With respect to any aspects of the business of Company that are not addressed by the Operating Budget or Business Plan for that given year, the Managing Member is authorized and directed to cause the employees of the Company to conduct such aspect of the business of the Company in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the most recently approved Operating Budget or Business Plan, as applicable, and otherwise in accordance with prior practice; provided, however, that, if applicable, the Managing Member may adjust the annual compensation of the Chatham Company Personnel and other expenses of the Company for inflation.
Section 2.6    Voting Rights of Members.
(a)    The Members shall have no right or authority to vote on matters other than matters explicitly requiring such vote in this Agreement or in the Act.  For matters set forth in this Agreement explicitly requiring a vote of the Members, such matters shall require the vote of all Members.  In the event any Member shall transfer less than all of its Percentage Interest to an unaffiliated third party in a transaction or in a series of transactions, then the portion of 

-47-

such Member’s votes that is equal to the portion of such Member’s Percentage Interest transferred shall be deemed cancelled and the transferee (if an unaffiliated third party) in such transfer shall not have the right to vote on any matter as an “Member”.  In the event any Member shall transfer its entire Percentage Interest held on the date of such transfer to an unaffiliated third party in a transaction or in a series of transactions, then all of the votes of its Percentage Interest on the date of such transfer shall be deemed to have been transferred to such transferee upon the satisfaction of the conditions contained in Article V and such transferee shall not have the right to vote on any matter as a “Member”.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time a Member (i) shall transfer more than 50% of such Member’s Percentage Interest (excluding, however, Permitted Transfers), or (ii) shall be in default with respect to its obligations to fund additional capital contributions pursuant to Section 2.2 above, the remaining votes of such Member shall be deemed cancelled and such Member shall have no voting rights except as otherwise required by the Act; provided, that in the case of clause (ii), (x) to the extent Contributing Member(s) elect to treat their respective Funded Amounts as Priming Capital Contributions and such Non-Contributing Member repays all such Priming Capital Contributions (including all interest thereon) within 10 days, the voting rights of such Member shall be reinstated and (y) to the extent the Contributing Member(s) elect to treat their respective Funded Amounts as Additional Capital Contributions, the Company shall provide notice to such Non-Contributing Member on the next Business Day indicating such election and the voting rights of such Non-Contributing Member shall be deemed cancelled if the Non-Contributing Member does not provide its capital contribution to the Company within 10 days after receipt of such notice. 
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, unless expressly set forth in this Agreement (including pursuant to Section 3.2(h) above), the Company shall not approve or take, and the Managing Member shall neither take nor cause the Company to take or approve, any action with respect to any Major Decision without the affirmative vote or written consent of all of the Members.
Section 2.7    Buy/Sell.  At any time after the second (2nd) anniversary of the Effective Date, the following shall apply:
(a)    Either NS Managing Member or Chatham Managing Member (as the case may be, the “Proposing Member”) shall have the right (but not the obligation) to deliver a written notice (the “Buy/Sell Notice”) to the other Member (the “Non-Proposing Member”), which Buy/Sell Notice (in order to be effective) shall: (i) state that the Proposing Member offers to purchase all of the membership interest in the Company of the Non-Proposing Member, (ii) set forth an all-cash valuation (the “Asset Purchase Price”) for all of the Buy/Sell Assets, (iii) set forth the name and address of a national escrow agent selected by the Proposing Member and reasonably acceptable to the Non-Proposing Member (the “Buy/Sell Escrow Agent”) in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Section 3.7, (iv) be accompanied by a certified or bank check payable to the order of the Buy/Sell Escrow Agent or evidence of a wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to the Buy/Sell Escrow Agent (such check or wire transfer, the “Proposing Member’s Deposit”) in an amount equal to three and one-quarter percent (3.25%) of the Asset Purchase Price, and the parties shall otherwise act in accordance with the escrow provisions set forth on Schedule H attached hereto, and (v) provide that the Proposing Member shall indemnify the Non-Proposing Member against any liabilities it incurs 

-48-

as a result of any failure to obtain any consent required from a franchisor to the acquisition by the Proposing Member contemplated by such Buy/Sell Notice that is required pursuant to any franchise agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party.  For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that in the event the Proposing Member elects to send a Buy/Sell Notice, the Proposing Member must offer to purchase all of the limited liability company interests of the Non-Proposing Member in the Company (i.e., the Proposing Member may not offer to purchase less than 100% of all of the Non-Proposing Members’ membership interest in the Company).  Any Buy/Sell Notice that does not comply with the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.7(a) shall be void and of no force or effect.
(b)    On or before the expiration of the Buy/Sell Response Period, the Non-Proposing Member shall respond to the Buy/Sell Notice by delivering a notice (a “Buy/Sell Response”) to the Proposing Member.  The Buy/Sell Response, in order to be effective for any purpose, shall (i) state either (x) that the Non-Proposing Member elects to sell its membership interest in the Company to the Proposing Member at the Buy/Sell Membership Interest Purchase Price or (y) that the Non-Proposing Member elects to purchase the membership interest of the Proposing Member in the Company at the Buy/Sell Membership Interest Purchase Price, (ii) if an election is made by the Non-Proposing Member under clause (i)(y) above, be accompanied by a certified or bank check payable to the order of the Buy/Sell Escrow Agent or evidence of a wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to the Buy/Sell Escrow Agent (such check or wire transfer, the “Non-Proposing Member’s Deposit”) in an amount equal to three and one-quarter percent (3.25%) of the Asset Purchase Price and (iii) if an election is made by the Non-Proposing Member under clause (i)(y) above, be accompanied by either the bank or certified check delivered by the Proposing Member (if the Proposing Member made the Proposing Member’s Deposit in the form of a bank or certified check and solely to the extent the Non-Proposing Member has not theretofore deposited any such check into escrow with the Buy/Sell Escrow Agent) or an instruction to the Buy/Sell Escrow Agent (or its financial institution) to refund to the Proposing Member the amounts deposited in escrow together with any accrued interest earned thereon.  The failure of the Non-Proposing Member to respond during the Buy/Sell Response Period, or the failure of any Buy/Sell Response purportedly delivered under this Section 3.7(b) to comply with the provisions of this Section 3.7(b), shall be deemed to be an election by the Non-Proposing Member to sell its membership interest in the Company to the Proposing Member at the Buy/Sell Membership Interest Purchase Price; provided, however, if the Non-Proposing Member fails to respond during the Buy/Sell Response Period, then the Proposing Member shall have the right, exercisable within fifteen (15) days after the expiration of the Buy/Sell Response Period, to withdraw its Buy/Sell Notice, in which event the Buy/Sell Deposit Funds shall be refunded to the Proposing Member and such Buy/Sell transaction shall be deemed terminated and without effect, provided, further, however, such determination to withdraw by the Proposing Member shall not affect the Proposing Member’s right to deliver future Buy/Sell Notices which right shall continue in full force and effect. 
(c)    In the event the closing occurs with respect to the purchase by the Purchasing Member such closing shall be on the terms set forth on Schedule G attached hereto.
(d)    The Members acknowledge and agree the following with respect to the buy/sell process set forth in this Section 3.7:  (i) concurrently with the delivery of the Buy/Sell 

-49-

Notice under this Agreement, the Proposing Member shall be required to deliver a Buy/Sell Notice under the Ink I LLC Agreement; (ii) the Non-Proposing Member shall be required to make the same election in the Buy/Sell Response under this Agreement and the Buy/Sell Response under the Ink I LLC Agreement (i.e., the Non-Proposing Member shall not have the right to elect to sell its interests in the Company to the Proposing Member under this Agreement and then elect to buy the interests of the Proposing Member in Ink I under the Ink I LLC Agreement; (iii) in the event either Member fails to comply with any obligation under the buy/sell process set forth in Section 3.7 of the Ink I LLC Agreement, then such failure shall be deemed a default by such Member under this Section 3.7 (i.e., a Member shall not be permitted to consummate the buy/sell process contemplated by this Section 3.7 unless, concurrently therewith, it is consummating the buy/sell process contemplated by Section 3.7 of the Ink I LLC Agreement); and (iv) the buy/sell process contemplated by this Section 3.7 shall close simultaneously with the buy/sell process contemplated by Section 3.7 of the Ink I LLC Agreement).
(e)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, Chatham Managing Manager shall not have the right to deliver a Buy/Sell Notice during a Spin-Off Blackout Period or during a Portfolio Sale Blackout Period. 
Section 2.8    Put/Call Options. 
(a)    Put Option.  Within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Put Option Commencement Date, Chatham Managing Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, to deliver a written notice to NS Managing Member (the “Put Notice”) indicating its election to sell to NS Managing Member (and requiring NS Managing Member to buy from Chatham Managing Member) all of Chatham Managing Member’s right, title and interest in and to the Company (the “Option Interests”) in accordance with this Section 3.8(a).  For purposes hereof, the “Put Option Commencement Date” shall mean the date on which either (i) NS effectuates a Permitted Corporate Transaction that is a spin-off and the result thereof is that NRFC, NSAM or any of their respective Affiliates no longer Controls NS Managing Member, (ii) there is a Change in Control with respect to NS Managing Member, or a Parent Change in Control, that in either instance results in NS Managing Member being Controlled by a Chatham Competitor or (iii) NS Managing Member makes a Qualified IPO Demand. 
(b)    Call Option.  At any time following the Call Option Commencement Date, NS Managing Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, to deliver a written notice to Chatham Managing Member (the “Call Notice”; and together with the Put Notice, collectively, the “Option Notice”) of its good faith intention to spin-off one hundred percent (100%) of the membership interests in the Company and that it is therefore electing to purchase from Chatham Managing Member (and requiring Chatham Managing Member to sell to NS Managing Member) the Option Interests in accordance with this Section 3.8(b).  For purposes hereof, the “Call Option Commencement Date” shall mean the date on which NS determines that it desires to spin-off one hundred percent (100%) of the membership interests in the Company.  NS Managing Member shall not be permitted to deliver a Call Notice within six (6) months of the end of a Spin-Off Blackout Period.

-50-

(c)    Option Price.
(i)    In each case (i.e., “Put Option” or “Call Option”) other than a Put Option pursuant to Section 3.8(a)(iii):
		
	1)
	The purchase price for the Option Interests (the “Option Price”) shall be equal to the amount of Available Cash that Chatham Managing Member would have received pursuant to the application of the provisions of Section 7.1 if the Assets were sold to a third party on the Option Closing Date for a price equal to the Fair Market Value and an amount equal to the Adjusted Fair Market Value was distributed to the Members (it being agreed that any disputes as to Fair Market Value Additions, Fair Market Value Prorations and/or the allocation of the Fair Market Value among the Assets shall be resolved by the determination of the Accountants, which determination shall be binding on the Members, absent manifest error).

