execution and delivery by Borrower, Administrative Agent and each Lender (including each Additional Lender) of a Loan Increase Supplement effecting such Loan Increase and (iii) the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 and
3.3, such Loan Increase shall be disbursed (solely by such Additional Lender or Additional Lenders). Notwithstanding that a Loan Increase shall be advanced solely by such Additional Lenders, immediately upon the disbursement of such Loan
Increase, and without further action by any Person, each Additional Lender shall be deemed to have purchased and acquired from the Lenders party to this Agreement prior thereto interests in the Loan then outstanding, and such Lenders party to this
Agreement prior hereto shall be deemed to have purchased and acquired from each of the Additional Lenders interests in the Loan Increase, such that each Lender (including each Additional Lender) holds interests in the entire outstanding amount of
the Loan (including each Loan Increase) in the proportion that its Commitment (including, if applicable, its Additional Commitment) bears to all Commitments (including all Additional Commitments). Each Fixed Rate Portion, outstanding on the date of
any Loan Increase shall either be converted to one or more new Fixed Rate Portions for a Fixed Rate Period commencing on such date (as selected by Borrower prior thereto in accordance with this Agreement) or converted to a Variable Rate, and
Borrower shall pay the Fixed Rate Price Adjustment resulting from any such conversion. 
  
 (e) Sugar Land Property. In the event that on or before the Effective Date the lessor under the Sugar Land Lease or any condominium association for a condominium development that includes the Sugar Land
Property does not deliver to Administrative Agent an estoppel certificate satisfactory to Administrative Agent and the Initial Advance is nevertheless made, then, upon (i) receipt by Administrative Agent of reasonably satisfactory estoppel
certificates from such lessor and from such condominium associations, and (ii) not less than ten (10) days’ written notice from Borrower to Administrative Agent, the Allocated Loan Amount for the Sugar Land Property shall be advanced to
Borrower, subject to the limitations on Loan Availability and to the conditions set forth in Section 3.2. 
  
 (f) San Antonio Property. In the event that on or before the Effective Date any of the items identified in Exhibit K is not delivered to
Administrative Agent and the Initial Advance is nevertheless made, then, upon (i) receipt by Administrative Agent of all such items (in form and 

  

 18 








 
substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent) and (ii) not less than ten (10) days’ written notice from Borrower to Administrative Agent,
the Allocated Loan Amount for the San Antonio Property shall be advanced to Borrower, subject to the limitations on Loan Availability and the conditions set forth in Section 3.2. 
  
 2.2 LOAN FEES. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent such fees as are set forth in a separate letter
agreement between Borrower and Administrative Agent. From such fees paid to Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent shall pay to each Lender that is party to this Agreement on the Effective Date the amounts set forth in a separate letter
agreement between Administrative Agent and such Lender. 
  
 2.3
LOAN DOCUMENTS. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent (or cause to be executed and delivered) concurrently with this Agreement each of the documents, properly executed and in recordable form, as applicable,
described in Exhibit B as Loan Documents, together with those documents described in Exhibit B as Other Related Documents. 
  
 2.4 EFFECTIVE DATE. The date of the Loan Documents is for reference purposes only. The Effective Date of delivery and transfer to
Administrative Agent of the security under the Loan Documents and of Borrower’s and Lenders’ obligations under the Loan Documents shall be the date the Initial Advance is made. 
  
 2.5 MATURITY DATE. All sums due and owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be repaid in
full on or before the Maturity Date. All payments due to Administrative Agent and Lenders under this Agreement, whether at the Maturity Date or otherwise, shall be paid in Dollars in immediately available funds. 
  
 2.6 INTEREST ON THE LOAN. 
  
 (a) Interest Payments. Interest accrued on the outstanding principal
balance of the Loan shall be due and payable, in the manner provided in Section 2.7, on the first day of each month commencing with the first month after the Effective Date. 
  
 (b) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in Sections 2.6(e) below and the payment
dates specified in Section 2.6(a), at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default, the principal balance of the Loan then outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on the
Loan not paid when due, shall (unless waived by the Requisite Lenders) bear interest payable upon demand at the Alternate Rate. All other amounts due Administrative Agent or Lenders (whether directly or for reimbursement) under this Agreement or any
of the other Loan Documents if not paid when due, or if no time period is expressed, if not paid within ten (10) days after demand, shall (unless waived by the Requisite Lenders) likewise bear interest from and after demand at the Alternate Rate.

  
 (c) Late Fee. Borrower acknowledges that late payment
to Administrative Agent will cause Administrative Agent and Lenders to incur costs not contemplated by this Agreement. 

  

 19 








 
Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges. Therefore, if Borrower fails timely to pay any sum due and payable hereunder
through the Maturity Date (other than payment of the entire outstanding balance of the Loan on the Maturity Date), unless waived by Administrative Agent (to the extent it is permitted to do so pursuant to Section 11.12(a)) or the Requisite
Lenders, a late charge of four cents ($.04) for each dollar of any such principal payment, interest or other charge due hereon and which is not paid within fifteen (15) days after such payment is due, shall be charged by Administrative Agent (for
the benefit of Lenders) and paid by Borrower for the purpose of defraying the expense incident to handling such delinquent payment. Borrower and Administrative Agent agree that this late charge represents a reasonable sum considering all of the
circumstances existing on the date hereof and represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Administrative Agent and Lenders will incur by reason of late payment. Borrower and Administrative Agent further agree that proof of actual
damages would be costly and inconvenient. Acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of the default with respect to the overdue installment, and shall not prevent Administrative Agent from exercising any of the other rights
available hereunder or any other Loan Document. Such late charge shall be paid without prejudice to any other rights of Administrative Agent. 
  
 (d) Computation of Interest. Interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which interest or
fees accrue and a year of three hundred sixty (360) days on the principal balance of the Loan outstanding from time to time. In computing interest on the Loan, the date of the making of a disbursement under the Loan shall be included and the date of
payment shall be excluded. Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 2.6, interest in respect of the Loan shall not exceed the Maximum Interest Rate. 
  

(e) Effective Rate. The “Effective Rate” upon which interest shall be calculated for the Loan shall, from and after the Effective Date
of this Agreement, be one or more of the following: 
  
 (i) Provided no Default exists under this Agreement: 
  
 (A) for those portions of the principal balance of the Notes which are not Fixed Rate Portions, the Effective Rate shall be the Variable Rate. 
  
 (B) for those portions of the principal balance of the Notes which are Fixed Rate Portions, the Effective
Rate for the Fixed Rate Period thereof shall be the Fixed Rate selected by Borrower and set in accordance with the provisions hereof, provided, however, if any of the transactions necessary for the calculation of interest at any Fixed
Rate requested or selected by Borrower should be or become prohibited or unavailable to Administrative Agent, or, if in Administrative Agent’s good faith judgment, it is not possible or practical for Administrative Agent to set a Fixed Rate for
a Fixed Rate Portion and Fixed Rate Period as requested or selected by Borrower, Administrative Agent shall so notify Borrower and Lenders and the Effective Rate for such Fixed Rate Portion shall remain at or revert to the Variable Rate. 

 

 20 








 (ii) During such time as a Default exists under this Agreement; or from and after the
date on which all sums owing under the Notes become due and payable by acceleration or otherwise; or from and after the date on which the Collateral or any portion thereof or interest therein, is sold, transferred, mortgaged, assigned, or
encumbered, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, or by operation of law or otherwise, without Administrative Agent’s prior written consent (whether or not the sums owing under the Notes become due and payable by acceleration); or from and
after the Maturity Date, then (unless waived by the Requisite Lenders) in each case, the interest rate applicable to the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be the Alternate Rate. 
  
 (f) Selection of Fixed Rate. Provided no Default or Potential Default
exists under this Agreement, Borrower, at its option and upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein, may request a Fixed Rate as the Effective Rate for calculating interest on the portion of the unpaid principal balance and for the period
selected in accordance with and subject to the following procedures and conditions, provided, however, that Borrower may not have in effect at any one time more than five (5) Fixed Rates: 
  
 (i) Borrower shall deliver to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.,
Disbursement and Operations Center, 2120 East Park Place, Suite 100, El Segundo, California, 90245, Attention: Geraldine San Mateo, with a copy to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., 1750 H Street, Suite 400, Washington, DC 20006, Attention: Mark Monahan, or
such other addresses as Administrative Agent shall designate, an original or facsimile Fixed Rate Notice no later than 9:00 A.M. (California time), and not less than three (3) nor more than five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed Fixed Rate
Period for each Fixed Rate Portion. Any Fixed Rate Notice pursuant to this subsection (i) is irrevocable. Administrative Agent is authorized to rely upon the telephonic request and acceptance of Douglas Vicari or Sean Dell’Orto as
Borrower’s duly authorized agents, or such other and/or additional authorized agents as Borrower shall designate in writing to Administrative Agent. Borrower’s telephonic notices, requests and acceptances shall be directed to such officers
of Administrative Agent as Administrative Agent may from time to time designate. 
  
