In the event that Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate, then Lender shall forthwith give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) day prior to the applicable Determination Date, with a written confirmation of such determination promptly thereafter. If such notice is given, the Loan shall bear interest at the Adjusted Prime Rate beginning on the first (1st) day of the next succeeding Interest Accrual Period.

If, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Loan has been converted to the Adjusted Prime Rate and Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable, Lender shall give notice thereof to Borrower, and

00000000.0.XXXXXXXX

the Adjusted Prime Rate shall convert to the LIBOR Rate effective on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Accrual Period. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to elect to have the Loan bear interest at either the LIBOR Rate or the Adjusted Prime Rate.

(c) Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate and all references in the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the “Interest Rate” shall be deemed to refer to the Default Rate. Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the earlier of (i) the actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then due) and (ii) the cure of such Event of Default. To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement. This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default; the acceptance of any payment from Borrower shall not be deemed to cure or constitute a waiver of any Event of Default; and Lender retains its rights under the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Debt upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of any Event of Default, despite any payment by Borrower to Lender.

(d) Interest Calculation. Interest shall be computed based on the daily rate produced assuming a three hundred sixty (360) day year, multiplied by the actual number of days elapsed during each Interest Accrual Period. Borrower understands and acknowledges that such interest accrual method results in more interest accruing on the Loan than if either a thirty (30) day month and a three hundred sixty (360) day year or the actual number of days and a three hundred sixty five (365) day year were used to compute the accrual of interest on the Loan. Lender shall determine the Interest Rate applicable to the Loan in accordance with this Agreement and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The books and records of Lender shall be prima facie evidence of all sums owing to Lender from time to time under this Agreement, but the failure to record any such information shall not limit or affect the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents.

(e) Selected Day and Securitization Closing Date; Securitization Interest Adjustments; Payment Date. (1) Lender may in its sole discretion designate the Securitization Closing Date by providing not less than twenty-four (24) hours prior notice to Borrower. Lender may in its sole discretion designate a day of the calendar month (w) as the Selected Day for purposes of establishing, in accordance with the definition of “Interest Accrual Period”, the beginning and ending dates of the Interest Accrual Period that commences in the month in which the Securitization Closing Date occurs (and, to the extent contemplated in the definition of Interest Accrual Period, the prior month) and each Interest Accrual Period thereafter and/or (y) as the Payment Date commencing in the month in which the Securitization Closing Date occurs and continuing thereafter.

00000000.0.XXXXXXXX

In lieu of such designation, Lender may elect that the Interest Accrual Period with respect to the first Payment Date after the Securitization Closing Date and each Payment Date thereafter shall be the calendar month preceding such Payment Date. The designation of the Selected Day, Payment Date or election of calendar-month Interest Accrual Periods shall be a one-time event; once made, such designation or election shall apply for (1) purposes of establishing, in accordance with the definition of “Interest Accrual Period”, the beginning and ending dates of the Interest Accrual Period that commences in the month in which the Securitization Closing Date occurs (and, to the extent contemplated in the definition of Interest Accrual Period, the prior month) and each Interest Accrual Period thereafter and/or (2) purposes of establishing the Payment Date each month during the term of the Loan.

(i) With respect to any portion of any Interest Accrual Period that also comprises all or any portion of a Securitization Initialization Period, if the amount of interest payable by Borrower hereunder (based on the Interest Rate using LIBOR as of the applicable Determination Date) is less than the amount of interest which would be payable if the Interest Rate were determined using the Securitization Initialization Period LIBOR in lieu of LIBOR (such deficiency being the “Securitization Interest Adjustment Amount” for such Interest Accrual Period), then Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Payment Date related to any such Interest Accrual Period (or, if such Payment Date occurred prior to the Securitization Closing Date, then on the next succeeding Payment Date) the Securitization Interest Adjustment Amount.