		
	2)
	In the event that the applicable party delivers an Option Notice (in each case, the “Initiating Party”) to the appropriate counter-party (in each case the “Notice Recipient”), said Initiating Party shall set forth in the Option Notice (i) its proposed Option Price and (ii) a calculation of its Option Price, inclusive of its determination of the fair market value of each of the Assets (the “Initiating Party Fair Market Value”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Initiating Party Fair Market Value and consequent Option Price shall not be binding on the parties until such time as agreed to, in writing, by both the Initiating Party and the Notice Recipient.  

		
	3)
	Within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt of an Option Notice, the Notice Recipient shall respond in writing to the Initiating Party either (i) agreeing to the Initiating Party Fair Market Value (each a “Value Acceptance Notice”), or (ii) disagreeing with the Initiating Party Fair Market Value (each a “Value Dispute Notice”; and together with a Value Acceptance Notice, each a “Notice Response”).  All Value Dispute Notices shall set forth the Notice Recipient’s opinion as to the fair market value of the Assets.  The foregoing notwithstanding, failure of a Notice Recipient to timely deliver a Notice Response shall be deemed a Value Dispute Notice by the Notice Recipient delivered on the last day of such fifteen (15) Business Day period. 

		
	4)
	In the event that the Notice Recipient delivers a Value Dispute Notice, then the parties shall work together in good faith for up to ten (10) days (the “Value Negotiation Period”) in an attempt to establish a mutually agreed upon fair market value of the Assets.  In the event that the parties are able to agree upon a fair market value of the Assets prior to the expiration of the Value Negotiation Period, then the parties shall work together in good faith to close the contemplated transaction prior to the end of the Option Closing Period. In the event that Value Negotiation Period expires without the parties having agreed 

-51-

to a mutually acceptable fair market value, then the fair market value shall be determined in accordance with Section 3.8(d).
(ii)    In the case of a Put Option pursuant to Section 3.8(a)(iii), the purchase price for the Option Interests shall be equal to Chatham Managing Member’s Percentage Interest multiplied by the equity capitalization of the Company or IPO Entity, as applicable, based on the price of the equity interests sold in the Qualified IPO.
(d)    Appraisal.  In each case (i.e., Put Option or Call Option) other than a Put Option pursuant to Section 3.8(a)(iii):
(i)    If the parties are unable to agree on a Fair Market Value prior to the expiration of the Value Negotiation Period, then each party shall promptly select a unaffiliated third party, MAI appraiser or investment sales broker, who or that, as the case may be, has been actively involved in the valuation or sales of assets comparable to the Assets over the ten (10) years preceeding the delivery of the applicable Option Notice as reasonably determined by the selecting party (each an “Appraiser”) to determine a fair market value of the Assets.  If either party reasonably objects to an Appraiser chosen by the other party on the grounds that such Appraiser does not satisfy the definition of “Appraiser”, then the non-objecting party shall select an alternative Appraiser within ten (10) days of such objection; provided, however, that if a party does not raise any objection within five (5) days after notification of the identity of the other party’s Appraiser, then such Appraiser shall be deemed to satisfy the definition of “Appraiser”.  Each party shall be solely responsible for paying the cost and expenses of their respective Appraiser.  The parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Appraisers to make their own determination as to the fair market value of the Assets within thirty (30) days after both Appraisers have been appointed (the “Appraisal Period”). 
(ii)    If there is a difference of three percent (3%) or less between the Appraisers’ respective determinations of the fair market value of the Assets, then the fair market value shall be the average of the two (2) appraisals.
(iii)    If the difference between the Appraisers’ respective determinations of the fair market value of the Assets is in excess of three percent (3%), then the two Appraisers shall promptly select a third Appraiser (for the avoidance of doubt, who satisfies the definition of “Appraiser”) who shall determine the fair market value of the Assets.  Immediately following receipt of the valuation from the third Appraiser, the average of all three values shall be calculated and the Appraiser’s valuation that is furthest from said average shall be discarded from the calculation process, and the average of the remaining value determinations shall be deemed the fair market value for the purposes hereof; provided, however, that if the difference among all three appraisals is identical in terms of value, then such fair market value shall be the average of such three appraisals. 
(iv)    If either party fails to appoint its Appraiser within ten (10) days of the expiration of the Value Negotiation Period (or, in the event that a reasonable objection is made to a party’s chosen Appraiser pursuant to clause (d)(i), such party does not select an alternative Appraiser within 10 days), the determination of value made by the Appraiser selected by the other party within such period shall be used to determine the fair market value of the Assets.  If both parties fail to appoint 

-52-

their Appraisers within ten (10) days of the expiration of the Value Negotiation Period, then the Initiating Party’s Fair Market Value shall be deemed the fair market value.
(v)    In the event a third Appraiser is necessary, such Appraiser shall be chosen within ten (10) days after the comparison of the determination of value of the first two Appraisers.
(vi)    In each instance where two Appraisers select a third Appraiser, the first two Appraisers shall share with the third Appraiser all documents, research and other information acquired by them with respect to the Assets.  Furthermore, each of the Initiating Party and the Notice Recipient will instruct and cause their respective Appraiser to provide the third Appraiser with such information as is reasonably requested by such third Appraiser in connection with its analysis of the calculations, assumptions and conclusions drawn by the first two Appraisers, respectively. Additionally, the fees and expenses of the third Appraiser, if necessary, shall be paid equally by the Members.
(vii)    Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, in all cases, the determination of Fair Market Value shall be calculated to be as of the end of the month immediately preceding the month of the date of the Option Notice and shall take into account all assets and liabilities of the Company (including, without limitation, the Property Companies and the Assets) and existing contingent liabilities which have been reflected in the most recent financial statements of the Company or will most likely be reflected in the financial statements for the year in which the Option Price shall be paid.  Furthermore, the valuations shall be based upon an all-cash sale basis for the fee simple or ground leasehold, as applicable, interest of the Assets without reduction for any lien or encumbrance against the Assets. 
(viii)    If a party does not use reasonable efforts to cause its Appraiser to make its determination as to the fair market value of the Assets within the Appraisal Period pursuant to clause (d)(i) and as a result of such failure such Appraiser does not submit its determination of fair market value prior to the end of the Appraisal Period, then fair market value shall be deemed to be the fair market value submitted by the Appraiser which timely submitted its determination.  
(ix)    The determination of the Fair Market Value determined in accordance with the foregoing procedures shall be final and binding upon the parties, absent manifest error.
(e)    Closing.
(iv)    The parties shall work together in good faith to close the contemplated transaction (the “Option Closing”) during the Option Closing Period as defined below), but in no event earlier than the beginning of or later than the expiration of the Option Closing Period.  In the case of a Put Option pursuant to Section 3.8(a)(iii), the Option Closing shall occur simultaneously with the closing of the Qualified IPO and in the case of a Call Option, the Option Closing shall occur simultaneously with the closing of the spin-off.  The actual date of the Option Closing is hereinafter referred to as the “Option Closing Date”.  NS Managing Member shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to select or accelerate the Option Closing Date within the Option Closing Period and Chatham Managing Member acknowledges and agrees that it shall proceed with the Option Closing on the date so chosen by NS Managing Member, provided that NS Managing Member shall be required to give Chatham 

-53-

Managing Member no less than ten (10) days prior notice of the Option Closing Date.  In the event the Option Closing shall occur, such closing shall be on the terms set forth on Schedule F attached hereto. 
(v)    The “Option Closing Period” means:
		
	1)
	In the case of a Put Option pursuant to Section 3.8(a)(i) or (ii), the period commencing on the earliest of the date when (i) the Notice Recipient delivers a Value Acceptance Notice, (ii) the parties otherwise agree upon a fair market value, or (iii) the Appraisers determine fair market value in accordance with Section 3.8(d) (such date, the “FMV Determination Date”), and ending sixty (60) days thereafter.

		
	2)
	In the case of a Put Option pursuant to Section 3.8(a)(iii), the period commencing on the date when NS Managing Member makes a Qualified IPO Demand and ending one (1) year thereafter. 

		
	3)
	In the case of a Call Option, the period commencing on the FMV Determination Date and ending on the first anniversary of the date when NS Managing Member delivers the Call Notice.

(vi)    Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to the Option Closing Date, the Initiating Party may revoke its Option Notice by sending the Notice Recipient a revocation notice. Any such revocation notice shall have the effect of (i) making the revoked Option Notice void ab initio, and (ii) reviving the respective options (i.e., the Put Option or the Call Option, as the case may be) without, however, in anyway limiting or waiving any other rights any party may have either at law or in equity with respect to the Put Option, the Call Option, or otherwise.
(f)    Acknowledgement.  The Members acknowledge and agree the following with respect to the put/call process set forth in this Section 3.8: (i) concurrently with the delivery of the Option Notice under this Agreement, the Initiating Party shall be required to deliver an Option Notice under the Ink I LLC Agreement; (ii) in the event either Member fails to comply with any obligation under the put/call process set forth in Section 3.8 of the Ink I LLC Agreement, then such failure shall be deemed a default by such Member under this Section 3.8 (i.e., a Member shall not be permitted to consummate the put/call process contemplated by this Section 3.8 unless, concurrently therewith, it is consummating the put/call process contemplated by Section 3.8 of the Ink I LLC Agreement); and (iii) the put/call process contemplated by this Section 3.8 shall closing simultaneously with the put/call process contemplated by Section 3.8 of the Ink I LLC Agreement).
ARTICLE III.     
 
GENERAL GOVERNANCE
Section 3.1    Other Ventures.
(l)    It is expressly agreed that each Member, and any Affiliates, officers, directors, trustees, managers, stockholders, members, partners or employees of such Member, 

-54-

may engage in other business ventures of every nature and description, whether or not in competition with the Company, independently or with others, and neither the Company nor the other Members shall have any rights in and to any independent venture or activity or the income or profits derived therefrom; the pursuit of other ventures and activities by any such Person is hereby consented to by each Member and shall not be deemed wrongful or improper.

(n)    Notwithstanding the foregoing and without limiting Section 12.17, in the event that any Member receives an opportunity directly related to any Asset, such Member shall first offer such opportunity, to the extent relating to any Asset, to NS Managing Member and Chatham Managing Member on behalf of the Company.  If either NS Managing Member or Chatham Managing Member (i) declines on behalf of the Company to participate in such opportunity or (ii) is deemed to decline on behalf of the Company to participate in such opportunity as a result of a failure to approve participation by the Company within 10 Business Days of such offer, but either Chatham Managing Member or NS Managing Member, as applicable, as the non-presenting Member wishes to participate in such opportunity in its own capacity, Chatham Managing Member or NS Managing Member, as applicable and the presenting Member shall participate in such opportunity on such basis as they shall agree or, in the absence of such agreement, in proportion to their then equity percentages in the Company.  If the Company and each Member thereof rejects such opportunity, the presenting Member may exploit such opportunity in any manner it sees fit, provided that the presenting Member is not provided materially more favorable terms in the aggregate with respect to such opportunity than were presented to the Company, or the non-presenting Member in connection with their potential participation.