 (ii) Borrower may elect (A) to convert Variable Rate advances to a Fixed Rate Portion, or (B) to convert a matured Fixed Rate Portion into
a new Fixed Rate Portion, provided, however, that the aggregate amount of the advance being converted into or continued as a Fixed Rate Portion shall comply with the definition thereof as to Dollar amount. The conversion of a matured
Fixed Rate Portion back to a Variable Rate or to a new Fixed Rate Portion shall occur on the last Business Day of the Fixed Rate Period relating to such Fixed Rate Portion. Each Fixed Rate Notice shall specify (A) the amount of the Fixed Rate
Portion, (B) the Fixed Rate Period, and (C) the Fixed Rate Commencement Date. 
  
 (iii) Upon receipt of a Fixed Rate Notice in the proper form requesting a Fixed Rate Portion advance under subsections (i) and (ii) above, Administrative Agent shall determine the Fixed Rate applicable to the Fixed
Rate Period for such Fixed Rate Portion two (2) Business Days prior to the beginning of such Fixed Rate Period. Each 

  

 21 








 
determination by Administrative Agent of the Fixed Rate shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto in the absence of manifest error.
Administrative Agent shall deliver to Borrower and each Lender (by facsimile) an acknowledgment of receipt and confirmation of the Fixed Rate Notice and the Fixed Rate determined pursuant thereto; provided, however, that failure to
provide such acknowledgment of receipt and confirmation of the Fixed Rate Notice to Borrower or any Lender shall not affect the validity of such rate. 
  

(iv) If Borrower does not make a timely election to convert all or a portion of a matured Fixed Rate Portion into a new Fixed Rate
Portion in accordance with this Section 2.6(f) above, such Fixed Rate Portion shall be automatically converted to a Variable Rate upon the expiration of the Fixed Rate Period applicable to such Fixed Rate Portion. 
  
 (g) Fixed Rate Taxes, Regulatory Costs and Reserve Percentages. Upon
Administrative Agent’s demand, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, in addition to all other amounts which may be, or become, due and payable under this agreement and the other Loan Documents, any and all
Fixed Rate Taxes and Regulatory Costs, to the extent they are not internalized by the calculation of a Fixed Rate. Further, at Administrative Agent’s option, the Fixed Rate shall be automatically adjusted by adjusting the Reserve Percentage, as
determined by Administrative Agent in its prudent banking judgment, from the date of imposition (or subsequent date selected by Administrative Agent) of any such Regulatory Costs. Administrative Agent shall give Borrower notice of any Fixed Rate
Taxes and Regulatory Costs as soon as practicable after their occurrence, but Borrower shall be liable for any Fixed Rate Taxes and Regulatory Costs regardless of whether or when notice is so given 
  
 (h) Fixed Rate Price Adjustment. Borrower acknowledges that
prepayment or acceleration of a Fixed Rate Portion during a Fixed Rate Period shall result in Lenders’ incurring additional costs, expenses and/or liabilities and that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of such
costs, expenses and/or liabilities. Therefore, on the date a Fixed Rate Portion is prepaid or the date all sums payable hereunder become due and payable, by acceleration or otherwise (“Price Adjustment Date”), Borrower will pay
Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender (in addition to all other sums then owing to Lenders) an amount (“Fixed Rate Price Adjustment”) equal to the then present value of (i) the amount of interest that would have
accrued on the Fixed Rate Portion for the remainder of the Fixed Rate Period at the Fixed Rate set on the Fixed Rate Commencement Date, less (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on the same Fixed Rate Portion for the same period if the
Fixed Rate were set on the Price Adjustment Date at the Applicable LIBO Rate in effect on the Price Adjustment Date. The present value shall be calculated by using as a discount rate the LIBO Rate quoted on the Price Adjustment Date. 
  
 By initialing this provision where indicated below, Borrower confirms that
Lenders’ agreement to make the Loan at the interest rates and on the other terms set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents constitutes adequate and valuable consideration, given individual weight by Borrower, for this agreement

  

 22 








 Borrower Initials.
                                 
  
 (i) Purchase, Sale and Matching of Funds. Borrower
understands, agrees and acknowledges the following: (a) Lenders have no obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the use of a LIBO Rate as a basis for calculating a Fixed Rate or Fixed Rate Price Adjustment; (b) a LIBO Rate
is used merely as a reference in determining a Fixed Rate and Fixed Rate Price Adjustment; and (c) Borrower has accepted a LIBO Rate as a reasonable and fair basis for calculating a Fixed Rate and a Fixed Rate Price Adjustment. Borrower further
agrees to pay the Fixed Rate Price Adjustment, Fixed Rate Taxes and Regulatory Costs, if any, whether or not any Lender elects to purchase, sell and/or match funds. 
  
 2.7 PAYMENTS. 
  
 (a) Manner and Time of Payment. All payments of principal, interest and fees hereunder payable to Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall be made
without condition or reservation of right and free of set-off or counterclaim, in Dollars and by wire transfer (pursuant to Administrative Agent’s written wire transfer instructions) of immediately available funds, to Administrative Agent, for
the account of each Lender as applicable, not later than 11:00 A.M. (Pacific time) on the date due; and funds received by Administrative Agent after that time and date shall be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.

  
 (b) Payments on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment
to be made by Borrower hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, payments shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest
hereunder and of any fees due under this Agreement, as the case may be. 
  
 (c) Voluntary Prepayment. Borrower may, upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (Pacific time) on the date given, at any time and from time to time,
prepay all or any portion of the Loan without penalty, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Section 2.7(c). Any notice of prepayment given to Administrative Agent under this Section 2.7(c) shall specify the date of
prepayment and the principal amount of the prepayment. In the event of a prepayment of any Fixed Rate Portion, Borrower shall concurrently pay any Fixed Rate Price Adjustment payable in respect thereof. Any principal balance reduction shall reduce
Lenders’ Commitment by a like amount, and any such amounts repaid by Borrower may not be reborrowed. 
  
 2.8 AMORTIZATION PAYMENTS. If the Option to Extend is exercised and the Maturity Date is extended to the Extended Maturity Date, Borrower
shall make a principal payment of the Loan in the amount of $400,000 on December 31, 2007, and on the last day of each calendar quarter thereafter until the Extended Maturity Date. 
  
 2.9 MINIMUM DSC HURDLE. If, as of any two consecutive DSC Test Dates, the Properties fail to achieve the
Minimum DSC Hurdle, the Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, within thirty (30) business days after the such second Test Date, as a principal payment of the Loan, the amount of the DSC Shortfall as of the such second DSC Test Date. The
failure to 

  

 23 








 
achieve the Minimum DSC Hurdle as of a third consecutive or subsequent consecutive DSC Test Date shall in each case constitute a failure to achieve the
Minimum DSC Hurdle as of two consecutive DSC Test Dates. Along with any prepayment required to be made under this Section 2.9, Borrower shall pay any Fixed Rate Price Adjustment applicable thereto. 
  
 2.10 INCREASE OF LOAN AMOUNT.  
  
 (a) Subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of this Section
2.10 and provided that the full Loan Amount of $100,000,000 has theretofore been disbursed, the Borrower may from time to time, not later than six (6) months prior to the Original Maturity Date, request that Administrative Agent and Lenders
agree to an increase of the Loan Amount by an amount not to exceed Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) in the aggregate for all such increases. 
  
 (b) Borrower may request an increase in the Loan Amount by written notice to Administrative Agent, which notice shall (i) identify the amount of the
requested increase; (ii) identify the property or properties (each, a “Proposed Property”) that Borrower intends to acquire to support the increase in the Loan Amount, each of which Proposed Properties shall satisfy the criteria set
forth in paragraph (c) below; and (iii) include with respect to each such Proposed Property such operating statements, financial information and information regarding the proposed acquisition thereof by Borrower, information regarding the
construction and condition of the Proposed Property and the management and license or franchise agreements for the Proposed Property and such other information regarding the Proposed Property as Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.

  
 (c) Each Proposed Property shall be a hotel (i) located in the
United States of America (excluding Alaska or Hawaii), (ii) that has been fully completed and operating for not less than two years under a franchise or license agreement with a nationally recognized licensor or franchisor with a reputation and of a
quality comparable to those of the Properties and (iii) that is not then undergoing and is not scheduled or required to undergo any material renovation or remodeling other than renovations required under a product improvement plan of the applicable
licensor or franchisor at a cost not to exceed ten percent (10%) of the then appraised value or purchase price of such Proposed Property. 
  
