borrowed and repaid in respect of the Loan may not be reborrowed.

          (c) The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note and secured by the Mortgages and the other Loan
Documents.

          (d) Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan to (i) pay costs and expenses in connection
with the financing of the Property and the closing of the Loan, (ii) make deposits into the Reserve

to Borrower’s members.

          Section 2.02 Interest Rate.

          (a) Note Rate. The outstanding principal amount of the Loan shall bear interest at
the Note Rate. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, interest shall be paid in arrears.

-18-

 

          (b) Computations and Determinations. All interest shall be computed on the basis of a
year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed during an Interest Period. Lender
shall determine in good faith each interest rate applicable to the Debt in accordance with this
Agreement and such determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The
books and records of Lender shall be prima facie evidence of all sums owing to Lender from time to
time under this Agreement, but the failure to record any such information shall not limit or affect
the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents.

          (c) Default Rate. Any principal of, and to the extent permitted by applicable law,
any interest on the Note, and any other sum payable hereunder, which is not paid when due shall
bear interest from the date due and payable until paid, payable on demand, at the Default Rate.

          (d) Usury Savings. This Agreement and the Note are subject to the express condition
that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of
the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of
being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance
due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may

the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of
the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does
not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the
Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

          (a) Payments. Borrower agrees to pay sums under the Note in installments as follows:

permitted by applicable law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan shall
accrue at the Default Rate, and (ii) Lender shall be entitled to receive and Borrower shall pay or
cause to be paid to Lender all cash flow from the Property, such amount to be

-19-

 

applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in such order as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion, including,
without limitation, alternating applications thereof between interest and principal. Interest at
the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the earlier of
(x) the actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then due) and
(y) the cure of such Event of Default. To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the
Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan
and shall be secured by the Mortgage. This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or
privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or
remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default; the acceptance of
any payment from Borrower shall not be deemed to cure or constitute a waiver of any Event of
Default; and Lender retains its rights under this Agreement to accelerate and to continue to demand
payment of the Debt upon the happening of and during the continuance of any Event of Default,
despite any payment by Borrower to Lender.

          (c) Late Payment Charge. If any principal or interest payment is not paid by Borrower
on or before the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal
to the lesser of four percent (4%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable
law (in either case, the “Late Payment Charge”) in order to defray the expense incurred by
Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of
the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other
Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Late
Payment Charge shall not be payable on the outstanding principal due and payable on the Maturity
Date unless and until such final principal payment is ten (10) days delinquent, at which time the
Late Payment Charge shall be due and owing with respect to same (it being understood and agreed to
by Borrower that the foregoing is not limited to, and in no way does, grant to Borrower a grace
period with respect to such final principal and interest payment due and owing on the Maturity Date
and Lender shall be entitled to all of its other rights and remedies (including, without
limitation, the right to charge interest at the Default Rate) in the event that all principal,
interest and other amounts outstanding hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are not paid on
or before the Maturity Date.

          (d) Method and Place of Payment. Each payment by Borrower hereunder or under the Note

28265-0585, or at such other place as the Lender may designate from time to time by written

shall be made in funds settled through the New York Clearing House Interbank Payments System or
other funds immediately available to Lender by 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date such
payment is due, to Lender by deposit to such account as Lender may designate by written notice to
Borrower. Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Note shall be stated to be due on a day
which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the first Business Day preceding such
scheduled due date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in the
other Loan Documents, Borrower shall not be deemed to be in default hereunder or thereunder in the
event funds sufficient for a required transfer are held in an appropriate Eligible Account and
Lender or servicer fails to timely make any transfer from such Eligible Account as contemplated by
this Agreement unless due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Borrower.

by Borrower to Lender of the Prepayment Premium (as set forth in subsection (i) above), if

means, including, without limitation, repayment of the Loan by the Borrower or any other
Person pursuant to any statutory or common law right of redemption.

          (d) Prepayments During the Lockout Period. If, during the Lockout Period, payment of
all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower or otherwise recovered by Lender, such tender
or recovery shall be (i) made on the next occurring Payment Date together with the Monthly Debt

applicable law and (y) the accrued and unpaid interest calculated for the full Interest Period in
which such voluntary prepayment occurs.

Condemnation Proceeds pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, or (ii) the application of any
interest in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law to the

-21-

comply with the terms and conditions of Section 2.05 hereof with respect to such Individual
Property. Borrower shall cause the affected Individual Property to be released within thirty (30)
days of the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation, provided, that, with respect to any such

Property without payment of any Prepayment Premium or Lockout Yield Maintenance Premium.

then due and payable to Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, (ii) to accrued but

amount. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payment
made on the Note shall be applied to accrued but unpaid interest, late charges, accrued fees, the
unpaid principal amount of the Note, and any other sums due and unpaid to Lender in connection with
the Loan, in such manner and order as Lender may elect in its sole and absolute discretion.

of the Lien of a Mortgage (and the related Loan Documents) encumbering an Individual Property (a
“Substituted Property”) by substituting therefor its interest in one or more properties of
like kind and quality acquired by Borrower (individually, a “Substitute Property” and
collectively, the “Substitute Properties”), provided that no such substitution may occur
after the date that is three (3) months prior to the Maturity Date. In addition, any such
substitution shall be subject, in each case, to the satisfaction of the following conditions

          (a) The Substitute Property must be a property as to which Borrower will hold indefeasible fee
or ground leasehold title free and clear of any lien or other encumbrance except for Permitted
Encumbrances, Leases and easements, restrictive covenants and other title exceptions which do not

property for its current use. In the event the Borrower’s interest in any Substitute Property is a
ground leasehold interest, the ground lease must comply with all then-applicable Rating Agency

          Section 4.01 Organization.

          Each of the Borrower and Borrower Principal (a) has been duly organized and is validly
existing and in good standing with requisite power and authority to own its properties and to
transact the businesses in which it is now engaged, (b) is duly qualified to do business and is in
good standing in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its
properties, businesses and operations, (c) possesses all rights, licenses, permits and

Property, and (d) in the case of Borrower, has full power, authority and legal right to mortgage,
grant, bargain, sell, pledge, assign, warrant, transfer and convey, as applicable, all of its
right, title and interest in the Property pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents. Each of the
Borrower and Borrower Principal, has full power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver
the Loan Documents to which it is a party. Each of Borrower and Borrower Principal represent and
warrant that the chart attached hereto as Exhibit B sets forth an accurate listing of the
direct and indirect owners of the equity interests in Borrower, each SPE Component Entity (if any)
and each Borrower Principal.

          Section 4.02 Status of Borrower.

          Borrower’s exact legal name is correctly set forth on the first page of this Agreement, on
each Mortgage and on any UCC-1 financing statements filed in connection with the Loan. Borrower is

incorporated in or organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. Borrower’s principal place of
business and chief executive office, and the place where Borrower keeps its books and records,

(or, if less, the entire period of the existence of Borrower) the address of Borrower set forth on
the first page of this Agreement. Borrower’s organizational identification number is 4104735.

          Section 4.03 Validity of Documents.

          Each of Borrower and Borrower Principal has taken all necessary action to authorize the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which they
are parties. This Agreement and such other Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by
or on behalf of Borrower and Borrower Principal and constitute the legal, valid and binding
obligations of Borrower and Borrower Principal enforceable against Borrower and Borrower Principal,
as applicable, in accordance with their

-36-

 

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).

          Section 4.04 No Conflicts.

          The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by
Borrower and Borrower Principal 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 Borrower and Borrower Principal pursuant to the terms of any agreement or instrument to
which Borrower and Borrower Principal is a party or by which any of Borrower’s and Borrower
Principal’s 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
jurisdiction over Borrower and Borrower Principal or any of Borrower’s and Borrower Principal’s
properties or assets which, in each case, could reasonably be expected to cause a MAE. Any
consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any Governmental
Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower and Borrower Principal
of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and
effect, except for any violation that could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to result in a MAE.

          Section 4.05 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 Borrower’s and Borrower Principal’s knowledge,
threatened against or affecting Borrower, Borrower Principal or any Individual Property, which
actions, suits or proceedings, if adversely determined against Borrower, Borrower Principal or any
Individual Property could reasonably be expected to cause a MAE.

          Section 4.06 Agreements.

          Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which
could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect Borrower or any Individual
Property, or Borrower’s business, properties or assets, operations or condition, financial or
otherwise. Borrower is not in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or
fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or
instrument to which it is a party or by which Borrower or any Individual Property is bound which is
reasonably likely to cause a MAE. Borrower has no material financial obligation under any
agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower is otherwise bound, other
than (a) obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Property, and (b)
obligations under the Loan Documents.

          Section 4.07 Solvency.

          Borrower and Borrower Principal have (a) not entered into the transaction or executed the
Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder,

-37-

 

delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for
their obligations under such Loan Documents. Giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of
the assets of Borrower and each Borrower Principal exceeds and will, immediately following the
making of the Loan, exceed the total liabilities of Borrower and each Borrower Principal,
including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. No
petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower, Borrower Principal, any SPE Component
Entity (if any) in the last ten (10) years, and neither Borrower nor Borrower Principal or any SPE
Component Entity (if any) in the last ten (10) years has made an assignment for the benefit of
creditors or taken advantage of any Creditors Rights Laws. Neither Borrower nor Borrower Principal
or any SPE Component Entity (if any) is contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under
any Creditors Rights Laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of Borrower’s assets or
property, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition
against Borrower, Borrower Principal or any SPE Component Entity (if any).

          Section 4.09 No Plan Assets.

          Borrower is not an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to
Title I of ERISA, and none of the assets of Borrower constitutes 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)
Borrower is not a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and (b)
transactions by or with Borrower are not subject to state statutes regulating investment of, and
fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans similar to the provisions of Section 406
of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code currently in effect, which prohibit or
otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

          Section 4.10 Not a Foreign Person.

          Borrower is not a “foreign person” within the meaning of Sections 1445 or 7701 of the Code.

          Section 4.11 Enforceability.

          The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or
defense by Borrower, 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 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)), and neither Borrower nor
Borrower Principal has asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with
respect thereto.

aggregate could not reasonably be expected to cause a MAE with respect to an Individual Property.
To Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower is not in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction,
decree or demand of any Governmental Authority which could reasonably be expected to cause a MAE
and Borrower has received no written notice of any such default or violation. There has not been
committed by Borrower or, to Borrower’s knowledge, any other Person in occupancy of or involved
with the operation or use of any Individual Property any act or omission affording any Governmental
Authority the right of forfeiture as against any Individual Property or any part thereof or any
monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents.

          Section 4.14 Financial Information.

          All financial data, including, without limitation, the balance sheets, statements of cash

in respect of Borrower, any Borrower Principal and/or the Property (a) are true, complete and
correct in all material respects, (b) accurately represent the financial condition of Borrower,
Borrower Principal or the Property, as applicable, as of the date of such reports, and (c) to the
extent prepared or audited by an independent certified public accounting firm, have been prepared
in accordance with GAAP throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein. Borrower does
not have any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term
commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to
Borrower and could reasonably be expected to cause a MAE, except as referred to or reflected in
said financial statements. Since the date of such financial statements, to Borrower’s knowledge,
there has been no materially adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of
Borrower or Borrower Principal from that set forth in said financial statements that could
reasonably be expected to have a MAE.

          Section 4.15 Condemnation.

          No Condemnation or other proceeding has been commenced or, to Borrower’s knowledge, is
threatened or contemplated with respect to all or any portion of any Individual Property or for the
relocation of roadways providing access to the related Individual Property that individually or in
the aggregate could reasonably be expected to cause a MAE.

          Section 4.16 Utilities and Public Access; Parking.

