**CAUTIONARY NOTE CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS** 

All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for Clipper Realty Inc. (the "Company"), including, without limitation, statements under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," regarding the Company's financial position, business strategy and the plans, objectives, expectations, or assumptions of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, words such as "may," "will," "should," "could," "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "project," "predict," "believe," "expect," "intend," "continue," "potential," "plan," "goal" or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes are intended to identify forward-looking statements, which are generally not historical in nature. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in such statements. These risks, contingencies and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following:

● our dependency on two commercial leases with certain agencies of the City of New York, as a single government tenant in our office buildings, could cause a material adverse effect on us, including our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow, with one lease terminating effective August 23, 2025 and the other lease expiring on December 27, 2025;

● the impact of the recent increase in inflation in the United States which could increase the cost of acquiring, replacing and operating our properties;

● market and economic conditions affecting occupancy levels, rental rates, the overall market value of our properties, our access to capital and the cost of capital and our ability to refinance indebtedness;

● economic or regulatory developments in New York City;

● changes in rent stabilization regulations or claims by tenants in rent-stabilized units that their rents exceed specified maximum amounts under current regulations;

● our ability to control operating costs to the degree anticipated;

● the risk of damage to our properties, including from severe weather, natural disasters, climate change, and terrorist attacks;

● risks related to financing, cost overruns, and fluctuations in occupancy rates and rents resulting from development or redevelopment activities and the risk that we may not be able to pursue or complete development or redevelopment activities or that such development or redevelopment activities may not be profitable;

● concessions or significant capital expenditures that may be required to attract and retain tenants;

● the relative illiquidity of real estate investments;

● competition affecting our ability to engage in investment and development opportunities or attract or retain tenants;

● unknown or contingent liabilities in properties acquired in formative and future transactions;

● the possible effects of departure of key personnel in our management team on our investment opportunities and relationships with lenders and prospective business partners;

● conflicts of interest faced by members of management relating to the acquisition of assets and the development of properties, which may not be resolved in our favor;

● a transfer of a controlling interest in any of our properties that may obligate us to pay transfer tax based on the fair market value of the real property transferred;

● the need to establish litigation reserves, costs to defend litigation and unfavorable litigation settlements or judgments; and

● other risks and risk factors or uncertainties identified from time to time in our filings with the SEC.

These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report, and the Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update these statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

**Clipper Realty Inc.**

**Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements**

**(In thousands, except for share and per share data and as noted)**

**(Unaudited)**

**INTRODUCTION TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Clipper Realty Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company" or "we") and subsidiaries have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. We believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 14, 2025. Note that any references to square footage and unit count are outside the scope of our Independent registered public accounting firm's review.

The financial information presented reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in our opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, cash flows and financial position for the interim periods presented. These results are not necessarily indicative of a full year's results of operations.

**1. Organization**

The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership is the sole managing member of the limited liability companies (the "LLCs") that comprised the predecessor of the Company (the "Predecessor").

------

At June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company's interest, through the Operating Partnership, in the LLCs that own the properties generally entitles it to 38.0% and 37.9%, respectively, of the aggregate cash distributions from, and the profits and losses of, the LLCs.

The Company determined that the Operating Partnership and the LLCs are variable interest entities ("VIEs") and that the Company was the primary beneficiary. The assets and liabilities of these VIEs represented substantially all of the Company's assets and liabilities.

**2. Significant Accounting Policies**

*Segments*

At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had two reportable operating segments, Residential Rental Properties and Commercial Rental Properties. Our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), represented by our Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, reviews the results in which the revenue and Income from Operations is divided between the commercial and residential performance.

*Basis of Consolidation* 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The effect of all intercompany balances has been eliminated. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all entities in which the Company has a controlling interest. The ownership interests of other investors in these entities are recorded as non-controlling interests.

*Use of Estimates*

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of commitments and contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

*Investment in Real Estate*

Real estate assets held for investment are carried at historical cost and consist of land, buildings and improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment. Expenditures for ordinary repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for improvements, renovations, and replacements of real estate assets are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives if the expenditures qualify as betterment or the life of the related asset will be substantially extended beyond the original life expectancy.

------

In accordance with ASU 2018-01, "Business Combinations – Clarifying the Definition of a Business," the Company evaluates each acquisition of real estate or in-substance real estate to determine if the integrated set of assets and activities acquired meets the definition of a business and needs to be accounted for as a business combination. If either of the following criteria is met, the integrated set of assets and activities acquired would not qualify as a business:

• Substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in either a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; or

• The integrated set of assets and activities is lacking, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs (i.e., revenue generated before and after the transaction).

An acquired process is considered substantive if:

• The process includes an organized workforce (or includes an acquired contract that provides access to an organized workforce) that is skilled, knowledgeable and experienced in performing the process:

• The process cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort or delay; or

• The process is considered unique or scarce.

Generally, the Company expects that acquisitions of real estate or in-substance real estate will not meet the revised definition of a business because substantially all of the fair value is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets (i.e., land, buildings and related intangible assets) or because the acquisition does not include a substantive process in the form of an acquired workforce or an acquired contract that cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort or delay.

Upon acquisition of real estate, the Company assesses the fair values of acquired tangible and intangible assets including land, buildings, tenant improvements, above-market and below-market leases, in-place leases and any other identified intangible assets and assumed liabilities. The Company allocates the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values. In estimating fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired, the Company assesses and considers fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates, estimates of replacement costs, net of depreciation, and available market information. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant.

The Company records acquired above-market and below-market lease values initially based on the present value, using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired based on the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management's estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed renewal options for the below-market leases. Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values and tenant relationship values (if any) that are based on management's evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant's lease and the Company's overall relationship with the respective tenant. Factors to be considered by management in its analysis of in-place lease values include an estimate of carrying costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, management considers leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses.

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. A property's value is impaired if management's estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property is less than the carrying value of the property. To the extent impairment has occurred, a write-down is recorded and measured by the amount of the difference between the carrying value of the asset and the fair value of the asset. In the event that the Company obtains proceeds through an insurance policy due to impairment, the proceeds are offset against the write-down in calculating gain/loss on disposal of assets. Management of the Company does not believe that any of its properties within the portfolio, other than the impairment of 10 West 65<sup>th</sup> Street described in note 10, are impaired as of June 30, 2025.

------

For long-lived assets to be disposed of, impairment losses are recognized when the fair value of the assets less estimated cost to sell is less than the carrying value of the assets. Properties classified as real estate held-for-sale generally represent properties that are actively marketed or contracted for sale with closing expected to occur within the next twelve months. Real estate held-for-sale is carried at the lower of cost, net of accumulated depreciation, or fair value less cost to sell, determined on an asset-by-asset basis. Expenditures for ordinary repair and maintenance costs on held-for-sale properties are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for improvements, renovations and replacements related to held-for-sale properties are capitalized at cost. Depreciation is not recorded on real estate held-for-sale.

If a tenant vacates its space prior to the contractual termination of the lease and no rental payments are being made on the lease, any unamortized balances of the related intangibles are written off. The tenant improvements and origination costs are amortized to expense over the remaining life of the lease (or charged against earnings if the lease is terminated prior to its contractual expiration date).

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| Building and improvements (in years) | 10 | 44 |
| Tenant improvements | Shorter of useful life or lease term | Shorter of useful life or lease term |
| Furniture, fixtures and equipment (in years) | 3 | 15 |

---

The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction to base rental revenue over the remaining terms of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed rate renewal options of the respective leases. The value of in-place leases is amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases.

*Cash and Cash Equivalents*

Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand and in banks, plus all short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. The Company maintains some of its cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed the federally insured limit. No losses have been experienced related to such accounts.

*Restricted Cash*

Restricted cash generally consists of escrows for future real estate taxes and insurance expenditures, repairs, capital improvements, loan reserves and security deposits.

*Tenant and Other Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts*

Tenant and other receivables are comprised of amounts due for monthly rents and other charges less allowance for doubtful accounts. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842 "Leases," the Company performed a detailed review of amounts due from tenants to determine if accounts receivable balances and future lease payments were probable of collection, wrote off receivables not probable of collection and recorded a general reserve against revenues for receivables probable of collection for which a loss can be reasonably estimated. If management determines that the tenant receivable is not probable of collection it is written off against revenues. In addition, the Company records a general reserve under ASC 450.

------

*Deferred Costs*

Deferred lease costs consist of fees incurred to initiate and renew operating leases. Lease costs are being amortized using the straight-line method over the terms of the respective leases.

Deferred financing costs represent commitment fees, legal and other third-party costs associated with obtaining financing. These costs are amortized over the term of the financing and are recorded in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Unamortized deferred financing costs are expensed when the associated debt is refinanced or repaid before maturity. Costs incurred in seeking financing transactions which do not close are expensed in the period the financing transaction is terminated.

*Comprehensive Income (Loss)*

Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income (loss) adjusted for changes in unrealized gains and losses, reported in equity, for financial instruments required to be reported at fair value under GAAP. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not own any material financial instruments for which the change in value was not reported in net income (loss); accordingly, its comprehensive income (loss) was its net income (loss) as presented in the consolidated statements of operations.

*Revenue Recognition*

As mentioned above under Tenant and Other Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts the Company records lease income under ASC 842,"Leases" which replaces the guidance under ASC 840. ASC 842 applies to the Company principally as lessor; as a lessee, the Company's leases are immaterial. The Company has determined that all its leases as lessor are operating leases. The Company has elected to not bifurcate lease and non-lease components under a practical expedient provision. With respect to collectability, the Company has written off all receivables not probable of collection and related deferred rent and has recorded income for those tenants on a cash basis. When the probability assessment has changed for these receivables, the Company has recognized lease income to the extent of the difference between the lease income that would have been recognized if collectability had always been assessed as probable and the lease income recognized to date. For remaining receivables probable of collection, the Company has recorded a general reserve under ASC 450.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company charged revenue in the amount of $985 and $933, respectively, for residential receivables not deemed probable of collection and recognized revenue of $23 and $113, respectively, for a reassessment of collectability of residential receivables previously not deemed probable of collection.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company charged revenue in the amount of $1,892 and $1,719, respectively, for residential receivables not deemed probable of collection and recognized revenue of $91 and $229, respectively, for a reassessment of collectability of residential receivables previously not deemed probable of collection.

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 842, rental revenue for commercial leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Deferred rents receivable represents the amount by which straight-line rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with lease agreements. Rental income attributable to residential leases and parking is recognized as earned, which is not materially different from the straight-line basis. Leases entered by residents for apartment units are generally for one-year terms, renewable upon consent of both parties on an annual or monthly basis.

Reimbursements for operating expenses due from tenants pursuant to their lease agreements are recognized as revenue in the period the applicable expenses are incurred. These costs generally include real estate taxes, utilities, insurance, common area maintenance costs and other recoverable costs and are recorded as part of commercial rental income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

------

*Stock-based Compensation*

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 718, "Compensation — Stock Compensation." As such, all equity-based awards are reflected as compensation expense in the Company's consolidated statements of operations over their vesting period based on the fair value at the date of grant. In the event of a forfeiture, the previously recognized expense would be reversed.

As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, there were 6,242,095 and 5,700,534 long-term incentive plan ("LTIP") units outstanding, respectively, with a weighted average grant date fair value of $6.85 and $7.07 per unit, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, there was $17,724 and $19,945, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under share incentive plans. As of June 30, 2025, the weighted-average period over which the unrecognized compensation expense will be recorded is approximately three and a half years.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company granted employees and non-employee directors 345,561 and 196,000 LTIP units, respectively, with a weighted-average grant date value of $4.54 per unit. The grants vesting period ranges from up to one year for those granted to the non-employee directors and from one to 2.5 years to those granted to employees as 2024 bonus and long-term incentive compensation.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted employees and non-employee directors 320,172 and 181,602 LTIP units, respectively, with a weighted-average grant date value of $4.90 per unit. The grants vesting period ranges from up to one year for those granted to the non-employee directors and from 1 to 2.5 years to those granted to employees as 2023 bonus and long-term incentive compensation.

At the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") of the Company held on June 18, 2025, the stockholders of the Company approved the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Omnibus Plan") and the 2025 Non-Employee Director Plan (the "Non-Employee Director Plan"). The Omnibus Plan replaced the 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan, and the Company ceased granting any new awards under the 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan. A total of 7,800,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The Non-Employee Director Plan replaced the 2015 Non-Employee Director Plan, and the Company ceased granting any new awards under the 2015 Non-Employee Director Plan. A total of 3,000,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the Non-Employee Director Plan.

*Transaction Pursuit Costs*

Transaction pursuit costs primarily reflect costs incurred for abandoned acquisition, disposition or other transaction pursuits.

*Income Taxes*

The Company elected to be taxed and to operate in a manner that will allow it to qualify as a REIT under the Code. To qualify as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute dividends equal to at least 90% of the REIT taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and net capital gains) to its stockholders, and meet the various other requirements imposed by the Code relating to matters such as operating results, asset holdings, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership. Provided the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it is generally not subject to U.S. federal corporate-level income tax on the earnings distributed currently to its stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal and state income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates and any applicable alternative minimum tax. In addition, the Company may not be able to re-elect as a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years. The entities comprising the Predecessor are limited liability companies and are treated as pass-through entities for income tax purposes. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal, state or local income or franchise taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, the Company believes that it has appropriate support for the income tax positions taken and, as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that, if successfully challenged, could result in a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. The prior three years' income tax returns are subject to review by the Internal Revenue Service.

*Fair Value Measurements*

Refer to Note 7, "Fair Value of Financial Instruments".

------

*Derivative Financial Instruments*

FASB derivative and hedging guidance establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. As required by FASB guidance, the Company records all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation.

Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecast transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged item related to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in other comprehensive income (loss) (outside of earnings) and subsequently reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings, and the ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings. The Company assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the designated hedged item or transaction. For derivatives not designated as hedges, changes in fair value would be recognized in earnings. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company has no derivatives for which it applies hedge accounting.

*Loss Per Share*

Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had unvested LTIP units which provide for non-forfeitable rights to dividend-equivalent payments. Accordingly, these unvested LTIP units are considered participating securities and are included in the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share pursuant to the two-class method. The Company did not have dilutive securities as of June 30, 2025 or 2024

The effect of the conversion of the 26,317 Class B LLC units outstanding is not reflected in the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share, as the effect would be anti-dilutive. The net loss allocable to such units is reflected as non-controlling interests in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the periods indicated (unaudited):

---

*Recently Issued Pronouncements* 

In 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment's profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide the new disclosures and all the disclosures required under ASC 280. The guidance is applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements, unless it is impracticable. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 in the year ended December 31, 2024 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. See Note 9 – Segment Reporting.

------

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires a public business entity to provide disaggregated disclosures, in the notes to the financial statements, of certain categories of expenses that are included in expense line items on the face of the income statement. The guidance is effective for the Company in its 2027 annual reporting. The guidance is applied prospectively and may be applied retrospectively. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03.

**3. Deferred Costs and Intangible Assets**

Deferred costs and intangible assets consist of the following:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The $329,000 mortgage note agreement with New York Community Bank ("NYCB"), entered into on May 8, 2020, matures on June 1, 2032, and bears interest at 3.125% through May 2027 and thereafter at the prime rate plus 2.75%, subject to an option to fix the rate. The note requires interest-only payments through May 2027, and monthly principal and interest payments thereafter based on a 30-year amortization schedule. The Company has the option to prepay all (but not less than all) of the unpaid balance of the note prior to the maturity date, subject to certain prepayment premiums, as defined.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The $125,000 mortgage note agreement with Citi Real Estate Funding Inc., entered into on May 31, 2019, matures on June 6, 2029, bears interest at 3.63% and requires interest-only payments for the entire term. The Company has the option to prepay all (but not less than all) of the unpaid balance of the note within three months of maturity, without a prepayment premium.

As of February 23, 2024, The City of New York, a municipal corporation acting through the Department of Citywide Administrative Services ("NYC"), notified us of its intention to terminate its lease at 250 Livingston Street effective August 23, 2025. The lease generally provides for rent payments in the amount of $15,400 per annum. We may be unable to replace NYC as a tenant or unable to replace it with other commercial tenants at comparable rent rates, may incur substantial costs to improve the vacated space or may have to offer significant inducements to fill the space, all of which may have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. In connection with the termination of the 250 Livingston Street lease, pursuant to the terms of the loan agreement related to $125,000 building mortgage, we have established a cash management account for the benefit of the lender, into which we will be obligated to deposit all revenue generated by the building at 250 Livingston Street. All amounts remaining in such cash management account after the lender's allocations set forth in the loan agreement will be disbursed to us once the tenant cure conditions are satisfied under the loan agreement. If we are unable to replace the NYC lease at comparable rents, we may not be able to cure the conditions listed in the loan agreement. If the excess cash is not released to us, it could impact our available cash to fund corporate operations and pay dividends and distributions to our stockholders.

On January 2, 2025, the Company was notified that the loan servicing of the loan related to the 250 Livingston Street property was transferred, at our request, to LNR Partners ("LNR") to serve as special servicer in order for us to engage in negotiations on a modification of our loan. All remaining servicing has remained with Midland. On January 6, 2025, the Company and LNR signed a Pre-Negotiation Letter Agreement to discuss our request for a reduction in the loan. These negotiations continue and there can be no guarantee that they will conclude with an agreement. On October 10, 2024, the Company guaranteed an agreement between the Company's subsidiary, 250 Livingston Owner LLC, and IronHound Management Company LLC, whose principal is the Company's director Roberto Verrone, to provide consulting services regarding the loan related to the 250 Livingston Street property. The initial fee paid upon the agreement is $125 and the agreement also includes restructuring and other fees payable upon certain loan modifications. The arrangement was approved by an independent committee of the Company's board of directors.

------

On March 18, 2025, we were notified by legal counsel to the servicer that, due to the failure of our subsidiary, 250 Livingston Owner LLC, to cause all revenue generated by the 250 Livingston Street property to be deposited into the cash management account as required by the loan agreement related to the $125,000 building mortgage loan, an event of default occurred under the $125 million building mortgage loan. The notice provided that if the 250 Livingston Owner LLC fails to cure the event of default, the lender may, among other things, accelerate the $125,000 building mortgage loan and demand all amounts owing to the lender to be immediately payable, institute proceedings for the foreclosure of all liens securing the loan and sell the 250 Livingston Street Property, or file a lawsuit against the 250 Livingston owner LLC or the guarantors. As of May 12, 2025, the Company has complied with the lenders requirement to have the deposits made by all tenants deposited directly into the cash management account. On May 8, 2025, the Company transferred $6,300 to the cash management account prior to the activation of the cash management account. On May 15, 2025, legal counsel for the lender notified us that they alleged that we were in default on the $125,000 mortgage loan due to its allegation that Clipper Realty Inc. (the "Guarantor") did not maintain a net worth of not less than $100,000 as of December 31, 2024, as required under the loan agreement. The Company replied to the lender disputing such calculation and alleging that the lender did not calculate net worth in a reasonable manner. The Company provided the lender with its own calculation of net worth that shows a net worth in excess of the required amount. On May 28, 2025, the lender replied concurring with the Company and notifying that they agree that we are compliant with the $100 million requirement. On July 28, 2025, we were notified by legal counsel for the lender that they alleged that we were once again in default for failure to remit all revenue derived from 250 Livingston into the cash management account. The Company responded by disputing the allegations in the July 28, 2025, letter and noting that all rents from the tenants had been deposited into the cash management account.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Our subsidiary, 141 Livingston Owner LLC (the "141 Borrower") and Citi Real Estate Funding Inc. entered into the loan agreement related to a $100,000 loan on February 18, 2021. The loan is evidenced by promissory mortgage notes and secured by the 141 Livingston Street property. The Company and our Operating Partnership subsidiary serve as limited guarantors of certain obligations under the loan, including those related to the reserve monthly deposit discussed below.

The $100,000 loan matures on March 6, 2031, bears interest at 3.21% and requires interest-only payments for the entire term. The company has the option to prepay all (but not less than all) of the unpaid balance of the note within three months of maturity, without a prepayment premium.

The 141 Livingston Street lease expires on December 27, 2025. Should the lease not be extended for a minimum of five years, in accordance with terms of the mortgage note, the company will be required to either fund a reserve account in the amount of $10,000 payable in equal monthly payments over the 18 months after lease expiration or deliver to the lender a letter of credit in the amount of $10,000.

On October 28, 2024, the Company received notice that as of October 7, 2024 the servicing of the mortgage note was transferred to a special servicer ("Special Servicer") due to, Company's alleged failure to make certain required payments under the loan agreement, including, but not limited to, reserve monthly deposit starting on July 7, 2024. The Special Servicer has demanded that the company pay $2,222 of reserve payments into a reserve account immediately (for July-October 2024) and continued monthly payments of $555 for an additional 14 months, $1,166 of default interest and late charges through October 7, 2024, and an additional $10 per diem interest for each day thereafter.

On November 11, 2024, the Special Servicer notified the 141 Borrower that, due to its alleged event of default under the Loan Agreement, as a result of the failure to make the payments described above, the mortgage notes have been accelerated, and all amounts under the loan agreement were due and payable. Such amounts include, but are not limited to, $100,000 principal amount of the mortgage notes, approximately $5,000 of default yield maintenance premium, $10,000 aggregate reserve deposit, and the above-described penalty default interest and penalties.

The Company believes that (i) the Company has made timely payments under the loan agreement, (ii) the servicer and the Special Servicer have misinterpreted the terms of the loan agreement requiring monthly reserve payments beginning on July 7, 2024, (iii) the Company has no current obligation to make such reserve payments under the loan agreement and (iv) The Company should not be obligated to pay the default interest and late charges.

On December 18, 2024, the Company received notice from the Special Servicer that due to its allegation that Clipper Realty Inc. (the "Guarantor") did not maintain a net worth of not less than $100,000 as of December 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively, as required under the loan agreement, the Company is in default on the loan. The Company replied to the Special Servicer disputing such calculation and alleging that the Special Servicer did not calculate net worth in a reasonable manner. The Company provided the Special Servicer with its own calculation of net worth that shows a net worth in excess of the required amount.

On January 21, 2025, the Company received notice from the Special Servicer alleging that certain elements of our insurance on the building at 141 Livingston Street are not in compliance with the loan agreement requirements, including, but not limited to, due to a deductible in excess of what is permitted under the terms of the loan agreement and the use of an insurance carrier with a rating agency rating below that which is permitted under the terms of the loan agreement.

On March 12, 2025, we received a letter from counsel to the successor to the Special Servicer reaffirming the occurrence of alleged events of default under the loan agreement described above and demanding the establishment of a restricted account, a cash management account and a debt service account. In addition, the letter demanded that tenants of 141 Livingston Street be sent notices directing them to make lease payments to the cash management account.

We believe that we are not required to establish the foregoing accounts or send such notices to the tenants. However, if we are required to establish such accounts and deliver such notices, it could impact our available cash to fund corporate operations and pay dividends and distributions to our stockholders.

On March 20, 2025, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee for the benefit of the registered holders of certain pass-through certificates issued by trusts that are the holders of the promissory mortgage notes secured by the 141 Livingston Street property, referred to as "Plaintiff," filed a lawsuit against 141 Borrower, as well as us and our Operating Partnership subsidiary, as guarantors, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York. Plaintiff demands, among other things, that (i) the 141 Livingston Street property be sold and the Plaintiff be paid the amounts due under the loan agreement, with interest thereon to the time of such payment, together with, among other items, the expenses of the sale, Plaintiff's attorneys' fees; (ii) Plaintiff be paid all rents and revenues of the 141 Livingston Street property as they become due and payable; (iii) a receiver be appointed to manage the 141 Livingston Street property, with power among other things to demand and recover payment from anyone who has received a distribution from 141 Borrower after any event of default; (iv) Plaintiff have such other and further relief as may be just and equitable; (v) guarantors pay to Plaintiff the amount of any losses or damages suffered or incurred by Plaintiff as the court may determine to be just and equitable and amounts owed under the guaranty. We believe that the claims set forth in this complaint are without merit and intend to vigorously defend against this lawsuit.

On April 7, 2025 the Company filed an Affirmation in opposition to the motion of the plaintiff for their appointment of a receiver and in support of defendants cross motion to dismiss the action and cancel notice of pendency with the Supreme Court of the state of New York County of Kings. A hearing on the motions was scheduled to be had on April 8, 2025 and was adjourned until May 6, 2025. The Plaintiff submitted additional filings on April 29, 2025 and the Company submitted its replies on May 6, 2025. On May 13, 2025, the Court denied (i) the Plaintiff's motion to appoint a receiver to manage the 141 Livingston Street property, "as Plaintiff's likelihood of ultimately prevailing on its claims herein appears remote" and (ii) the Company's cross motion to dismiss the lawsuit, "as Plaintiff's contentions do raise a question of fact".

In April 2025, the Company and the City of New York agreed to the terms of a five-year extension of the current lease, with an option for the City of New York to terminate the lease after two years with a prior six-month notice. The City of New York has sent the lease to the Company to sign. On April 22, 2025, the Company sent the lease to the loan special servicer for approval in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. On May 21, 2025 the special servicer approved the lease subject to certain conditions. The Company rejected the conditions that amongst other changes required us to change the terms of the cancellation provisions in the lease and make amendments to the loan documents to be in the line with the lenders allegations in the above lawsuit. There can be no assurance that the lease will be approved or finalized.

On June 11, 2025, the lender filed an appeal of the denial of the receiver. On June 23, 2025, the Lender filed an amended complaint seeking a declaratory judgment that its conditions for its consent to the lease were reasonable. On July 2, 2025, the lender filed a renewed motion for a temporary receiver. On July 11, 2025, the Company filed an answer with counter claims, seeking among other things declaratory relief that the lenders conditions are unreasonable for the proposed lease renewal. On July 18, the Company filed opposition to the renewed receiver motion. On July 30, 2025, the judge heard arguments on the renewed motion for a temporary receiver. The motion is currently pending. On July 31, the lender filed motion to dismiss counter claims. Currently the Company has until September 3, 2025, to respond and a hearing is currently scheduled for September 10, 2025.

The Company believes that the claims set forth in the Plaintiff's complaint are without merit and intends to continue to vigorously defend against this lawsuit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) On May 30, 2025, in connection with the Sale of the 10 West 65 street property, the Company repaid in full the $31.200 million 2017 acquisition mortgage note (the "Mortgage") to Flagstar Bank ("Flagstar"). In addition to the Mortgage repayment, the Company paid $0.8 million in accrued interest through the payoff date.

The Company did not incur any penalties related to the prepayment of the Mortgage.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) On August 10, 2021, the Company entered into a group of loans with AIG Asset Management (U.S.), LLC, succeeding a property acquisition loan, providing for maximum borrowings of $52,500 to develop the property. The notes had a 36-month term, bore interest at 30 day LIBOR plus 3.60% (with a floor of 4.1%). The notes were scheduled to mature on September 1, 2024 and could have been extended until September 1, 2026. The Company could have prepaid the unpaid balance of the note within five months of maturity without penalty.

