transfers (it being acknowledged that with respect to any transfer contemplated by clause (c) above, no such notice shall be required
if (i) the transfer shall otherwise comply with the requirements of this Section 6.3 (ii) the transfer does not cause any Person
(or affiliated Persons) to own more than a ten (10%) interest in Borrower that did not previously own said interest); (B) no such
transfers shall result in a change in Control of Sponsor, Guarantor or Affiliated Manager; (C) after giving effect to such transfers,

any SPE Component Entity, such transfers shall be conditioned upon continued compliance with the relevant provisions of Article
5 hereof; (F) in the case of (1) the transfer of the management of the Property to a new Affiliated Manager in accordance with

Borrower or in any SPE Component Entity, such transfers shall be conditioned upon delivery to Lender of a New Non-Consolidation
Opinion addressing such transfer; (G) such transfers shall be conditioned upon Borrower’s ability to, after giving effect
to the equity transfer in question (I) remake the representations contained herein relating to ERISA matters (and, upon Lender’s
request, Borrower shall deliver to Lender an Officer’s Certificate containing such updated representations effective as of
the date of the consummation of the applicable equity transfer) and (II) continue to comply with the covenants contained herein

the terms hereof.”