Costs of such audit and of the audited financial statements or any other reports prepared by such accountant, if and when requested by NS Managing Member, will be an expense borne by the Company.

Section 3.4    Affiliate Transactions.  
(i)    Neither the Company nor any Property Company shall enter into any agreement for the performance of any service or activity, or for the purchase of any item, with an Affiliate of a Member (other than the Hotel Management Agreements with Island Hospitality 

-56-

Management), without first receiving the prior written approval of the Members, which approval may be withheld in each such Member’s sole and absolute discretion; provided, that, from and after the occurrence of a Termination Event, the prior written approval of Chatham Managing Member shall no longer be required so long as any such arrangement is on an arms’ length basis.
(j)    Notwithstanding anything set forth in Section 3.2 or Section 3.6 hereof to the contrary, a Member, acting alone and on behalf of the Company and any then existing Property Companies, may enforce and make all decisions under or in connection with agreements between the Company or any Property Company, on the one hand, and the other Member and/or its Affiliates, on the other hand, provided that for purposes of this Section 4.4(b), Island Hospitality Management shall be considered an Affiliate of Chatham Managing Member.
ARTICLE IV.     
 
TRANSFERS OF INTERESTS
Section 4.1    Restrictions on Transfer.  
(i)    No Transfer shall be made by either Chatham Managing Member or NS Managing Member with respect to all or any portion of its Interest without the prior written approval of the non-Transferring Member unless such Transfer is (i) pursuant to Section 3.7 of this Agreement, (ii) pursuant to Section 3.8 of this Agreement or (iii) a Permitted Transfer.  No Member will have the ability to directly or indirectly syndicate its Interest to unaffiliated co-investors.
(j)    The Company, each Member, the Managing Member, the Officers and any other Person or Persons having business with the Company need only deal with Members who are admitted as Members or as additional or substitute Members of the Company, and they shall not be required to deal with any other Person by reason of a Transfer by a Member.  In the absence of a transferee of a transferring Member’s Percentage Interest being admitted as a Member as provided herein, any payment to a Member shall release the Company and the Members of all liability to any other Persons who may be interested in such payment by reason of an assignment by such Member.
(k)    Each transferee, as a condition to its admission as a Member, shall execute and deliver to the Company such instruments (including a counterpart of this Agreement), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Managing Member, as the Managing Member shall reasonably deem necessary or desirable to confirm the agreement of such transferee to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement (as it may be amended in connection with the admission of such transferee as a Member).  The Members agree to amend this Agreement to the extent necessary to reflect the Transfer and admission of the new Member and to continue the Company without dissolution.  Upon execution of such instruments, the transferee shall be admitted to the Company as a Member.  Immediately following the admission of the transferee to the Company as a Member, any Person who has thereby transferred all of its ownership interest in the Company shall cease to be a Member of the Company.  Except as set forth herein, any transferee who is admitted to the Company as a 

-57-

Member shall succeed to the rights and powers, and be subject to the restrictions and liabilities, of the transferor Member to the extent of the Percentage Interest transferred. 
(l)    In the event that the Members determine to sell all but not less than all of their Percentage Interest in the Company (including pursuant to Section 3.7 and Section 3.8 hereof), the Tax Matters Member will propose a schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”) to the Members of the Company allocating the expected purchase price in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code.  Upon the affirmative vote of each of the Members of the Company (or, from and after the occurrence of a Termination Event, NS Managing Member), such proposed allocation will be the Allocation Schedule that will be proposed by the Members in connection with the potential sale and, if no objection is made to such Allocation Schedule by the third party purchaser of the Percentage Interests, will be final and binding in connection with such sale upon the Members.

If there is more than one Promote Payment Loan to Chatham Managing Member during the term hereof, the oldest Promote Payment Loan shall be repaid in full first, with any subsequent Promote Payment Loans being repaid in the order same were advanced.

(including any such brought by or in the right of the Company) suffered or incurred by such Indemnified Person while serving in such capacity or that otherwise in any way relate to or arise out of any action or inaction by such Indemnified Person or the Company (collectively, “Indemnifiable Losses”), if such Indemnified Person acted in good faith and in a manner that such Indemnified Person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and not in violation of this Agreement or outside the scope of such Person’s authority, and, with respect to a criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such Person’s conduct was unlawful; provided, that the Company shall have no obligation to indemnify or defend hereunder to the extent such action, suit or proceeding arises from fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such Indemnified Person.
Section 10.2    Exculpation.  No Indemnified Person shall be liable to any Member of the Company for any act or failure to act on behalf of the Company, unless such act or failure to act resulted from fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Indemnified Person.  Each Indemnified Person may consult with legal counsel and accountants in respect of the Company’s affairs and shall be fully protected and justified in any action or inaction which is taken in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel or accountants. 
Section 10.3    Expenses.  Any indemnification under Section 11.1, as well as the advance payment of expenses permitted under Section 11.4 shall be made by the Company to the fullest extent permitted under the Act.

Section 10.6    Indemnification Procedure for Third Party and Other Claims.  The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnified Person seeking such indemnification hereunder promptly but in any event no later than 30 days after receipt of  written notice from the Indemnified Person of the commencement of or assertion of any claim, action, suit or proceeding by a third party in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder (a “Third Party Claim”), to assume the defense and control the settlement of such Third Party Claim that (a) involves (and continues to involve) solely money damages or (b) involves (and continues to involve) claims for both money damages and equitable relief against the Indemnified Party that cannot be severed, where the claims for money damages are the primary claims asserted by the third party and the claims for equitable relief are incidental to the claims for money damages.  The Indemnified Person shall have the right to assume the defense and control the settlement of any Third Party Claim (i) not described in clauses (a) or (b) of the preceding sentence or (ii) described in clauses (a) or (b) of the preceding sentence whose defense and control of settlement has not been promptly assumed by the Company.  The Company or the Indemnified Person, as the case may be, shall have the right to participate in (but not control), at its own expense, the defense of any Third Party Claim that the other is defending, as provided in this Agreement.  The Company, if it has assumed the defense of any Third Party Claim as provided in this Agreement, shall not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third Party Claim without the Indemnified Person’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).  The Company shall not, without the Indemnified Person’s prior written consent, enter into any compromise or settlement which (A) commits the Indemnified Person to take, or to forbear to take, any action or (B) does not provide for a complete release by such Third Party of the Indemnified Person.  The Indemnified Person shall have the sole and exclusive right to settle any Third Party Claim, on such terms and conditions as it deems reasonably appropriate, to the extent such Third Party Claim involves equitable or other non-monetary relief against the Indemnified Person, and shall have the right to settle any Third Party Claim involving money damages for which the Company has not assumed the defense pursuant to this Section 11.6 with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.   
Section 10.7    Other Claims.  In the event an Indemnified Person shall claim a right to payment pursuant to this Agreement for other than a Third Party Claim, such Indemnified Person shall send written notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party.  Such notice shall specify the basis for such claim.  As promptly as possible after the Indemnified Person has given such notice, the Indemnified Person and the Company shall attempt to resolve such claim by mutual agreement before resorting to other legal means to resolve such claim.  

-75-

Section 10.8    Limitation on Damages.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no party shall be liable to the other party for any indirect, special, punitive, exemplary or consequential loss or damage (including any loss of revenue or profit) arising out of this Agreement including, without limitation, in respect of any breach by any Member of this Agreement; provided, that the foregoing shall not be construed to preclude recovery by the Indemnified Person in respect of Indemnifiable Losses directly incurred from Third Party Claims.  Any Indemnified Person shall take commercially reasonable actions to mitigate his, her, its or their damages.  The obligation of the Company to indemnify any Indemnified Person with respect to any Indemnifiable Losses hereunder resulting from any action, suit or proceeding shall not exceed the value of the Business and the Assets.
Section 10.9    Indemnification Under Purchase Agreement.  Chatham Managing Member shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company, any Property Company, NS Managing Member and the direct and indirect directors, officers, members, managers, principals, investors, partners, agents, successors and permitted assigns of NS Managing Member (each a “NS Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, actions, judgments, court costs and legal or other expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other professional fees and costs) which such NS Indemnified Party incurs as a result of any claims made against a NS Indemnified Party in connection with any obligation or liability under the PSA to the extent relating to the Specified Hotels, the Specified Hotel Interests, or the Specified Hotel Transaction (as such terms are defined in the Purchase and Sale Agreement) and all matters to the extent relating thereto (including, without limitation, post-closing obligations and liabilities and prorations and other adjustments to be made under the Purchase and Sale Agreement to the extent relating thereto).  In the event any amounts are received by Chatham Managing Member, NS Managing Member, or any of their respective Affiliates that relate solely to the Principal Transaction, such Member shall (or shall cause its applicable Affiliate to) promptly remit such amounts to the Company.  The Company shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Chatham Managing Member and the direct and indirect directors, officers, members, managers, principals, investors, partners, agents, successors and permitted assigns of Chatham Managing Member (each a “Chatham Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, actions, judgments, court costs and legal or other expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other professional fees and costs) which such Chatham Indemnified Party incurs as a result of any claims made against a Chatham Indemnified Party in connection with any obligation or liability under the PSA to the extent relating to the Principal Transaction (as defined in the Purchase and Sale Agreement) and all matters to the extent relating thereto (including, without limitation, post-closing obligations and liabilities and prorations and other adjustments to be made under the Purchase and Sale Agreement to the extent relating thereto).  In the event any amounts are received 

-76-

by the Company or NS Managing Member or any of their respective Affiliates that relate solely to the Specified Hotels, the Specified Hotel Interests or the Specified Hotel Transaction, the Company or NS Managing Member shall (or shall cause its applicable Affiliate to), as applicable, promptly remit such amounts to Chatham Managing Member.  The amount that may be recovered from the Sellers under the Purchase and Sale Agreement pursuant thereto with respect to the Specified Hotels, the Specified Hotel Interests or the Specified Hotel Transaction shall not exceed $7,770,000.00 without the consent of NS Managing Member.  The amount that may be recovered from the Sellers under the Purchase and Sale Agreement pursuant thereto with respect to the Principal Transaction shall not exceed $22,230,000.00 without the consent of Chatham Managing Member.