On February 9, 2023, the Company refinanced this construction loan with a mortgage loan with Valley National Bank which provided for maximum borrowings of $80,000. The loan provided initial funding of $60,000 and a further $20,000 subject to achievement of certain financial targets. The loan has a term of five years and an initial annual interest rate of 5.7% subject to reduction by up to 25 basis points upon achievement of certain financial targets (during the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the Company achieved the applicable financial target, and the interest rate was reduced to 5.55%). The interest rate on subsequent fundings will be fixed at the time of any funding. The loan requires interest-only payments for the first two years and principal and interest thereafter based on a 30-year amortization schedule. The Company has the option to prepay in full, or in part, the unpaid balance of the note prior to the maturity date. Prior to the second anniversary of the date of the note prepayment is subject to certain prepayment premiums, as defined. After the second anniversary of the date of the note the prepayment is not subject to a prepayment premium.

On September 15, 2023, the Company borrowed an additional $20,000 from Valley National Bank. The additional borrowing has a term of twenty-four months and an annual interest rate of 6.37%. The loan is interest only subject to the maintenance of certain financial targets after the first 16 months of the term. In conjunction with the additional borrowing, the Company and the bank agreed to amend the expiration date of the initial $60,000 to expire at the same time as the additional borrowing. No change was made to the interest rate on the initial borrowing.

(i) On December 22, 2021, the Company entered into a $30,000 mortgage note agreement with Bank Leumi, N.A. related to the Dean Street acquisition. The notes original maturity was December 22, 2022 and was subsequently extended to September 22, 2023. The note required interest-only payments and bears interest at the prime rate (with a floor of 3.25%) plus 1.60%. In April 2022, the Company borrowed an additional $6,985 under the mortgage note in connection with the acquisition of additional parcels of land in February and April 2022.

On August 10, 2023, the Company refinanced its $37,000 mortgage on its Dean Street development with a senior construction loan ("Senior Loan") with Valley National Bank that permits borrowings up to $115,000 and a mezzanine loan (the "Mezzanine Loan") with BADF 953 Dean Street Lender LLC that permits borrowings up to $8,000.

The Senior Loan allows maximum borrowings of $115,000 for a 30-month term, has two 6-month extension options, and bears interest at 1-Month Term SOFR plus 4.00%, with an all-in floor of 5.50%. The Senior Loan consists of a land loan, funded at closing to refinance the existing loan totaling $36,985, a construction loan of up to $62,400 and a project loan of up to $15,600. The Company has provided a 30% payment guarantee of outstanding borrowings among other standard indemnities.

------

The Mezzanine Loan allows maximum borrowings of $8,000 for a 30-month term, have two 6-month extension options, and bears interest at 1-Month Term SOFR plus 10%, with an all-in floor of 13%. Interest shall accrue on the principal, is compounded monthly and is due at the end of the term of the loan. At closing, $4,500 was funded to cover closing costs incurred on the construction loans and the remaining $3,500 was drawn for ongoing construction costs.

On May 2, 2025, the Company entered into the Multifamily Loan and Security Agreement (the "Loan Agreement"), dated as of May 2, 2025 and the Mezzanine Multifamily Loan and Security Agreement (the "Mezzanine Loan Agreement" and together with the Loan Agreement, the "New Loan Agreements") with MF1 Capital, a company not affiliated with the Company dated as of May 2, 2025.

The Loan Agreement provides for $115,000 and the Mezzanine Loan Agreement provides for the $26,750 loan to Dean Member (collectively, the "Loans"). The Loans have an initial May 9, 2027 maturity date, with three one-year extensions available upon meeting the applicable extension conditions, and bear interest at 2.65% rate, plus 1-Month CME Term SOFR (with a floor of 2.25%)(6.96% at June 30, 2025). The Company can borrow up to an additional $18,250 under the Mezzanine Loan Agreement based on meeting various performance targets over the term of the loan. Under the Loan Agreement, the Company deposited with MF1 Capital (i) $4,250 for a shortfall reserve account to pay interest and operating expenses during the initial lease up period of the Dean Street Property, and (ii) $1,550 for completion reserve deposits towards the completion of the construction of the building.

Subsequent to the loan closing the Company drew an additional $1,000 from the Mezzanine Loan.

The New Loan Agreements also contain customary representations, covenants, events of default and certain limited guarantees.

In addition, the Company purchased an interest rate cap with US Bank that caps the SOFR portion of the interest rate on the Loans at 6%.

Concurrently with entering into the New Loan Agreements, the Company repaid the $115,000 Senior Loan and the $8,000 Mezzanine Loan, plus $2,900 in accrued interest. The Company incurred no fees or costs as a result of the termination of the Prior Loan Agreements, and the Company incurred approximately $3,104 in closing costs for the New Loan Agreements.

The Company has provided limited guaranties for the mortgage notes at several of its properties. The Company's loan agreements contain customary representations, covenants and events of default. Certain loan agreements require the Company to comply with affirmative and negative covenants, including the maintenance of debt service coverage and debt yield ratios. In the event the Company is not compliant, certain lenders may require cash sweeps of rent until the conditions are cured. Except as set forth above, the Company believes it is not in default on any of its loan agreements.

There can be no assurance that the lease will be approved or finalized. The current lease at 141 Livingston Street provides for $10,304 rent per annum.

**6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments**

GAAP requires the measurement of certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. In addition, GAAP requires the measure of other financial instruments and balances at fair value on a non-recurring basis (e.g., carrying value of impaired real estate and long-lived assets). Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The GAAP fair value framework uses a three-tiered approach. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

• Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;

• Level 2: quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

• Level 3: prices or valuation techniques where little or no market data is available that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

When available, the Company utilizes quoted market prices from an independent third-party source to determine fair value and classifies such items in Level 1 or Level 2. In instances where the market for a financial instrument is not active, regardless of the availability of a nonbinding quoted market price, observable inputs might not be relevant and could require the Company to make a significant adjustment to derive a fair value measurement. Additionally, in an inactive market, a market price quoted from an independent third party may rely more on models with inputs based on information available only to that independent third party. When the Company determines the market for a financial instrument owned by the Company to be illiquid or when market transactions for similar instruments do not appear orderly, the Company uses several valuation sources (including internal valuations, discounted cash flow analysis and quoted market prices) and establishes a fair value by assigning weights to the various valuation sources.

Changes in assumptions or estimation methodologies can have a material effect on these estimated fair values. In this regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.

------

The financial assets and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, security deposits and notes payable. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and security deposits reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of notes payable, which are classified as Level 2, is estimated by discounting the contractual cash flows of each debt instrument to their present value using adjusted market interest rates.

The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the notes payable are as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **June 30,<br> 2025** | **December 31,<br> 2024** |
|  | **(unaudited)** |  |
| Carrying amount (excluding unamortized debt issuance costs) | $1277323 | $1275359 |
| Estimated fair value | $1245003 | $1209629 |

**7. Commitments and Contingencies**

*Legal*

On July 3, 2017, the Supreme Court of the State of New York (the "Court") ruled in favor of 41 present or former tenants of apartment units at the Company's buildings located at 50 Murray Street and 53 Park Place in Manhattan, New York (the Tribeca House property), who brought an action (the "Kuzmich" case) against the Company alleging that they were subject to applicable rent stabilization laws with the result that rental payments charged by the Company exceeded amounts permitted under these laws because the buildings were receiving certain tax abatements under Real Property Tax Law ("RPTL") 421-g. The Court also awarded the plaintiffs- tenants their attorney's fees and costs. After various court proceedings and discussions from 2018-2022, on March 4, 2022 the court issued a ruling, finalized on May 9, 2022, on the rent overcharges to which the plaintiffs are entitled. While the court ruled that the overcharges to which the plaintiffs are entitled total $1,200, the court agreed with the Company's legal arguments that rendered the overcharge liability lower than it could have been, and therefore the Company did not appeal the ruling. On June 23, 2022, the court ruled that the plaintiffs are entitled to attorneys' fees incurred through February 28, 2022, in the amount of $400. The only remaining outstanding issues of which the Company is aware relate to the proper form of rent-stabilized renewal leases for the six plaintiffs who remain as tenants in the building. The parties are seeking judicial intervention to resolve this remaining issue. On July 17, 2023, a hearing was held at which the Judicial Hearing Officer ("JHO") determined five (5) of the tenant's lease renewal amounts, term and form. The amount of the lease renewal concerning the sixth plaintiff was made on August 28, 2023. At this time the Company is awaiting the execution and return of all the lease renewals. On June 14, 2024, the Court amended its August 28, 2023 decision, holding that no renewal lease had been entered into by one of the remaining tenants who claimed to have entered into a renewal lease at a preferential rent. On July 20, 2024, Plaintiff filed a notice of appeal from the June 14, 2024 decision. On August 13, 2024, the JHO issued a Determination awarding attorneys' fees to plaintiffs' attorneys in the amount of $13 for the Kuzmich matter. On December 31, 2024, the Company filed a notice of appeal from the August 13, 2024 JHO determination. The Company is preparing to comply with the JHO's Determinations regarding renewal leases, overcharge payments and payment of attorney's fees. The matter is currently pending.

On November 18, 2019, the same law firm which filed the Kuzmich case filed a second action involving a separate group of 26 tenants (captioned Crowe et al v 50 Murray Street Acquisition LLC, Supreme Court, New York County, Index No. 161227/19), which action advances essentially the same claims as in Kuzmich. The Company's deadline to answer or otherwise respond to the complaint in Crowe had been extended to June 30, 2020; on such date, the Company filed its answer to the complaint. Pursuant to the court's rules, on July 16, 2020, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint; the sole difference as compared to the initial complaint is that seven new plaintiffs-tenants were added to the caption; there were no substantive changes to the complaint's allegations. On August 5, 2020, the Company filed its answer to the amended complaint. The case was placed on the court's calendar and was next scheduled for a discovery conference on November 16, 2022. Counsel for the parties have been engaged in and are continuing settlement discussions. On November 16, 2022, the court held a compliance conference and ordered the plaintiffs to provide rent overcharge calculations in response to proposed calculations previously provided by the Company. On July 12, 2023, the court referred this matter to a JHO to determine the outstanding issues. A hearing before the JHO was held in September 2023. On September 19, 2024 the JHO entered two orders, (1) a June 5, 2024 Determination determining the amount of rent overcharges, if any, due to each of the plaintiffs and the lease renewal amounts, term and form of lease for the plaintiffs remaining in occupancy of four units and (2) a September 3, 2024 Determination sustaining the June 5, 2024 JHO determination which set another plaintiffs rent but reducing the overcharge amount owed to the plaintiff. On October 21, 2024, the Company filed a notice of appeal from the September 3, 2024 JHO order. In addition, on August 13, 2024 the JHO issued a Determination awarding attorneys' fees to plaintiffs' attorneys in the amount of $63 for the Crowe matter. This Determination was entered on November 25, 2024. On December 31, 2024, the Company moved to appeal from the August 13, 2024 JHO determination. The Company is preparing to comply with the JHO's determinations. The matter is currently pending.

------

On March 9, 2021, the same law firm which filed the Kuzmich and Crowe cases filed a third action involving another tenant (captioned Horn v 50Murray Street Acquisition LLC, Supreme Court, New York County, Index No. 152415/21), which action advances the same claims as in Kuzmich and Crowe. The Company filed its answer to the complaint on May 21, 2021. On September 19, 2024 the JHO entered a June 5, 2024 order which determined, among other things, the amount of rent overcharge, the lease renewal amount, term and form of lease for plaintiff Horn. In addition, On August 13, 2024 the JHO issued a Determination awarding attorneys' fees to plaintiffs' attorneys in the amount of $18 for the Horn matter. This Determination was entered on November 25, 2024. On December 31, 2024, the Company filed a notice of appeal from the August 13, 2024 JHO determination.

As a result of the March 4 and May 9, 2022 decisions which established the probability and ability to reasonably compute amounts owed to tenants for all the cases, the Company recorded a charge for litigation settlement and other of $2,700 in the consolidated statements of operations during the year ended December 31, 2021 comprising rent overcharges, interest and legal costs of plaintiff's counsel. The Company paid $2,300 to the plaintiffs related to the Kuzmich case during the year ended December 31, 2022 and $400 related to the Crowe case during the third quarter of 2023.

Based on the JHO determinations made in 2024, the Company accrued an additional $175 for the plaintiffs and $94 for attorney fees. The Company paid the accrued balances during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

In addition to the above, the Company is subject to certain legal proceedings and claims arising in connection with its business. Management believes, based in part upon consultation with legal counsel, that the ultimate resolution of all such claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows

On October 15, 2021, Rodney Sanchez ("Plaintiff") filed a Class and Collective Action Complaint (the "Complaint") against and the Company and certain of its affiliates and Clipper Equity LLC (collectively, the "Defendants") in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Plaintiff alleged that he was jointly employed by the Defendants and that the Defendants: (a) failed to pay Plaintiff and similarly situated employees overtime in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") and New York Labor Law ("NYLL"); (b) failed to pay Plaintiff and similarly situated employees for training sessions in violation of the FLSA and NYLL; (c) failed to pay Plaintiff and similarly situated employees on a timely basis in violation of NYLL; and (d) failed to provide Plaintiff and similarly situated employees with wage statements and wage notices as required by NYLL. The Company has denied the allegations and intends to defend both the allegations and the class certification action. Given the uncertainty of litigation, the preliminary stage of the case and the legal standards that must be met for, among other things, class certification and success on the merits, the Company cannot estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss, if any, that may result from this action and therefore no accrual has been made related to this.

On November 22, 2024, The New York City Department of Citywide Administrative Services issued the results of its audit of the Company's operating expense escalation charges for the period of June 2014 to December 2018. The audit resulted in a claim by the City for the Company to pay the City $1,152. The Company is evaluating the results of the audit. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 New York City withheld rent to satisfy the claim. Based on the results of the audit the Company was adequately reserved to cover this payment and it did not have any impact on the Company's operating results in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025.

On March 20, 2025, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee for the benefit of the registered holders of certain pass-through certificates issued by trusts that are the holders of the promissory mortgage notes secured by the 141 Livingston Street property, referred to as "Plaintiff," filed a lawsuit against 141 Borrower, as well as us and our Operating Partnership subsidiary, as guarantors, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York. Plaintiff demands, among other things, that (i) the 141 Livingston Street property be sold and the Plaintiff be paid the amounts due under the loan agreement, with interest thereon to the time of such payment, together with, among other items, the expenses of the sale, Plaintiff's attorneys' fees; (ii) Plaintiff be paid all rents and revenues of the 141 Livingston Street property as they become due and payable; (iii) a receiver be appointed to manage the 141 Livingston Street property, with power among other things to demand and recover payment from anyone who has received a distribution from 141 Borrower after any event of default; (iv) Plaintiff have such other and further relief as may be just and equitable; (v) guarantors pay to Plaintiff the amount of any losses or damages suffered or incurred by Plaintiff as the court may determine to be just and equitable and amounts owed under the guaranty. We believe that the claims set forth in this complaint are without merit and intend to vigorously defend against this lawsuit.

On April 7, 2025, the Company filed an Affirmation in opposition to the motion of the plaintiff for the appointment of a receiver and in support of defendants cross motion to dismiss the action and cancel notice of pendency with the Supreme Court of the State of New York County of Kings. A hearing on the motions was scheduled for April 8, 2025, but it was adjourned until May 6, 2025. The Plaintiff submitted additional filings on April 29, 2025, and the Company submitted its replies on May 6, 2025. On May 13, 2025, the Court denied (i) the Plaintiff's motion to appoint a receiver to manage the 141 Livingston Street property, "as Plaintiff's likelihood of ultimately prevailing on its claims herein appears remote" and (ii) the Company's cross motion to dismiss the lawsuit, "as Plaintiff's contentions do raise a question of fact".

On June 11, 2025, the lender filed an appeal of the denial of the receiver. On June 23, 2025, the Lender filed an amended complaint seeking a declaratory judgment that its conditions for its consent to the lease were reasonable. On July 2, 2025, the lender filed a renewed motion for a temporary receiver. On July 11, 2025, the Company filed an answer with counter claims, seeking among other things declaratory relief that the lenders conditions are unreasonable for the proposed lease renewal. On July 18, the Company filed opposition to the renewed receiver motion. On July 30, 2025, the judge heard arguments on the renewed motion for a temporary receiver. The motion is currently pending. On July 31, the lender filed motion to dismiss counter claims. Currently the Company has until September 3, 2025, to respond and a hearing is currently scheduled for September 10, 2025.

*Commitments*

June 29, 2023, the Company entered into the Article 11 Agreement. Under this agreement, the Company has entered into a Housing Repair and Maintenance Letter Agreement in which the Company has agreed to perform certain capital improvements to Flatbush Gardens over the next 3 years. The current estimate is that the costs of that work will be an amount up to $27 million. The Company expects those costs to be offset by the savings provided by a property tax exemption and enhanced payments for tenants receiving government assistance. Through June 30, 2025 the Company spent approximately $17 million on capital improvements required under the HRMLA.

The Company is obligated to provide parking availability through August 2025 under a lease with a tenant at the 250 Livingston Street property; the current cost to the Company is approximately $205 per year.

*Concentrations*

The Company's properties are located in the Boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn in New York City, which exposes the Company to greater economic risks than if it owned a more geographically dispersed portfolio.

**9. Segment Reporting**

The Company is a New York City real estate investment trust that is focused on developing, redeveloping and operating properties in the commercial and residential space.

Our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), represented by our Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, reviews the results in which the revenue and Income from Operations is divided between the commercial and residential performance. This metric enables the CODM to evaluate how the business is growing, as revenue is the key driver of growth. Additionally, the CODM uses segment income (loss) to allocate resources in the annual budgeting and forecasting process. The CODM considers budget to actual variances when making decisions about allocating capital to each segment.

The Company has classified its reporting segments into commercial and residential rental properties. The commercial reporting segment includes the 141 Livingston Street property and portions of the 250 Livingston Street, Tribeca House, Dean Street and Aspen properties. The residential reporting segment includes the Flatbush Gardens property, the Clover House property, the 10 West 65th Street property, the 1010 Pacific Street property and portions of the 250 Livingston Street, Tribeca House, Dean Street and Aspen properties.

**10. Impairment of long-lived assets**

On March 31, 2025 the Company determined that its long-lived asset group related to 10 West 65<sup>th</sup> Street met the qualifications for an asset held for sale by determining that the sale of 10 West 65<sup>th</sup> Street was probable in addition to the other five criteria previously met. That determination was based on indications that the Company received that it was probable that a purchaser was prepared to purchase 10 West 65<sup>th</sup> Street at a price the Company would be willing to transact.

Long-lived assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of its carrying amount or fair-value less costs to sell. As such, the Company recorded an impairment of the asset held for sale of $33,780 on the Company's consolidated statement of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 and in the residential segment in the Company's segment reporting (see footnote 9), based on the estimated selling price of $45.5 less carrying costs in investment in real estate, net, and estimated selling costs expected at the time of the sale. See footnote 1 for details of the completion of transaction to dispose of the long-lived assets.

**11. Subsequent Events**

On August 7, 2025, the Company declared distributions on its common shares, Class B LLC units and LTIP units totaling $4,614.

**ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT**'**S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

*You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Part I-Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, as well as our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. See* "*Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements*" *in this Form 10-Q.*

**Overview of Our Company**

Clipper Realty Inc. (the "Company" or "we") is a self-administered and self-managed real estate company that acquires, owns, manages, operates and repositions multifamily residential and commercial properties in the New York metropolitan area, with a current portfolio in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Our primary focus is to own, manage and operate our portfolio and to acquire and reposition additional multifamily residential and commercial properties in the New York metropolitan area. The Company has been organized and operates in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the U.S. federal income tax law and elected to be treated as a REIT commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2015.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company owned:

• two neighboring residential/retail rental properties at 50 Murray Street and 53 Park Place in the Tribeca neighborhood of Manhattan;

• one residential property complex in the East Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn consisting of 59 buildings;

• two primarily commercial properties in Downtown Brooklyn (one of which includes 36 residential apartment units);

• one residential/retail rental property at 1955 1st Avenue in Manhattan;

• one residential rental property at 107 Columbia Heights in the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn;

• one residential rental property at 1010 Pacific Street in the Prospect Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn; and

• the Dean Street property, to be redeveloped as a residential/retail rental building.

On May 30, 2025, the Company completed the sale of 10 West 65th Street in Manhattan, a 6-story residential building with approximately 76,000 square feet of residential rental GLA.for gross proceeds of $45,500. The Company incurred $1,900 in closing costs and paid $800 in accrued interest at closing. At closing, the Company repaid in full its $31,200 mortgage note (the "Mortgage") with Flagstar Bank ("Flagstar") (see note 4 below). The Company recorded a loss on the disposal of long-lived assets of $685 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, after previously recording a loss on impairment of long-lived assets of $33,780 in the three months ended March 31, 2025 (see note 10 below).

These properties are located in the most densely populated major city in the United States, each with immediate access to mass transportation.

The Company's ownership interest in its initial portfolio of properties, which includes the Tribeca House, Flatbush Gardens and the two Livingston Street properties, was acquired in the formation transactions in connection with the private offering. These properties are owned by the LLC subsidiaries, which are managed by the Company through the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership's interests in the LLC subsidiaries generally entitle the Operating Partnership to all cash distributions from, and the profits and losses of, the LLC subsidiaries other than the preferred distributions to the continuing investors who hold Class B LLC units in these LLC subsidiaries. The continuing investors own an aggregate amount of 26,317,396 Class B LLC units, representing 62.1% of the Company's common stock on a fully diluted basis. Accordingly, the Operating Partnership's interests in the LLC subsidiaries entitle the Operating Partnership to receive 37.9% of the aggregate distributions from the LLC subsidiaries. The Company, through the Operating Partnership, owns all of the ownership interests in the Aspen property, the Clover House property, the 1010 Pacific Street property and the Dean Street property.

------

**How We Derive Our Revenue**

Our revenue consists primarily of rents received from our residential, commercial and, to a lesser extent, retail tenants. We have two reportable operating segments, Residential Rental Properties and Commercial Rental Properties. See Note 9, "Segment Reporting" to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.

**Trends**

During the second quarter of 2025, the Company's residential properties continued to have elevated occupancy levels and experienced growth in rental rates, as a result of a robust rental market in the New York metro area. The average rental rate per square foot at the Tribeca House property at June 30, 2025 was $85.60, up from $80.93 at June 30, 2024. At the Flatbush Gardens property, average residential rent per square foot at June 30, 2025, was $31.27, up from $28.10 at June 30, 2024. At the Clover House property, average residential rent per square foot at June 30, 2025, was $87.76, an increase from $83.68 at June 30, 2024. Urban office markets have generally been negatively impacted as a result of the increase in remote working that began during the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to less demand for office space.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company's office properties had not been adversely affected from a rent perspective as a result of its long-term leases with the City of New York. However, as of August 23, 2025, the City of New York will vacate 250 Livingston Street. The Company is currently seeking new tenants to replace the City of New York. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to replace the City of New York as its tenant or will be able to replace it at comparable rents. Until a new tenant is located, the Company expects to lose approximately $16 million per annum in combined rental income and property tax and common area maintenance reimbursements.

Additionally, the lease at 141 Livingston Street expires in December 2025. In April of 2025, the Company and the City of New York agreed to the terms of a five-year extension of the lease, with an option for the City of New York to terminate the lease after two years with six-months' notice. The City of New York sent the lease to the Company for signature and the Company sent the lease to the loan special servicer for approval in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement on April 22, 2025. On May 21, 2025, the special servicer approved the lease subject to certain conditions. The Company rejected the conditions and the lease is now subject to the overall litigation dispute. There can be no assurance that the lease will be approved or finalized. Furthermore, the Company is at risk of not replacing the City of New York as its tenant or not being able to replace it at comparable rents. See note 4 to condensed consolidated financial statements, "- Liquidity and Capital Resources" below and Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors."

Throughout the first half of 2025 and all of 2024, we continued to benefit from relatively low interest rates on our debt. Our weighted average interest rate as of June 30, 2025, was approximately 4.2% per annum.

**Results of Operations**

Our focus throughout 2024 and year-to-date 2025 has been to manage our properties to optimize revenues and control costs, while continuing to renovate and reposition certain properties. The discussion below highlights the specific properties contributing to the changes in the results of operations focuses on the properties that were in operation for the full period in each comparison and excludes the results of 10 West 65<sup>th</sup> Street due to its sale on May 30, 2025.

***Revenue***. Residential rental income increased to $28,363 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $26,709 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to increases in rental rates and leased occupancy at all properties in 2025 partially offset by higher bad debt expense. For example, base rent per square foot increased at the Tribeca House property to $85.60 (100% leased occupancy) at June 30, 2025, from $80.93 (99.8% leased occupancy) at June 30, 2024, the Flatbush Gardens property to $31.27 (98.4% leased occupancy) at June 30, 2025, from $28.10 (98.5% leased occupancy) at June 30, 2024.

Commercial rental income increased to $9,979 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $9,595 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 due to slightly higher escalation income at our commercial properties and rents from new leases.

***Property operating expenses***. Property operating expenses include property-level costs such as compensation costs for property-level personnel, repairs and maintenance, supplies, utilities and landscaping. Property operating expenses increased to $9,446 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $8,780 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to higher tenant legal and payroll costs at the Flatbush Gardens property partially offset by lower utilities costs across the Company.

***Real estate taxes and insurance****.* Real estate taxes and insurance expenses increased to $7,333 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $7,165 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to slightly increased real estate taxes and insurance premiums across the portfolio.

***General and administrative***. General and administrative expenses increased to $3,732 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $3,379 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to higher LTIP amortization.

***Depreciation and amortization***. Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $7,314 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $7,163 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 due to additions to real estate across the portfolio.

***Interest expense, net***. Interest expense, net, increased to $11,157 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $11,096 for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

***Net loss***. As a result of the foregoing, net loss decreased to $656 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $1,279 for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

------

***Revenue***. Residential rental income increased to $56,483 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $51,805 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to increases in rental rates and leased occupancy at all properties in 2025 partially offset by higher bad debt expense. For example, base rent per square foot increased at the Tribeca House property to $85.60 (100% leased occupancy) at June 30, 2025, from $80.93 (99.8% leased occupancy) at June 30, 2024, the Flatbush Gardens property to $31.27 (98.4% leased occupancy) at June 30, 2025, from $28.10 (98.5% leased occupancy) at June 30, 2024.

Commercial rental income increased to $20,183 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $19,245 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, due to slightly higher escalation income at our commercial properties and rents from new leases.