(ii) Similarly, if Lender exercises its option pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 2.4(e) to elect calendar Interest Accrual Periods for Payment Dates after the Securitization Closing Date, in respect of any portion of the first such calendar Interest Accrual Period that overlaps with an Interest Accrual Period with respect to which a payment was already made on a prior Payment Date, in respect of the number of days of overlap, Borrower shall be credited with the interest already paid and, on the first Payment Date after the Securitization Closing Date, shall be obligated to pay in respect of such overlapping days only an amount equal to the greater of (A)(1) the amount of interest accrued for such overlapping days using LIBOR as determined two Business Days prior to the first day of the month prior to the Securitization Month minus (2) the amount of interest accrued for such overlapping days using the LIBOR determined as of the Determination Date in the month prior to the Securitization Month and (B) zero.

(iii) In the event that Lender changes the Selected Day to a day pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 2.4(e) to a day that is earlier in the month than the Selected Day as previously defined, then, with respect to the first Payment Date after the Securitization Closing Date and the portion (if any) of the applicable Interest Accrual Period that does not overlap with the Securitization Initialization Period, if Borrower has already paid the amount of interest it owed in respect of such non-overlapping portion as calculated prior to such change in the Selected Day on the most recent Payment Date prior to such change in the Selected Day, then Borrower shall not owe any further amount of interest in respect of such non-overlapping portion.

00000000.0.XXXXXXXX

(f) Usury Savings. This Agreement and the Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum nonusurious interest rate, if any, that at any time or from time to time may be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received on the indebtedness evidenced by the Note and as provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents, under the laws of such state or states whose laws are held by any court of competent jurisdiction to govern the interest rate provisions of the Loan (such rate, the “Maximum Legal Rate”). If, by the terms of the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due on the Loan at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder (and any such payments shall not require the payment of a Spread Maintenance Premium or any other prepayment premium). All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

Section 2.5. Loan Payments

(a) Payment Before Maturity. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender interest for the Interim Interest Accrual Period and on each Payment Date thereafter through and including the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender all interest that has accrued or will accrue during the Interest Accrual Period in which such Payment Date (or Maturity Date, as applicable) occurs.

(b) Payment on Maturity. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts (including, without limitation, any Spread Maintenance Premium or other penalty or premium, if any) due hereunder and under the Note, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(c) Extension of the Maturity Date. Borrower shall have the option to extend the term of the Loan beyond the Initial Maturity Date for four (4) successive terms (each, an “Extension Option”) of one (1) year each to (w) the Payment Date occurring in April, 2018, (x) the Payment Date occurring in April, 2019, (y) the Payment Date occurring in April, 2020 and (z) the Payment Date occurring in April, 2021 (each such date, an “Extended Maturity Date” and each such one-year period an “Extension Term”), respectively, and, as to each Extension Option, upon satisfaction of the following terms and conditions:

00000000.0.XXXXXXXX

(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time the applicable Extension Option is exercised and on the date that the applicable Extension Term is commenced;

(ii) Borrower shall notify Lender of its irrevocable election to extend the Maturity Date as aforesaid not earlier than three (3) months, and no later than one (1) month, prior to the then applicable Maturity Date;

(iii) Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender prior to the commencement of such Extension Term, a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, which Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be effective commencing on the first day of such Extension Term and shall have a term extending through and including the end of the Interest Accrual Period in which the applicable Extended Maturity Date falls;

(iv) (A) each Other Mezzanine Loan shall have been extended in accordance with the terms of the related Other Mezzanine Loan Agreement and (B) the Mortgage Loan shall have been extended in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement;

(v) in connection with the exercise of each Extension Option, Borrower shall have paid to Lender the applicable Extension Fee; and

(vi) Borrower shall have paid all of Lender’s reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, in connection with Borrower’s exercise of such Extension Option.

All references in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents to the Maturity Date shall mean the applicable Extended Maturity Date in the event the applicable Extension Option is exercised.

