Mortgagee to confirm such lien; 
 TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Security, and each and every part thereof, unto the Mortgagee and its
successors and assigns, for the purposes and uses herein set forth. 
 UPON THE TERMS AND SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS which are
hereinafter set forth; 
 PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if Mortgagor pays or causes to be fully and irrevocably paid to Mortgagee all sums
secured by this Mortgage on the dates and in the manner provided in the Note and in this Mortgage, and observes and performs all of the terms, conditions and obligations contained in this Mortgage and the Note, then the estate, right, title and
interest of the Mortgagee in and to the Security shall cease, and upon proof being given to the satisfaction of the Mortgagee that the Indebtedness has been paid or satisfied according to the terms of the Note, and that all of Mortgagor’s
obligations under this Mortgage have been fully satisfied, and upon payment of all fees, costs, charges and liabilities chargeable to or incurred by the Mortgagee pursuant to the Note or otherwise provided for in this Mortgage, the Mortgagee shall,
on receipt of a written request therefore from Mortgagor, and at Mortgagor’s sole expense, (a) release and discharge the lien of this Mortgage, (b) deliver to Mortgagor the original Note, and (c) transfer and deliver to
Mortgagor, without warranty, any security which is then subject to the lien of this Mortgage and is in Mortgagee’s possession. 
 AND, Mortgagor hereby further covenants, agrees and warrants as follows: 
 1. Payment of Indebtedness. Mortgagor will
pay the principal indebtedness and interest thereon in accordance with the provisions of the Note and all prepayment fees, late charges and fees required thereunder, and all extensions, renewals, modifications, amendments and replacements thereof,
and will keep and perform all the covenants, promises and agreements, and pay all sums provided in (i) the Note or any other promissory note or notes at any time hereafter issued to evidence the Indebtedness, (ii) this Mortgage and
(iii) any and all other Loan Documents, all in the manner herein or therein set forth. If, at any time in the future transfers shall occur such that Mortgagor shall become more than one party, then each of the entities constituting a Mortgagor
shall be fully liable for such payment and performance, and such liability shall be joint and several, subject to all of the terms and provisions of Section 41 of this Mortgage. 
 2. Covenants of Title. Borrower has good and indefeasible fee simple title to the entire Land and the Air Rights, has absolute unencumbered title
to the Improvements, the Personal Property (other than the Leased Personalty) and the Personalty Leases, and has good right and full power to sell, mortgage and convey the same; the Security is free and clear of easements, restrictions, liens,
leases and encumbrances, except those easements, restrictions, liens, leases and encumbrances listed on Schedule B of the policy or policies of title insurance delivered to Mortgagee as of the recordation of this Mortgage (the “Permitted
Encumbrances”), 
  

 6 








 to which this Mortgage is expressly subject, or which may hereafter be created in accordance with the terms hereof; and
Borrower will warrant and defend title to the Security against all claims and demands whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances. Mortgagee shall have the right, at its option and at such time or times as it, in its sole discretion, shall deem
necessary, to take whatever action it may deem necessary to defend or uphold the lien of this Mortgage or otherwise enforce any of the rights of Mortgagee hereunder or any obligation secured hereby, including without limitation, the right to
institute appropriate legal proceedings for such purposes. 
 3. Usury. All agreements between Mortgagor and Mortgagee, whether now
existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of the Note or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received by Mortgagee
exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to Mortgagee in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to Mortgagee shall be reduced to the
maximum amount permitted under applicable law; and if from any circumstance Mortgagee shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall be
applied to the reduction of the principal of the Note and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Note such excess shall be promptly refunded to Mortgagor. All amounts paid or
agreed to be paid to Mortgagee for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Indebtedness, whether designated as interest herein or judicially or otherwise interpreted or deemed to be interest, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be
amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal (including the period of any renewal or extension of the Note) so that the interest on the Note for such full period shall not exceed the
maximum amount permitted by applicable law. The terms “maximum amount permissible under applicable law”, “the maximum lawful amount,” and similar terms refer to the law in effect on the date of the first disbursement of the Note;
provided that if it subsequently becomes lawful to charge more interest on the Note, then such terms shall refer to the maximum interest which may from time to time be lawfully charged. This paragraph shall control all agreements with respect to the
Loan between Mortgagor and Mortgagee. 
 4. Impositions. Mortgagor shall pay, or cause to be paid pursuant to the Management Agreement
(or any Replacement Agreement, as defined below), not later than the last day on which the same may be paid without penalty or interest, all real estate taxes and payments due in lieu of real estate taxes (collectively, the “Real Estate
Taxes”) (unless there shall be in full force and effect a Tax Escrow Agreement [defined in Section 5 hereinbelow] with respect to which Mortgagor shall have performed its obligations), and any municipal sewer rents, municipal water
charges, municipal electric and all other municipal and governmental assessments, rates, charges, or impositions which are secured by liens on the Real Property (including the Real Estate Taxes, collectively hereinafter referred to as
“Impositions”) which now or hereafter are imposed by law upon the Security, whether relating directly to the Security or to property adjoining or abutting the Security. If any Imposition is not paid within the time hereinabove specified,
Mortgagee shall have the right to pay the same, together with any penalty and interest thereon, and the amount or amounts so paid or advanced shall forthwith be payable by Mortgagor to Mortgagee and shall be secured by the lien of this Mortgage; but
Mortgagor 
  

 7 








 may in good faith contest, at Mortgagor’s sole cost and expense, by proper legal proceedings, the validity or amount
of any Imposition, on the condition that Mortgagor first shall deposit with or provide evidence to Mortgagee that Manager has escrowed an amount sufficient to pay such contested Imposition, as security for the payment of such contested item, an
amount equal to the contested item plus all penalties and interest which would be payable if Mortgagor is ultimately required to pay such contested item, and on the further condition that no amount so contested may remain unpaid for such length of
time as shall permit the Security, or the lien thereon created by the item being contested, to be sold for the nonpayment thereof, or as shall permit an action, either of foreclosure or otherwise, to be commenced by the holder of any such lien.
Mortgagor will not claim any credit on, or make any deduction from the Indebtedness by reason of the payment of, any Imposition. 
 Mortgagor
hereby assigns to Mortgagee all rights of Mortgagor now or hereafter arising in and to the refund of any Imposition and any interest thereon. If following receipt of any such refund by Mortgagee there exists no Event of Default hereunder, then
Mortgagee shall pay over the same to Mortgagor promptly; if there exists an Event of Default hereunder, Mortgagee may apply said refund in reduction of the Indebtedness in whatever order Mortgagee may elect. 
 5. Tax Deposits. Mortgagor and Mortgagee have entered into a certain Real Estate Tax Escrow and Security Agreement of even date herewith (the
“Tax Escrow Agreement”), the terms of which provide for the escrow and payments of money with respect to Real Estate Taxes imposed on the Real Property under certain circumstances as described therein. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 4 hereof, Mortgagor covenants to perform its obligations under the Tax Escrow Agreement and Mortgagee has agreed that Mortgagor may perform its obligations under this Mortgage with respect to the Real Estate Taxes in accordance with the
Tax Escrow Agreement. During any period that Mortgagor shall be in default under the Tax Escrow Agreement, or the Tax Escrow Agreement shall be terminated for any reason, or in the event that the Tax Escrow Agreement becomes ineffective or otherwise
unenforceable, then the balance of the terms and conditions of this Section 5 shall be applicable and control with respect to the payment of Real Estate Taxes imposed on the Real Property. 
 On receipt of the Activation Notice (as defined in the Tax Escrow Agreement), Mortgagor shall thereafter deposit with Mortgagee, or with an escrow agent
selected by Mortgagee, commencing on the Activation Date (as defined in the Tax Escrow Agreement) and on the first day of each calendar month thereafter (each of which dates is hereinafter called the “monthly tax deposit date”)
until the payment in full of the Indebtedness, a sum equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the Real Estate Taxes to be levied, charged, assessed or imposed upon or for the Security within one (1) year after said monthly tax deposit date. If on
any monthly tax deposit date the amount of Real Estate Taxes to be levied, charged, assessed or imposed within the ensuing one year period shall not be fixed, such amount for the purpose of computing the deposit to be made by Mortgagor hereunder,
shall be reasonably estimated by Mortgagee based upon prior payments of Real Estate Taxes imposed on the Real Property, with appropriate adjustment when such amount is fixed. 
 The sums deposited by Mortgagor under this Section 5 shall be held in an interest bearing account with interest being retained by Mortgagee and free
of trust except to the extent, 
  

 8 








 if any, that applicable law shall otherwise require and applied in payment of the Real Estate Taxes when due. Mortgagor
or Manager on behalf of Mortgagor shall give fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to Mortgagee in each instance when an Imposition is due, specifying the Imposition to be paid and the amount thereof, the place of payment and the last
day on which the same may be paid in order to be within the time limit specified in Section 4 hereof entitled “Impositions”. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing provision, so long as Mortgagor holds title to and controls the Security, Impositions are paid in full when due and there has occurred no Event of Default, or any state of facts which, with the passage of time
or giving of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default under the Loan Documents, the interest earned by such escrows, less reasonable escrow costs, will, at Mortgagor’s option, be (i) credited to Mortgagor against escrow
payments next becoming due, or (ii) paid to Mortgagor on each real estate tax payment date. 
 If for any reason the sums on deposit
with Mortgagee as escrow agent under this Section shall not be sufficient to pay any Real Estate Taxes within the time specified in Section 4 hereof, then Mortgagor shall, on the earlier of (A) three (3) Business Days prior to the
date the payment of such Impositions becomes delinquent or (B) within ten (10) Business Days after notice by Mortgagee, deposit sufficient sums so that Mortgagee may pay such Real Estate Taxes in full, together with any penalty and
interest thereon. Mortgagee may change its estimate of Real Estate Taxes for any period, on the basis of a change in an assessment or tax rate or on the basis of a prior miscalculation, in which event Mortgagor shall deposit with Mortgagee as escrow
agent within ten (10) Business Days after demand the amount of any excess of the deposits which would theretofore have been payable under the revised estimate over the sums actually deposited. 
 If any Real Estate Taxes shall be levied, charged, assessed or imposed upon or for the Security, or any portion thereof, and if such Real Estate Taxes
shall also be a levy, charge, assessment or imposition upon or for any other premises not covered by the lien of this Mortgage, then the computation of the amounts to be deposited under this Section 5 shall be based upon the entire amount of
such Real Estate Taxes and Mortgagor shall not have the right to apportion any deposit with respect to such Real Estate Taxes. 
 Upon an
assignment of this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall have the right to arrange to transfer all amounts deposited and still in its possession to the assignee and Mortgagee shall thereupon be completely released from all liability with respect to such deposit
and Mortgagor or owner of the Security shall look solely to the assignee or transferee in reference thereto. 
 Upon the payment in full by
Mortgagor of the entire Indebtedness, any sums then held by Mortgagee under this Section 5 shall be promptly refunded to Mortgagor. 
 All amounts deposited shall be held by Mortgagee as additional security for the sums secured by this Mortgage, and Mortgagor hereby grants to Mortgagee a security interest in such sums, and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
hereunder Mortgagee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, apply said amounts to the payment of the Indebtedness in whatever order Mortgagee may elect. 
  

