deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender all certificates or instruments evidencing the Pledged Interests, together with duly executed transfer powers or other appropriate endorsements. With respect to any Collateral in the possession of or
registered in the name of a custodian bank or nominee therefor, or any Collateral represented by entries on the books of any financial intermediary, Borrower agrees to cause such custodian bank or nominee either to enter into an agreement with
Lender satisfactory to Lender in form and content confirming that the Collateral is held for the account of Lender, or at the discretion of Lender and subject to the written instructions of Lender, deliver any such Collateral to Lender and/or cause

account maintained by Lender as financial intermediary, Borrower hereby gives notice to Lender of Lender’s security interest in such Collateral. In addition, Borrower agrees that in the event that any Collateral is held by Lender in a fiduciary
capacity for or on behalf of Borrower as the beneficial owner thereof, any agreements

Equity Interests are to be evidenced by a certificate, such additional certificates shall be promptly delivered to Lender, together with Powers related thereto, or other instruments appropriate to a certificate representing an Equity Interest, duly
executed in blank. Borrower shall deliver to Lender all subscriptions, warrants, options and all such other rights, and upon delivery to Lender, Lender shall hold such subscriptions, warrants, options and other rights as additional collateral
pledged to secure the Debt; provided, however, that if Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that the value of any such subscriptions, warrants, options or other rights shall terminate, expire or be materially reduced in value by holding the
same as Collateral, Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation), in its sole discretion, to sell or exercise the same, and if exercised, then the monies disbursed by Lender in connection therewith shall become part of the Debt and all of
the stock, securities, evidences of indebtedness and other items so acquired shall be titled in the name of Borrower and shall become part of the Collateral.

respect to the holders of shares in publicly traded corporations which hold an equity interest in Borrower, General Partner or Guarantor and which holders of shares in publicly traded corporations do not Control Borrower, General Partner or
Guarantor, the representations contained in clauses (i) and (iii) of the preceding sentence are made to the knowledge of Borrower. No tenant at the Premises currently is identified on the OFAC List or otherwise qualifies as a Prohibited
Person, and, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, no tenant at the Premises is owned or Controlled by a Prohibited Person. Borrower has determined that Manager has implemented procedures, approved by Borrower, to ensure that no tenant at the
Premises is a Prohibited Person or owned or Controlled by a Prohibited Person. 
 (kk) Perfected Security Interest.
Upon the filing of the UCC-1 financing statements with the Delaware Secretary of State, Lender will have a valid, and duly perfected first priority, security interest in the Collateral enforceable as such against all creditors of Borrower and any
Persons purporting to purchase any Pledged Interests and Proceeds from Borrower. 
 Section 2.03. Further Acts, Etc.
Borrower will, at the cost of Borrower, and without expense to Lender, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every such further acts, deeds, conveyances, assignments, notices of assignments, transfers and assurances as Lender shall, from time
to time, reasonably require for the better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring, and confirming unto Lender the property, security interest and rights hereby given, granted, bargained, sold, alienated, enfeoffed, conveyed, confirmed,
pledged, assigned and hypothecated, or which Borrower may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to Lender, or for carrying out or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Agreement or for filing, registering or recording this
Agreement and, on demand, will execute and deliver and hereby authorizes Lender to execute in the name of Borrower or without the signature of Borrower to the extent Lender may lawfully do so, one or more financing statements, chattel mortgages or
comparable security instruments to evidence more effectively the lien hereof upon the Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower will: (i) if any Collateral shall be evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument
or chattel paper, deliver and pledge to Lender hereunder such note or instrument or chattel paper duly indorsed and accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender;
(ii) execute or authenticate and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary 

  
 17 









 
or desirable and as Lender may request, in order to perfect and preserve the security interest granted or purported to be granted by Borrower hereunder; (iii) take all action necessary to
ensure that Lender has control of any Collateral consisting of deposit accounts, electronic chattel paper, investment property and letter-of-credit rights as provided in Sections 9-104, 9-105, 9-106 and 9-107 of the UCC; and (iv) deliver
to Lender evidence that all other action that Lender may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order to perfect and protect the security interest granted or purported to be granted by Borrower under this Agreement has been taken. Borrower grants
to Lender an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest for the purpose of protecting, perfecting, preserving and realizing upon the interests granted pursuant to this Agreement and to effect the intent hereof, all as fully and
effectually as Borrower might or could do; and Borrower hereby ratifies all that Lender shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof; provided, however, that Lender shall not exercise such power of attorney unless and until Borrower fails
to take the required action within the five (5) Business Day time period stated above unless the failure to so exercise, could, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, result in a Material Adverse Effect. Upon (a) receipt of an affidavit of
an officer of Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Note or any other Loan Document which is not of public record, (b) receipt of an indemnity of Lender related to losses resulting solely from the issuance of a
replacement note or other applicable Loan Document and (c) in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note or other applicable Loan Document, Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note or other
applicable Loan Document, dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or other Loan Document in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor. 

Section 2.04. Recording of Agreement, etc. Borrower forthwith upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement and
thereafter, from time to time, will, at the request of Lender, cause this Agreement, and any security instrument creating a lien or security interest or evidencing the lien hereof upon the Collateral and each instrument of further assurance to be
filed, registered or recorded in such manner and in such places as may be required by any present or future law in order to publish notice of and fully protect the lien or security interest hereof upon, and the interest of Lender in, the Collateral.
Borrower will pay all filing, registration or recording fees, and all expenses incident to the preparation, execution and acknowledgment of this Agreement, any additional security instrument with respect to the Collateral and any instrument of
further assurance, and all federal, state, county and municipal, taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and any security agreement supplemental hereto, or
any instrument of further assurance, except where prohibited by law to do so, in which event Lender may declare the Loan to be immediately due and payable. Borrower shall hold harmless and indemnify Lender, and its successors and assigns, against
any liability incurred as a result of the imposition of any tax on the making and recording of this Agreement.

relating to the Loan Documents and/or the Collateral or Lender’s interest therein or in which it becomes necessary to defend or uphold the lien of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Borrower shall, on demand, reimburse Lender for all
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection therewith, and such sum, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from and after such demand until fully paid,
shall constitute a part of the Loan.

if any, required to be paid pursuant to Section 6.01(b)(v) hereof.

(1) Business Day of obtaining knowledge thereof) notify Lender of the occurrence of any default under the Mortgage Loan, the Intermediate Mez Loan or the Senior Mez Loan or of the occurrence of any event, which but for the passage of time or

of the Senior Mez Borrower under the Senior Mez Loan Documents. 
 (c) Borrower shall cause Intermediate Mez Borrower to
comply with all of the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in the Intermediate Mez Loan Documents, notwithstanding any waiver or future amendment of such covenants by Intermediate Mez Lender. Borrower acknowledges that the obligation to comply

(y) any transaction which is motivated by an intent to evade this Agreement; or 
 (e) breach any of the covenants or
obligations of the Corporations, LLCs or Partnerships pursuant to this Agreement. 
 Section 2.18. Conduct of
Operations. To the extent that such matters are within the control of Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Organizational Documents and applicable laws, Borrower shall cause the Corporations, LLCs and Partnerships to conduct their operations
and to manage, protect and preserve their assets and to act in a commercially reasonable manner to preserve the value of the Collateral. 
 Section 2.19. Voting Rights; Etc. (a) So long as an Event of Default shall not have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall be permitted (i) to receive any and all regular
Distributions and dividends paid in cash and in the ordinary course of business of the Partnerships, the LLCs and the Corporations with respect to the Equity Interests and (ii) to exercise all voting and other rights with respect to the Equity
Interests as long as no vote shall be cast, or right exercised or other action taken which would, directly or indirectly, materially impair the value of any Collateral or which would be inconsistent with or result in a default under this Agreement

for the purpose of enabling Borrower to exercise the voting and other rights which it is entitled to exercise and to receive the dividends or interest payments which it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to this Agreement. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the aforesaid rights shall immediately and automatically vest in Lender. 

  
 23 









 (b) If Borrower shall receive, by virtue of Borrower’s being or having been an
owner of any Equity Interest, (i) any Distributions or dividends payable in cash (except such Distributions and dividends permitted to be retained by Borrower pursuant to sub-section (a) above) or in securities or other property, or
(ii) any Distributions or dividends in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or a reclassification, increase or reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in capital, Borrower shall receive the same in trust for
Lender, segregate the same from its other assets and promptly deliver the same to Lender in the exact form received, with any necessary endorsement and/or appropriate powers or other instruments of assignment or conveyance, to be held by Lender as
Collateral pursuant to this Agreement. 
 Section 2.20. Admission of New Equity. Borrower will not agree to admit
any new or substitute shareholders, members or partners into the Corporations, LLCs or Partnerships or transfer its interests in the Corporations, LLCs or Partnerships unless such new shareholder, member or partner executes and delivers, and agrees
to be bound by, an agreement, in form and content substantially identical to this Agreement, pursuant to which such new shareholder, member or partner pledges its interests in the Corporations, LLCs or Partnerships to Lender and such admission is
otherwise in accordance with the terms of the applicable Organizational Documents and the Loan Documents. 
 Section 2.21.
Proceeds of Collateral. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all Proceeds of the Collateral received by Borrower shall be promptly delivered to Lender, in the same form as received, with the addition only of
such endorsements and assignments as may be necessary to transfer title to Lender, and pending such delivery, such Proceeds shall be held in trust for Lender; and such Proceeds shall be applied to the Debt in such order and manner as Lender shall
direct in its sole discretion. 
 Section 2.22. Admission of Lender As Shareholder, Member, Partner. In the event
that Lender forecloses on the Collateral, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Organizational Documents, the Person that acquires the Collateral in connection with such foreclosure (whether Lender, a designee or Affiliate of Lender or any
other Person) shall automatically be admitted as a shareholder, member or partner of the Corporations, LLCs or Partnerships, respectively, and shall be entitled to receive all benefits and exercise all rights in connection therewith pursuant to the
Organizational Documents; provided, however, that such Person (whether Lender, a designee or Affiliate of Lender or any other Person) shall have no liability for matters in connection with the Equity Interests arising or occurring, directly or
indirectly, prior to such Person becoming a shareholder, member or partner of the Corporations, LLCs or Partnerships.

upon their direction or request shall, directly or indirectly, acquire or agree to acquire, obtain, purchase or control the Mortgage Loan, or any portion thereof or any interest therein, or any direct or indirect ownership interest in the holder of,
or participant in, the Mortgage Loan in any manner whatsoever. If, solely by operation of applicable subrogation law, Borrower or any Affiliate thereof shall be in breach of or fail to comply with the foregoing, then such breach or failure shall not
be an Event of Default provided that Borrower (a) shall immediately upon obtaining knowledge thereof notify Lender of such failure or breach, and (b) shall cause Borrower and Affiliates thereof acquiring any interest in the


  
 24 









 
Mortgage Loan Documents (i) not to enforce the Mortgage Loan Documents, and (ii) upon the request of Lender, to the extent any Borrower or such Affiliate has the power or authority to

breach or failure shall not be an Event of Default provided that Senior Mez Borrower (a) shall immediately upon obtaining knowledge thereof notify Lender of such failure or breach, and (b) shall cause Senior Mez Borrower and
Affiliates thereof acquiring any interest in the Senior Mez Loan Documents (i) not to enforce the Senior Mez Loan Documents, and (ii) upon the request of Lender, to the extent any Senior Mez Borrower or such Affiliate has the power or

breach, and (b) shall cause Intermediate Mez Borrower and Affiliates thereof acquiring any interest in the Intermediate Mez Loan Documents (i) not to enforce the Intermediate Mez Loan Documents, and (ii) upon the request of Lender, to
the extent any Intermediate Mez Borrower or such Affiliate has the power or authority to do so, to promptly (A) cancel, reconvey and release its interest in the Intermediate Mez Loan Documents, (B) discontinue and terminate any enforcement
proceeding(s) under the Intermediate Mez Loan Documents and (C) assign and transfer its interest in the Intermediate Mez Loan Documents to Lender.

or transfer or assignment with or for the benefit of Mortgage Lender or any of Mortgage Lender’s Affiliates or designees. Without the express prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not, and shall not cause or permit Owner to, enter
into any consensual sale or transfer or assignment or other similar transaction, impair or otherwise adversely affect the interests of Lender in the Collateral or any portion thereof or any interest therein. 