At the Option Closing, Chatham Managing Member shall deliver to NS Managing Member: (i) evidence reasonably satisfactory to NS Managing Member of the due corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other authority of Chatham Managing Member to convey its interest to NS Managing Member and (ii) a certificate containing representations and warranties of Chatham Managing Member regarding (1) the due authorization, execution and delivery of the closing documents, (2) due formation, valid existence and good standing in all applicable jurisdictions, (3) the enforceability of the closing documents being signed by Chatham Managing Member (except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditor’s rights generally or by general equitable principles), (4) that all material consents and approvals necessary to be obtained with respect to the transaction in respect only of Chatham Managing Member have been obtained, (5) that Chatham Managing Member has not dealt with any brokers, finders or similar parties in connection with the sale that could entitle any such party to claim a commission, fee or other compensation in connection therewith (or, if there are any such brokers, finders or similar parties, that same have been paid in full concurrently with the Option Closing) and (6) that there are no liens or encumbrances affecting the membership interests of Chatham Managing Member (other than liens being discharged concurrently with the Option Closing).  The representations and warranties contained in such certificate shall survive the Option Closing for a period of twelve (12) months.

similar parties, that same have been paid in full concurrently with the Option Closing).  The representations and warranties contained in such certificate shall survive the Option Closing for a period of twelve (12) months.

F.6.        Any transfer tax, recording tax or similar taxes arising out of or in connection with the sale and transfer of the membership interest of Chatham Managing Member in the Company shall be paid pursuant to the custom of the jurisdiction in which the Assets are located (e.g., if the Assets are located in a state which assesses a transfer tax in connection with the Option Closing and such tax would be paid by the seller if the Assets had been sold, then Chatham Managing Member shall pay such transfer tax).

F.7.        Subject to Section 11 below, such sale shall be subject to all liabilities and obligations of the Company, matured or unmatured, absolute or contingent.

F.8.        At the Option Closing, the Members shall execute or cause to be executed any and all documents (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to each of the Members) reasonably required to fully transfer good and valid title to the membership interest of Chatham Managing Member in the Company to NS Managing Member.

F.9.    If the Notice Recipient shall fail to consummate the Option Closing on the Option Closing Date for any reason other than the default of the Initiating Party, then the Initiating Party shall be entitled to all of its remedies at law or in equity, including, without limitation the right of specific performance, in which event the Initiating Party shall be entitled to receive all costs, expenses and damages (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Initiating Party in obtaining such specific performance.  If either party shall fail to consummate the Option Closing on the Option Closing Date for any reason other than the default of the other party, then (i) the non-defaulting party shall be entitled to all of its remedies at law or in equity (other than the right of compel the Option Closing to occur, except as provided in the preceding sentence), including without limitation the right to terminate the Option Closing, in which event the defaulting party shall reimburse the non-defaulting party for all of its costs, expenses and damages (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the put/call transaction and (ii) if Chatham Managing Member is the defaulting party with respect to a put transaction, then  Chatham Managing Member shall forfeit its right to deliver another Put Notice pursuant to Section 3.8 with respect to the specific event that triggered Chatham Managing Member’s right to deliver such Put Notice (it being understood that Chatham Managing Member shall retain the right to deliver a Put Notice with respect to any other event, including a subsequent occurrence of the same type of event). 

F.10.     Upon request made by NS Managing Member, Chatham Managing Member will, at no cost or expense to Chatham Managing Member, cooperate with NS Managing Member so that the option transaction is structured as a sale of all of the Option Interests to a third party purchaser that is designated by NS Managing Member, provided that such cooperation shall not release NS Managing Member from its obligation to consummate the Option Closing, shall not delay the Option Closing Date, shall not decrease the amounts ultimately payable to Chatham Managing Member and shall not in Chatham Managing Member’s reasonable judgment expose Chatham Managing Member to any increased risk or liability (including, without limitation, income tax liability) in excess of that which it would have had in the event the transaction were structured as a purchase by the NS Managing Member of the Option Interests.

F.11.    In connection with the Option Closing, if (i) the consent of any Lender shall be required to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such Option Closing (to the extent such consent is required by the terms of the Loan Documents), or (ii) Chatham Managing Member (or any Affiliate or principal of Chatham Managing Member) is a party to a Carveout Guaranty, then NS Managing Member shall be required to deliver to Chatham Managing Member as a condition to Chatham Managing Member’s obligation to effect 

    

the Option Closing evidence of such consent (if clause (i) applies) and shall use good faith efforts to deliver to Chatham Managing Member a full and unconditional release from such Lender of all such liability other than any liability resulting directly from acts of Chatham Managing Member prior to the Option Closing Date (if clause (ii) applies), provided that in connection with clause (ii), if Lender refuses to grant such release to Chatham Managing Member then NS Managing Member shall be required as a condition to Chatham Managing Member’s obligation to effect the Option Closing to deliver to Chatham Managing Member a full and unconditional release from such Lender of all liability under a Carveout Guaranty arising for events first occurring after the Option Closing Date. In connection with the JPM Loan, the parties acknowledge and agree that NS Managing Member shall only be required to deliver to Chatham Managing Member a full and unconditional release of all liability under the Carveout Guaranty arising for events first occurring after the Option Closing Date (and not a release for all acts other than those arising from acts of Chatham Managing Member). If the Lender refuses to grant its consent at or before the Option Closing Date (if clause (i) applies) and the aforementioned release (if clause (ii) applies), then as a condition to the obligation of Chatham Managing Member to consummate the sale of its membership interests at the Option Closing (A) NS Managing Member shall be required to cause the Company (or Property Company) to prepay such indebtedness in full or defease the Loan at the Option Closing in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents (including the payment of any prepayment penalty, prepayment premium, costs of defeasance and/or breakage costs) and (B) if NS Managing Member does not take the actions required in subclause (A), then such failure shall be deemed a default by NS Managing Member. 

F.12.     NS Managing Member hereby indemnifies and holds harmless Chatham Managing Member from any liability, damage, cost or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in the enforcement of the foregoing indemnity) arising out of the Company, the Assets, this Agreement, and any guaranty or indemnity made by Chatham Managing Member (including, without limitation, an indemnity made to a title insurance company), to the extent that any such liability, damage, cost or expense is based on actions or events occurring on or after the Option Closing Date.  The foregoing indemnity will survive the Option Closing.

F.13.    If at the time of the Option Closing, there is a dispute between the parties in connection with the transaction, including, without limitation, a litigation, action or proceeding or an arbitration proceeding or a disagreement in the calculation of the Option Price or any related prorations or adjustments or any other calculation or computation arising out of the Option Closing (any such being referred to as an “Existing Option Dispute”), then the existence of such Existing Option Dispute shall not affect the consummation of the Option Closing, and the parties shall consummate the Option Closing as if the Existing Option Dispute did not exist, however, such Existing Option Dispute shall continue in effect on and after such Option Closing with the intent and purpose that the parties shall not prejudice their respective rights in respect of any such Existing Option Dispute.  In furtherance of the foregoing (x) if such Existing Option Dispute pertains to a dispute over money, then an amount equal to the sum of money in question shall be withheld from the proceeds to be distributed to Chatham Managing Member at the Option Closing and shall be maintained in escrow by a national escrow agent selected by NS Managing Member and reasonably acceptable to Chatham Managing Member after the Option Closing to permit the parties to continue the Existing Option Dispute and have such escrowed funds available to pay for any resolution thereof that requires Chatham Managing Member to pay over such funds to NS Managing Member or vice versa and (y) if such Existing Option Dispute pertains to a matter other than a specified sum of money, then if the Existing Option Dispute is not resolved by the Option Closing itself (i.e., the conveyance of Chatham Managing Member’s membership interest to NS Managing Member may cause the Existing Option Dispute to be rendered moot) the parties shall continue such dispute subsequent to the Option Closing Date.

BUY/SELL ESCROW PROVISIONS

1.    The Buy/Sell Escrow Agent shall deposit the Buy/Sell Deposit Funds in an interest bearing escrow account.

2.    If the Buy/Sell Closing takes place, the Buy/Sell Escrow Agent shall deliver the Buy/Sell Deposit Funds to, or upon the instructions of, the Selling Member(s) at the Buy/Sell Closing.

3.    If the Buy/Sell Closing does not take place pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, by reason of the failure of any party to comply with its obligations hereunder, the Buy/Sell Escrow Agent shall pay the Buy/Sell Deposit Funds to the party entitled thereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, provided, however, prior to paying the Buy/Sell Deposit Funds to any party (the “Claiming Party”) pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3, the Buy/Sell Escrow Agent shall deliver written notice to the other party (the “Non-Claiming Party”) stating its intention to pay the Buy/Sell Deposit Funds to the Claiming Party.  The Non-Claiming Party shall have a period of ten (10) days in which to deliver notice to the Buy/Sell Escrow Agent agreeing to payment of the Buy/Sell Deposit Funds to the Claiming Party or disagreeing with such payment.  If the Non-Claiming Party agrees that the Buy/Sell Deposit Funds shall be paid to the Claiming Party, then the Buy/Sell Escrow Agent shall so pay the Buy/Sell Deposit Funds to the Claiming Party.  If the Non-Claiming Party disagrees with such payment, then the Buy/Sell Escrow Agent shall not make such payment and shall continue to hold the Buy/Sell Deposit Funds and shall not make any disposition of the Buy/Sell Deposit Funds except as provided in Section 5 below.  The failure of the Non-Claiming Party to deliver such notice within the ten (10) day period shall be deemed delivery of a notice on the last day of such ten (10) day period agreeing to payment of the Buy/Sell Deposit Funds to the Claiming Party.

4.     It is agreed that:

(a)    The duties of the Buy/Sell Escrow Agent are only as herein specifically provided and are purely ministerial in nature, and the Buy/Sell Escrow Agent shall incur no liability whatever except for willful misconduct or gross negligence, as long as the Buy/Sell Escrow Agent has acted in good faith;

(b)    The Buy/Sell Escrow Agent shall not be liable or responsible for the collection of the proceeds of any check or wire transfer constituting all or a portion of the Buy/Sell Deposit Funds;

(c)    In the performance of its duties hereunder, the Buy/Sell Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any document, instrument or signature believed by it to be genuine and signed by either of the other parties or their successors;

(d)    The Buy/Sell Escrow Agent may assume that any person purporting to give any notice of instructions in accordance with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so;

(e)    The Buy/Sell Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any modification, cancellation or rescission of these escrow provisions unless in writing and signed by it, the selling parties and the purchasing parties;

(f)    The selling parties and the purchasing parties shall jointly and severally reimburse and indemnify the Buy/Sell Escrow Agent for, and hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability, cost or expense in connection herewith, including reasonable legal fees and disbursements, incurred without willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Buy/Sell Escrow Agent arising out of or in connection with its acceptance 

    

of, or the performance of its duties and obligations under these escrow provisions, as well as the reasonable costs and expenses of defending against any claim or liability arising out of or relating to these Escrow Provisions; and

(g)    The Manager and the Members each hereby release the Buy/Sell Escrow Agent from any act done or omitted to be done by the Buy/Sell Escrow Agent in good faith in the performance of its duties hereunder.