 9 








 Immediately upon receipt of such by Mortgagor, Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee copies of all
notices, demands, claims, bills, and receipts in relation to the Impositions. 
 6. Change in Taxes. In the event any tax shall be due
or become due and payable to the United States of America, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or any political subdivision thereof with respect to the execution and delivery or recordation of this Mortgage or any other Loan Document or the interest
of Mortgagee in the Security except for taxes in the nature of income or franchise taxes, Mortgagor shall pay such tax at the time and in the manner required by applicable law and Mortgagor shall hold Mortgagee harmless and shall indemnify Mortgagee
against any liability of any nature whatsoever as a result of the imposition of any such tax. In the event of the enactment, after the date of this instrument, of any law changing in any way the present law as to the taxation of notes or debts
secured by mortgages, for Federal, State, or local purposes (except for changes in income or franchise taxes), or the manner of collection of any Impositions, so as to affect this Mortgage or the Note secured hereby, then Mortgagor shall upon demand
make such payments to Mortgagee and take such other steps, as may be necessary in Mortgagee’s reasonable judgment, to place Mortgagee in the same financial position as it was prior to any such enactment, failing which, or if the Mortgagor is
not permitted by law to make such payments, the Indebtedness shall, at the option of Mortgagee, immediately become due and payable at par. 
 7. Insurance. Borrower (to the extent of Mortgagor’s obligations set forth in this Section 7) and Operating Tenant (to the extent of its obligations under the Operating Lease) shall at all times until the Indebtedness shall
be paid in full, keep the Security insured against loss or damage in an amount sufficient to prevent Mortgagee or Mortgagor from becoming a co-insurer under the terms of the applicable policies, but in any event in an amount not less than 100% of
the then full replacement cost of the Improvements (exclusive of the cost of excavations, foundations and footings below the lowest basement floor) without deduction for physical depreciation (which replacement cost shall be reset once a year at
Mortgagee’s option in accordance with then customary insurance underwriting standards used by reasonable and prudent mortgage lenders for a property of comparable size, mass, construction, type, location, and use) under policies of All Risk
Replacement Cost Insurance (including nuclear explosion, if available), and otherwise upon the following terms and conditions: 
 (a) Mortgagor shall further provide the following insurance in such amounts as shall be reasonably approved by Mortgagee: flood insurance (if the Security is situated in an area that is considered a flood risk area by the federal government
agency thereof); boiler and machinery insurance; earthquake insurance; rent loss insurance in an amount sufficient to cover the total of all rents (including any expenses payable by tenants) accruing from the Security for a one year period; business
interruption and “Extra Expense” insurance (either as endorsements to policies satisfying commercial general liability insurance requirements as herein provided or on a separate policy) written on an “all risks” form on an
“Actual Loss Sustained” basis in an amount equal to at least one (1) year’s net income from the Property before income taxes plus continuing normal operating expenses, including Manager’s Fixed Management Fee and Incentive
Management Fee (as such terms are defined in the Management Agreement), and other fees and reimbursable expenses and other amounts payable to Manager under the 
  

 10 








 Management Agreement, that continue, notwithstanding the business interruption; the insurance shall also
provide “extended period of indemnity” for payment of loss until normal operations resume, but in any event for a period of not less than one hundred eighty (180) days after business operations have resumed; the insurance shall also
include an “ordinary payroll endorsement” for a minimum of ninety (90) days. The insurance shall also include the following: commercial general liability insurance in a minimum amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), and excess or
umbrella liability of at least One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000); comprehensive automobile liability in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence covering liability for bodily injury and property damage arising
out of the ownership, maintenance or use of all private passenger and commercial vehicles, including but not limited to owned, hired and non-owned autos and other equipment required to be licensed for road use; safe depository insurance in an amount
not less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) per occurrence; innkeeper’s legal liability insurance covering the property of hotel guests in an amount not less than One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) per guest and One Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($100,000) per occurrence; employment practices liability with minimum limits of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence or in such amounts as Manager or Mortgagee shall reasonably require; fiduciary liability (ERISA liability)
insurance with minimum limits of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) per occurrence or in such amounts as Manager or Mortgagee shall reasonably require; broad form umbrella/excess liability insurance, which shall cover defense costs on a “first
dollar” basis and shall provided coverage not less than “following form” in respect of all underlying coverages, in an amount not less than One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000) per occurrence, and such other appropriate
insurance as Mortgagee may require from time to time. 
 (b) Such insurance shall contain no exclusion for acts of terrorism
and shall include: (i) coverage for acts of domestic and international terrorism, (ii) coverage whether or not a specific act is certified under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 as an act of terrorism by the U.S. Secretary of the
Treasury, and (iii) coverage amounts, deductibles and limits/sublimits acceptable to Mortgagee in its sole discretion. 
 (c) During any period of restoration, Mortgagor shall provide a policy or policies of builder’s “all risk” insurance in an amount not less than the full insurable value of the Security. 
 (d) Mortgagor will assign and deliver to Mortgagee an original certificate of the policy or policies of all insurance required to be
provided hereunder and provide copies of the policy or policies described therein to Mortgagee unless Mortgagor participates in Manager’s insurance program, in which event Mortgagor shall provide a copy of the description of coverages provided
by Manager to Mortgagor. Each policy of insurance provided by Mortgagor shall (i) be issued by a company or companies approved by Mortgagee and rated not less than a Best’s rating of A-/X, (ii) name Mortgagee as an additional insured
or loss payee, as the case may be, (iii) provide that all proceeds shall be payable to Mortgagee, (iv) provide that it may not be cancelled or modified except upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Mortgagee, (v) provide
that no act or thing done by Mortgagor shall invalidate the policy as against Mortgagee, 
  

 11 








 (vi) be endorsed with standard noncontributory mortgagee clauses in favor of and in form acceptable
to Mortgagee, and (vii) otherwise be in such form as shall be reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee, so that at all times until the payment in full of the Indebtedness, Mortgagee shall have and hold the said policy and policies as further
collateral for the payment of all Indebtedness. 
 (e) If Mortgagor shall fail to obtain any such policy or policies required
by Mortgagee, or shall fail to deliver an original certificate evidencing the same to Mortgagee, then Mortgagee may obtain such insurance and pay the premium or premiums therefore, in which event Mortgagor shall, on demand of Mortgagee, repay such
premium or premiums to Mortgagee and such repayment shall be secured by the lien of this Mortgage. If Mortgagor fails to maintain the level of insurance required under this Mortgage, then Mortgagor shall indemnify Mortgagee to the extent that a
casualty occurs and insurance proceeds would have been available had such insurance been maintained. 
 (f) Mortgagor shall
promptly provide to Mortgagee copies of any and all notices (including notice of non renewal), claims, and demands which Mortgagor receives from insurers of the Security. 
 (g) Effective from and after any Event of Default, Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee all rights of Mortgagor in and to any unearned
premiums on any insurance policy required to be furnished by Mortgagor. 
 Anything in this Section 7 to the contrary notwithstanding, as long as
(i) Manager is managing the Real Property and Mortgagor participates in Manager’s insurance programs, (ii) there then exists no default under the Management Agreement or Event of Default hereunder, (iii) Manager is making all
required insurance payments as and when due pursuant to the Management Agreement, and (iv) Mortgagor provides to Mortgagee acceptable evidence that such insurance is, at all times, in full force and effect as regards the Real Property, then
Mortgagee acknowledges and agrees that the insurance requirements set forth in the Management Agreement shall govern and control over any inconsistent provisions set forth in the provisions of this Section 7. 
 8. Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds. Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee all insurance proceeds or Condemnation (defined in Section 9 below)
awards which Mortgagor may be entitled to receive for loss or damage to, or a taking of, the Security. In the event of loss or damage to, or a taking of, the Security, the proceeds of said insurance or Condemnation award shall be payable to
Mortgagee alone and Mortgagor hereby authorizes and directs any affected insurance company or government agency to make payment of the insurance proceeds or Condemnation awards directly to Mortgagee. In the event that any such insurance proceeds or
Condemnation awards are paid directly to Mortgagor, Mortgagor shall make such proceeds or awards available to Mortgagee within five (5) Business Days of Mortgagor’s receipt thereof. No such loss or damage shall itself reduce the
Indebtedness unless Mortgagee elects to apply the proceeds and such proceeds are actually applied to the Indebtedness as provided in Section 10 below. Prior to an Event of Default, Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall jointly and reasonably agree on
the prompt adjustment and compromise of such loss, to collect and receive such proceeds or awards and to endorse any check in payment thereof. During an Event of Default, or 
  

 12 








 in the event of a loss or damage to, or a taking of, the security in excess of $1,500,000, Mortgagee is authorized to
adjust and compromise such loss without the consent of Mortgagor, to collect and receive such proceeds or awards in the name of Mortgagee and Mortgagor and to endorse Mortgagor’s name upon any check in payment thereof. Furthermore, if an
insurance claim is no greater than $250,000 (a “Minor Claim”), Mortgagee agrees that insurance proceeds may be made available directly to the Mortgagor provided that no Event of Default is then in existence and so long as Mortgagor
promptly commences and diligently pursues to completion any required restoration Work utilizing such insurance proceeds. Subject to the provisions of Sections 9, 10 and 11 hereof, such proceeds or awards shall be applied first toward reimbursement
of all costs and expenses of Mortgagee in collecting said proceeds or awards, then toward payment of the Indebtedness or any portion thereof, whether or not then due and payable, in whatever order Mortgagee may elect, or Mortgagee may, at its
option, make said insurance proceeds or Condemnation awards available to Mortgagor in whole or in part toward restoration of the Security for which such insurance proceeds or Condemnation awards shall have been paid. 
 In the event of foreclosure of this Mortgage or other transfer of title to the Security and extinguishment, in whole or in part, of the Indebtedness, all
right, title, and interest of Mortgagor in and to any insurance policy, or premiums or payments in satisfaction of claims or any other rights thereunder then in force, shall pass to the purchaser or grantee notwithstanding the amount of any bid at
such foreclosure sale. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the accrual of interest as provided in the Note on any portion of the principal balance due under the Note until such time as the insurance proceeds or Condemnation awards are actually
received and applied to reduce the principal balance outstanding. 
 9. Restoration Following Fire and Other Casualty or Condemnation.
In the event of damage to the Security by reason of fire or other hazard or casualty, Mortgagor shall give prompt written notice thereof to Mortgagee, and, so long as Mortgagee provides its consent that any insurance proceeds can be made available
as provided in Section 10 hereof, shall proceed with reasonable diligence to perform repair, replacement and/or rebuilding work (hereinafter referred to as the “Work”) to restore the Security to its condition prior to such damage in
full compliance with all legal requirements; provided, however, in the event that Mortgagee does not provide its consent that any insurance proceeds can be made available, nothing contained herein shall prevent Mortgagor from using other funds to
perform the Work in Mortgagor’s sole discretion. In the event of a taking by power of eminent domain or conveyance in lieu thereof (a “Condemnation”), if restoration is feasible as reasonably determined by Mortgagee, then Mortgagor
shall proceed with reasonable diligence to perform such restoration (also referred to herein as the “Work”). Before commencing the Work, Mortgagor shall comply with the following requirements: 
 (a) With respect to any Work reasonably expected to exceed One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) in cost (“Major
Work”), Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee complete plans and specifications for the Work, for Mortgagee’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Said plans and specifications shall bear the signed approval thereof
by an architect reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee and shall be accompanied by the architect’s signed estimate, bearing the architect’s seal, of the entire cost of completing the Work, and shall provide that upon completion of the Work,
the Security shall be at least equal in value and general utility to its value and general utility prior to the damage or Condemnation. 
  