  
 25 









 Section 2.25. Intercreditor Agreement. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that
Lender, Intermediate Mez Lender, Senior Mez Lender and Mortgage Lender have entered into an intercreditor agreement regarding their respective rights under the Mortgage Loan, Intermediate Mez Loan, Senior Mez Loan and Loan (the
“Intercreditor Agreement”). Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (a) no Person other than Lender, Intermediate Mez Lender, Senior Mez Lender and Mortgage Lender has any rights whatsoever, direct or indirect, beneficial or
otherwise, under the Intercreditor Agreement and Borrower is not a third party beneficiary thereof; (b) Lender, Intermediate Mez Lender, Senior Mez Lender and Mortgage Lender may amend, modify, cancel, terminate, supplement or waive the
Intercreditor Agreement at any time without notice to, or the consent of Borrower, Owner or any other Person, and (c) except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, any restriction or other agreement between Lender, Intermediate Mez Lender,
Senior Mez Lender and Mortgage Lender set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement is personal between Lender, Intermediate Mez Lender, Senior Mez Lender and Mortgage Lender and, as between Lender, on the one hand, and Borrower, on the other hand, no
such agreement or restriction will be deemed to benefit or otherwise modify any of the rights of Lender under the Loan Documents. 
 Section 2.26. Payment of Impositions. Borrower shall pay and discharge all taxes now or hereafter imposed on it, or its income or profits, on any of its property or upon the liens provided for
herein prior to the date on which penalties attach thereto; provided that Borrower shall have the right to contest the validity or amount of any such tax in good faith and by proper proceedings. Borrower shall promptly pay any valid, final judgment
enforcing any such tax and cause the same to be satisfied of record. 
 Section 2.27. Central Cash Management.
(a) All amounts paid by the issuer of the Rate Cap Agreement (the “Counterparty”) to Borrower or Lender, together with all rents, issues, profits, insurance proceeds, condemnation proceeds, refinancing proceeds and all other
sums received with respect to the Premises or distributed with respect to the Equity Interests after all sums which are then due and payable have been paid to Mortgage Lender pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, to Senior Mez Lender
pursuant to the terms of the Senior Mez Loan Agreement and to Intermediate Mez Lender pursuant to the terms of the Intermediate Mez Loan Agreement (collectively, “Remaining Rents”), shall be paid by federal wire transfer or
automatic clearing house funds (“ACH”) to Lender and shall be deposited immediately into an Eligible Account located at a bank satisfactory to Lender (the “Lockbox Account”). Lender has established the Lockbox
Account in the name of Lender as secured party. The Lockbox Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender. The Lockbox Account shall contain the Debt Service Payment Account (an “Account” and together with the other
accounts now or hereafter required to be established pursuant to this Section 2.27, collectively, the “Accounts”) to which certain funds shall be allocated and from which disbursements shall be made pursuant to the terms of the
Lockbox Agreement. Borrower hereby irrevocably directs and authorizes Lender to withdraw funds from the Lockbox Account, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lockbox Agreement. Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal in respect
of the Lockbox Account. Each transfer of funds to be made hereunder shall be made only to the extent that funds are on deposit in the Lockbox Account, and Lender shall have no responsibility to make additional funds available in the event that funds
on deposit are insufficient. Subject to the rights of Senior Mez Lender pursuant to the terms of the Senior Mez Loan Agreement and Intermediate Mez Lender pursuant to the terms of the Intermediate Mez Loan Agreement,


  
 26 









 
Borrower shall enter into or shall cause Owner to enter into a substitute cash management agreement and related lockbox agreement (collectively, the “Substitute CMA Agreements”)
with substantially the same terms as the agreements entered into as of the date hereof in connection with the Mortgage Loan as a condition to the satisfaction of the Mortgage Loan or if Mortgage Lender is not requiring that sums be deposited into
any Sub-Accounts or Escrow Accounts. Such substitute agreements shall provide that all Remaining Rents shall be deposited into the Lockbox Account for disbursement in accordance with the terms of the Substitute CMA Agreements, the Lockbox Agreement
(as amended to conform with the Substitute CMA Agreements) and this Agreement. Additionally, on or before the Closing Date, Borrower shall establish or cause Owner to establish such escrow and reserve accounts and deposit such amounts into such
accounts as required pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the funds on deposit in the Lockbox Account, and all other funds received by Lender in respect of the
Loan, shall be disbursed and applied in such order and such manner as Lender shall elect in its sole discretion. If Borrower shall receive any Remaining Rents other than in accordance with this Agreement, Borrower shall hold all such payments in
trust for Lender, will not co-mingle such payments with other funds of Borrower, and will immediately pay and deliver in kind, all such payments directly to Lender for application by Lender in accordance with this Agreement. 

(b) Borrower shall maintain the Rate Cap Agreement at all times during the term of the Loan and pay all fees, charges and expenses
incurred in connection therewith. Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms of the Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid by the Counterparty to Borrower or Lender shall be deposited immediately into the Lockbox Account.
Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to enforce Lender’s rights under the Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the Counterparty. In the event that (a) the long-term unsecured debt obligations of the
Counterparty are downgraded by the Rating Agency below “A+” or its equivalent or (b) the Counterparty shall default in any of its obligations under the Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, promptly but in all
events within five (5) Business Days, replace the Rate Cap Agreement with an agreement having identical payment terms and maturity as the Rate Cap Agreement and which is otherwise in form and substance substantially similar to the Rate Cap
Agreement and otherwise acceptable to Lender with a cap provider, the long-term unsecured debt of which is rated at least “AA-” (or its equivalent) by each Rating Agency, or which will allow each Rating Agency to reaffirm their then
current ratings of all rated certificates issued in connection with the Securitization. In the event that Borrower fails to maintain the Rate Cap Agreement as provided in this Section, Lender may purchase the Rate Cap Agreement and the cost incurred
by Lender in connection therewith shall be paid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost is incurred until such cost is paid by Borrower to Lender. 

(c) Subject to the rights of Senior Mez Lender and Intermediate Mez Lender, (i) during the existence of an Event of Default or
(ii) if Owner would be required to deposit sums into the Sub-Accounts or Escrow Accounts pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage (as it exists as of the Closing Date), but such sums are not being deposited into the Sub-Accounts or Escrow
Accounts, Borrower shall establish and maintain one or more sub-accounts of the Lockbox Account into which Remaining Rents shall be deposited for the purposes of paying Basic Carrying Costs, Recurring Replacement Expenditures and Operating Expenses.
In connection therewith, Borrower and Lender shall modify the Lockbox Agreement to provide that, if sums 

  
 27 









 
are required to be deposited into the Lockbox Account pursuant to this Section 2.27(c), such funds shall be allocated in the order of priority set forth in Section 5.05 of the Mortgage
and Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to execute any such amendment to the Lockbox Agreement. The amounts to be deposited in such sub-accounts shall equal the amounts required to be
deposited in the Sub-Accounts and Escrow Accounts pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage (as in effect on the Closing Date or as amended with Lender’s approval) and sums deposited into such sub-accounts may be released on the same terms and
conditions as set forth in the Mortgage (as in effect on the Closing Date or as amended with Lender’s approval). 

(d) Borrower hereby agrees for the benefit of itself, Senior Mez Borrower, Intermediate Mez Borrower and Owner that all payments
actually received by Lender shall be deemed payments to Borrower by Senior Mez Borrower, Intermediate Mez Borrower and Owner. Lender shall apply any and all such payments actually received by Lender for application in accordance with this Agreement.
After payment of all sums due and payable with respect to the Loan, Lender shall return to Borrower that portion of any payments actually received by Lender from Borrower, Senior Mez Borrower, Intermediate Mez Borrower or Owner which is required to
be paid to Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents together with, in the event of a Release made in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.11(b) hereof, any funds held by Lender pursuant to Section 2.27(c) hereof which are allocable
to the portion of the Property which is the subject of the Release. 
 Section 2.28. Certain Additional Rights of
Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary which may be contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have: 

(a) the right to routinely consult on a regular basis (no less frequently than quarterly) with and advise Borrower’s management
regarding the significant business activities and business and financial developments of Borrower, provided, however, that such consultations shall not include discussions of environmental compliance programs or disposal of hazardous
substances, and, provided, further, that Lender shall have the right to call special meetings at any reasonable times; 
 (b) the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to restrict financing to be obtained in connection with future property transactions,
refinancing of any acquisition financings, and unsecured debt unless the Loan has been paid in full or such transactions, financings or debt are incurred in connection with a portion of the Property which was the subject a release pursuant to
Section 2.11 hereof; 
 (c) the right, without restricting any other right of Lender under this Agreement (including
any similar right), to restrict, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower’s payments of management, consulting, director or similar fees to Affiliates of Borrower (or their personnel); 

(d) Intentionally Omitted; 
 (e) the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to approve any acquisition by Borrower of any other significant property (other than
personal property required for the day to day operation of the Premises); 

  
 28 









 (f) the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement
(including any similar right), in the event of an Event of Default, to vote the owners’ interests in Borrower pursuant to irrevocable proxies granted, at the request of Borrower in advance for this purpose; and 