***Property operating expenses***. Property operating expenses include property-level costs such as compensation costs for property-level personnel, repairs and maintenance, supplies, utilities and landscaping. Property operating expenses increased to $19,357 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $17,203 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to due to higher tenant legal, supplies and payroll costs at the Flatbush Gardens property and higher utilities costs across the Company partially offset by lower repair and maintenance costs primarily at Flatbush Gardens.

***Real estate taxes and insurance****.* Real estate taxes and insurance expenses increased to $14,682 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $14,029 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to higher real estate taxes and insurance premiums.

***General and administrative***. General and administrative expenses increased to $7,438 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $6,806 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to higher LTIP amortization, partially offset by lower professional fees..

***Depreciation and amortization***. Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $14,660 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $14,250 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, due to the additions to real estate across the portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

***Interest expense, net***. Interest expense, net, decreased to $22,120 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $22,187 for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

***Net loss***. As a result of the foregoing, net loss decreased to $1,607 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $3,425 for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

As of June 30, 2025, we had $1,268 million of indebtedness, net of unamortized issuance costs, secured by our properties, $32,029 of cash and cash equivalents, and $28,809 of restricted cash. See Note 4, "Notes Payable" of our consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the Company's property-level debt.

As a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains, to stockholders on an annual basis. We expect that these needs will be met from cash generated from operations and other sources, including proceeds from secured mortgages and unsecured indebtedness, proceeds from additional equity issuances and cash generated from the sale of property.

***Short-Term and Long-Term Liquidity Needs***

Our short-term liquidity needs will primarily be to fund operating expenses, recurring capital expenditures, property taxes and insurance, interest and scheduled debt principal payments, general and administrative expenses, and distributions to stockholders and unit holders. We generally expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through net cash provided by operations and cash on hand, and we believe we will have sufficient resources to meet our short-term liquidity requirements

Our principal long-term liquidity needs will primarily be to fund additional property acquisitions, major renovation and upgrading projects, and debt payments and retirements at maturity. We do not expect that net cash provided by operations will be sufficient to meet all of these long-term liquidity needs. We anticipate meeting our long-term liquidity requirements by using cash as an interim measure and funds from public and private equity offerings and long-term secured and unsecured debt offerings. The Company sold the property known as 10 West 65th Street during the quarter ended June 30, 2025, and was able to net approximately $13,000 in proceeds from such sale that are included in our cash balances at June 30, 2025. Additionally, the Company refinanced its existing construction loan at its Dean Street property with a maximum of $160 million bridge loan, of which $141,750 million was drawn at closing, and the potential to draw additional amounts that can be used for general corporate purposes.

We believe that as a publicly traded REIT, we will have access to multiple sources of capital to fund our long-term liquidity requirements. These sources include the incurrence of additional debt and the issuance of additional equity. However, we cannot provide assurance that this will be the case. Our ability to secure additional debt will depend on a number of factors, including our cash flow from operations, our degree of leverage, the value of our unencumbered assets and borrowing restrictions that may be imposed. Our ability to access the equity capital markets will depend on a number of factors as well, including general market conditions for REITs and market perceptions about our company.

------

We believe that our current cash flows from operations and cash on hand, coupled with additional mortgage debt, will be sufficient to allow us to continue operations, satisfy our contractual obligations and make distributions to our stockholders and the members of our LLC subsidiaries for at least the next twelve months. However, no assurance can be given that we will be able to refinance any of our outstanding indebtedness in the future on favorable terms or at all.

***Distributions***

In order to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes, we must currently distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our shareholders. On May 7, 2025 the company declared dividends and distributions on our common shares, Class B LLC units and LTIP units totaling $4.6 million paid on May 30, 2025. During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we paid dividends and distributions on our common shares, Class B LLC units and LTIP units totaling $9.2 million and $8.8 million, respectively.

***Cash Flows for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands)***

|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Six Months Ended<br> June 30,** | **Six Months Ended<br> June 30,** |
|  | **2025** | **2024** |
| Operating activities | $15044 | $15044 |
| Investing activities | 17967 | (42051) |
| Financing activities | (10225) | 27526 |

---

*Cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities, investing activities and financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, were as follows:*

Net cash flow provided by operating activities was $15,044 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $15,044 for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Net cash provided in investing activities was $17,967 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $42,051 used for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to proceeds from the sale of 10 West 65<sup>th</sup> Street and decreased capital spending at the Dean Street development as it approached its completion.

Net cash used by financing activities was $10,225 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $27,526 provided for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Cash was used in the six months ended June 30, 2025, for the repayment of $31,438 mortgage loan in conjunction with sale of 10 West 65<sup>th</sup> Street, $9,227 of dividend and distribution payments and $2,996 of loan issuance costs, partially offset by of $34,231 related to the Dean Street property borrowings on the construction loan and subsequent refinance. Cash was provided in the six months ended June 30, 2024, by $37,303 of borrowings related to the Dean Street property and partially offset by distributions of $8,792.

***Income Taxes***

No provision has been made for income taxes since all of the Company's operations are held in pass-through entities and accordingly the income or loss of the Company is included in the individual income tax returns of the partners or members.

------

We elected to be treated as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, beginning with our first taxable three months ended March 31, 2015. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income that we distribute to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. We believe that we are organized and operate in a manner that will enable us to qualify and be taxed as a REIT and we intend to continue to operate to satisfy the requirements for qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

***Inflation***

Inflation has recently become a factor in the United States economy and has increased the cost of acquiring, developing, replacing and operating properties. A substantial portion of our interest costs relating to operating properties are fixed through 2027. Leases at our residential rental properties, which comprise approximately 74% of our revenue, are short-term in nature and permit rent increases to recover increased costs, and our longer-term commercial and retail leases generally allow us to recover some increased operating costs.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we disclose and discuss funds from operations ("FFO"), adjusted funds from operations ("AFFO"), adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") and net operating income ("NOI"), all of which meet the definition of "non-GAAP financial measures" set forth in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC.

While management and the investment community in general believe that presentation of these measures provides useful information to investors, neither FFO, AFFO, Adjusted EBITDA, nor NOI should be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or income from operations as an indication of our performance. We believe that to understand our performance further, FFO, AFFO, Adjusted EBITDA, and NOI should be compared with our reported net income (loss) or income from operations and considered in addition to cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our consolidated financial statements.

***Funds From Operations and Adjusted Funds From Operations***

FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and impairment adjustments, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Our calculation of FFO is consistent with FFO as defined by NAREIT.

AFFO is defined by us as FFO excluding amortization of identifiable intangibles incurred in property acquisitions, straight-line rent adjustments to revenue from long-term leases, amortization costs incurred in originating debt, interest rate cap mark-to-market adjustments, amortization of non-cash equity compensation, acquisition and other costs, transaction pursuit costs, loss on modification/extinguishment of debt, gain on involuntary conversion, gain on termination of lease, impairment of long-lived assets, disposals of long-lived assets and certain litigation-related expenses, less recurring capital spending.

Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. In fact, real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions. FFO is intended to be a standard supplemental measure of operating performance that excludes historical cost depreciation and valuation adjustments from net income. We consider FFO useful in evaluating potential property acquisitions and measuring operating performance. We further consider AFFO useful in determining funds available for payment of distributions. Neither FFO nor AFFO represent net income (loss) or cash flows from operations computed in accordance with GAAP. You should not consider FFO and AFFO to be alternatives to net income (loss) as reliable measures of our operating performance; nor should you consider FFO and AFFO to be alternatives to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as measures of liquidity.

Neither FFO nor AFFO measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all of our cash needs, including principal amortization, capital improvements and distributions to stockholders. FFO and AFFO do not represent cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities computed in accordance with GAAP. Further, FFO and AFFO as disclosed by other REITs might not be comparable to our calculations of FFO and AFFO.

------

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of the Company's FFO and AFFO for the periods presented to net loss, computed in accordance with GAAP (amounts in thousands):

***Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization***

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure of our operating performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before allocation to non-controlling interests, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, amortization of identifiable intangibles, straight-line rent adjustments to revenue from long-term leases, amortization of non-cash equity compensation, interest expense (net), acquisition and other costs, transaction pursuit costs, loss on modification/extinguishment of debt, impairment of long-lived assets, disposals of long-lived assets and certain litigation-related expenses, less gain on involuntary conversion and gain on termination of lease.

We believe that this measure provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP income from operations or net income (loss). We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be a meaningful financial measure of our core operating performance.

However, Adjusted EBITDA should only be used as an alternative measure of our financial performance. Further, other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating Adjusted EBITDA, and accordingly, our Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to that of other REITs.

| Adjusted EBITDA | $19374 | $18325 | $38494 | $35506 |

***Net Operating Income***

We believe that NOI is a useful measure of our operating performance. We define NOI as income from operations plus real estate depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, acquisition and other costs, transaction pursuit costs, amortization of identifiable intangibles and straight-line rent adjustments to revenue from long-term leases, impairment of long-lived assets less gain on termination of lease. We believe that this measure is widely recognized and provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP income from operations or net income (loss). We use NOI to evaluate our performance because NOI allows us to evaluate the operating performance of our company by measuring the core operations of property performance and capturing trends in rental housing and property operating expenses. NOI is also a widely used metric in valuation of properties.

However, NOI should only be used as an alternative measure of our financial performance. Further, other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to that of other REITs.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of NOI for the periods presented to income from operations, computed in accordance with GAAP (amounts in thousands):

**Critical Accounting Policies**

Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe that there have been no material changes to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies under Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

------

**Recent Accounting Pronouncements**

See Note 2, "Significant Accounting Policies" of our consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.

**ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**

Our future income, cash flows and fair value relevant to our financial instruments depend upon prevailing market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. Based upon the nature of our operations, the principal market risk to which we are exposed is the risk related to interest rate fluctuations. Many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations, and other factors that are beyond our control, contribute to interest rate risk.

A one percent change in interest rates on our $142.8 million of variable rate debt as of June 30, 2025, would impact annual net loss by approximately $1.4 million.

At June 30, 2025, the Company had one interest rate cap with US Bank that caps the SOFR portion of the interest rate on the 953 Dean Street Loans at 6%.

The fair value of the Company's notes payable was approximately $1,245.0 million and $1,160.4 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively

**ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

**Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

The Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of June 30, 2025. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, and summarized, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

We continue to review and document our disclosure controls and procedures, including our internal controls and procedures for financial reporting, and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and to ensure that our systems evolve with our business.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management's evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**PART II** – **OTHER INFORMATION**

**ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS** 

See Note 7, "Commitments and Contingencies" of our condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of legal proceedings.

------

**ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS**

The risk factors disclosed in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, set forth information relating to various risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, and operating results. Such risk factors continue to be relevant to an understanding of our business, financial condition, liquidity and operating results as of June 30, 2025, and there have been no material changes to those risk factors for the six months ended June 30, 2025 except for the following updates:

***We depend on two commercial leases with certain agencies of the City of New York (NYC), as a single government tenant in our office buildings, with one lease terminating effective August 23, 2025, and the other lease expiring on December 27, 2025. Our inability to replace NYC as a tenant at rent rates comparable to the rates in the lease that terminates in August 2025 or to enter into a five-year extension of the lease expiring in December 2025 could cause a material adverse effect on us, including our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.***

Our rental revenue depends on entering into leases with and collecting rents from tenants. As of June 30, 2025, Kings County Court, the Human Resources Administration, and the Department of Environmental Protection, all of which are agencies of the City of New York, leased an aggregate of 548,580 rentable square feet of commercial space at our commercial office properties at 141 Livingston Street and 250 Livingston Street, the rents from which represented approximately 21% of our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025. We are also subject to covenants covering these leases in our loan agreements related to our commercial office properties located at 250 Livingston Street and 141 Livingston Street. Breaches of these covenants could result in defaults under the loan agreements.

*250 Livingston Street Property*

As of February 23, 2024, The City of New York, a municipal corporation acting through the Department of Citywide Administrative Services ("NYC"), notified us of its intention to terminate its lease at 250 Livingston Street effective August 23, 2025. The lease generally provides for rent payments in the amount of $15.4 million per annum. We may be unable to replace NYC as a tenant or unable to replace it with other commercial tenants at comparable rent rates, may incur substantial costs to improve the vacated space or may have to offer significant inducements to fill the space, all of which may have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

On March 18, 2025, we were notified by legal counsel to the servicer for the loan related to the 250 Livingston Street property that, due to the failure of our subsidiary, 250 Livingston Owner LLC, to cause all revenue generated by the 250 Livingston Street property to be deposited into the cash management account as required by the loan agreement related to the $125 million building mortgage loan, an event of default occurred under the $125 million building mortgage loan. The notice provided that if the 250 Livingston Owner LLC fails to cure the event of default, the lender may, among other things, accelerate the $125 million building mortgage loan and demand all amounts owing to the lender to be immediately payable, institute proceedings for the foreclosure of all liens securing the loan and sell the 250 Livingston Street Property, or file a lawsuit against the 250 Livingston owner LLC or the guarantors. As of May 12, 2025, we have complied with the lender's requirement to have the deposits made by all tenants deposited directly into the cash management account. On May 8, 2025, we transferred $6.3 million to the cash management account to cover amounts owed prior to the activation of the cash management account. On May 15, 2025, legal counsel for the lender notified us that they allege that we are in default on the $125 million mortgage loan due to its allegation that we, as the guarantor, did not maintain a net worth of not less than $100 million as of December 31, 2024, as required under the loan agreement. We replied to the lender disputing such calculation and alleging that the lender did not calculate net worth in a reasonable manner and provided our lender with our own calculation of net worth that shows a net worth in excess of the required amount. On May 28, 2025, the lender replied to us concurring with us and notifying us that they agree that we are compliant with the $100 million requirement. On July 28, 2025, we were notified by legal counsel for the lender that they alleged that we were once again in default for failure to remit all revenue derived from 250 Livingston into the cash management account. We responded by disputing the allegations in the May 8, 2025, letter and noting all rents from the tenants have been deposited into the cash management account.

All amounts remaining in such cash management account after the lender's allocations set forth in the loan agreement will be disbursed to us once the tenant cure conditions are satisfied under the loan agreement. If we are unable to replace the NYC lease at comparable rents, we may not be able to cure the conditions listed in the loan agreement. If the excess cash is not released to us, it could impact our available cash to fund corporate operations and pay dividends and distributions to our stockholders.

*141 Livingston Street Property*

The 141 Livingston Street lease expires on December 27, 2025, and if NYC were to decide not to renew or extend such lease on its stated termination date, pursuant to the terms of the lease, we would be at risk of not being able to replace NYC as a tenant, leasing the space below the current rates, incurring costs to improve the space or offer other inducements to fill the space, all of which may have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

Our subsidiary, 141 Livingston Owner LLC (the "Borrower") and Citi Real Estate Funding Inc. entered into the loan agreement related to a $100 million loan. The loan is evidenced by promissory mortgage notes and secured by the 141 Livingston Street property. We and our Operating Partnership subsidiary serve as limited guarantors of certain obligations under the loan, including those related to the reserve monthly deposit discussed below.

If we are not able to extend or replace the NYC lease at our 141 Livingston Street property for a minimum of a five-year term, we will be required to either fund a reserve account in the amount of $10 million payable in equal monthly payments over the 18 months after lease expiration or deliver to the lender a letter of credit in the amount of $10 million.

On October 28, 2024, we received notice that, as of October 7, 2024, the servicing of the mortgage notes was transferred to a special servicer (the "Special Servicer") due to our alleged failure to make certain required payments under the loan agreement, including, but not limited to, the reserve deposit starting on July 7, 2024. The Special Servicer demanded that we pay (i) $2.2 million of reserve payments into a reserve account immediately (for July-October 2024) and continued monthly payments of $555,555 for an additional 14 months, (ii) $1.2 million of default interest and late charges through October 7, 2024, and (iii) an additional $10,417 per diem interest for each day thereafter.

On November 11, 2024, the Special Servicer notified the Borrower that, due to its alleged event of default under the Loan Agreement, as a result of the failure to make the payments described above, the mortgage notes have been accelerated, and all amounts under the loan agreement were due and payable. Such amounts included, but were not limited to, $100.0 million principal amount of the mortgage notes, approximately $5.0 million of default yield maintenance premium, $10.0 million aggregate reserve deposit, and the above-described penalty default interest and penalties.

We believe that (i) we have made timely payments under the loan agreement, (ii) the servicer and the Special Servicer have misinterpreted the terms of the loan agreement requiring monthly reserve payments beginning on July 7, 2024, (iii) we have no current obligation to make such reserve payments under the loan agreement and (iv) we should not be obligated to pay the default interest and late charges.

On December 18, 2024, we received notice from the Special Servicer that due to its allegation that we as the Guarantor did not maintain a net worth of not less than $100 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively, as required under the loan agreement, we were in default on the loan. We replied to the Special Servicer disputing such calculation and alleging that the Special Servicer did not calculate net worth in a reasonable manner. We provided the Special Servicer with our own calculation of net worth that shows a net worth in excess of the required amount.

On January 21, 2025, we received notice from the Special Servicer alleging that certain elements of our insurance on the building at 141 Livingston Street were not in compliance with the loan agreement requirements, including, but not limited to, due to a deductible in excess of what is permitted under the terms of the loan agreement and the use of an insurance carrier with a rating agency rating below that which is permitted under the terms of the loan agreement.

On March 12, 2025, we received a letter from counsel to the successor to the special servicer reaffirming the occurrence of alleged events of default under the loan agreement described above and demanding the establishment of a restricted account, a cash management account and a debt service account. In addition, the letter demanded that tenants of 141 Livingston Street be sent notices directing them to make lease payments to the cash management account.

We believe that we are not required to establish the foregoing accounts or send such notices to the tenants. However, if we are required to establish such accounts and deliver such notices, it could impact our available cash to fund corporate operations and pay dividends and distributions to our stockholders.

On March 20, 2025, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee for the benefit of the registered holders of certain pass-through certificates issued by trusts that are the holders of the promissory mortgage notes secured by the 141 Livingston Street property, referred to as "Plaintiff," filed a lawsuit against the Borrower, as well as us and our Operating Partnership subsidiary, as guarantors, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York. Plaintiff demands, among other things, that (i) the 141 Livingston Street property be sold and the Plaintiff be paid the amounts due under the loan agreement, with interest thereon to the time of such payment, together with, among other items, the expenses of the sale, Plaintiff's attorneys' fees; (ii) Plaintiff be paid all rents and revenues of the 141 Livingston Street property as they become due and payable; (iii) a receiver be appointed to manage the 141 Livingston Street property, with power among other things to demand and recover payment from anyone who has received a distribution from 141 Borrower after any event of default; (iv) Plaintiff have such other and further relief as may be just and equitable; (v) guarantors pay to Plaintiff the amount of any losses or damages suffered or incurred by Plaintiff as the court may determine to be just and equitable and amounts owed under the guaranty. We believe that the claims set forth in this complaint are without merit and intend to vigorously defend against this lawsuit.

On April 7, 2025, we filed an Affirmation in opposition to the motion of the Plaintiff for the appointment of a receiver and in support of defendants cross motion to dismiss the action and cancel notice of pendency with the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Kings. A hearing on the motions was scheduled for April 8, 2025, but it was adjourned until May 6, 2025. The Plaintiff submitted additional filings on April 29, 2025, and we submitted our replies on May 6, 2025. On May 13, 2025, the Court denied (i) the Plaintiff's motion to appoint a receiver to manage the 141 Livingston Street property, "as Plaintiff's likelihood of ultimately prevailing on its claims herein appears remote" and (ii) the Company's cross motion to dismiss the lawsuit, "as Plaintiff's contentions do raise a question of fact". On XXX new events happened that we need to add.

In April 2025, we and the NYC agreed to the terms of a five-year extension of the current lease, with an option for the NYC to terminate the lease after two years with a prior six-month notice. The NYC has sent the lease to us to sign. On April 22, 2025, we sent the lease to the loan special servicer for approval in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. On May 21, 2025 the special servicer approved the lease subject to certain conditions. We rejected the conditions that amongst other changes required us to change the terms of the cancellation provisions in the lease and make amendments to the loan documents to be in the line with the lenders allegations in the above lawsuit. There can be no assurance that the lease will be approved or finalized.

On June 11, 2025, the lender filed an appeal of the denial of the receiver. On June 23, 2025, the Lender filed an amended complaint seeking a declaratory judgment that its conditions for its consent to the lease were reasonable. On July 2, 2025, the lender filed a renewed motion for a temporary receiver. On July 11, 2025, the Company filed an answer with counter claims, seeking among other things declaratory relief that the lenders conditions are unreasonable for the proposed lease renewal. On July 18, 2025 We filed opposition to the renewed receiver motion. On July 30, 2025, the judge heard arguments on the renewed motion for a temporary receiver. The motion is currently pending. On July 31, the lender filed motion to dismiss counter claims. Currently we have until September 3, 2025, to respond and a hearing is currently scheduled for September 10, 2025.

There can be no assurance that the lease will be approved or finalized or that we will prevail in or successfully settle the litigation described above. Failure to successfully resolve the dispute related to 141 Livingston Street property could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, even if we were successful in defending against this lawsuit, such defense would distract our management team from our operations, which could have an adverse effect on our business. In addition, any uncertainties resulting from the continuation of any litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

See Note 4, Notes Payable, to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in Part I of this Form 10-Q for additional information related to 141 Livingston Street property and 250 Livingston Street property.

***David Bistricer, our Co-Chairman of the board of directors and Chief Executive Officer, and Sam Levinson, our Co-Chairman of the board of directors and Head of the Investment Committee, have outside business interests that will take their time and attention away from us, which could materially and adversely affect us. In addition, notwithstanding the Investment Policy, members of our senior management may in certain circumstances engage in activities that compete with our activities or in which their business interests and ours may be in conflict.***

David Bistricer, our Co-Chairman of the board of directors and Chief Executive Officer, Sam Levinson our Co-Chairman of the board of directors and Chairman of the Investment Committee and other members of our senior management team continue to own interests in properties and businesses that were not contributed to us in the formation transactions. For instance, each of David Bistricer, our Co-Chairman of the board of directors and Chief Executive Officer, JJ Bistricer, our Chief Operating Officer, Sam Levinson, our Co-Chairman of the board of directors and Chairman of the Investment Committee, and Jacob Schwimmer, our Chief Property Management Officer, has ownership interests in real estate outside of the Company. David Bistricer, our Co-Chairman of the board of directors and Chief Executive Officer, and JJ Bistricer, our Chief Operating Officer, own Clipper Equity. However, Clipper Equity does not own any real estate assets.

We have adopted an Investment Policy that provides that our officers, including David Bistricer, JJ Bistricer and Jacob Schwimmer, are not required to present certain identified investment opportunities to us, including assets located outside the New York metropolitan area, for-sale condominium or cooperative conversions, development projects, projects that would require us to obtain guarantees from third parties or to backstop obligations of other parties, and land acquisitions. As a result, except to the extent that our officers must present certain identified business opportunities to us, our officers have no duty to refrain from engaging, directly or indirectly, in the same business activities or similar business activities or lines of business in which we or our subsidiaries engage or propose to engage or to refrain from otherwise competing with us, and therefore may compete with us for investments in properties and for tenants. These individuals also may pursue acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to our business, and, as a result, those acquisition opportunities may not be available to us.

We and members of our senior management may also determine to enter into joint ventures or co-investment relationships with respect to one or more properties. As a result of the foregoing, there may at times be a conflict between the interests of members of our senior management and our business interests. Further, although David Bistricer, JJ Bistricer and Jacob Schwimmer will devote such portion of their business time and attention to our business as is appropriate and will be compensated on that basis, under their employment agreements, they will also devote substantial time to other business and investment activities.

(A) Rents for the Tenant Leases (as hereinafter defined) which are paid for the calendar month in which the date of Closing occurs shall be adjusted by the parties at the Closing.

If any tenant of the Building ("Tenant") is in arrears in the payment of rent on the Closing Date, rents received from such Tenant after the Closing shall be applied in the following order of priority: (a) first to the month preceding the month in which the Closing occurred; (b) then to the month in which the Closing occurred; (c) then to any month or months following the month in which the Closing occurred, and (d) then to any periods prior to the month preceding the month in which the Closing occurred. If rents or any portion thereof received by Seller or Purchaser after the Closing, adjusted to the closing date, are payable to the other party by reason of this allocation, the appropriate sum shall be promptly paid to the other party, which obligation shall survive the Closing.

------

If any Tenant is required to pay escalation charges for real estate taxes, operating expenses, or other charges of a similar nature (collectively, "Additional Rents") and any Additional Rents are collected by Purchaser after the Closing which are attributable in whole or in part to any period prior to the Closing (collectively, "Seller Period Additional Rents"), then Purchaser shall promptly pay to Seller such Seller Period Additional Rents, adjusted to the closing date. With respect to Additional Rents, Purchaser agrees, on the respective due dates thereof, or as soon thereafter as is practicable, to bill the applicable Tenant therefor.

If Purchaser shall commence litigation to recover Purchaser's share of such Additional Rents, or any other rent due from any Tenant, then Purchaser agrees to so advise Seller, and at Seller's then written request, Purchaser shall include in such litigation a claim for Seller Period Additional Rents and any other sums due and owing to Seller. Any recovery shall be shared by Seller and Purchaser in proportion to their respective claims based on the apportionment date set forth in this Article, and all reasonable attorneys' fees and other reasonable expenses in such litigation shall be also so shared in the same manner. If such amounts are not collected by Purchaser and Purchaser refuses or delays to commence appropriate litigation therefor, Purchaser shall assign all of Purchaser's claims therefor to Seller, and Seller shall be authorized, at Purchaser's expense, to commence appropriate litigation, in Purchaser's name if required, to collect such Additional Rents or other rents, and Seller shall pay Purchaser Purchaser's pro rata share, based on the apportionment date set forth above in this Article, of any recovery less a pro rata share of reasonable litigation expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements). This paragraph shall survive the Closing;

(B) Real estate taxes on the basis of the year for which assessed. If the Closing shall occur before the tax rate is fixed, the apportionment shall be upon the basis of the tax rate for the next preceding year applied to the latest assessed valuation;

(C) Street vault charges, if any, on the basis of the fiscal year for which assessed;

(D) Sewer rents and charges, if any, on the basis of the fiscal year for which assessed;

------

(B) Seller has the option to credit Purchaser as an adjustment to the Purchase Price with the security deposit amount and the amount of any unpaid taxes, assessments, water charges and sewer rents, together with any interest and penalties thereon. If at Closing there are other liens or encumbrances that Seller is obligated to pay or discharge, Seller may use any portion of the Balance to pay or discharge them, provided that Seller shall simultaneously deliver to Purchaser's title company at Closing instruments in recordable form sufficient to satisfy such liens or encumbrances of record, together with the cost of recording or filing said instruments. Upon notice given prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall provide separate certified or official bank checks as requested to assist in clearing up these matters.

