R E C I T A L S:




     Borrower and Lender are party to a Loan Agreement, dated as of December 31, 2004 (as it may
hereafter be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Loan Agreement”), pursuant
to which Lender agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement, to
make a loan to Borrower as provided in the Loan Agreement. Terms used but not defined herein shall
have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement, as amended hereby.



     WHEREAS, the parties wish to amend the Loan Agreement as provided herein, among other things,
to amend and restate certain definitions as used in the Loan Agreement from and after the date of
this Amendment, and Borrower has agreed to such amendments.



     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby
covenant, agree, represent and warrant that the Loan Agreement is hereby amended as follows,
effective as of the date hereof.



     Section 1. Additional Definitions. The following definition of “Assumed Note Rate” is
hereby added to Article I of the Loan Agreement in its appropriate alphabetical location:




“Assumed Note Rate” means an interest rate equal to the sum of (x) 1.00%
plus (y) LIBOR as determined on the preceding Interest Determination Date plus (z)
4.75%.



     Section 2. Revised Definitions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan
Agreement, the following definitions are hereby amended and restated in its entirety by the
following:




“Collection Period” means, with respect to any Payment Date, the period
commencing on and including the Payment Date in the month preceding the month in
which such Payment Date occurs through and including the day immediately prior to
the Payment Date in the month in which such Payment Date occurs.




“Interest Accrual Period” means (i) in connection with the calculation of
interest accrued with respect to the November 2006 Payment Date, the period
commencing on and including October 11, 2006 through and including
November 14, 2006 and (ii) thereafter, with respect to any subsequent Payment
Date, the period commencing on and including the fifteenth (15th) day in the month
preceding the month in which such Payment Date occurs through and



 









 






including the fourteenth (14th) day in the month in which such Payment Date
occurs.



     Section 3. Principal and Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
Loan Agreement, Section 2.5(a) is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the
following:



          “Borrower shall pay to Agent interest on the Principal Indebtedness of the Loan from the
Closing Date through the end of the Interest Accrual Period following or during which the Loan is
paid in full at the interest rate provided in Section 2.5 below. Interest on the Loan
shall accrue on the Principal Indebtedness and shall be payable in arrears on the ninth (9th) day
of each and every month until such time as the Loan shall be repaid in full, unless, in any such
case, such day is not a Business Day, in which event such interest shall be payable on the first
Business Day immediately preceding such date (such date for any particular month, the “Payment
Date”). The Agent or its servicer shall calculate LIBOR on each Interest Determination Date
for the related Interest Accrual Period and promptly communicate to Borrower such rate for such
period. The entire outstanding Principal Indebtedness of the Loan and the Note, together with all
accrued but unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts due under the Loan Documents, shall be
due and payable by Borrower to Lender on the Maturity Date (including, without limitation, all
interest that would accrue on the outstanding Principal Indebtedness of the Loan through the end of
the Interest Accrual Period in which the Maturity Date occurs (even if such period extends beyond
the Maturity Date)). Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year and the actual
number of days elapsed.”




     Section 4. Voluntary Prepayment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan
Agreement, Section 2.6(a) is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the
following:



          “Borrower may voluntarily prepay the Loan in whole or in part on any Payment Date;
provided, however, that, any such prepayment shall be accompanied by (1) an amount
representing all accrued interest on the portion of the Loan being prepaid through and including
the Payment Date together with an amount equal to the interest that would have accrued at the
interest rate set forth in Section 2.5(b) on the amount of principal being prepaid through
the end of the Interest Accrual Period in which such prepayment occurs (notwithstanding that such
Interest Accrual Period extends beyond the date of prepayment), and (2) other amounts then due
under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the Prepayment Fee, if any).”




     Section 5. Mandatory Prepayment; Capital Events; Certain Transfers. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Loan Agreement, Section 2.7(a) is hereby deleted and
replaced in its entirety with the following:



          “Borrower may effect a Capital Event with respect to the Mortgaged Property on any Business
Day on the condition that the Capital Event Proceeds (and, if necessary, any contributions from the
principals of Borrower necessary to make the payments required hereunder) are deposited in the
Collection Account and applied on the date of deposit in the Collection Account to repay the
Indebtedness in full (including (1) all accrued and unpaid interest calculated at the interest rate
set forth in Section 2.5(b) on the amount of principal being prepaid through and including
the date of prepayment together with an amount equal to the interest that would have accrued at
such interest rate on the amount of principal being prepaid

2









 






through the end of the Interest Accrual Period in which such prepayment occurs,
notwithstanding that such Interest Accrual Period extends beyond the date of prepayment, (2) in
addition to the payments required in clause (1) above, if such prepayment is made during the period
from and including the first day after a Payment Date through and including the last day of the
Interest Accrual Period in which such prepayment occurs, all interest on the principal amount being
prepaid which would have accrued from the first day of the Interest Accrual Period immediately
following the Interest Accrual Period in which the prepayment occurs (the “Succeeding Interest
Period”) through and including the end of the Succeeding Interest Period, calculated at (x) the
interest rate set forth in Section 2.5(b) if such prepayment occurs on or after the
Interest Determination Date for the Succeeding Interest Period or (y) the Assumed Note Rate if such
prepayment occurs before the Interest Determination Date for the Succeeding Interest Period (the
“Interest Shortfall”), (3) the Prepayment Fee, if any, and (4) other amounts then due under
the Loan Documents). If the Interest Shortfall was calculated based upon the Assumed Note Rate,
upon determination of LIBOR on the Interest Determination Date for the Succeeding Interest Period,
(i) if the interest rate set forth in Section 2.5(b) for such Succeeding Interest Period is
less than the Assumed Note Rate, Agent shall promptly refund to Borrower the amount of the Interest
Shortfall paid, calculated at a rate equal to the difference between the Assumed Note Rate and the
interest rate set forth in Section 2.5(b), or (ii) if the interest rate set forth in
Section 2.5(b) is greater than the Assumed Note Rate, Borrower shall promptly (and in no
event later than the ninth (9th) day of the following month) pay Agent the amount of
such additional Interest Shortfall calculated at a rate equal to the excess of the interest rate
set forth in Section 2.5(b) over the Assumed Note Rate. Notwithstanding, the foregoing,
Borrower may effect a Transfer (other than a Capital Event of a Mortgaged Property as provided in
this Section 2.7(a) or a Permitted Transfer), provided (1) if the Loan has not been
included in a Secondary Market Transaction in which Securities are issued, Borrower obtains the
prior written consent of the Agent or (2) if the Loan has been included in a Secondary Market
Transaction in which Securities were issued, Borrower shall have delivered to the Agent a Rating
Confirmation and (3) the Borrower pays all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent in
connection with the transaction.”

          6.1 Borrower hereby acknowledges to Lender that on or prior to the date hereof, the interest

therein.




          6.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the following is hereby added as Section 5.1(cc)
of the Loan Agreement:





(cc) Qualified Interest Rate Cap Provider. If the rating of a Qualified
Interest Rate Cap Provider that has provided an interest rate cap which Borrower
pledges to the Agent pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Hedge falls below the
rating criteria specified in the definition of a Qualified Interest Rate Cap
Provider, then within ten (10) Business Days following written request from Agent,