          Each Individual Property has adequate rights of access to public ways and is served by water,
sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities adequate to service each Individual Property for
full utilization of the Property for its intended uses except to the extent any such failure
individually or in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to cause a MAE. All public
utilities necessary to the use of each Individual Property as currently used are located either in
the public right-of-way abutting the Property (which are connected so as to

-39-

 

serve the related Individual Property without passing over other property) or in recorded
easements serving each Individual Property and such easements are set forth in and insured by the
Title Insurance Policy. All roads necessary for the use of the Property for its current purposes
have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities. Each
Individual Property has, or is served by, parking to the extent required to comply with all Legal
Requirements.

          Section 4.17 Separate Lots.

          Each Individual Property is comprised of one (1) or more parcels which constitute separate tax
lots and do not constitute a portion of any other tax lot not a part of such Individual Property.

          Section 4.18 Assessments.

          To Borrower’s knowledge, there are no pending or proposed special or other assessments for
public improvements or otherwise affecting any Individual Property, nor are there any contemplated
improvements to any Individual Property that may result in such special or other assessments, in
each case that individually or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to cause a MAE.

          Section 4.19 Insurance.

          Borrower has obtained and has delivered to Lender certified copies of all Policies or
certificates of insurance with respect to all such Policies reflecting the insurance coverages,
amounts and other requirements set forth in this Agreement. To Borrower’s knowledge, no Person,
including Borrower, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair in any material
respect the coverage of any of the Policies.

          Section 4.20 Use of Property.

          Each Individual Property is used exclusively for the purposes set forth with respect to each
Individual Property on Schedule III attached hereto and other appurtenant and related uses.

          Section 4.21 Certificate of Occupancy; Licenses.

          All material certifications, permits and licenses, including, without limitation, certificates
of completion or occupancy and any applicable liquor license required for the legal use, occupancy
and operation of each Individual Property for its current use as stated herein, have been obtained
and are valid and in full force and effect, except to the extent any such failure could reasonably
be expected individually or in the aggregate to cause a MAE. Borrower shall keep and maintain all
licenses necessary for the operation of each Individual Property for the purpose intended herein,
except to the extent any such failure could not reasonably be expected individually or in the
aggregate to cause a MAE. The use being made of each Individual Property is in conformity with the
certificate of occupancy and any permits or licenses issued for the related Individual Property,
except to the extent any such failure could not reasonably be expected individually or in the
aggregate to cause a MAE.

the date hereof are true and correct in all material respects.

          Section 4.42 Survival.

          Each of Borrower and Borrower Principal agree that, unless expressly provided otherwise, all
of the representations and warranties of Borrower and Borrower Principal set forth in this
Agreement and in the other Loan Documents shall survive for so long as any portion of the Debt
remains owing to Lender. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made in this
Agreement or in the other Loan Documents by Borrower and Borrower Principal shall be deemed to have
been relied upon by Lender notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by Lender
or on its behalf.

ARTICLE V

BORROWER COVENANTS

          From the date hereof and until repayment of the Debt in full and performance in full of all
obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents or the earlier release of the Lien of the Mortgage
(and all related obligations (with respect to one or more of the Individual

-45-

 

Properties)) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender that:

          Section 5.01 Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements.

          (a) Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in
full force and effect its existence, rights, licenses, permits and franchises and comply in all
material respects with all Legal Requirements applicable to it and the related Individual Property.
Borrower hereby covenants and agrees not to commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission
affording any Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against any Individual Property or
any material part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of
the Loan Documents. Borrower shall at all times maintain, preserve and protect all franchises and
trade names to the extent necessary in connection with the operation of each Individual Property.

          (b) After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by
appropriate legal proceedings, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due
diligence, any Legal Requirement affecting the related Individual Property, provided that (i) no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and
be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other material instrument to which Borrower
or the related Individual Property is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder; (iii)
neither such Individual Property, nor Borrower shall be affected in any material adverse way as a
result of such proceeding; (iv) non-compliance with the Legal Requirements shall not impose civil
(other than monetary damages which are anticipated to be less than $250,000 in the aggregate) or
criminal liability on Borrower or Lender; and (v) Borrower shall have furnished the security as may
be required in the proceeding to ensure compliance by Borrower with the Legal Requirements.

          Section 5.02 Maintenance and Use of Property.

          Borrower shall cause each Individual Property to be maintained in a good and safe condition
and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted and subject to Excusable Delay and the provisions of
this Agreement with respect to any Casualty or Condemnation. The Improvements and the Collateral
Property shall not be removed, demolished or, other than in accordance with the provisions of
Section 5.21, materially altered (except for normal replacement of the Collateral Property)
without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed, provided, however, Lender’s consent shall be deemed granted under this
Section 5.02 if not disapproved by Lender in writing within fifteen (15) days of Lender’s
receipt of the Borrower’s request pursuant to this Section in an envelope marked “LENDER’S RESPONSE
IS REQUIRED WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) DAYS OF RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF SECTION
5.02 OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT” together with all other information and documentation related thereto
that is reasonably requested by Lender in connection with its analysis of the request hereunder.
Borrower shall cause each Individual Property not to be used other than for retail purposes and
related ancillary uses, in each case consistent in all material respects with the manner in which
any such Individual Property is currently being used. If under applicable zoning provisions the
use of all or any portion of any Individual Property is or shall become a nonconforming use,

-46-

 

Borrower will not cause or permit the nonconforming use to be discontinued or the
nonconforming Improvement to be abandoned without the express written consent of Lender.

          Section 5.03 Waste.

          Borrower shall not commit or suffer any waste of any Individual Property or make any change in
the use of the Property which will in any way materially increase the risk of fire or other hazard
arising out of the operation of any Individual Property, or take any action that could reasonably
be expected to invalidate or give cause for cancellation of any Policy, or do or permit to be done
thereon anything that could reasonably be expected to have an MAE. Borrower will not, without the
prior written consent of Lender, permit any drilling or exploration for or extraction, removal, or
production of any minerals from the surface or the subsurface of any Individual Property,
regardless of the depth thereof or the method of mining or extraction thereof.

          Section 5.04 Taxes and Other Charges; Contests.

          (a) Subject to its right to contest any Taxes as set forth in Section 5.04(b) hereof,
Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or
assessed or imposed against each Individual Property or any part thereof prior to the time the same
shall become delinquent; provided, however, Borrower’s obligation to directly pay Taxes shall be
suspended for so long as Borrower complies with the terms and provisions of Section 9.06
hereof. Borrower shall, upon written request of Lender, furnish to Lender receipts for the payment
of the Taxes and the Other Charges (provided, however, that Borrower is not required to furnish
such receipts for payment of Taxes in the event that such Taxes have been paid by Lender pursuant
to Section 9.06 hereof). Subject to its right to contest any such amounts as set forth in
Section 5.04(b) hereof, Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid and
discharged or bonded over any Lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a Lien or charge
against any Individual Property, and shall promptly pay for all utility services provided to each
Individual Property.

          (b) After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by
appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due
diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any Lien or any Taxes or
Other Charges, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (ii) such
proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other
material instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and
such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance in all material respects with all applicable Legal
Requirements; (iii) neither the related Individual Property nor any part thereof or interest
therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, canceled or lost; (iv) Borrower
shall promptly upon final determination thereof pay the amount of such Lien or such Taxes or Other
Charges, together with all costs, interest and penalties which may be payable in connection
therewith; (v) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of such contested Lien, Taxes or Other
Charges from the related Individual Property; and (vi) after taking into account the funds then on
deposit in the applicable Reserve Account available for use in the payment of any such contested
Taxes or Other Charges, Borrower shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding,
or deliver to Lender such reserve deposits as may be reasonably

-47-

 

requested by Lender, to insure the payment of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with
all interest and penalties thereon (unless Borrower has paid all of the Taxes or Other Charges
under protest). Lender may pay over any such cash deposit or part thereof held by Lender to the
claimant entitled thereto at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the entitlement
of such claimant is established or the related Individual Property (or part thereof or interest
therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, canceled or lost or there shall
be any danger of the Lien of the Mortgage being primed by any related Lien.

          Section 5.05 Litigation.

          Borrower shall give prompt written notice to Lender of any litigation or governmental
proceedings pending or threatened in writing against Borrower which, if adversely determined, could
reasonably be expected to result in a MAE.

          Section 5.06 Access to Property.

          Borrower shall permit agents, representatives and employees of Lender to inspect each
Individual Property or any part thereof at reasonable hours upon reasonable advance written notice
and in accordance with Borrower’s reasonable requirements.

          Section 5.07 Notice of Default.

          Borrower shall promptly advise Lender of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, in
each case to the extent Borrower has knowledge thereof.

          Section 5.08 Cooperate in Legal Proceedings.

          Borrower shall at Borrower’s reasonable expense cooperate fully with Lender with respect to
any proceedings before any court, board or other Governmental Authority which could reasonably be
expected to in any material adverse way affect the rights of Lender hereunder or any rights
obtained by Lender under any of the other Loan Documents and, in connection therewith, permit
Lender, at its election, to participate in any such proceedings.

          Section 5.09 Performance by Borrower.

          Borrower shall in a timely manner observe, perform and fulfill in all material respects each
and every covenant, term and provision to be observed and performed by Borrower under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendments, modifications or changes thereto.

          Section 5.10 Awards; Insurance Proceeds.

          Subject to the terms and conditions of Article VIII hereof, Borrower shall cooperate with
Lender in obtaining for Lender the benefits of any Awards or Insurance Proceeds lawfully or
equitably payable in connection with any Individual Property, and Lender shall be reimbursed for
any actual reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection therewith (including
reasonable, actual attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and the payment by Borrower of

-48-

 

the expense of an appraisal on behalf of Lender in case of a Casualty or Condemnation
affecting any Individual Property or any part thereof) out of such Awards or Insurance Proceeds.

          Section 5.11 Financial Reporting.

          (a) Borrower shall, and shall cause, Borrower Principal to, keep adequate books and records of
account in accordance with GAAP, or in accordance with other methods reasonably acceptable to
Lender in its sole discretion, consistently applied and shall furnish to Lender:

     (i) prior to a Securitization, monthly (commencing in March, 2006), and following a
Securitization, quarterly and annual certified rent rolls signed and dated by Borrower,
detailing the names of all Tenants of the Improvements, the portion of Improvements (in
terms of square footage) occupied by each Tenant, the base rent, additional rent and any
other charges payable under each Lease (including annual store sales required to be reported
by Tenant under any Lease), and the term of each Lease, including the commencement and
expiration dates and any tenant extension, expansion or renewal options, the extent to which
any Tenant is in default under any Lease, and any other information as is reasonably
required by Lender, within thirty (30) days after the end of each fiscal month, forty-five
(45) days after the end of each fiscal quarter or ninety (90) days after the close of each
fiscal year of Borrower;

     (ii) prior to a Securitization, monthly (commencing in March, 2006), and following a
Securitization, quarterly, so-called “four walls” operating statements for each Individual
Property and for the Property in the aggregate, including calculations of EBITDA, which
shall be prepared and certified by Borrower, within thirty (30) days after the end of each
fiscal month or forty-five (45) days after the end of each fiscal quarter, as applicable;

     (iii) prior to a Securitization, monthly (commencing in March, 2006), and following a
Securitization, quarterly, unaudited financial statements of Borrower and Borrower
Principal, which shall be prepared and certified by Borrower, within thirty (30) days after
the end of each fiscal month or forty-five (45) days after the end of each fiscal quarter,
as applicable;

     (iv) annual balance sheets, profit and loss statements, statements of cash flows, and
statements of change in financial position of Borrower and Borrower Principal audited by an
Acceptable Accountant, within ninety (90) days after the close of each fiscal year of
Borrower;

     (v) an Annual Budget of Borrower not later than forty-five (45) days after the
commencement of each fiscal year of Borrower in form reasonably satisfactory to Lender. In
the event that Lender reasonably objects to a proposed Annual Budget submitted by Borrower,
Lender shall advise Borrower of such reasonable objections within fifteen (15) days after
receipt thereof (and deliver to Borrower a reasonably detailed description of such
objections) and Borrower shall promptly revise such Annual Budget and resubmit the same to
Lender. Lender shall advise Borrower of any

-49-

 

reasonable objections to such revised Annual Budget within ten (10) days after receipt
thereof (and deliver to Borrower a reasonably detailed description of such objections) and
Borrower shall promptly revise the same in accordance with the process described in this
subsection until Lender reasonably approves the Annual Budget. Until such time that Lender
approves a proposed Annual Budget, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed, the most recent Annual Budget shall apply; provided that, such most
recent Annual Budget shall be adjusted to reflect actual increases in Taxes and Insurance
Premiums. Any failure by Lender to object to a proposed Annual Budget within the time
periods provided herein shall be deemed approval by Lender of such proposed Annual Budget;
and

     (vi) (A) annual audited financial statements of Lease Guarantor within ninety (90) days
after the close of each fiscal year of Lease Guarantor and (B) quarterly unaudited financial
statements of Lease Guarantor within forty-five (45) days after the end of each fiscal
quarter.