(g) the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to restrict the
transfer of voting interests in Borrower held by its members, and the right to restrict the transfer of interests in such member, except for any transfer that is a Permitted Transfer (provided no transfer pursuant to clause (c) of the
definition thereof shall result in the transfer of direct interests in Owner, Intermediate Mez Borrower or Senior Mez Borrower). 
 The rights
contained in this Section 2.28 may be exercised by any Person which owns or Controls, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the interests in Lender or the Loan. 
 Section 2.29. Refinancing, Liens, etc. Borrower shall not and shall not permit Senior Mez Borrower, Intermediate Mez Borrower or Owner to, without the prior written consent of Lender, which
consent may be withheld, delayed or conditioned in the sole discretion of Lender, give its consent or approval or agree to any of the following: 
 (a) (i) any refinancing of the Mortgage Loan, Intermediate Mez Loan or the Senior Mez Loan in whole unless the Loan is repaid in accordance with the terms hereof simultaneously therewith,
(ii) any prepayment in full of the Mortgage Loan, Intermediate Mez Loan or the Senior Mez Loan except in connection with a Release made in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof, (iii) any Transfer (for purposes of this
Section 2.29(a) only, as defined in the Mortgage (as in effect on the Closing Date or as amended with Lender’s approval)) of the Premises (other than a Permitted Transfer (provided no transfer pursuant to clause (c) of the definition
thereof shall result in the transfer of direct interests in Owner, Intermediate Mez Borrower or Senior Mez Borrower)) unless a Release occurs simultaneously therewith in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof, or (iv) any action in connection
with or in furtherance of the foregoing; 
 (b) placing or permitting to attach any additional liens or encumbrances on the
Premises (except for liens and encumbrances permitted under the Mortgage Loan Documents, Intermediate Mez Loan Documents or the Senior Mez Loan Documents (as in effect on the Closing Date or as amended with Lender’s approval) not requiring the
consent of Mortgage Lender, the Intermediate Mez Lender or the Senior Mez Lender); or 
 (c) any modification, amendment,
consolidation, spread, restatement or waiver of any provision of the Mortgage Loan Documents, Intermediate Mez Documents or Senior Mez Documents. 
 Section 2.30. Insurance. (a) The insurance described in Section 3.01 of the Mortgage and Section 2.30(c) hereof (except policies for worker’s compensation) shall be in the
form (other than with respect to Sections 3.01(a)(vi) and (vii) of the Mortgage when insurance in those two sub-sections is placed with a governmental agency or instrumentality on such agency’s forms) and amount and with deductibles
as, from time to time, shall be reasonably acceptable to 

  
 29 









 
Lender, under valid and enforceable policies issued by financially responsible insurers authorized to do business in the State where the Premises is located, with a general policyholder’s
service rating of not less than A and a financial rating of not less than XIII as rated in the most currently available Best’s Insurance Reports (or the equivalent, if such rating system shall hereafter be altered or replaced) and shall have a
claims paying ability rating and/or financial strength rating, as applicable, of not less than “AA” (or its equivalent), or such lower claims paying ability rating and/or financial strength rating, as applicable, as Lender shall, in its
sole and absolute discretion, consent to, from a Rating Agency (one of which after a Securitization in which Standard & Poor’s rates any securities issued in connection with such Securitization, shall be Standard &
Poor’s). All such policies (except policies for worker’s compensation) shall name Lender as an additional named insured (subject to the rights of Mortgage Lender, Intermediate Mez Lender and Senior Mez Lender), with respect to the
insurance required pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(iii) of the Mortgage, shall provide, subsequent to the satisfaction of the Mortgage Loan, for loss payable to Lender (subject to the rights of Intermediate Mez Lender and Senior Mez Lender) and
shall contain (or have attached): (i) standard “non-contributory mortgagee” endorsement or its equivalent relating, inter alia, to recovery by Lender notwithstanding the negligent or willful acts or omissions of Borrower;
(ii) a waiver of subrogation endorsement as to Lender; (iii) an endorsement indicating that neither Lender nor Borrower shall be or be deemed to be a co-insurer with respect to any casualty risk insured by such policies and shall provide
for a deductible per loss of an amount not more than $25,000, and (iv) a provision that such policies shall not be canceled, terminated, denied renewal or amended, including, without limitation, any amendment reducing the scope or limits of
coverage, without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lender in each instance. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration dates of the insurance policies obtained pursuant to this Agreement certificates
evidencing such renewals bearing notations evidencing the payment of premiums or accompanied by other reasonable evidence of such payment (which premiums shall not be paid by Borrower or Owner through or by any financing arrangement which would
entitle an insurer to terminate a policy) shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender. Borrower shall not carry separate insurance, concurrent in kind or form or contributing in the event of loss, with any insurance required under Section 3.01 of
the Mortgage or Section 2.30(c) hereof. 
 (b) If Borrower fails to maintain and deliver to Lender the original
policies or certificates of insurance required by this Agreement, Lender may, at its option, procure such insurance, and Borrower shall pay, or as the case may be, reimburse Lender for, all premiums thereon promptly, upon demand by Lender, with
interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date paid by Lender to the date of repayment and such sum shall constitute a part of the Debt. 
 (c) Borrower shall deliver, or shall cause Owner to deliver, to Lender such other insurance as may from time to time be required by Lender and which is then customarily required by Institutional
Lenders for similar properties similarly situated, against other insurable hazards, including, but not limited to, malicious mischief, vandalism, acts of terrorism, windstorm and/or earthquake, due regard to be given to the size and type of the
Premises, Improvements, Fixtures and Equipment and their location, construction and use. Additionally, Borrower shall carry such insurance coverage as Lender may from time to time require if the failure to carry such insurance may result in a
downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of any class of securities issued in connection with a Securitization. 

  
 30 









 Section 2.31. Casualty. Borrower shall give Lender prompt notice of any loss or
damage to the Premises the cost to repair which could reasonably be expected to be in excess of $250,000 in the aggregate and, subject to the rights of the Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents, Intermediate Mez Lender under the
Intermediate Mex Loan Documents and Senior Mez Lender under the Senior Mez Loan Documents (which shall in all respects supercede the rights of Lender under this Section 2.31): 

(a) After the Mortgage Loan, the Intermediate Mez Loan and the Senior Mez Loan have been paid in full, (i) in the event of any
loss or damage covered by any insurance, Lender shall apply any insurance proceeds in the same manner such proceeds would be required to be applied by Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage and other Mortgage Loan Documents and (ii) Borrower shall
not adjust, compromise or settle any claim for such proceeds without the prior written consent of Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and Lender shall have the right, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, to participate
in any settlement or adjustment of Insurance Proceeds; provided, however, that, except during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender’s consent shall not be required with respect to the adjustment, compromising or settlement of any claim
for proceeds in an amount less than $1,000,000. The expenses incurred by Lender in the adjustment and collection of such proceeds of insurance shall be additional Debt of Borrower, and shall be reimbursed to Lender upon demand or, at Lender’s
option, in the event and to the extent sufficient proceeds are available, deducted by Lender from such proceeds of insurance prior to any other application thereof. If the Mortgage Loan, the Intermediate Mez Loan and the Senior Mez Loan have been
paid in full, each insurance company which has issued insurance is hereby authorized and directed to make payment for all losses covered by such insurance to Lender alone, and not to Lender and Borrower, Intermediate Mez Borrower, Senior Mez
Borrower or Owner jointly. Borrower agrees to execute and cause Owner, Intermediate Mez Borrower and Senior Mez Borrower to execute all documents and make all deliveries required in order to permit adjustment and payment of insurance proceeds as
provided above. 
 (b) Subject to the prior rights of Mortgage Lender, Intermediate Mez Lender and Senior Mez Lender,
Borrower hereby assigns to Lender the proceeds of all insurance (other than worker’s compensation and liability insurance) obtained pursuant to this Agreement, all of which proceeds shall be payable to Lender as collateral and further security
for the payment of the Debt and the performance of Borrower’s obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and Borrower hereby authorizes and directs the issuer of any such insurance to, subject to the rights of Mortgage Lender,
Intermediate Mez Lender and Senior Mez Lender, make payment of such proceeds directly to Lender. Lender may, in its sole discretion, apply the proceeds of insurance received upon any casualty to any one or more of the following: (i) the payment
of the Debt, whether or not then due, in any proportion or priority as Lender, in its discretion, may elect, (ii) the repair or restoration of the Property, (iii) the cure of any Default or (iv) the reimbursement of the costs and
expenses of Lender incurred pursuant to the terms hereof. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to excuse Borrower from repairing or maintaining or causing Owner to repair or maintain the Property as provided in this Agreement or restoring or
causing Owner to restore all damage or destruction to the Property, regardless of the sufficiency of the proceeds, and the application or release by Lender of any proceeds shall not cure or waive any Default or notice thereof. 

  
 31 









 Section 2.32. Management of Premises. (a) Borrower shall cause Owner to
operate and manage the Property or cause the Property to be operated and managed in a manner which is consistent with the Approved Manager Standard. Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender that (a) the Premises will be managed at all times by
an Approved Manager pursuant to the management agreement approved by Lender (the “Management Agreement”), such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (b) after Borrower has knowledge of a fifty percent
(50%) or more change in control of the ownership of Manager, Borrower will promptly give Lender notice thereof (a “Manager Control Notice”) and (c) the Management Agreement may be terminated by Lender at any time
(i) for cause to the extent provided in the Management Agreement (including, but not limited to, Manager’s gross negligence, misappropriation of funds, willful misconduct or fraud) following the occurrence of an Event of Default of the
type set forth in Section 3.01(a) through (c), or (ii) to the extent provided in the Management Agreement, following the receipt of a Manager Control Notice and Borrower shall cause Owner to appoint a substitute Approved Manager.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, transfers of publicly traded stock of Manager on a national stock exchange or on the NASDAQ Stock Market in the normal course or business and not in connection with a tender offer or sale or Manager or substantially
all of the assets of Manager shall not require the giving of a Manager Control Notice. Borrower may from time to time cause Owner to appoint a successor manager to manage the Premises, provided that any such successor manager shall be an Approved
Manager. Borrower further covenants and agrees that Borrower shall cause Owner to require the Manager (or any successor managers) to maintain at all times during the term of the Loan worker’s compensation insurance as required by Governmental
Authorities. 
 (b) Borrower shall not allow Owner to enter into any new or replacement Franchise Agreement without
obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (provided that any Franchise Agreement which is on a form in all material respects (including, without limitation, all fees due
thereunder) the same as the form of any Franchise Agreement which is contained in the uniform franchise offering circular for any Approved Franchisor shall be deemed an acceptable form), and shall cause Owner to (i) pay or shall cause to be
paid all sums required to be paid by Borrower under any Franchise Agreement and Operating Lease, (ii) diligently perform and observe all of the material terms, covenants and conditions of any Franchise Agreement on the part of Owner to be
performed and observed to the end that all things shall be done which are necessary to keep unimpaired the rights of Owner under any Franchise Agreement and Operating Lease, (iii) promptly notify Lender of the giving of any notice to Owner or
Borrower of any material default by Owner in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of and Franchise Agreement or Operating Lease on the part of Owner to be performed and observed and deliver to Lender a true copy
of each such notice, and (iv) promptly deliver to Lender a copy of each financial statement, business plan, capital expenditures plan, report and estimate received by it under the Franchise Agreement or the Management Agreement or the Operating
Lease. Borrower shall not, without the prior consent of the Lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, allow Owner to surrender any Franchise Agreement or Operating Lease or terminate or cancel any Franchise
Agreement or modify, change, supplement, alter or amend any Franchise Agreement or Operating Lease, in any material respect, either orally or in writing, and Borrower hereby assigns to Lender as further security for the payment of the Debt and for
the performance and observance of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Security Instrument, all the rights, privileges and prerogatives of Borrower to surrender any Franchise Agreement or Operating Lease or to terminate, cancel, modify,
change, 