5.    The Buy/Sell Escrow Agent is acting as a stake-holder only with respect to the Buy/Sell Deposit Funds.  If there is any dispute as to whether the Buy/Sell Escrow Agent is obligated to deliver all or any portion of the Buy/Sell Deposit Funds or as to whom the proceeds of the Buy/Sell Deposit Funds are to be delivered, the Buy/Sell Escrow Agent shall not be required to make any delivery, but in such event the Buy/Sell Escrow Agent shall hold the Buy/Sell Deposit Funds (together with all interest thereon, if any) until receipt by the Buy/Sell Escrow Agent of an authorization in writing, signed by all of the parties having any interest in such dispute, directing the disposition of the Buy/Sell Deposit Funds (together with all interest thereon, if any), or, in the absence of such authorization, the Buy/Sell Escrow Agent shall hold the Buy/Sell Deposit Funds (together with all interest thereon, if any), until the final determination of the rights of the parties in an appropriate proceeding.  If such written authorization is not given, or proceedings for such determination are not begun within ninety (90) days after the date the Buy/Sell Escrow Agent shall have received written notice of such dispute, and thereafter diligently continued, the Buy/Sell Escrow Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring an appropriate action or proceeding for leave to deposit the Buy/Sell Deposit Funds (together with all interest thereon, if any), in court pending such determination.  The Buy/Sell Escrow Agent shall be reimbursed for all costs and expenses of such action or proceeding including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, by the party determined not to be entitled to the Buy/Sell Deposit Funds or if the Buy/Sell Deposit Funds is split between the parties hereto, such costs of the Buy/Sell Escrow Agent shall be split, pro rata, between the selling parties and the purchasing parties, upon the amount of Buy/Sell Deposit Funds received by each.  Upon making delivery of the Buy/Sell Deposit Funds (together with interest thereon, if any), in the manner provided in this Agreement, the Buy/Sell Escrow Agent shall have no further liability hereunder.

6.    The Buy/Sell escrow agent will be required to execute a counterpart of these escrow provisions solely to confirm that the buy/sell escrow agent upon receipt thereof, will hold the Buy/Sell deposit funds in escrow, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

Pending appointment of the arbitrator, nothing provided herein shall preclude either of the parties from seeking the issuance of a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other provisional remedy in order to avoid any irreparable injury that it might suffer pending such appointment.
(g)    Arbitrator’s Award:  The arbitrator shall render his or her award within ten (10) days of the close of the final submission of the matter, or at such later time as agreed upon by the parties. The arbitrator’s award shall be in writing, and the arbitrator shall make findings of fact and conclusions of law that set forth the reasons for the award.  The award may be confirmed by any court having jurisdiction over the parties. 
(h)    Arbitrator’s Fees and Costs:  Each party shall provide, within three (3) days of a request from the arbitrator or any person or service that may be acting as the administrator of the arbitration, one-half of the estimated fees and costs relating to the arbitration, although the arbitrator shall, in his or her award,  assess such fees and costs against the party determined not to be the prevailing party in the Expedited Arbitration.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the party not prevailing in the Expedited Arbitration shall pay all of the reasonable fees and costs relating to the arbitration, including the prevailing party’s reasonable, actual, out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses.
(i)    No Other Claims.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Schedule K shall apply only in connection with an Expedited Arbitration pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(iii) and Section 3.2(i) of the Agreement, and not any other dispute, and no other claims or counterclaims may be brought in such Expedited Arbitration.

(b)    Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the Permitted Par Prepayment Date, and on any Business Day thereafter through the date the Debt is paid in full, Borrower may, at its option, prepay the Debt in full (but not in part) without payment of any Yield Maintenance Premium or other premium; provided, however, if for any reason such prepayment is not paid on a regularly scheduled Payment Date, the Debt shall include interest for the full Accrual Period during which the prepayment occurs. Borrower’s right to prepay the principal balance of the Loan in full pursuant to this subsection shall be subject to (i) Borrower’s submission of a notice to Lender setting forth the projected date of prepayment, which date shall be no less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of such notice, and (ii) subject to Section 2.4.1(d) hereof, Borrower’s actual payment to Lender of the full amount of the Debt, including interest for the full Accrual Period during which the prepayment occurs. 
(c)    Borrower may prepay a portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan from time to time in an amount necessary to cause the Debt Yield to equal or exceed the Debt Yield required to (i) effect a Debt Yield Cure (each such Debt Yield, the “Required Trigger Cure Debt Yield”, and each such prepayment, a “Debt Yield Cure Payment”), 

USActive 30748472.10    -40-

provided, that no other Cash Sweep Event is then continuing, and (ii) satisfy the condition set forth in Section 6.4(b)(i)(J) in connection with a Restoration, and further provided that, in each case, Borrower pays to Lender, in addition to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan to be prepaid (A) all interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of the Loan to be prepaid through and including the last day of the Accrual Period during which such prepayment is made or, if such prepayment occurs on a Payment Date, through and including the last calendar day of the Accrual Period prior to such Payment Date (for the avoidance of doubt, if such prepayment is made on a day other than a Payment Date, then in connection with such prepayment Borrower shall pay to Lender, simultaneously with such prepayment, all interest on the principal balance of the Note then being prepaid which would have accrued through the end of the Accrual Period then in effect notwithstanding that such Accrual Period extends beyond the date of such prepayment); (B) all other sums due and payable under this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents, without duplication of any sums paid pursuant to the preceding clause (A), and all actual reasonable out-of-pocket costs and administrative expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with such prepayment; and (C) if such prepayment is made prior to the Permitted Par Prepayment Date, the applicable Yield Maintenance Premium.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the payment of a Debt Yield Cure Payment in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement which shall cause the Debt Yield to equal or exceed the Required Trigger Cure Debt Yield shall constitute an immediate Debt Yield Cure.  For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to achieve the Debt Yield necessary to (i) effect a Debt Yield Cure  or (ii) satisfy the condition set forth in Section 6.4(b)(i)(J) in connection with a Restoration shall not in and of itself constitute a Default hereunder.
(d)    If a notice of prepayment is given by Borrower to Lender pursuant to Section 2.4.1(c), Section 2.4.1(c) or Section 2.4.6, as applicable the amount designated for prepayment and all other sums required under Section 2.4.1(c), or Section 2.4.6, as applicable shall be due and payable on the proposed prepayment date unless such prepayment is revoked or modified by written notice given by Borrower to Lender not less than one (1) Business Day prior to such specified prepayment date, provided that Borrower shall pay all of Lender’s reasonable actual out-of-pocket costs and administrative expenses incurred in connection with such revocation or modification, within ten (10) days of Lender’s demand therefor.
(e)    If following any Casualty or Condemnation, the Net Proceeds are not required to be made available to Borrower for a Restoration of the Property pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof, and in addition to any other rights granted to Borrower hereunder, Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loan in whole but not in part in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.4.1(c) hereof to obtain the release of the Property from the Lien of the Mortgage thereon and related Loan Documents in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof, provided, however, that no Yield Maintenance Premium shall be due in connection with any such prepayment.

USActive 30748472.10    -41-

2.4.2    Mandatory Prepayments.  On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Lender actually receives any Net Proceeds, if and to the extent Lender is not obligated to and does not make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for the Restoration of the Property or otherwise remit such Net Proceeds to Borrower pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof, Borrower shall authorize Lender to retain and apply such Net Proceeds as a prepayment of all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan together with accrued interest and any other sums due hereunder in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds; provided, however, that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may apply such Net Proceeds to the Debt (until paid in full) in any order or priority in its sole discretion.  No Yield Maintenance Premium or other premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2.  Any prepayment received by Lender pursuant to this Section 2.4.2 on a date other than a Payment Date shall be held by Lender as collateral security for the Loan (and if held in an interest bearing account, with such interest accruing to the benefit of Borrower) and shall be applied by Lender on the next Payment Date.
2.4.3    Prepayments After Default.  If, following an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower or otherwise recovered by Lender (including, without limitation, through application of any Reserve Funds), such tender or recovery shall (a) include interest at the Default Rate on the outstanding principal amount of the Loan through the last calendar day of the Accrual Period within which such tender or recovery occurs and (b) be deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower and Borrower shall pay, together with the remainder of the Debt, an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium which can be applied by Lender in such order and priority as Lender shall determine in is sole and absolute discretion.
2.4.4    [Reserved].  
2.4.5    Application of Prepayments.  All prepayments received pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be applied first, to interest on the outstanding principal balance being prepaid that accrued through and including the last day of the applicable Accrual Period, and then, to the payments of outstanding principal due under the Loan.
2.4.6    Prepayment Prior to Permitted Defeasance Date.  If the Permitted Release Date has occurred but the Permitted Defeasance Date has not occurred, and provided no Event of Default exists, the Debt may be prepaid in whole (but not in part) prior to the Permitted Defeasance Date upon not less than fifteen (15) Business Days’ prior written notice to Lender specifying the projected date of prepayment and, if such prepayment is made prior to the Permitted Par Prepayment Date, upon payment of an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium.  Lender shall notify Borrower of the amount and the basis of determination of the required prepayment consideration.  If any notice of prepayment is given, the Debt shall be due and payable on the projected date of prepayment.  Lender shall not be obligated to accept any prepayment of the Debt unless it is accompanied by the prepayment consideration due in connection therewith.  If for any reason Borrower prepays the Loan on a date other than a Payment Date, Borrower shall pay Lender, in addition to the Debt, interest for the full Accrual Period during which the prepayment occurs.

Section 2.5    Release of Property.  Except as set forth in Section 2.9 and this Section 2.5, no repayment or prepayment of all or any portion of the Loan shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of any Lien of any Mortgage on the Property.

(b)    In connection with the release of the Mortgage pursuant to a defeasance, Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Defeasance Date, a release of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for the Property for execution by Lender.  Such release shall be in a form appropriate in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located and that would be satisfactory to a prudent lender and contains standard provisions, if any, protecting the rights of the releasing lender.  In addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation Lender reasonably requires to be delivered by Borrower in connection with such release, together with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such documentation (i) is in compliance with all Legal Requirements, and (ii) will effect such releases in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

USActive 30748472.10    -46-

withholding of any Section 2.7 Tax from any such payment by the Borrower, then the Borrower shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Section 2.7 Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.7) the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(f)    Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower.  The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any Other Taxes.

In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will enable the Borrower to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.7(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Section 2.7 Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.7 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.7), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Section 2.7 Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Section 2.7 Taxes) of such indemnified party with respect to such refund and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an 

USActive 30748472.10    -49-

indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Section 2.7 Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Section 2.7 Tax had never been paid.  This paragraph (f) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Section 2.7 Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(k)    Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.7 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Each of the U.S. Obligations that are part of the defeasance collateral shall be duly endorsed by the holder thereof as directed by Lender or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form and substance that would be reasonably satisfactory to a prudent lender (including, without limitation, such instruments as may be required by the depository institution holding such securities or by the issuer thereof, as the case may be, to effectuate book‐entry transfers and pledges through the book‐entry facilities of such institution) in order to perfect upon the delivery of the defeasance collateral a first-priority security interest therein in favor of Lender in conformity with all applicable state and federal laws governing the granting of such security interests.
2.9.3    Successor Borrower.  In connection with any Defeasance Event, Borrower shall establish or designate a successor entity (the “Successor Borrower”) acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion, which shall be a Special Purpose Entity, which shall not own any other assets or have any other liabilities or operate other property (except in connection with other defeased loans held in the same securitized loan pool with the Loan).