1.2.6 Except as otherwise herein expressly provided, the "Customs in Respect of Title Closings" last adopted by the Real Estate Board of New York, Inc., shall apply to the apportionments herein mentioned.

1.2.7 Gas, electricity and other public utility charges accruing through the date preceding the Closing Date shall be paid by Seller to the utility company prior to or at the Closing, unless same are the obligation of a Tenant.

1.2.8 The provisions of this Article shall survive the Closing for a period of ninety (90) days.

**<u>ARTICLE II</u>**

**<u>REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER</u>**

Seller hereby makes the following representations and warranties, each of which is true and correct on the date hereof and will be true and correct as of the date of Closing:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1 <u>Organization and Standing of Seller</u>. Seller is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of New York.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2 <u>Authority Relative to this Agreement</u>. Seller has full power, capacity and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. To the actual knowledge of Seller, no other proceedings on the part of Seller (or any other person) or additional consents are necessary to authorize the execution and delivery by Seller of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Purchaser shall cooperate (at no cost to Purchaser) in good faith with Seller by executing any documents and instruments or taking any actions reasonably required to implement such a 1031 Exchange, such obligation to survive the Closing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.25 <u>No Contingencies</u>. This Agreement is not contingent upon (i) Purchaser's ability to finance the transaction, or (ii) any other matter or condition except as may be expressly stated herein.

Purchaser and Purchaser Parties shall not disclose or publicize the Transaction to the general public either prior to or after the Closing. A breach by Purchaser and/or Purchaser Parties of this Section 7.26 shall constitute a material default under this Agreement which shall entitle (but not obligate) Seller to exercise any and/or all of Seller's rights and remedies under this Agreement, at law and/or in equity. The terms of this Section 7.26 shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.27 <u>Attorney Review</u>. Purchaser represents and warrants that Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to have this Agreement reviewed by counsel and Purchaser has had same reviewed by counsel or voluntarily elected to waive such right.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.28 <u>Mortgage Assignment</u>. Seller shall use reasonable, good faith efforts to cause the Mortgagee to assign the Mortgage to Purchaser's lender, if any, provided, however, that the mortgage tax savings resulting from such assignment shall be apportioned equally between Seller and Purchaser.

PURCHASER: "**[REDACTED]**, and/or an LLC to be provided later<u> </u>

PREMISES: 10 West 65<sup>th</sup> Street, New York, New York<u> </u>

------

Purchaser's Downpayment check or federal funds wire in the amount of $4,550,000.00 made payable to the order of Jeffrey Zwick & Associates, P.C., As Attorneys ("Escrow Agent"), was delivered to Escrow Agent at the time of the execution and delivery of this Agreement. The parties agree that the Downpayment shall be held by Escrow Agent in escrow in a non-interest bearing IOLA account and disposed of only in accordance with the provisions of this Escrow Rider to Purchase and Sale Agreement ("Agreement").

(a) Escrow Agent shall deliver the Downpayment to Seller or to Purchaser, as the case may be, under the following conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) To Seller at the Closing upon the consummation thereof; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) To Seller upon receipt of written demand therefor, stating that Purchaser has defaulted in the performance of the Agreement and the facts and circumstances underlying such default; provided, however, that Escrow Agent shall not honor such demand until more than ten (10) business days after Escrow Agent shall have mailed a copy of such demand to Purchaser, nor thereafter if Escrow Agent shall have received written notice of objection from Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of subparagraph (b) of this Escrow Rider; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) To Purchaser upon receipt of written demand therefor, stating that Seller has defaulted in the performance of the Agreement and the facts and circumstances underlying such default; provided, however, that Escrow Agent shall not honor such demand until more than ten (10) business days after Escrow Agent has mailed a copy of such demand to Seller, nor thereafter if Escrow Agent shall have received written notice of objection from Seller in accordance with the provisions of subparagraph (b) of this Escrow Rider.

(b) Upon the filing of a written demand for the Downpayment by Purchaser or Seller, pursuant to subsections (ii) or (iii) of subparagraph (a) of this Escrow Rider, Escrow Agent shall promptly send a copy thereof to the other party in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in Section 7.3 of the Agreement. The other party shall have the right to object to the delivery of the Downpayment by filing written notice of such objection with Escrow Agent at any time within ten (10) business days after the mailing of such copy to it, but not thereafter. Such notice shall set forth the basis for objecting to the delivery of the Downpayment. Upon receipt of such notice, Escrow Agent shall promptly mail a copy thereof to the party who filed the written demand.

------

(c) In the event Escrow Agent shall have received the notice of objection provided for in subparagraph (b) above of this Escrow Rider and within the time therein prescribed, Escrow Agent shall continue to hold the Downpayment until (i) Escrow Agent receives written notice from Seller and Purchaser directing the disbursement of said Downpayment, in which case Escrow Agent shall then disburse said Downpayment in accordance with said direction, or (ii) in the event of litigation between Seller and Purchaser, Escrow Agent shall deposit the Downpayment with the Clerk of the Court in which said litigation is pending or (iii) Escrow Agent takes such affirmative steps as Escrow Agent may, at Escrow Agent's option, elect in order to terminate Escrow Agent's duties as Escrow Agent, and shall deposit the Downpayment in Court and bring an action for interpleader, the costs thereof to be borne by whichever of Seller or Purchaser is the losing party.

(d) Escrow Agent may act upon any instrument or other writing believed by Escrow Agent, in good faith, to be genuine and to be signed and presented by the proper person, and shall not be liable in connection with the performance of any duties imposed upon Escrow Agent by the provisions of this Agreement except for Escrow Agent's own willful misconduct and gross negligence. Escrow Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those set forth herein. Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any modification of this Agreement unless the same is in writing and signed by Purchaser and Seller, and, if Escrow Agent's duties hereunder are affected, unless Escrow Agent shall have given prior written consent thereto. In the event that Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to Escrow Agent's duties or rights hereunder, or shall receive instructions from Purchaser or Seller which, in Escrow Agent's opinion, are in conflict with any of the provisions hereof, Escrow Agent shall be entitled to hold and apply the Downpayment pursuant to subparagraph (c) of this Escrow Rider and may decline to take any other action.

(e) Seller and Purchaser shall be jointly and severally obligated to indemnify Escrow Agent and hold Escrow Agent harmless from and against any claim asserted against Escrow Agent or any liability, loss or damage incurred by Escrow Agent in connection herewith except as arising out of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent shall have a lien upon all the securities, cash, documents, instruments or any other property held by Escrow Agent hereunder for any claim, liability, loss, damage, costs or expenses, including reasonable fees and disbursements, which may arise hereunder. Escrow Agent shall be entitled to represent Seller in any dispute with respect to the Escrow Fund, or otherwise, and Seller and Purchaser agree that same shall not be deemed a conflict of interest.

**NOW THEREFORE**, in consideration of the making of the Loan by Lender and the covenants, agreements, representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, the parties hereto hereby covenant, agree, represent and warrant as follows:

**ARTICLE 1 <u>DEFINITIONS; PRINCIPLES OF CONSTRUCTION</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.01** **Definitions**. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in the body of this Agreement will have the meanings set forth in the Definitions Schedule attached as Schedule 1 to this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.02** **Principles of Construction**. All references to sections and schedules are to sections and schedules in or to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. All uses of the word "including" shall mean "including, without limitation" unless the context shall indicate otherwise. Unless otherwise specified, the words "hereof," "herein" and "hereunder" and words of similar import when used in this Agreement will refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. Unless otherwise specified, all meanings attributed to defined terms herein will be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of the terms so defined.

**ARTICLE 2 <u>GENERAL LOAN TERMS</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.01** **Loan Terms.** Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Lender hereby agrees to make and Borrower hereby agrees to accept the Loan on the Closing Date. The Loan will be evidenced by the Note and will bear interest and be paid in accordance with the payment terms set forth in the Note and this Agreement. Any amount borrowed and repaid hereunder in respect of the Loan may not be reborrowed.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.02** **Use of Proceeds.** Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loan only to (a) acquire the Property or repay and discharge any existing loans relating to the Property, (b) make initial deposits into the Reserve Accounts on the Closing Date in the amounts provided herein, (c) pay costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the closing of the Loan, as approved by Lender, (d) return equity to Borrower, and (e) fund any working capital requirements of the Property; provided that Borrower shall use each applicable Additional Advance solely for the purposes contemplated by Section 2.03 of the Mezzanine Loan Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.03** **Loan Advances**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Borrower shall receive, on the date hereof, one borrowing hereunder with respect to the Note in the amount shown on Lender's settlement statement prepared in connection with the closing of the Loan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) No additional advances are available to Borrower in connection with the Loan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.04** **Interest; Required Payments**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Interest</u>. From and after the date hereof, interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance shall accrue at the Interest Rate and be payable as hereinafter provided. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan, shall accrue at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein. Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the default until the actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then due). To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the Security Instrument. This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) On the date hereof, Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount equal to interest only on the Outstanding Principal Balance for the Interest Period in which the Closing Date occurs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) On the Payment Date occurring in June, 2025 and on each Payment Date thereafter up to and including the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender the Monthly Payment Amount; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Borrower shall pay the entire outstanding Debt to Lender on the Maturity Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) So long as no Event of Default then exists, all payments made hereunder will be applied (i) first to amounts due and payable with respect to the Loan other than principal and interest (but including interest at the Default Rate), and then (ii) to accrued and unpaid interest at the Interest Rate, and then (iii) to the Outstanding Principal Balance.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance shall be calculated by multiplying (i) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (ii) the Interest Rate divided by three hundred sixty (360) by (iii) the Outstanding Principal Balance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Payments will be paid by Borrower, without set-off or counterclaim, by wire transfer to Lender at Lender's office or such other location or account as Lender may specify to Borrower from time to time, in federal or other immediately available funds in lawful money of the United States of America, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on each Payment Date. For purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating Interest Periods, if the day on which such payment is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) If any principal, interest or any other sum due under the Loan Documents (other than the Outstanding Principal Balance due and payable on the Maturity Date) is not paid by Borrower on the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or (ii) the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) If at any time Lender receives, from Borrower or otherwise, any amount applicable to the Debt which is less than all amounts due and payable at such time, then Lender may apply that payment to amounts then due and payable in any manner and in any order determined by Lender (unless otherwise required by Applicable Law), in Lender's sole but reasonable discretion (provided, however, if an Event of Default occurs or is continuing, then such determination shall be made in Lender's sole and absolute discretion). Neither Lender's acceptance of an amount that is less than all amounts then due and payable, nor Lender's application of such payment in the manner authorized, will constitute or be deemed to constitute either a waiver of the unpaid amounts or an accord and satisfaction. Notwithstanding the application of any such amount to the Debt, Borrower's obligations under this Agreement, the Note and all other Loan Documents will remain unchanged.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.05** **Prepayments**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Voluntary Prepayments</u>. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part prior to the Maturity Date. On the Payment Date occurring in August, 2025 (the "**<u>Permitted Prepayment Date</u>**") or on any Business Day thereafter, Borrower may, at its option and upon ten (10) Business Days' prior written notice to Lender, prepay the Loan in whole, but not in part, provided that such prepayment is accompanied by (i) (1) if such prepayment occurs on any day during the calendar month on or prior to the eleventh (11th) day of such calendar month, all interest which would have accrued on the amount of the Loan through and including the last day of the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs, or (2) if such prepayment occurs on any day during a calendar month on or after the twelfth (12th) day of such calendar month through and including the last day of such calendar month, all interest which would have accrued on the amount of the Loan through and including the last day of the Interest Period related to the Payment Date next occurring following the date of such prepayment, unless such interest is paid to Lender as part of the Yield Maintenance Premium (if any), (ii) all other sums due and payable under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all of Lender's costs and expenses incurred thereby in connection with such prepayment), (iii) the Yield Maintenance Premium (if any) applicable to such payment and (iv) a voluntary prepayment in full of the Mezzanine Loan pursuant to Section 2.05(a) of the Mezzanine Loan Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Yield Maintenance Premium are earned as of the Closing Date, and immediately due and payable in connection with the repayment in full of the Debt and/or in the event the Debt is accelerated after the occurrence of an Event of Default. For the sake of clarity, Lender shall not be required to accept any repayment in full of the Loan without a simultaneous repayment in full of the Mezzanine Loan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Mandatory Prepayments</u>. On each date on which Borrower actually receives any Net Proceeds, if and to the extent Lender is not obligated to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for the Restoration of the Property, Borrower shall prepay the Outstanding Principal Balance together with all interest which would have accrued on the amount of the Loan through and including the last day of the Interest Period related to the Payment Date next occurring following the date of such prepayment (or, if such prepayment occurs on a Payment Date, through and including the last day of the Interest Period related to such Payment Date) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds. Provided that on the date of the related Casualty or Condemnation no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Yield Maintenance Premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this clause (b).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) If, following an Event of Default, Borrower tenders payment of all or any part of the Debt, or if all or any portion of the Debt is recovered by Lender after such Event of Default, Borrower shall pay, in addition to the Debt, (i) (A) with respect to any prepayment made or due prior to the Permitted Prepayment Date (it being agreed that such tender or recovery shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower in violation of the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section 2.05(a) above), an amount equal to the greater of (1) two percent (2%) of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan to be prepaid or satisfied or (2) the Yield Maintenance Premium or (B) with respect to any prepayment made or due on or after the Permitted Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium, and (ii) all interest which would have accrued on the amount of the Loan through and including the last day of the Interest Period related to the Payment Date next occurring following the date of such prepayment (or, if such prepayment occurs on a Payment Date, through and including the last day of the Interest Period related to such Payment Date).

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Upon payment in full of the Debt in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lender shall execute and deliver to Borrower, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrower, such documents as may be necessary to release the lien of the Security Instrument in form and content reasonably acceptable to Lender. In addition, if permitted by Applicable Law, including, without limitation, Section 275 of the Real Property Law of the State of New York, Borrower may, upon prior written notice, request, that, upon the indefeasible repayment in full of the Debt, Lender prepare and deliver, at the sole cost and expense of Borrower (including, without limitation, payment of Lender's reasonable legal fees and expenses and then customary administrative fee in connection therewith), to the person or entity making such payment (but not to Borrower or a nominee of Borrower), an assignment in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, without recourse, representation or warranty, of Lender's right, title and interest in the Note and the Security Instrument.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, in no event shall Borrower permit Mezzanine Borrower or any other Person to repay (which shall be deemed to include any prepayment in connection with any acceleration of the Mezzanine Loan and any acquisition of the Mezzanine Loan by any Affiliate of Mezzanine Borrower or Guarantor) the Mezzanine Loan, in whole or in part, unless the Debt is contemporaneously repaid in full in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement. Borrower's failure to comply with the foregoing shall, at Lender's option, constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.06** **Usury Savings**. This Agreement and the Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.07** **Breakage Indemnity.** Borrower shall indemnify Lender against any Losses which Lender may actually sustain or incur in liquidating or redeploying deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain the Loan or any part thereof as a consequence of (i) any payment or prepayment of the Loan or any portion thereof made on a date other than a Payment Date and (ii) any failure to pay the Debt or any part thereof or interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at the date thereof or otherwise, and whether by acceleration or otherwise). Lender shall deliver to Borrower a statement for any such sums which it or any Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.07, which statement shall be binding and conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower's obligations under this Section 2.07 are in addition to Borrower's obligations to pay any Yield Maintenance Premium applicable to a payment or prepayment of the Outstanding Principal Balance.

**ARTICLE 3 <u>EXCULPATION</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.02** **Loss Carveouts.** Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.01 to the contrary, Borrower shall be personally liable to Lender for the Losses Lender incurs arising out of or in connection with the following:

**ARTICLE 4 <u>RESERVES</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.01** **Tax Reserve Account.** Borrower shall (i) on the Closing Date, deposit with Lender the applicable amount shown on Lender's settlement statement (if any), and (ii) on each Payment Date, deposit with Lender the amount that Lender estimates will be necessary in order to accumulate (calculated together with the initial deposit made on the Closing Date, any Unabated Tax Reserve Additional Advance made in accordance with Section 2.03(d) of the Mezzanine Loan Agreement and projected monthly deposits thereafter) sufficient funds to pay, at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, all Taxes due within the ensuing twelve (12) months. Such amounts, together with any Unabated Tax Reserve Additional Advances made by Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(d) of the Mezzanine Loan Agreement, will be held in a deposit account established by Lender (the "  **<u>Tax Reserve Account</u>** "). For the avoidance of doubt, Lender shall not take into account the 421-a Tax Benefits when estimating Taxes until such time as the applicable benefits are in place at the Property as evidenced on the tax bills received by Lender. Following Lender's receipt of the tax bills evidencing that the Property is benefiting from the 421-a Tax Benefits, Lender shall rebalance the funds in the Tax Reserve Account to take into account such 421-a Tax Benefits and pay to Borrower (or, during the continuation of a Trigger Event, to the Cash Management Account) any funds in the Tax Reserve Account that Lender calculates in its reasonable discretion to be in excess of the amounts required to be deposited in the Tax Reserve Account. Provided no Event of Default shall then exist, Lender will apply the funds in the Tax Reserve Account to payments of the Taxes for which such funds have been reserved. In making any such payment, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office without inquiry into the accuracy thereof. If Lender so elects at any time, Borrower shall provide, at Borrower's expense, a tax service contract for the term of the Loan issued by a tax reporting agency acceptable to Lender. If Lender does not so elect, Borrower shall reimburse Lender for the cost of making annual tax searches throughout the term of the Loan. Additionally, if at any time Lender determines that the funds available in the Tax Reserve Account will not be sufficient to pay for all applicable Taxes by the date(s) required therefor, then Borrower shall deposit the shortfall amount determined by Lender into the Tax Reserve Account within ten (10) days of written notice from Lender (each such deposit required pursuant to this sentence, a "  **<u>Tax Reserve Account Replenishment Deposit</u>** "), which amounts will be held in the Tax Reserve Account and applied in accordance with this Section 4.01.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.02** **Insurance Reserve Account**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Borrower shall (i) on the Closing Date, deposit with Lender the applicable amount shown on Lender's settlement statement (if any), and (ii) on each Payment Date, deposit with Lender the amount that Lender estimates will be necessary in order to accumulate (together with the initial deposit made on the Closing Date and projected monthly deposits thereafter) sufficient funds to pay, at least thirty (30) days prior to its expiration, all Insurance Premiums due within the ensuing twelve (12) months (the "**<u>Monthly Insurance Deposit</u>**"). Such amounts will be held in a deposit account established by Lender (the "**<u>Insurance Reserve Account</u>**"). Provided no Event of Default shall then exist, Lender will apply the funds in the Insurance Reserve Account to payments of Insurance Premiums for Policies. In making any such payment, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from an insurer or agent without inquiry into the accuracy thereof.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to make the Monthly Insurance Deposit as set forth above, provided that (w) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (x) the Policies maintained by Borrower covering the Property are part of a blanket or umbrella policy approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof, including, without limitation, approval of the schedule of locations and values, (y) Borrower provides Lender evidence of renewal of such Policies pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof, and (z) Borrower provides Lender paid receipts for the payment of the Insurance Premiums by no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies. Borrower shall immediately commence making all Monthly Insurance Deposits, as required pursuant to this Section 4.02, within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice from Lender of Borrower's failure to comply with items (w), (x), (y) or (z) above, which such notice shall instruct Borrower to immediately commence making all Monthly Insurance Deposits.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.03** **Capital Expenditures Reserve Account.** Borrower shall, on each Payment Date, deposit with Lender an amount equal to $5,000.00. Such amounts will be held in a deposit account established by Lender (the "  **<u>Capital Expenditure Reserve Account</u>** "). Amounts so deposited with Lender shall be disbursed as provided in Section 4.05 below only for the payment of Approved Capital Expenditures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.04** **Intentionally Omitted**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.05** **Disbursements from the Reserve Item Accounts**. Lender shall disburse funds from the Capital Expenditure Reserve Account and/or the Future TI/LC Reserve Account for the payment of costs and expenses incurred in connection with an applicable Reserve Item, but not more frequently than once in any thirty (30) day period, upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions: (a) Borrower shall submit a written request for payment to Lender (together with evidence required by Lender to evidence satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 4.05) at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made and specifies the Reserve Item for which such payment is requested; (b) on the date such request is received by Lender and on the date such payment is to be made, no Event of Default exists; (c) Lender shall have received (i) prior to the first request for a disbursement from a Reserve Account (and prior to any subsequent request for a disbursement where the authorized representative of Borrower has changed), a certificate of authority, signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower, indicating the representative of Borrower that is authorized to make such request, and (ii) for each request for disbursement from a Reserve Account, a Disbursement Certificate with all blanks completed and applicable attachments included; (d) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender copies of all applicable Leases, commission/fee agreements, bills, invoices, receipts and other documentation required by Lender with respect to the Reserve Item for which the disbursement is sought; (e) with respect to Approved Leasing Expenditures, Lender shall have approved the proposed Lease to which the requested disbursement relates (including any applicable commission/fee agreements); and (f) if requested by Lender, Borrower shall furnish Lender with a title search indicating that the Property is free from all liens, claims and other encumbrances not previously approved by Lender. Lender shall not be required to make disbursements from the Reserve Accounts (other than the Tax Reserve Account or the Insurance Reserve Account, which shall not be so limited) unless such requested disbursement is in an amount greater than the Minimum Disbursement Amount. No funds shall be disbursed from a Reserve Account for the payment of a Reserve Item for which funds have been reserved in a different Reserve Account (or for a Reserve Item for which no funds have been reserved). Any amount remaining in a Reserve Account after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.06** **Accounts Generally**. If at any time Lender determines that the funds available in any Reserve Account will not be sufficient to pay for the cost or expense for which such funds have been required to be deposited with Lender hereunder by the date required therefor, or if Lender reasonably determines (based on the then-current Approved Annual Budget or on review of a physical conditions report for the Property, among other sources) to reassess its estimate of the amount necessary to be reserved for any such costs or expenses, then, at Lender's option, Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender with respect to the applicable Reserve Account(s) by the amount that Lender so notifies Borrower is required and/or deposit the shortfall amount determined by Lender into the applicable Reserve Account(s) within ten (10) days of notice from Lender. The insufficiency of any balance in any Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligations under the Loan Documents. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Cash Management Account, the Restricted Account, and the Reserve Accounts shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender (which dominion and control may be exercised by Servicer), Lender and Servicer shall have the sole right to make withdrawals from such accounts (without limiting the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the Restricted Account Agreement), and all costs and expenses for establishing and maintaining such accounts shall be paid by Borrower. Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in each of the Reserve Accounts, and all sums now or hereafter deposited in the Reserve Accounts as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Accounts shall constitute additional security for the Debt. The provisions of this Section 4.06 are intended to give Lender and/or Servicer "control" of the Reserve Accounts within the meaning of the UCC. Lender may replace such accounts or establish new accounts from time to time in its sole discretion, and Borrower hereby agrees that it shall take all action necessary to facilitate the transfer of the respective obligations, duties and rights of any applicable bank to the successor thereof selected by Lender in its sole discretion. Lender or Servicer will direct the bank where Reserve Accounts are established from time to time to hold all funds in an interest bearing Eligible Account at a money market rate customarily offered by such bank (provided, however, that in no event shall Lender (or any Servicer) be required to select any particular interest-bearing account or an account or investment that yields the highest rate of interest or other earnings, and interest paid or payable with respect to any such account may not be based on the highest rate of interest payable by such bank on deposits and shall not be calculated based on any particular external interest rate or interest rate index, nor shall any such interest reflect the interest rate utilized by Lender or such bank or institution to calculate interest payable on deposits held with respect to any particular loan or borrower or class of loans or borrowers, and Lender shall have no liability with respect to the amount of interest paid and/or loss of principal). Any interest or other earnings which may accrue on the amounts held in Reserve Accounts (other than the Tax Reserve Account and the Insurance Reserve Account, which earnings shall be retained by Lender (or at Lender's election, its Servicer or any other designee of Lender)) shall be added to the applicable Reserve Account and be allocated and/or disbursed in accordance with the terms hereof applicable to such Reserve Account. Borrower shall be responsible for paying any and all taxes payable with respect to any such interest or other earnings on funds held in a Reserve Account. The funds in the Reserve Accounts shall not constitute trust funds and may be held in Lender's name and commingled with other monies held by Lender.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.07** **Radon Reserve Account**. Within five (5) Business Days of the occurrence of a Radon Reserve Deposit Event, Borrower shall deposit with Lender an amount equal to one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of radon mitigation costs as determined by an environmental professional engaged by, and reasonably acceptable to, Lender (such deposit, the "  **<u>Radon Reserve Deposit</u>** "). Such amounts will be held in a deposit account established by Lender (the "  **<u>Radon Reserve Account</u>** "). Provided that no Event of Default then exists, upon receipt of satisfactory evidence that the Radon Requirements Satisfaction Event has occurred, Lender shall disburse the funds in the Radon Reserve Account to Borrower (or, if a Trigger Event then exists, to the Cash Management Account).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.08** **Shortfall Reserve Account**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit with Lender an amount equal to $4,250,000.00 into a deposit account established by Lender (the "**<u>Shortfall Reserve Account</u>**"). In addition, Lender shall deposit any Shortfall Additional Advance made pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Mezzanine Loan Agreement into the Shortfall Reserve Account. Furthermore, in the event that (i) the balance of the Shortfall Reserve Account is ever drawn below $2,000,000.00 and (ii) at such time, Borrower does not qualify for the making of the Shortfall Additional Advance pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Mezzanine Loan Agreement (whether because Borrower has failed to satisfy the conditions precedent to the making of such Shortfall Additional Advance, because the Maximum Shortfall Additional Advance Amount has already been fully disbursed to Borrower, because the applicable Additional Advance End Date has occurred, or otherwise), Borrower shall, on or prior to the following Payment Date, deposit with Lender an amount sufficient to cause the balance of the Shortfall Reserve Account to be equal to $4,250,000.00 (each such deposit, a "**<u>Shortfall Reserve Account Replenishment Deposit</u>**"), which amounts will be held in the Shortfall Reserve Account.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Lender shall make disbursements from the Shortfall Reserve Account for the payment of (i) all or part of any Monthly Payment Amount and/or (ii) operating expenses for the Property, as applicable, in each case, if and only to the extent there is insufficient cash flow from the Property since the most recent Payment Date to make such Monthly Payment Amount and/or operating expenses for the Property, as applicable (provided that insufficiency of funds in the Shortfall Reserve Account available for disbursement shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to make any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document) upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions: (i) Borrower shall submit a request for payment to Lender at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made, which request shall include a calculation of all cash flow (including, without limitation, any payments received from the Interest Rate Cap Agreement) and operating expenses for the Property for the prior 12-month period ending with the previous full calendar month, and detailing the cash flow shortfall that occurred since the most recent Payment Date; (ii) on the date such request is received by Lender and on the date such payment is to be made, no Event of Default shall exist; and (iii) with respect to any requested disbursement in respect of operating expenses for the Property, such disbursement shall be used solely for the payment of items set forth in the Approved Annual Budget for the applicable calendar month (or as otherwise approved by Lender in writing). Lender shall not be required to make disbursements from the Shortfall Reserve Account more frequently than once each calendar month nor in an amount less than the Minimum Disbursement Amount.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.08, upon the occurrence of the Shortfall Reserve Account Release Date, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall, upon Borrower's written request, disburse all amounts in the Shortfall Reserve Account to Borrower (or, during the continuation of a Trigger Event, to the Cash Management Account) and this Section 4.08 shall become null and void and shall be of no further force and effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.09**  **<u>Future TI/LC Reserve Account</u>** . Borrower shall, on the Future TI/LC Reserve Account Initial Deposit Date and on each Payment Date thereafter, deposit with Lender an amount equal to $1,675.00. Such amounts will be held in a deposit account established by Lender (the "  **<u>Future TI/LC Reserve Account</u>** "). In addition, Lender shall deposit the TI/LC Final Advance, if any, pursuant to Section 2.03(e) of the Mezzanine Loan Agreement into the Future TI/LC Reserve Account. Amounts so deposited with Lender (such amounts, the "  **<u>Future TI/LC Reserve Funds</u>**") shall be disbursed as provided in Section 4.05 above for the payment of Approved Leasing Expenditures. Notwithstanding anything in Section 4.05 or this Section 4.09 to the contrary, no Future TI/LC Reserve Funds shall be disbursed to pay for Approved Leasing Expenditures other than Approved Leasing Expenditures for a Future Vacant Commercial Unit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.10** **Project Expenditure Reserve Account**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit with Lender an amount equal to $1,550,000.00 in a deposit account established by Lender (the "**<u>Project Expenditure Reserve Account</u>**"). In addition, at any time Lender shall have determined that a Balancing Event exists, Borrower shall deposit the amount necessary to cause such Balancing Event to no longer exist into the Project Expenditure Reserve Account within ten (10) days after Lender's written demand therefor (a "**<u>Balancing Event Payment</u>**").