  
 32 









 
supplement, alter or amend any Franchise Agreement or Operating Lease in any respect, and any such surrender of any Franchise Agreement or termination, cancellation, modification, change,
supplement, alteration or amendment of any Franchise Agreement or Operating Lease without the prior consent of Lender shall be void and of no force and effect, provided, however, Borrower may allow Owner to terminate any Franchise Agreement if Owner
enters into a new Franchise Agreement with an Approved Franchisor pursuant to a Franchise Agreement which is reasonably acceptable to Lender. If Owner shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of any
Franchise Agreement or Operating Lease on the part of Owner to be performed or observed, then, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations
hereunder, Lender shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all the terms, covenants and conditions of any Franchise Agreement or Operating Lease
on the part of Borrower to be performed or observed to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of Borrower, to the end that the rights of Borrower in, to and under any Franchise Agreement and Operating Lease shall be kept unimpaired and free
from default. Lender and any Person designated by Lender shall have, and are hereby granted, the right to enter upon the Property at any time and from time to time for the purpose of taking any such action. If the franchisor under any Franchise
Agreement or lessee under an Operating Lease shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice sent to Borrower of default under any Franchise Agreement or Operating Lease, as applicable, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any
action to be taken by Lender in good faith, in reliance thereon. Borrower shall, from time to time, use its best efforts to obtain from the franchisor or lessee under any Franchise Agreement such certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance
by Borrower with the terms of any Franchise Agreement as may be requested by Lender. Borrower shall exercise or cause Owner to exercise each individual option, if any, to extend or renew the term of any Franchise Agreement within four
(4) months of the last day upon which any such option may be exercised, unless Lender consents to the non-renewal of such Franchise Agreement in writing, and Borrower hereby expressly authorizes and appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact to
exercise any such option in the name of and upon behalf of Borrower or Owner, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest, provided, however, that Lender shall not exercise such power of attorney
unless and until Borrower fails to take the actions required herein. 
 Section 2.33. Power of Attorney. Borrower
hereby irrevocably appoints and instructs Lender as its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of Borrower and in the name of Borrower, Lender or otherwise, from time to time in Lender’s discretion to take any and all
actions necessary and proper, to carry out the intent of this Agreement and (a) to perfect and protect the lien, pledge, assignment and security interest of Lender created hereunder, (b) from and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, (i) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral, (ii) to file any claims or take any action or
institute any proceedings for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of Lender with respect to any of the Collateral, and (iii) in connection with the exercise of any power, right, privilege or remedy
pursuant to this Agreement, to make all necessary assignments, transfers and deliveries of the Collateral and rights and to execute all applications, certificates, instruments, assignments and other documents and papers, (c) to collect and
receive any insurance proceeds paid with respect to any portion of the insurance policies required to be 

  
 33 









 
maintained hereunder, and to endorse any checks, drafts or other instruments representing any insurance proceeds whether payable by reason of loss thereunder or otherwise, (d) to exercise
any option to extend or renew the term of any Ground Lease in the name of and on behalf of Borrower or Owner and (e) from and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to file and prosecute, to the exclusion of Borrower and Owner, any
proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices and other documents, in any case in respect of any Ground Lessor under the Bankruptcy Code. Borrower hereby ratifies, approves and confirms all actions taken by Lender and its
attorneys-in-fact pursuant to this Section 2.33. Neither Lender nor any said Lender or attorney-in-fact will be liable for any acts of commission or omission nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law with respect to its
dealings with the Collateral. This power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until the date upon which the Debt has been indefeasibly satisfied in full. Without limiting the foregoing, if Borrower fails to perform any
agreement or obligation contained herein, Lender may itself perform, or cause performance of, where necessary or advisable in the name or on behalf of Borrower, and at the expense of Borrower, as applicable. 

Section 2.34. Leases. (a) Borrower covenants and agrees that, from the date hereof and until payment in full of the
Debt, Borrower shall, or shall cause Owner to, comply with the terms and provisions of Section 7.02(a) through (c) of the Mortgage as provided in Section 2.14 hereof, and, to the extent such term, covenants and conditions require any
consents, approvals or waivers by Mortgage Lender, Lender shall have the same rights to consent, approve or waive. 

(b) Subject to the rights of Mortgage Lender in respect of the Rents under the Mortgage Loan Documents, the rights of Intermediate
Mez Lender in respect of the Rents under the Intermediate Mez Loan Documents and the rights of Senior Mez Lender in respect of the Rents under the Senior Mez Loan Documents, at any time that (i) payments are not being made to the Central
Account, or (ii) following repayment of the Mortgage Loan, then Lender shall have the immediate right to notify the bank in which the Collection Account is located to make payments directly to the Lockbox Account. Subject to the rights of
Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents, Intermediate Mez Lender under the Intermediate Mez Loan Documetns and Senior Mez Lender under the Senior Mez Loan Documents, security and other refundable deposits of tenants, whether held in cash
or any other form, shall, after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, be turned over to Lender (together with any undisbursed interest earned thereon) upon Lender’s request therefor to be held by Lender subject to the terms of the
Leases. Any letter of credit or other instrument which Borrower or Owner holds in lieu of cash security deposit shall be maintained in full force and effect in the full amount of such deposits unless replaced by cash deposits as herein-above
described and shall in all respects comply with any applicable Legal Requirements and otherwise be satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall, upon request, provide Lender with evidence satisfactory to Lender of Borrower’s, Intermediate Mez
Borrower’s, Senior Mez Borrower’s and Owner’s compliance with the foregoing. 
 (c) Borrower (i) shall
cause Owner or Operating Tenant to observe and perform all of its material obligations under the Leases pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements and shall not do or permit to be done anything to impair the value of the Major Space Leases;
(ii) shall cause Owner to promptly send copies to Lender of all notices of material default which Owner shall receive under the Major Space Leases; (iii) shall, consistent with the Approved Manager


  
 34 









 
Standard, enforce all of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases to be observed or performed; (iv) shall not permit Owner to collect any of the Rents under the Major
Space Leases more than one (1) month in advance (except that Owner may collect in advance such security deposits as are permitted pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements and are commercially reasonable in the prevailing market);
(v) shall not permit Owner to cancel or terminate any of the Leases or accept a surrender thereof in any manner inconsistent with the Approved Manager Standard; (vi) shall not permit Owner to alter, modify or change the terms of any
guaranty of any Major Space Lease or cancel or terminate any such guaranty in a manner inconsistent with the Approved Manager Standard; (vii) shall cause Owner, in accordance with the Approved Manager Standard, to make all reasonable efforts to
seek lessees for space as it becomes vacant and enter into Leases in accordance with the terms hereof; and (viii) shall not permit Owner to materially modify, alter or amend any Major Space Lease or Property Agreement without Lender’s
consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Borrower shall, and shall cause Intermediate Mez Borrower, Senior Mez Borrower and Owner to, promptly send copies to Lender of all notices of material default which any of
Intermediate Mez Borrower, Senior Mez Borrower or Owner shall receive under the Leases. 
 Section 2.35.
Condemnation. In the event that all or any portion of the Premises shall be damaged or taken through condemnation (which term shall include any damage or taking by any governmental authority, quasi-governmental authority, any party having the
power of condemnation, or any transfer by private sale in lieu thereof), or any such condemnation shall be threatened, Borrower shall give prompt written notice to Lender. Lender acknowledges that Owner’s rights to any condemnation award is
subject to the terms of the Mortgage, the Intermediate Mez Loan Documents and the Senior Mez Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may not and shall not permit Owner, Intermediate Mez Borrower or Senior Mez Borrower to settle or
compromise any claim, action or proceeding relating to such damage or condemnation without the prior written consent of Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or denied; provided, further, that any of Owner, Intermediate Mez
Borrower or Senior Mez Borrower may settle, adjust and compromise any such claim, action or proceeding which is of an amount less than five percent (5%) of the Allocated Loan Amount provided no Event of Default has occurred. Any proceeds
remaining after the application of any award to reconstruct or repair the Premises or to the payment of the Mortgage Loan, Intermediate Mez Loan and the Senior Mez Loan shall be paid to Lender and applied to the payment of the Debt whether or not
then due. In the event that Owner is permitted pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage to reconstruct, restore or repair the Premises following a condemnation of any portion of the Premises, Borrower shall cause Owner to promptly and diligently repair
and restore the Premises in the manner and within the time periods required by the Mortgage, the Leases and any other agreements affecting the Premises. In the event that Owner is permitted pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage to elect not to
reconstruct, restore or repair the Premises following a condemnation of any portion of the Premises, Borrower shall not permit Owner to elect not to reconstruct, restore or repair the Property without the prior written consent of Lender. 

Section 2.36. Ground Lease. 
 (a) Borrower will, and will cause Owner to, comply in all material respects with the terms and conditions of any Ground Lease. Borrower will not, and will not permit Owner to, do or permit anything
to be done, the doing of which, or refrain from doing anything, the omission 

  
 35 









 
of which, will impair or tend to impair the security of the Premises under the Ground Leases or will be grounds for declaring a forfeiture of any Ground Lease. Borrower shall, and shall cause
Owner to, promptly send copies of all notices of default which Owner may receive under any Ground Lease to Lender. 

(b) Borrower shall, and shall cause Owner to, enforce the Ground Leases and not terminate, modify, cancel, change, supplement, alter
or amend any Ground Lease, or waive, excuse, condone or in any way release or discharge any Ground Lessor of or from any of the material covenants and conditions to be performed or observed by such Ground Lessor. 

(c) Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform any obligations of Borrower or Owner under the terms of any
Ground Lease during the continuance of an Event of Default. All costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) so incurred, shall be treated as an advance secured by this Agreement, shall bear
interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of payment by Lender until paid in full and shall be paid by Borrower to Lender during the continuance of an Event of Default on demand. No performance by Lender of any obligations of Borrower or
Owner shall constitute a waiver of any Event of Default arising by reason of Borrower’s or Owner’s failure to perform the same. If Lender shall make any payment or perform any act or take action in accordance with this
Section 2.36(c), Lender will notify Borrower of the making of any such payment, the performance of any such act, or the taking of any such action. 
 (d) Borrower shall cause Owner to exercise each individual option, if any, to extend or renew the term of any Ground Lease not less than thirty (30) days prior to the last day upon which any
such option may be exercised (and in all events within five (5) days after demand by Lender made at any time within one (1) year of the last day upon which any such option may be exercised), and Borrower hereby expressly authorizes and
appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact to exercise any such option on behalf of Owner to so exercise such option if Borrower fails to cause Owner to exercise as herein required, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be
coupled with an interest. Borrower shall give Lender notice of Owner’s exercise of any such option to extend or renew the term of any Ground Lease within five (5) days of the exercise of any such option. 