(d) Application of Payments. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, all monthly payments made as scheduled pursuant to this Agreement and the Note shall be applied first, to the payment of interest (calculated at the Interest Rate) due and payable on the Loan and then, the balance toward the reduction of the principal amount of the Debt. Any mandatory prepayment of the principal of the Loan made pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof and any other voluntary prepayments of principal of the Loan made pursuant to Section 2.6, Section 2.9 or otherwise when no Event of Default exists shall be applied, to the extent thereof, by Lender to accrued but unpaid interest on the amount prepaid, to the outstanding principal amount, and any other sums due and unpaid to Lender in connection with the Loan, in such manner and order as Lender may elect in its sole and absolute discretion, including, but not limited to, application to principal installments in inverse order of maturity. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payment made on the Debt shall be applied to accrued but unpaid interest, late charges, accrued fees, the unpaid principal amount of the Debt, and any other sums due and unpaid to Lender

00000000.0.XXXXXXXX

in connection with the Loan, in such manner and order as Lender may elect in its sole and absolute discretion.

(e) Method and Place of Payment.

(i) Each payment by Borrower hereunder shall be made to Lender at its offices or at such other place as Lender may designate from time to time in writing.

(ii) All payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 2:00 P.M. New York, New York time.

(iii) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the first Business Day preceding such Payment Date.

(iv) All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction for, any setoff, defense or counterclaims.

(v) Remittances in payment of any part of the indebtedness other than in the required amount in immediately available U.S. funds shall not, regardless of any receipt or credit issued therefor, constitute payment until the required amount is actually received by the holder hereof in immediately available U.S. funds and shall be made and accepted subject to the condition that any check or draft may be handled for collection in accordance with the practices of the collecting bank or banks.

(f) Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or other payment due under the Loan Documents (other than the outstanding principal amount of the Loan due on the Maturity Date) is not paid by Borrower on or prior to the date the same is due (after taking into account the payment date convention set forth in Section 2.5(e) hereof) (or such greater period, if any, required by applicable Legal Requirements), Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable Legal Requirements in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(g) Additional Payment Provisions.

(i) If at any time after the date hereof, Lender (which shall include, for purposes of this Section, any corporation controlling Lender and any participant of Lender’s rights hereunder) reasonably determines that due to the adoption or modification of any Legal Requirement regarding taxation, Lender’s required levels of reserves, deposits, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance or capital (including any allocation of capital requirements or conditions),

00000000.0.XXXXXXXX

or similar requirements, or any interpretation or administration thereof by any Tribunal or compliance of Lender with any of such requirements, has or would have the effect of (A) increasing Lender’s costs relating to the Loan, or (B) reducing the yield or rate of return of Lender on the Loan, to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for the adoption or modification of any such Legal Requirements, Borrower shall, within fifteen (15) days of any request by Lender, pay to Lender such additional amounts as (in Lender’s sole judgment, after good faith and reasonable computation) will compensate Lender for such increase in costs or reduction in yield or rate of return of Lender (a “Consequential Loss”). No failure by Lender to immediately demand payment of any additional amounts payable hereunder shall constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to demand payment of such amounts at any subsequent time. Nothing herein contained shall be construed or so operate as to require Borrower to pay any interest, fees, costs or charges greater than is permitted by applicable law.

(ii) If any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain a Loan with the Interest Rate being based on LIBOR as contemplated hereunder, (A) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make such Loan based on LIBOR or to convert the Loan from the Adjusted Prime Rate to the LIBOR Rate shall be canceled forthwith, and (B) any outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted automatically to a loan bearing interest at the Adjusted Prime Rate on the next succeeding Payment Date or within such earlier period as required by law. Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any costs incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the Loan hereunder. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.5(g)(ii), Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than ninety (90) days written notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional costs. Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iii) In the event that any change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:

shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate hereunder;

shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that

00000000.0.XXXXXXXX

which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material;

shall subject Lender to any Taxes (other than (I) Indemnified Taxes, (II) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (III) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, or other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition (other than Taxes);

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which Lender deems to be material as determined by Lender. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.5(g)(iii), Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than ninety (90) days written notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount. A certificate as to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