ARTICLE IV     – REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Section 4.1    Borrower Representations.  Each of Borrower and Operating Lessee, solely as to itself and to the Property, represents and warrants, as of the date hereof that:
4.1.6    Organization.  It is duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing in the jurisdiction in which it is organized, with requisite power and authority (i) to, in the case of Borrower, own the Property or, in the case of Operating Lessee, to operate and lease the Property and (ii) to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged, and is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where it is required by law to be so qualified in connection with the Property, its businesses and operations.  Borrower possesses all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to entitle it to own or lease the Property and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged.  The sole business of Borrower is the ownership, leasing, management and operation of the Property.  The ownership interests in each Loan Party are set forth on the organizational chart attached hereto as Schedule V.
4.1.7    Proceedings.  It has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party.  This Agreement and such other Loan Documents to which it is a party have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of Borrower or Operating Lessee, as applicable, and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower and Operating Lessee, as applicable, enforceable against Borrower and Operating Lessee, as applicable, in accordance with their respective terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
4.1.8    No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien, charge or encumbrance (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property or assets of such Loan Party pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement, management agreement, Franchise Agreement or other agreement or instrument to which such Loan Party is a party or by which any of its property or assets is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having 

USActive 30748472.10    -53-

jurisdiction over such Loan Party or the Property or any of such Loan Party’s other assets, or any license or other approval required to operate the Property, and any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by such Loan Party of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents to which it is a party have been obtained and is in full force and effect.
4.1.9    Litigation.  There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending or, to the Actual Knowledge of Borrower or Operating Lessee, threatened against or affecting Borrower or Operating Lessee or the Property, which actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against Borrower or Operating Lessee or the Property, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.1.10    Agreements.  Neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee is in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions on its part to be observed or performed in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which Borrower, Operating Lessee or the Property is bound.  Neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee has any material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower or Operating Lessee is a party or by which Borrower or Operating Lessee or the Property is otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Property as permitted pursuant to clause (xxiii) of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof and (b) obligations under the Loan Documents, and (c) obligations under the Permitted Encumbrances.
4.1.11    Title.  Borrower has good, marketable and insurable fee simple title to the real property comprising part of the Property and good title to the balance of the Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents.  The Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not have a Material Adverse Effect.  The Mortgage, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on the Property and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents.  There are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Property which are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents.
4.1.12    Solvency.  Each Loan Party  has (a) not entered into this transaction or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents to which it is a party with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents.  Giving effect to the Loan and the applicable Loan Documents, the fair saleable value of each Loan Party’s respective assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed each Loan Party’s respective total 

USActive 30748472.10    -54-

liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities.  The fair saleable value of each Loan Party’s respective assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan and the entering into of the applicable Loan Documents, be greater than each Loan Party’s respective probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its respective contingent liabilities on its respective debts as such debts become absolute and matured.  Each Loan Party’s respective assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan and the entering into of the applicable Loan Documents will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its respective business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted.  No Loan Party intends to, and does not believe that it will, incur debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its respective ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by it and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of its obligations).  Except for the Bankruptcy Proceeding, (i) no petition under the Bankruptcy Code or similar state bankruptcy or insolvency law has been filed against Borrower or Operating Lessee or any of the constituent equity owners of Borrower or Operating Lessee (such constituent equity owners (excluding any person that owns indirect interests in Borrower, provided such interests consist solely of shares or units in Borrower or Operating Lessee (or other applicable Restricted Party) that are listed on the New York Stock Exchange or another nationally recognized stock exchange) respectively, the “Constituent Members”) in the last seven (7) years, and (ii) neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee nor any of their respective Constituent Members has in the last seven (7) years made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors.  Neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee nor any of their respective Constituent Members are 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 or Operating Lessee’s assets or property, as applicable, and none of Borrower or Operating Lessee has any Actual Knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or any of its Constituent Members.
4.1.13    Full and Accurate Disclosure.  To each Loan Party’s Actual Knowledge, no statement of fact made by any Loan Party 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 in light of the circumstances in which such statements were made.  There is no material fact presently known to any Loan Party which has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects, nor as far as any Loan Party can foresee, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.1.14    No Plan Assets.  No Loan Party is a sponsor of, is obligated to contribute to, or is itself an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and none of the assets of any Loan Party constitute or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101.  In addition, (a) no Loan Party is a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and (b) transactions by or with any Loan Party are not subject to any state or other statute, regulation or other restriction regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA which is similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and which prohibit or otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including but not

Neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee is in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority.  There has not been committed by Borrower or Operating Lessee or, to the Actual Knowledge of Borrower and Operating Lessee, Manager, any act or omission affording the federal government or any other Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against the Property or any part thereof, or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents.  To the Actual Knowledge of Borrower and Operating Lessee, there has not been committed by Manager or any other Person involved with the operation or management of the Property any act or omission affording the federal government or any other Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against the Property it owns or leases, or any part thereof, or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents.

No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose which would be inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other Regulations of such Board of Governors, or

4.1.23    Enforceability.  The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by any Loan Party or Guarantor, as applicable, including the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Loan Documents unenforceable (subject to principles of equity and bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and the enforcement of debtors’ obligations), and no Loan Party or Guarantor has asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.
4.1.24    No Prior Assignment.

In the event that Lender timely disapproves a proposed Annual Budget in accordance with the foregoing, Borrower shall promptly revise such Annual Budget and resubmit the same to Lender (and each such resubmittal shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 5.1.11(d) as if the applicable proposed Annual Budget were being submitted to Lender for its initial review of the same). Until such time that Lender approves (or is deemed to have approved in accordance with the terms hereunder) a proposed Annual Budget, the most recently Approved Annual Budget shall apply; provided that, such Approved Annual Budget shall

commercially reasonable terms and shall not contain any terms which would have a Material Adverse Effect.  All Leases executed after the date hereof shall provide that they are subordinate to the Mortgage and that the lessee agrees to attorn to Lender or any purchaser at a sale by foreclosure or power of sale; provided that Lender agrees that it shall, at the request of Operating Lessee, enter into a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement with the Tenant under any Major Lease, in form and substance satisfactory Lender, Operating Lessee and such Tenant.

IMMEDIATE RESPONSE REQUIRED, FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS APPROVAL REQUEST WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS FROM RECEIPT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE LENDER’S APPROVAL”.  In the event that Lender fails to respond to such second notice, such failure shall be deemed to be the consent and approval of Lender of such request. Upon Lender’s request, Operating Lessee shall be required to provide Lender with such material information and documentation as may be reasonably required by Lender, in its reasonable discretion, including, 

USActive 30748472.10    -75-

For purposes of clarification, Lender request for any material information regarding a proposed Lease or the tenant thereunder from Operating Lessee, in addition to approving or denying any request (in whole or in part), shall be deemed a response by Lender for purposes of the foregoing.
(c)    If pursuant to the terms of an Operating Lease which is in full force and effect with respect to the Property, Operating Lessee (and not the Borrower that owns the Property) shall be the sole party entitled to enter into Leases with Tenants for all or any portion of the Property, then the Borrower that owns the Property shall cause Operating Lessee to comply with the terms of this Section 5.1.20 with respect to the Property.  In the event that an Operating Lease is not in effect with respect to the Property, then Borrower shall be the sole party entitled to lease all or any portion of the Property and in doing so shall comply with all obligations of Operating Lessee under this Section 5.1.20 with respect to the Property.

If the total unpaid amounts due and payable with respect to alterations to the Improvements (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by Tenants under the Leases and amounts to be disbursed from the Replacement Reserve Account or the CapEx Reserve Account, as applicable, in accordance with the applicable provisions of Article VII hereof) shall at any time exceed Two Million and 00/100 Dollars ($2,000,000) (the “Threshold Amount”), then Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender as security for the payment of such amounts and as additional security for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents any of the following:  (A) Cash, (B) U.S. Obligations, (C) other securities having a rating reasonably acceptable to Lender and, if a Securitization has occurred, a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such securities or (D) a Letter of Credit.  Such security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts with respect to alterations to the Improvements (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by Tenants under the Leases and amounts for which sufficient reserves are on deposit in the Replacement Reserve Account or the CapEx Reserve Account, as applicable, in accordance with the applicable provisions of Article VII hereof) over the Threshold Amount and may be applied from time to time at the option of Lender to pay for such alterations.

(ii)    Borrower shall deposit either cash or a Letter of Credit in the amount of $3,123,013.51 (“Operations Security”) as security for any Shortfalls which may be incurred with respect to the Property during the continuance of the Expansion Alterations, and as additional security for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents, which Expansion Operations Security shall be disbursed and applied in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 5.1.21(d) below; and
(iii)    Lender shall have determined in its sole, reasonable discretion that the Expansion Alterations once completed would not have a Material Adverse Effect (other than during a construction period); provided, however, the Expansion Alterations shall be deemed not to have such a material adverse effect, and neither Lender’s nor any Rating Agency Confirmation shall be required with respect to the Expansion Alterations (subject to satisfaction of the other conditions set forth in this Section 5.1.21(b)), in the event that the Expansion Alterations (1) do not impact more than 16 rooms at the Property (Silicon Valley 2), (2) are fully completed on a Lien-free basis within five (5) years from the Closing Date, (3) are performed in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements, (4) upon completion, will be consistent with similar hotels located in the same metropolitan region as the Property, and (5) upon completion, will result in the amendment of the Franchise Agreement to extend the term thereof until the earlier of (x) the twentieth (20th) anniversary of such amendment or (y) June 30, 2036.