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) So long as no Event of Default then exists, following Completion of the Project, Lender shall disburse all funds from the Project Expenditure Reserve Account to Borrower upon satisfaction by Borrower of all of the following conditions (as determined by Lender): (i) Borrower shall submit a written request for payment to Lender (together with evidence reasonably required by Lender to evidence satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 4.10) at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made; (ii) on the date such request is received by Lender and on the date such payment is to be made, no Default or Event of Default exists; (iii) no Casualty or Condemnation shall have occurred (unless Lender is obligated pursuant to Section 9.04 hereof to disburse Net Proceeds for Restoration or a Restoration has occurred with respect to such Casualty or Condemnation); (iv) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender, prior to the request for such disbursement from the Project Expenditure Reserve Account, a certificate of authority, signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower, indicating the representative of Borrower that is authorized to make such request, unless such a certificate has already been received by Lender; (v) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender an Officer's Certificate with respect to such disbursement (A) stating that all work with respect to the Project has been completed in good and workmanlike manner in accordance with all Applicable Laws and the Project Budget (and if requested by Lender, Lender (or Lender's construction consultant) shall have completed a satisfactory inspection of the Property at Borrower's expense in order to verify such completion), (B) including copies of all bills, invoices, receipts and other documentation requested by Lender in connection with the Project, (C) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the Project, (D) certifying that each such Person has been paid in full in respect of such work and (E) accompanied by unconditional lien waivers from each such Person; (vi) Borrower shall have obtained a continuation of title endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy (and if such endorsement is not available, such other evidence as may be required by Lender, including an updated title report) showing title to the Property to be vested in Borrower, with no subordinate items and with no exceptions to title of the Property other than Permitted Encumbrances (with affirmative insurance that no Taxes are delinquent, no mechanic's or supplier's liens have attached (or if inchoate mechanic's or supplier's liens have, that they are subordinate to the lien of the Security Instrument)); (vii) Borrower shall have paid to Lender a draw fee of $750 and reimbursed all of Lender's outstanding costs, fees and expenses relating to such disbursement; (viii) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender such documentation reasonably required in order for NV5 / dba GRS Group to prepare its final close out report with respect to Completion of the Project; and (ix) Borrower shall have satisfied the TCO Condition.

In all instances in this Article 4 where any excess Reserve Funds are to be disbursed to Borrower, such Reserve Funds shall instead be, and Borrower hereby directs the same to be, disbursed to Mezzanine Lender, as a distribution permitted in accordance with Applicable Laws, if Lender has received notice that a Mezzanine Loan Event of Default then exists.

**ARTICLE 5 <u>REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.01** **Borrower Representations.** Borrower hereby makes the representations and warranties contained in Schedule 2 to Lender as of the date of this Agreement.

Borrower shall furnish to Lender the reports described on <u>Schedule 5</u> attached hereto not later than the applicable date set forth for such required report. Lender may require that Borrower's books and records be audited, at Borrower's expense, by an independent certified public accountant selected by Lender in order to produce or audit any statements, schedules, and reports of Borrower required by this Section 6.09 if (i) Borrower fails to provide in a timely manner the statements, schedules, and reports required by this Section 6.09 and, thereafter, Borrower fails to provide such statements, schedules, and reports within thirty (30) days after written notice by Lender to Borrower of such default in performance, (ii) the statements, schedules, and reports submitted to Lender pursuant to this Section 6.09 are not full, complete, and accurate in all material respects as determined by Lender and, thereafter, Borrower fails to provide such statements, schedules, and reports within thirty (30) days after written notice by Lender to Borrower of such default in performance, or (iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Borrower agrees that Lender may disclose all documents, materials, and information regarding the Property, Borrower, Guarantor, their constituent direct and indirect owners, and/or the Loan that is now or hereafter becomes in Lender's possession and/or is or may be provided to Lender pursuant to this Section 6.09 and/or pursuant to Article 11 hereof to any applicable parties requesting such information in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction.

All proposed Leases which do not satisfy the foregoing requirements (i) through (v) (inclusive) shall be subject to the prior written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). At Lender's request, Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender copies of all Leases then in effect at the Property, which have not been previously delivered to Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Borrower (i) shall observe and perform all the obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases; (ii) shall surrender possession of the Property, including all Leases and all Security Deposits and prepaid Rents, immediately upon appointment of a receiver or Lender's entry upon and taking of possession and control of the Property, as applicable, (iii) shall not collect any of the Rents more than one (1) month in advance (except Security Deposits shall not be deemed Rents collected in advance); and (iv) shall not execute any other assignment of the lessor's interest in any of the Leases or the Rents.

If Borrower shall default under the Management Agreement (beyond any applicable notice and cure period thereunder), then, 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 cure any such 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 Manager shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice sent to Borrower of default under the Management Agreement, 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. Borrower shall not, and shall not permit the Manager to, sub-contract any material aspect of its management responsibilities under the Management Agreement to a third-party without the prior written consent of Lender. Borrower shall, from time to time, request from the Manager such certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance by Borrower with the terms of the Management Agreement as may be reasonably requested by Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Without limitation of the foregoing, Borrower, upon the written request of Lender, shall terminate the Management Agreement and replace Manager, without penalty or fee, if at any time during the Loan: (i) Manager shall become insolvent or a debtor in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, (ii) there is a change in Control of Manager, (iii) there exists an Event of Default, or (iv) there exists an event of default by Manager under the Management Agreement which remains uncured after any applicable cure period.

All of the work performed to Complete the Project shall be performed pursuant to contracts with contractors that are licensed and insured.

If any Long Term Radon Test results (or Follow Up Short Term Radon Test results if Borrower elects to forego the Long Term Radon Tests) indicate an exceedance of the Action Level, Borrower shall provide notice and copies of all such Long Term Radon Test results (or Follow Up Short Term Tests results, as applicable) within five (5) days of Borrower's receipt of such results. Within forty-five (45) days of the commencement of operation of the mitigation system, radon testing shall be conducted to ensure that there is no longer any exceedance of the Action Level. The work required by this covenant shall not be considered complete until post mitigation sampling indicates that all mitigation systems are properly functioning, that there are no longer exceedances of the Action Level and that all applicable requirements of law have been satisfied, as determined by Lender and its consultants (the "  **<u>Radon Requirements Satisfaction Event</u>** "). All testing and remediation required pursuant to this Section 6.36 shall be completed at Borrower's sole cost and expense.

Furthermore, so long as no Event of Default then exists, Lender shall disburse to Borrower any funds held by Lender in the Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account on the next Payment Date following termination of all Trigger Events.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.04** **Other Matters.** Borrower shall not enter into any type of lockbox agreement or similar cash management arrangement that has not been approved by Lender in writing, and no direct or indirect owner of Borrower shall enter into any type of lockbox agreement or similar cash management arrangement with respect to Rents or other income from the Property that has not been approved by Lender in writing. No distributions or dividends of any nature with respect to Rents or other income from the Property shall be made to any Person having a direct ownership interest in Borrower if a Trigger Event has occurred and is continuing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.05** **Account Name and Characteristics**.

The Cash Management Account shall be maintained as an Eligible Account.

Upon Lender's request from time to time, Borrower shall provide a written statement to Lender itemizing any amounts deposited in the Restricted Account by Borrower or Manager for the period covered by Lender's request and such supporting documentation as Lender may reasonably require. Lender shall have the right to control the disposition of funds in the Cash Management Account, subject to the terms of this Agreement, without the further consent of Borrower or Manager or any other Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.06** **Deficiencies**. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Borrower acknowledges that Borrower is responsible for monitoring the sufficiency of funds deposited in the Cash Management Account and that Borrower is liable for any deficiency in available funds, irrespective of whether Borrower has received any account statement, notice or demand from Lender. If on any Payment Date, the amount of the Available Funds is insufficient to make all of the disbursements described in subsections 8.03(a) through (f), inclusive, Borrower shall deposit into the Cash Management Account on or prior to such Payment Date, without the need for any notice or demand from Lender, the amount of such deficiency in immediately available funds.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.07** **Funds in Accounts as Security for the Loan**. As security for full payment of the Loan and timely performance of Borrower's obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby pledges, transfers and assigns to Lender, and grants to Lender a continuing security interest in and to the Cash Management Account and all profits and proceeds thereof and all amounts deposited therein at any time and from time to time, which security interest is prior to all other liens. Borrower agrees to execute, acknowledge, deliver, file or do, at its sole cost and expense, all other acts, assignments, notices, agreements or other instruments as Lender may reasonably require in order to perfect the foregoing security interest, pledge and assignment or otherwise to fully effectuate the rights granted to Lender by this Section 8.07. Other than in connection with the Loan, Borrower has not sold or otherwise conveyed the Cash Management Account. The Cash Management Account constitutes a "deposit account" within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.08** **Default**. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the continuing exclusive control of, and right to withdraw and apply, the funds in the Restricted Account and the Cash Management Account to payment of any and all debts, liabilities and obligations of Borrower to Lender pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender's right to withdraw and apply funds in the Restricted Account and the Cash Management Account shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and at law or in equity as a result of Borrower's default. Lender's continuation of payments from the Restricted Account and the Cash Management Account when and as contemplated by this Agreement shall not be deemed Lender's waiver or a cure of any default by Borrower. Without in any way limiting any of Lender's other rights and remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Agreement and/or upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that Lender shall have the right, at its option, to deliver written notice to the Restricted Account Bank directing the Restricted Account Bank to disburse all available funds then and thereafter on deposit in the Restricted Account to an account designated by Lender (which account may, in Lender's sole discretion, be the Cash Management Account) in accordance with the terms of the Restricted Account Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.09** **Fees and Expenses**. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it solely shall be, and shall at all times remain, liable to Lender for all fees, charges, costs and expenses in connection with the Cash Management Account, this Agreement and the enforcement hereof, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel to Lender and Servicer as needed to enforce, protect or preserve the rights and remedies of Lender and/or Servicer under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.10** **Borrower Distributions; Acknowledgment** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Any transfer of Borrower's funds from the Restricted Account, the Cash Management Account or other sources to or for the benefit of the Mezzanine Lender or the Mezzanine Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, is intended by the parties to constitute, and shall constitute, a distribution from the Borrower to the Mezzanine Borrower and shall be treated as such on the books and records of each party. No provision of any Loan Document is intended to nor shall create a debtor-creditor relationship between Borrower and the Mezzanine Lender.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Borrower and Lender hereby agree and acknowledge that if (i) the Debt has been paid in full, (ii) there are funds remaining in the Reserve Accounts, the Restricted Account and/or the Cash Management Account, and (iii) the Mezzanine Loan (or any portion thereof) is outstanding, then Lender will not pay (or direct to be paid) any such remaining funds to Borrower, but rather shall deliver such funds (or direct the same to be delivered, as applicable) to Mezzanine Lender and Borrower hereby directs Lender to so deliver or cause to be delivered such funds, as a distribution permitted in accordance with applicable law, within ten (10) days after the Debt has been paid in full, to Mezzanine Lender to be held and/or applied in accordance with the terms of the Mezzanine Loan Documents.

**ARTICLE 9 <u>INSURANCE; CASUALTY; CONDEMNATION</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.01** **Insurance.** Borrower shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be obtained and maintained, insurance for Borrower and the Property satisfying the requirements set forth in Schedule 4 and shall otherwise comply with the terms and conditions set forth therein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.02** **Casualty.** If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a "  **<u>Casualty</u>** "), Borrower shall give prompt written notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration of the Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance with Section 9.04 hereof. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In the event of a Casualty where the loss and the applicable Net Proceeds are less than the Restoration Threshold, Borrower may settle and adjust such claim provided that (a) no Event of Default has occurred and remains outstanding and (b) such adjustment is carried out in a commercially reasonable and timely manner. In the event of a Casualty where the loss or the applicable Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold or if an Event of Default has occurred and remains outstanding, Borrower may settle and adjust such claim only with the prior consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Lender shall have the opportunity to participate, at Borrower's cost and expense, in any such adjustments. Notwithstanding any Casualty, Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.03** **Condemnation.** Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened (in writing) commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of all or any part of the Property and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise, Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 9.04 hereof. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.04** **Restoration.** The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the Property:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) If the Net Proceeds are less than the Restoration Threshold and the costs of completing the Restoration are less than the Restoration Threshold, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 9.04(c) are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold or the costs of completing the Restoration is equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.04. The term "**<u>Net Proceeds</u>**" shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Subsections (a)(i), (iv), (vi), (vii), (viii) and (ix) of Schedule 4 hereof as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same ("**<u>Insurance Proceeds</u>**"), or (ii) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same ("**<u>Condemnation Proceeds</u>**"), whichever the case may be.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration provided that each of the following conditions is met:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, has ended) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion in compliance with all Applicable Laws, including, without limitation, all applicable Environmental Laws;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(E) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note, which will be incurred as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Subsection (a)(iii) of Schedule 4 hereof, if applicable, or (3) other funds of Borrower;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(F) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, or (2) twelve (12) months after the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation, or (3) such time as may be required under Applicable Law, in order to repair and restore the Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation, (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Subsection (a)(iii) of Schedule 4 hereof or (5) the date required for such completion by the Restrictive Declaration and/or the Regulatory Agreement (to the extent a completion date is contemplated thereunder for the occurrence of a Casualty or Condemnation);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(G) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all Applicable Laws;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(H) Lender shall be satisfied that the Debt Yield after the completion of the Restoration shall be equal to or greater than seven percent (7.0%);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(I) Lender shall be satisfied that the Loan-To-Value Ratio after the completion of the Restoration shall be equal to or less than seventy percent (70.0%);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(J) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the total loss of access to the Property or the related Improvements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(K) Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower's architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be acceptable to Lender;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(L) the Net Proceeds together with any Cash or Cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender's discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(M) the Management Agreement in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, shall (1) remain in full force and effect during the Restoration and shall not otherwise terminate as a result of the Casualty or Condemnation or the Restoration or (2) if terminated, shall have been replaced with a Replacement Management Agreement with a Qualified Manager, prior to the opening or reopening of the Property or any portion thereof for business with the public; and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(N) the requirements of Section 9.04(k) hereof are satisfied.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender (if applicable) in an interest-bearing account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.04, shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic's or materialman's liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other Liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the "**<u>Casualty Consultant</u>**"). Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be provided to Lender and the Casualty Consultant. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant's fees, shall be paid by Borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term "**<u>Casualty Retainage</u>**" shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until such time as the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that Net Proceeds representing 50% of the required Restoration have been disbursed, and thereafter, shall mean an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 9.04, be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.04 and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor's, subcontractor's or materialman's contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy for the Property, and Lender receives an endorsement to such Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the Lien of the Security Instrument and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, if any, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the "**<u>Net Proceeds Deficiency</u>**") with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 9.04 shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.04, and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower (as applicable) as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 9.04(i) may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall approve, in its discretion. To the extent that Lender elects to apply Net Proceeds to the repayment of the Debt, a portion of such Net Proceeds (the "**Net Proceeds Distribution**") that results in a ratio of (i) the Net Proceeds Distribution to (ii) the balance of the Net Proceeds after deducting the Net Proceeds Distribution equal the ratio of the Outstanding Principal Balance prior to any such repayment to the "Outstanding Principal Balance" under the Mezzanine Loan, shall be deemed a distribution to the Mezzanine Borrower and shall be applied to the repayment of the Mezzanine Loan pursuant to Section 2.05(b) of the Mezzanine Loan Agreement. If Lender shall receive and retain Net Proceeds, the Lien of the Security Instrument shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received and retained by Lender and actually applied by Lender in reduction of the Debt.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.04 or anything herein to the contrary, this Section 9.04 is subject to the terms of Section 11.05 hereof to the extent applicable with respect to any Casualty or Condemnation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that Borrower is entitled to a disbursement of Net Proceeds hereunder for any purpose other than Restoration, Borrower hereby authorizes and directs Lender to pay the same to Mezzanine Lender to the extent that Mezzanine Lender is entitled to the same under the terms and conditions of the Mezzanine Loan Documents. Borrower further (i) agrees that Lender shall be entitled to conclusively rely on Mezzanine Lender's assertion that it is entitled to such Net Proceeds and (ii) hereby releases Lender and indemnifies Lender against any Losses that may be incurred by Lender as a result of any Person claiming that Lender improperly remitted such Net Proceeds to Mezzanine Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(aa) if there shall occur an "Event of Default" under (and as defined in) the Mezzanine Loan Documents, or any other event or condition shall occur the effect of which is to accelerate or permit Mezzanine Lender to accelerate all or any portion of the Mezzanine Loan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(bb) if there shall occur an "Event of Default" specifically identified in other Sections of this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(cc) if Borrower shall continue to be in Default under any of the other terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, in either case not specified in subsections (a) to (bb) above, for ten (10) days after notice to Borrower 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; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that if such non-monetary Default is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period and provided further that Borrower shall have commenced to cure such Default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, such thirty (30) day period shall be extended for such time as is reasonably necessary for Borrower in the exercise of due diligence to cure such Default, such additional period not to exceed sixty (60) days.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (f) or (g) above) and at any time thereafter, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to all or any part of the Property; and upon any Event of Default described in clauses (f) or (g) above, the Debt and all other obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.02** **Remedies**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any part of the Property or any other Collateral. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by Applicable Law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any "one action" or "election of remedies" law or rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the other Collateral and the Security Instrument has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) With respect to Borrower and the Property, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to the Property or Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other Property or Collateral, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Property or any other Collateral or any part thereof, in its sole and absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Security Instrument in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Security Instrument then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable cure period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Security Instrument to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire Outstanding Principal Balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose the Security Instrument to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Security Instrument as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Security Instrument to secure payment of sums secured by the Security Instrument and not previously recovered.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, from time to time, to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the "**<u>Severed Loan Documents</u>**") in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after written notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender's intent to exercise its rights under such power. The Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.03** **Remedies Cumulative; Waivers**. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender's rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender's sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one or more Defaults or Events of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

**ARTICLE 11 <u>SECONDARY MARKET TRANSACTIONS; SERVICING</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.01** **Sale of Notes and Securitization**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Lender shall have the right, at any time, (i) to sell or otherwise transfer the Loan (or any portion thereof and/or interest therein) and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto, (ii) to grant participation interests in the Loan (or any portion thereof and/or interest therein) or (iii) to securitize the Loan (or any portion thereof and/or interest therein) in a single asset securitization or pooled asset securitization, and which may also include the issuance of collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations and collateralized mortgage obligations. Each of the transactions referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above shall each hereinafter be referred to as a "**<u>Secondary Market Transaction</u>**" and the transactions referred to in clause (iii) shall hereinafter be referred to as a "**<u>Securitization</u>**". Any certificates, notes or other securities issued in connection with a Securitization are hereinafter referred to as "**<u>Securities</u>**".

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If requested by Lender, Borrower, Guarantor and Sponsor shall assist Lender (with each of Borrower, Guarantor, Sponsor and Lender paying their own costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, including legal fees and expenses) in satisfying the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction, including, without limitation, to provide updated financial and other information as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies. All costs and expenses incurred by Borrower, Guarantor, Manager and their respective Affiliates in connection with this clause (b) shall be paid by Borrower; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, to the extent that the actual and reasonable costs and expenses to be paid by Borrower pursuant to this clause (b) exceed $5,000, then Lender shall reimburse Borrower for such actual and reasonable costs and expenses incurred pursuant to this clause (b) in excess of $5,000 (it being agreed that Borrower shall pay the first $5,000.00 of such costs and expenses and Lender shall reimburse Borrower for such costs and expenses in excess thereof).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Lender may disseminate to any purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant or investor in all or any portion of the Loan or any Securities (collectively, the "**<u>Investor</u>**") or any Rating Agency rating such participations and/or Securities and each prospective Investor, and any organization maintaining databases on the underwriting and performance of commercial mortgage loans, all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Debt and to Borrower, Guarantor, Sponsor and the Property, whether furnished by Borrower, Guarantor, Sponsor or otherwise, as Lender determines necessary or desirable.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Borrower covenants and agrees that after the Closing Date, (i) if applicable, Borrower shall supply to Lender such documentation, financial statements and reports in form and substance required for Lender to comply with Regulation AB of the federal securities law and (ii) Lender shall have the right to modify the provisions of this Agreement relating to the unavailability of Term SOFR and the conversion of the Loan to an alternative interest rate and/or replace such provisions to the extent Lender determines such modification or replacement is necessary or advisable in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction (including, without limitation any Securitization) with respect to the Loan. Borrower shall cooperate with Lender to implement any such modification or replacement of such provisions regarding the unavailability of Term SOFR and the conversion of the Loan to an alternative interest rate, and Borrower shall execute such amendment to this Agreement as Lender may determine is reasonably necessary in connection with the same.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.02** **Securitization Indemnification**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Borrower, Guarantor and Sponsor understand that certain of the Provided Information may be included in disclosure documents in connection with the Securitization, including, without limitation, a prospectus supplement, private placement memorandum, offering circular or other offering document (each a "**<u>Disclosure Document</u>**") and may also be included in filings (an "**<u>Exchange Act Filing</u>**") with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "**<u>Securities Act</u>**"), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "**<u>Exchange Act</u>**"), or provided or made available to Investors or prospective Investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and its officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and affiliates against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the "**<u>Liabilities</u>**") to which Lender and/or its officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and/or affiliates may become subject in connection with (i) any Disclosure Document and/or (ii) any information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan or in connection with the preparation of any Disclosure Document, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property (collectively, the "**<u>Provided Information</u>**"), which Provided Information was furnished to the Rating Agencies in connection with issuing, monitoring and/or maintaining the Securities ("**<u>Covered Rating Agency Information</u>**"), in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii), insofar as such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact in the Provided Information and/or arise out of or are based upon the omission to state a material fact in the Provided Information required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the applicable Disclosure Document and/or Covered Rating Agency Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The liabilities and obligations of Borrower, Guarantor, Sponsor and Lender under this Section 11.02 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.03** **Servicer**. At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/trustee (the "  **<u>Servicer</u>**") selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the "  **<u>Servicing Agreement</u>**") between Lender and Servicer. Upon the appointment of a Servicer, to the extent of the delegation to such Servicer, the term "Lender" shall be deemed to include the "Servicer". Borrower shall be responsible for any set-up fees, or any other initial costs relating to the appointment of any Servicer (not to exceed $750), <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that Borrower shall not be responsible for payment of the monthly servicing fee due to Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall pay (i) all consent, review and processing fees of Servicer and any related third party costs, (ii) any liquidation fees that may be due Servicer in connection with the exercise of any or all remedies permitted under the Loan Documents, (iii) any workout fees and special servicing fees that may be due to Servicer, which fees may be due on a periodic or continuing basis and (iv) the costs of all property inspections and/or appraisals of the Property (or any updates to any existing inspection or appraisal).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.04** **Severance of Loan; Senior Mezzanine Option**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) All costs and expenses incurred by Borrower, Guarantor, Manager and their respective Affiliates in connection with this Section 11.04 (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of the Rating Agencies) shall be paid by Borrower; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, to the extent that the actual and reasonable costs and expenses to be paid by Borrower pursuant to this clause (a) exceed $5,000, then Lender shall reimburse Borrower for such actual and reasonable costs and expenses incurred pursuant to this clause (a) in excess of $5,000 (it being agreed that Borrower shall pay the first $5,000.00 of such costs and expenses and Lender shall reimburse Borrower for such costs and expenses in excess thereof). It shall be an Event of Default if Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 11.04 after the expiration of ten (10) Business Days after notice thereof.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Lender, without in any way limiting Lender's other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right, at any time (whether prior to, in connection with, or after any Secondary Market Transaction), with respect to all or any portion of the Loan, to modify, split and/or sever all or any portion of the Loan as hereinafter provided. Without limiting the foregoing, Lender may (i) cause the Note and the Security Instrument to be split into a first and second mortgage loan, (ii) create one or more senior and subordinate notes (i.e., an A/B or A/B/C structure), (iii) create multiple components of the Note or Notes (and allocate or reallocate the principal balance of the Loan among such components), in each such case described in clauses (i) through (iii) above, in whatever proportion and whatever priority Lender determines, and (iv) modify the Loan Documents with respect to the newly created Notes or components of the Note or Notes such that the pricing and marketability of the Securities and the size of each class of Securities and the rating assigned to each such class by the Rating Agencies shall provide the most favorable rating levels and achieve the optimum rating levels for the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment described above shall (A) modify or amend any material economic term of the Loan, or (B) materially increase the obligations, or decrease the rights, of Borrower under the Loan Documents; provided, however, in each such instance the outstanding principal balance of all the Notes evidencing the Loan (or components of such Notes) immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to such modification and the weighted average of the interest rates for all such Notes (or components of such Notes) immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the interest rate of the original Note immediately prior to such modification. At Lender's election, each note comprising the Loan may be subject to one or more Securitizations. Lender shall have the right to modify the Note and/or Notes and any components in accordance with this Section 11.04 and, provided that such modification shall comply with the terms of this Section 11.04, it shall become immediately effective. Borrower shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in furtherance of this Section 11.04, including, without limitation, that Borrower (and Borrower's constituent members, if applicable, and Guarantor) shall execute within ten (10) days after such request, such documentation as Lender may reasonably request to evidence and/or effectuate any such modification or severance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Lender shall have the option (the "**<u>Mezzanine Option</u>**") at any time to divide the Loan into two parts, a mortgage loan and a mezzanine loan, provided, that (x) the total loan amounts for such mortgage loan and such mezzanine loan shall equal the then outstanding amount of the Loan immediately prior to Lender's exercise of the Mezzanine Option, and (y) the weighted average interest rate of such mortgage loan and mezzanine loan shall initially equal the Interest Rate. Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in Lender's exercise of the Mezzanine Option in good faith and in a timely manner, which such cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, (i) executing such amendments to the Loan Documents and Borrower's or any SPC Party's organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender or requested by the Rating Agencies, (ii) creating one or more single purpose entities (each, a "**<u>Senior Mezzanine Borrower</u>**"), which such Senior Mezzanine Borrower shall (A) own, directly or indirectly, 100% of the equity ownership interests in Borrower (the "**<u>Equity Collateral</u>**"), and (B) together with such constituent equity owners of such Senior Mezzanine Borrower as may be designated by Lender, execute such agreements, instruments and other documents as may be required by Lender in connection with the mezzanine loan (including, without limitation, a promissory note evidencing the mezzanine loan and a pledge and security agreement pledging the Equity Collateral to Lender as security for the mezzanine loan); and (iii) delivering such opinions, title endorsements, UCC title insurance policies and other materials as may be required by Lender or the Rating Agencies. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may apply payments made by Borrower among the mortgage loan and mezzanine loan in such order and proportion as Lender elects in its sole discretion.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.05** **REMIC Savings Clause**. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, with respect to a Casualty or a Condemnation or the release of any portion of the real property relating to the Property, for so long as the Loan or any portion thereof is included in a REMIC Trust, if the loan to value ratio (such value to be determined by the Lender in its sole discretion based on a commercially reasonable valuation method using only the portion of the Property which constitutes acceptable real estate collateral under the Code for a REMIC Trust) immediately after such Condemnation or Casualty, as the case may be, and prior to any Restoration (but taking into account any planned Restoration of the Property as if such planned Restoration were completed) or immediately following the release of any portion of the real property relating to the Property, is more than one hundred twenty-five percent (125%), the principal balance of the Loan must be paid down by Borrower by a "qualified amount" as that term is defined in the IRS Revenue Procedure 2010-30, as the same may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time (and, in connection with a Condemnation or Casualty, no Yield Maintenance Premium or any other prepayment premium or fee shall be due in connection therewith), in order to meet the foregoing loan to value ratio unless Borrower delivers to Lender an opinion of counsel, acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion, that if such amount is not paid, the applicable Securitization will not fail to meet applicable federal income tax qualification requirements or subject such Securitization to tax; provided, however, that if the immediately preceding provisions are no longer applicable under legal requirements relating to a REMIC Trust, Borrower shall comply with all Applicable Laws relating to a Casualty or Condemnation or the release of any portion of the real property relating to the Property then in effect.