     (b) Upon request from Lender, Borrower shall promptly furnish to Lender:

     (i) a property management report for each Individual Property, showing the number of
inquiries made and/or rental applications received from tenants or prospective tenants and
deposits received from tenants and any other information requested by Lender, in reasonable
detail and certified by Borrower under penalty of perjury to be true and complete in all
material respects, but no more frequently than each fiscal quarter;

     (ii) an accounting of all security deposits held in connection with any Lease of any
part of each Individual Property, including the name and identification number of the
accounts in which such security deposits are held, the name and address of the financial
institutions in which such security deposits are held and the name of the Person to contact
at such financial institution, along with any authority or release necessary for Lender to
obtain information regarding such accounts directly from such financial institutions; and

     (iii) a report of all letters of credit provided by any Tenant in connection with any
Lease of any part of each Individual Property, including the account numbers of such letters
of credit, the names and addresses of the financial institutions that issued such letters of
credit and the names of the Persons to contact at such financial institutions, along with
any authority or release necessary for Lender to obtain information regarding such letters
of credit directly from such financial institutions.

     (c) Borrower shall comply in all material respects with the following:

     (i) Borrower shall deliver the information required to be delivered pursuant to
Section 13.04(a) hereof.

     (ii) Intentionally omitted.

     (iii) All financial statements provided by Borrower hereunder pursuant to Section
5.11(c)(i) hereof shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, and shall meet the
requirements of Regulation S-X and other applicable legal requirements provided the

-50-

 

same shall, subject to Section 5.11(f) below, be required with respect to the
Properties on an aggregate basis only. All financial statements referred to in Section
5.11(c)(i) shall be audited by Acceptable Accountants in accordance with Regulation S-X
and all other applicable legal requirements, shall be accompanied by the manually executed
report of the independent accountants thereon, which report shall meet the requirements of
Regulation S-X and all other applicable legal requirements, and shall be further accompanied
by a manually executed written consent of the Acceptable Accountants, in form and substance
reasonably acceptable to Lender, to the inclusion of such financial statements in any
Disclosure Document and any Exchange Act Filing and to the use of the name of such
Acceptable Accountants and the reference to such Acceptable Accountants as “experts” in any
Disclosure Document and Exchange Act Filing (as defined below), all of which shall be
provided at the same time as the related financial statements are required to be provided.
All financial statements (audited or unaudited) provided by Borrower under this Section
5.11 shall be certified by the chief financial officer or administrative member of
Borrower, which certification shall state that such financial statements meet the
requirements set forth in the first sentence of this Section 5.11(c)(iii).

     (iv) If requested by Lender, Borrower shall provide Lender, promptly upon request, with
any other or additional financial statements, or financial, statistical or operating
information, as Lender shall determine to be required pursuant to Regulation S-X or any
amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other legal requirements in connection
with any Disclosure Document or any filing under or pursuant to the Exchange Act in
connection with or relating to a Securitization (hereinafter an “Exchange Act
Filing”) or as shall otherwise be reasonably requested by Lender subject to Section
5.11(f).

     (v) In the event Lender determines, in connection with a Securitization, that the
financial statements required in order to comply with Regulation S-X or other legal
requirements are other than as provided herein, then notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 5.11(c) hereof, Lender may request, and Borrower shall promptly provide,
such combination of Acquired Property Statement and/or Standard Statements or such other
financial statements as Lender determines to be necessary or appropriate for such
compliance.

     (vi) Any reports, statements or other information required to be delivered under this
Agreement shall be delivered in paper form and in the event that Lender requires financial
statements in connection with subsection (c) above because the Loan when combined with the
principal amount of any Affiliated Loans equals or exceeds 20% of the aggregate principal
amount of all mortgage loans included in a Securitization (defined below), Borrower shall
deliver such reports, statements and other information (A) on a diskette, and (B) if
requested by Lender and within the capabilities of Borrower’s data systems without change or
modification thereto, in electronic form and prepared using Microsoft Word for Windows or
WordPerfect for Windows files (which files may be prepared using a spreadsheet program and
saved as word processing files).

-51-

 

          (d) Borrower shall furnish Lender with such other additional financial or management
information with respect to Borrower and Borrower Principal (including applicable state and federal
tax returns to the extent applicable or filed) as may, from time to time, be reasonably required by
Lender in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender (including, without limitation, any
financial reports required to be delivered by any Tenant or any guarantor of any Lease and actually
delivered to Borrower pursuant to the terms of such Lease), and shall furnish to Lender and its
agents facilities for the examination and audit of any such books and records.

          (e) All items requiring the certification of Borrower shall, except where Borrower is an
individual, require a certificate executed by the general partner, managing member, chief executive
officer or chief financial officer of Borrower (and the same rules shall apply to any sole
shareholder, general partner or managing member which is not an individual).

          (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.11, Borrower shall not be
required to provide any financial statements with respect to any Person or property other than the
Property and Borrower, Borrower Principal and Lease Guarantor. In no event shall Borrower be
required under this Section 5.11 to deliver any financial statements or other information
with respect to any Tenant or BTDS.

          Section 5.12 Estoppel Statement.

          (a) After request by Lender at reasonable intervals (but not more than once annually except to
the extent the request is being made by Lender in connection with a potential Securitization in
which the Loan is intended to be included), Borrower shall within fifteen (15) Business Days
furnish Lender with a statement, duly acknowledged and certified, setting forth (i) the amount of
the original principal amount of the Note, (ii) the rate of interest on the Note, (iii) the unpaid
principal amount of the Note, (iv) the date installments of interest and/or principal were last
paid, (v) any offsets or defenses to the payment of the Debt, if any, and (vi) that the Note, this
Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents are valid, legal and binding obligations and
have not been modified or if modified, giving particulars of such modification.

          (b) After Lender’s receipt of written request by Borrower (but not more often than once
annually unless the Borrower is transferring the Property in accordance with the terms hereof),
Lender shall within a reasonable period of time, but not more than thirty (30) days after such
request, furnish Borrower with a statement, duly acknowledged and certified, setting forth that the
Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents are in full force and effect and
have not been modified or if modified, giving particulars of such modification. Lender shall use
reasonable efforts to comply with any request Borrower makes pursuant to the preceding; provided,
however, that the failure of Lender to comply will not constitute a default hereunder by Lender.

          (c) Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Lender, promptly upon
request, duly executed estoppel certificates from any one or more Tenants, as required by Lender,
at reasonable intervals with respect to each Tenant (but not more than once annually except to the
extent the request is being made by Lender in connection with a potential Securitization in which
the Loan is intended to be included), attesting to such facts regarding the

-52-

 

related Lease as Lender may require, including, but not limited to attestations that each
Lease covered thereby is in full force and effect with no defaults thereunder on the part of any
party, that none of the Rents have been paid more than one month in advance, except as security,
and that the Tenant claims no defense or offset against the full and timely performance of its
obligations under the Lease.

          Section 5.13 Leasing Matters.

          (a) Borrower may permit Operating Lessee to enter into a proposed Lease (including the renewal
or extension of an existing Lease (a “Renewal Lease”)) without the prior written consent of
Lender, provided such proposed Lease or Renewal Lease (i) provides for rental rates and terms
comparable to existing local market rates and terms (taking into account the type and quality of
the tenant) as of the date such Lease is executed by Borrower (unless, in the case of a Renewal
Lease, the rent payable during such renewal, or a formula or other method to compute such rent, is
provided for in the original Lease), (ii) is an arm’s-length transaction with a bona fide,
independent third party tenant, (iii) does not have a materially adverse effect on the value of the
related Individual Property taken as a whole, (iv) is subject and subordinate to the Mortgage and
the Tenant thereunder agrees to attorn to Lender, (v) does not contain any option, offer, right of
first refusal, or other similar right to acquire all or any portion of the related Individual
Property, (vi) has a base term of less than the term of the applicable Operating Lease, (vii) has
no rent, credits, free rents or concessions granted thereunder that Lender deems unacceptable in
its reasonable discretion, (viii) is written on a form of lease reasonably acceptable to Lender,
and (ix) when taken together with the square footage leased or subleased under any other Lease or
Renewal Lease at the same Individual Property does not exceed 10,000 square feet of such Individual
Property, provided, that, to the extent that a Lease or Renewal Lease is a license agreement to a
Licensed Vendor (as defined in Section 28.4 of the Operating Lease) that complies with the
provisions of Section 28.4 of the Operating Lease, such space licensed to the Licensed Vendor shall
not, when combined with any other Lease or Renewal at the same Individual Property, exceed 20,000
square feet of such Individual Property. All proposed Leases or Renewals (including Renewals of
Schedule 5.13 Leases) which do not satisfy the requirements set forth in this subsection shall be
subject to the prior approval of Lender and its counsel, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld and Borrower shall reimburse Lender for its actual reasonable out of pocket costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Lender in connection with such proposed
Lease. Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender copies of all Leases which are entered into
pursuant to this subsection together with Borrower’s certification that it has satisfied all of the
conditions of this Section. Lender hereby acknowledges the existence of the Leases in effect on
the date hereof which are more particularly described on Schedule 5.13 attached hereto (the
“Schedule 5.13 Leases”) and that the existence of such Schedule 5.13 Leases shall not be a
default under this Agreement, provided, that, any Renewal of a Schedule 5.13 Lease shall be subject
to the provisions of this Section 5.13.

          (b) Borrower (i) shall observe and perform or cause Operating Lessee to observe and perform,
as applicable, in all material respects all the obligations imposed upon the landlord under the
Leases and shall not do or permit to be done anything to impair the value of any of the Leases as
security for the Debt in any manner which could reasonably be expected to cause a material adverse
effect with respect to an Individual Property; (ii) shall promptly send or

-53-

 

cause Operating Lessee to send copies to Lender of all notices of default which Borrower shall
send or receive thereunder; (iii) shall enforce or cause Operating Lessee to enforce all of the
material terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the tenant
thereunder to be observed or performed; (iv) shall not collect any of the Rents more than one (1)
month in advance (except security deposits shall not be deemed Rents collected in advance); (v)
with the exception of the Loan Documents, shall not execute any other assignment of the landlord’s
interest in any of the Leases or the Rents; and (vi) shall not consent to any assignment of or
subletting under any Leases not in accordance with their terms, without the prior written consent
of Lender, provided that, in no event shall Borrower permit, nor shall Lender be obligated to
consent to, any assignment of or subletting under any Operating Lease to (x) the Borrower Principal
and/or (y) any Affiliate of Borrower Principal or any Affiliate of Operating Lessee.