 (d) Upon Administrative Agent’s approval of such Proposed Property or Proposed Properties and of the requested increase in the Loan Amount,
Administrative Agent shall request such approval from the Lenders. Neither Administrative Agent’s approval nor any Lender’s approval thereof shall constitute an agreement to lend any additional amount hereunder, but the written approval of
Administrative Agent and of all Lenders shall be required in order for any Additional Lender to make an Additional Commitment to effect such increase. If Administrative Agent and all of the Lenders approve in writing the requested increase in the
Loan Amount and the Proposed Property or Proposed Properties proposed by Borrower to support such increase and provided an Additional Lender or Additional Lenders agree to make Additional Commitments in an aggregate amount equal to the increase in
the Loan Amount, then, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 and 3.3, the Loan Amount shall be increased by an amount not to exceed the least of (i) the increase in the Loan Amount requested by
Borrower, (ii) sixty percent (60%) of the “as-is” appraised value of such Proposed Property or 

  

 24 








 
Proposed Properties (in the aggregate) as determined pursuant to an Appraisal or Appraisals thereof approved by Administrative Agent or (iii) an amount such
that, if such Proposed Property or Proposed Properties had been included in the Properties as of the most recent DSC Test Date and the Loan Increase had been outstanding as of the most recent DSC Test Date, the Aggregate DSC would have equaled or
exceeded the greater of (A) 1.35, (B) the Minimum DSC Hurdle applicable to such DSC Test Date or (C) the actual Aggregate DSC as of such DSC Test Date (the amount by which the Loan Amount is so increased being herein referred to as a “Loan
Increase”). 
  
 2.11 FULL REPAYMENT AND
RECONVEYANCE. Upon receipt of all sums owing and outstanding under the Loan Documents, Administrative Agent shall issue a full reconveyance (or release) of the Properties from the lien of the Deeds of Trust (or, if requested by Borrower, an
assignment thereof, without recourse and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent); provided, however, that Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, shall have received all escrow,
closing and recording costs, the costs of preparing and delivering such reconveyance (or release) and any sums then due and payable under the Loan Documents. Lenders’ obligations to make further disbursements under the Loan shall terminate as
to any portion of the Loan undisbursed as of the date of issuance of such full reconveyance (or release), and any commitment of Lenders to lend any undisbursed portion of the Loan shall be canceled. 
  
 2.12 LENDERS’ ACCOUNTING. Administrative Agent shall
maintain a loan account (the “Loan Account”) on its books in which shall be recorded (a) the names and addresses and the Pro Rata Shares of the commitment of each of the Lenders, and principal amount of the Loan owing to each Lender
from time to time, and (b) all repayments of principal and payments of accrued interest, as well as payments of fees required to be paid pursuant to this Agreement. All entries in the Loan Account shall be made in accordance with Administrative
Agent’s customary accounting practices as in effect from time to time. Monthly or at such other interval as is customary with Administrative Agent’s practice, Administrative Agent will render a statement of the Loan Account to Borrower and
will deliver a copy thereof to each Lender. Each such statement shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive upon Borrower in all respects as to all matters reflected therein (absent manifest error). 
  
 2.13 OPTION TO EXTEND. Borrower shall have the option to extend
(“Option to Extend”) the term of the Loan from the Original Maturity Date to the Extended Maturity Date, upon satisfaction of each of the following conditions precedent: 
  
 (a) Borrower shall provide Administrative Agent with written notice of Borrower’s request to exercise the Option to
Extend not more than ninety (90) days but not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Original Maturity Date; 
  
 (b) As of the date of Borrower’s delivery of notice of request to exercise the Option to Extend, and as of the Original Maturity Date, no Default or
Potential Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and Borrower shall so certify in writing; 
  

 25 








 (c) Borrower shall execute or cause the execution of all documents reasonably required by Administrative
Agent to exercise the Option to Extend and shall deliver to Administrative Agent, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, such endorsements to the Title Policies as reasonably required by Administrative Agent; 
  
 (d) On or before the Original Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to
Administrative Agent, for the pro rata benefit of Lenders, an extension fee in the amount of 0.20% of the total Commitments for the Loan (consisting of the Loan plus any amount of the Commitments not yet disbursed), as determined on the Original
Maturity Date; provided, however, that Borrower may elect, by written notice to Administrative Agent given at the time of or prior to the exercise of the Option to Extend, to reduce the Commitments (on a pro rata basis among the
Lenders) to an aggregate amount that is not less than the outstanding principal balance of the Loan; 
  
 (e) The Aggregate DSC as of the last day of the most recent DSC Test Date prior to the Original Maturity Date shall equal or exceed 1.45; provided,
however, in the event such Aggregate DSC requirement is not met, Borrower shall either (i) pay down the outstanding principal balance of the Loan prior to the Original Maturity Date to the extent necessary to meet such Aggregate DSC
requirement, in which event the Commitments shall be reduced (on a pro rata basis) in the amount of such principal payment or (ii) revoke its exercise of the Option to Extend by written notice to Administrative Agent at least thirty (30) days prior
to the Original Maturity Date; 
  
 (f) At Administrative
Agent’s option, Administrative Agent shall have received an Appraisal or Appraisals confirming to the satisfaction of Administrative Agent that the ratio of the Loan Amount to the “as is” appraised value of the Properties (in the
aggregate), determined as of a date not earlier than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the Original Maturity Date, does not exceed sixty percent (60%); provided, however, in the event such ratio exceeds sixty percent (60%),
Borrower shall either (i) pay down the outstanding principal balance of the Loan prior to the Original Maturity Date to the extent necessary to reduce such ratio to sixty percent (60%), in which event the Commitments shall be reduced (on a pro rata
basis) in the amount of such principal payment or (ii) revoke its exercise of the Option to Extend by written notice to Administrative Agent at least thirty (30) days prior to the Original Maturity Date; 
  
 (g) No material adverse change shall have occurred with respect to Borrower,
Guarantor or any Property (as determined by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion); 
  
 (h) All of Borrower’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects as of the Original Maturity Date, and Borrower shall so certify in writing; and

  
 (i) Borrower shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
expenses related to the exercise of the Option to Extend. 
  
 Except as modified by the Option to Extend, the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect. 
  

 26 








 2.14 PARTIAL RELEASE. 
  
 Subject to the provisions of Section 2.7, Borrower may prepay (at its sole option), without penalty, to
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders as a principal payment of the Loan, the Release Price as reasonably determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement in respect of any one or more Properties.
If such payment is made, Administrative Agent shall, at Borrower’s request (as hereinafter provided), release the Deed of Trust (or, upon request by Borrower, an assignment thereof, without recourse and otherwise in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent) in respect of an applicable Property (but not any of the other Properties); provided, however, that the following conditions shall be satisfied: 
  
 (a) Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date of the requested release
(or assignment), Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a written request identifying the Property or Properties requested to be released (or with respect to which the Deed of Trust is requested to be assigned), the requested date of release
(or assignment) and Borrower’s calculation of the Release Price for each such Property in accordance with this Agreement, together with operating statements and other appropriate information in support of such calculation; 
  
 (b) Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent such additional
information as Administrative Agent may reasonably request from time to time with respect to the determination of the Release Price; 
  
 (c) Following such release (or assignment) and the payment of the applicable Release Price, the Adjusted NOI of each individual Property for the period of
twelve consecutive calendar months ending on the most recent DSC Test Date shall be less than thirty percent (30%) of the Aggregate Adjusted NOI for such period; 
  
 (d) Prior to or at the time of such release (or assignment), Borrower shall have paid to Administrative Agent, for the
account of the Lenders as a principal payment of the Loan, the Release Price as determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; 
  
 (e) No Default or Potential Default shall exist under the Loan Documents as of the date of the request delivered by Borrower
under paragraph (a) above or as of the date of the release (or assignment); and 
  
 (f) On the date of such release (or assignment), Administrative Agent shall have received (in addition to the Release Price) any and all sums then due and owing under the Loan Documents (including without limitation
any Fixed Rate Price Adjustment provided for in Section 2.6(h)), together with all escrow, closing and registration costs, and the costs of preparing and delivering such release (or assignment). 
  
 Neither the acceptance of any payment nor the issuance of any release (or assignment) by
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall affect any of Borrower’s obligations to 

  

 27 








 
pay all other amounts from time to time payable, or Borrower’s or any other Loan Party’s obligations, under the Loan Documents. 
  