**ARTICLE 12 <u>MISCELLANEOUS</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.01** **Survival**. This Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the making by Lender of the Loan and the execution and delivery to Lender of the Note, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as all or any of the Debt is outstanding and unpaid unless a longer period is expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the legal representatives, successors and assigns of such party. All covenants, promises and agreements in this Agreement, by or on behalf of Borrower, shall inure to the benefit of the legal representatives, successors and assigns of Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.02** **Lender** ' **s Discretion**. Whenever pursuant to this Agreement, Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole discretion of Lender and shall be final and conclusive. Whenever pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (a) the Rating Agencies are given any right to approve or disapprove, (b) the confirmation of the Rating Agencies as to no downgrade is required or (c) any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to the Rating Agencies, the prior written consent of Lender in its sole discretion shall be substituted therefor prior to a Securitization.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.03** **Governing Law**. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT ENTERED INTO PURSUANT TO THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED, CONSTRUED, APPLIED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS). WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OR ACTION ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE, OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, BORROWER (A) IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK, AND APPELLATE COURTS FROM ANY THEREOF, AND (B) IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE AT ANY TIME TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS WILL BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE LENDER FROM BRINGING AN ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT HERETO IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.04** **Modification, Waiver in Writing.** No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the Note, or of any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on Borrower, shall entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.05** **Delay Not a Waiver.** Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, or under the Note or under any other Loan Document, or any other instrument given as security therefor, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

BORROWER HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.

LENDER IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY BORROWER.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.08** **Headings**. The Article and/or Section headings and the **Table of Contents** in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.09** **Severability**. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under Applicable Law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.10** **Preferences**. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the obligations of Borrower hereunder. To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.11** **Waiver of Notice**. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which Applicable Law, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to Applicable Law, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which Applicable Law, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.12** **Remedies of Borrower**. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower's sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the "**<u>Additional Indemnified Liabilities</u>**"); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Additional Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under Applicable Law to the payment and satisfaction of all Additional Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless Lender and the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all losses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in the investigation, defense, and settlement of losses incurred in correcting any prohibited transaction or in the sale of a prohibited loan, and in obtaining any individual prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA, the Code, any state statute or other similar law that may be required, in Lender's sole discretion) that Lender may incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of a default under Sections 5.01-29 or 6.22 hereof.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, (i) any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any Rating Agency review of the Loan, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or (ii) any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.14** **Applicable Law**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) If any Regulatory Change or change in the interpretation or application of any requirement of law, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender, which is not otherwise included in the determination of Term SOFR hereunder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder;

then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which Lender deems to be material as reasonably determined by Lender, provided that, such demand by Lender shall apply to all loans similarly affected by such change. Payments pursuant to this Section 12.14 shall be made within ten (10) days after the date Lender makes written demand therefor. Borrower's obligations under this Section 12.14 shall survive the payment of the Debt.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Lender will within a reasonable period of time after the officer of Lender having primary responsibility for administering the Loan becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would entitle Lender to receive payments under Section 12.14(a), to avoid or reduce any increased or additional costs payable by Borrower under Section 12.14(a), to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to (i) make, issue, fund or maintain its portion of the Loan through another office of such Lender, or (ii) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 12.14(a) to be materially reduced and if, as determined by Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of its portion of the Loan through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect the interests of Lender; provided, such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other office pursuant to this Section 12.14(b) unless Borrower agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other office as described above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.15** **Taxes**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Any and all payments by Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on Lender's income, and franchise taxes imposed on Lender by the law or regulation of any Governmental Authority (all such non excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to in this Section 12.15 as "**<u>Applicable Taxes</u>**"). If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Applicable Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Lender, the following shall apply: (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 12.15), Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with Applicable Law. Payments pursuant to this Section 12.15 shall be made within ten (10) days after the date Lender makes written demand therefor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Prior to the date that any lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States of America becomes a party hereto, such lender shall deliver to Borrower such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto (including Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI and W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or appropriate successor forms), properly completed, currently effective and duly executed by such lender establishing that payments to it pursuant to the Loan Documents are (i) not subject to United States federal backup withholding tax and (ii) not subject to United States Federal withholding tax under the Code. Each such lender shall (x) deliver further copies of such forms or other appropriate certifications on or before the date that any such forms expire or become obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form delivered to Borrower and (y) obtain such extensions of the time for filing, and renew such forms and certifications thereof, as may be reasonably requested by Borrower. If a payment made to a lender under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA and such lender fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, such lender shall deliver (A) a certification signed by the chief financial officer, principal accounting officer, treasurer or controller, and (B) other documentation reasonably requested by Borrower sufficient for Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such lender has complied with such applicable reporting requirements. Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount pursuant to Section 12.15(a) above to any lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America if such lender fails to comply with the requirements of this Section 12.15(b). Borrower will not be required to pay any additional amounts in respect of United States federal income tax pursuant to Section 12.15(a) above to any lender if the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by lender to comply with its obligations under this Section 12.15(b).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.18** **No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries**. Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, disclosure required by any federal or state securities laws, rules or regulations, as determined by Borrower's counsel, shall not be subject to the prior written consent of Lender. Lender shall have the right to issue press releases, advertisements and other promotional materials describing the Loan, Lender's participation in the origination of the Loan or the Loan's inclusion in any Secondary Market Transaction. Promotional materials may include, without limitation, the amount and purpose of the Loan and photographs of the Property acquired from any source.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.20** **Waiver of Marshalling of Assets**. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower's partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, and agrees not to assert any right under laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.21** **Waiver of Counterclaim**. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.22** **Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance**. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender's exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.23** **Brokers and Financial Advisors**. Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than Landstone Capital Group ("  **<u>Broker</u>** "). Borrower shall be responsible for paying any fees or commissions payable to Broker pursuant to a separate written agreement between Borrower and Broker. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender's attorneys' fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person (including, without limitation, Broker) that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. Borrower acknowledges that Lender may separately pay fees to Broker for referring the Loan to Lender. In addition, Broker may act as a servicer for the Loan and may receive a per annum servicing fee in connection therewith. In addition to such servicing fees, Broker may be entitled to receive a termination fee from Lender in certain circumstances in connection with the termination of such servicing. Such fees (i) are in addition to any fees which may be paid by Borrower to Broker and (ii) create a potential conflict of interest for Broker in its relationship with Borrower. Borrower acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to speak with Broker regarding such fees and that Lender is available to discuss any questions Borrower may have regarding such fees. Borrower agrees that Lender is not responsible for any recommendations or advice given to Borrower by Broker, that Lender and Borrower are dealing at arms'-length with each other in a commercial lending transaction and that no fiduciary or other special relationship exists or shall exist between them. The provisions of this Section 12.23 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of the Debt.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.24** **Prior Agreements**. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, between Borrower and/or its Affiliates and Lender are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.25** **Uniform Commercial Code Security Agreement**. This Agreement is also a security agreement under the Uniform Commercial Code for any of the Property which, under Applicable Law, may be subjected to a security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code, for the purpose of securing Borrower's obligations under this Agreement and to further secure Borrower's obligations under the Note, Security Instrument and other Loan Documents, whether such Property is owned now or acquired in the future, and all products and cash and non-cash proceeds thereof (collectively, "  **<u>UCC Collateral</u>** "), and by this Agreement, Borrower grants to Lender a security interest in the UCC Collateral.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.26** **Certain Additional Rights of Lender (VCOC)**. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the right to routinely consult informally 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. Consultation meetings should occur on a regular basis (no less frequently than quarterly) with Lender having the right to call special meetings at any reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice.

The rights described above in this Section 12.26 may be exercised by any entity which owns and controls, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the interests in Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.27** **Joint and Several Liability**. If Borrower consists of more than one Person, the liabilities and obligations of each such Person hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be joint and several.

**ARTICLE 13 <u>MEZZANINE LOAN</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.01** **Mezzanine Loan Notice**. Promptly after receipt (but no more than ten (10) Business Days after receipt), Borrower will deliver (or cause Mezzanine Borrower to deliver) to Lender a true, correct and complete copy of all material written notices (including, without limitation, any notice of a Mezzanine Loan Event of Default or any other default under the Mezzanine Loan Documents) or material correspondence (including electronically transmitted items) received from (or on behalf of) Mezzanine Lender by Mezzanine Borrower or any guarantor under the Mezzanine Loan Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.02** **Mezzanine Loan Estoppels**. Within ten (10) Business Days after written request by Lender (not more frequently than annually, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), Borrower shall (or shall cause Mezzanine Borrower to) from time to time, request from Mezzanine Lender such estoppel certificates with respect to the status of the Mezzanine Loan and compliance by Mezzanine Borrower with the terms of the Mezzanine Loan Documents as may reasonably be requested by Lender. In the event or to the extent that Mezzanine Lender is not legally obligated to deliver such estoppel certificates and is unwilling to deliver the same, or is legally obligated to deliver such estoppel certificates but breaches such obligation, then Borrower shall not be in breach of this provision so long as such Borrower furnishes to Lender estoppels executed by Mezzanine Borrower, each expressly representing to Lender the information reasonably requested by Lender regarding the status of the Mezzanine Loan and the compliance by Mezzanine Borrower with the terms of the Mezzanine Loan Documents, to the extent Mezzanine Borrower has knowledge of such requested information. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender from and against all Losses which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender based in whole or in part upon any fact, event, condition, or circumstances relating to the Mezzanine Loan which was misrepresented in any material respect by Borrower in such estoppel executed by Mezzanine Borrower.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.03** **Mezzanine Intercreditor**.

Lender and Mezzanine Lender have no obligation to disclose to Borrower or Mezzanine Borrower the contents of such intercreditor agreement. Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents are and will be independent of any such intercreditor agreement and shall remain unmodified by the terms and provisions thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.04** **Direction of Mezzanine Borrower**. Borrower and Lender hereby acknowledge and agree that, as to any clauses or provisions contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents to the effect that (a) Borrower shall cause, direct, permit or allow Mezzanine Borrower to act or to refrain from acting in any manner or (b) Borrower shall cause to occur or not to occur, or otherwise be obligated in any manner with respect to, any matters pertaining to Mezzanine Borrower, or (c) other similar effect, such clause or provision, in each case, is intended to mean, and shall be construed as meaning, with respect to Borrower, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the power (whether direct or indirect) of Borrower to direct Mezzanine Borrower (through ownership of voting securities or partnership or limited liability company or other ownership interests), to bring about or effect a desired result. Lender hereby specifically acknowledges that Borrower does not, directly or indirectly, hold or own any voting securities or partnership or limited liability company or other ownership interest in Mezzanine Borrower, or have any other contractual relationship or agreement with Mezzanine Borrower, and therefore Borrower, cannot, through ownership of voting securities or partnership or limited liability company or other ownership interests, or other contract or agreement, direct Mezzanine Borrower to bring about or effect a desired result.

Prior to its admission to Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable) as Special Member, Special Member shall not be a member of Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable), but Special Member may serve as an Independent Director of Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable).

(d) The LLC Agreement shall further provide that, (i) upon the occurrence of any event that causes the Member to cease to be a member of Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal representative of Member shall, within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of Member in Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable) agree in writing (A) to continue Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable) and (B) to the admission of the personal representative or its nominee or designee, as the case may be, as a substitute member of Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable) effective as of the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of Member in Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable), (ii) any action initiated by or brought against Member or Special Member under any Creditors' Rights Laws shall not cause Member or Special Member to cease to be a member of Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable) and upon the occurrence of such an event, the business of Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable) shall continue without dissolution, and (iii) each of Member and Special Member waives any right it might have to agree in writing to dissolve Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable) upon the occurrence of any action initiated by or brought against Member or Special Member under any Creditors' Rights Laws, or the occurrence of an event that causes Member or Special Member to cease to be a member of Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate, and all expenses including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and until paid shall be secured by the Security Instrument and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) In the event of a foreclosure of the Security Instrument or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest exclusively in Lender or the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) As an alternative to the Policies required to be maintained pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Schedule 4, Borrower will not be in default under this Schedule 4 if Borrower maintains (or causes to be maintained) Policies which (i) have coverages, deductibles and/or other related provisions other than those specified above and/or (ii) are provided by insurance companies not meeting the credit ratings requirements set forth above (any such Policy, a "  **<u>Non-Conforming Policy</u>** "), provided, that, prior to obtaining such Non-Conforming Policies (or permitting such Non-Conforming Policies to be obtained), (1) Borrower shall have received Lender's prior written consent thereto and (2) if required by Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender written confirmation from the Rating Agencies that any such Non-Conforming Policy shall not result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the ratings then assigned to the Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) The property, insurance required under Subsection (a)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (ix) in this Schedule 4 shall not exclude Terrorism Coverage (defined below). Such Terrorism Coverage shall comply with each of the applicable requirements for Policies set forth above (including, without limitation, those relating to deductibles and carrier ratings). As used above, "  **<u>Terrorism Coverage</u>**" shall mean insurance for acts of terror or similar acts of sabotage; provided, that, for so long as the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as extended and modified by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Authorization Act of 2015 (as the same may be further modified, amended, or extended, "  **<u>TRIPRA</u>**") (i) remains in full force and effect and (ii) continues to cover both foreign and domestic acts of terror, the provisions of TRIPRA shall determine what is deemed to be included within this definition of "Terrorism Coverage."

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.03** **Loan Advances**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Borrower shall receive, on the date hereof, one borrowing hereunder with respect to the Note in the amount shown on Lender's settlement statement prepared in connection with the closing of the Loan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Upon the earlier to occur of (x) the date on which the balance of the Shortfall Reserve Account is drawn below $500,000.00 for the first (1<sup>st</sup>) time during the term of the Mortgage Loan and (y) the applicable Additional Advance End Date, provided that (A) no Default or Event of Default then exists, and (B) the Shortfall Reserve Account Release Date has not yet occurred, Lender shall fund one (1) additional advance of the Loan (which advance shall be treated as a contribution by Borrower to Mortgage Borrower and Borrower hereby directs Lender to deposit such advance into the Shortfall Reserve Account held by Mortgage Lender) in an amount equal to $4,250,000.00 (the "**<u>Shortfall Additional Advance</u>**"), subject to the satisfaction of the following terms and conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) no more than one (1) Shortfall Additional Advance shall be permitted hereunder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Borrower shall have obtained evidence as may be required by Lender, including an updated title report, showing title to the Property to be vested in Mortgage Borrower, with no subordinate items and with no exceptions to title of the Property other than Permitted Encumbrances (with affirmative insurance that no Taxes are delinquent, no mechanic's or supplier's liens have attached (or if inchoate mechanic's or supplier's liens have, that they are subordinate to the lien of the Security Instrument));

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) no Casualty or Condemnation shall have occurred;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Borrower shall have paid to Lender a draw fee of $750 and reimbursed all of Lender's outstanding fees and expenses relating to the Shortfall Additional Advance, the Loan and/or the Mortgage Loan; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) at least fifteen (15) Business Days (but not more than sixty (60) days) prior to the date on which Borrower requests that the Unabated Tax Earn-Out Additional Advance be made (which date on which the Unabated Tax Earn-Out Additional Advance is proposed to be made may only be the fifteenth (15<sup>th</sup>) day of a calendar month (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately succeeding Business Day)), Borrower shall have delivered to Lender a written request indicating the requested amount of the Unabated Tax Earn-Out Additional Advance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the requested disbursement date for the Unabated Tax Earn-Out Additional Advance shall be no later than the applicable Additional Advance End Date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) no more than one (1) Unabated Tax Earn-Out Additional Advance shall be permitted hereunder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Borrower shall have obtained evidence as may be required by Lender, including an updated title report, showing title to the Property to be vested in Mortgage Borrower, with no subordinate items and with no exceptions to title of the Property other than Permitted Encumbrances (with affirmative insurance that no Taxes are delinquent, no mechanic's or supplier's liens have attached (or if inchoate mechanic's or supplier's liens have, that they are subordinate to the lien of the Security Instrument));

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) no Casualty or Condemnation shall have occurred;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) Borrower shall have paid to Lender a draw fee of $750 and reimbursed all of Lender's outstanding fees and expenses relating to the Unabated Tax Earn-Out Additional Advance, the Loan and/or the Mortgage Loan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) Borrower shall have provided evidence reasonably satisfactory and acceptable to Lender that the Property is receiving 421-a Tax Benefits; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) in no event shall the amount of the Unabated Tax Earn-Out Additional Advance be for an amount more than the lesser of (1) the amount that, together with all previous Unabated Tax Additional Advances, equals the Maximum Unabated Tax Additional Advance Amount and (2) the amount that, together with all previous Additional Advances, equals the Maximum Additional Advance Amount.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) If the Unabated Tax Earn-Out Additional Advance has not been disbursed to Borrower in accordance with Section 2.03(c) above by June 1, 2025, then, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, on June 15, 2025 (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately succeeding Business Day), Lender shall fund one (1) additional advance of the Loan in an amount equal to $1,000,000.00 (the "**<u>First Unabated Tax Reserve Additional Advance</u>**") directly into the Tax Reserve Account (which advance shall be treated as a contribution by Borrower to Mortgage Borrower and Borrower hereby directs Lender to deposit such advance into the Tax Reserve Account), which funds shall be held and disbursed by Mortgage Lender subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. If the Unabated Tax Earn-Out Additional Advance has not been disbursed to Borrower in accordance with Section 2.03(c) above by December 1, 2025, then, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, on December 15, 2025 (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately succeeding Business Day), Lender shall fund one (1) additional advance of the Loan in an amount equal to $1,000,000.00 (the "**<u>Second Unabated Tax Reserve Additional Advance</u>**"; together with the First Unabated Tax Reserve Additional Advance, each an "**<u>Unabated Tax Reserve Additional Advance</u>**"; each Unabated Tax Reserve Additional Advance and any Unabated Tax Earn-Out Additional Advance being referred to herein as an "**<u>Unabated Tax Additional Advance</u>**") directly into the Tax Reserve Account (which advance shall be treated as a contribution by Borrower to Mortgage Borrower and Borrower hereby directs Lender to deposit such advance into the Tax Reserve Account), which funds shall be held and disbursed by Mortgage Lender subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, upon the making of the Second Unabated Tax Reserve Additional Advance in accordance with this Section 2.03(d), Lender shall thereafter have no further obligation to make any Unabated Tax Earn-Out Additional Advance under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Provided no Default or Event of Default then exists, Lender agrees to fund additional advances of the Loan requested by Borrower from time to time for the payment of the costs of Approved Leasing Expenditures (each, a "**<u>TI/LC Additional Advance</u>**"), subject to the satisfaction of the following terms and conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) at least fifteen (15) Business Days (but not more than sixty (60) days) prior to the date on which Borrower requests that the TI/LC Additional Advance be made (which date on which the TI/LC Additional Advance is proposed to be made may only be the fifteenth (15<sup>th</sup>) day of a calendar month (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately succeeding Business Day)), Borrower shall have delivered to Lender a written request indicating the requested amount of the TI/LC Additional Advance, and specifying the Approved Leasing Expenditure for which such TI/LC Additional Advance is sought (a "**<u>TI/LC Advance Request</u>**");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the requested disbursement date for such TI/LC Additional Advance shall be no later than the applicable Additional Advance End Date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) no more than one (1) TI/LC Additional Advance shall be permitted in a thirty (30) day period;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) no TI/LC Additional Advance shall be requested or advanced for an amount less than the Minimum Advance Amount (other than the last requested TI/LC Additional Advance, if less);

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) in connection with each $500,000.00 (in the aggregate) of TI/LC Additional Advances, if requested by Lender, Borrower shall have obtained evidence as may be reasonably required by Lender, including an updated title report, showing title to the Property to be vested in Mortgage Borrower, with no subordinate items and with no exceptions to title of the Property other than Permitted Encumbrances (with affirmative insurance that no Taxes are delinquent, no mechanic's or supplier's liens have attached (or if inchoate mechanic's or supplier's liens have, that they are subordinate to the lien of the Security Instrument));

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) no Casualty or Condemnation shall have occurred;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) Borrower shall have paid to Lender a draw fee of $750 and reimbursed all of Lender's outstanding fees and expenses relating to the TI/LC Additional Advance, the Loan and/or the Mortgage Loan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) if requested by Lender, Borrower shall have delivered to Lender evidence satisfactory to Lender showing payment of all bills and charges for which TI/LC Additional Advances have been previously made pursuant to this Agreement together with lien waivers with respect thereto;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ix) Lender shall have received an Officer's Certificate with respect to the applicable Approved Leasing Expenditure to be funded by such TI/LC Additional Advance (1) stating that the applicable work with respect to which the TI/LC Additional Advance has been requested has been completed in good and workmanlike manner in accordance with all Applicable Laws and the applicable Lease (and if requested by Lender, Lender (or Lender's construction consultant) shall have completed a satisfactory inspection of the Property at Borrower's expense in order to verify such completion), (2) including (in the first TI/LC Advance Request for any particular Approved Leasing Expenditure) a copy of any license, permit or other approval by any Governmental Authority required to commence the applicable Approved Leasing Expenditure, (3) including copies of all Leases, commission/fee agreements, bills, invoices, receipts and other documentation requested by Lender to be reimbursed or paid by the TI/LC Additional Advance, (4) to the extent not already provided, paid invoices or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all previous disbursements of TI/LC Additional Advances have been used to pay the costs for which the same were requested, (5) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the Approved Leasing Expenditure to be funded by the requested TI/LC Additional Advance, (6) certifying that each such Person has been paid in full or will be paid in full in respect of such work promptly after receipt of such TI/LC Additional Advance, and (7) if requested by Lender, accompanied by conditional lien waivers or other evidence of lien release upon payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(x) Lender shall have approved the proposed Lease to which the requested disbursement relates (including any applicable commission/fee agreements);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xi) in no event shall the amount of any TI/LC Additional Advance requested with respect to any Approved Leasing Expenditure be for an amount more than the lowest of (1) the actual cost incurred by Mortgage Borrower for such Approved Leasing Expenditure, (2) the amount that, together with all previous TI/LC Additional Advances, equals the Maximum TI/LC Additional Advance Amount and (3) the amount that, together with all previous Additional Advances, equals the Maximum Additional Advance Amount; and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xii) notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.03(e) to the contrary, (1) no TI/LC Additional Advance shall be made to pay for Approved Leasing Expenditures other than Approved Leasing Expenditures for a Closing Date Vacant Commercial Unit, and (2) in no event shall TI/LC Additional Advances be made for the payment of TIs and/or LCs with respect to any individual Commercial Unit in an amount that exceeds, in the aggregate, the Allocated TI Release Amount or Allocated LC Release Amount (respectively) with respect to such individual Commercial Unit.

In the event that Borrower satisfies the TI/LC Additional Advance Final Disbursement Conditions (and if, at such time, the Maximum TI/LC Additional Advance Amount has not been fully disbursed to Borrower in accordance with this Agreement), then so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, Lender shall, upon Borrower's written request therefor, make a TI/LC Additional Advance, (I) if the Shortfall Reserve Account Release Date has not yet occurred, into the Shortfall Reserve Account (which advance shall be treated as a contribution by Borrower to Mortgage Borrower and Borrower hereby directs Lender to deposit such advance into the Shortfall Reserve Account held by Mortgage Lender), which funds shall be held in such Shortfall Reserve Account and disbursed by Mortgage Lender subject to the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.08 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, or (II) if the Shortfall Reserve Account Release Date has occurred, to Borrower. The amount of such TI/LC Additional Advance pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be in an aggregate amount such that such TI/LC Additional Advance, together with all previous TI/LC Additional Advances, equals the Maximum TI/LC Additional Advance Amount.