 13 








 (b) Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee certified copies of all permits and approvals
required by law in connection with the commencement and conduct of the Work. 
 (c) With respect to any Major Work, Mortgagor
shall furnish to Mortgagee, prior to the commencement of the Work, a surety bond for or guaranty of timely completion of and payment for the Work, which bond or guaranty shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee and shall be signed by a
surety or sureties, or guarantor or guarantors, as the case may be, who are reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee, and in an amount not less than the architect’s estimate of the entire cost of completing the Work, less the amount of insurance
proceeds or Condemnation award, if any, then held by Mortgagee and which Mortgagee shall have elected or shall be required to apply toward restoration of the Security as provided in Section 10 hereof. 
 Mortgagor shall not commence any of the Work until Mortgagor shall have complied with the above requirements, and thereafter Mortgagor shall perform the
Work diligently and in good faith in accordance with the plans and specifications referred to in subsection (a) above. 
 If, as
provided in Section 10 hereof, Mortgagee shall have elected or is required to apply any insurance proceeds or Condemnation awards toward repair or restoration of the Security, then so long as the Work is being diligently performed by Mortgagor
in accordance with the provisions of this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall disburse such insurance proceeds or Condemnation awards to Mortgagor from time to time during the course of the Work in accordance with the following provisions: 
 A. The Work shall be in the charge of an experienced construction manager reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee with the consultation of an
architect or engineer if the scope of the work so requires (provided, the project property manager shall be acceptable so long as it does not constitute Major Work); 
 B. Each request for payment shall not be made more often than at thirty (30) day intervals, on ten (10) Business Days (as
defined in Section 59 hereinbelow) prior notice to Mortgagee, and shall be accompanied by a certificate reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee, of the architect or engineer, dated not more than ten (10) days prior to the application for
withdrawal of funds, stating: 
  

	 	(i)	that all of the Work for which payment is being requested is in place and has been completed in compliance with the approved plans and specifications and all applicable legal
requirements; 

  

	 	(ii)	that the sum then requested to be withdrawn has been paid by Mortgagor and/or is justly due to contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, engineers, architects or other persons
(whose names and addresses shall be stated) who have rendered or furnished 

  

 14 








 certain services or materials for the Work and giving a brief description of such services and materials
and the principal subdivisions or categories thereof and the respective amounts so paid or due to each of said persons in respect thereof and stating the progress of the Work up to the date of said certificate; 
  

	 	(iii)	that the sum requested to be withdrawn, plus all sums previously withdrawn, does not exceed the cost of the Work insofar as actually accomplished up to the date of such certificate;


  

	 	(iv)	that the remainder of the moneys held by Mortgagee will be sufficient to pay in full for the completion of the Work; and 

  

	 	(v)	that no part of the cost of the services and materials described in the foregoing paragraph (ii) of this Clause B has been or is being made the basis of the withdrawal of any
funds in any previous or then pending application. 

 Mortgagor shall also provide Mortgagee with respect to any
Major Work such other evidence as Mortgagee shall reasonably require that: (1) all of the Work for which payment is being requested is in place and has been completed in substantial compliance with all applicable legal requirements;
(2) that the sum then requested to be withdrawn, plus all sums previously withdrawn, does not exceed the cost of the Work insofar as actually accomplished up to the date of such certificate; (3) that the remainder of the moneys held by
Mortgagee will be sufficient to pay in full for the completion of the Work; (4) that the Work is anticipated to be completed consistent with all requirements, including applicable zoning provisions, pertinent to preserve any and all rights,
including, without limitation, with respect to any non-conforming use; and (5) that, except for the amounts, if any, specified in the foregoing paragraph (ii) of this Clause B to be due for services or materials, there is no outstanding
indebtedness known, after due inquiry, which is then due and payable for work, labor, services or materials in connection with the Work which, if unpaid, might become the basis of a vendor’s, mechanic’s, laborer’s or
materialmen’s statutory or other similar lien upon the Security or any part thereof. 
 C. Mortgagor shall deliver to
Mortgagee reasonably satisfactory evidence that the Security and every part thereof, and all materials and all property described in the certificate furnished pursuant to the foregoing Clause B, are free and clear of all mortgages, liens, charges or
encumbrances, except (a) encumbrances, if any, securing indebtedness due to persons (whose names and addresses and the several amounts due them shall be stated) specified in said certificate furnished pursuant to the foregoing Clause B, which
encumbrances will be discharged upon disbursement of the funds then being requested, and (b) this Mortgage. Mortgagee shall accept as satisfactory evidence under this Clause C a certificate of a title insurance company acceptable to Mortgagee
or an endorsement to Mortgagee’s existing loan title policy insuring the lien of this Mortgage, dated as of the date of the making of the disbursement, confirming the foregoing. 
  

 15 








 D. If the Work affects the foundation, or changes in the footprint of the Improvements,
Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee a survey of the Security dated as of a date within ten (10) days prior to the making of the advance (or revised to a date within ten days prior to the advance) showing no encroachments other than those, if
any, acceptable to Mortgagee. 
 E. There exists no Event of Default, or any state of facts existing which, with the passage
of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default. 
 Mortgagee at its option may waive any of the foregoing
requirements. 
 Upon compliance by Mortgagor with the foregoing Clauses A, B, C, D, and E (except for such requirements, if any, as
Mortgagee at its option may have waived), Mortgagor shall, to the extent of the insurance proceeds or Condemnation awards, if any, which Mortgagee shall have elected or shall be required to apply to restoration of the Security, pay or cause to be
paid to the persons named in the certificate furnished pursuant to the foregoing Clause B, the respective amounts stated in said certificate to be due them, less ten percent (10%) retainage (“Retainage”), and Mortgagee shall
pay to Mortgagor the amounts stated in said certificate to have been paid by Mortgagor, less Retainage. 
 If upon completion of the Work
there shall be insurance proceeds or Condemnation awards held by Mortgagee over and above the amounts withdrawn pursuant to the foregoing provisions, plus Retainage, then Mortgagee, at Mortgagee’s option, may either retain such proceeds or
awards and apply the same in reduction of the Indebtedness in whatever order Mortgagee may elect (without payment of any prepayment fee or premium with respect to such insurance proceeds or Condemnation awards), or Mortgagee may pay over such
proceeds or awards to Mortgagor. 
 Upon completion of the Work, in addition to the requirements of the foregoing Clauses A, B, C, D, and E,
Mortgagor shall promptly deliver to Mortgagee: 
  

	 	(1)	With respect to Major Work, a written certificate of the construction manager, architect or engineer that the Work has been fully completed in a good and workmanlike manner in
accordance with the approved plans and specifications and with respect to any other Work, a certificate from Mortgagor or its property manager to the same effect; 

  

	 	(2)	A written report and policy of a title insurance company reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee insuring the Security against mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens;


  

	 	(3)	A certificate by Mortgagor reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee in form and substance, listing all costs and expenses in connection with the completion of the Work and the amount
paid by Mortgagor with respect to the Work; and 

  

	 	(4)	A temporary certificate of occupancy, if required for occupancy of any of the Improvements affected by the Work and all other applicable 

  

 16 








 certificates, licenses, consents and approvals issued by governmental agencies or authorities with
respect to the Security and by the appropriate Board of Fire Underwriters or other similar bodies acting in and for the locality in which the Security is situated, provided that within thirty (30) days after completion of the Work, Mortgagor
shall obtain and deliver to Mortgagee a permanent certificate of occupancy for the Security, if a certificate of occupancy is required for any of the Improvements affected by the Work. 
 Upon receipt of the foregoing items, Mortgagee shall pay any Retainage held by Mortgagee to or for the benefit of Mortgagor. 
 10. Disposition of Condemnation or Insurance Proceeds. Except in the case of a Minor Claim, Mortgagee, in its absolute discretion, may decide
whether and to what extent, if any, proceeds of insurance or Condemnation awards will be made available to Mortgagor for repair or restoration of the Security, but Mortgagor shall effect such repair or restoration as provided above whether or not
Mortgagee agrees that any available insurance proceeds and Condemnation awards may be made available for restoration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagee shall make insurance proceeds or Condemnation awards available to Mortgagor for repair or
restoration provided the following conditions are satisfied: 
 (a) Not more than thirty percent (30%) of the Real
Property is damaged, and, in the case of a Condemnation, the portion remaining after the taking is still economically viable in the reasonable opinion of Mortgagee; 
 (b) There has been no monetary Event of Default in the prior twelve (12) months and there does not then exist an Event of Default or
a state of facts which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default hereunder or under any other Loan Document; 
 (c) Mortgagor can demonstrate to Mortgagee’s reasonable satisfaction that Mortgagor has the financial ability to make all scheduled
payments when due under the Loan Documents during reconstruction, whether from the proceeds of rent and/or business interruption insurance, operation of the Improvements, Mortgagor’s own funds or otherwise; 
 (d) Such damage or destruction occurs prior to the last two (2) Loan Years (as such term is defined in the Note); 
 (e) The funds are released under escrow/construction funding arrangements specified in Section 9 hereof; 
 (f) The repairs and restoration will restore the Improvements to substantially the size, design and utility as existed immediately prior
to the casualty or Condemnation; and 
  

 17 








 (g) Mortgagor can demonstrate to Mortgagee’s reasonable satisfaction that Mortgagor
has the financial ability to complete the repair and restoration, whether from the proceeds of insurance, Mortgagor’s own funds, or otherwise. 
 Provided that there then exists no Event of Default, any application of insurance or Condemnation proceeds required by Mortgagee shall be at par without payment of any prepayment fee or premium. If Mortgagee has the right under this
Mortgage and elects not to make the proceeds available for the Work, then such proceeds shall be applied to reduce the Indebtedness in whatever order Mortgagee may elect. Any principal reduction resulting from an early involuntary prepayment as a
result of a Condemnation proceeding or insurance settlement will cause a re-calculation of debt service payments based upon the reduced Loan balance, the remaining amortization schedule and the Interest Rate. 
 11. Fire and Other Casualty; Self-Help. If within one hundred twenty (120) days after the occurrence of any damage to the Security or the
condemnation of any portion of the Security, Mortgagor shall not have submitted to Mortgagee and received Mortgagee’s approval of plans and specifications for any Major Work or shall not have obtained approval of such plans and specifications
from all governmental authorities whose approval is required for such Work, or if Mortgagor shall fail to promptly commence such Work, or if thereafter Mortgagor fails to perform the Work diligently or is delinquent in the payment to mechanics,
materialmen or others of the costs incurred in connection with the Work, or, if Mortgagor shall fail to complete the Work promptly, then, in addition to all other rights herein set forth, Mortgagee may give written notice thereof to Mortgagor and if
such failure is not cured within ten (10) Business Days of such written notice, then Mortgagee, or any lawfully appointed receiver of the Security, may at its respective option, perform or cause the Work to be performed, and may take such other
steps as it deems advisable to perform or cause to be performed the Work, and may enter upon the Security for any of the foregoing purposes, and Mortgagor hereby waives, for Mortgagor and all others holding under Mortgagor, any claim against
Mortgagee or such receiver arising out of anything done by Mortgagee or such receiver pursuant to this Section 11, and Mortgagee may apply insurance and/or Condemnation proceeds (without the need to fulfill the requirements of Section 9
hereof) to reimburse Mortgagee, and/or such receiver for all amounts expended or incurred by them, respectively, in connection with the performance of the Work, and any excess costs shall be paid by Mortgagor to Mortgagee upon demand, with interest
at the Default Rate (hereinafter defined), and such payment shall be secured by the lien of this Mortgage. 
 12. Rent Insurance
Proceeds. If Mortgagor shall promptly commence and diligently perform the Work in accordance with the requirements of Section 11 hereinabove and there shall be no Event of Default under the Loan Documents, then Mortgagee shall each month
pay to Mortgagor out of the rent and/or business interruption insurance proceeds held by Mortgagee a sum equal to that amount, if any, of the rent and/or business interruption insurance proceeds paid by the insurer which is allocable to the Income
Loss (as defined below) for the preceding month and any earlier period of time. Mortgagee , at its option, may waive any of the foregoing conditions to the payment of rent and/or business interruption insurance proceeds. If Mortgagor does not
fulfill the foregoing conditions entitling Mortgagor to monthly disbursements of rent and/or business interruption insurance proceeds, then such rent and/or business interruption insurance proceeds may be applied by Mortgagee, at Mortgagee’s
option, to the payment of the Indebtedness in whatever order Mortgagee may elect. As used in this Section 12, “Income Loss” 
  