          (c) Borrower may, without the prior written consent of Lender, amend, modify or waive the
provisions of any Lease or terminate, reduce Rents under, accept a surrender of space under, or
shorten the term of, any Lease (including any guaranty, letter of credit or other credit support
with respect thereto) provided that such action (taking into account, in the case of a termination,
reduction in rent, surrender of space or shortening of term, the planned alternative use of the
affected space) does not cause a material adverse effect with respect to an Individual Property,
and provided that such Lease, as amended, modified or waived, is otherwise in compliance with the
requirements of this Agreement and any subordination agreement binding upon Lender with respect to
such Lease. A termination of a Lease with a Tenant who is in default beyond applicable notice and
grace periods shall not be considered an action which could cause a material adverse effect with
respect to an Individual Property. Any amendment, modification, waiver, termination, rent
reduction, space surrender or term shortening which does not satisfy the requirements set forth in
this subsection shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender and its counsel, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and Borrower shall reimburse Lender for
its actual reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees)
incurred by Lender in connection with such action. Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender
copies of amendments, modifications and waivers which are entered into pursuant to this subsection
together with Borrower’s certification that it has satisfied all of the conditions of this
subsection.

          (d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Borrower shall not, without the
prior written consent of Lender, enter into, renew, extend, amend, modify, waive any provisions of,
terminate, reduce Rents under, accept a surrender of space under, or shorten the term of any
Operating Lease except (i) in connection with a release of an Individual Property in accordance
with the terms and conditions of this Agreement or (ii) to the extent specifically permitted
pursuant to Section 5.22 hereof.

          Section 5.14 Property Management.

          At any time during the term of the Loan a Management Agreement exists with respect to any
Individual Property:

          (a) (i) Borrower shall promptly perform and observe all of the covenants required to be
performed and observed by it under the Management Agreement and do all things

-54-

 

necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired its material rights thereunder; (ii) Borrower
shall promptly notify Lender of any default under any Management Agreement of which it is aware;
(iii) Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender a copy of any written notice of default or other
material written notice received by Borrower under any Management Agreement; (iv) Borrower shall
promptly give notice to Lender of any written notice or other written information that Borrower
receives which indicates that Manager is terminating any Management Agreement or that Manager is
otherwise discontinuing its management of any Individual Property; and (v) Borrower shall promptly
enforce the performance and observance of all of the material covenants required to be performed
and observed by Manager under the Management Agreement, including, without limitation, causing the
Property to be operated, maintained and managed at all times in a manner consistent with the
standards for the operation, management and maintenance of the Property as set forth in the
Management Agreement.

          (b) If at any time, (i) Manager shall become insolvent or a debtor in a bankruptcy proceeding,
(ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; or (iii) a material default by Manager has
occurred and is continuing under any Management Agreement, at the written direction of Lender,
Borrower shall terminate such Management Agreement upon thirty (30) days prior notice to Manager
and replace Manager with a Qualified Manager approved by Lender on terms and conditions reasonably
satisfactory to Lender, it being understood and agreed that the management fee for such replacement
manager shall not exceed then prevailing market rates.

          (c) Borrower shall not take the following actions: (i) surrender, terminate or cancel any
Management Agreement or otherwise replace Manager or enter into any other management agreement with
respect to the related Individual Property except as permitted by the terms of this Loan Agreement
or any other Loan Document; (ii) reduce or consent to the reduction of the term of the Management
Agreement; (iii) increase or consent to the increase of the amount of any charges under the
Management Agreement; or (iv) otherwise modify, change, supplement, alter or amend, or waive or
release any of its rights and remedies under any Management Agreement in any material respect.
Borrower shall not replace the Manager at any time during the term of the Loan pursuant to this
subsection with any Person that is not a Qualified Manager.

          (d) Borrower shall not pledge, transfer, assign, mortgage, encumber or allow to be encumbered,
its interest in the Management Agreement or any interest therein except to Lender as provided in
the Loan Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, and except to the extent permitted or required
under this Agreement, Borrower shall not consent to any assignment by the Manager of the Manager’s
interest in the Management Agreement or its rights and interests thereunder.

          (e) If during the term of the Loan Borrower replaces Manager with a new property manager that
is an Affiliated Manager, Borrower shall cause to be delivered to Lender an opinion as to

-61-

 

interest in such SMLLC and the admission of the transferee, or (B) the resignation of Member
and the admission of an additional member in either case in accordance with the terms of the Loan
Documents and the LLC Agreement), any Person acting as Independent Director of such SMLLC shall
without any action of any other Person and simultaneously with the Member ceasing to be the member
of such SMLLC, automatically be admitted to such SMLLC (“Special Member”) and shall
continue such SMLLC without dissolution and (ii) Special Member may not resign from such SMLLC or
transfer its rights as Special Member unless (A) a successor Special Member has been admitted to
such SMLLC as Special Member in accordance with requirements of Delaware law and (B) such successor
Special Member has also accepted its appointment as an Independent Director. The LLC Agreement
shall further provide that (i) Special Member shall automatically cease to be a member of such

member of such SMLLC that has no interest in the profits, losses and capital of such SMLLC and has
no right to receive any distributions of such SMLLC assets, (iii) pursuant to Section 18-301 of the

make any capital contributions to such SMLLC and shall not receive a limited liability company
interest in such SMLLC, (iv) Special Member, in its capacity as Special Member, may not bind such
SMLLC, and (v) except as required by any mandatory provision of the Act, Special Member, in its
capacity as Special Member, shall have no right to vote on, approve or otherwise consent to any
action by, or matter relating to, such SMLLC, including, without limitation, the merger,
consolidation or conversion of such SMLLC; provided, however, such prohibition shall not limit the
obligations of Special Member, in its capacity as Independent Director, to vote on such matters
required by the Loan Documents or the LLC Agreement. In order to implement the admission to such
SMLLC of Special Member, Special Member shall execute a counterpart to the LLC Agreement. Prior to
its admission to such SMLLC as Special Member, Special Member shall not be a member of such SMLLC.

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

Section 6.04 hereof. Borrower authorizes Lender to file any financing statement or
financing statement amendment reasonably required by Lender to establish or maintain the validity,
perfection and priority of the security interest granted herein. At the reasonable request of
Lender, Borrower shall execute a certificate in form reasonably satisfactory to Lender listing the
trade names under which Borrower intends to operate each Individual Property, and representing and
warranting that Borrower does business under no other trade name with respect to the Individual
Property. If Borrower does not now have an organizational identification number and later obtains
one, or if the organizational identification number assigned to Borrower subsequently changes,

-63-

 

          (b) The organizational documents of each SPE Component Entity (if any) shall provide that the
board of directors of such SPE Component Entity shall not take any action which, under the terms of
any certificate of incorporation, by-laws or any voting trust agreement with respect to any common
stock, requires a unanimous vote of the board of directors of such SPE Component Entity of Borrower
unless at the time of such action there shall be at least two (2) members of the board of directors
who are Independent Directors. Such SPE Component Entity will not, without the unanimous written

(iii) Borrower shall deliver evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender that there has not been and
will not be any breach of the representations and covenants set forth in Article VI hereof
and (iv) no such transfer shall result in the transferee owning more than forty-nine percent (49%)
of the direct or indirect interests in the Borrower if such transferee did not own forty-nine
percent (49%) or more of the direct or indirect interests in the Borrower as of the date hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any transfer permitted under this Section 7.03 results in
any Person owning in excess of forty-nine percent (49%) of the ownership interest in a Restricted
Party, Borrower shall, prior to such transfer, deliver a revised substantive non-consolidation
opinion to Lender reflecting such transfer, which opinion shall be in form, scope and substance
reasonably acceptable in all respects to Lender and acceptable in all respects to the Rating
Agencies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is a single member limited
liability company, no transfer shall be permitted which results in the Borrower having more than
one (1) member.

          Section 7.04 Lender’s Rights.

          Lender reserves the right to condition the consent to a Prohibited Transfer requested
hereunder upon (a) a modification of the terms hereof and an assumption of the Note and the other
Loan Documents by the proposed transferee and a modification of the Loan Documents to the extent
reasonably necessary to reflect the Prohibited Transfer, (b) receipt of payment of a transfer fee
equal to one percent (1%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and all of Lender’s
expenses incurred in connection with such Prohibited Transfer, (c) receipt of written confirmation
from the Rating Agencies that the Prohibited Transfer will not result in a downgrade, withdrawal or
qualification of the initial, or if higher, then current ratings issued in connection with a
Securitization, or if a Securitization has not occurred, any ratings to be assigned in connection
with a Securitization, (d) the proposed transferee’s continued compliance with the covenants set
forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the covenants in Article VI) and the other
Loan Documents, (e) a Qualified Manager for each Individual Property and a Management Agreement
reasonably satisfactory to Lender, and (f) the satisfaction of such other conditions and/or legal
opinions as Lender shall reasonably require. All reasonable actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred
by Lender shall be payable by Borrower whether or not Lender consents to the Prohibited Transfer.
Lender shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any increased
risk of default hereunder in order to declare the Debt immediately due and payable upon a
Prohibited Transfer made without Lender’s consent. This provision shall apply to each and every
Prohibited Transfer, whether or not Lender has consented to any previous Prohibited Transfer.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.04, if any Sale or
Pledge permitted under this Article VII results in any Person and its Affiliates owning in excess
of forty-nine percent (49%) of the ownership interests in a Restricted Party, Borrower shall, prior
to such transfer, and in addition to any other requirement for Lender consent contained herein,
deliver a revised substantive non-consolidation opinion to Lender reflecting such Prohibited
Transfer, which opinion shall be in form, scope and substance reasonably acceptable in all respects
to Lender and acceptable in all respects to the Rating Agencies.

          Section 7.05 Assumption.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article VII, following the date which is six
(6) months from the Closing Date, Lender shall not unreasonably withhold consent to a transfer of
the Property in its entirety to, and the related assumption of the Loan by, any Person (a
“Transferee”) provided that each of the following terms and conditions are satisfied:

          (a) no Default or Event of Default is continuing;

          (b) Borrower shall have (i) delivered written notice to Lender of the terms of such
prospective transfer not less than sixty (60) days before the date on which such transfer is
scheduled to close and, concurrently therewith, all such information concerning the proposed
Transferee as Lender shall reasonably require and (ii) paid to Lender a non-refundable processing
fee in the amount of $5,000 (provided, that, Borrower shall not be required to pay any processing
fee in connection with the first request for approval of a Loan assumption pursuant to this
Section 7.05).

          (c) Borrower shall have obtained Lender’s prior written approval, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld, provided, that, Lender shall have the right to approve or disapprove the
proposed transfer based on its then current underwriting and credit requirements for similar loans
secured by similar properties which loans are sold in the secondary market, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld. In determining whether to give or withhold its approval of the proposed
transfer, Lender shall consider the experience and track record of Transferee and its principals in
owning and operating facilities similar to the Property, the financial strength of Transferee and
its principals, the general business and credit standing of Transferee and its principals and
Transferee’s and its principals’ relationships and experience with contractors, vendors, tenants,
lenders and other business entities; provided, however, that, notwithstanding Lender’s agreement to
consider the foregoing factors in determining whether to give or withhold such approval, such
approval shall be given or withheld based on what Lender determines to be commercially reasonable
and, if given, may be given subject to such conditions as Lender may deem reasonably appropriate.
Lender may withhold its consent to any proposed transfer occurring prior to a Securitization if the
consideration to be paid by the Transferee, as determined by Lender, is less than the appraised
value of the Property (as adjusted as a result of any Property Releases), as determined by Lender
in connection with Lender’s underwriting of the Loan.