 2.15 MAXIMUM INTEREST RATE. 
  
 As used herein, the term “Maximum Interest Rate” shall mean and
refer to the maximum rate of nonusurious interest, if any, that Lenders may from time to time charge Borrower and in regard to which Borrower would be prevented successfully from raising the claim or defense of usury under applicable Law as now, or
to the extent permitted by Law, as may hereafter be, in effect (said Law permitting the highest rate being herein referred to as the “Interest Law”). It is the intention of Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders to conform
strictly to the Interest Law applicable to this loan transaction. Accordingly, it is agreed that notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the Notes or in any other Loan Document or in any instrument otherwise relating
thereto, the aggregate of all interest and any other charges or consideration constituting interest under applicable Interest Law that is taken, reserved, contracted for, charged or received under this Agreement, or under any of the aforesaid
agreements or otherwise on or in connection with the Loan shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by the Interest Law applicable to this loan transaction or the Notes. If any usurious interest in such respect is
provided for, or shall be adjudicated to be so provided for, in this Agreement, in the Notes or in any of the other Loan Documents or other instruments otherwise relating thereto, or if the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes or if any
prepayment by Borrower results in Borrower having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable Law, then in such event (a) the provisions of this Section 2.15 shall govern and control, (b) neither Borrower nor Borrower’s
successors or assigns or any other party liable for the payment of the Notes shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent that it is in excess of the maximum amount of interest allowed by the Interest Law applicable to this
loan transaction, (c) any excess shall be deemed a mistake and canceled automatically and, if theretofore paid, shall be refunded to Borrower and (d) the effective rate of interest shall be automatically subject to reduction to the Maximum Interest
Rate allowed under such Interest Law as now or hereafter construed by courts of appropriate jurisdiction. All sums paid or agreed to be paid the Lenders for the use, forbearance, or detention of the indebtedness shall, to the extent permitted by the
Interest Law applicable to this loan transaction, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of said indebtedness until paid in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of said indebtedness does not exceed
the applicable usury ceiling. The right to accelerate the maturity of the indebtedness does not include the right to accelerate any interest which has not otherwise accrued on the date of such acceleration, and Lenders do not intend to collect
unearned interest in the event of acceleration. Notwithstanding any provision contained in the Notes, this Agreement or any other Loan Document that permits the compounding of interest, including without limitation any provision by which any of the
accrued interest is added to the principal amount of the Notes, the total amount of interest that Borrower is obligated to pay and Lenders are entitled to receive with respect to the Notes shall not exceed the Maximum Interest Rate on principal
amounts actually advanced to or for the account of Borrower, including the initial advance under the Notes and any advances made pursuant to this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document (such as for the principal amount of the Loan or the
payment of taxes, insurance premiums, and the like). 
  

 28 








 In consideration of the agreement of Lenders to advance sums hereunder, Borrower has agreed to pay to
Lenders certain loan fees (collectively, the “Fees”). Also, in order to reimburse Lenders for certain costs that Lenders may incur in the event of late payment or in the event the Loan is prepaid, Borrower has agreed to pay Lenders

 (b) If requested by Administrative Agent, Borrower shall deposit with the
appropriate governmental authority (if applicable) or with Administrative Agent (to the extent not paid by Borrower when due) the full amount of such Contested Item or which may be claimed by any governmental authority or which might result from an
adverse conclusion of such contest, together with such amount as Administrative Agent may reasonably estimate as interest or penalties which might arise during the period of contest; provided that in lieu of such payment Borrower may furnish to
Administrative Agent a bond or title indemnity in such amount and form, and issued by a bond or title insurance company, as may be reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

of staying the foreclosure or forfeiture of any Property (and any interference with the use of such Property for its intended purpose) and shall permit Administrative Agent to be represented in any such contest and (unless the contested item has
been paid in full or the Properties are otherwise fully protected against loss or forfeiture by reason thereof) shall pay all expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and Lenders in so doing, including, but not limited to, reasonable fees and
expenses of Administrative Agent’s and

applicable under the Notes until paid, payable upon demand). 
  
 (d) Borrower shall pay such Contested Item together with interest and penalties thereon (A) if and to the extent that any such Contested Item shall be determined adverse to Borrower, or (B) upon demand by Administrative Agent if, in the

may, but shall not be required to, pay such Contested Item and interest and penalties thereon and such other sums as may be necessary in the judgment of Administrative Agent to obtain the release and discharge of such item; and any amount expended
by Administrative Agent and/or Lenders in so doing shall bear interest at the rate of interest applicable under the Notes until paid, payable upon demand; and provided further that Administrative Agent and Lenders may in such case and for such

 (c) Administrative Agent shall have the right (to be exercised from time to
time at its election) to audit Borrower’s and Operating Lessees’ books and records in order to determine whether or not the funds disbursed from the Replacement Reserve Accounts have been spent only for the purpose for which they were
disbursed. Borrower shall cooperate, and shall cause Operating Lessees and Managers to cooperate, with Administrative Agent in connection with any such audit. The cost of the audit shall be borne by Borrower only if the audit reveals that any funds
were not used for the purposes intended but shall otherwise be borne by the Lenders. 
  

 41

pledged and assigned to Administrative Agent, for itself and for the benefit of the Lenders, all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in the Replacement Reserve Accounts.

Borrower’s Operating Accounts and the Operating Lessees’ Operating Accounts subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Pledge Agreement. Neither Borrower nor any Operating Lessee or Manager shall have any right to use any of the funds

material (and that Borrower certifies is not material in its written request for Administrative Agent’s consent thereto), such proposed amendment shall be deemed to be consented to by Administrative Agent if Administrative Agent fails to give
notice to 

  

 42 








 
Borrower that Administrative Agent does not consent thereto within ten (10) Business Days of Administrative Agent’s receipt of such written request for
consent or (if the requirements of the applicable Licensor or Manager give Borrower insufficient time to afford Administrative Agent such 10-Business Day period) such reasonable lesser period (but not less than five (5) Business Days) as Borrower
may state in its written request for Administrative Agent’s consent. Without the prior written consent of Requisite Lenders, Borrower shall not terminate or permit the termination of any License Agreement (except as provided in Section

comfort letter in a form substantially similar to the comfort letter delivered by Marriott for the other Properties or in such form as is then customarily delivered by Marriott with respect to similar hotels. 
  
 (c) In the event that there shall occur any default by Manager (or any other
event) that permits Borrower to terminate a Management Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof, Borrower may terminate such Management Agreement in accordance with the terms of such Management Agreement, provided that, prior to terminating
such Management Agreement, Borrower shall have entered into a replacement Management Agreement on terms and

is” appraised value of such Property (as determined in the Appraisal of such Property obtained pursuant to Section 3.1(c)(ii) or (in the case of an Additional Property) Section 3.3(d)(ii)), permit Property Proceeds held by
Administrative Agent to be used for repair or restoration but may condition such use of the Property Proceeds upon such conditions as Administrative Agent may reasonably require, including, without limitation: (i) the deposit with Administrative

equivalent to its condition prior to the condemnation is not reasonably practicable or (ii) there shall occur a material casualty to a Property and the same is not insured or the proceeds of insurance are insufficient to restore the Property (and,
in such case (if applicable), Borrower does not satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 7.9(b)(i)), Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days of demand therefor by Administrative Agent at the direction of the
Required Lenders, a principal payment of the Loan in an amount equal to the Release Price for such Property (determined as if such Property were to be released at the time of such payment) and, provided no Default has occurred that is continuing,

 45 








 
any material violation of any Law affecting Borrower or any other Loan Party or any Property or (c) exercise of rights or remedies under any Major Agreement

Guarantor’s) expertise, reputation and prior experience in owning and operating hotels, Lenders’ knowledge of Borrower (and Guarantor), and Lenders’ understanding that this Agreement is more in the nature of an agreement involving
personal services than a standard loan where Lenders would rely on security which already exists.

contain such information as may be reasonably available to Borrower to enable Administrative Agent and its counsel to evaluate such matters.

has been taken, is being taken and is proposed to be taken with respect thereto.

 (a) Upon the occurrence of any Default specified in Section 9.1(f) or

of protest and nonpayment; notice of costs, expenses or losses and interest thereon; notice of late charges; and diligence in taking any action to collect any sums owing under the Notes or in proceeding against any of the rights or interests in or

provisions contained in the Manager’s Subordination Agreements), charge, set-off and otherwise apply all or any part of the funds on deposit in any of the Pledged Accounts against the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents.

  
 9.3 DISBURSEMENTS TO THIRD PARTIES.
Administrative Agent may from time to time, before or after the occurrence of a Default, make such disbursements and advances pursuant to the Loan Documents which Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable to preserve
or protect the Properties or other Collateral to enhance the likelihood or maximize the amount of repayment of the Liabilities (“Protective Advances”). Borrower agrees to pay Administrative Agent, upon demand, the principal amount of all
outstanding Protective Advances, together with interest thereon at the rate set forth in the Notes from the date of the disbursement of such Protective Advances until the outstanding principal balance thereof is paid in full. Upon the making of a
Protective Advance, Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to any and all rights, equal or superior titles, equities, owned or claimed by any owner or holder of said outstanding Indebtedness, however remote, regardless of whether said Indebtedness
are acquired by assignment or have been released of record by the holder thereof upon payment. All Protective Advances advanced under this Section 9.3 shall be fully secured by the Loan Documents. 
  
 9.4 REPAYMENT OF FUNDS ADVANCED. Any funds expended by
Administrative Agent or any Lender in the exercise of its rights or remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be Liabilities secured by the Properties and other collateral under the Loan Documents, payable to Administrative
Agent upon demand, together with interest at the rate applicable to the principal balance of the Notes from the date the funds were expended. 
  