Furthermore, if the Maximum TI/LC Additional Advance Amount has not been fully disbursed to Borrower in accordance with this Agreement by the applicable Additional Advance End Date, then so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, on the applicable Additional Advance End Date (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately succeeding Business Day), Lender shall make a TI/LC Additional Advance, into the Future TI/LC Reserve Account (which advance shall be treated as a contribution by Borrower to Mortgage Borrower and Borrower hereby directs Lender to deposit such advance into the Future TI/LC Reserve Account held by Mortgage Lender), in an amount such that such TI/LC Additional Advance, together with all previous TI/LC Additional Advances, equals the Maximum TI/LC Additional Advance Amount (the "**<u>TI/LC Final Advance</u>**"), which funds shall be held in the Future TI/LC Reserve Account and disbursed by Mortgage Lender subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.09 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement (assuming the Extension Conditions have been satisfied and the Maturity Date has been extended pursuant to the Loan Documents).

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Provided no Default or Event of Default then exists, Lender agrees to fund one (1) additional advance of the Loan in an amount up to the Maximum Initial Earn-Out Additional Advance Amount (the "**<u>Initial Earn-Out Additional Advance</u>**"), subject to the satisfaction of the following terms and conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the requested disbursement date for such Initial Earn-Out Additional Advance shall be no later than the applicable Additional Advance End Date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Borrower shall have paid to Lender a draw fee of $750 and reimbursed all of Lender's outstanding fees and expenses relating to the Initial Earn-Out Additional Advance, the Loan and/or the Mortgage Loan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Lender shall have determined that there are sufficient funds in the Shortfall Reserve Account to pay for all anticipated Debt Service (Combined) and operating expense shortfalls for the Property from the anticipated date that the Initial Earn-Out Additional Advance is to be made through the Scheduled Maturity Date; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) all of the Initial Earn-Out Additional Advance Conditions shall have been satisfied (as determined by Lender).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the requested disbursement date for such Second Earn-Out Additional Advance shall be no later than the applicable Additional Advance End Date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Borrower shall have paid to Lender a draw fee of $750 and reimbursed all of Lender's outstanding fees and expenses relating to the Second Earn-Out Additional Advance, the Loan and/or the Mortgage Loan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Lender shall have determined that there are sufficient funds in the Shortfall Reserve Account to pay for all anticipated Debt Service (Combined) and operating expense shortfalls for the Property from the anticipated date that the Second Earn-Out Additional Advance is to be made through the Scheduled Maturity Date; and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) all of the Second Earn-Out Additional Advance Conditions shall have been satisfied (as determined by Lender).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Provided no Default or Event of Default then exists, Lender agrees to fund one (1) additional advance of the Loan in an amount up to the Maximum Final Earn-Out Additional Advance Amount (the "**<u>Final Earn-Out Additional Advance</u>**"), subject to the satisfaction of the following terms and conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the requested disbursement date for such Final Earn-Out Additional Advance shall be no later than the applicable Additional Advance End Date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Borrower shall have paid to Lender a draw fee of $750 and reimbursed all of Lender's outstanding fees and expenses relating to the Final Earn-Out Additional Advance, the Loan and/or the Mortgage Loan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Lender shall have determined that there are sufficient funds in the Shortfall Reserve Account to pay for all anticipated Debt Service (Combined) and operating expense shortfalls for the Property from the anticipated date that the Final Earn-Out Additional Advance is to be made through the Scheduled Maturity Date; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) all of the Final Earn-Out Additional Advance Conditions shall have been satisfied (as determined by Lender).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Provided no Default or Event of Default then exists, Lender agrees to fund one (1) additional advance of the Loan in an amount up to the Maximum Performance Earn-Out Additional Advance Amount (the "**<u>Performance Earn-Out Additional Advance</u>**"; together with the Shortfall Additional Advance, any Unabated Tax Additional Advance, TI/LC Additional Advance, Initial Earn-Out Additional Advance, Second Earn-Out Additional Advance, and Final Earn-Out Additional Advance, each an "**<u>Additional Advance</u>**"), subject to the satisfaction of the following terms and conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) at least fifteen (15) Business Days (but not more than sixty (60) days) prior to the date on which Borrower requests that the Performance Earn-Out Additional Advance be made (which date may only be the fifteenth (15<sup>th</sup>) day of a calendar month (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately succeeding Business Day)), Borrower shall have delivered to Lender a written request for the Performance Earn-Out Additional Advance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the requested disbursement date for such Performance Earn-Out Additional Advance shall be no later than the applicable Additional Advance End Date;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Borrower shall have paid to Lender a draw fee of $750 and reimbursed all of Lender's outstanding fees and expenses relating to the Performance Earn-Out Additional Advance, the Loan and/or the Mortgage Loan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Lender shall have determined that there are sufficient funds in the Shortfall Reserve Account to pay for all anticipated Debt Service (Combined) and operating expense shortfalls for the Property from the anticipated date that the Performance Earn-Out Additional Advance is to be made through the next occurring applicable Maturity Date; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) all of the Performance Earn-Out Additional Advance Conditions shall have been satisfied (as determined by Lender).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, waive one or more conditions precedent to the making of an Additional Advance, but that no such waiver shall constitute a course of conduct or otherwise obligate Lender to grant such waiver or any other waiver in the future. The obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be reduced, discharged or released because or by reason of any existing or future offset, claim or defense of Borrower, or any other party, against Lender by reason of Lender's failure to make any Additional Advance. Borrower agrees that it shall not assert (and shall not have) any defense (including the assertion of any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense) to the payment of Debt owed to Lender in the event Lender breaches any obligation to make an Additional Advance that it is required to make hereunder. The making of any Additional Advance by Lender at the time when an Event of Default exists shall not be deemed a waiver or cure by Lender of that Event of Default, nor shall Lender's rights and remedies be prejudiced in any manner thereby. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender may engage a third-party consultant to assist in reviewing Borrower's compliance with any conditions necessary for the making of an Additional Advance and Borrower shall pay all of Lender's costs, fees and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees, costs of Appraisals, title insurance premiums, third-party consultant fees, recording costs and mortgage taxes (if any)), associated with any Additional Advance or any request therefor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.04** **Interest; Required Payments**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Interest</u>. From and after the date hereof, interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance shall accrue at the Interest Rate and be payable as hereinafter provided. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan, shall accrue at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein. Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the default until the actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then due). To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement. This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) On the date hereof, Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount equal to interest only on the Outstanding Principal Balance for the Interest Period in which the Closing Date occurs;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) On the Payment Date occurring in June, 2025 and on each Payment Date thereafter up to and including the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender the Monthly Payment Amount; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Borrower shall pay the entire outstanding Debt to Lender on the Maturity Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) So long as no Event of Default then exists, all payments made hereunder will be applied (i) first to amounts due and payable with respect to the Loan other than principal and interest (but including interest at the Default Rate), and then (ii) to accrued and unpaid interest at the Interest Rate, and then (iii) to the Outstanding Principal Balance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance shall be calculated by multiplying (i) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (ii) the Interest Rate divided by three hundred sixty (360) by (iii) the Outstanding Principal Balance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Payments will be paid by Borrower, without set-off or counterclaim, by wire transfer to Lender at Lender's office or such other location or account as Lender may specify to Borrower from time to time, in federal or other immediately available funds in lawful money of the United States of America, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on each Payment Date. For purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating Interest Periods, if the day on which such payment is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) If any principal, interest or any other sum due under the Loan Documents (other than the Outstanding Principal Balance due and payable on the Maturity Date) is not paid by Borrower on the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or (ii) the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) If at any time Lender receives, from Borrower or otherwise, any amount applicable to the Debt which is less than all amounts due and payable at such time, then Lender may apply that payment to amounts then due and payable in any manner and in any order determined by Lender (unless otherwise required by Applicable Law), in Lender's sole but reasonable discretion (provided, however, if an Event of Default occurs or is continuing, then such determination shall be made in Lender's sole and absolute discretion). Neither Lender's acceptance of an amount that is less than all amounts then due and payable, nor Lender's application of such payment in the manner authorized, will constitute or be deemed to constitute either a waiver of the unpaid amounts or an accord and satisfaction. Notwithstanding the application of any such amount to the Debt, Borrower's obligations under this Agreement, the Note and all other Loan Documents will remain unchanged.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.05** **Prepayments**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Voluntary Prepayments</u>. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part prior to the Maturity Date. On the Payment Date occurring in August, 2025 (the "**<u>Permitted Prepayment Date</u>**") or on any Business Day thereafter, Borrower may, at its option and upon ten (10) Business Days' prior written notice to Lender, prepay the Loan in whole, but not in part, provided that such prepayment is accompanied by (i) (1) if such prepayment occurs on any day during the calendar month on or prior to the eleventh (11th) day of such calendar month, all interest which would have accrued on the amount of the Loan through and including the last day of the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs, or (2) if such prepayment occurs on any day during a calendar month on or after the twelfth (12th) day of such calendar month through and including the last day of such calendar month, all interest which would have accrued on the amount of the Loan through and including the last day of the Interest Period related to the Payment Date next occurring following the date of such prepayment, unless such interest is paid to Lender as part of the Yield Maintenance Premium (if any), (ii) all other sums due and payable under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all of Lender's costs and expenses incurred thereby in connection with such prepayment), (iii) the Yield Maintenance Premium (if any) applicable to such payment and (iv) a voluntary prepayment in full of the Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.05(a) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Yield Maintenance Premium are earned as of the Closing Date, and immediately due and payable in connection with the repayment in full of the Debt and/or in the event the Debt is accelerated after the occurrence of an Event of Default. For the sake of clarity, Lender shall not be required to accept any repayment in full of the Loan without a simultaneous repayment in full of the Mortgage Loan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Mandatory Prepayments</u>. On each date on which Mortgage Borrower is entitled, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, to receive any Net Proceeds (i.e. such Net Proceeds are not required to be used for Restoration or to be applied to prepay the Mortgage Loan), Borrower shall prepay the Outstanding Principal Balance together with all interest which would have accrued on the amount of the Loan through and including the last day of the Interest Period related to the Payment Date next occurring following the date of such prepayment (or, if such prepayment occurs on a Payment Date, through and including the last day of the Interest Period related to such Payment Date) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds. Provided that on the date of the related Casualty or Condemnation no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Yield Maintenance Premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this clause (b).

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) If, following an Event of Default, Borrower tenders payment of all or any part of the Debt, or if all or any portion of the Debt is recovered by Lender after such Event of Default, Borrower shall pay, in addition to the Debt, (i) (A) with respect to any prepayment made or due prior to the Permitted Prepayment Date (it being agreed that such tender or recovery shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower in violation of the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section 2.05(a) above), an amount equal to the greater of (1) two percent (2%) of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan to be prepaid or satisfied or (2) the Yield Maintenance Premium or (B) with respect to any prepayment made or due on or after the Permitted Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium, and (ii) all interest which would have accrued on the amount of the Loan through and including the last day of the Interest Period related to the Payment Date next occurring following the date of such prepayment (or, if such prepayment occurs on a Payment Date, through and including the last day of the Interest Period related to such Payment Date).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Intentionally omitted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, in no event shall Borrower permit Mortgage Borrower or any other Person to repay (which shall be deemed to include any prepayment in connection with any acceleration of the Mortgage Loan and any acquisition of the Mortgage Loan by any Affiliate of Mortgage Borrower or Guarantor) the Mortgage Loan, in whole or in part, unless the Debt is contemporaneously repaid in full in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement. Borrower's failure to comply with the foregoing shall, at Lender's option, constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.06** **Usury Savings**. This Agreement and the Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.07** **Breakage Indemnity .** Borrower shall indemnify Lender against any Losses which Lender may actually sustain or incur in liquidating or redeploying deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain the Loan or any part thereof as a consequence of (i) any payment or prepayment of the Loan or any portion thereof made on a date other than a Payment Date and (ii) any failure to pay the Debt or any part thereof or interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at the date thereof or otherwise, and whether by acceleration or otherwise). Lender shall deliver to Borrower a statement for any such sums which it or any Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.07, which statement shall be binding and conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower's obligations under this Section 2.07 are in addition to Borrower's obligations to pay any Yield Maintenance Premium applicable to a payment or prepayment of the Outstanding Principal Balance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.02** **Loss Carveouts .** Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.01 to the contrary, Borrower shall be personally liable to Lender for the Losses Lender incurs arising out of or in connection with the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Mortgage Borrower's failure to maintain insurance as required under the Loan Documents (except to the extent that sums sufficient to pay such amounts have been deposited in escrow with Mortgage Lender pursuant to the terms of Section 4.02 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement) to the extent revenue from the Property is sufficient to pay such amounts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) the removal or disposal of any Personal Property from the Property by Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, SPC Party, Guarantor, Sponsor or any Borrower Party and not replaced with Personal Property of the same utility and of the same or greater value (unless such removed or disposed of Personal Property (i) is obsolete, worn out or damaged, (ii) is no longer required for use in connection with the operation, management, maintenance or business conducted at the Property and (iii) has a de minimis value);

**ARTICLE 4 <u>RESERVES</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.01** **Mortgage Loan Accounts .** Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to make the deposits of reserve funds that are required of Mortgage Borrower under the Mortgage Loan Agreement into applicable Accounts established therefor, as and when such deposits are required thereunder, which reserve funds shall be subject to the applicable terms and conditions of the Mortgage Loan Agreement (including definitions of terms) with respect to disbursements thereof and Borrower and Lender's respective rights thereto (in all instances as if the terms "Borrower" and "Lender" in the Mortgage Loan Agreement referred to Borrower and Lender, respectively); provided, however that notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall be relieved of its obligation to make any such deposits so long as Mortgage Borrower is required to, and actually does, make such deposits pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Agreement and Lender receives reasonably satisfactory evidence of the same and of Mortgage Borrower's payment and/or performance of the costs and obligations to which such funds are allocable pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.02** **Intentionally Omitted**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.03** **Intentionally Omitted .** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.04** **Intentionally Omitted**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.05** **Disbursements from the Reserve Item Accounts**. Lender shall not be required to make disbursements from the Reserve Accounts unless such requested disbursement is in an amount greater than the Minimum Disbursement Amount. No funds shall be disbursed from a Reserve Account for the payment of a Reserve Item for which funds have been reserved in a different Reserve Account (or for a Reserve Item for which no funds have been reserved). Any amount remaining in a Reserve Account after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.06** **Accounts Generally**. If at any time that Borrower is actually making deposits with Lender on account of reserve funds pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof (i.e. such funds are not being reserved by Mortgage Lender), Lender determines that the funds available in the accounts established under this Agreement will not be sufficient to pay for the cost or expense for which such funds have been required to be deposited with Lender hereunder by the date required therefor, or if Lender reasonably determines (based on the then-current Approved Annual Budget or on review of a physical conditions report for the Property, among other sources) to reassess its estimate of the amount necessary to be reserved for any such costs or expenses, then, at Lender's option, Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender with respect to the accounts established under this Agreement, as applicable, by the amount that Lender so notifies Borrower is required and/or deposit the shortfall amount determined by Lender into the applicable Reserve Account(s) within ten (10) days of notice from Lender. The insufficiency of any balance in any accounts established under this Agreement shall not relieve Borrower from its obligations under the Loan Documents. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement the accounts established under this Agreement shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender (which dominion and control may be exercised by Servicer), Lender and Servicer shall have the sole right to make withdrawals from such accounts (without limiting the terms and conditions of this Agreement), and all costs and expenses for establishing and maintaining such accounts shall be paid by Borrower. Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in each of the accounts established under this Agreement, and all sums now or hereafter deposited in the accounts established under this Agreement as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the accounts established under this Agreement shall constitute additional security for the Debt. The provisions of this Section 4.06 are intended to give Lender and/or Servicer "control" of the accounts established under this Agreement within the meaning of the UCC. Lender may replace such accounts or establish new accounts from time to time in its sole discretion, and Borrower hereby agrees that it shall take all action necessary to facilitate the transfer of the respective obligations, duties and rights of any applicable bank to the successor thereof selected by Lender in its sole discretion. Lender or Servicer will direct the bank where accounts established under this Agreement are established from time to time to hold all funds in an interest bearing Eligible Account at a money market rate customarily offered by such bank (provided, however, that in no event shall Lender (or any Servicer) be required to select any particular interest-bearing account or an account or investment that yields the highest rate of interest or other earnings, and interest paid or payable with respect to any such account may not be based on the highest rate of interest payable by such bank on deposits and shall not be calculated based on any particular external interest rate or interest rate index, nor shall any such interest reflect the interest rate utilized by Lender or such bank or institution to calculate interest payable on deposits held with respect to any particular loan or borrower or class of loans or borrowers, and Lender shall have no liability with respect to the amount of interest paid and/or loss of principal). Any interest or other earnings which may accrue on the amounts held in accounts established under this Agreement (other than on account of taxes and insurance premiums, which earnings shall be retained by Lender (or at Lender's election, its Servicer or any other designee of Lender)) shall be added to the applicable account established under this Agreement and be allocated and/or disbursed in accordance with the terms hereof applicable to such account established under this Agreement. Borrower shall be responsible for paying any and all taxes payable with respect to any such interest or other earnings on funds held in any accounts established under this Agreement. The funds in the accounts established under this Agreement shall not constitute trust funds and may be held in Lender's name and commingled with other monies held by Lender.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.07** **Transfer of Reserve Funds under the Mortgage Loan**. If Mortgage Lender waives any reserves or escrow accounts required in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, or if the Mortgage Loan is refinanced or repaid in full (and the Loan is not repaid in full simultaneously therewith in violation of this Agreement) and reserve funds that are required under the Mortgage Loan Agreement are not required under any such new mortgage loan, then Borrower shall cause any and all amounts that would have been deposited into any reserves or escrow accounts in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement to be transferred to and deposited with Lender in accordance with the terms of this Article 4 (and Borrower shall enter into a clearing account agreement and, if applicable, a cash management agreement, for the benefit of Lender substantially similar to the arrangements entered into by Mortgage Borrower at the time of the closing of the Mortgage Loan), and, if any letters of credit have been delivered by Mortgage Borrower in substitution of any such cash reserves or escrows as may be specifically permitted by the Mortgage Loan Agreement, then Borrower shall also cause such letters of credit to be transferred to Lender to be held by Lender upon the same terms and provisions as set forth in the Mortgage Loan Agreement. Borrower will execute all amendments and other documents necessary to give effect to the terms and conditions of this Article 4. All of the foregoing shall be at the sole cost and expense of Borrower.

**ARTICLE 5 <u>REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.01** **Borrower Representations .** Borrower hereby makes the representations and warranties contained in Schedule 2 to Lender as of the date of this Agreement.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.02** **Taxes and Other Charges .** Subject to Section 4.01 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower (subject to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement) to pay all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof as the same become due and payable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Borrower shall give prompt written notice to Lender of any litigation or governmental proceedings at law or in equity (including any insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership proceeding) pending or threatened against Sponsor or the Property which might materially adversely affect Sponsor's condition (financial or otherwise) or business or the use, value or operation of the Property (including any claims, actions, suits, or proceedings regarding fair housing, anti-discrimination, or equal opportunity, which shall always be deemed material).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.04** **Access to Property .** Subject to the rights of tenants under the Leases, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to permit agents, representatives and employees of Lender to inspect the Property or any part thereof at reasonable hours upon reasonable advance notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.05** **Cooperate in Legal Proceedings .** Borrower shall cooperate, and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to cooperate, with Lender with respect to any proceedings before any court, board or other Governmental Authority which may adversely affect the rights of Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and permit Lender, at its election, to participate in any such proceedings.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.06** **Award and Insurance Benefits .** Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to cooperate with Lender in obtaining for Lender the benefits of any Awards or Insurance Proceeds payable in connection with the Property, and shall reimburse Lender for any fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith out of such Award or Insurance Proceeds.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.07** **Further Assurances .** Borrower shall, and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to, at Borrower's sole cost and expense, execute and deliver to Lender such documents, instruments, certificates, assignments and other writings, and do such other acts necessary or desirable, to evidence, preserve and/or protect the collateral at any time securing or intended to secure the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents, as Lender may require.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.08** **Mortgage and Intangible Taxes .** Borrower shall pay all State, county and municipal recording, mortgage, intangible, and all other taxes imposed upon the execution and recordation of the Pledge Agreement and the Financing Statement and/or upon the execution and delivery of the Note.

Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to furnish to Lender the reports described on <u>Schedule 5</u> of the Mortgage Loan Agreement not later than the applicable date set forth for such required report. Lender may require that Borrower's and/or Mortgage Borrower's books and records be audited, at such party's expense, by an independent certified public accountant selected by Lender in order to produce or audit any statements, schedules, and reports of Borrower or Mortgage Borrower required by this Section 6.09 if (i) such party fails to provide in a timely manner the statements, schedules, and reports required by this Section 6.09 and, thereafter, such party fails to provide such statements, schedules, and reports within thirty (30) days after written notice by Lender to Borrower of such default in performance, (ii) the statements, schedules, and reports submitted to Lender pursuant to this Section 6.09 are not full, complete, and accurate in all material respects as determined by Lender and, thereafter, such party fails to provide such statements, schedules, and reports within thirty (30) days after written notice by Lender to Borrower of such default in performance, or (iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

**ARTICLE 9 <u>INSURANCE; CASUALTY; CONDEMNATION</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.01** **Insurance .** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to obtain and maintain insurance for Mortgage Borrower and the Property satisfying the requirements set forth in Schedule 4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement and shall otherwise comply with the terms and conditions set forth therein. In addition, Borrower shall cause Lender to be named as loss payee on property coverages and named as an additional insured, together with Mortgage Lender, as their interests may appear, under the insurance policies required under such insurance policies required under the Mortgage Loan Agreement as Lender shall require.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder and under the Mortgage Loan Agreement is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Collateral, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate, and all expenses including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and until paid shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and shall bear interest at the Default Rate; provided, however, so long as Mortgage Lender and Lender are the same Person (or Affiliates thereof), (x) Mortgage Borrower delivering evidence to Mortgage Lender that all insurance required hereunder and under the Mortgage Loan Agreement is in full force and effect, shall be sufficient notice hereunder, and (y) to the extent that Lender has the right to take action under this clause (b), Lender shall not take actions that are duplicative of actions being taken by Mortgage Lender provided that such actions taken by Mortgage Lender also protect the interests of Lender.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) For purposes of this Agreement, Lender shall have the same approval rights over the insurance referred to above (including, without limitation, the insurers, deductibles and coverages thereunder, as well as the right to require other reasonable insurance pursuant thereto) as are provided in favor of the Mortgage Lender in the Mortgage Loan Agreement. The Policies delivered pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Agreement shall include endorsements pursuant to which Lender shall have the same rights as the Mortgage Lender as referred to in Schedule 4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) In the event that the Mortgage Loan has been paid in full, except during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall permit Mortgage Borrower to settle any insurance or condemnation claims with respect to the insurance proceeds or condemnation awards which in the aggregate are less than or equal to the Restoration Threshold. Lender shall have the right to participate in and reasonably approve any settlement for insurance or condemnation claims with respect to the insurance proceeds or condemnation awards which in the aggregate are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower hereby irrevocably empowers Lender, in the name of Mortgage Borrower as its true and lawful attorney in fact, to file and prosecute such claim and to collect and to make receipt for any such payment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Upon repayment in full of the Mortgage Loan, the provisions of Schedule 4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement shall be deemed incorporated into this Agreement in their entirety.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.02** **Casualty .** If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a "  **<u>Casualty</u>** "), Borrower shall give prompt written notice of such damage to Lender and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration of the Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance with Section 9.04 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. Borrower shall pay, or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to pay, all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Subject to the rights of Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents, Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower or Mortgage Borrower. In the event of a Casualty where the loss and the applicable Net Proceeds are less than the Restoration Threshold, Borrower may permit Mortgage Borrower to settle and adjust such claim provided that (a) no Event of Default has occurred and remains outstanding and (b) such adjustment is carried out in a commercially reasonable and timely manner. In the event of a Casualty where the loss or the applicable Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold or if an Event of Default has occurred and remains outstanding, Borrower may permit Mortgage Borrower to settle and adjust such claim only with the prior consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Lender shall have the opportunity to participate, at Borrower's cost and expense, in any such adjustments. Notwithstanding any Casualty, Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.03** **Condemnation .** Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened (in writing) commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of all or any part of the Property and shall deliver, or cause Mortgage Borrower to deliver, to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall, and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to, from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, cause Mortgage Borrower to diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and Borrower shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise, Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 9.04 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. Subject to the rights of Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents, if the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.04** **Restoration .** The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the Property:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Borrower shall deliver, or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to deliver, to Lender all reports, plans, specifications, documents and other materials that are delivered to Mortgage Lender under the applicable terms and conditions of the Mortgage Loan Agreement in connection with a Restoration of the Property after a Casualty or Condemnation, simultaneously with any such delivery to Mortgage Lender. Subject only to the rights of Mortgage Lender pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Agreement, all Net Proceeds that are permitted by the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents to be paid to Mortgage Borrower or otherwise distributed to Borrower or Mortgage Borrower (rather than being used to rebuild or improve the Property in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Documents) shall be immediately paid over to Lender and are hereby assigned to Lender as additional collateral security hereunder.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Borrower shall (or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to) keep Lender timely informed of the progress of any Restoration and the status of any negotiations with insurers relating to any such Casualty or Condemnation. In addition, Borrower shall (or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to) provide Lender with any and all documentation reasonably requested by Lender relating to any Casualty or Condemnation or Restoration. If any Net Proceeds are to be disbursed by Mortgage Lender for Restoration, Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender copies of all written correspondence delivered to and received from Mortgage Lender that relates to the Restoration and release of the Net Proceeds. If, in connection with a Restoration, Mortgage Lender does not require the deposit by Mortgage Borrower of any Net Proceeds pursuant to the applicable terms and conditions of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, Lender shall have the right to demand that Borrower make a deposit of such Net Proceeds in accordance with those same terms and conditions, such Net Proceeds to then be governed by such terms and conditions as if each reference therein to "Lender" and "Borrower" referred to Lender and Borrower, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, all Net Proceeds will be made available to Mortgage Borrower in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Agreement. In the event the Mortgage Loan has been paid in full and Lender receives any Net Proceeds, Lender shall either apply such proceeds to the Debt or for the Restoration in accordance with the same terms and conditions contained in the Mortgage Loan Agreement. Upon repayment in full of the Mortgage Loan, the provisions of the Mortgage Loan Agreement governing Restoration and use of Net Proceeds shall be incorporated into this Agreement in their entirety.