 18 








 shall mean (i) loss of base rent, minimum rent, percentage rent, additional rent and all other sums that tenants may
owe to Mortgagor as landlord under space leases affecting the Real Property, as applicable (ii) the loss of Gross Revenues (as defined in the Management Agreement, but excluding the rent related items previously listed), and (iii) all
other sums owed to Mortgagor in connection with the Improvements or Land. 
 13. Repair; Alterations; Waste; Environmental. Mortgagor
shall keep all of the Security in good and substantial repair subject to normal wear and tear, and expressly agrees that it will neither permit nor commit any waste upon the Security, nor do any other act or suffer or permit any act to be done,
whereby the Security will become less valuable or the lien hereof may be impaired and shall comply in all material respects with all zoning laws (including, without limitation, preservation of any rights as to any non-conforming use), building
codes, subdivision laws, environmental laws, and other laws, ordinances, rules and regulations made or promulgated by any government or municipality, or by any agency thereof or by any other lawful authority, which are now or may hereafter become
applicable to the Security; provided that nothing herein shall preclude Mortgagor from contesting any matter in good faith through appropriate legal means diligently pursued so long as Mortgagor shall repair or restore any building now or hereafter
under construction on the Security and complete the same within a reasonable period of time. Mortgagor agrees not to initiate or acquiesce in any zoning variance or reclassification, without Mortgagee’s prior written consent, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed so long as it does not impair the value of the Security. Mortgagor shall not construct any additional building or buildings or make any other improvements on the Land, nor alter, remove or
demolish any building or other Improvements on the Land, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee. 
 Mortgagor shall comply with the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, including, without limitation, any regulations, rulings and orders promulgated pursuant thereto in connection with any Work, any repair to the Security or any tenant improvements to be performed
by Mortgagor. 
 If Mortgagor fails to observe any of the provisions of this Section, or suffers or permits any Event of Default to exist
under this Section, Mortgagee or a lawfully appointed receiver of the Security at its option, from time to time, may perform, or cause to be performed, any and all repairs and such other work as it deems necessary to bring the Security into
compliance with the provisions of this Section and may enter upon the Security for any of the foregoing purposes, and Mortgagor hereby waives any claim against Mortgagee and/or such receiver, arising out of such entry or out of any other act carried
out pursuant to this Section. Mortgagor shall upon notice repay to Mortgagee and such receiver, with interest at the Default Rate, all amounts expended or incurred by them, respectively, in connection with any action taken pursuant to this Section,
and such repayment shall be secured by the lien of this Mortgage. 
 Mortgagor represents and warrants that there are currently at least the
number of paved and designated parking spaces (including adequate, properly-sized, delineated and assigned handicap parking spaces) available on of the Real Property as are shown on the survey delivered to Mortgagee. Mortgagor covenants and agrees
that throughout the Term (as defined in Section 1 of the Note) it shall continue to make available, sufficient parking spaces on the Real Property to comply with all leases, all applicable government regulations, the Easement Agreements and, to
the extent applicable, the License Agreement (as hereinafter defined).

 14. Environmental Indemnification. Reference is made to that certain Environmental Indemnification
Agreement of even date herewith executed by Mortgagor and Highland Hospitality, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (collectively, the “Indemnitors”) (the “Environmental Indemnification Agreement”), and by this reference is
incorporated herein in its entirety and made a part hereof. This Mortgage also secures the performance of all obligations due to Mortgagee by Indemnitors under the Environmental Indemnification Agreement. A release of this Mortgage shall not be
construed as or be deemed to constitute a termination of the Environmental Indemnification Agreement, which instead shall continue in existence and terminate by its own terms. 
 15. Independence of Security. Mortgagor shall not by act or omission permit any building or other improvement on any premises not subject to the
lien of this Mortgage to rely on the Security or any part thereof or any interest therein to fulfill any municipal or governmental requirement, and Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee any and all rights to give consent for all or any portion of
the Security or any interest therein to be so used. Similarly, no part of the Security shall rely on any premises not subject to the lien of this Mortgage or any interest therein to fulfill any governmental or municipal requirement. Mortgagor shall
not by act or omission impair the integrity of the Real Property as one or more complete subdivided parcels of land bearing the same zoning classification, and as one or more complete tax parcels separate and apart from all other premises. Any act
or omission by Mortgagor, which would result in a violation of any of the provisions of this Section, shall be void. 
 16. No Other
Liens. Mortgagor shall not consent, agree to, or permit any mortgage lien, or security interest upon or affecting the Security or any part thereof except (a) as granted or permitted in this Mortgage and any other lien or security interest
granted to Mortgagee and (b) under any Personalty Leases (to the extent they are deemed to constitute financing agreements), subject to Mortgagor’s right to contest involuntary liens as hereinafter provided. 
 Mortgagor will promptly pay and discharge any and all amounts which are now or hereafter become liens against the Security whether or not superior to the
lien hereof or to any assignment of rents and leases given to Mortgagee; provided, however, in the case of an involuntary lien Mortgagor may in good faith contest, at Mortgagor’s sole cost and expense, by proper legal proceedings, the validity
or amount of any involuntary lien, on the condition that if such involuntary lien exceeds $100,000, Mortgagor first shall deposit with Mortgagee, as security for the payment of such contested item, an amount equal to the contested item plus all
penalties and interest which would be payable if Mortgagor is ultimately required to pay such contested item, and on the further condition that no amount so contested may remain unpaid for such length of time as shall permit the Security, or the
lien thereon created by the item being contested, to be sold for the nonpayment thereof, or as shall permit an action, either of foreclosure or otherwise, to be commenced by the holder of any such lien. Mortgagor will not claim any credit on, or
make any deduction from the Indebtedness by reason of the payment of, any lien. 
  

 20 








 The covenants of this Section shall survive any foreclosure and sale of the Security and any conveyance
thereof by deed in lieu of foreclosure with respect to any such liens in existence as of the date of transfer of title. 
 17. Management.

 (a) During the term of the Loan, Mortgagor shall at all times retain a professional management company satisfactory to
Mortgagee to operate and manage the Security pursuant to a management agreement reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee. If the Management Agreement is terminated for any reason during the term of the Loan, Mortgagee will have the right to declare the
entire indebtedness immediately due and payable unless Mortgagor enters into a replacement management agreement (the “Replacement Agreement”) on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee with a substitute manager reasonably
acceptable to Mortgagee within thirty (30) days following termination of the Management Agreement. As a condition to Mortgagee’s approval of any replacement manager, the manager shall consent to an assignment of management agreement
substantially similar in form and substance as to the Agreement Regarding Hotel Management Agreement (the “Assignment of Management Agreement”) dated of even date herewith by and among Mortgagor, Manager and Mortgagee. Pursuant to the
Assignment of Management Agreement, the rights of Manager, as manager, under the Management Agreement are expressly made subordinate to Mortgagee’s rights under this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, all as more particularly set forth in
the Assignment of Management Agreement. 
 (b) Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee, within five (5) Business Days after
receipt thereof, or after the mailing or service thereof by Mortgagor, as the case may be, a copy of each notice of default Mortgagor gives to, or receives from any person, based upon the occurrence, or alleged occurrence, of any default or defaults
in the performance of any covenant, condition, promise or obligation under the Management Agreement. 
 18. [Omitted] 
 19. Sidewalks, Municipal Charges. Mortgagor will promptly pay and discharge any and all license fees and similar charges, with penalties and
interest thereon, which may be imposed by the municipality in which the Security is situated, for the use of vaults, chutes, areas and other space beyond the lot line and under or abutting the public sidewalks in front of or adjoining the Security,
and Mortgagor will promptly cure any violation of law and comply with any order of such municipality respecting the repair, replacement or condition of the sidewalk or curb in front of or adjoining the Security, and in default thereof Mortgagee may,
upon five (5) Business Days’ notice to Mortgagor, pay any and all such license fees or similar charges, with penalties and interest thereon, and the charges of the municipality for such repair or replacement, and any amount so paid or
advanced by Mortgagee and all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (including, without limitation, Attorneys’ Fees (defined in Section 42 hereinbelow)), with interest thereon at the Default Rate, shall be a demand obligation
of Mortgagor to Mortgagee, and, to the extent permitted by law, shall be added to the Indebtedness and shall be secured by the lien of this Mortgage. 
  

 21 








 20. Assignment of Rents and Leases. Mortgagor hereby presently, irrevocably, absolutely, and
unconditionally grants, transfers, assigns and sets over unto Mortgagee all of its right, title and interest in and to all present and future leases, license agreements, concession agreements, lease termination agreements and other occupancy
agreements of any nature, oral or written, of the Land and of space in the Improvements together with all modifications, supplements, extensions, renewals and replacements thereof now existing or hereafter made, and also together with the rights to
sue for, collect and receive all present and future rents, prepaid rents, additional rents, royalties, security deposits, parking revenues, receipts, refunds, rebates, damages payable upon default by tenant, or other sums in any of said leases
provided to the lessor thereunder, profits, income (including revenues from the letting of hotel rooms), license fees, concession fees, lease termination fees, lease modification and extension fees and issues of the Security, including all proceeds
thereof (collectively, the “Rents”), to be applied by Mortgagee in payment of the Indebtedness, and also together with any and all guaranties of the obligations of the tenants thereunder and the rights of Mortgagor to receive, hold and
apply all bonds and security in all of said leases provided to be furnished to the lessor thereunder, and also together with the rights of Mortgagor to enforce any and all of the agreements, terms, covenants and conditions in all of said leases
provided and to give notices thereunder. Mortgagee grants to Mortgagor a revocable license to collect the Rents as they become due and to enforce such leases and agreements, so long as no Event of Default exists hereunder. Mortgagee may receive and
collect the Rents personally or through a receiver upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default so long as any such Event of Default shall exist and during the pendency of any foreclosure proceeding and during any redemption
period. Mortgagor agrees to consent to a receiver if this is believed reasonably necessary or desirable by Mortgagee to enforce its rights under this Section. 
 Mortgagor shall not otherwise assign or pledge, or contract, expressly or by implication, to assign or pledge, any lease of the Land or space in the Improvements or the rights to sue for, collect and receive any
Rents, or the rights to receive, hold and apply any bonds and security in any of said leases provided to be furnished to the lessor thereunder, or the rights to enforce any of the agreements, terms, covenants or conditions of said leases or to give
notices thereunder, unless in each instance the written consent thereto of Mortgagee be first obtained. 
 Nothing in this Mortgage shall be
construed to obligate Mortgagee, expressly or by implication, to perform any of the covenants of Mortgagor as lessor under any of the leases hereinabove assigned or to pay any sum of money or damages therein provided to be paid by the lessor.

 If Mortgagee shall from time to time suffer or permit Mortgagor to sue for, collect or receive any Rents, or to receive, hold or apply any
bonds or security under said leases, or to enforce any of the agreements, terms, covenants or conditions thereunder or to give notices thereunder, neither such sufferance nor permission shall constitute a waiver or relinquishment by Mortgagee of the
rights hereunder and hereby assigned to Mortgagee with respect to any subsequent Rents, or with respect to any subsequent receipt, holding or application of bonds or security or any subsequent enforcement of such agreements, terms, covenants or
conditions or any subsequent notices. 
  

