party thereto, and Administrative Agent, as amended by a First Amendment to Loan

Agreement”). Terms
used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such
terms in Annex 1 to the Loan Agreement (the “Glossary”), as
amended hereby.

 

The
parties hereto have agreed to amend certain provisions of the Loan Agreement as
herein provided.

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto agree as follows, effective as of the date hereof:

 

Section
1.  Cash
Management Collateral Accounts.

 

1.1  Each of
Section 8.1 of the Loan Agreement and the Glossary is amended hereby to delete
all references to the Debt Service Account. In furtherance of the deletion of
the concept of the Debt Service Account, Paragraph (4) of Section 8.1 of the
Loan Agreement is amended hereby to read as follows:

 

“(4) Disbursements
from Collateral Account.

 

“(i) Subject
to Section
8.1(1), the
Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to transfer or
allocate, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent shall transfer or allocate
(or cause DBTCA to transfer or allocate pursuant to disbursement instructions
from the Administrative Agent), as applicable, from the Payments Account, funds
in the amounts, at the times and in the order of priority, as
follows:

 

 

“(a) for the
payment of Debt Service funds equal all interest to be paid on the next
applicable Payment Dates in respect of all Interest Periods then outstanding
(e.g., in the event there are multiple Interest Periods then outstanding, the
amount deposited would equal the aggregate of all sums payable on the next
Payment Date applicable to each such Interest Period);

 

“(b) during
any Low DSCR Period or if a Noticed Event of Default shall have occurred and is
then continuing, on the 15th day of
each calendar month (or the next succeeding Business Day with respect to any
month in which the 15th day is
not a Business Day), funds in an amount equal to the balance (if any) deposited
in the Payments Account to the extent remaining after the foregoing allocation
set forth in Section
8.1(4)(i)(a) and
apply the same, to the prepayment of the Loan and payment of accrued but unpaid
interest on the amount prepaid, pursuant to Sections 3.3.(2)(E) and
3.3(3) (and all
amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.8 as a
result of such prepayment); and

 

“(c) provided
no Noticed Event of Default or Low DSCR Period shall have occurred and is then
continuing, on the 1st day of
each calendar month (or the next succeeding Business Day with respect to any
month in which the 1st day is not a Business Day), funds in an amount equal to
the balance (if any) deposited in the Payments Account to the extent remaining
after the foregoing allocation and deposit set forth in Sections
8.1(4)(i)(a) through
(b) (the
“Excess
Cash Flow”) and
transfer the same to the Borrower’s Account free of any Lien or continuing
security interest.

 

“(ii) Not less
than five (5) days prior to each Payment Date, Administrative Agent shall notify
the Borrower of the balance on deposit in the Payments Account (or in the
Suspense Account) allocated for the payment of Debt Service as of such notice
date. On any Payment Date, any deficiency in amounts on deposit in the Payments
Account (or in the Suspense Account) relative to the Debt Service required to be
paid on such date shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder; provided, that if
the Administrative Agent has not provided timely notice of the balance on
deposit in the Payments Account (or in the Suspense Account) allocated for the
payment of Debt Service prior to such Payment Date pursuant to the preceding
sentence, such Event of Default will only occur if the Debt Service required to
be paid on such Payment Date remains unpaid in full five (5) days following the
earlier of the date such notice is provided or the date the notice contemplated
by the following sentence is provided. Upon the occurrence of a deficiency in
the Payments Account (or in amounts held in the Suspense Account) allocated for
the payment of Debt Service on any Payment Date relative to the Debt Service
required to be paid on such date, Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower of
said deficiency within five (5) Business Days thereafter; provided,
however,
Administrative Agent’s failure to notify Borrower shall not be deemed a waiver
of any Event of Default arising from such deficiency. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, no
Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred hereunder or thereunder (and
no Default Rate shall be applicable) in the event funds sufficient for a
required transfer are held in an appropriate Collateral Account and the
Administrative Agent or DBTCA fails to timely make any transfer from such
Collateral Account as contemplated by this Agreement.

 

 

“(iii) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Security Instruments, but
subject to Section
7.4(3), to the
extent that the Borrower shall fail to pay any mortgage recording tax, costs,
expenses or other amounts pursuant to Section
7.1(23) of this
Agreement within the time period set forth therein, the Administrative Agent
shall have the right, at any time, upon five (5) Business Days’ notice to the
Borrower, to withdraw from funds constituting Excess Cash Flow in the Payments
Account, an amount equal to such unpaid taxes, costs, expenses and/or other
amounts and pay such amounts to the Person(s) entitled thereto.

 

“(iv) Subject
to Section
8.1(1), the
Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to make and, provided
no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative
Agent hereby agrees to make, to the extent of the monies on deposit in the
Payments Account allocated for payment of Debt Service, payment of funds from
such account to the Administrative Agent sufficient to pay Debt Service on each
Payment Date, and the Administrative Agent, on each Payment Date, shall apply
such funds to the payment of the Debt Service payable on such Payment
Date.”

definition of “Debt Service Account” in the Glossary is deleted hereby.

2.  Refinancing

Refinancing”) is
consummated, the Net Cash Proceeds of the HDC Refinancing shall not be required