 9.5 RIGHTS CUMULATIVE, NO WAIVER. All of Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ rights and remedies provided in this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, 

  

 54 








 
together with those granted by law or at equity, are cumulative and may be exercised by Administrative Agent and Lenders at any time and from time to time.
Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s exercise of any right or remedy shall not constitute a cure of any Default unless all sums then due and payable to Administrative Agent and Lenders under the Loan Documents are repaid and Borrower has
cured all other Defaults. No waiver shall be implied from any failure of Administrative Agent or any Lender to take, or any delay by Administrative Agent or any Lender in taking, action concerning any Default or failure of condition under the Loan
Documents, or from any previous waiver of any similar or unrelated Default or failure of condition. Any waiver or approval under any of the Loan Documents must be in writing and shall be limited to its specific terms. 
  
 ARTICLE 10. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT; INTERCREDITOR PROVISIONS 

 
 10.1 APPOINTMENT AND AUTHORIZATION. 
  
 (a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes
Administrative Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and Other Related Documents as are specifically delegated to
Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents and
Other Related Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. 
  
 (b) Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Loan Documents or the Other Related
Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. 
  
 (c) Nothing herein shall be construed to deem Administrative
Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on Administrative Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms “Administrative
Agent”, “Agent”, “agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents with reference to Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising
under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. 
  
 (d) Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender,
promptly upon receipt thereof by Administrative Agent, copies of each of the financial statements, certificates, notices and other documents delivered to Administrative Agent pursuant to Article 8. Administrative Agent will also furnish to
any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where appropriate, an original) of any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished to Administrative Agent by the Borrower, any Loan Party or any other Affiliate of the
Borrower, 

  

 55 








 
pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan
Document. 
  
 (e) As to any matters not expressly
provided for by the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of Borrower’s obligations hereunder), Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take
any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other
provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the obligations of Borrower; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Requirements of Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing,
Administrative Agent shall exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Potential Default or Default unless the Requisite Lenders have directed Administrative Agent otherwise. Without
limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Administrative Agent as a result of Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or the Other Related
Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or where applicable, all the Lenders. 
  
 10.2 WELLS FARGO AS LENDER. Wells Fargo, as a Lender, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other Loan Document
as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Wells Fargo in each case in its individual
capacity. Wells Fargo and its affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of
business with the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the other Lenders. Further, Administrative Agent and any affiliate may accept fees and other
consideration from the Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the other Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Wells Fargo or its affiliates may
receive information regarding the Borrower, other loan parties, other subsidiaries and other Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that Administrative Agent
shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. 
  
 10.3 LOAN DISBURSEMENTS. 
  
 (a) Each Lender (or, in the case of any Loan Increase, each Additional Lender) shall make available to Administrative Agent (or the funding bank or entity designated by Administrative Agent), the amount of such Lender’s (or Additional
Lender’s) Pro Rata Share of such disbursement in immediately available funds not later than the times designated in Section 10.3(b). Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender not later 

  

 56 








 
than the close of business (Pacific time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the Funding Date in respect of any disbursement that such Lender does not
intend to make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such disbursement, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender shall make such amount available to Administrative Agent. If any Lender does not notify
Administrative Agent of its intention not to make available its Pro Rata Share of such disbursement as described above, but does not for any reason make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such disbursement, such
Lender shall pay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate. In any case where a Lender does not for any reason make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata
Share of such disbursement, Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may, but shall not be obligated to, fund to Borrower such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such disbursement. If Administrative Agent funds to Borrower such Lender’s Pro
Rata Share of such disbursement and if such Lender subsequently pays to Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such disbursement. Nothing in this Section
10.3(a) shall alter the respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder in respect of a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Pro Rata Advance. 
  
 (b) Requests by Administrative Agent for funding by Lenders of disbursements will be made by telecopy. Each Lender (or, in the case of any
Loan Increase, each Additional Lender) shall make the amount of its disbursement available to Administrative Agent in Dollars and in immediately available funds, to such bank and account, in El Segundo, California (to such bank and account in such
other place) as Administrative Agent may designate, not later than 9:00 A.M. (Pacific time) on the Funding Date designated by Administrative Agent with respect to such disbursement, but in no event earlier than two (2) Business Days following
Lender’s receipt of the applicable request for an advance of the Loan. 
  
 (c) Nothing in this Section 10.3 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Pro Rata Share of disbursements on any Funding Date, nor shall Administrative Agent or any Lender
be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to perform its obligations to make any disbursement hereunder, and the Commitment of any Lender shall not be increased or decreased as a result of the failure by any other Lender to perform its
obligation to make a disbursement. 
  
 10.4 DISTRIBUTION AND
APPORTIONMENT OF PAYMENTS; DEFAULTING LENDERS. 
  
 (a) Subject to Section 10.4(b) below, payments actually received by Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders shall be paid to them promptly after receipt thereof by Administrative Agent, but in any event within one (1)
Business Day, provided that Administrative Agent shall pay to Lenders interest thereon, at the lesser of (i) the Federal Funds Rate and (ii) the rate of interest applicable to the Loan, from the Business Day following receipt of such funds by
Administrative Agent until such funds are paid in immediately available funds to Lenders. All payments of principal, interest, and other payments under the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents shall be allocated among such of Lenders as are
entitled thereto, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares in the Loan or otherwise as provided herein or as 

  

 57 








 
separately agreed by Administrative Agent and any Lender. Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute, but in any event within two (2) Business Days, to
each Lender at its primary address set forth on the appropriate signature page hereof or on the Assignment and Assumption Agreement or Loan Increase Supplement, or at such other address as a Lender may request in writing, such funds as it may be
entitled to receive, provided that Administrative Agent shall in any event not be bound to inquire into or determine the validity, scope or priority of any interest or entitlement of any Lender and may suspend all payments and seek appropriate
relief (including, without limitation, instructions from Requisite Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable, or an action in the nature of interpleader) in the event of any doubt or dispute as to any apportionment or distribution contemplated hereby.
The order of priority herein is set forth solely to determine the rights and priorities of Lenders as among themselves and may at any time or from time to time be changed by Lenders as they may elect, in writing in accordance with this Agreement,
without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by Borrower or any other Person. All payments or other sums received by Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders shall not constitute property or assets of Administrative Agent and
shall be held by Administrative Agent, solely in its capacity as agent for itself and the other Lenders, subject to the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents. 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, until such time as a Defaulting Lender has funded
its Pro Rata Share of a Protective Advance or prior Loan disbursements which was previously a Non-Pro Rata Advance, or all other applicable Lenders have received payment in full (whether by repayment or prepayment) of the amounts due in respect of
such Non-Pro Rata Advance, all of the indebtedness and obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder shall be subordinated in right of payment, as provided in the following sentence, to the prior payment in full of all principal, interest
and fees in respect of all Non-Pro Rata Advances in which the Defaulting Lender has not funded its Pro Rata Share (such principal, interest and fees being referred to as “Senior Loans”). All amounts paid by Borrower and otherwise
due to be applied to the indebtedness and obligations owing to the Defaulting Lender pursuant to the terms hereof shall be distributed by Administrative Agent to the other Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Loan
(recalculated for purposes hereof to exclude the Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loan), until all Senior Loans have been paid in full. This provision governs only the relationship among Administrative Agent, each Defaulting Lender,
and the other Lenders; nothing hereunder shall limit the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement. The provisions of this section shall apply and be effective regardless of whether a Default occurs and is then continuing, and notwithstanding (i)
any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (ii) any instruction of Borrower as to its desired application of payments or (iii) the suspension of such Defaulting Lender’s right to vote on matters which are subject to the consent or
approval of Requisite Lenders or all Lenders. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to (A) withhold or setoff, and to apply to the payment of the defaulted amount and any related interest, any amounts to be paid to such Defaulting Lender under this
Agreement, and (B) bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest. In addition, the Defaulting Lender shall indemnify, defend and hold
Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities and costs, plus interest thereon at the Alternate Rate, which they may sustain or incur 

  

 58 








 
by reason of or as a direct consequence of the Defaulting Lender’s failure or refusal to perform its obligations under this Agreement. 
  
 10.5 PRO RATA TREATMENT. Except to the extent otherwise
provided herein: (a) each borrowing from Lenders shall be made from the Lenders, each payment of the fees shall be made for the account of the Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Agreement
shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments; (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of the Loan by the Borrower shall be made for the account of the Lenders
pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loan held by them, provided that if immediately prior to giving effect to any such payment in respect of the Loan the outstanding principal amount of the Loan shall not be
held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments in effect at the time the Loan was made, then such payment shall be applied to the Loan in such manner as shall result, as nearly as is practicable, in the outstanding
principal amount of the Loan being held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments; and (c) each payment of interest on the Loan by the Borrower shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with
the amounts of interest on the Loan then due and payable to the respective Lenders. 
  
 10.6 SHARING OF PAYMENTS, ETC. Lenders agree among themselves that (i) with respect to all amounts received by them which are applicable to the payment of the obligations of Borrower or Guarantor under
the Loan, equitable adjustment will be made so that, in effect, all such amounts will be shared among them ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares in the Loan, whether received by voluntary payment, by counterclaim or cross action or by the
enforcement of any or all of such obligations, (ii) if any of them shall by voluntary payment or by the exercise of any right of counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such obligations held by it which
is greater than its Pro Rata Share in the Loan of the payments on account of such obligations, the one receiving such excess payment shall purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (which it shall be deemed to
have done simultaneously upon the receipt of such payment) in such obligations owed to the others so that all such recoveries with respect to such obligations shall be applied ratably in accordance with such Pro Rata Shares; provided, that if all or
part of such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to that party to the extent necessary to adjust
for such recovery, but without interest except to the extent the purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with such recovery. Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this
Section 10.6 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation. 