 22 








 21. Future Leases. Mortgagor will not hereafter make any lease to any tenant, or materially amend,
modify, terminate, renew or extend any lease (other than a renewal to which a tenant is entitled under the terms of an existing lease or contained in a lease that is subsequently approved by Mortgagee), affecting more than 2,500 rentable square feet
within the Improvements (a “Material Lease”), including without limitation the Operating Lease (other than minor non-material amendments or modifications which do not materially and adversely impact Mortgagee’s rights in the
Security), unless Mortgagee shall first consent in writing to the form and substance of said Material Lease or amendment, modification, renewal or extension thereof, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. For
purposes of this Section, reductions in rent, shortening of the term of a lease, increases in Mortgagor’s obligations under a lease and any release of a significant tenant obligation under a lease shall be deemed “material.”

 Other than the leases in effect on the date hereof (“Existing Leases”) as disclosed to and approved by Mortgagee, all
leases must be subordinate to the lien of this Mortgage unless Mortgagee otherwise specifies. Other than the Existing Leases, each lease must contain a provision that, upon notice to tenant by Mortgagee, the lease shall become superior, in whole or
in part, to the lien of this Mortgage. Without limiting the foregoing, Mortgagee hereby reserves the right to subordinate this Mortgage to any lease subsequently made by recording with the Suffolk County Registry of Deeds, Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, in which this Mortgage is recorded, a declaration to that effect, executed by Mortgagee, which declaration once so recorded shall be binding upon the tenant under such lease and such tenant’s successors and assigns. 

Mortgagor will furnish to Mortgagee a true and complete copy of each Material Lease, or any amendment, modification, extension, or renewal of a
Material Lease hereafter made by Mortgagor with respect to space in the Security, within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of each such lease, amendment, modification, extension, or renewal by the parties thereto. Mortgagor shall also
furnish to Mortgagee an original mortgagee subordination and attornment agreement executed by each tenant under a Material Lease and an original estoppel, addressed to Mortgagee, from each tenant under a Material Lease in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee. 
 Mortgagor will from time to time upon demand of Mortgagee, confirm in writing the assignment to
Mortgagee of any or all leases of the Land and space in the Improvements, and such written confirmation shall be in such form as Mortgagee shall reasonably require and as shall be necessary to make the same recordable. 
 22. [Omitted] 
 23. Operating
Agreement/Easement Agreements. Mortgagor hereby represents and warrants to Mortgagee that there exist no agreements affecting the development or operation of the Security, other than the Leases, the Management Agreement, that certain Hilton
Boston Back Bay Franchise License Agreement dated October 24, 2005 (the “License Agreement”), between Hilton Inns, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as Licensor, and Operating Tenant, as Licensee, service contracts and Personalty Leases
entered into in the ordinary course of the operation of the Security and the covenants and restrictions included in the Permitted Encumbrances (collectively, the “Operating Agreements”). Mortgagor shall, at Mortgagor’s cost and
expense, 
  

 23 








 promptly and fully perform each and every covenant, condition, promise and obligation of the owner of the Security under
the Operating Agreements and shall make all payments therein and thereby required to be made by the owner of the Security. Mortgagor shall not cancel, transfer, amend in any material respect, or assign the Operating Agreements without the prior
written consent of Mortgagee which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and Mortgagor shall not consent to the cancellation, transfer, amendment in any material respect, or assignment of the Operating Agreements by any
other party thereto, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 
 24. Events of Default. Each of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder and shall entitle the Mortgagee to exercise its remedies hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents or as otherwise
provided by law: 
 (a) Any payment of any installment of principal or interest under the Note is not received by Mortgagee by
5:00 p.m. (Hartford, Connecticut time) within five (5) Business Days following the date when such payment was due or any escrow payment under the Tax Escrow Agreement or Section 5 hereof is not received by escrow holder or Mortgagee, as
applicable, by 5:00 p.m. (Hartford, Connecticut time) within five (5) Business Days following the monthly tax deposit date; 
 (b) Failure of Mortgagor in the observance or performance of any other monetary or non-monetary covenant, promise or agreement provided in this Mortgage or in any other Loan Document (a “failure to perform”), for thirty
(30) days after the giving of notice by Mortgagee to Mortgagor specifying the nature of the failure to perform; provided, however, that if the nature of such failure to perform is such that the same is not susceptible of cure within such thirty
(30) day period, such failure to perform shall not be deemed an Event of Default so long Mortgagor shall within such period commence to cure such failure to perform and thereafter diligently prosecute the cure to completion, but in no event
more than one hundred twenty (120) days in the aggregate from the date of the original notice of failure to perform. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the notice and cure period provided under this clause (b) shall
not be applicable to and shall not be in addition to any specific notice and cure or performance period provided under any other provision of this Mortgage, and the specific notice and cure or performance period provided for in such provision shall
control, and a failure by Mortgagor to cure a default under such provision within the applicable cure period shall be an Event of Default under this Mortgage; 
 (c) Any representation, warranty, or statement of Mortgagor contained herein or in any of the Loan Documents, including without limitation
the Environmental Indemnification Agreement, or in any writing delivered to Mortgagee on or before the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, proves to be untrue in any material respect as of the date when made; 
 (d) Mortgagor or the managing member of Mortgagor shall (i) have an order for relief entered in a proceeding under Title 11, United

 (e) A court shall enter an order, judgment or decree appointing, without the consent of Mortgagor, a receiver or trustee for it or for any
of the Security or approving a petition filed against Mortgagor which seeks relief under the bankruptcy or other similar laws of the United States, any state or any other jurisdiction, and such order, judgment or decree shall remain in force,
undischarged or unstayed, sixty (60) days after it is entered; 
 (f) Without the prior written consent of Mortgagee,
except with respect to Permitted Transfers (as hereinafter defined), (i) the Security or any portion thereof or interest therein shall be mortgaged, encumbered, sold, assigned or otherwise transferred by Mortgagor or by operation of law
(excluding Condemnation and worn-out or obsolete Personal Property that is replaced with Personal Property substantially similar thereto in quality and quantity), (ii) if Mortgagor is a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company,
syndicate or other group, all or any portion of the interest of any partner or member thereof is pledged or otherwise encumbered or is sold or otherwise transferred, or (iii) any interest in any entity that owns or Controls Mortgagor is pledged
or otherwise encumbered or is sold or otherwise transferred. As used herein, “Controls” shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a Person, whether
through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise. The term “Person” means with respect to this Mortgage any natural person, general partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company, trust, estate,

than fifty-one percent (51%) of (A) the partnership interests or units in Highland Hospitality, L.P. and (B) the membership interests in Mortgagor, as applicable. 
 25. Remedies Upon Default. Immediately upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Mortgagee shall have the option, in addition to and not in
lieu of or substitution for all other rights and remedies provided in this Mortgage or any other Loan Document or provided by law or in equity, and is hereby authorized and empowered by Mortgagor, to do any or all of the following: 
 (a) Mortgagee may, at its option without waiving any Event of Default, pay, perform or observe any or all of Mortgagor’s obligations
under the Loan Documents, and all payments made or costs or expenses incurred by Mortgagee in connection therewith shall be secured hereby and shall be, without demand, immediately repaid by Mortgagor to Mortgagee with interest thereon at the
Default Rate. Mortgagee shall be the sole judge of the necessity for any such actions and of the amounts to be paid. Mortgagee is hereby empowered to enter and to authorize others to enter upon the Security or any part thereof for the purpose of
performing or observing any such defaulted term, covenant or condition without thereby becoming liable to Mortgagor or any person in possession holding under Mortgagor. 
  

 25 








 (b) This Mortgage is upon the STATUTORY CONDITION and upon the further condition that all
covenants and agreements of, and conditions imposed upon, Mortgagor contained herein and in the other Loan Documents shall be kept and fully performed, for any breach of which, which constitutes an Event of Default under this Mortgage or the other
Loan Documents, Mortgagee shall have the STATUTORY POWER OF SALE, and upon the further condition that upon any Event of Default as aforesaid, Mortgagee shall have as to the Personal Property, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the
Uniform Commercial Code including, but not limited to, the option to proceed as to both the Land and Improvements under the law relating to foreclosure of real estate mortgages, and such further remedies as from time to time may hereafter be
provided in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for a secured party, and upon the further condition that all rights of Mortgagee under this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents as to the Personal Property, Land and Improvements may be exercised
together or separately and, at Mortgagee’s discretion, in connection with the exercise by Mortgagee of its rights under any one or more of this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents. 
 In exercising its power of sale under this instrument, Mortgagee may sell the Personal Property or any part thereof, either separately
from or together with the Land and Improvements and the balance of the Security, or any part thereof, either as one parcel or unit or in such separate parcels or units, all as Mortgagee may in its discretion elect; and may so sell the Security or
the Land and Improvements, as one parcel or unit or in such separate parcels or units, all as Mortgagee may in its discretion elect; and may so sell the Land and Improvements or any part thereof either separately from or together with the whole or
any part of other collateral which may constitute security for any obligation secured by the Security, also as Mortgagee may in its discretion elect. 
 In the event Mortgagee, in the exercise of the power of sale under this instrument elects to sell in parts or parcels, said sales may be held from time to time, and need not occur on the same day, and said power of
sale shall not be fully executed or exhausted until all of the Security or other collateral securing the Loan Documents not previously sold shall have been sold. 
 (c) Cause to be brought down to date a title examination and tax histories of the Security, procure title insurance or title reports or,
if necessary, procure new abstracts and tax histories.

 (e) Subject to the terms and conditions of that certain Agreement Regarding Hotel
Management Agreement by and among Borrower, Operating Tenant, Manager and Mortgagor dated as of                     , 2005, either by itself
or by its agent to be appointed by it for that purpose or by a receiver appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction, as a matter of strict right, without notice and without regard to the adequacy or value of any security for the Indebtedness or
the solvency of any party bound for its payment, to take possession of the Security and, whether or not Mortgagee has taken possession of the Security, to operate the Security, Mortgagor hereby waiving any right Mortgagor might have to object to or
oppose any such possession, and, to collect and apply the Rents and other Gross Revenue, including those past due and unpaid, in such order and manner as Mortgagee or such receiver in its sole discretion shall consider advisable, to or upon the
following, in such order and amounts as Mortgagee shall elect: the expenses of receivership, if any; the proper costs of upkeep, maintenance, repair and/or operation of the Security; the repayment of any sums theretofore or thereafter advanced
pursuant to the terms of this Mortgage; the interest then due or next to become due upon the Indebtedness; the taxes and assessments upon the Security then due or next to become due; and/or the unpaid principal of such Indebtedness. The collection
and/or receipt of Rents and other Gross Revenue from the Security by Mortgagee, its agent or receiver, after declaration of default and election to cause the Security to be sold under and pursuant to the terms of this Mortgage, shall not affect or
impair such default or declaration of default or election to cause the Security to be sold or any sale proceedings predicated thereon, but such proceedings may be conducted and sale effected notwithstanding the receipt and/or collection of any such
Rents and other Gross Revenue. Any such Rents and other Gross Revenue in the possession of Mortgagee, its agent or receiver, at the time of sale and not theretofore applied as herein provided, shall be applied in the same manner and for the same
purposes as the proceeds of the sale. Except for damage caused by Mortgagee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, Mortgagor hereby waives any claim Mortgagor may have against Mortgagee for mismanagement of the Security during
Mortgagee’s operation of the Security under this subparagraph or as mortgagee in actual possession under applicable statutes. 
 (f) Apply against the Indebtedness in such order as Mortgagee shall determine any funds held for the benefit of Mortgagor in escrow by Mortgagee or by any third-party escrow agent under any of the Loan Documents, including, without
limitation, any funds held under the escrow established pursuant to Section 5 of this Mortgage. 
 (g) Upon any
foreclosure sale, Mortgagee may bid for and purchase the Security and shall be entitled to apply all or any part of the Indebtedness as a credit to the purchase price. In the event of any sale of the Security by foreclosure, through judicial
proceedings, by advertisement, by power of sale, or otherwise, the proceeds of any such sale which are applied in accordance with this Mortgage shall be applied in the following order to: (i) all expenses incurred for the collection of the
Indebtedness and the foreclosure of this Mortgage, including reasonable compensation to Trustee and Mortgagee, their agents and attorneys; (ii) all sums expended or incurred by Mortgagee 
  