          (d) Borrower shall have paid to Lender (i) upon Lender’s approval of the assumption of the
Loan by the then-proposed Transferee, a non-refundable assumption fee in an amount equal to one
half of one percent (0.5%) of the then outstanding principal amount of the Loan and (ii)
concurrently with the closing of the assumption of the Loan and the related sale of the Property,
all reasonable, actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees,
incurred by Lender in connection with the transfer;

          (e) Transferee assumes and agrees to pay the Debt as and when due subject to the provisions of
Article XV hereof and, prior to or concurrently with the closing of such transfer, Transferee and
its constituent partners, members or shareholders as Lender may

-67-

 

reasonably require, shall execute, without any cost or expense to Lender, such documents and
agreements as Lender shall reasonably require to evidence and effectuate said assumption;

          (f) Borrower and Transferee, without any cost to Lender, shall furnish any information
requested by Lender for the preparation of, and shall authorize Lender to file, new financing
statements and financing statement amendments and other documents to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law and shall execute any additional documents reasonably requested by Lender;

          (g) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender, without any cost or expense to Lender, such
endorsements to Lender’s Title Insurance Policy insuring that fee simple title to the Property, as
applicable, is vested in Transferee (subject to Permitted Encumbrances), hazard insurance
endorsements or certificates and other similar materials as Lender may reasonably deem necessary at
the time of the transfer, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender;

          (h) Transferee shall have furnished to Lender the organizational documents of Transferee and
evidence of its good standing, and the qualification of the signers to execute the assumption of
the Debt, which papers shall include certified copies of all documents relating to the organization
and formation of Transferee and of the entities, if any, which are partners or members of
Transferee. Transferee and such constituent partners, members or shareholders of Transferee (as
the case may be), as Lender shall reasonably require, shall comply with the covenants set forth in
Article VI hereof;

          (i) The Manager shall be a Qualified Manager;

          (j) Transferee shall furnish an opinion of counsel satisfactory to Lender and its counsel (A)
that Transferee’s formation documents provide for the matters described in subparagraph (h) above,
(B) that the assumption of the Debt has been duly authorized, executed and delivered, and that the
Note, the Mortgage, this Agreement, the assumption agreement and the other Loan Documents are
valid, binding and enforceable against Transferee in accordance with their terms, (C) that
Transferee and any entity which is a controlling stockholder, member or general partner of
Transferee, have been duly organized, and are in existence and good standing, and (D) with respect
to such other matters as Lender may reasonably request;

          (k) if required by Lender, Lender shall have received confirmation in writing from the Rating
Agencies that rate the Securities to the effect that the transfer will not result in a
qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any rating initially assigned or to be assigned to the
Securities;

          (l) Borrower’s obligations under the contract of sale pursuant to which the transfer is
proposed to occur shall expressly be subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of
this Section 7.05;

          (m) Transferee shall, prior to such transfer, deliver a substantive non-consolidation opinion
to Lender, which opinion shall be in form, scope and substance acceptable in all respects to Lender
and the Rating Agencies; and

-68-

 

          (n) Simultaneously with any such transfer permitted hereunder, any New Mezzanine Loan shall
have been paid in full or the assumption of the Loan and the Transferee shall have been approved by
any New Mezzanine Lender and the New Mezzanine Loan shall have been assumed by an entity related to
Transferee pursuant to the terms of the New Mezzanine Loan Documents.

          A consent by Lender with respect to a transfer of the Property in its entirety to, and the
related assumption of the Loan by, a Transferee pursuant to this Section 7.05 shall not be
construed to be a waiver of the right of Lender to consent to any subsequent transfer of the
Property.

          Section 7.06 Immaterial Transfers.

          Borrower may, without the consent of Lender, (i) make immaterial transfers of portions of the
Property to Governmental Authorities for dedication or public use (subject to the provisions of
Section 8.03), and (ii) grant easements, restrictions, covenants, reservations and rights
of way in the ordinary course of business for access, water and sewer lines, telephone and
telegraph lines, electric lines or other utilities or for other similar purposes, provided that no
such transfer, conveyance or encumbrance set forth in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) shall
materially impair the utility, operation or value of the applicable Individual Property. In
connection with any such transfer permitted pursuant to this Section 7.06, Lender, upon
receipt of written request from Borrower, shall execute and deliver any instrument reasonably
necessary or appropriate, in the case of any transfer referred to in clause (i) above, to release
the portion of the Property affected by such transfer from the Lien of the applicable Mortgage or,
in the case of clause (ii) above, to subordinate the Lien of the applicable Mortgage to such
easements, restrictions, covenants, reservations and rights of way or other similar grants upon
receipt by Lender of:

          (a) thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof;

          (b) a copy of the instrument or instruments of transfer;

          (c) an Officer’s Certificate stating (i) with respect to any such transfer, the consideration,
if any, being paid for the transfer and (ii) that such transfer does not materially impair the
utility, operation or value of the applicable Individual Property; and

          (d) reimbursement of all of Lender’s actual reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred in connection with such transfer.

ARTICLE VIII

INSURANCE; CASUALTY; CONDEMNATION; RESTORATION

          Section 8.01 Insurance.

          (a) Borrower shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be maintained, at all times insurance for
Borrower and each Individual Property providing at least the following coverages:

-69-

 

     (i) comprehensive “all risk” insurance on the Improvements and the Collateral Property,
in each case (A) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the “Full Replacement
Cost,” which for purposes of this Agreement shall mean actual replacement value (exclusive
of costs of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings) with a waiver of
depreciation; (B) containing an agreed amount endorsement with respect to the Improvements
and Collateral Property waiving all co-insurance provisions; (C) providing for no deductible
in excess of $250,000 for all such insurance coverage; and (D) if any of the Improvements
or the use of any Individual Property shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming
structures or uses, providing coverage for contingent liability from Operation of Building
Laws, Demolition Costs and Increased Cost of Construction Endorsements and containing an
“Ordinance or Law Coverage” or “Enforcement” endorsement. In addition, Borrower shall
obtain: (y) if any portion of the Improvements is currently or at any time in the future
located in a “special flood hazard area” designated by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency, flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to the maximum amount of such insurance
available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act
of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended; and (z)
earthquake insurance in amounts and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender
in the event any Individual Property is located in an area with a high degree of seismic
risk, provided that the insurance pursuant to clauses (y) and (z) hereof shall be on terms
consistent with the comprehensive all risk insurance policy required under this subsection
(i);

     (ii) Commercial General Liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily
injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about any Individual Property, with
such insurance (A) to be on the so-called “occurrence” form with a general aggregate limit
of not less than $2,000,000 and a per occurrence limit of not less than $1,000,000; (B) to
continue at not less than the aforesaid limit until required to be changed by Lender in
writing by reason of changed economic conditions making such protection inadequate; and (C)
to cover at least the following hazards: (1) premises and operations; (2) products and
completed operations exposure, if applicable; (3) independent contractors; (4) blanket
contractual liability; and (5) contractual liability covering the indemnities contained in
Article XII and Article XIV hereof to the extent the same is available;

     (iii) loss of rents insurance or business income insurance, as applicable, (A) with
loss payable to Lender; (B) covering all risks required to be covered by the insurance
provided for in subsection (i) above; and (C) which provides that after the physical loss to
the Improvements and Collateral Property occurs, the loss of rents or income, as applicable,
will be insured until such rents or income, as applicable, either return to the same level
that existed prior to the loss, or the expiration of eighteen (18) months, whichever first
occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period; and
(D) which contains an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the
physical loss to the Improvements and Personal Property has been repaired, the continued
loss of income will be insured until such income either returns to the same level it was at
prior to the loss, or the expiration of six (6) months from the date that the related
Individual Property is repaired or replaced

-70-

 

and operations are resumed, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy
may expire prior to the end of such period. The amount of such loss of rents or business
income insurance, as applicable, shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least
once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the gross income from
the related Individual Property for the succeeding period of coverage required above. All
proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender in an
Eligible Account and shall be applied to the obligations secured by the Loan Documents from
time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Note; provided, however, that nothing
herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the
obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the respective dates of payment provided for in
the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are
actually paid out of the proceeds of such loss of rents or business income insurance, as
applicable;

     (iv) at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are
being made with respect to the Improvements, and only if the related Individual Property
coverage form does not otherwise apply, (A) owner’s contingent or protective liability
insurance covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above
mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy; and (B) the insurance provided for
in subsection (i) above written in a so-called Builder’s Risk Completed Value form (1) on a
non-reporting basis, (2) against “all risks” insured against pursuant to subsection (i)
above, (3) including permission to occupy the related Individual Property, and (4) with an
agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions or coverage provided without a
co-insurance provision;

     (v) workers’ compensation, subject to the statutory limits of the State, and employer’s
liability insurance in respect of any work or operations on or about the related Individual
Property, or in connection with such Individual Property or its operation (if applicable);

     (vi) comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, if applicable, in amounts as shall
be reasonably required by Lender on terms consistent with the commercial property insurance
policy required under subsection (i) above;

     (vii) excess liability insurance in an amount not less than $75,000,000 per occurrence
on terms consistent with the commercial general liability insurance required under
subsection (ii) above; and

     (viii) upon sixty (60) days’ written notice, such other reasonable insurance and in
such reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such
other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar
to each Individual Property located in or around the region in which the applicable
Individual Property is located.

          With respect to the Policies required to be maintained pursuant to clauses (i) through (viii)
above, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with those

-71-

 

of prudent owners of institutional quality commercial real estate, to maintain insurance
coverage against Losses resulting from acts of terrorism.

          (b) All insurance provided for in Section 8.01(a) shall be obtained under valid and
enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the
“Policy”), and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance companies,
amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound
and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State and having a claims
paying ability rating of “A” or better by at least two Rating Agencies, one of which must be S&P or
such other Rating Agencies approved by Lender. The Policies described in Section 8.01(a)
shall designate Lender and its successors and assigns as additional insureds, mortgagees and/or
loss payee as deemed appropriate by Lender. Borrower shall deliver abstracts of the Policies and
insurance certificates to the Lender prior to the Closing Date. Not less than ten (10) days prior
to the expiration dates of the Policies required to be maintained hereunder, Borrower shall deliver
to Lender certificates for such Policies which shall be satisfactory to Lender and shall be
accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the
“Insurance Premiums”). Borrower shall deliver abstracts of the Policies (in substance
acceptable to Lender) that are evidenced by the certificates delivered pursuant to the immediately
preceding sentence. Further, upon request of Lender, Borrower shall promptly, or cause Operating
Lessee to promptly (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days after Lender’s request) (i)
permit Lender, or its insurance consultant acting on Lender’s behalf, access to the full blanket
insurance policy at such location that the Borrower or Operating Lessee, as applicable, maintains
such policy (which includes the Policies) for purposes of reading and duplicating such blanket
insurance policy (or the relevant portions thereof as determined by Lender) and (ii) deliver to
Lender copies of all applicable excerpts from the Policies (or full copies of the Policies in the
event the same are required by court order to be produced by Lender or Borrower in connection with
any proceeding or action or claim thereunder or relating thereto) promptly upon request therefor by
Lender, which excerpts shall include (but not be limited to) the insurance companies providing
coverage, the actual coverage provided thereunder, the limits of coverage, applicable endorsements,
and all provisions of the Policies required by Lender to make a determination of loss or otherwise
defend, file, respond or process a claim under or relating to such Policies.

          (c) Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to each Individual Property the
amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder in compliance with the provisions of
Section 8.01(a).

          (d) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 8.01(a), except for the
Policy referenced in Section 8.01(a)(v), shall name Operating Lessee as the insured and
Borrower and Lender as the additional insureds, as their respective interests may appear, and in
the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a
so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the
loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.

          (e) All Policies provided for in Section 8.01(a) shall contain clauses or endorsements
to the effect that:

-72-

 

     (i) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any Tenant
or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might
otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way
affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;

     (ii) the Policies shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage
provided thereby) or canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to
Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured;

     (iii) the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the Policies have not
been renewed thirty (30) days prior to its expiration; and

     (iv) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any
assessments thereunder.

          (f) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required
hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to
take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in any Individual Property,
including, without limitation, obtaining some or all of such insurance coverage as is required in
this Article VIII. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining
such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until
paid, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

          Section 8.02 Casualty.

          (a) If an Individual Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or
other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender
and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the related Individual
Property in accordance with Section 8.04, provided Lender shall make all Net Proceeds
available pursuant to Section 8.04. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration
whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to,
make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. Borrower shall adjust all claims for
Insurance Proceeds which are reasonably anticipated to be in excess of $500,000 in consultation
with, and reasonable approval of, Lender; provided, however, if an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, Lender shall have the exclusive right to participate in the adjustment of all
claims for Insurance Proceeds.