(iv) Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any loss or expense which Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (A) any default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on a LIBOR Loan, including, without limitation, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder, (B) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the LIBOR Loan that did not include all interest which had accrued (or would have accrued) at the Interest Rate through the end of the related Interest Accrual Period, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder, and (C) the conversion (for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of the Interest Rate from the LIBOR Rate to the Adjusted Prime Rate with respect to any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan then bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate on a date other than the Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest Accrual Period, including, without limitation, such loss or expenses arising

00000000.0.XXXXXXXX

from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (A), (B) and (C) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”). This provision shall survive payment of the Note in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(v) Within fifteen (15) days after request by Lender (or at the time of any prepayment), Borrower shall pay to Lender such amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for any loss, cost, expense, penalty, claim or liability, including any loss incurred in obtaining, prepaying, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds from third parties and any loss of yield, as determined by Lender in its judgment reasonably exercised incurred by it with respect to the Loan as a result of the payment or prepayment of any amount on a date other than the date such amount is required or permitted to be paid or prepaid; provided that Lender delivers to Borrower a certificate as to the amounts of such costs described herein, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Lender shall have no obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the funding or maintaining of the Loan or any portion thereof. The obligations of Borrower under this Section shall survive any termination of the Loan Documents and payment of the Note and shall not be waived by any delay by Lender in seeking such compensation.

Section 2.6. Loan Prepayments

(a) Voluntary.

(i) Except as otherwise expressly permitted under this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 2.9 hereof, no voluntary prepayments, whether in whole or in part, of the Loan or any other amount at any time due and owing under this Agreement can be made by Borrower or any other Person without the express prior written consent of Lender, and Lender shall have no obligation to accept any prepayment except when made in accordance with the terms hereof. Borrower may on any Business Day at its option and upon giving Lender not less than thirty (30) (and not more than ninety (90)) days prior written notice, prepay the Loan (such notice being revocable or may be modified by Borrower on at least two (2) Business Days prior written notice to Lender provided Borrower pays all of Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the notice of prepayment) (A) on or before the Spread Maintenance Date, in whole or in part, with payment of the Spread Maintenance Premium, and (B) after the Spread Maintenance Date, in whole or in part, without payment of any premium, fee or penalty. Any prepayment shall include the payment of all additional amounts required to be paid by Borrower and all other amounts owing by Borrower to Lender under the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, (1) any Breakage Costs incurred by Lender in connection with the cancellation or termination of a LIBOR or swap contract entered into in connection with the Loan, and (2) Compensating Interest. As a condition to any prepayment contemplated by this Section 2.6(a), Borrower shall have delivered evidence satisfactory to Lender that each Other Mezzanine Loan and the Mortgage Loan are simultaneously being prepaid on a

00000000.0.XXXXXXXX

pro-rata basis in accordance with the terms of the related Other Mezzanine Loan Documents and the Mortgage Loan Documents, respectively. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, no prepayment shall be permitted on any day during the period commencing on the first calendar day immediately following a Payment Date to, but not including, the Determination Date occurring in such calendar month.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in connection with any release of one or more Individual Properties (and the related Collateral, as applicable) in accordance with this Agreement, Borrower shall be permitted to prepay the Loan, at any time or times prior to the Spread Maintenance Date without any Spread Maintenance Premium, in an aggregate amount not to exceed forty percent (40%) of the original principal balance of the Loan (the “Free Prepayment Amount”), provided (A) there is no Event of Default continuing as of the date of the applicable prepayment, and (B) Borrower otherwise complies with this Section 2.6.

(b) Mandatory; Liquidation Event.