 27 








 and/or Trustee directly or indirectly in carrying out the terms, covenants and agreements of the Note or
notes evidencing the Indebtedness, of this Mortgage and any other Loan Documents, together with interest thereon as therein provided; (iii) all late payment charges, prepayment fees, advances and other amounts due under any of the Loan
Documents; (iv) all accrued and unpaid interest upon the Indebtedness; (v) the unpaid principal amount of the Indebtedness; and (vi) the surplus, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled thereto. 
 Mortgagor will pay to Mortgagee upon demand all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagee in the exercise of Mortgagee’s rights and
remedies under this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents for collection of the Indebtedness, foreclosure on the Security or otherwise, including without limitation title insurance fees and premiums, environmental consultant’s charges and
appraisal, engineering and inspection fees under subparagraph 25(d), receiver’s fees, costs and agent’s compensation under subparagraph 25(f), auctioneer’s fees and foreclosure sale advertising costs, any deed excise tax stamps
required to be affixed to the foreclosure deed and court filing fees, together with attorney’s fees and costs which shall include without limitation all attorney’s fees and costs incurred in connection with (A) the exercise of
Mortgagee’s rights and remedies as aforesaid, (B) any negotiations, other services and advice rendered regarding restructuring of the Indebtedness prior to any foreclosure sale, whether or not any such restructuring is actually
accomplished, and (C) any petition filed by or against Mortgagor under Title 11, United States Code. Any such amounts incurred by Mortgagee shall be secured hereby and shall be immediately repaid by Mortgagor to Mortgagee upon demand with
interest thereon at the Default Rate, all of such amounts together with such interest being collectively referred to as “foreclosure costs.” 
 In the event of any acceleration of the Indebtedness pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section, Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee together with the principal indebtedness and interest thereon an amount equal to
the Prepayment Fee or Default Prepayment Fee, as applicable, provided for in the Note and such fee shall be included as part of the Indebtedness. 
 Mortgagee shall not be under any obligation to make any of the payments or do any of the acts referred to in this Section and any of the actions referred to in this Section may be taken by Mortgagee irrespective of whether any notice of
default or election to sell has been given hereunder and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the indebtedness evidenced by the Note. 
 Failure to exercise any option to accelerate in the event of a default or other circumstance permitting the exercise of such option, shall not constitute a waiver of the default or of the right to exercise such option at a later time, or a
waiver of the right to exercise such option in the event of any other default or circumstance specified above. 
 26. Receiver. If an
Event of Default shall have occurred, Mortgagee, to the maximum extent permitted by law, shall be entitled, as a matter of right, to the appointment of a receiver of the Security, without notice or demand, and without regard to the adequacy of the
security for the Indebtedness or the solvency of Mortgagor. Mortgagor hereby irrevocably consents to such appointment and waives notice of any application therefor. Any such receiver or receivers shall have all the usual powers and duties of
receivers in like or similar cases and all the powers and duties of Mortgagee in case of entry and shall continue as such and exercise all such powers until 
  

 28 








 the date of confirmation of sale of the Security, unless such receivership is sooner terminated. If an Event of Default
shall have occurred, Mortgagee shall also be entitled to become a mortgagee in possession with all the powers, rights and remedies that a duly appointed receiver would have. 
 27. [Omitted] 
 28. Prepayment
Fees. Immediately upon the first insertion of any advertisement or notice of any such sale, there shall become due and owing by Mortgagor all expenses incident to such advertisement or notice, all court costs and all expenses incident to any
foreclosure proceedings brought under this Mortgage or otherwise in connection with such sale, plus interest thereon at the Default Rate, and no party shall be required to receive only the aggregate Indebtedness then secured hereby unless it is
accompanied by a tender of payment of such expenses, costs, and interest. In partial consideration for Mortgagee agreeing to make the Loan to Mortgagor, Mortgagor agrees that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and acceleration of the
Indebtedness secured hereby, any tender of payment by or on behalf of Mortgagor of the amount necessary to satisfy all of such Indebtedness made at any time before or at any foreclosure sale shall constitute an evasion of the payment terms of the
Note and hereunder, and shall be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment, and such payment, to the extent permitted by law, shall be accompanied by the Prepayment Fee, or the Default Prepayment Fee (as appropriate), as provided in the Note, and
Mortgagee shall not be obligated to accept any such tender of payment unless such tender of payment includes such Prepayment Fee, or such Default Prepayment Fee (as applicable). 
 29. Acceleration Interest. In addition to any late payment charge which may be due under the Note, Mortgagor shall pay interest on all sums due
hereunder at a rate (the “Default Rate”) equal to the lesser of (i) the Interest Rate plus three percent (3%) per annum, or (ii) the maximum rate permitted by law, from and after the first to occur of the following
events: (A) Mortgagee sends notice to Mortgagor that it elects to cause the acceleration of the Indebtedness; (B) a petition under Title 11, United States Code, shall be filed by or against Mortgagor or if Mortgagor shall seek or consent
to the appointment of a receiver or trustee for itself or for any of the Security, file a petition seeking relief under the bankruptcy or other similar laws of the United States, any state or any other jurisdiction, make a general assignment for the
benefit of creditors, or be unable to pay its debts as they become due; (C) a court shall enter an order, judgment or decree appointing, with or without the consent of Mortgagor, a receiver or trustee for it or for any of the Security or
approving a petition filed against Mortgagor which seeks relief under the bankruptcy or other similar laws of the United States, any state or any other jurisdiction, and any such order, judgment or decree shall remain in force, undischarged or
unstayed, sixty (60) days after it is entered; or (D) if all sums due hereunder are not paid on the Maturity Date (as defined in the Note). 
 30. Late Charge. In the event any sums of principal, interest and applicable escrow amounts due under the Note, this Mortgage or any other Loan Document, are not paid by Mortgagor when due, without regard to
any cure or grace period, Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee for the month during which such payment is not made when due, a one-time late charge equal to the lesser of three percent (3%) of such installment or the maximum amount allowed by law,
as the reasonable estimate by Mortgagee and Mortgagor of a fair average compensation for the loss that may be sustained by Mortgagee due to the failure of Mortgagor to 
  

 29 








 make timely payments, and such amount shall be secured hereby, provided that such late charge shall not apply to the
payment of the entire outstanding Indebtedness due on the Maturity Date. Such late charge shall be paid without prejudice to the right of Mortgagee to collect any other amounts provided to be paid or to declare an Event of Default under this
Mortgage or any other Loan Document. 
 31. Waiver of Statutory Rights. 
 (a) Mortgagor agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that in an Event of Default on the part of Mortgagor hereunder, neither
Mortgagor nor anyone claiming through or under Mortgagor will set up, claim, or seek to take advantage of any moratorium, reinstatement, forbearance, appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or exemption laws now or hereafter in force, in order to
prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this Mortgage, or the sale of the Security, or the delivery of possession thereof immediately after such sale to the purchaser at such sale, and Mortgagor, for itself and all who may at any time
claim through or under it, hereby waives to the fullest extent that it may lawfully do so, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all rights to have the assets subject to the security interest of this Mortgage marshaled upon any foreclosure or
sale under the power granted herein and agrees that Mortgagee or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose such lien may sell the Security in part or in its entirety. 
 (b) TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, MORTGAGOR AND MORTGAGEE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY
MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS MORTGAGE OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS
OF MORTGAGOR OR MORTGAGEE. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR MORTGAGEE MAKING THE LOAN SECURED HEREBY. 
 32. Security
Interest. This Mortgage shall, as to any equipment and other Personal Property covered hereby, be deemed to constitute a security agreement, and Mortgagor, as debtor, hereby grants to Mortgagee, as secured party, a security interest therein
pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Mortgagor agrees, upon request of Mortgagee, to furnish an inventory of Personal Property (including the FF&E) owned by Mortgagor and subject to this Mortgage and,
upon request by Mortgagee, to execute any supplements to this Mortgage, any separate security agreement, any financing statements and any continuation statements in order to include specifically said inventory of Personal Property or otherwise to
perfect the security interest granted hereby. Upon any Event of Default, Mortgagee shall have all of the rights and remedies provided in said Code or otherwise provided by law or by this Mortgage, including but not limited to the right to require
Mortgagor to assemble such Personal Property and make it available to Mortgagee at a place to be designated by Mortgagee which is reasonably convenient to both parties, the right to take possession of the Personal Property with or without demand and
with or without process of law and the right to sell and dispose of the same and distribute the proceeds according to law. The parties hereto agree that any requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if Mortgagee sends such notice to Mortgagor

  

 30 








 at least ten (10) days prior to the date of sale, disposition or other event giving rise to the required notice, and
that the proceeds of any disposition of any such Personal Property may be applied by Mortgagee first to the reasonable expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable Attorneys’ Fees and legal expenses incurred, and then to payment of
the Indebtedness. With respect to the Personal Property that has become so attached to the Real Property that an interest therein arises under the real property law of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, this Mortgage shall also constitute a
financing statement and a fixture filing under the Massachusetts Uniform Commercial Code. Mortgagor is the record owner of the Real Property and the addresses of Mortgagor and Mortgagee are as set forth on the first page of this Mortgage. Mortgagor
represents and warrants that it is a “registered organization” organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. Mortgagor covenants that it will not alter such registration without the prior written consent of Mortgagee. Mortgagor
further represents and warrants that its name is exactly as set forth in the signature page of this Mortgage. Mortgagor also covenants that its name shall not be altered without the prior written consent of Mortgagee. Mortgagor hereby acknowledges
and agrees that this Mortgage is an authenticated record, and authorizes the filing of financing statements by Mortgagee without the execution thereof by Mortgagor. 
 33. Right of Entry. Mortgagee and Mortgagee’s representatives may at all times during normal business hours and with reasonable notice to Mortgagor and Manager enter upon the Security and inspect the same,
or cause it to be inspected by agents, employees or independent contractors of Mortgagee, and show the same to others, but Mortgagee shall not be obligated to make any such entry or inspection. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence,
Mortgagee shall give reasonable prior notice to Mortgagor of Mortgagee’s intent to exercise its rights under this Section so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 
 34. Estoppel Certificate. Mortgagor, within fifteen (15) days after written request from Mortgagee, will furnish a signed statement in
writing, duly acknowledged, of the amount then due or outstanding hereunder and whether or not any offsets or defenses exist against the Indebtedness, and if so, specifying such offsets and defenses. Upon request by Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall
exercise any right it may have to request an estoppel certificate from any or all of the tenants on the Security within ten (10) days following Mortgagee’s request. 
 35. Annual Statements. Mortgagor will furnish Mortgagee with the following financial statements and information, all of which reports will be in
hard copy and electronic format: 
 (a) within forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter, an unaudited
balance sheet and a statement of revenues and expenses for such quarter and year-to-date; 
 (b) within ninety (90) days
after the end of each calendar year, (a) a reviewed balance sheet and (b) a statement of revenues and expenses for the Real Property and Mortgagor, certified as true and correct by the chief financial officer of the general partner of
Mortgagor; 
  

 31 








 (c) Within ninety (90) days after the end of each calendar year, annual capital
expenditure summaries for the Real Property; and 
 (d) Such other financial information as Mortgagee may reasonably request
in writing. 
 In addition to the regularly scheduled reports required above, Mortgagor agrees to provide Mortgagee within five
(5) Business Days after a written request therefor, a balance sheet and year-to-date operating statements for the Real Property certified by the chief financial officer of the general partner of Mortgagor. Mortgagor also agrees to reasonably
cooperate with Mortgagee and Mortgagee’s loan servicer in providing information and access to the Real Property in connection with the annual inspection of the Real Property, or such other inspections as Mortgagee may reasonably require.

 Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (a) and (b) above, Mortgagee agrees that subsection (b) above shall be waived
by Mortgagee, provided that Mortgagee shall retain the right, in its sole discretion and any time and from time to reinstate the requirements of subsection (b) by written notice to Mortgagor, effective upon receipt by Mortgagor of such notice.

 Mortgagor acknowledges that Mortgagee may sell, transfer or assign the Loan, or any interest therein (whether by sale of the entire Loan,
the issuance of participation certificates in private unrated transactions, or in connection with a securitization of the Loan individually or as part of a pool of loans in a public or private rated transaction, or otherwise). In connection
therewith, Mortgagor agrees that Mortgagee shall be entitled to disclose, as Mortgagee may deem necessary or desirable, to any and all investors, purchasers, transferees, servicers, participants, investors, rating agencies or organizations
maintaining databases on the underwriting and performance of commercial mortgage loans, all documents and information which Mortgagee has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Loan, whether furnished by Mortgagor or any guarantor or indemnitor.

 If Mortgagor omits to prepare and deliver promptly any report required by this Section, and such failure continues for thirty
(30) days after written notice thereof, Mortgagee may elect, in addition to exercising any remedy for an Event of Default as provided for in this Mortgage, to make an audit of all books and records of Mortgagor and its beneficial owners (but
excluding Highland Hospitality Corporation), including their bank accounts, which in any way pertain to the Security, and to prepare the statement or statements which Mortgagor failed to procure and deliver. Such audit shall be made and such
statements shall be prepared by an independent certified public accountant to be selected by Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall pay all expenses of the audit and other services, which expenses shall be secured hereby as part of the Indebtedness and shall be
immediately due and payable with interest thereon at the Default Rate. 
 Mortgagee shall afford any information received pursuant to this
Section 35 the same degree of confidentiality that Mortgagee affords similar information proprietary to Mortgagee; provided, however, that Mortgagee does not in any way warrant or represent that such information received from Mortgagor will
remain confidential, and, provided further, that Mortgagee shall have the unconditional right to disclose, as necessary, any such information in the event Mortgagee sells, transfers, conveys, or assigns this Mortgage or any portion of the
Indebtedness. 
  

 32 








 36. Rights Cumulative. Each right and remedy of Mortgagee under this Mortgage, the Note and the
other Loan Documents, shall be in addition to every other right and remedy of Mortgagee and such rights and remedies may be enforced separately, successively and in any combination and order. 
 37. Subrogation. To the extent that proceeds of the Indebtedness are used to pay any outstanding lien, charge or encumbrance affecting the
Security, and such proceeds have been advanced by Mortgagee at Mortgagor’s request, Mortgagee shall be subrogated to all rights, interest and liens owned or held by any owner or holder of such outstanding liens, charges and encumbrances,
irrespective of whether such liens, charges or encumbrances are released of record; provided, however, that the terms and provisions hereof shall govern the rights and remedies of Mortgagee and shall supersede the terms, provisions, rights, and
remedies under the lien or liens to which Mortgagee is subrogated hereunder. 
 38. No Waiver. Any failure by Mortgagee to insist upon
the strict performance by Mortgagor of any of the terms and provisions hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the terms and provisions hereof, and Mortgagee, notwithstanding any such failure, shall have the right thereafter to insist
upon the strict performance by Mortgagor of any and all of the terms and provisions hereof to be performed by Mortgagor. 
 39. Mortgage
Extension. The lien hereof shall remain in full force and effect during any postponement or extension of the time of payment of the Indebtedness, or of any part thereof, and any number of extensions or modifications hereof, or any additional
notes taken by Mortgagee, shall not affect the lien hereof or the liability of Mortgagor or of any subsequent obligor to pay the Indebtedness unless and until such lien or liability be expressly released in writing by Mortgagee. 
 40. Indemnification. Mortgagor shall indemnify and hold Mortgagee harmless from and against all obligations, liabilities, losses, costs, expenses,
fines, penalties or damages (including Attorneys’ Fees) which Mortgagee may incur by reason of this Mortgage or with regard to the Security prior to such time as Mortgagee takes actual physical possession of and manages and operates the Real
Property after an Event of Default, except for such claims that are caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Mortgagee or the escrow holder under any escrow agreements controlled by Mortgagee; provided, however, that such obligation
to indemnify and hold Mortgagee harmless shall not apply to the extent that such obligations, liabilities, losses, costs, expenses, fines, penalties or damages arise after (i) any transfer of the Real Property by foreclosure under this Mortgage
or by a deed-in-lieu thereof, (ii) the repayment of the Loan in full, and/or (iii) the release of the lien of the Mortgage from the Real Property. Mortgagor shall defend Mortgagee against any claim or litigation involving Mortgagee for the
same, and should Mortgagee incur such obligation, liability, loss, cost, expense, fine, penalty or damage, then Mortgagor shall reimburse Mortgagee upon demand. Any amount payable to Mortgagee under this provision shall be secured hereby and, if not
paid within five (5) days following demand therefor, shall bear interest at the Default Rate. 
  

 33 








 41. Nonrecourse. Except as provided in this Section 41 and in Section 17 of the Note,
notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, no judgment for the repayment of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or in any action to foreclose this Mortgage or to collect any amount
payable under the Note or the other Loan Documents or for the performance or discharge of any covenants, obligations or undertakings of Mortgagor will be satisfied out of the personal assets of Mortgagor or of any holders of beneficial interest in
Mortgagor. Mortgagee’s sole recourse for such judgment(s) shall be against the Real Property and other collateral as provided pursuant to this Mortgage and any of the other Loan Documents. The foregoing limitation on liability shall not apply,
and Mortgagor shall be personally liable, for all damages and losses incurred by Mortgagee and any equitable relief as a court may award for the following acts or omissions, to the extent described: 
  

					
	  	  	 Act or Omission
	  	 Liability

	 (i)     
	  	Mortgagor misapplies any Condemnation (defined in Section 9 of this Mortgage) awards or insurance proceeds attributable to the Real Property,	  	To the extent of such misapplication;
			
	 (ii)
	  	Mortgagor misapplies any security deposits or reserves attributable to the Real Property,	  	To the extent of such misapplication;
			
	 (iii)
	  	Mortgagor collects rents in advance in violation of any covenant under the Loan Documents,	  	To the extent of such rents collected in advance;
			
	 (iv)
	  	Mortgagor commits any fraud, misrepresentation or waste,	  	To the extent of any remedies available at law or in equity;
			
	 (v)
	  	Gross revenues from the Real Property are sufficient to pay any portion of the indebtedness, operating and maintenance expenses, insurance premiums deposits into a reserve or escrow account, or
other sums required by the Loan Documents, and Mortgagor fails to make such payments or deposits when due,	  	To the extent of any funds diverted from such payments or expenses (during the twelve (12) months prior to Mortgagee’s notice of acceleration through the date Mortgagee takes title to the
Real Property);
			
	 (vi)
	  	Mortgagor enters into any guarantee and/or indemnification agreement(s), as may be required under this Mortgage,	  	As provided in such guarantee or indemnification;

  

 34 









					
	  	  	 Act or Omission
	  	 Liability

	 (vii)
	  	Mortgagor fails to pay Real Estate Taxes and other Impositions which are a lien against the Real Property during the period of Mortgagor’s ownership,	  	To the extent of any unpaid Real Estate Taxes and other Impositions, and any additional interest, penalties or other charges assessed as a result of such non-payment; provided, however, to the
extent Mortgagor makes escrow deposits for Real Estate taxes under the Tax Escrow Agreement or under Section 5 hereof, Mortgagor shall have not liability for nonpayment of such Real Estate Taxes, to the extent of such escrowed
funds.
			
	 (viii)
	  	Mortgagor fails to maintain the levels, coverages and maximum deductibles of insurance required under the Loan Documents, to the extent that a casualty or liability occurs or arises and
insurance proceeds would have been available had such insurance been maintained,	  	In the amount of the loss incurred as the result of such uninsured casualty or uninsured liability.

 There shall be no limitation on Mortgagor’s personal liability under, nor on the exercise of any of
Mortgagee’s rights under, any indemnity from Mortgagor to Mortgagee, including without limitation the Environmental Indemnification Agreement, except as may be expressly set forth in the terms of such indemnity. 
 42. Attorneys’ Fees. Any reference to “Attorney Fees”, “Attorneys’ Fees”, or “Attorney’s Fees” in
this document includes but is not limited to both the reasonable fees, charges and costs incurred by Mortgagee through Mortgagee’s retention of outside legal counsel and the allocable reasonable fees, costs and charges for services rendered by
Mortgagee’s in-house counsel. Any reference to “Attorney Fees”, “Attorneys’ Fees”, or “Attorney’s Fees” shall also include but not be limited to those reasonable attorneys or legal fees, costs and charges
incurred by Mortgagee in the collection of any Indebtedness, the enforcement of any obligations hereunder, the protection of the Security, the appointment of a receiver as permitted hereunder, the foreclosure of this Mortgage, the sale of the
Security, the defense of actions arising hereunder and the collection, protection or setoff of any claim the Mortgagee may have in a proceeding under Title 11, United States Code, or any state bankruptcy or insolvency statute. Attorneys’ Fees
provided for hereunder shall accrue whether or not Mortgagee has provided notice of default or of an intention to exercise its remedies for such default. 
  