          (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall be obligated to
rebuild or restore the Improvements of the applicable Individual Property following a Casualty to
the extent that the Operating Lessee is obligated to rebuild or restore pursuant to the terms of
its Operating Lease.

          Section 8.03 Condemnation.

          (a) Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any
proceeding for the Condemnation of any Individual Property of which

-73-

 

Borrower has knowledge 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 applicable documents in its possession reasonably
requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute
any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with
them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any
public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (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. 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 an Individual Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning
authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the related
Individual Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 8.04, provided
Lender shall make all Net Proceeds available pursuant to Section 8.04. If any Individual
Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award,
Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been
sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.

          (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall be obligated to
rebuild or restore the Improvements of the applicable Individual Property following a Condemnation
to the extent that the Operating Lessee is obligated to rebuild or restore pursuant to the terms
and conditions of Article XVII of the applicable Operating Lease. In the event a Total Loss (as
defined in the applicable Operating Lease) related to a Condemnation has occurred with respect to
any Individual Property and the Operating Lessee elects not to restore or rebuild in accordance
with Article XVII of the applicable Operating Lease, Borrower shall pay to Lender the Award (such
Award being paid to Lender shall equal the portion of the Award paid to Borrower and the Award paid
to Operating Lessee under the applicable Operating Lease which has been assigned to Borrower, as
landlord, in connection with Operating Lessee’s termination of the Operating Lease as to the
Individual Property that suffered a Total Loss).

          Section 8.04 Restoration.

          The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of an Individual
Property:

          (a) Provided that Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence
and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, the Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt subject to
the prior satisfaction of the requirements set forth in clause (c) below. Borrower hereby
covenants and agrees that it shall not waive, pursuant to Section 17.3(d) of the Operating Lease,
the requirement that Operating Lessee restore in all circumstances other than a Total Loss (as
defined in the applicable Operating Lease).

-74-

 

          (b) The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section 8.04 shall mean: (i) the net
amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 8.01(a)(i),
(iv), (vi) and (vii) as a result of a Casualty, after deduction of its
reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in
collecting the same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award as a result
of a Condemnation, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited
to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting the same (“Condemnation Proceeds”),
whichever the case may be.

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

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

     (B) the Operating Lease applicable to the Individual Property that suffered a
Casualty or Condemnation shall remain in full force and effect during and after the
completion of the Restoration without abatement of rent beyond the time required for
Restoration;

     (C) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable
(but in no event later than 90 days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever
the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory
completion;

     (D) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or
before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date or (2)
such time as may be required under applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or
regulation, or (3) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in
Section 8.01(a)(iii);

     (E) such Individual Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be
in compliance with and permitted under all Legal Requirements;

     (F) the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious
and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;

     (G) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss
of access to such Individual Property or the Improvements; and

     (H) the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by
Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s reasonable judgment to cover the
cost of the Restoration.

     (ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender, and, until disbursed in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 8.04, shall constitute additional security for the
Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by
Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the
Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all the

-75-

 

conditions precedent to such advance, including those set forth in Section
8.04(b)(i), have been satisfied, (B) all materials installed and work and labor
performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested
disbursement) in connection with the related Restoration item have been paid for in full,
and (C) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens
or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature
whatsoever on the related Individual Property which have not either been fully bonded to the
satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the
satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Insurance Proceeds from the Policies required to be
maintained by Borrower pursuant to Section 8.01(a)(iii) shall be held and disbursed
in accordance with Section 8.01(a)(iii).

     (iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be
subject to prior review and acceptance by an independent consulting engineer selected by
Lender (the “Restoration Consultant”). Lender shall have the use of the plans and
specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection
with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen
engaged in the Restoration pursuant to the contracts in excess of $250,000 under which they
have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by the Restoration
Consultant. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net
Proceeds available for the Restoration, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel
fees and disbursements and the Restoration Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.

     (iv) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in
excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place
as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Restoration Consultant, minus the
Restoration Retainage. The term “Restoration Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten
percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration,
as certified by the Restoration Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The
Restoration Retainage shall be reduced to five percent (5%) of the costs incurred upon
receipt by Lender of satisfactory evidence that fifty percent (50%) of the Restoration has
been completed. The Restoration Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything
to the contrary set forth above in this Section 8.04(b), be less than the amount
actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in
the Restoration. The Restoration Retainage shall not be released until the Restoration
Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 8.04(b) and that all approvals necessary for the
re-occupancy and use of the related Individual Property have been obtained from all
appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender
that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the
Restoration Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the
Restoration Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or
materialmen engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Restoration Consultant
certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily
completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the
contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s

-76-

 

contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and
evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman
as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance
Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the
continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium
payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the
Restoration Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a
payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.

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

     (vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in
the reasonable opinion of the Restoration Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the
balance of the costs which are estimated by the Restoration Consultant to be incurred in
connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency
(the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the
Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held
by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the
Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and
until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 8.04(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 Restoration Consultant certifies to
Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 8.04(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that
all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be
remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall
be continuing under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

          (d) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be
returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 8.04(b)(vii) may (x) be
retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable
in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, (y)
at the sole discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for
such purposes and upon such conditions as Lender shall designate.

          (e) 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 then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall
thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure, Lender or other transferee in the event of
such other transfer of title.

ARTICLE IX

RESERVE FUNDS

          Section 9.01 Required Repairs.

          Borrower shall make the repairs and improvements to the Property set forth on Schedule
I (the repairs and improvements that are Required Repairs hereunder are identified as such if
there is a cost for completion set forth in the “Immediate” column of the applicable schedule for
each Individual Property attached hereto as Schedule I) and as such repair or improvement
is more particularly described in the Physical Conditions Report prepared in connection with the
closing of the Loan and delivered by Lender to Borrower prior to the date hereof (such repairs
hereinafter referred to as “Required Repairs”). Borrower shall complete the Required
Repairs in a good and workmanlike manner on or before the date that is twelve (12) months from the
date hereof or within such other time frame for completion, if any, specifically set forth on
Schedule I.

          Section 9.02 Replacements.

          (a) On an ongoing basis throughout the term of the Loan, Borrower shall make capital repairs,
replacements and improvements necessary to keep each Individual Property in a good and safe
condition and repair consistent with past practice, ordinary wear and tear excepted (and subject to
Excusable Delay and the provisions of this Agreement with respect to any Casualty or Condemnation)
including, but not limited to, those repairs, replacements and improvements described in the
Physical Conditions Report for the applicable Individual Property or such other repairs,
replacements and improvements approved by Lender (collectively, the “Replacements”).
Borrower shall complete all Replacements in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as commercially
reasonable after commencing to make each such Replacement.

          (b) Borrower shall establish on the date hereof an Eligible Account (which shall be a
sub-account of the Cash Management Account in Lender’s election) with Lender or Lender’s agent to
fund the Replacements (the “Replacement Reserve Account”) into which Borrower shall deposit
on the date hereof $0.00. In addition, Borrower shall deposit $31,518.33 (the “Replacement
Reserve Monthly Deposit”) into the Replacement Reserve Account on each Payment Date, provided,
however, for such time that no Low EBITDA Period or Event of Default exists, the Replacement
Reserve Monthly Deposit shall be waived. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as
“Replacement Reserve Funds”.

          (c) In lieu of making the deposits pursuant to Section 9.02(b) in cash, Borrower may
deliver to Lender a Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the Required Deposit (the
“Replacement Reserve L/C”). Each Letter of Credit delivered under this Agreement shall be
additional security for the payment of the Debt. Upon the occurrence of, and during the
continuation of, an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, at its option, to draw on any
Letter of Credit and to apply all or any part thereof to the payment of the items for which such
Letter of Credit was established or to apply such Letter of Credit to payment of the Debt in such
order, proportion or priority as Lender may determine. Any such application to the Debt shall
require Borrower to pay any applicable Prepayment Premium. On the Maturity Date, any such

-78-

 

Letter of Credit may be applied to reduce the Debt. In addition to any other right Lender may
have to draw upon a Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender
shall have the additional rights to draw in full any Letter of Credit: (i) with respect to any
evergreen Letter of Credit, if Lender has received a notice from the issuing bank that the Letter
of Credit will not be renewed and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least thirty
(30) days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (ii)
with respect to any Letter of Credit with a stated expiration date, if Lender has not received a
notice from the issuing bank that it has renewed the Letter of Credit at least thirty (30) days
prior to the date on which such Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire and a substitute Letter of
Credit is not provided at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter
of Credit is scheduled to expire; (iii) upon receipt of notice from the issuing bank that the
Letter of Credit will be terminated (except if the termination of such Letter of Credit is
permitted pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or a substitute Letter of Credit
is provided); or (iv) if Lender has received notice that the bank issuing the Letter of Credit
shall cease to be an Eligible Institution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
the above, Lender is not obligated to draw any Letter of Credit upon the happening of an event
specified in (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above and shall not be liable for any losses sustained by
Borrower due to the insolvency of the bank issuing the Letter of Credit if Lender has not drawn the
Letter of Credit.

          (d) Upon the occurrence of a Property Release, provided no Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, Lender shall (i) promptly cause to be returned to Borrower that portion of the
balance, if any, of the Required Repair Funds and the Replacement Reserve Funds attributable to the
Individual Property that has been released pursuant to Section 2.05, or (ii) promptly
reduce the amount of the Replacement Reserve L/C, in the amount of such Letter of Credit
attributable to the Individual Property that has been released pursuant to Section 2.05.

          Section 9.03 Lease Shortfall Reserve Account.

          Borrower shall establish on the date hereof a sub-account of the Cash Management Account for
the deposit of funds in connection with a Low EBITDA Period (the “Lease Shortfall Reserve
Account”). During the existence of a Level 1 EBITDA Period, Borrower shall deposit fifty
percent (50%) of all Excess Cash into the Lease Shortfall Reserve Account and during the existence
of a Level 2 EBITDA Period, Borrower shall deposit one hundred percent (100%) of all Excess Cash
into the Lease Shortfall Reserve Account (amounts on deposit in the Lease Shortfall Reserve Account
are referred to as the “Lease Shortfall Reserve Funds”). All Lease Shortfall Reserve Funds
shall be, and remain, collateral for the Loan until such time that the Debt is paid in full.
Borrower shall not be entitled to any disbursement of the Lease Shortfall Reserve Funds
notwithstanding that the applicable Low EBITDA Period may no longer exist. Upon payment in full of
the Debt, all amounts remaining on deposit, if any, in the Lease Shortfall Reserve Account shall be
returned to Borrower and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto.

          Section 9.04 Required Work.

          Borrower shall diligently pursue all Required Repairs and Replacements (collectively, the
“Required Work”) to completion in accordance with the following requirements:

-79-

 

          (a) Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve all contracts or work orders with
materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or
materials in connection with the Required Work to the extent any such contract or work order
exceeds $250,000. Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall assign any contract or subcontract to
Lender.

          (b) In the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Required Work is not
being or has not been performed in a workmanlike or timely manner and such failure could reasonably
be expected to cause a MAE with respect to an Individual Property, and Borrower fails to cure such
deficiency within ten (10) Business Days after written notice thereof, provided, that, if such
deficiency cannot, by its nature, be cured within such ten (10) Business Day period, Borrower must
initiate and diligently pursue a cure within such ten (10) Business Day period (and thereafter
conduct such cure to completion) then Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement for
such unsatisfactory Required Work and to proceed under existing contracts or, if the contractor
under the existing contract is in default thereof, to contract with other third parties to complete
such Required Work and to apply the Required Repair Funds or the Replacement Reserve Funds, as
applicable, toward the labor and materials necessary to complete such Required Work, after
providing prior written notice to Borrower.