(e) Subject to Mortgage Lender’s rights under the Mortgage Loan, Intermediate Mez Lender’s rights under the Intermediate
Mez Loan and Senior Mez Lender’s rights under the Senior Mez Loan, Borrower shall cause Owner to assign, transfer and set over to Lender all of Borrower’s claims and rights to the payment of damages arising from any rejection by any Ground
Lessor of any Ground Lease under the Bankruptcy Code. Borrower shall notify Lender promptly (and in any event within ten (10) days) of any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the rejection of any Ground Lease. Subject to Mortgage
Lender’s rights under the Mortgage Loan, Intermediate Mez Lender’s rights under the Intermediate Mez Loan and Senior Mez Lender’s rights under the Senior Mez Loan, the Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower’s
attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to file and prosecute, to the exclusion of Borrower, any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices and other documents, in any case in respect of any Ground Lessor
under the Bankruptcy Code during the continuance of an Event of Default. Borrower may make any compromise or settlement in connection with such proceedings (subject to Lender’s reasonable approval); provided, however,


  
 36 









 
that Lender, subject to Mortgage Lender’s rights under the Mortgage Loan, Intermediate Mez Lender’s rights under the Intermediate Mez Loan and Senior Mez Lender’s rights under the
Senior Mez Loan, shall be authorized and entitled to compromise or settle any such proceeding if such compromise or settlement is made after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Borrower shall promptly execute and
deliver to Lender any and all instruments reasonably required in connection with any such proceeding after request therefor by Lender. Except as set forth above, Borrower shall not, nor permit Owner to, adjust, compromise, settle or enter into any
agreement with respect to such proceedings without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 
 (f) Borrower shall not permit Owner to, without Lender’s prior written consent, elect to treat any Ground Lease as terminated under Section 365(h)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. Any such
election made without Lender’s prior written consent shall be void. 
 (g) If pursuant to Section 365(h)(2) of
the Bankruptcy Code, Owner seeks to offset against the rent reserved in any Ground Lease the amount of any damages caused by the non-performance by any Ground Lessor of any of such Ground Lessor’s obligations under the applicable Ground Lease
after the rejection by such Ground Lessor of the Ground Lease under the Bankruptcy Code, Borrower shall, prior to Owner effecting such offset, notify Lender of its intention to do so, setting forth the amounts proposed to be so offset and the basis
therefor. If Lender has failed to object as aforesaid within ten (10) days after notice from Borrower in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 2.35(g), Borrower may permit Owner to proceed to effect such offset in the amounts
set forth in Borrower’s notice. Neither Lender’s failure to object as aforesaid nor any objection or other communication between Lender and Borrower relating to such offset shall constitute an approval of any such offset by Lender.
Borrower shall indemnify and save Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, damages, losses, costs and expenses of every nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’
fees and disbursements) arising from or relating to any such offset by Owner against the rent reserved in the Ground Lease. 

(h) Borrower shall immediately, after obtaining knowledge thereof, notify Lender of any filing by or against any Ground Lessor of a
petition under the Bankruptcy Code. Borrower shall thereafter forthwith give written notice of such filing to Lender, setting forth any information available to Borrower or Owner as to the date of such filing, the court in which such petition was
filed, and the relief sought therein. Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender following receipt any and all notices, summonses, pleadings, applications and other documents received by Borrower or Owner in connection with any such petition and any
proceedings relating thereto. 
 (i) Borrower shall, and shall cause Owner to, perform all other covenants with respect to
any Ground Lease as set forth in the Mortgage for so long as any portion of the Debt remains outstanding (regardless of whether the Mortgage Loan remains outstanding). 
 ARTICLE III. EVENTS OF DEFAULT/REMEDIES 
 Section 3.01. Events of
Default. The Loan shall become immediately due at the option of Lender upon any one or more of the following events (“Event of Default”):

paid on Maturity; 
 (b) if any monthly payment of interest and/or principal due under the Note (other than the sums
described in (a) above) shall not be fully paid on the date upon which the same is due and payable thereunder; provided, that the failure of any such amount to be paid when due shall not be an Event of Default if adequate funds were on deposit
in the Lockbox Account (or would have been on deposit therein if Lender had timely allocated such funds thereto from the Lockbox Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.27 hereof); 

(c) if payment of any sum (other than the sums described in (a) above or (b) above) required to be paid pursuant to the

Borrower, Senior Mez Borrower, Owner, Operating Tenant or Guarantor is a limited liability company, any member of Borrower, Intermediate Mez Borrower, Senior Mez Borrower, Owner, Operating Tenant or Guarantor, shall institute or cause to be

shall result in the transfer of direct interests in Owner, Intermediate Mez Borrower or Senior Mez Borrower) occurs other than in accordance with the provisions hereof; 
 (g) if any representation or warranty of Borrower, Intermediate Mez Borrower, Senior Mez Borrower, Owner or Guarantor made herein or in any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report,
financial statement or other instrument or agreement furnished to Lender shall prove false or misleading in any material respect, as of the date made; provided, however, that if such representation or warranty which was false or misleading in any
material respect is, by its nature, curable and is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, and such representation or warranty was not, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, false or misleading in any material respect when made,
then the same shall not constitute an Event of Default unless Borrower has not cured the same within five (5) Business Days after receipt by Borrower of notice from Lender in writing of such breach; 

  
 38 









 (h) if Borrower, Intermediate Mez Borrower, Senior Mez Borrower, Owner, Operating

Tenant, Guarantor or their respective general partners, as applicable, upon the same not being discharged, stayed or dismissed within ninety (90) days or if Borrower, Intermediate Mez Borrower, Senior Mez Borrower, Owner, Operating Tenant,
Guarantor or their respective general partners shall generally not be paying its debts as they become due; 
 (j) if
Borrower consummates a transaction which would cause this Agreement or Lender’s rights under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document to constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or result in a violation of a state
statute regulating government plans subjecting Lender to liability for a violation of ERISA or a state statute; 
 (k) if a
default by Borrower or Owner beyond applicable notice and grace periods, if any, occurs under the Franchise Agreement or Operating Lease, or if the Franchise Agreement or Operating Lease is terminated, or if, without Lender’s prior written
consent, there is a material change to the Franchise Agreement or Operating Lease unless, with respect to any default under or termination of the Franchise Agreement, Borrower or Owner enters into a replacement Franchise Agreement within thirty

granted pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall cease to be in full force and effect or shall not be enforceable or shall not be of the effect or have the priority stated herein or therein for such pledge or security
interest; or

Agreement or any other Loan Document, other than as set forth in (a) through (m) above, for ten (10) days after notice from Lender in the case of any default which can be cured by the payment of a sum of money, or for thirty
(30) days after notice from Lender in the case of any other default or an additional ninety (90) days if Borrower is diligently and continuously effectuating a cure of a curable non-monetary default, other than as set forth in

 Section 3.02. Remedies. (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of any Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it hereunder or under any other Loan Document, at law or in equity, take such action, without notice or demand, as it reasonably deems advisable to protect
and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the Collateral, including, but not limited to, the following actions, each of which may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine, in
its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting any other rights and remedies of Lender hereunder, at law or in equity: (i) declare all or any portion of the unpaid Loan to be immediately due and payable; provided, however, that
upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 3.01(i), the entire Loan will be immediately due and payable without notice or demand or any other declaration of the amounts due and payable; or (ii) bring an action to
foreclose this Agreement and thereupon Lender may (A) exercise all rights and powers of Borrower with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof, whether in the name of Borrower or otherwise and (B) apply the receipts from the
Collateral to the payment of the Debt, after deducting therefrom all expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and all applicable transfer taxes) reasonably incurred in connection therewith, as well
as just and reasonable compensation for the services of Lender’s third-party agents; or (iii) sell the Collateral or institute proceedings for the complete foreclosure of this Agreement, or take such other action as may be allowed pursuant
to Legal Requirements, at law or in equity, for the enforcement of this Agreement; or (iv) pursue any or all such other rights or remedies as Lender may have under applicable law or in equity (including, without limitation, all rights and
remedies to a secured party under the UCC); provided, however, that the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to extend or modify any of the notice requirements or grace periods provided for hereunder or under any of the other Loan
Documents. 
 (b) In addition to the remedies described in subsection (a) above, if any Event of Default shall occur,
so long as such Event of Default shall be continuing, (i) Lender and/or its nominees or designees shall have the right to receive any and all dividends, payments or Distributions paid with respect to the Equity Interests and the other
Collateral, as applicable, and make application thereof in accordance with this Agreement (and any dividends and other payments received in trust by Borrower for the benefit of Lender shall be segregated from the other funds of Borrower) and
(ii) at Lender’s election, all Equity Interests shall be transferred to Lender and/or one (1) or more nominee(s) or designee(s) thereof, and Lender and/or such nominee(s) or designee(s) may in the name of Borrower or in Lender’s
and/or such 

  
 40 









 
nominee’s(s’) or designee’s(s’) own name, collect all payments and assets due Borrower pursuant to the Equity Interests and/or the applicable Organizational Documents, and
Lender and/or such nominee(s) or designee(s) may thereafter exercise (A) all voting and other rights pertaining to the Equity Interests and/or the other Collateral under the Organizational Documents, and (B) any and all rights of
conversion, exchange, subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to the Equity Interests as if they were the absolute owners thereof (including the right to exchange at their discretion any and all of the Equity Interests
upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other change in the structure of any Corporation, LLC or Partnership), or upon the exercise by Borrower or Lender and/or such nominee(s) or designee(s) of any right, privilege or
option pertaining to such Equity Interests, and, in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver evidences of the Equity Interests with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency (upon such terms and
conditions as they may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by them, but neither Lender nor any such nominee or designee shall have any duty to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not
be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. Further, unless and until Lender and/or such nominee(s) or designee(s) succeeds to actual ownership thereof, pursuant to the exercise of Lender’s remedies described in subsection
(a) above, neither Lender nor any such nominee or designee shall be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability in connection with the Equity Interests or the other Collateral. The rights of Lender hereunder shall not be
conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by Lender of any other right or remedy against Borrower or any guarantor of any of the Debt, or against any other Person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Debt or against
any other collateral security therefor, guarantee thereof or right of offset with respect thereto. Neither Lender nor any of its nominees or designees shall be liable for any failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the
Collateral or for any delay in doing so, nor shall they be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Borrower or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or
any part thereof. 
 (c) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, at its
election, and in addition to any other remedies available hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, no such duty being imposed hereby, pay, purchase, contest or compromise any encumbrance, charge or lien which is prior or superior to its
security interest in the Collateral and pay all expenses incurred therewith (any payment or expense so incurred shall be deemed a part of the Debt and shall be immediately due and payable and secured hereby), all of which shall be deemed authorized
by Borrower. All such expenses not paid when due shall accrue interest at the Default Rate. 
 (d) Without limiting the
generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, Lender is hereby authorized by Borrower, but not obligated, in the event of any Event of Default hereunder giving rise to Lender’s rights to sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, and
after the giving of any notices required herein, to sell all or any part of the Collateral at private sale, subject to an investment letter or in any other manner which will not require the Collateral, or any part thereof, to be registered in
accordance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or other applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any other law or regulation, at the best price reasonably obtainable by Lender at
any such private sale or other disposition in the manner mentioned above, and Borrower specifically acknowledges that 