(vii) In the event of a Liquidation Event, Borrower shall cause the related Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service to be paid directly to Lender. On each date on which Lender actually receives a distribution of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service, Lender shall apply such Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service as a prepayment to the outstanding principal balance of the Debt in an amount up to the Release Price associated with the Individual Property (provided that to the extent Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service are less than such Release Price, provided there exists no Event of Default, Borrower shall be permitted to prepay the Loan in an amount equal to the remainder of such Release Price in compliance with the requirements of Section 2.6(a) hereof without payment of any Spread Maintenance Premium) to which such Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service relate together with any Compensating Interest and any Breakage Costs associated therewith and any other sums due in connection therewith. All Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service in excess of such Release Price and Compensating Interest and Breakage Costs associated therewith (if any) and any other sums due in connection therewith shall (i) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be held and applied by Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing be applied as follows: (A) first, to the Mezzanine D Loan up to the Mezzanine D Release Price for the affected Individual Property (together with any Compensating Interest (as defined in the Mezzanine D Loan Agreement) and any Breakage Costs (as defined in the Mezzanine D Loan Agreement) associated therewith and any other sums due in connection therewith), and (B) second, any remaining Net Proceeds shall be deposited into the Cash Management Account and applied by Mortgage Lender in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. Borrower shall not be required to pay a Spread Maintenance Premium or any other prepayment premium in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.6(b) solely in connection with a Casualty or Condemnation.

00000000.0.XXXXXXXX

(viii) Borrower shall immediately notify Lender of any Liquidation Event once Borrower has knowledge of such event. Borrower shall be deemed to have knowledge of (1) a sale (other than a foreclosure sale) of any Individual Property, Mezzanine A Collateral or Mezzanine B Collateral, as applicable, on the date on which a contract of sale for such sale is entered into, and a foreclosure sale, on the date notice of such foreclosure sale is given, and (2) a refinancing of the Property, Mezzanine A Collateral or Mezzanine B Collateral, as applicable, on the date on which a commitment for such refinancing is entered into. The provisions of this Section 2.6(b) shall not be construed to contravene in any manner the restrictions and other provisions regarding refinancing of the Mortgage Loan, the Mezzanine A Loan or the Mezzanine B Loan or Transfer of the Property, the Mezzanine A Collateral or the Mezzanine B Collateral set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(c) After Event of Default. If, prior to the first (1^st) anniversary of the Closing Date, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall accelerate the Debt and Borrower thereafter tenders payment of all or any part of the Debt, or if all or any portion of the Debt is recovered by Lender after such Event of Default, Borrower shall pay to Lender, in addition to the Debt and the applicable Spread Maintenance Premium, (i) Compensating Interest, (ii) Breakage Costs, and (iii) an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Debt being prepaid.

Section 2.7. Taxes

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of Borrower) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by Borrower, then Borrower 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 applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party 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) the applicable Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any Other Taxes.

(c) Indemnification. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify Lender, within ten (10) 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 Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such

00000000.0.XXXXXXXX

Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.7, such Loan Party shall deliver to Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender.

(e) Status of Lenders.

(vi) In the event Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document, Lender shall deliver to Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower as will enable Borrower to determine whether or not 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(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Lender.

(vii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is a U.S. Person,

(A) Lender shall deliver to Borrower from time to time upon the reasonable request of Borrower executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

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

00000000.0.XXXXXXXX

reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax 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 establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax 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 Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue 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, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by Borrower) 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 Borrower), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if 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 Internal Revenue Code, as applicable),

00000000.0.XXXXXXXX

Lender shall deliver to Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as may be necessary for Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that Lender has complied with Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

(E) 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 Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. 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 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.7), 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 2.7 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 Section 2.7(f) (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 Section 2.7(f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.7(f) 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 Tax 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 Tax 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.

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

(g) Lender shall have received payment of all Lender’s reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including due diligence review costs and reasonable counsel fees and disbursements incurred in connection with the release of the Released Collateral from the lien of

00000000.0.XXXXXXXX

(h) Borrower shall have delivered evidence satisfactory to Lender that (i) each Other Mezzanine Borrower has complied with all of the terms and conditions set forth in the related Other Mezzanine Loan Agreement with respect to a release of the security interest corresponding to the release requested pursuant to this Section, including, without limitation, that each Other Mezzanine Loan is simultaneously being prepaid at the applicable Release Price (as defined in the related Other Mezzanine Loan Agreement) in accordance with the terms of the related Other Mezzanine Loan Documents and (ii) each Other Mezzanine Lender has delivered (or is simultaneously delivering) such release to the related Other Mezzanine Borrower, if applicable; and