          (c) In order to facilitate Lender’s completion of the Required Work as permitted by subsection
(b) above, Borrower grants Lender the right to enter onto the applicable Individual Property and
perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete the Required Work and/or employ watchmen
to protect each Individual Property from damage. All sums so expended by Lender, to the extent not
from the Reserve Funds, shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to Borrower and
secured by the Mortgage. For this purpose Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and
lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake the Required Work
in the name of Borrower upon Borrower’s failure to do so in a workmanlike and timely manner. Such
power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.
Borrower empowers said attorney-in-fact as follows: (i) to use any of the Reserve Funds for the
purpose of making or completing the Required Work; (ii) to make such additions, changes and
corrections to the Required Work as shall be reasonably necessary or desirable to complete the
Required Work in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Article IX; (iii) to employ such
contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be reasonably required for
such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which in Lender’s
reasonable judgment are validly due and payable and which are or may become Liens against such
Individual Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the Required Work,
or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower
which may be reasonably required by any of the contract documents; (vi) to prosecute and defend all
actions or proceedings in connection with any Individual Property or the rehabilitation and repair
of any Individual Property; and (vii) to do any and every act which Borrower could reasonably be
expected to do on its own behalf to comply with the terms of this Agreement.

          (d) Nothing in this Section 9.04 shall: (i) make Lender responsible for making or
completing the Required Work; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the applicable
Reserve Funds to make or complete any Required Work, (iii) obligate Lender to

-80-

 

proceed with the Required Work; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional
sums to make or complete any Required Work.

          (e) Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives (including, without
limitation, Lender’s engineer, architect, or inspector) or third parties performing Required Work
pursuant to this Section 9.04 to enter onto the applicable Individual Property during
normal business hours (subject to the rights of tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress
of any Required Work and all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and
shop drawings relating to such Required Work which are or may be kept at such Individual Property,
and to complete any Required Work to the extent Lender is permitted to perform and complete any
Required Work pursuant to this Section 9.04. Borrower shall cause all contractors and
subcontractors to cooperate with Lender and Lender’s representatives or such other persons
described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 9.04 or the
completion of Required Work pursuant to this Section 9.04.

          (f) Lender may, to the extent any Required Work would reasonably require an inspection of any
Individual Property, inspect such Individual Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a
disbursement of the Reserve Funds in order to verify completion of the Required Work for which
reimbursement is sought; provided, however, in no event shall the Lender have the right to require
an inspection for Required Work (taking into consideration the project as a whole) estimated to
cost in the aggregate less than $250,000. Borrower shall pay Lender a reasonable inspection fee
not exceeding $1,000 for each such inspection. Lender may require that (at no additional cost to
Borrower) such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional
reasonably selected by Lender and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an
independent qualified professional reasonably acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of the
Reserve Funds. Borrower shall pay the expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether
such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional.

          (g) The Required Work and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other item comprising a
part of any Required Work shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and
clear of all mechanic’s, materialman’s or other Liens (except for Permitted Encumbrances and
subject to Borrower’s right to contest any lien in accordance with Section 5.04(b)
hereof.).

          (h) Before each disbursement of the Reserve Funds for Required Work estimated to cost in
excess of $250,000, Lender may require Borrower to provide Lender with a search of title to the
related Individual Property effective to the date of the disbursement, which search shows that no
mechanic’s or materialmen’s or other Liens of any nature have been placed against the related
Individual Property since the date of recordation of the Mortgage and that title to the related
Individual Property is free and clear of all Liens (except for Permitted Encumbrances).

          (i) All Required Work shall comply in all material respects with all Legal Requirements and
applicable insurance requirements including, without limitation, applicable building codes, special
use permits, environmental regulations, and requirements of insurance underwriters.

-81-

 

          (j) Borrower hereby assigns to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all
Persons supplying labor or materials in connection with the Required Work; provided, however, that
Lender may not pursue any such rights or claims unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains
uncured.

          Section 9.05 Release of Reserve Funds.

          (a) Upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this
Agreement, Lender shall disburse to Borrower amounts from (i) the Required Repair Account to the
extent necessary to reimburse Borrower for the actual costs of each Required Repair (but not
exceeding 125% of the original estimated cost of such Required Repair as set forth on Schedule
I, unless Lender has agreed to reimburse Borrower for such excess cost pursuant to Section
9.05(f)) or (ii) the Replacement Reserve Account to the extent necessary to reimburse Borrower
for the actual costs of any approved Replacements. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in no
event shall Lender be required to (x) disburse any amounts which would cause the amount of funds
remaining in the Required Repair Account after any disbursement (other than with respect to the
final disbursement) to be less than 125% of the then current estimated cost of completing all
remaining Required Repairs for the Property, (y) disburse funds from any of the Reserve Accounts if
an Event of Default exists, or (z) disburse funds from the Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse
Borrower for the costs of routine repairs or maintenance to the Property or for costs which are to
be reimbursed from funds held in the Required Repair Account.

          (b) Each request for disbursement from any of the Reserve Accounts shall be on a form provided
or otherwise reasonably approved by Lender and shall (i) include copies of invoices for all items
or materials purchased and all labor or services provided and (ii) specify (A) the Required Work
for which the disbursement is requested, (B) the quantity and price of each item purchased, if the
Required Work includes the purchase or replacement of specific items, (C) the price of all
materials (grouped by type or category) used in any Required Work other than the purchase or
replacement of specific items, and (D) the cost of all contracted labor or other services
applicable to each Required Work for which such request for disbursement is made. With each
request Borrower shall certify that all Required Work has been performed in compliance in all
material respects with all Legal Requirements. Except as provided in Section 9.05(d), each
request for disbursement shall be made only after completion of the Required Repair, Replacement
(or the portion thereof completed in accordance with Section 9.05(d)), as applicable, for
which disbursement is requested. Borrower shall provide Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to
Lender of such completion or performance.

          (c) Borrower shall pay all invoices in connection with the Required Work with respect to which
a disbursement is requested prior to submitting such request for disbursement from the Reserve
Accounts 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 the Required Work. 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 disbursement of the
Reserve Funds. In addition, as a condition to any disbursement, Lender may require Borrower to
obtain lien waivers from each contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor who
receives payment in an amount equal to

-82-

 

or greater than $100,000 for completion of its work or delivery of its materials. Any lien
waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to all Legal Requirements and shall cover all work
performed and materials supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for the related Individual
Property by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date
covered by the current disbursement 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).

          (d) If (i) the cost of any item of Required Work exceeds $50,000 and (ii) the contractor
performing such Required Work requires periodic payments pursuant to terms of a written contract, a
request for disbursement from the Reserve Accounts may be made after completion of a portion of the
work under such contract, provided (A) such contract requires payment upon completion of such
portion of work, (B) the materials for which the request is made are on site at the related
Individual Property and are properly secured or have been installed in the related Individual
Property, (C) all other conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, and (D)
in the case of a Replacement, funds remaining in the Replacement Reserve Account are, in Lender’s
reasonable judgment, sufficient to complete such Replacement and the other Replacements specified
in Schedule II (and which have not yet been completed and paid in full).

          (e) Borrower shall not make a request for, nor shall Lender have any obligation to make, any
disbursement from any Reserve Account more frequently than once in any calendar month and (except
in connection with the final disbursement) in any amount less than the lesser of (i) $10,000 or
(ii) the total cost of the Required Work for which the disbursement is requested.

          (f) In the event any Borrower requests a disbursement from the Required Repair Account to
reimburse Borrower for the actual cost of labor or materials used in connection with repairs or
improvements other than the Required Repairs specified on Schedule I, or for a Required
Repair to the extent the cost of such Required Repair exceeds 125% of the estimated cost of such
Required Repair as set forth on Schedule I (in either case, an “Additional Required
Repair”), Borrower shall disclose in writing to Lender the reason why funds in the Required
Repair Account should be used to pay for such Additional Required Repair. If Lender reasonably
determines that (i) such Additional Required Repair is of the type intended to be covered by the
Required Repair Account, (ii) such Additional Required Repair is not covered or is not of the type
intended to be covered by the Replacement Reserve Account, (iii) costs for such Additional Required
Repair are reasonable, (iv) the funds in the Required Repair Account are sufficient to pay for such
Additional Required Repair and all other Required Repairs for the related Individual Property
specified on Schedule I, and (v) all other conditions for disbursement under this Agreement
have been met, Lender shall disburse funds from the Required Repair Account in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this Section 9.05.

          (g) In the event any Borrower requests a disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account to
reimburse Borrower for the actual cost of labor or materials used in connection with repairs or
improvements other than the Replacements specified in the Physical Conditions Report prepared in
connection with the closing of the Loan (an “Additional Replacement”), Borrower shall
disclose in writing to Lender the reason why funds in the

-83-

 

Replacement Reserve Account should be used to pay for such Additional Replacement. If Lender
reasonably determines that (i) such Additional Replacement is of the type intended to be covered by
the Replacement Reserve Account, (ii) such Additional Replacement is not covered or is not of the
type intended to be covered by the Required Repair Account, (iii) costs for such Additional
Replacement are reasonable, (iv) the funds in the Replacement Reserve Account are sufficient to pay
for such Additional Replacement and all other Replacements for the Property specified in
Schedule II (and which have not yet been completed and paid in full), and (v) all other
conditions for disbursement under this Agreement have been met, Lender may disburse funds from the
Replacement Reserve Account in accordance with this Section 9.05.

          (h) Lender’s disbursement of any Reserve Funds or other acknowledgment of completion of any
Required Work in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Lender shall not be deemed a certification or
warranty by Lender to any Person that the Required Work has been completed in accordance with Legal
Requirements.

          (i) If the funds in any Reserve Account should exceed the amount of payments actually applied
by Lender for the purposes of the account, Lender shall, at Borrower’s option, promptly either
return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to that
Reserve Account. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Reserve Funds are not or
will not be sufficient to make the required payments, Lender shall notify Borrower of such
determination and Borrower shall pay to Lender any amount necessary to make up the deficiency
within ten (10) days after written notice from Lender to Borrower requesting payment thereof.

          (j) The insufficiency of any balance in any of the Reserve Accounts shall not relieve Borrower
from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.

          (k) Upon the earlier to occur of (i) the timely completion of all Required Repairs and any
Additional Required Repairs, if any, in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, as
verified by Lender in its reasonable discretion, or (ii) the payment in full of the Debt, all
amounts remaining on deposit, if any, in the Required Repair Account shall be returned to Borrower
and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto.

          (l) Upon payment in full of the Debt, all amounts remaining on deposit, if any, in the
Replacement Reserve Account shall be returned to Borrower and no other party shall have any right
or claim thereto.

          Section 9.06 Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds.

          Borrower shall establish on the date hereof an Eligible Account with Lender or Lender’s agent
sufficient to discharge Borrower’s obligations for the payment of Taxes and Insurance Premiums
pursuant to Section 5.04 and Section 8.01 hereof, respectively (the “Tax and
Insurance Reserve Account”) into which Borrower shall deposit on the date hereof $0, which
amount, when added to the required monthly deposits set forth in the next sentence, is sufficient
to make the payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums as required herein, provided, however, for
such time that no Low EBITDA Period or Event of Default exists, deposits required to be

-84-

 

made into the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account pursuant to this Section 9.06 shall be
waived. During the existence of an Event of Default or a Low EBITDA Period, Borrower shall deposit
into the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account on each Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes that
Lender reasonably estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months or such
higher amount necessary to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least
thirty (30) days prior to the earlier of (i) the date that the same will become delinquent and (ii)
the date that additional charges or interest will accrue due to the non-payment thereof, and (b)
except to the extent Lender has waived the insurance escrow because the insurance required
hereunder is maintained under a blanket insurance Policy reasonably acceptable to Lender in
accordance with Section 8.01(c), one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender
reasonably estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months for the renewal of
the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof or such higher amount necessary
to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30)
days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called
the “Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds”). Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Reserve
Funds to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to
Section 5.04 and Section 8.01 hereof, respectively. In making any disbursement
from the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account, Lender may do so in good faith according to any bill,
statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or tax lien service (with respect
to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the
accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale,
forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Reserve
Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section
5.04 and Section 8.01 hereof, respectively, Lender shall, at Borrower’s option,
promptly return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to
the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account. In allocating any such excess, Lender may deal with the
person shown on Lender’s records as being the owner of the related Individual Property. Any amount
remaining in the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account after the Debt has been paid in full shall be
returned to Borrower and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto. If at any time
Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds are not or will not be
sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender
shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall pay to Lender any amount necessary
to make up the deficiency within ten (10) days after written notice from Lender to Borrower
requesting payment thereof.