In connection with any such proceeding, Lender may sell the Collateral as an entirety or in parts and at such times and place (at one or more sales) and upon such terms as it may deem expedient unless prohibited by law from so acting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Lender may exercise with respect to the Collateral, each right, power or remedy granted to a secured party under the UCC as enacted in the state or states applicable to any of the Collateral, including the right to foreclose upon the Collateral. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Lender with respect to the Collateral sent to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) days' prior to such action shall constitute reasonable notice to Borrower.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) With respect to Borrower and the Collateral, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to the Collateral or any part thereof for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other portion of the Collateral, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Collateral or any part thereof, in its sole and absolute discretion in respect of the Debt.

Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral shall remain subject to the Pledge Agreement to secure payment of sums secured by the Pledge Agreement and not previously recovered.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, from time to time, to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, pledges and other security documents (the "**<u>Severed Loan Documents</u>**") in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after written notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender's intent to exercise its rights under such power. The Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.03** **Remedies Cumulative; Waivers**. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender's rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender's sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one or more Defaults or Events of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

**ARTICLE 11 <u>SECONDARY MARKET TRANSACTIONS; SERVICING</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.01** **Sale of Notes and Securitization**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Lender shall have the right, at any time, (i) to sell or otherwise transfer the Loan (or any portion thereof and/or interest therein) and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto, (ii) to grant participation interests in the Loan (or any portion thereof and/or interest therein) or (iii) to securitize the Loan (or any portion thereof and/or interest therein) in a single asset securitization or pooled asset securitization, and which may also include the issuance of collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations and collateralized mortgage obligations. Each of the transactions referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above shall each hereinafter be referred to as a "**<u>Secondary Market Transaction</u>**" and the transactions referred to in clause (iii) shall hereinafter be referred to as a "**<u>Securitization</u>**". Any certificates, notes or other securities issued in connection with a Securitization are hereinafter referred to as "**<u>Securities</u>**".

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If requested by Lender, Borrower, Guarantor and Sponsor shall assist Lender (with each of Borrower, Guarantor, Sponsor and Lender paying their own costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, including legal fees and expenses) in satisfying the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction, including, without limitation, to provide updated financial and other information as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies. All costs and expenses incurred by Borrower, Guarantor, Manager and their respective Affiliates in connection with this clause (b) shall be paid by Borrower; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, to the extent that the actual and reasonable costs and expenses to be paid by Borrower pursuant to this clause (b) exceed $5,000, then Lender shall reimburse Borrower for such actual and reasonable costs and expenses incurred pursuant to this clause (b) in excess of $5,000 (it being agreed that Borrower shall pay the first $5,000.00 of such costs and expenses and Lender shall reimburse Borrower for such costs and expenses in excess thereof).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Lender may disseminate to any purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant or investor in all or any portion of the Loan or any Securities (collectively, the "**<u>Investor</u>**") or any Rating Agency rating such participations and/or Securities and each prospective Investor, and any organization maintaining databases on the underwriting and performance of commercial mortgage loans, all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Debt and to Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Guarantor, Sponsor, the Property and the Collateral, whether furnished by Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Guarantor, Sponsor or otherwise, as Lender determines necessary or desirable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Borrower covenants and agrees that after the Closing Date, (i) if applicable, Borrower shall supply to Lender such documentation, financial statements and reports in form and substance required for Lender to comply with Regulation AB of the federal securities law and (ii) Lender shall have the right to modify the provisions of this Agreement relating to the unavailability of Term SOFR and the conversion of the Loan to an alternative interest rate and/or replace such provisions to the extent Lender determines such modification or replacement is necessary or advisable in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction (including, without limitation any Securitization) with respect to the Loan. Borrower shall cooperate with Lender to implement any such modification or replacement of such provisions regarding the unavailability of Term SOFR and the conversion of the Loan to an alternative interest rate, and Borrower shall execute such amendment to this Agreement as Lender may determine is reasonably necessary in connection with the same.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.02** **Securitization Indemnification**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Borrower, Guarantor and Sponsor understand that certain of the Provided Information may be included in disclosure documents in connection with the Securitization, including, without limitation, a prospectus supplement, private placement memorandum, offering circular or other offering document (each a "**<u>Disclosure Document</u>**") and may also be included in filings (an "**<u>Exchange Act Filing</u>**") with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "**<u>Securities Act</u>**"), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "**<u>Exchange Act</u>**"), or provided or made available to Investors or prospective Investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and its officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and affiliates against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the "**<u>Liabilities</u>**") to which Lender and/or its officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and/or affiliates may become subject in connection with (i) any Disclosure Document and/or (ii) any information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower or Mortgage Borrower in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan or in connection with the preparation of any Disclosure Document, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower or Mortgage Borrower, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property, or information related to the Collateral (collectively, the "**<u>Provided Information</u>**"), which Provided Information was furnished to the Rating Agencies in connection with issuing, monitoring and/or maintaining the Securities ("**<u>Covered Rating Agency Information</u>**"), in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii), insofar as such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact in the Provided Information and/or arise out of or are based upon the omission to state a material fact in the Provided Information required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the applicable Disclosure Document and/or Covered Rating Agency Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The liabilities and obligations of Borrower, Guarantor, Sponsor and Lender under this Section 11.02 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.03** **Servicer**. At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/trustee (the "  **<u>Servicer</u>**") selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the "  **<u>Servicing Agreement</u>**") between Lender and Servicer. Upon the appointment of a Servicer, to the extent of the delegation to such Servicer, the term "Lender" shall be deemed to include the "Servicer". Borrower shall be responsible for any set-up fees, or any other initial costs relating to the appointment of any Servicer (not to exceed $750), <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that Borrower shall not be responsible for payment of the monthly servicing fee due to Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall pay (i) all consent, review and processing fees of Servicer and any related third party costs, (ii) any liquidation fees that may be due Servicer in connection with the exercise of any or all remedies permitted under the Loan Documents, (iii) any workout fees and special servicing fees that may be due to Servicer, which fees may be due on a periodic or continuing basis and (iv) the costs of all property inspections and/or appraisals of the Property (or any updates to any existing inspection or appraisal).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.04** **Severance of Loan; Intervening Mezzanine Loan**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) All costs and expenses incurred by Borrower, Guarantor, Manager and their respective Affiliates in connection with this Section 11.04 (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of the Rating Agencies) shall be paid by Borrower; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, to the extent that the actual and reasonable costs and expenses to be paid by Borrower pursuant to this clause (a) exceed $5,000, then Lender shall reimburse Borrower for such actual and reasonable costs and expenses incurred pursuant to this clause (a) in excess of $5,000 (it being agreed that Borrower shall pay the first $5,000.00 of such costs and expenses and Lender shall reimburse Borrower for such costs and expenses in excess thereof). It shall be an Event of Default if Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 11.04 after the expiration of ten (10) Business Days after notice thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Lender, without in any way limiting Lender's other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right, at any time (whether prior to, in connection with, or after any Secondary Market Transaction), with respect to all or any portion of the Loan, to modify, split and/or sever all or any portion of the Loan as hereinafter provided. Without limiting the foregoing, Lender may (i) cause the Note and the Pledge Agreement to be split into a first and second mezzanine loan, (ii) create one or more senior and subordinate notes (i.e., an A/B or A/B/C structure), (iii) create multiple components of the Note or Notes (and allocate or reallocate the principal balance of the Loan among such components), in each such case described in clauses (i) through (iii) above, in whatever proportion and whatever priority Lender determines, and (iv) modify the Loan Documents with respect to the newly created Notes or components of the Note or Notes such that the pricing and marketability of the Securities and the size of each class of Securities and the rating assigned to each such class by the Rating Agencies shall provide the most favorable rating levels and achieve the optimum rating levels for the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment described above shall (A) modify or amend any material economic term of the Loan, or (B) materially increase the obligations, or decrease the rights, of Borrower under the Loan Documents; provided, however, in each such instance the outstanding principal balance of all the Notes evidencing the Loan (or components of such Notes) immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to such modification and the weighted average of the interest rates for all such Notes (or components of such Notes) immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the interest rate of the original Note immediately prior to such modification. At Lender's election, each note comprising the Loan may be subject to one or more Securitizations. Lender shall have the right to modify the Note and/or Notes and any components in accordance with this Section 11.04 and, provided that such modification shall comply with the terms of this Section 11.04, it shall become immediately effective. Borrower shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in furtherance of this Section 11.04, including, without limitation, that Borrower (and Borrower's constituent members, if applicable, and Guarantor) shall execute within ten (10) days after such request, such documentation as Lender may reasonably request to evidence and/or effectuate any such modification or severance.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Mortgage Lender and Lender may agree that, in lieu of a senior mezzanine loan pursuant to Section 11.04(c) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, Lender will increase the amount of the Loan. In such case: (i) the references in Section 11.04(c) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement to the senior mezzanine loan shall be deemed to refer to the amount of the increase of the Loan (and resultant reduction in the amount of the Mortgage Loan); (ii) Borrower shall continue as the obligor with respect to the Loan, in lieu of requiring a Senior Mezzanine Borrower (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement); and (iii) Borrower shall cooperate with Lender and Mortgage Lender pursuant to the terms of Section 11.04(c) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. In furtherance thereof, Borrower shall (A) cause Mortgage Borrower to prepay the outstanding principal of the Mortgage Loan in an amount equal to the increase in the principal amount in the Loan, (B) cooperate (and cause Mortgage Borrower to cooperate) with all reasonable requests of Lender and Mortgage Lender in order to increase the principal balance of the Loan and prepay the Mortgage Loan as required hereby and pursuant to Section 11.04(c) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, and (C) execute and deliver, and cause to be executed and delivered, such documents as shall reasonably be required by Lender, Mortgage Lender and/or any Rating Agency in connection therewith, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and Mortgage Lender and, if applicable, satisfactory to such Rating Agency (including, without limitation, such opinions, title endorsements, UCC title insurance policies, documents and/or instruments relating to the Property Documents and the modification of organizational documents and loan documents, as may be required in connection therewith).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.05** **REMIC Savings Clause**. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, with respect to a Casualty or a Condemnation or the release of any portion of the real property relating to the Property, for so long as the Loan or any portion thereof is included in a REMIC Trust, if the loan to value ratio (such value to be determined by the Lender in its sole discretion based on a commercially reasonable valuation method using only the portion of the Property which constitutes acceptable real estate collateral under the Code for a REMIC Trust) immediately after such Condemnation or Casualty, as the case may be, and prior to any Restoration (but taking into account any planned Restoration of the Property as if such planned Restoration were completed) or immediately following the release of any portion of the real property relating to the Property, is more than one hundred twenty-five percent (125%), the principal balance of the Loan must be paid down by Borrower by a "qualified amount" as that term is defined in the IRS Revenue Procedure 2010-30, as the same may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time (and, in connection with a Condemnation or Casualty, no Yield Maintenance Premium or any other prepayment premium or fee shall be due in connection therewith), in order to meet the foregoing loan to value ratio unless Borrower delivers to Lender an opinion of counsel, acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion, that if such amount is not paid, the applicable Securitization will not fail to meet applicable federal income tax qualification requirements or subject such Securitization to tax; provided, however, that if the immediately preceding provisions are no longer applicable under legal requirements relating to a REMIC Trust, Borrower shall comply with all Applicable Laws relating to a Casualty or Condemnation or the release of any portion of the real property relating to the Property then in effect.

Whenever pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (a) the Rating Agencies are given any right to approve or disapprove, (b) the confirmation of the Rating Agencies as to no downgrade is required or (c) any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to the Rating Agencies, the prior written consent of Lender in its sole discretion shall be substituted therefor prior to a Securitization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.03** **Governing Law**. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT ENTERED INTO PURSUANT TO THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED, CONSTRUED, APPLIED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS). WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OR ACTION ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE, THE PLEDGE AGREEMENT, OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, BORROWER (A) IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK, AND APPELLATE COURTS FROM ANY THEREOF, AND (B) IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE AT ANY TIME TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.07** **Trial by Jury**. BORROWER HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.

LENDER IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY BORROWER.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.08** **Headings**. The Article and/or Section headings and the **Table of Contents** in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.09** **Severability**. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under Applicable Law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.10** **Preferences**. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the obligations of Borrower hereunder.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.11** **Waiver of Notice**. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which Applicable Law, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to Applicable Law, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which Applicable Law, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.12** **Remedies of Borrower**. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower's sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.13** **Expenses; Indemnity**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender within ten (10) days of receipt of written notice from Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower (including without limitation any opinions requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents); (ii) Borrower's ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower's respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) Lender's ongoing performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date; (iv) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters requested by Borrower or Lender; (v) securing Borrower's compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; (vi) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Lien in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vii) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Collateral, or any other security given for the Loan; and (viii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a "work-out" or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Restricted Account.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the "**<u>Additional Indemnified Liabilities</u>**"); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Additional Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under Applicable Law to the payment and satisfaction of all Additional Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless Lender and the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all losses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in the investigation, defense, and settlement of losses incurred in correcting any prohibited transaction or in the sale of a prohibited loan, and in obtaining any individual prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA, the Code, any state statute or other similar law that may be required, in Lender's sole discretion) that Lender may incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of a default under Sections 5.01-29 or 6.22 hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, (i) any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any Rating Agency review of the Loan, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or (ii) any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.14** **Applicable Law**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) If any Regulatory Change or change in the interpretation or application of any requirement of law, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender, which is not otherwise included in the determination of Term SOFR hereunder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder;

then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which Lender deems to be material as reasonably determined by Lender, provided that, such demand by Lender shall apply to all loans similarly affected by such change. Payments pursuant to this Section 12.14 shall be made within ten (10) days after the date Lender makes written demand therefor.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.15** **Taxes**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Any and all payments by Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on Lender's income, and franchise taxes imposed on Lender by the law or regulation of any Governmental Authority (all such non excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to in this Section 12.15 as "**<u>Applicable Taxes</u>**"). If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Applicable Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Lender, the following shall apply: (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 12.15), Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with Applicable Law. Payments pursuant to this Section 12.15 shall be made within ten (10) days after the date Lender makes written demand therefor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Prior to the date that any lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States of America becomes a party hereto, such lender shall deliver to Borrower such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto (including Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI and W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or appropriate successor forms), properly completed, currently effective and duly executed by such lender establishing that payments to it pursuant to the Loan Documents are (i) not subject to United States federal backup withholding tax and (ii) not subject to United States Federal withholding tax under the Code. Each such lender shall (x) deliver further copies of such forms or other appropriate certifications on or before the date that any such forms expire or become obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form delivered to Borrower and (y) obtain such extensions of the time for filing, and renew such forms and certifications thereof, as may be reasonably requested by Borrower. If a payment made to a lender under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA and such lender fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, such lender shall deliver (A) a certification signed by the chief financial officer, principal accounting officer, treasurer or controller, and (B) other documentation reasonably requested by Borrower sufficient for Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such lender has complied with such applicable reporting requirements. Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount pursuant to Section 12.15(a) above to any lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America if such lender fails to comply with the requirements of this Section 12.15(b). Borrower will not be required to pay any additional amounts in respect of United States federal income tax pursuant to Section 12.15(a) above to any lender if the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by lender to comply with its obligations under this Section 12.15(b).

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.21** **Waiver of Counterclaim**. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.

Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender's exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.23** **Brokers and Financial Advisors**. Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than Landstone Capital Group ("  **<u>Broker</u>** "). Borrower shall be responsible for paying any fees or commissions payable to Broker pursuant to a separate written agreement between Borrower and Broker. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender's attorneys' fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person (including, without limitation, Broker) that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. Borrower acknowledges that Lender may separately pay fees to Broker for referring the Loan to Lender. In addition, Broker may act as a servicer for the Loan and may receive a per annum servicing fee in connection therewith. In addition to such servicing fees, Broker may be entitled to receive a termination fee from Lender in certain circumstances in connection with the termination of such servicing. Such fees (i) are in addition to any fees which may be paid by Borrower to Broker and (ii) create a potential conflict of interest for Broker in its relationship with Borrower. Borrower acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to speak with Broker regarding such fees and that Lender is available to discuss any questions Borrower may have regarding such fees. Borrower agrees that Lender is not responsible for any recommendations or advice given to Borrower by Broker, that Lender and Borrower are dealing at arms'-length with each other in a commercial lending transaction and that no fiduciary or other special relationship exists or shall exist between them.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.24** **Prior Agreements**. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, between Borrower and/or its Affiliates and Lender are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Collateral is not and will not be subject to any contractual restriction upon the transfer thereof (except for any such restriction contained in the Pledge Agreement, this Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Documents and the Mortgage Borrower Company Agreement).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The office where Borrower keeps its records concerning the Collateral is the address specified in Section 5.01-30 hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) There is no certificate or instrument evidencing or representing any of the Collateral that is presently outstanding (and has not been marked cancelled) other than the Ownership Certificate, which is being delivered to Lender on the date hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Pledge Agreement and the Financing Statement create a valid security interest in the Collateral, securing the payment of the Debt, and upon the filing in the appropriate filing offices of the Financing Statement and delivery of the Ownership Certificate to Lender, such security interest will be perfected, first priority security interests and all filings and other actions necessary to perfect such security interest will have been duly taken. Upon the exercise of its rights and remedies under the Pledge Agreement and the Financing Statement, Lender will succeed to all of the rights, titles and interest of Borrower in Mortgage Borrower without the consent of any other Person and will, without the consent of any other Person, be admitted as a member in Mortgage Borrower. Mortgage Borrower is not taxed as a corporation under the Code or any other applicable laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The Collateral is covered by a UCC insurance policy in the amount of the Loan, insuring that the Pledge Agreement creates a valid and perfected first lien on the Collateral, and that Borrower is the sole owner of the Collateral, with such endorsements and affirmative coverages as Lender shall have requested, which UCC insurance policy (a) is in full force and effect, (b) is freely assignable to and will inure to the benefit of Lender and any successor or assignee of Lender, including the trustee in any Secondary Market Transaction, (c) has been paid in full, (d) has had no claims made against it, and (e) lists no exceptions. Mortgage Borrower's policy of owner's title insurance includes a "mezzanine lender's endorsement" naming Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) There are no prior assignments of the Collateral that are presently outstanding except in accordance with the Loan Documents.

| **5.01-8** | **Solvency.** Borrower (a) has not entered into the transaction or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents. Giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrower's assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower's total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. Borrower's assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to incur debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower). No petition under the Bankruptcy Code or similar state bankruptcy or insolvency law has been filed against any Borrower Party in the last seven (7) years, and no Borrower Party in the last seven (7) years has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. No Borrower Party is contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under the Bankruptcy Code or similar state bankruptcy or insolvency law or the liquidation of all or a major portion of Borrower's assets or property, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or any other Borrower Party. |

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **5.01-9** | **Full and Accurate Disclosure.** No statement of fact made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no fact presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender which materially and adversely affects, or would be reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect, the Collateral or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **5.01-10** | **Compliance.** Borrower and the Collateral comply with all Applicable Laws. Borrower is not in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority. There has not been committed by Borrower or any other Person involved with the operation of Borrower's business any act or omission affording the federal government or any other Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture against the Collateral or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower's obligations under any of the Loan Documents. |

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **5.01-11** | **Financial Information.** All financial data, including, without limitation, the statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Lender in respect of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Guarantor, Sponsor, the Property and the Collateral (i) are true, complete and correct in all material respects, (ii) accurately represent the financial condition of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Guarantor, Sponsor, the Property and the Collateral, as applicable, as of the date of such reports, and (iii) have been prepared in accordance with the Approved Accounting Method (or such other method of accounting reasonably acceptable to Lender) throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein. Except for Permitted Encumbrances, Borrower does not have any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to Borrower and reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on the Collateral or the operation of Borrower's business except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no materially adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Guarantor or Sponsor from that set forth in said financial statements. Borrower is not party to any type of lockbox agreement or similar cash management arrangement that has not been approved by Lender in writing, and no direct or indirect owner of Borrower is party to any type of lockbox agreement or similar cash management arrangement with respect to income from the Collateral that has not been approved by Lender in writing. |

(b) If Borrower is a limited partnership or a limited liability company (other than an Acceptable LLC), each general partner or managing member (each, a "**<u>SPC Party</u>**") shall be an Acceptable LLC (I) whose sole asset is its interest in Borrower, (II) which has not been and shall not be permitted to engage in any business or activity other than owning an interest in Borrower; (III) which has not been and shall not be permitted to incur any debt, secured or unsecured, direct or contingent (including guaranteeing any obligation); and (IV) which has and will at all times own at least a 0.5% direct equity ownership interest in Borrower. Each such SPC Party will at all times comply, and will cause Borrower to comply, with each of the representations, warranties, and covenants contained in this Schedule 3 (to the extent applicable) as if such representation, warranty or covenant was made directly by such SPC Party. Upon the withdrawal or the disassociation of an SPC Party from Borrower, Borrower shall immediately appoint a new SPC Party whose articles of organization and operating agreement are substantially similar to those of such SPC Party and deliver a new Insolvency Opinion to Lender with respect to the new SPC Party and its equity owners. For the avoidance of doubt, for so long as Borrower is an Acceptable LLC, no managing member of Borrower shall be considered an "SPC Party," no "SPC Party" shall be required hereunder, and the term "SPC Party" shall not refer to any Person. For the further avoidance of doubt, neither Borrower nor any SPC Party shall be a corporation.

(c) In the event Borrower or SPC Party is an Acceptable LLC, the limited liability company agreement of Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable) (the "**<u>LLC Agreement</u>**") shall provide that (i) upon the occurrence of any event that causes the last remaining member of Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable) ("**<u>Member</u>**") to cease to be the member of Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable) (other than (A) upon an assignment by Member of all of its limited liability company interest in Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable) and the admission of the transferee in accordance with the Loan Documents and the LLC Agreement, or (B) the resignation of Member and the admission of an additional member of Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable) in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and the LLC Agreement), any person acting as the designated special member of Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable) shall, without any action of any other Person and simultaneously with the Member ceasing to be the member of Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable) automatically be admitted to Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable) as a member with a 0% economic interest ("**<u>Special Member</u>**") and shall continue Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable) without dissolution and (ii) Special Member may not resign from Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable) or transfer its rights as Special Member unless (A) a successor Special Member has been admitted to Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable) as a Special Member in accordance with requirements of Delaware law and (B) after giving effect to such resignation or transfer, there remains at least one (1) Independent Director of Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable) in accordance with subsections (e) and (f) below. The LLC Agreement shall further provide that (i) Special Member shall automatically cease to be a member of Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable) upon the admission to Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable) of the first substitute member, (ii) Special Member shall be a member of Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable) that has no interest in the profits, losses and capital of Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable) and has no right to receive any distributions of the assets of Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable), (iii) pursuant to the applicable provisions of the limited liability company act of the state of Delaware (the "**<u>Act</u>**"), Special Member shall not be required to make any capital contributions to Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable) and shall not receive a limited liability company interest in Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable), (iv) Special Member, in its capacity as Special Member, may not bind Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable) and (v) except as required by any mandatory provision of the Act, Special Member, in its capacity as Special Member, shall have no right to vote on, approve or otherwise consent to any action by, or matter relating to, Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable) including, without limitation, the merger, consolidation or conversion of Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable); provided, however, such prohibition shall not limit the obligations of Special Member, in its capacity as Independent Director, to vote on such matters required by the Loan Documents or the LLC Agreement. In order to implement the admission to Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable) of Special Member, Special Member shall execute a counterpart to the LLC Agreement. Prior to its admission to Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable) as Special Member, Special Member shall not be a member of Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable), but Special Member may serve as an Independent Director of Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable).

------

(d) The LLC Agreement shall further provide that, (i) upon the occurrence of any event that causes the Member to cease to be a member of Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal representative of Member shall, within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of Member in Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable) agree in writing (A) to continue Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable) and (B) to the admission of the personal representative or its nominee or designee, as the case may be, as a substitute member of Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable) effective as of the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of Member in Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable), (ii) any action initiated by or brought against Member or Special Member under any Creditors' Rights Laws shall not cause Member or Special Member to cease to be a member of Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable) and upon the occurrence of such an event, the business of Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable) shall continue without dissolution, and (iii) each of Member and Special Member waives any right it might have to agree in writing to dissolve Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable) upon the occurrence of any action initiated by or brought against Member or Special Member under any Creditors' Rights Laws, or the occurrence of an event that causes Member or Special Member to cease to be a member of Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable).

(e) The organizational documents of Borrower (to the extent Borrower is an Acceptable LLC) or SPC Party, as applicable, shall provide that at all times there shall be at least one (1) duly appointed member of its board of directors or managers, as applicable that is an Independent Director.

------

(f) The organizational documents of Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable) shall further provide that (I) the board of directors or managers of Borrower or SPC Party, as applicable, and the constituent members of such entities (the "**Constituent Members**") shall not take any action which, under the terms of any organizational documents of Borrower or SPC Party, as applicable, requires the unanimous vote of (1) the board of directors or managers of Borrower or SPC Party, as applicable, or (2) the Constituent Members, unless at the time of such action there shall be at least one (1) Independent Director engaged as provided by the terms hereof; (II) no Independent Director may be removed or replaced except for Cause; (III) any resignation, removal or replacement of any Independent Director shall not be effective without two (2) Business Days' prior written notice to Lender accompanied by evidence that the replacement Independent Director satisfies the applicable terms and conditions hereof and of the applicable organizational documents; (IV) to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, including Section 18-1101(c) of the Act and notwithstanding any duty otherwise existing at law or in equity, the Independent Director shall consider only the interests of the Constituent Members and Borrower and any SPC Party (including Borrower's and any SPC Party's respective creditors) in acting or otherwise voting on the matters provided for herein and in Borrower's and SPC Party's organizational documents (which such fiduciary duties to the Constituent Members and Borrower and any SPC Party (including Borrower's and any SPC Party's respective creditors), in each case, shall be deemed to apply solely to the extent of their respective economic interests in Borrower or SPC Party (as applicable) exclusive of (x) all other interests (including, without limitation, all other interests of the Constituent Members), (y) the interests of other affiliates of the Constituent Members, Borrower and SPC Party and (z) the interests of any group of affiliates of which the Constituent Members, Borrower or SPC Party is a part); (V) other than as provided in subsection (IV) above, the Independent Director shall not have any fiduciary duties to any Constituent Members, any directors of Borrower or SPC Party or any other Person; (VI) the foregoing shall not eliminate the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing under Applicable Law; (VII) to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, including Section 18-1101(e) of the Act, an Independent Director shall not be liable to Borrower, SPC Party, any Constituent Member or any other Person for breach of contract or breach of duties (including fiduciary duties), unless the Independent Director acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misconduct; and (VIII) except as provided in the foregoing subsections (IV) through (VII), the Independent Director shall, in exercising their rights and performing their duties under the applicable organizational documents, have a fiduciary duty of loyalty and care similar to that of a director of a business corporation organized under the General Corporation Law of the state of Delaware.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Independent Director of Borrower or any SPC Party may also serve as an independent director of Mortgage Borrower or any special purpose component entity of Mortgage Borrower.