 
 10.7 COLLATERAL MATTERS; PROTECTIVE ADVANCES. 
  
 (a) Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent,
without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to a Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral, Loan Documents or Other Related 

  

 59 








 
Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to any of the Loan Documents or Other
Related Documents. 
  
 (b) The Lenders hereby
authorize Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by Administrative Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments and indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full of all
of obligations of Borrower hereunder; (ii) as expressly permitted by, but only in accordance with, the terms of the applicable Loan Document (including Sections 2.14, 6.2(e) and 7.9(e) hereof) and (iii) otherwise only with the approval
of all Lenders. Upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section. 
  
 (c) Upon any sale and transfer of Collateral which is
expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written request by the Borrower, Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the
Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders herein or pursuant hereto upon the Collateral that was sold or transferred; provided,
however, that (i) Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any
consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the obligations of Borrower or any Liens upon (or obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan
Party in respect of) all interests retained by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, including (without limitation) the proceeds of such sale or transfer, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. In the event of any sale or
transfer of Collateral, or any foreclosure with respect to any of the Collateral, Administrative Agent shall be authorized to deduct all of the expenses reasonably incurred by Administrative Agent from the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or
foreclosure. 
  
 (d) Administrative Agent shall
have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to Administrative Agent
herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of
care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Administrative Agent in this Section or in any of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the
Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, Administrative Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given Administrative Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that
Administrative Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except to the extent resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
  

(e) Administrative Agent may make, and shall be reimbursed by the Lenders (in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares) to the extent not
reimbursed by the Borrower for, 

  

 60 








 
Protective Advances during any one calendar year with respect to any Property that is Collateral up to the sum of (i) amounts expended to pay real estate
taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon such Property; (ii) amounts expended to pay insurance premiums for policies of insurance related to such Property; and (iii) $50,000 for other expenditures to protect the Collateral.
Protective Advances in excess of said sum during any calendar year for any Property that is Collateral shall require the consent of the Requisite Lenders. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all Protective Advances. 
  
 (f) Each Lender agrees that it will not take any action, nor
institute any actions or proceedings, against Borrower or any other obligor hereunder under the Loan Documents or the Other Related Documents with respect to exercising claims against or rights in the Collateral without the written consent of
Requisite Lenders. 
  
 10.8 POST-FORECLOSURE PLANS.
If all or any portion of the Collateral is acquired by Administrative Agent as a result of a foreclosure or the acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, or is retained in satisfaction of all or any part of the obligations of
Borrower hereunder, the title to any such Collateral, or any portion thereof, shall be held in the name of Administrative Agent or a nominee or subsidiary of Administrative Agent, as agent, for the ratable benefit of all Lenders. Administrative
Agent shall prepare a recommended course of action for such Collateral (a “Post-Foreclosure Plan”), which shall be subject to the approval of the Requisite Lenders. In accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan,
Administrative Agent shall manage, operate, repair, administer, complete, construct, restore or otherwise deal with the Collateral acquired, and shall administer all transactions relating thereto, including, without limitation, employing a
management agent, leasing agent and other agents, contractors and employees, including agents for the sale of such Collateral, and the collecting of rents and other sums from such Collateral and paying the expenses of such Collateral. Actions taken
by Administrative Agent with respect to the Collateral, which are not specifically provided for in the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan or reasonably incidental thereto, shall require the written consent of the Requisite Lenders by way of supplement
to such Post-Foreclosure Plan. Upon demand therefor from time to time, each Lender will contribute its share (based on its Pro Rata Share) of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent pursuant to the approved
Post-Foreclosure Plan in connection with the construction, operation, management, maintenance, leasing and sale of such Collateral. In addition, Administrative Agent shall render or cause to be rendered to each Lender, on a monthly basis, an income
and expense statement for such Collateral, and each Lender shall promptly contribute its Pro Rata Share of any operating loss for such Collateral, and such other expenses and operating reserves as Administrative Agent shall deem reasonably necessary
pursuant to and in accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan. To the extent there is net operating income from such Collateral, Administrative Agent shall, in accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan, determine the amount and
timing of distributions to the Lenders. All such distributions shall be made to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. The Lenders acknowledge and agree that if title to any Collateral is obtained by Administrative Agent or
its nominee, such Collateral will not be held as a permanent investment but will be liquidated as soon as practicable. Administrative Agent shall undertake to sell such Collateral, at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Requisite
Lenders reasonably shall determine to be most 

  

 61 








 
advantageous to the Lenders. Any purchase money mortgage or deed of trust taken in connection with the disposition of such Collateral in accordance with the
immediately preceding sentence shall name Administrative Agent, as agent for the Lenders, as the beneficiary or mortgagee. In such case, Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall enter into an agreement with respect to such purchase money mortgage
or deed of trust defining the rights of the Lenders in the same Pro Rata Shares as provided hereunder, which agreement shall be in all material respects similar to this Article insofar as the same is appropriate or applicable. 
  
 10.9 APPROVALS OF LENDERS. All communications from
Administrative Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s determination, consent, approval or disapproval (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as
to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (c)
shall include, if reasonably requested by such Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and a summary of all oral information provided to Administrative Agent by the Borrower in respect of the matter or
issue to be resolved, and (d) shall include Administrative Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof. Unless a Lender shall give written notice to Administrative Agent that it specifically objects to the
recommendation or determination of Administrative Agent (together with a reasonable written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within ten (10) Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the
express terms of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents) of receipt of such communication, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination. 
  
 10.10 NOTICE OF DEFAULTS. Administrative Agent shall not be
deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Potential Default unless Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or
Potential Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also serving as Administrative Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Potential Default, it shall promptly send to
Administrative Agent such a “notice of default”. Further, if Administrative Agent receives such a “notice of default,” Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. 
  
 10.11 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S RELIANCE, ETC.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Documents or the Other Related Documents, neither Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel shall be liable for any action taken or
not taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein or therein. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent: may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for the Borrower or any other Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be
liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. Neither 

  

 62 








 
Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel: (a) makes any warranty or representation to any Lender or any other
Person and shall be responsible to any Lender or any other Person for any statement, warranty or representation made or deemed made by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan
Document; (b) shall have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this
Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of the Borrower or other Persons or inspect the property, books or records of the Borrower or any other Person; (c) shall be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity,
enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or any Collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any Lien in favor of
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders in any such Collateral; (d) shall have any liability in respect of any recitals, statements, certifications, representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan Documents or Other Related
Documents or any other document, instrument, agreement, certificate or statement delivered in connection therewith; and (e) shall incur any liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice,
consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties. Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties
under the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross
negligence or willful misconduct. 
  
 10.12 INDEMNIFICATION
OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. Regardless of whether the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and Other Related Documents are consummated, each Lender agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent (to the extent not
reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent but not as a
“Lender”) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and Other
Related Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Requisite Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross
negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation
of the Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the counsel to Administrative Agent) incurred by Administrative 

  

 63 








 
Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or
otherwise) of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents, any suit or action brought by Administrative Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and
Other Related Documents and/or collect any obligation of Borrower hereunder, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against Administrative Agent and/or
the Lenders arising under any Hazardous Materials Laws. Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of Administrative Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that Administrative Agent is
not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by Administrative Agent that Administrative Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that Administrative
Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or Other Related Documents and the termination of this
Agreement. If the Borrower shall reimburse Administrative Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to Administrative Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, Administrative Agent shall share
such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment. 
  
 10.13 LENDER CREDIT DECISION, ETC. Each Lender expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, attorneys-in-fact or
other affiliates has made any representations or warranties to such Lender and that no act by Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or Affiliate, shall be deemed to constitute
any such representation or warranty by Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to Administrative Agent, or any of their
respective officers, directors, employees, agents or counsel, and based on the financial statements of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties or Affiliates, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of
the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon
Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to Administrative Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents. Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrower or any
other Loan Party of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of, or make any other investigation of, the Borrower, any other Loan Party. Except for
notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any of the other Loan 

  

 64 








 
Documents or Other Related Documents, Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information
concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of Administrative Agent or any of its officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or other Affiliates. Each Lender acknowledges that Administrative Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to
Administrative Agent and is not acting as counsel to such Lender. 
  
 10.14 SUCCESSOR ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. Administrative Agent may resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower
and shall resign if at any time any other Lender has a Commitment in a greater amount than the Commitment of the Administrative Agent. In addition, the Requisite Lenders may remove Administrative Agent in the event that the Administrative Agent
commits gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of its duties thereunder. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall,
provided no Default or Potential Default exists, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (except that the Borrower shall, in all events, be deemed to have approved each Lender and any
of its Affiliates as a successor Administrative Agent). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after
the current Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the current Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve,
and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the current Administrative Agent, and the current Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents. After any Administrative
Agent’s resignation hereunder or removal as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 10 shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the
Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Administrative Agent may assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents to any of its Affiliates by
giving the Borrower and each Lender prior written notice. 
  