Each request for release shall include copies of invoices for all items or materials purchased and all contracted labor or services provided and, unless Lender has agreed to issue joint checks as described below in connection with a particular Expansion Alteration, each request shall include evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of payment of all prior invoices submitted to Lender in connection with a prior release by Lender for such Expansion Alterations.  Borrower shall provide Lender evidence of completion of the subject Expansion Alteration satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable judgment; 
(iii)    Borrower shall pay all invoices in connection with the Expansion Alteration with respect to which a release is requested prior to submitting such request for release from the Completion Security or, at the request of Borrower, Lender will issue joint checks, payable to Borrower and the contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic, subcontractor or other party to whom payment is due in connection with an Expansion Alteration.  In the case of payments made by joint check, Lender may require a waiver of lien from each Person receiving payment prior to Lender’s release of the Completion Security.  In addition, as a condition to any release, Lender may require Borrower to obtain lien waivers from each contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor who receives payment in an amount equal to or greater than $25,000.00 for completion of its work or delivery of its materials.  Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to the requirements of applicable law and shall cover all work performed and materials supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for the Property by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by the current reimbursement request (or, in the event that payment to such contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialmen is to be made by a joint check, the release of lien shall be effective through the date covered by the previous release of funds request); 
(iv)    If (A) the cost of an Expansion Alteration exceeds $25,000.00, (B) the contractor performing such Expansion Alteration requires periodic payments pursuant to terms of a written contract, and (C) Lender has approved in writing in advance such periodic payments such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, a request for reimbursement from the Completion Security may be made after completion of a portion of the work under such contract, provided (1) such contract requires payment upon completion of such portion of the work, (2) the materials for which the request is made are on site at the Property and are properly secured or have been installed in the Property, (3) all other conditions in this Agreement for release have been satisfied, (4) the amount of the Completion Security

remaining is, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, sufficient to complete such Expansion Alteration and other Expansion Alterations when required, and (5) if required by Lender, each contractor or subcontractor receiving payments under such contract shall provide a waiver of lien with respect to amounts which have been paid to that contractor or subcontractor; and

Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance; provided, however, that any Insurance Proceeds received by Lender in respect of such damage or destruction which are to be made available to Borrower pursuant to Section 6.4 below to pay the costs of such Restoration shall be disbursed to Borrower upon satisfaction and in accordance with the of terms and conditions set forth in Section 6.4 hereof.  Lender shall be entitled (but not obligated) to submit a proof of loss with respect to such Casualty to each applicable insurance company in the event Borrower shall not have submitted a proof of loss, or otherwise presented a claim sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the applicable insurance Policy, on or before that date which is thirty (30) days prior to the deadline for submitting such proof of loss or other claim under the terms of the applicable insurance Policy.  In addition, Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies (and shall approve the final settlement, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) and upon request of Lender, Borrower shall deliver or caused to be delivered to Lender all instruments reasonably required by Lender to permit such participation.

(a)  Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened (in writing) commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation 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 reasonably requested by it to permit such participation.  Borrower or Operating Lessee 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 (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), 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 in accordance with Section 2.4.2.  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, or cause to be promptly commenced and diligently prosecuted, the Restoration of the Property, subject to the applicable zoning laws in effect at the time of such Restoration, to as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Condemnation, with such alterations as may be permitted or otherwise 

USActive 30748472.10    -94-

reasonably approved by Lender, and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4 hereof; provided, however, that Borrower shall be entitled to receive any Condemnation Proceeds received by Lender with respect to such Condemnation subject to satisfaction of and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 6.4 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, and to apply the Condemnation Proceeds to payment of the Debt.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, if the Loan or any portion thereof is included in a REMIC Trust and, immediately following a release of any portion of the Lien of the Mortgage in connection with a Condemnation of the Property (but taking into account any proposed Restoration on the remaining portion of the Property), the Loan-to-Value Ratio is greater than 125%, the principal balance of the Loan must be prepaid down by an amount not less than the least of the following amounts (in each case without penalty or premium):  (i) the Condemnation Proceeds, (ii) the fair market value of the released property at the time of the release, or (iii) an amount such that the Loan-to-Value Ratio does not increase after the release, unless Lender receives an opinion of counsel that if such amount is not paid, the Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a REMIC Trust as a result of the related release of such portion of the Lien of the Mortgage.  Any such prepayment shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment and shall be subject to Section 2.4.1 hereof (other than the requirements to prepay the Debt in full and provide thirty (30) days’ notice to Lender), provided, that no prepayment made pursuant to this Section 6.3(b) shall be subject to the Yield Maintenance Premium.

The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, for contracts equal to or greater than $250,000.00, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and the Casualty Consultant, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  All reasonable out-of-pocket 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 fees of the Casualty Consultant, if any, shall be paid by Borrower.

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 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and Other Obligations under the Loan Documents.
(vii)    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 6.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to or as directed by Borrower, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
(c)    All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to or as directed by Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vii) hereof may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt in accordance with Section 2.4.2 hereof in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem property, 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 reasonable discretion.  If Lender shall receive and retain Net Proceeds, the Lien of the Security Instruments shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received and retained by Lender and actually applied by Lender in reduction of the Debt pursuant to Section 2.4.2 hereof.
(d)    In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, 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 that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if Borrower does not complete the Required Repairs by the required deadline for each repair as set forth on Schedule IV, provided, that if Borrower shall have been unable to complete a Required Repair by the required deadline, after using commercially reasonable efforts to do so, as a result of Force Majeure or a Casualty or Condemnation and provided that the failure to complete such Required Repair does not (i) involve imminent issues relating to protection of human health and safety, (ii) does not endanger any tenant, patron or other occupant of the Property or the general public and (iii) does not materially and adversely affect the value of the Property or result in a default by Borrower or any other Loan Party under the Franchise Agreement or Management Agreement, the required deadline shall be automatically extended solely as to such Required Repair to permit Borrower to complete such Required Repair so long as Borrower is at all times thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeding to complete the same (provided that such additional period shall not exceed ninety (90) days in respect of any Required Repair).  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, but without any obligation to do so, may complete (or cause to be completed) the Required Repairs at the Property.

If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Other Charges and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof, Lender shall, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund.

Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all persons or entities supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Reserve Funds; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.

Section 8.2    Remedies.  (h)  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower and any other Loan Party under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower and any other Loan Party 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.  Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, 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 law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower 

USActive 30748472.10    -109-

and each other Loan Party 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, to the extent such law or rule may be waived by a Borrower and each other Loan Party 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 each Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(i)    With respect to Borrower, each other Loan Party and the Property, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority to any other collateral for the Loan, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the Property, or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgage then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances:  (i) in the event Borrower or any other Loan Party defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of interest, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage 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 Mortgage to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect.  Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.
(j)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance 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 “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder, provided, that (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Loan immediately following such severance shall equal the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to such severance, (ii) the weighted average interest rate of the Loan immediately following such severance shall equal the weighted interest rate of the Loan immediately prior to such severance; and (iii) such Severed Loan Documents shall not materially adversely affect Borrower or any other Loan Party or increase any of the obligations or decrease any of the rights of Borrower or such Loan Party under the Loan Documents, other than in a de minimis amount.  Borrower and each other Loan Party 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.  During the existence of an Event of Default, Borrower and each other Loan Party 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 and each other Loan Party ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such 

USActive 30748472.10    -110-

documents under such power until five (5) days after notice has been given to Borrower and each other Loan Party by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power.  Borrower shall be obligated to pay any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents and 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 and each other Loan Party only as of the Closing Date.
(k)    As used in this Section 8.2, a “foreclosure” shall include, without limitation, any sale by power of sale.
Section 8.3    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 and any other Loan Party 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 Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower or any other Loan Party shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or such other Loan Party or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

USActive 30748472.10    -111-

Borrower shall not be required to provide any information or documents that Lender did not require in connection with the closing of the Loan (other than updates or changes to such information and/or documents that were previously provided by Borrower, any other Loan Part or Guarantor) to the extent such information or documents would be unduly burdensome or costly for Borrower to produce and in no event shall Borrower or any other Loan Party have any obligation to provide any Chatham Confidential Information.  Lender shall have the right to provide to prospective investors and the Rating Agencies any information in its possession, including, without limitation, financial statements relating to Borrower, each other Loan Party, Guarantor, if any, the Property and any Tenant of the Improvements, provided, however, that in no event shall Borrower or any other Loan Party have any obligation to provide any Chatham Confidential Information.

(c)    Borrower and each other Loan Party agrees to make upon Lender’s written request, without limitation, all structural or other changes to the Loan (including delivery of one or more new component notes to replace the original Note or modify the original Note to reflect multiple components of the Loan and such new notes or modified note may have different interest rates and amortization schedules), modifications to any documents evidencing or securing the Loan, creation of one or more mezzanine loans (including amending Borrower’s and each other Loan Party’s organizational structure to provide for one or more mezzanine borrowers), delivery of opinions of counsel acceptable to the Approved Rating Agencies or potential investors and addressing such matters as the Approved Rating Agencies or potential investors may require; provided, however, that in

In connection with and subject to the foregoing, Borrower and each other Loan Party covenants and agrees to modify the Cash Management Agreement to reflect the newly created components and/or mezzanine loans.
(d)    If requested by Lender, Borrower and each other Loan Party shall provide Lender, promptly upon request, with any financial statements, financial, statistical or operating information or other information as Lender shall determine necessary or appropriate (including items required (or items that would be required if the Securitization were offered publicly) pursuant to Regulation AB under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto) or required by any other legal requirements, in each case, in connection with any private placement memorandum, prospectus or other disclosure documents or materials or any filing pursuant to the Exchange Act in connection with the Securitization or as shall otherwise be reasonably requested by Lender, provided, however, that in no event shall Borrower or any other Loan Party have any obligation to provide any Chatham Confidential Information.
(e)    Borrower and each other Loan Party agrees that each participant pursuant to Section 9.1.1(a) shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.7 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.7(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.7(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment; provided that such participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.7, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in a requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by such participant or the participating Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, in each case after the participant acquired the applicable participation.  
(f)    JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, or an agent appointed by it, in either case acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender, and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loan owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, each other Loan Party and each Lender shall treat each Person 

USActive 30748472.10    -113-

whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement (including the payment of principal and interest).  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
(g)    Each Lender that sells a participation pursuant to Section 9.1.1(a) shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loan or other Obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
9.1.7    Securitization Costs.  All reasonable third party costs and expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with Borrower’s complying with requests made under this Section 9.1 (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of the Rating Agencies) shall be paid by Lender.