  
 41 









 
any such disposition shall be commercially reasonable under the UCC even though any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale
without such restrictions, and agrees that Lender shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of
public sale required by registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should agree to, so register it. Lender is also hereby authorized by Borrower, but not obligated, to take such
actions, give such notices, obtain such consents, and do such other things as Lender may deem required or appropriate in the event of a sale or disposition of any of the Collateral. If Lender determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of
the Collateral, upon written request, Borrower shall and shall cause each issuer of any Pledged Interests or other Equity Interests owned by Borrower to be sold hereunder from time to time to furnish to Lender all such information as Lender may
request in order to determine the number of shares and other instruments included in the Collateral which may be sold by Lender in exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect. Borrower clearly understands that Lender may at its discretion approach a restricted number of potential purchasers and that a sale under such circumstances may yield a lower price for the
Collateral, or any part or parts thereof, than would otherwise be obtainable if same were registered and sold in the open market. Borrower agrees: (i) in the event Lender shall, upon an Event of Default hereunder, sell the Collateral, or any
portion thereof, at such private sale or sales, Lender shall have the right to rely upon the advice and opinion of any member firm of the National Security Exchange as to the best price reasonably obtainable upon such private sale thereof; and
(ii) that such reliance shall be conclusive evidence that Lender handled such matter in a commercially reasonable manner under the UCC. 
 (e) In order to permit Lender to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant to this Agreement and to receive all dividends and other Distributions
which it may be entitled to receive under this Agreement, (i) Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to Lender all such proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as Lender may from time
to time reasonably request and (ii) WITHOUT LIMITING THE EFFECT OF THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING CLAUSE (i), BORROWER HEREBY GRANTS TO LENDER AN IRREVOCABLE PROXY TO VOTE THE PLEDGED INTERESTS AND OTHER EQUITY INTERESTS PLEDGED BY BORROWER AND
TO EXERCISE ALL OTHER RIGHTS, POWERS, PRIVILEGES AND REMEDIES TO WHICH A HOLDER OF THE PLEDGED INTERESTS OR OTHER EQUITY INTERESTS WOULD BE ENTITLED (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION GIVING OR WITHHOLDING WRITTEN CONSENTS OF SHAREHOLDERS, MEMBERS OR
PARTNERS, AS APPLICABLE, CALLING SPECIAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS, MEMBERS OR PARTNERS, AS APPLICABLE, AND VOTING AT SUCH MEETINGS), WHICH PROXY IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND SHALL BE EFFECTIVE, AUTOMATICALLY AND WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF ANY
ACTION (INCLUDING ANY TRANSFER OF ANY PLEDGED INTERESTS ON THE RECORD BOOKS OF THE ISSUER THEREOF) BY ANY OTHER PERSON (INCLUDING THE ISSUER OF THE PLEDGED INTERESTS OR ANY OFFICER OR AGENT THEREOF), UPON THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF
AN EVENT OF DEFAULT AND WHICH PROXY SHALL ONLY TERMINATE UPON THE PAYMENT IN FULL OF THE DEBT OTHER THAN THE SURVIVING OBLIGATIONS (WHICH, HOWEVER, SHALL REMAIN SUBJECT TO THE PREFERENTIAL PAYMENT PROVISIONS).  

  
 42 









 (f) Any time after an Event of Default Lender shall have the power to sell the
Collateral or any part thereof at public auction, in such manner, at such time and place, upon such terms and conditions, and upon such public notice as Lender may deem best for the interest of Lender, or as may be required or permitted by
applicable law, consisting of advertisement in a newspaper of general circulation in the jurisdiction and for such period as applicable law may require and at such other times and by such other methods, if any, as may be required by law to convey
the Collateral to and at the cost of the purchaser, who shall not be liable to see to the application of the purchase money. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the proceeds or avails of any sale made
under or by virtue of this Section, together with any other sums which then may be held by Lender under this Agreement, whether under the provisions of this Section or otherwise, shall be applied as follows: 

First: To the payment of the third-party costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with any such sale (including, without
limitation, any transfer taxes) and to advances, fees and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of Lender’s legal counsel as applicable, and of any judicial proceedings wherein the same may be made, and of all
expenses, liabilities and advances reasonably made or incurred by Lender under this Agreement, together with interest as provided herein on all such advances made by Lender; 
 Second: To the payment of the whole amount then due, owing and unpaid under the Note for principal and interest thereon, with interest on such unpaid principal at the Default Rate from the date of the
occurrence of the earliest Event of Default that formed a basis for such sale until the same is paid; 
 Third: To the payment
of any other portion of the Loan required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, the Note, or any of the other Loan Documents; and 
 Fourth: The surplus, if any, to Borrower unless otherwise required by Legal Requirements. 
 Lender
and any receiver or custodian of the Collateral or any part thereof shall be liable to account for only those rents, issues, proceeds and profits, as applicable, actually received by it. 

(g) Lender may adjourn from time to time any sale by it to be made under or by virtue of this Agreement by announcement at the time
and place appointed for such sale or for such adjourned sale or sales and, except as otherwise provided by any applicable provision of Legal Requirements, Lender, without further notice or publication, may make such sale at the time and place to
which the same shall be so adjourned. 

  
 43 









 (h) Upon the completion of any sale or sales made by Lender under or by virtue of this
Section, Lender, or any officer of any court empowered to do so, shall execute and deliver to the accepted purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient instrument, or good and sufficient instruments, granting, conveying, assigning and transferring
all estate, right, title and interest in and to the Collateral. Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of Borrower (coupled with an interest), in its name and stead, to make all necessary conveyances,
assignments, transfers and deliveries and for that purpose Lender may execute all necessary instruments of conveyance, assignment, transfer and delivery, and may substitute one or more Persons with like power, Borrower hereby ratifying and
confirming all that its said attorney-in-fact or such substitute or substitutes shall lawfully do by virtue hereof. Nevertheless, Borrower, if so requested by Lender, shall ratify and confirm any such sale or sales by executing and delivering to
Lender, or to such purchaser or purchasers all such instruments as may be advisable, in the sole judgment of Lender, for such purpose, and as may be designated in such request. Any such sale or sales made under or by virtue of this Section shall
operate to divest all the estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, of Borrower in and to the Collateral, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted under Legal Requirements, be a perpetual bar, both
at law and in equity against Borrower and against any and all Persons claiming or who may claim the same, or any part thereof, from, through or under Borrower. 
 (i) In the event of any sale made under or by virtue of this Section, the entire Loan immediately thereupon shall, anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, become due and
payable. 
 (j) Upon any sale made under or by virtue of this Section (whether made under the power of sale herein granted
or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale), Lender may bid for and acquire the Collateral or any part thereof and in lieu of paying cash therefor may make settlement for the purchase price by
crediting upon the Loan the net sales price after deducting therefrom the expenses of the sale (including, without limitation, transfer taxes) and the costs of the action. 
 (k) No recovery of any judgment by Lender and no levy of an execution under any judgment upon the Collateral or upon any other property of Borrower shall release the lien of this Agreement upon the
Collateral or any part thereof, or any liens, rights, powers or remedies of Lender hereunder, but such liens, rights, powers and remedies of Lender shall continue unimpaired until all amounts due under the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents are paid in full. 
 (l) Upon the exercise by Lender of any power, right, privilege, or remedy pursuant to this
Agreement which requires any consent, approval, registration, qualification, or authorization of any Governmental Authority, Borrower agrees to execute and deliver, or will cause the execution and delivery of, all applications, certificates,
instruments, assignments and other documents and papers that Lender or any purchaser of the Collateral may be required to obtain for such governmental consent, approval, registration, qualification, or authorization and Lender is hereby irrevocably
appointed the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of Borrower (coupled with an interest), in its name and stead, to execute all such applications, certificates, instruments, assignments and other documents and papers. 

  
 44 









 (m) Lender may comply with any applicable Legal Requirements in connection with the
disposition of the Collateral, and Lender’s compliance therewith will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. 
 (n) Lender may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. Lender may specifically disclaim any warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment or the like. This
procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. 
 (o) If
Lender sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Borrower will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Lender and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser of the Collateral fails to
fully pay for the Collateral, Lender may resell the Collateral and Borrower will be credited with the proceeds of such sale. 

Section 3.03. No Conditions Precedent to Exercise of Lender’s Remedies. Borrower waives any and all legal requirements
that Lender institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity against Borrower or any other party or exhaust its remedies against Borrower or any other party in respect of any other security held by Lender for the Debt or any portion thereof as
a condition precedent to exercising its right and remedies pursuant to this Agreement. 
 Section 3.04. Additional
Security. Borrower authorizes Lender without notice or demand and without affecting its liability under this Agreement or under the Note (i) to take and hold security in addition to the security interest in the Collateral granted by
Borrower to Lender pursuant to this Agreement, for the payment of the Debt or any part thereof, and to exchange, waive or release any such other security and (ii) to release or substitute Borrower. 

Section 3.05. Rights and Remedies Continue. Until the Debt shall have been paid in full, all rights, powers and remedies
granted to Lender under this Agreement shall continue to exist and may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time irrespective of the fact that the Debt or any part thereof may have become barred by any statute of limitations or that
the liability of Borrower therefor may have ceased. 
 Section 3.06. Right to Terminate Proceedings. Lender may
terminate or rescind any proceeding or other action brought in connection with its exercise of the remedies provided in Section 3.02 at any time before the conclusion thereof, as determined in Lender’s sole discretion and without prejudice
to Lender. 
 Section 3.07. No Waiver or Release. The failure of Lender to exercise any right, remedy or option
provided in the Loan Documents shall not be deemed a waiver of such right, remedy or option or of any covenant or obligation contained in the Loan Documents. No acceptance by Lender of any payment after the occurrence of an Event of Default and no
payment by Lender of any payment or obligation for which Borrower is liable hereunder shall be deemed to waive or cure any Event of Default. No sale of all or any portion of the Collateral, no forbearance on the part of Lender, and no extension of
time for the payment of the whole or any portion of the Loan or any other indulgence given by Lender to Borrower or any other Person, shall operate to release or in any manner affect the interest of Lender in the Collateral or the liability of
Borrower to pay the Loan. No waiver by Lender shall be effective unless it is in writing and then only to the extent specifically stated. 

  
 45 









 Section 3.08. Payment of Debt After Default. If following the occurrence of any
Event of Default, Borrower shall tender payment of an amount sufficient to satisfy the Debt in whole or in part at any time prior to a UCC sale of the Collateral, and if at the time of such tender prepayment of the principal balance of the Note is
not permitted by the Note and this Agreement, Borrower shall, in addition to the entire Debt, also pay to Lender a sum equal to interest which would have accrued on the principal balance of the Note at an interest rate equal to the LIBOR Margin for
the Note plus the greater of (x) the then current LIBOR Rate and (y) the then current average yield for “This Week” as published by the Federal Reserve Board during the most recent full week preceding the date on which Borrower
tenders such payment in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) for instruments having a ten (10) year maturity, from the date of such tender to the earlier of (a) the Maturity Date or (b) the first day of the period
during which prepayment of the principal balance of the Note would have been permitted together with a prepayment consideration equal to the prepayment consideration which would have been payable as of the first day of the period during which
prepayment would have been permitted. If at the time of such tender, prepayment of the principal balance of the Note is permitted, such tender by Borrower shall be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment of the principal balance of the Note and Borrower
shall, in addition to the entire Debt, also pay to Lender the applicable prepayment consideration specified in the Note and this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender acknowledges that the Loan may be prepaid at any time in accordance
with the terms of Section 6.01 hereof. 
 Section 3.09. No Impairment; No Releases. The interests and rights of
Lender under the Loan Documents shall not be impaired by any indulgence, including (a) any renewal, extension or modification which Lender may grant with respect to the Loan; (b) any surrender, compromise, release, renewal, extension,
exchange or substitution which Lender may grant with respect to the Loan Documents or any portion thereof; or (c) any release or indulgence granted to any maker, endorser, or surety of the Loan. 