 10.15 TITLED AGENTS. PNC Bank, National Association, in its capacity as Documentation Agent, assumes no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of the
Loan, nor any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders. The title given to the Documentation Agent is solely honorific and implies no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Documentation Agent to Administrative Agent, any Lender, the
Borrower or any other Loan Party and the use of such titles does not impose on the Documentation Agent any duties or obligations greater than those of any other 

  

 65 








 
Lender or entitle the Documentation Agent to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is entitled. 
  
 10.16 NO SET-OFFS. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that the
exercise by any Lender of offset, set-off, banker’s lien or similar rights against any deposit account or other property or asset of Borrower, whether or not located in California, could result under certain laws in significant impairment of
the ability of all Lenders to recover any further amounts in respect of the Loan. Therefore, each Lender agrees not to charge or offset any amount owed to it by Borrower against any of the accounts, property or assets of Borrower or any of its
affiliates held by such Lender without the prior written approval of Administrative Agent and Requisite Lenders.

any portion of Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents) if such failure to perform or delay in performing results directly or indirectly from, or is based upon, the action, inaction, or purported
action, of any governmental or local authority, or because of war, rebellion, insurrection, strike, lock-out, boycott or blockade (whether presently in effect, announced or in the sole judgment of Administrative Agent or such Lender deemed
probable), or from any Act of God or other cause or event beyond Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s reasonable control (specifically excluding, however, the lack of available funds).

writing in accordance with the terms of this Section, notwithstanding any attempted cure or other action by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Default. Except as otherwise explicitly provided
for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 
  
 11.13 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. 
  
 (a) Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of is rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all the Lenders (and any such assignment or transfer to which all
of the Lenders have not consented shall be void). 
  
 (b)
Participations. Any Lender may at any time grant to an affiliate of such Lender, or one or more banks or other financial institutions (each a “Participant” ) participating interests in its Commitment or the obligations owing
to such Lender hereunder. No Participant shall have any rights or benefits under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender shall remain responsible
for the performance of it obligations hereunder, and the Borrower and Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement
pursuant to which any Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder including, without limitation, the right to
approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided however, such Lender may agree with the Participant that it will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (i) increase such
Lender’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal on the Loan or a portion thereof owing to such Lender, or (iii) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon. An assignment or other transfer which is not

 (c) Assignments. Any Lender may with the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and the Borrower (which
consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld) at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes; provided,
however, (i) no such consent by the Borrower shall be required (x) if a Default or Potential Default shall exist or (y) in the case of an assignment to another Lender or an affiliate of any Lender; (ii) any partial assignment shall be in an amount
at least equal to $10,000,000 and after giving effect to such assignment the assigning Lender retains a Commitment, or if the Commitments have been terminated, holds a Note having an outstanding principal balance, of at least $10,000,000, and (iii)
each such assignment shall be effected by means of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement. Upon execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by such Assignee to such transferor 

  

 70 








 
Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be deemed to be a Lender party
to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender with a Commitment as set forth in such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, and the transferor Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding
extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection (c), the transferor Lender, Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so the
new Notes are issued to the Assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate. In connection with any such assignment, the transferor Lender shall pay to Administrative Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of
$3,500. Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to the Borrower, or any of its respective Affiliates or subsidiaries.

first day on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for the account of any Lender, each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America, or a state thereof, shall furnish Administrative Agent and Borrower with a
properly completed executed copy of either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN and either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and any additional form (or such other form) as
is necessary to claim complete exemption from United States withholding taxes on all payments hereunder. At all times each Lender shall own or beneficially own a Note, such Lender shall (i) promptly provide to Administrative Agent and Borrower a new
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN and Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and any additional form (or such other form) (or any successor form or forms) upon the expiration
or obsolescence of any previously delivered form and comparable statements in accordance with applicable United States laws and regulations and amendments duly executed and completed by such Lender, and (ii) comply at all times with all applicable
United States laws and regulations, including all provisions of any applicable tax treaty, with regard to any withholding tax exemption claimed with respect to any payments on the Loan. If any Lender cannot deliver such form, then Borrower may
withhold from payments due under the Loan Documents such amounts as Borrower is able to determine from accurate information provided by such Lender are required by the Internal Revenue Code. 
  
 (e) Federal Reserve Bank Assignments. In addition to the assignments
and participations permitted under the foregoing provisions of the Section, and without the need to comply with any of the formal or procedural requirements of this Section, any Lender may at any time and from time to time, pledge and assign all or
any portion of its rights under all or any of the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge of assignment shall release such Lender from its obligation thereunder. 
  
 (f) Information to Assignee, Etc. A Lender may furnish any information
concerning the Borrower, any subsidiary or any other Loan Party in the possession of such Lender from time to time to Assignees and Participants (including prospective Assignees and Participants but shall advise them that any such information that
is not publicly available is confidential). In 

  

 71 








 
connection with such negotiation, execution and delivery, Borrower authorizes Administrative Agent and Lenders to communicate all information and
documentation related to the Loan (whether to Borrower or to any Participant, Assignee, legal counsel, appraiser or other necessary party) directly by e-mail, fax, or other electronic means used to transmit information. 
  
 11.14 CERTAIN ALLOWED DISCLOSURES. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary set forth herein or in any other written or oral understanding or agreement to which the parties hereto are parties or by which they are bound, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) any obligations of confidentiality
contained herein and therein do not apply and have not applied from the commencement of discussions between the parties to the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents (and any
related transactions or arrangements), and (ii) each party (and each of its employees, representatives, or other agents) may disclose to any and all parties as required, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the
transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such party relating to such tax treatment and tax structure, all within the
meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4; provided, however, that each party recognizes that the privilege each has to maintain, in its sole discretion, the confidentiality of a communication relating to the transactions contemplated by the
Loan Documents and Other Related Documents, including a confidential communication with its attorney or a confidential communication with a federally authorized tax practitioner under Section 7525 of the Internal Revenue Code, is not intended to be
affected by the foregoing. 
  
 11.15 CAPITAL
ADEQUACY. 
  
 (a) Borrower’s Obligation to
Pay. If any Lender or any Participant or Assignee in the Loan determines that compliance with any law or regulation or with any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental agency (whether or not having the force of law)
affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender, such Participant or such Assignee, or any corporation controlling such Lender, such Participant or such Assignee, as a consequence of, or with
reference to, such Lender’s, such Participant’s or such Assignee’s or such corporation’s commitments or its making or maintaining advances below the rate which such Lender, such Participant or such Assignee or such corporation
controlling such Lender, such Participant or such Assignee could have achieved but for such compliance (taking into account the policies of such Lender, such Participant or such Assignee or corporation with regard to capital), then (without
duplication of any other obligation of Borrower under the Loan Documents) Borrower shall, from time to time, within thirty (30) calendar days after written demand by such Lender, such Participant or such Assignee, pay to such Lender, such
Participant or such Assignee additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender, such Participant or such Assignee or such corporation controlling such Lender, such Participant or such Assignee to the extent that such Lender, such Participant
or such Assignee determines such increase in capital is allocable to such Lender’s, such Participant’s or such Assignee’s obligations hereunder. A certificate as to such amounts, submitted to Borrower by such Lender, such Participant
or such Assignee, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

 (b) Replacement of Lender. If any Lender or any Participant or Assignee requests compensation
under Section 11.15(a) that is not requested by other Lenders, Participants or Assignees, then, provided no Default has occurred that is continuing Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Lender or Assignee
(or the Lender that has entered into the Participation Agreement with such Participant) and to the Administrative Agent (i) require the Lender or Assignee requesting such compensation to assign and delegate, without recourse, in accordance with and
subject to the limitations contained in Section 11.13(c) (except that either Borrower or the Eligible Assignee to which such assignment shall be made shall pay the fee provided for therein) its rights and obligations hereunder to an Eligible
Assignee approved by Borrower and Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) that shall assume such rights and obligations and shall pay (or cause to be paid) to such Lender or Assignee the outstanding principal amount
of the Loan then held by it hereunder and all other obligations owing to it under the Loan Documents or (ii) in the case of a Participant requesting such compensation, require the Participant to assign and delegate (without recourse) its rights and
obligations under its participant agreement to a replacement Participant approved by the Lender party to such participation agreement, which replacement Participant shall assume such rights and obligations and shall pay (or cause to be paid) to the
assigning Participant the outstanding principal amount of its participation interest in the Loan and all other obligations owing to it by reason of such participation interest. A Lender or Assignee or Participant shall not be required to make such
assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, such Lender, Participant or Assignee shall waive its claim for the compensation theretofore claimed. 
  