(b)    Reserved.
(c)    Borrower shall execute and deliver such documents as shall reasonably be required by Lender in connection with this Section 9.1.4, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies within ten (10) Business Days following such request by Lender.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Lender shall pay or cause to be paid or reimbursed to Borrower all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Borrower, any other Loan Party or any Guarantor in connection with this Section 9.1.4 (including, without limitation, any documentary stamp taxes, intangible taxes and other recording taxes)
(d)    Borrower covenants and agrees that after the Closing Date and prior to a Securitization of the Loan, Lender shall have the right, at Lender’s sole cost and expense, to create one or more mezzanine loans (each, a “New Mezzanine Loan”), to establish different interest rates and to reallocate the amortization, interest rate and principal balances of each of the Loan and any New Mezzanine Loan(s) amongst each other and to require the payment of the Loan and any New Mezzanine Loan(s) in such order of priority as may be designated by Lender; provided, that (1) the Loan and any New Mezzanine Loan(s) shall at all times have the same weighted average spread of the Loan on the Closing Date (except in connection with a prepayment of the Loan in accordance with Section 2.4.2 hereof or following an Event of Default) and the same stated maturity date as  the Loan, (2) no such reallocation shall modify the aggregate amortization of principal of the Loan and (3) no such reallocation shall increase, in the aggregate, any monetary obligation of Borrower under the Loan Documents or any other obligation of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents or decrease, in the aggregate, any rights of Borrower and any other Loan Party under the Loan Documents, other that in a de minimis amount.  At Lender’s sole cost and expense, Borrower shall execute and deliver such documents as shall reasonably be required by Lender as promptly as possible under the circumstances in connection with this Section 9.1.4(d), all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Borrower, Lender and the Approved Rating Agencies, including, without limitation, a promissory note and loan documents necessary to evidence such New Mezzanine Loan, and Borrower shall execute such amendments to the Loan Documents as are necessary in connection with the creation of such New Mezzanine Loan; provided, that such amendments or other documents shall have no economic effect or increase the obligations or decrease the rights or remedies of Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder, other than in a de minimis amount and no such amendments or other documents shall modify any provisions of the Loan Documents other than to effectuate such reallocation and as otherwise necessary to accurately reflect such New Mezzanine Loan.  If Borrower shall cause the formation of one or more special purpose, bankruptcy remote entities as required by Lender in order to serve as the borrower under any New Mezzanine Loan or, if available, utilize an upper-tier special purpose vehicle in its structure as such borrower (each, a “New Mezzanine Borrower”).  The applicable organizational documents of Borrower shall be amended and modified as necessary or required in the formation of any New Mezzanine Borrower, but subject to the other terms of this Section 9.1.4(d).  Further, in connection with any New Mezzanine Loan, Borrower shall, at Lender’s sole cost and expense, deliver to Lender opinions of legal counsel with respect to due execution, authority and enforceability of the loan documents with respect to the New Mezzanine Loan and the Loan Documents, as amended, in substantially the same form as the opinion delivered at Closing, and an updated Insolvency Opinion for the Loan

This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower or any other Loan Party may otherwise have under the Loan Documents.  Moreover, the indemnification and reimbursement obligations provided for in clauses (B) and (C) above shall be effective, valid and binding obligations of the Indemnifying Persons, whether or not an indemnification agreement described in clause (A) above is provided.

USActive 30748472.10    -117-

is to be made against any Indemnifying Person, notify such Indemnifying Person in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under the indemnification provisions of this Section 9.2 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided further that the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under the provisions of this Section 9.2.  If any such claim or action shall be brought against an Indemnified Person, and it shall notify any Indemnifying Person thereof, such Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person.  After notice from any Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable to the Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof except as provided in the following sentence; provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action include both an Indemnifying Person, on the one hand, and one or more Indemnified Persons on the other hand, and an Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Persons that are different or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person, the Indemnified Person or Persons shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Person or Persons.  The Indemnified Person shall instruct its counsel to maintain reasonably detailed billing records for fees and disbursements for which such Indemnified Person is seeking reimbursement hereunder and shall submit copies of such detailed billing records to substantiate that such counsel’s fees and disbursements are solely related to the defense of a claim for which the Indemnifying Person is required hereunder to indemnify such Indemnified Person.  No Indemnifying Person shall be liable for the expenses of more than one (1) such separate counsel unless such Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another Indemnified Person.
(l)    Without the prior written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no Indemnifying Person shall settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless the Indemnifying Person shall have given Lender reasonable prior written notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceedings.  As long as an Indemnifying Person has complied with its obligations to defend and indemnify hereunder, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement made by any Indemnified Person without the consent of such Indemnifying Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(m)    The Indemnifying Persons agree that if any indemnification or reimbursement sought pursuant to this Section 9.2 is finally judicially determined to be unavailable for any reason or is insufficient to hold any Indemnified Person harmless (with respect only to the Liabilities that are the subject of this Section 9.2), then the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, shall contribute to the Liabilities for which such indemnification or reimbursement is held unavailable or is insufficient:  (x) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, from the transactions to which such indemnification or reimbursement relates; or (y) if the allocation provided by clause (x) above is not permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (x) but also the relative faults of the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, as well as any other equitable considerations.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.2, (A) no party found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any other party who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (B) the Indemnifying Persons agree that in no event shall the amount to be contributed by the Indemnified Persons collectively pursuant to this paragraph exceed the amount of the fees actually received by the Indemnified Persons in connection with the closing of the Loan.

The Indemnifying Persons further agree that the Indemnified Persons are intended third party beneficiaries under this Section 9.2.
(o)    The liabilities and obligations of the Indemnified Persons and the Indemnifying Persons under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.

Section 9.3    Exculpation.  (b)  Subject to the provisions of (b) and (c) below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of any Loan Party to perform and observe the obligations contained in this Agreement, the Note or the Mortgages or any of the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against any Loan Party or any direct or indirect member, shareholder, partner, manager, beneficiary or other owner of direct or indirect beneficial ownership interests in, or any Affiliate of, any Loan Party, or any director, officer, employees, trustee or agent of any Loan Party or any of the foregoing other than Guarantor pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Guaranty and Environmental Indemnity, as applicable (each, an “Exculpated Party” and, collectively, the “Exculpated Parties”), except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on Borrower or any other Loan Party, shall entitle Borrower or such other Loan Party to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.
Section 10.5    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.
Section 10.6    Notices.  All notices, consents, approvals and requests required or permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be given in writing and shall be effective for all purposes if hand delivered or sent by (a) certified or registered United States mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, (b) expedited prepaid delivery service, either commercial or United States Postal Service, with proof of attempted delivery, or (c) facsimile with a confirmatory duplicate copy certified or registered United States mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested), addressed as follows (or at such other address, facsimile number and/or Person as shall be designated from time to time by any party hereto, as the case may be, in a written notice to the other parties hereto in the manner provided for in this Section):

OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO.
Section 10.8    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.
Section 10.9    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.
Section 10.10    Preferences.  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, 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 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.
Section 10.11    Waiver of Notice.  Neither Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower or such other Loan Party and except with respect to matters for which a Loan Party is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice.  Each Loan Party hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and such other Loan Party.
Section 10.12    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, each Loan Party agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and each Loan Party’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.
Section 10.13    Expenses; Indemnity.  (a)  Borrower  covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender within ten (10) days of written notice from Lender for all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) 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 

USActive 30748472.10    -128-

contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for each Loan Party (including, without limitation, any opinions requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Property); (ii) each Loan Party’s ongoing performance of and compliance with such Loan Party’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) following any request by Borrower, any other Loan Party or Guarantor for any approvals, subordination and non-disturbance agreements, or similar agreements, Lender’s performance and compliance with such requests 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 any Loan Party; (v) securing  each Loan Party’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 Liens 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 any Loan Party, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Property, 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 with respect to the Property (including, without limitation, any fees and expenses incurred by or payable to Servicer or a trustee in connection with the transfer of the Loan to a special servicer upon Servicer’s anticipation of a Default or Event of Default, liquidation fees, workout fees, special servicing fees, operating advisor fees or any other similar fees and interest payable on advances made by the Servicer with respect to delinquent debt service payments or expenses of curing any Loan Party’s defaults under the 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 or any other amounts required under Section 9.5; provided, however, that no Loan Party shall be liable for the payment or reimbursement 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 Lockbox Account or Cash Management Account, as applicable.
(b)    Borrower and each other Loan Party shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all other actual 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 in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not an Indemnified Party shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower or any other Loan Party of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower or any other Loan Party contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan or (iii) any 

USActive 30748472.10    -129-

liabilities incurred by Lender arising from the negotiation and/or execution of any Assignment of Franchise Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that no Loan Party shall have any obligation to any Indemnified Party hereunder to the extent that any Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party.  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, each Loan Party shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnified Parties.
(c)    Each Loan Party covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower or any other Loan Party fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any reasonable 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 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.
(d)    Each Loan Party shall jointly and severally indemnify the Lender and each of its respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates against any actual liabilities to which Lender, each of its respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates, shall become subject arising from any indemnification from Lender or its Affiliates to the Rating Agencies in connection with issuing, monitoring or maintaining the Securities to the extent such liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact in any information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to the Rating Agencies (the “Covered Rating Agency Information”) or arise out of or are based upon the omission to state a material fact in the Covered Rating Agency Information required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Rating Agency Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
Section 10.14    Schedules Incorporated.  The Schedules and Exhibits annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
Section 10.15    Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses.  Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower or any other Loan Party may otherwise have against any assignor of the Loan and the Loan Documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower or any other Loan Party in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon the Loan and the Loan Documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by such Loan Party.

Section 10.16    No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.  
(a)  Each Loan Party and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender.  Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy in common, or joint tenancy relationship between any Loan Party and Lender, nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.
(b)    This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and each Loan Party and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and each Loan Party any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein.  All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
Section 10.17    Publicity.  (a)  All news releases, publicity or advertising by any Loan Party or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association in their sole discretion.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, disclosure required by any applicable laws, including any applicable federal or State securities laws, rules or regulations, as determined by Borrower’s counsel, shall not be subject to the prior written approval of Lender or JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association.
(b)  All news releases, publicity or advertising by Lender or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Borrower or any Guarantor or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Borrower provided, that any news releases, publicity or advertising required by applicable law or in any judicial or administrative proceeding, shall not require the prior written approval of Borrower.
Section 10.18    Waiver of Marshalling of Assets.  (a) Reserved.
(b)    To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Party, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of such Loan Party, its respective partners or members, and others with interests in such Loan Party, and of the Property and agrees not to assert any right under any 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 

USActive 30748472.10    -131-

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.  
Section 10.19    Waiver of Counterclaim.  Each Loan Party 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.
Section 10.20    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.  Each Loan Party acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, each Loan Party 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 any Loan Party, and each Loan Party 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.  Each Loan Party 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 such Loan Party, Guarantor or their respective Affiliates.
Section 10.21    Brokers and Financial Advisors.  Each Loan Party hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders other than Broker in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Each Loan Party hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actual claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Lender in any way relating to or arising from a claim by Broker or any other Person that such Person acted on behalf of such Loan Party or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.  The provisions of this Section 10.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.
Section 10.22    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 each Loan Party and Lender are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 10.23    Joint and Several Liability.  If Borrower consists of more than one (1) Person the obligations and liabilities of each Person shall be joint and several.

Section 10.24    Certain Additional Rights of Lender (VCOC).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have:
(a)    the right to routinely consult 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;
(b)    the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books and records of Borrower at any reasonable times upon reasonable notice;
(c)    the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 5.1.11 hereof, to receive monthly, quarterly and year-end financial reports, including balance sheets, statements of income, shareholder’s equity and cash flow, a management report and schedules of outstanding indebtedness; and