 35 








 43. Administrative Fees. Mortgagee shall have the right to charge reasonable administrative fees
during the Term of the Note as Mortgagee may determine, its reasonable discretion, in connection with any servicing requests made by Mortgagor requiring Mortgagee’s evaluation, preparation and processing of any such requests not to exceed
$5,000.00 in any one matter. Administrative fees shall not be charged for routine servicing matters contemplated by the Loan Documents including, without limitation: processing payments; processing insurance and UCC continuation documentation;
processing escrow draws; review of tenant leases, subordination non-disturbance and attornment agreements and tenant estoppels on standard forms approved by Mortgagee without material modifications. Such administrative fees shall apply to requests
for matters not permitted or contemplated by the Loan Documents, including, without limitation requests for transfers or assignments, requests for partial releases; requests for review of new easements and loan modifications and to requests, which
while contemplated by the Loan Documents, because of the nature of the request, will require significantly more time than an institutional lender, acting reasonably, would contemplate for such request (including without limitation, requests for the
approval of tenant leases, tenant estoppels and tenant subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements which contain material differences from Mortgagee’s standard forms). Mortgagee shall also be entitled to reimbursement for
professional fees it incurs for such administration, including without limitation, those of architects, engineers and Attorneys’ Fees, provided that Mortgagee shall be entitled to reimbursement of Attorneys’ Fees for either in-house
counsel or outside counsel, but not both. 
 44. [Omitted] 
 45. Protection of Security; Costs and Expenses. Mortgagor shall appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security
hereof or the rights or powers of Mortgagee, and shall pay all costs and expenses, including without limitation cost of evidence of title and reasonable Attorneys’ Fees, in any such action or proceeding in which Mortgagee may appear, and in any
suit brought by Mortgagee to foreclose this Mortgage or to enforce or establish any other rights or remedies of Mortgagee hereunder. If Mortgagor fails to perform any of the covenants or agreements contained in this Mortgage within any applicable
notice and cure periods provided for in this Mortgage, or if any action or proceeding is commenced which affects Mortgagee’s interest in the Security or any part thereof, including, but not limited to, eminent domain, code enforcement, or
proceedings of any nature whatsoever under any federal or state law, whether now existing or hereafter enacted or amended, relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization or other form of debtor relief, or to a decedent, then after
compliance with the applicable notice and cure provisions provided for in this Mortgage, Mortgagee may, but without obligation to do so and without further notice to or demand upon Mortgagor and without releasing Mortgagor from any obligation
hereunder, make such appearances, disburse such sums and take such action as Mortgagee deems necessary or appropriate to protect Mortgagee’s interest, including, but not limited to, disbursement of reasonable Attorneys’ Fees, entry upon
the Security to make repairs or take other action to protect the security hereof, and payment, purchase, contest or compromise of any encumbrance, charge or lien which in the judgment of Mortgagee appears to be prior or superior hereto. Mortgagor
further agrees to pay all reasonable expenses of Mortgagee (including without limitation Attorney’s Fees and disbursements) (i) incident to the protection of the rights of Mortgagee hereunder, or (ii) incident to the enforcement or
collection of payment of the Indebtedness, whether by judicial or non-judicial proceedings, or in connection with any 
  

 36 








 bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization or other debtor relief proceeding of Mortgagor, or otherwise, or
(iii) in connection with any title insurance coverage ordered in connection with any foreclosure proceedings hereunder. Mortgagor also agrees to pay all taxes (except federal and state income taxes) and other governmental charges or impositions
imposed by any governmental authority on Mortgagee by reason of their interest in the Loan Documents. Any amounts disbursed by Mortgagee pursuant to this Section 45 shall be additional indebtedness of Mortgagor secured by the Loan Documents as
of the date of disbursement and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. All such amounts shall be payable by Mortgagor immediately without demand. Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to require Mortgagee to incur any expense, make
any appearance, or take any other action. 
 46. Notices. Any notice, demand, request, statement or consent made hereunder shall be in
writing, signed by the party giving such notice, request, demand, statement, or consent, and shall be deemed to have been properly given when either delivered personally, delivered to a reputable overnight delivery service providing a receipt or
deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid and registered or certified return receipt requested, at the address set forth below, or at such other address within the continental United States of America as may have theretofore have been

 50. Invalidity. If any provision of this Mortgage shall be held invalid or unenforceable, the same shall not affect in any respect whatsoever the
validity of the remainder of this Mortgage, except that if such provision relates to the payment of principal or interest, then the Mortgagee may, at its option, declare the Indebtedness due and payable upon one hundred (120) days prior written
notice to Mortgagor and, provided there exists no Event of Default hereunder, without prepayment fee. 
 51. Captions. The captions in
this instrument are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference, and are not and shall not be deemed to be any part hereof. 
 52. Modifications. This Mortgage may not be changed or terminated except in writing signed by both parties. The provisions of this Mortgage shall extend and be applicable to all renewals, amendments, extensions, consolidations, and
modifications of the other Loan Documents, and any and all references herein to the Loan Documents shall be deemed to include any such renewals, amendments, extensions, consolidations or modifications thereof. 
 53. Bind and Inure. The provisions of this Mortgage shall be binding on the Mortgagor and its heirs, successors and assigns, and any subsequent

 54. Replacement of Note. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagor of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Note,
and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagor or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the Note, Mortgagor will execute and
deliver, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note, identical in form and substance to the Note and dated as of the date of the Note and upon such execution and delivery all references in this Mortgage to the Note shall be deemed to refer to such
replacement Note. 
 55. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to each and every covenant, agreement and obligation
of Mortgagor under this Mortgage, the Note and any of the other Loan Documents. 
 56. Business Day. The terms “Business

McLean, Virginia; Hartford, Connecticut or Boston, Massachusetts. 
 57. [Omitted] 
  

 38 








 58. Authority of Mortgagee. As Operating Tenant is not a maker of the Note, Operating Tenant
hereby authorizes Mortgagee to perform any of the following acts at any time and from time to time, all without notice to Operating Tenant and without affecting Mortgagee’s rights or Operating Tenant’s obligations under this Mortgage:
(i) alter any terms of the Loan Documents, including renewing, compromising, extending or accelerating, or otherwise changing the time for payment of, or increasing or decreasing the rate of interest under, the Note, (ii) take and hold
security for the Loan Documents, accept additional or substituted security for the Loan Documents, and subordinate, exchange, enforce, waive, release, compromise, fail to perfect, sell or otherwise dispose of any such security, (iii) apply any
security now or later held for the Loan Documents in any order that Mortgagee in its sole discretion may choose, and direct the order and manner of any sale of all or any part of it and bid at any such sale, (iv) release any obligor under the
Note or any of the other Loan Documents, including without limitation Borrower (each an “Obligor”) of its liability under any Loan Document, and/or (v) substitute, add or release any one or more guarantors or endorsers of the Loan
Documents. 
 59. Waivers of Operating Tenant. Operating Tenant absolutely, unconditionally, knowingly, and expressly waives:

 (a) (1) notice of acceptance hereof; (2) notice of any loans or other financial accommodations made or extended
under this Mortgage and the Loan Documents to which it is a party or the creation or existence of any Indebtedness; (3) notice of the amount of the Indebtedness, subject, however, to the Operating Tenant’s right to make inquiry of the
Mortgagee to ascertain the amount of the Indebtedness at any reasonable time; (4) notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of any Obligor or of any other fact that might increase Operating Tenant’s risk hereunder;
(5) notice of presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notice thereof as to any instruments among the Loan Documents to which the Operating Tenant is a party; (6) notice of any Event of Default; and (7) all other notices (except
if such notice is specifically required to be given to Operating Tenant hereunder or under the Loan Documents to which the Operating Tenant is a party) and demands to which Operating Tenant might otherwise be entitled. 
 (b) its right to require the Mortgagee to institute suit against, or to exhaust any rights and remedies which the Mortgagee has or may
have against, any Obligor or any third party, or against any collateral for the Indebtedness provided by any Obligor or any third party. Operating Tenant further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense (other than the
defense that the Indebtedness shall have been fully and finally performed and indefeasibly paid) of any Obligor or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any Obligor in respect thereof. 
 (c) (1) any rights to assert against Mortgagee any defense (legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim, or claim which the Operating
Tenant may now or at any time hereafter have against any Obligor or any other party liable to the Mortgagee; (2) any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack
of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Indebtedness or any security therefor; (3) any defense the Operating Tenant has to performance hereunder, or otherwise, arising by reason of: the impairment 
  

 39 








 or suspension of the Mortgagee’s rights or remedies against any Obligor; the alteration by the
Mortgagee of the Indebtedness; any discharge of any Obligor’s obligations to the Mortgagee by operation of law as a result of the Mortgagee’s intervention or omission; or the acceptance by the Mortgagee of anything in partial satisfaction
of the Indebtedness; and (4) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting Mortgagor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof, and any act which shall defer or delay the operation of any statute of limitations applicable to
the Indebtedness shall similarly operate to defer or delay the operation of such statute of limitations applicable to Mortgagor’s liability hereunder. 
 (d) Operating Tenant absolutely, unconditionally, knowingly, and expressly waives any defense arising by reason of or deriving from (i) any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by any Mortgagee
including any defense based upon an election of remedies by the Mortgagee under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or any other jurisdiction; or (ii) any election by any Mortgagee under Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code to
limit the amount of, or any collateral securing, its claim against an Obligor. 
 Mortgagee may elect, in its sole discretion, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default to foreclose this Mortgage in any manner permitted by law, without diminishing or affecting the liability of Operating Tenant hereunder except to the extent the Indebtedness is repaid with the proceeds of such
foreclosure. The Operating Tenant is hereby relinquishing a defense to the enforceability of this Mortgage and the Loan Documents to which Operating Tenant is a party and hereby waives any right to assert against the Mortgagee any defense to the
enforcement of this Mortgage and the Loan Documents to which Operating Tenant is a party, whether denominated “estoppel” or otherwise. Operating Tenant understands that the effect of the foregoing waiver may be that Operating Tenant may
have liability hereunder for amounts with respect to which Operating Tenant may be left without rights of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, or indemnity against any Obligor or other guarantors or sureties. 
 (e) Operating Tenant hereby absolutely, unconditionally, knowingly, and expressly waives: (i) any right of subrogation such Operating
Tenant has or may have as against any Obligor with respect to the Indebtedness; (ii) any right to proceed against any Obligor or any other person or entity, now or hereafter, for contribution, indemnity, reimbursement, or any other suretyship
rights and claims, whether direct or indirect, liquidated or contingent, whether arising under express or implied contract or by operation of law, which such Operating Tenant may now have or hereafter have as against any Obligor with respect to the
Indebtedness; and (iii) any right to proceed or seek recourse against or with respect to any property or asset of any Obligor. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Mortgage, except with respect to the obligations of Mortgagor set forth in Sections 4 (Impositions), 7 (Insurance), 41 (Nonrecourse), and this Section 59 (Waivers of Operating Tenant),
for all purposes Operating Tenant shall not have any responsibility to perform or provide any obligation, covenant, representation or warranty under this Mortgage, except and only to the extent Mortgagee has accelerated the obligations secured by
the Mortgage and Mortgagee reasonably determines that Operating Tenant’s performance of any such excluded obligation or covenant is required in order 
  

 40 








 for Mortgagee to realize upon all or any portion of the Security. Operating Tenant’s obligations under
Section 41 shall be limited to acts or omissions which arise in connection with Operating Tenant’s duties under the Operating Lease. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, nothing contained in this Section
shall be construed so as to negatively affect Highland Hospitality Corporation’s continued qualification as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code. 
 Except as approved by Mortgagee in writing, Operating Tenant further agrees that it does not now and will not in the future operate any other hotels or
similar projects whether under agreements similar to the Operating Lease or otherwise. 
 60. Obligor’s Financial Condition.
Operating Tenant assumes full responsibility for keeping informed of Obligor’s financial condition and business operations and all other circumstances affecting Obligor’s ability to pay and perform its obligations to Mortgagee, and agrees
that Mortgagee shall have no duty to disclose to Operating Tenant any information which Mortgagee may receive about Obligor’s financial condition, business operations or any other circumstances bearing on Obligor’s ability to perform.

 61. Statutory Condition; Statutory Power of Sale. This Mortgage is upon the STATUTORY CONDITION for any breach of which, or upon
the breach of any other of Mortgagor’s covenants and undertakings hereunder, Mortgagee shall have the STATUTORY POWER OF SALE. 
 62.
Fixture Filing. Upon its recording in the Suffolk County Registry of Deeds, this Mortgage shall be effective as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing under the Uniform Commercial Code of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. In
addition, a carbon, photographic or other reproduced copy of this Mortgage and/or any financing statement relating hereto shall be sufficient for filing and/or recording as a financing statement. The filing of any other financing statement relating
to any collateral, rights or interest described herein shall not be construed to diminish any right or priority hereunder.