 11.16 LENDER’S AGENTS. Administrative Agent and/or any Lender may designate an agent or independent contractor to exercise any of such
Person’s rights under this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents and Other Related Documents. Any reference to Administrative Agent or any Lender in any of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents shall include Administrative
Agent’s and such Lender’s agents, employees or independent contractors. Borrower shall pay the costs of such agent or independent contractor either directly to such person or to Administrative Agent or such Lender in reimbursement of such
costs, as applicable. 
  
 11.17 EVIDENCE OF TAX
PAYMENTS. Borrower shall provide to Administrative Agent, on or before the date when due, evidence of the payments in full of any taxes or assessments levied against any Property. If Borrower shall fail to furnish evidence of such payment,
Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, is authorized to secure, at Borrower’s expense, a tax service contract with a third party vendor which shall provide tax information on the Property satisfactory to Administrative Agent. 

 
 11.18 WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY TO THIS
AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (a) ARISING UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR OTHER RELATED DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE MODIFICATION THEREOF
OR (b) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO 

  

 73 








 
THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR OTHER RELATED DOCUMENTS (AS NOW OR HEREAFTER MODIFIED) OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN
CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION IS NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY
AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF ANY RIGHT THEY MIGHT OTHERWISE HAVE TO TRIAL BY
JURY. 
  
 11.19 SEVERABILITY. If any provision
or obligation under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or Other Related Documents shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severed from the Loan Documents
and the Other Related Documents and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations shall remain in full force as though the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been a part of the Loan
Documents or Other Related Documents, provided, however, that if the rate of interest or any other amount payable under the Notes or this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the right of collectibility therefor, are declared to be
or become invalid, illegal or unenforceable, Lenders’ obligations to make advances under the Loan Documents shall not be enforceable by Borrower. 
  
 11.20 TIME. Time is of the essence of each and every term of this Agreement. 
  
 11.21 HEADINGS. All article, section or other headings appearing in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents
and Other Related Documents are for convenience of reference only and shall be disregarded in construing this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents and Other Related Documents. 
  
 11.22 GOVERNING LAW; CHOICE OF FORUM; SERVICE OF PROCESS. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in
accordance with and shall be governed by the laws of the District of Columbia except to the extent preempted by United States federal law. Administrative Agent or Lenders may bring any action or proceeding to enforce or arising out of this Agreement
in any court of competent jurisdiction. If Administrative Agent or Lenders commence such an action in a court located in the District of Columbia, or the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, Borrower hereby agrees that it will
submit and does hereby irrevocably submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and will not attempt to have such action dismissed, abated, or transferred on the ground of forum non conveniens or similar grounds; provided,
however, that nothing contained herein shall prohibit Borrower from seeking, by appropriate motion, to remove an action brought in a District of Columbia court to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. If such action is so
removed, however, Borrower shall not seek to transfer to any other district any action which Administrative Agent or Lenders originally commence in such federal court. Any action or proceeding brought by Borrower arising out of this Agreement shall
be brought solely in a court of competent 

  

 74 








 
jurisdiction located in the District of Columbia or in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. 
  
 Borrower agrees that a summons and complaint or equivalent documents
commencing an action or proceeding in any court shall be validly and properly served and shall confer personal jurisdiction over Borrower if served to Corporation Service Company, 1090 Vermont Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20005 or Carol Weld King, Esq.,
Hogan & Hartson L.L.P., 555 Thirteenth Street, NW, Washington, DC 20004, each of whom Borrower hereby designates and appoints as Borrower’s authorized agent to accept and acknowledge on its behalf service of any and all process which may be
served in such action or proceeding in any such court. Borrower shall be sent, by certified mail to Borrower’s notice address as provided herein, a copy of such summons and complaint at the time of service upon either of such agents; provided,
however, that any such copy shall be sent solely as a courtesy to Borrower and its failure to receive such copy shall in no way affect the validity and propriety of the service made on Borrower through such agent. Borrower waives any objection which
it may now or hereafter have to venue of any such action or proceeding and waives any right to seek removal of any action or proceeding commenced in accordance herewith. Borrower agrees that if it desires to make any change in its agents for
service, such change shall be subject to Administrative Agent’s written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
  
 11.23 USA PATRIOT ACT NOTICE. COMPLIANCE. The USA Patriot Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56) and federal regulations issued with respect
thereto require all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record certain information that identifies individuals or business entities which open an “account” with such financial institution. Consequently, Administrative Agent may
from time to time request, and Borrower shall provide to Administrative Agent, Borrower’s name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary for Administrative Agent or any Lender to
comply with federal law. An “account” for this purpose may include, without limitation, a deposit account, cash management service, a transaction or asset account, a credit account, a loan or other extension of credit, and/or other
financial services product. 
  
 11.24 INTEGRATION;
INTERPRETATION. The Loan Documents and Other Related Documents contain or expressly incorporate by reference the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the matters contemplated therein and supersede all prior negotiations or
agreements, written or oral, including without limitation any application, term sheet or commitment letter. The Loan Documents shall not be modified except by written instrument executed by all parties (except to the extent that this Agreement
provides that the same may be modified by less than all of the Lenders). Any reference to the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents includes any amendments, renewals or extensions now or hereafter approved by Administrative Agent (or, to the
extent this Agreement provides that the same require approval of the Requisite Lenders or all Lenders, by the Requisite Lenders or all Lenders (as applicable)) in writing. 
  

 75 








 11.25 JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. 
  
 (a) The liability of the parties identified as Borrower under this Agreement
shall be joint and several. 
  
 (b) If and to the extent that a
Borrower is or is deemed to be acting as a surety or guarantor for the other Borrower (as principal), each such Borrower that is or is deemed to be acting as a surety or guarantor for any other Borrower (as principal) hereby waives: (i) any defense
based upon any legal disability or other defense of the principal, any other guarantor or other person, or by reason of the cessation or limitation of the liability of any principal from any cause other than full payment of the Loan and other
obligations secured by the Loan Documents; (ii) any defense based upon any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners, members or agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any principal or any defect in the formation of any
principal; (iii) any defense based upon the application by any principal of the proceeds of the Loan for purposes other than the purposes represented by such principal to Administrative Agent or Lenders or intended or understood by Administrative
Agent or Lenders; (iv) any and all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Administrative Agent or Lenders, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed
obligation, has destroyed a surety’s or guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal; (v) any defense based upon Administrative Agent’s or Lenders’ failure to disclose to any surety or guarantor any
information concerning any principal’s financial condition or any other circumstances bearing on any principal’s ability to pay all sums payable under the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents; (vi) any defense based upon any statute or
rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety or guarantor must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more burdensome than that of a principal; (vii) any right to require Administrative Agent or Lenders to proceed
against a particular surety, guarantor or any other Person, to proceed against, apply or exhaust any security held in respect of such or any other Person for the Loan and other obligations secured by the Loan Documents owed by any Borrower
hereunder; (viii) any defense arising by reason of the invalidity, illegality or lack of enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or by reason of any limitation, postponement or prohibition on Lender’s right to payment or performance of the
Liabilities, or by reason of any act or omission by Lender or others which directly or indirectly results in the discharge or release of a Borrower or any other Person or any other obligations or any security therefor, whether by operation of law
otherwise; (ix) any defense arising by reason of Administrative Agent’s or Lenders’ failure to obtain, perfect or maintain a perfected or prior (or any) security interest in or lien upon any property of a Borrower or any other Person, or
by reason of any interest of Administrative Agent or Lenders in any property, whether as owner thereof or the holder of a security interest therein or lien or other Encumbrance thereon, being invalidated, voided, declared fraudulent or preferential
or otherwise set aside, or by reason of any impairment by Administrative Agent or Lenders or any of them of any right to recourse or collateral; (x) any right to require Administrative Agent or Lenders to marshall any assets in favor of a surety or
guarantor; (xi) any defense based upon any failure of Administrative Agent or Lenders to give any surety or guarantor notice of any sale or other disposition of or realization in respect of any property securing any or all of the Loan or any
guarantee thereof, or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any sale or other disposition of or realization in respect of any such property or any failure of Administrative Agent or Lenders to comply with any provision of
applicable law in enforcing any lien or security interest upon any such property, 

  

 76 








 
including any failure by Administrative Agent or Lenders to dispose of any such property in a commercially reasonable manner; (xii) any right of subrogation,
any right to enforce any remedy which Administrative Agent or Lenders may have against any principal and any right to participate in, or benefit from, any security for the Loans now or hereafter held by Administrative Agent or Lenders; (xiii)
presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind; and (xiv) any and all rights and defenses that a surety or guarantor may have because the principal’s debt is secured by real property; this means, among other things, that: (A)
Administrative Agent or Lenders may collect from a surety or guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any principal; (B) if Administrative Agent or Lenders foreclose on any real property collateral
pledged by a principal, then (1) the amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (2) Administrative Agent or Lenders may
collect from the surety or guarantor even if Administrative Agent or Lenders, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right such surety or guarantor may have to collect from any principal.