Section 3.10. Interest After Default. If any amount due under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is
not paid within any applicable notice and grace period after same is due, whether such date is the stated due date, any accelerated due date or any other date or at any other time specified under any of the terms hereof or thereof, then, in such
event, Borrower shall pay interest on the amount not so paid from and after the date on which such amount first becomes due at the Default Rate; and such interest shall be due and payable at such rate until the earlier of the cure of all Events of
Default or the payment of the entire amount due to Lender, whether or not any action shall have been taken or proceeding commenced to recover the same or to foreclose this Agreement. All unpaid and accrued interest shall be secured by this Agreement
as part of the Debt. Nothing in this Section or in any other provision of this Agreement shall constitute an extension of the time for payment of the Debt. 
 Section 3.11. Late Payment Charge. If any portion of the Debt (other than the principal portion of the Debt due on Maturity) is not paid in full on or before the date on which it is due and
payable hereunder, Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount equal to five percent (5%) of such unpaid portion of the Debt (“Late Charge”) to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent
payment, and such amount shall constitute a part of the Debt. 

  
 46 









 Section 3.12. Recovery of Sums Required To Be Paid. Lender shall have the right
from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which constitute a part of the Debt as the same become due and payable hereunder (after the expiration of any grace period or the giving of any notice herein provided, if any), without
regard to whether or not the balance of the Debt shall be due, and without prejudice to the right of Lender thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action, for a default or defaults by Borrower existing at the time such earlier
action was commenced. 
 Section 3.13. Control By Lender After Default. Notwithstanding the appointment of any
custodian, receiver, liquidator or trustee of Borrower, or of any of its property, or of the Collateral or any part thereof, to the extent permitted by Legal Requirements, Lender shall be entitled to obtain possession and control of all Collateral.

 ARTICLE IV. INDEMNIFICATION 
 Section 4.01. Indemnification Covering Property. In addition, and without limitation, to any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Borrower shall protect, indemnify and
save harmless Lender and its successors and assigns, and each of their agents, employees, officers, directors, stockholders, partners and members (collectively, “Indemnified Parties”) for, from and against any claims, demands,
penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, known or unknown, contingent or otherwise, whether incurred or imposed within or outside the judicial process, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties by reason of (a) ownership of this Agreement or the Collateral; (b) any accident, injury to or death of any
person or loss of or damage to property occurring in, on or about the Premises or the Collateral or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, parking areas, streets or ways; (c) any use, nonuse or condition in, on or about, or
possession, alteration, repair, operation, maintenance or management of, the Premises or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, parking areas, streets or ways; (d) any failure on the part of Borrower to perform or comply with
any of the terms of this Agreement; (e) performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Premises or any part thereof; (f) any claim by brokers, finders or similar Persons claiming
to be entitled to a commission in connection with any Lease or other transaction involving the Premises or any part thereof; (g) any Imposition including, without limitation, any Imposition attributable to the execution, delivery, filing, or
recording of any Loan Document, Lease or memorandum thereof; (h) any lien or claim arising on or against the Premises or any part thereof under any Legal Requirement or any liability asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties with respect
thereto; (i) any claim arising out of or in any way relating to any tax or other imposition on the making and/or recording of this Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents; (j) a Default under Sections 2.02(f), 2.02(g),
2.02(k) or 2.02(s) hereof, (k) the failure of any Person to file timely with the Internal Revenue Service an accurate Form 1099-B, Statement for Recipients of Proceeds from Real Estate, Broker and Barter Exchange Transactions, which may be
required in connection with the Loan, or to supply a copy thereof in a timely fashion to the recipient of the proceeds of the Loan; (l) the claims of any lessee or any Person acting through or under any lessee or otherwise arising under or as a
consequence of any 

  
 47 









 
Lease; or (m) the actual or alleged presence, disposal, escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission, release or threat of release of any Hazardous Materials in, on, over, under,
from or affecting the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section to the contrary, Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Section for liabilities, obligations, claims, damages,
penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses relative to the foregoing which result from Lender’s, and its successors’ or assigns’, willful misconduct or gross negligence or with respect to matters which first occur after Lender
has taken title to the Property through a foreclosure or delivery of a deed in lieu thereof. Any amounts payable to Lender by reason of the application of this Section shall constitute a part of the Loan secured by this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and shall become immediately due and payable and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date the liability, obligation, claim, cost or expense is sustained by Lender, as applicable, until paid. The provisions of this Section
shall survive the termination of this Agreement whether by repayment of the Loan, foreclosure of this Agreement, assignment or otherwise. In case any action, suit or proceeding is brought against any of the Indemnified Parties by reason of any
occurrence of the type set forth in (a) through (m) above, Borrower shall, at Borrower’s expense, resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding or will cause the same to be resisted and defended by counsel at Borrower’s
expense for the insurer of the liability or by counsel designated by Borrower (unless reasonably disapproved by Lender promptly after Lender has been notified of such counsel); provided, however, that nothing herein shall compromise
the right of Lender (or any other Indemnified Party) to appoint its own counsel at Borrower’s expense for its defense with respect to any action which, in the reasonable opinion of Lender or such other Indemnified Party, as applicable, presents
a conflict or potential conflict between Lender or such other Indemnified Party that would make such separate representation advisable. Any Indemnified Party will give Borrower prompt notice after such Indemnified Party obtains actual knowledge of
any potential claim by such Indemnified Party for indemnification hereunder. The Indemnified Parties shall not settle or compromise any action, proceeding or claim as to which it is indemnified hereunder without notice to Borrower. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing and Borrower is resisting and defending such action, suit or proceeding as provided above in a prudent and commercially reasonable manner, in order to obtain the benefit of this
Section 4.01 with respect to such action, suit or proceeding, Lender and the Indemnified Parties agree that they shall not settle such action, suit or proceeding without obtaining Borrower’s consent which Borrower agrees not to
unreasonably withhold, condition or delay; provided, however, (x) if Borrower is not diligently defending such action, suit or proceeding in a prudent and commercially reasonable manner as provided above and Lender has provided
Borrower with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, or shorter period if mandated by the requirements of the applicable law, and Borrower has failed to correct such failure, or (y) failure to settle could, in Lender’s
reasonable judgment, expose Lender to criminal liability, Lender may settle such action, suit or proceeding without the consent of Borrower and be entitled to the benefits of this Section 4.01 with respect to the settlement of such action, suit
or proceeding 
 ARTICLE V. SECURITY AGREEMENT 
 Section 5.01. Security Agreement. (a) This Agreement is a “security agreement” within the meaning of the UCC. If an Event of Default shall occur, Lender, in addition to any
other rights and remedies which it may have, shall have and may exercise immediately and without demand, any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the UCC, 


  
 48 









 
including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Lender may deem necessary for
the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral. Upon request or demand of Lender following an Event of Default, Borrower shall, at its expense, assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a convenient place acceptable to
Lender. Borrower shall pay to Lender on demand any and all expenses, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees and all transfer taxes, incurred or paid by Lender in protecting its interest in the Collateral and in enforcing its
rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Lender with respect to the Collateral given to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) days prior to such
action shall constitute reasonable notice to Borrower. 
 (b) Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its
attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to file with the appropriate public office on its behalf any financing or other statements signed only by Lender, as secured party, or, to the extent permitted under the UCC, unsigned, in connection with
the Collateral covered by this Agreement. Such financing statements may, at the option of Lender, describe the Collateral as “all assets” or “all personal property” of Borrower. 

(c) Borrower will furnish to Lender from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and
such other reports in connection with the Collateral as Lender may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail. 
 (d) The
powers conferred on Lender hereunder are solely to protect Lender’s interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting
for moneys actually received by it hereunder, Lender shall have no duty (and neither Lender nor any of its partners, members, officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Borrower for any act or failure to act) as to any
Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Collateral, whether or not Lender has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the
taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if
such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property. 
 ARTICLE VI. PREPAYMENT

 Section 6.01. Prepayment. (a) Except as set forth in Section 6.01(b) hereof, no prepayment of the
Debt may be made in whole or in part. 
 (b) At any time, Borrower may prepay the Loan, in whole or in part, as of the last
day of an Interest Accrual Period, it being acknowledged that Borrower may prepay the Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Accrual Period, provided that Borrower pays all interest which would otherwise be due to Lender through the
end of such Interest Accrual Period, in accordance with the following provisions: 

  
 49 









 (i) Lender shall have received from Borrower, not less than thirty
(30) days’, nor more than ninety (90) days’, prior written notice specifying the date proposed for such prepayment and the amount which is to be prepaid (which notice shall be revocable by Borrower up to two (2) times during
the term of the Loan by giving Lender not less than one (1) Business Day prior written notice of such revocation, provided that Borrower shall remain obligated to pay Lender’s costs and expenses including, without limitation, breakage
costs incurred by Lender in connection with such revocation). 
 (ii) Borrower shall also pay to Lender all interest due
through and including the last day of the Interest Accrual Period in which such prepayment is being made, together with any and all other amounts due and owing pursuant to the terms of the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

 (iii) Any partial prepayment shall be in a minimum amount not less than $25,000 and shall be in whole multiples of
$1,000 in excess thereof. 
 (iv) Any partial prepayment of the Principal Amount, including, without limitation,
Unscheduled Payments, shall be applied to the installments of principal last due hereunder and shall not release or relieve Borrower from the obligation to pay the regularly scheduled installments of principal and interest becoming due under the
Note. 
 (v) Borrower shall pay to Lender, together with such prepayment and all other amounts due in connection therewith,
a non-refundable amount which shall be deemed earned by Lender upon the funding of the Loan and shall not count to or be credited to payment of the Principal Amount, any interest thereon or any other amounts payable under the Note, this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Document, equal to .70% of the Principal Amount being repaid if such prepayment occurs prior to the Payment Date occurring in November, 2007 and .50% of the Principal Amount being prepaid if the prepayment occurs on or after
the Payment Date occurring in November, 2007 but prior to the Payment occurring in April, 2008. The Loan may be prepaid after the Payment Date occurring in April, 2008 without such additional fee or charge, provided, however, that a portion of the
Principal Amount not to exceed $14,438,820 in the aggregate may be prepaid at any time without payment of any sum otherwise due under this clause 6.01(b)(v) and a portion of the Principal Amount up to $43,233,000 in the aggregate may be prepaid on
or prior to the Payment Date occurring in May, 2007 without payment of any sums otherwise due under this clause 6.01(b)(v) if the Loan is prepaid with the proceeds of a fixed rate mortgage loan secured by one or more Cross-collateralized Properties
made by Wachovia Bank, National Association.

CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE AND ANY APPLICABLE LAW OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 
 Section 7.13.
Actions and Proceedings. Lender has the right to appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Collateral in its own name or, if required by Legal Requirements or, if in Lender’s reasonable judgment, it is
necessary, in the name and on behalf of Borrower, which Lender believes will adversely affect the Collateral or this Agreement and to bring any action or proceedings, in its name or in the name and on behalf of Borrower, which Lender, in its
discretion, decides should be brought to protect its interest in the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

Section 7.14. Usury Laws. This Agreement and the Note are subject to the express condition, and it is the expressed intent of
the parties, that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance due under the Note at a rate which could subject the holder of the Note to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in
excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower is permitted by law to contract or agree to pay. If by the terms of this Agreement or the Note, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due under the
Note at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, such rate of interest shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and the interest payable shall be computed at such maximum rate and all prior interest payments in excess of such
maximum rate shall be applied and shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of the principal balance of the Note. No application to the principal balance of the Note pursuant to this Section shall give rise to any requirement to pay any
prepayment fee or charge of any kind due hereunder, if any.

a claim or adjudication is made that Lender has acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under the Note, this Agreement or the Loan Documents, it has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Lender shall not

unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon this Agreement or the Note and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim
or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower. 
 Section 7.17. Restoration of
Rights. In case Lender shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Agreement and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely, then, in every such case, Borrower and
Lender shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral subject to the lien hereof.

extent permitted by Legal Requirements.

made pursuant to the Loan Documents, rearrangements and renewals of the Loan and all extensions in the time of payment thereof, even though such advances, extensions or renewals be evidenced by new promissory notes or other instruments hereafter
executed and irrespective of whether filed or recorded. Likewise, the execution of this Agreement shall not impair or affect any other security which may be given to secure the payment of the Loan, and all such additional security shall be
considered as cumulative. The taking of additional security, execution of partial releases of the security, or any extension of time of payment of the Loan shall not diminish the force, effect or lien of this Agreement and shall not affect or impair
the liability of Borrower and shall not affect or impair the liability of any maker, surety, or endorser for the payment of the Loan.

of Lender under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or applicable Legal Requirements, or a consent to any extension of time for the payment or performance of any obligation with respect to which the Default Rate may be invoked. 

Section 7.21. Intervening Lien. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any agreement hereafter made pursuant to this
Agreement shall be superior to the rights of the holder of any intervening lien. 
 Section 7.22. No Joint Venture or
Partnership. Borrower and Lender intend that the relationship created hereunder be solely that of pledgor and pledgee or borrower and lender, as the case may be. Nothing herein is intended to create a joint venture or partnership relationship
between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Collateral other than that of pledgee or lender. 

Section 7.23. Time of the Essence. Time shall be of the essence in the performance of all obligations of Borrower hereunder.

or delayed. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Borrower shall be authorized to provide information relating to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, or to Lender or to any of its Affiliates, to rating
agencies, underwriters, potential securities investors, auditors, regulatory authorities and to any Persons which may be entitled to such information by operation of law and without limiting the foregoing to issue press releases and make Form 8-K

sole and absolute discretion and on terms and conditions satisfactory to Lender in its sole and absolute discretion. Borrower and all Affiliates of Borrower shall cooperate in all respects with Lender in connection with the sale of participation
interests in, or the pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance or sale of all or any portion of, the Loan, and shall, in connection therewith, execute and deliver such estoppels, certificates, instruments and documents as may be reasonably requested by

participation interest in the Loan, or who has purchased the Loan, or who has made a loan to Lender secured by the Loan or who has expressed an interest in purchasing a participation interest in the Loan, or expressed an interest in purchasing the
Loan or the making of a loan to Lender secured by the Loan. If requested by Lender, Borrower shall execute and deliver, and shall cause each Affiliate of Borrower to execute and deliver, at no cost or expense to Borrower, such documents and

interests in the Loan or the sale of the Loan or the making of a loan to Lender secured by the Loan, it being agreed that (a) the Loan Documents securing the Loan as so split will have such priority of lien as may be specified by Lender and
(b) the retained interest of Lender in the Loan as so split shall be allocated to or among one or more of such separate loans in a manner specified by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion, (c) the aggregate principal amount of such
separate loans shall equal the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to the creation of such separate loans, (d) the weighted average interest rate of all such separate notes shall on the date created equal the interest

average interest rates of the separate notes may increase (i.e. the Loan may have “rate creep”)), (e) the debt service payments on all such separate notes shall on the date created equal the debt service payment which was and would be
due under the Loan immediately prior to the creation of such separate notes (it being acknowledged that if an Event of Default occurs during the term of the Loan, whether or not it is subsequently cured, the weighted average interest rates of the
separate notes may increase (i.e. the Loan may have “rate creep”)) and (f) the other terms and provisions of each of the separate notes shall be identical in substance and substantially similar in form to the Loan Documents. From and
after the effective date of any assignment of all or any portion of the Loan to any Person (an “Assignee”) (a) such Assignee shall be a party hereto and to each of the other Loan Documents to the extent of the applicable
percentage or percentages assigned to such Assignee and, except as otherwise specified herein, shall succeed to the rights and 

  
 56 









 
obligations of Lender hereunder in respect of such applicable percentage or percentages and (b) Lender shall relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations hereunder and under
the Loan Documents to the extent of such applicable percentage or percentages. The liabilities of Lender and each of the other Assignees shall be separate and not joint and several. Neither Lender nor any Assignee shall be responsible for the
obligations of any other Assignee. Borrower acknowledges that the information provided by Borrower to Lender may be incorporated into the offering documents for a Securitization and to the fullest extent permitted, Borrower irrevocably waives all
rights, if any, to prohibit such disclosures including, without limitation, any right of privacy. Lender and each Rating Agency shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied by, or on behalf of, Borrower and Borrower indemnifies Lender as to
any liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses, (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses, whether incurred within or outside the judicial process) that arise out of
or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such information or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such
information or necessary in order to make the statements in such information, or in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 
 (c) Lender, at its option, may elect to effect a Securitization by means of the issuance of certificates of interest therein or notes secured thereby (the “Securities”) rated by one
or more Rating Agencies. In such event and upon request by Lender to seek to effect such a Securitization, Borrower shall promptly thereafter cooperate in all reasonable respects with Lender in the Securitization including, without limitation,
providing such information as may be requested in connection with the preparation of a private placement memorandum or registration statement required to privately place or publicly distribute the Securities in a manner which does not conflict with
federal or state securities laws. 
 Section 7.28. Expenses. Borrower shall reimburse Lender upon receipt of notice

any payments due from Borrower, Intermediate Mez Borrower, Senior Mez Borrower, or Owner under any Loan Document or with respect to the Collateral, the Premises or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the Loan in the nature of a

losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees, whether or not suit is brought, and
settlement costs), and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Lender as a result of the foregoing actions described in Section 7.29(a) or (b) except to the extent they are
caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. Lender shall have no obligation to Borrower, Owner or any other Person to make any such payment or performance. 
 (d) If Lender shall receive a copy of any notice of default under the Mortgage Loan Documents sent by Mortgage Lender to Owner or under the Intermediate Mez Loan Documents sent by Intermediate Mez
Lender to Intermediate Mez Borrower or under the Senior Mez Loan Documents sent by Senior Mez Lender to Senior Mez Borrower, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender, in good faith,
in reliance thereon. As a material inducement to Lender’s making the Loan, Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally releases and waives all claims against Lender arising out of Lender’s exercise of its rights and remedies provided in

that (a) the risks of Mortgage Lender in making the Mortgage Loan, the risks of Intermediate Mez Lender in making the Intermediate Mez Loan and the risks of Senior Mez Lender in making the Senior Mez Loan are different from the risks of Lender
in making the Loan, (b) in determining whether to grant, deny, withhold or condition any requested consent or approval Mortgage Lender, Intermediate Mez Lender, Senior Mez Lender and Lender may reasonably reach different conclusions, and
(c) Lender has an absolute independent right to grant, deny, withhold or condition any requested consent or approval based on its own point of view in accordance with the terms hereof. Further, the denial by Lender of a requested consent or
approval in accordance with the Loan Documents shall not create any liability or other obligation of Lender if the denial of such consent or approval results directly or indirectly in a default under the Mortgage Loan, Intermediate Mez Loan and/or
the Senior Mez Loan, and Borrower hereby waives any claim of liability against Lender arising from any such denial. 

Section 7.32. Reinstatement. This Agreement and each other Loan Document shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as
the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Debt or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by Borrower, whether as a “voidable

 CONSENT AND WAIVER 

As a material inducement for Lender to enter into the Loan and Security Agreement (“Loan Agreement”) dated as of the 11th day
of April, 2007 between ASHFORD SAPPHIRE JUNIOR HOLDER I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, having an address at 14185 Dallas Parkway, Suite 1100, Dallas, Texas 75254-4308 and ASHFORD SAPPHIRE JUNIOR HOLDER II LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company, having an address at 14185 Dallas Parkway, Suite 1100, Dallas, Texas 75254-4308 (collectively, “Borrower”) and WACHOVIA BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, having an address at Wachovia Bank, National Association,
Commercial Real Estate Services, 8739 Research Drive URP 4, NC 1075, Charlotte, North Carolina 28262 (“Lender”), and for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned, as of the
11th day of April, 2007, hereby consents to the pledge of the Collateral contained in the Loan Agreement and ratifies all encumbrances and terms contained therein. 
 The undersigned agrees that, by acceptance of the Loan Agreement, Lender assumes no obligations with respect to the Pledged Entities or to the constituent members, partners, or shareholders in the Pledged
Entities and, without the prior written consent of Lender, the undersigned shall not: (a) terminate or materially amend or modify the Organizational Documents of the Pledged Entities or consent thereto; or (b) take any action that would
operate to dilute the interest of Borrower in the Pledged Entities. 
 The undersigned agrees that, upon written notice from
Lender stating that an Event of Default has occurred under the Loan Agreement, all Distributions, dividends, or other sums payable to Borrower in connection with the Pledged Entities shall be made payable to and delivered to Lender. The undersigned
further agrees that, upon written notice from Lender that it has foreclosed upon the Collateral described in the Loan Agreement following an Event of Default, Borrower shall be removed as a manager, managing member or general partner in the Pledged
Entity, as applicable, and replaced with the assignee designated in such notice, which assignee shall be Lender or its nominee. In connection therewith, the undersigned agrees to request (and use reasonable efforts to ensure) that Lender is provided
with a written statement of Borrower’s defaults under the Organizational Documents and agrees that Lender be entitled to rely on such statement in determining whether to become a substitute member, shareholder or partner in the applicable
Pledged Entity. If Lender so requests, the undersigned covenants and agrees to consent to the execution of an amendment to the Organizational Documents to reflect any such assignee’s substitution in place of Borrower, as applicable. 

The undersigned further consents and agrees to (a) Borrower’s assignment to Lender for security purposes, of Borrower’s
Equity Interests, (b) any foreclosure and/or subsequent sale by Lender or its nominee of its rights with respect to such Equity Interests and the substitution of Lender or nominee of its rights with respect to such Equity Interests,
(c) the exercise of any remedy by Lender or its nominee under the Loan Agreement and (d) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Organizational Documents of the Pledged Entities, Lender, its nominee or any third-party
purchaser at a foreclosure sale becoming a member, partner or shareholder, or a substitute manager, managing member or general partner, as applicable, in a Pledged Entity, with all of the rights enjoyed by Borrower prior to such foreclosure. Any
such foreclosure will not require any further consent of the undersigned or any other member, shareholder, or partner in the applicable Pledged Entity and will not cause the dissolution of any LLC or Partnership. 







 The undersigned agrees that neither the execution and delivery of the Loan Agreement, the
enforcement by Lender of any of its rights thereunder, nor the transfer (or agreement to transfer) by Lender of any of its rights in the Pledged Entities or under the Loan Agreement shall constitute a default under the Organizational Documents, and
the undersigned expressly waives any rights it may have under the Organizational Documents as a result of the foregoing. The undersigned hereby waives any and all rights under the Organizational Documents which, whether exercised by the undersigned
or not, would prevent, inhibit or interfere with the granting of a security interest in the Collateral to Lender, the foreclosure of such security interest in the Collateral by Lender or the full realization by Lender of any of its other rights
under the Loan Agreement. 
 The undersigned acknowledges that Lender is materially relying on the undersigned’s execution
of this Consent and Waiver in entering into the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 All capitalized terms not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Loan Agreement.