          Section 9.07 Excess Cash Reserve Account.

          Borrower shall establish on the date hereof an Eligible Account into which Borrower shall
deposit all Excess Cash After Lease Shortfall Deposits on each Payment Date during the continuance
of any default under a New Mezzanine Loan, if any, or Event of Default (the “Excess Cash
Reserve Account”). Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Excess
Cash Reserve Funds” and shall be collateral for the Loan. Sums from the Excess Cash Reserve
Account shall be disbursed to Borrower upon the earlier to occur of (a) payment in full of the Debt
or (b) the cure of all Events of Default to the satisfaction of Lender.

-85-

 

          Section 9.08 Reserve Funds Generally.

          (a) (i) No earnings or interest on the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account shall be payable to
Borrower. Neither Lender nor any loan servicer that at any time holds or maintains the Tax and
Insurance Reserve Account shall have any obligation to keep or maintain the Tax and Insurance
Reserve Account or any funds deposited therein in interest-bearing accounts. If Lender or any such
loan servicer elects in its sole and absolute discretion to keep or maintain the Tax and Insurance
Reserve Account or any funds deposited therein in an interest-bearing account, the account shall be
an Eligible Account and (A) such funds shall not be invested except in Permitted Investments, and
(B) all interest earned or accrued thereon shall be for the account of and be retained by Lender or
such loan servicer.

     (ii) Funds deposited in the other Reserve Accounts except for the Tax and Insurance
Reserve Account, shall be held in an interest-bearing business savings account and interest
shall be credited to Borrower. In no event shall Lender or any loan servicer that at any
time holds or maintains such Reserve Accounts be required to select any particular
interest-bearing account or the account that yields the highest rate of interest, provided
that selection of the account shall be consistent with the general standards at the time
being utilized by Lender or the loan servicer, as applicable, in establishing similar
accounts for loans of comparable type. All such interest shall be and become part of the
such Reserve Account and shall be disbursed in accordance with Section 9.05 above;
provided, however, that Lender may, at its election, apply toward the repayment of the Debt
any such interest during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default. Borrower
agrees that it shall include all interest on Reserve Funds as the income of Borrower (and,
if Borrower is a partnership or other pass-through entity, the partners, members or
beneficiaries of Borrower, as the case may be), and shall be the owner of the funds in the
Reserve Accounts for federal and applicable state and local tax purposes.

          (b) Borrower grants to Lender a first priority security interest in, and assigns and pledges
to Lender, each of the Reserve Accounts and any and all Reserve Funds now or hereafter deposited in
the Reserve Accounts as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in
accordance herewith, the Reserve Accounts and the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional
security for the Debt. The provisions of this Section 9.08 are intended to give Lender or
any subsequent holder of the Loan “control” of the Reserve Accounts within the meaning of the UCC.

          (c) The Reserve Accounts and any and all Reserve Funds now or hereafter deposited in the
Reserve Accounts shall be subject to the exclusive dominion and control of Lender, which shall hold
the Reserve Accounts and any or all Reserve Funds now or hereafter deposited in the Reserve
Accounts subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Borrower shall have no right of
withdrawal from the Reserve Accounts or any other right or power with respect to the Reserve
Accounts or any or all of the Reserve Funds now or hereafter deposited in the Reserve Accounts,
except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

          (d) Lender shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Borrower, without charge, an annual
accounting of each Reserve Account in the normal format of Lender or its loan

-86-

 

servicer, showing credits and debits to such Reserve Account and the purpose for which each
credit or debit to each Reserve Account was made.

          (e) As long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall make
disbursements from the Reserve Accounts in accordance with this Agreement. All such disbursements
contemplated by Section 9.05 hereof shall be deemed to have been expressly pre-authorized
by Borrower, and shall not be deemed to constitute the exercise by Lender of any remedies against
Borrower unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Lender has expressly stated
in writing its intent to proceed to exercise its remedies as a secured party, pledgee or lienholder
with respect to the Reserve Accounts.

          (f) If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, Borrower shall immediately lose all of
its rights to receive disbursements from the Reserve Accounts until the earlier to occur of (i) the
date on which such Event of Default is cured to Lender’s satisfaction, or (ii) the payment in full
of the Debt. In addition, at Lender’s election, Borrower shall lose all of its rights to receive
interest on the Replacement Reserve Account during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of
Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may
exercise any or all of its rights and remedies as a secured party, pledgee and lienholder with
respect to the Reserve Accounts. Without limitation of the foregoing, upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may use and disburse the Reserve Funds (or
any portion thereof) for any of the following purposes: (A) repayment of the Debt, including, but
not limited to, principal prepayments and the prepayment premium applicable to such full or partial
prepayment (as applicable); (B) reimbursement of Lender for all losses, fees, costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees) suffered or incurred by Lender as a result
of such Event of Default; (C) payment of any amount expended in exercising any or all rights and
remedies available to Lender at law or in equity or under this Agreement or under any of the other
Loan Documents; (D) payment of any item from any of the Reserve Accounts as required or permitted
under this Agreement; or (E) any other purpose permitted by applicable law; provided, however, that
any such application of funds shall not cure or be deemed to cure any Event of Default. Without
limiting any other provisions hereof, each of the remedial actions described in the immediately
preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable exercise of Lender’s rights and
remedies as a secured party with respect to the Reserve Funds and shall not in any event be deemed
to constitute a setoff or a foreclosure of a statutory banker’s lien. Nothing in this Agreement
shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Reserve Funds to effect a cure of any
Event of Default, or to pay the Debt in any specific order of priority. The exercise of any or all
of Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents shall
not in any way prejudice or affect Lender’s right to initiate and complete a foreclosure under the
Mortgage.

          (g) The Reserve Funds shall not constitute escrow or trust funds and may be commingled with
other monies held by Lender. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, Lender may
commingle in one or more Eligible Accounts any and all funds controlled by Lender, including,
without limitation, funds pledged in favor of Lender by other borrowers, whether for the same
purposes as the Reserve Accounts or otherwise. Without limiting any other provisions of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Reserve Accounts may be established and held in such name
or names as Lender or its loan servicer, as agent for Lender,

-87-

 

shall deem appropriate, including, without limitation, in the name of Lender or such loan
servicer, as agent for Lender. In the case of any Reserve Account which is held in a commingled
account, Lender or its loan servicer, as applicable, shall maintain records sufficient to enable it
to determine at all times which portion of such account is related to the Loan. The Reserve
Accounts are solely for the protection of Lender. With respect to the Reserve Accounts, Lender
shall have no responsibility beyond the allowance of due credit for the sums actually received by
Lender or beyond the reimbursement or payment of the costs and expenses for which such accounts
were established in accordance with their terms. Upon assignment of the Loan by Lender, any
Reserve Funds shall be turned over to the assignee and any responsibility of Lender as assignor
shall terminate. The requirements of this Agreement concerning Reserve Accounts in no way
supersede, limit or waive any other rights or obligations of the parties under any of the Loan
Documents or under applicable law.

          (h) Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge,
assign or grant any security interest in the Reserve Accounts or the Reserve Funds deposited
therein or permit any Lien to attach thereto, except for the security interest granted in this
Section 9.08, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC financing statements, except those
naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.

          (i) Borrower will maintain the security interest created by this Section 9.08 as a
first priority perfected security interest and will defend the right, title and interest of Lender
in and to the Reserve Accounts and the Reserve Funds against the claims and demands of all Persons
whomsoever. At any time and from time to time, upon the reasonable request of Lender in writing,
and at the sole expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly and duly execute and deliver such
further instruments and documents and will take such further actions as Lender reasonably may
request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the
rights and powers herein granted.

          (j) Borrower hereby authorizes the filing of any financing statements or continuation
statements, and amendments to financing statements, in any jurisdictions and with any filing
offices as Lender may determine, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable to perfect the
security interests granted to Lender in connection herewith. Such financing statements may
describe the collateral in the same manner as described in this Agreement or may contain an
indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as Lender
may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary or prudent to ensure the perfection of the
security interest in the collateral granted to Lender in connection herewith. Borrower shall
promptly reimburse Lender for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Lender in connection with the foregoing.

the Debt remains outstanding, neither Borrower nor any other Person shall open or maintain
any accounts other than the Cash Management Account into which Rents and revenues from the

foregoing shall not prohibit Borrower from utilizing one or more separate accounts for the
disbursement or retention of any other funds relating to the ownership and/or operation of
the Property or that have been transferred to Borrower pursuant to the express terms of this
Agreement.

          (b) Reserved.

          (c) On each Payment Date (and if such day is not a Business Day, then the immediately
preceding day which is a Business Day) commencing the month during which the first Payment Date
occurs, Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to withdraw or allocate to the sub-accounts
of the Cash Management Account, as the case may be, amounts received in the Cash Management
Account, in each case to the extent that sufficient funds remain therefor:

     (i) in connection with the sale of an Individual Property and the release thereof
pursuant to Section 2.05 of this Agreement, an amount equal to the Release Amount
shall be paid to Lender in repayment of the principal balance of the Loan;

     (ii) during the existence of an Event of Default or Low EBITDA Period, funds sufficient

-90-

 

deposit shall be disbursed to the to the New Mezzanine Lender as a distribution from
Borrower to New Mezzanine Borrower;

     (vii) during the existence of a Low EBITDA Period but provided no Event of Default is

to pay the debt service due and payable under the New Mezzanine Loan Documents together with
such other amounts as New Mezzanine Lender notifies Lender are due and payable under the New
Mezzanine Loan, if any at such time shall be deposited with the New Mezzanine Lender;

     (viii) during the existence of a Low EBITDA Period but provided no Event of Default
exists, funds shall be allocated to the Lease Shortfall Reserve Account in amounts required

          (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Borrower acknowledges that Borrower is
responsible for monitoring the sufficiency of funds deposited in the Cash Management Account and
that Borrower is liable for any deficiency in available funds, irrespective of whether Borrower has
received any account statement, notice or demand from Lender or Lender’s servicer. If the amount
on deposit in the Cash Management Account is insufficient to make all of the withdrawals and
allocations described in Section 10.02(c)(i) through (iv) above, Borrower shall
deposit such deficiency into the Cash Management Account within five (5) days (provided that such
five day period shall not constitute a grace period for any default or Event of Default under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document based on a failure to satisfy any monetary obligation provided
in any Loan Document).

          (e) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, Borrower hereby irrevocably
authorizes Lender to make any and all withdrawals from the Cash Management Account and transfers
between any of the Reserve Accounts as Lender shall determine in Lender’s sole and absolute
discretion and Lender may use all funds contained in any such accounts for any purpose in
accordance with applicable law, including but not limited to repayment of the Debt in such order,
proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole and absolute discretion. Lender’s
right to withdraw and apply funds as stated herein shall be in addition to all other rights and
remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan

Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower
hereby grants to Lender a security interest in the Cash Management

-91-

 

Account, all interest, cash, checks, drafts, certificates and instruments, if any, from time
to time deposited or held therein, any and all amounts invested in Permitted Investments, and all
“proceeds” (as defined in the UCC as in effect in the state in which the Cash Management Account is
located or maintained) of any or all of the foregoing. Furthermore, Borrower shall not, without
obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security
interest in any of the foregoing or permit any Lien to attach thereto or any levy to be made
thereon or any UCC Financing Statements to be filed with respect thereto. Borrower will maintain
the security interest created by this Section 10.03(a) as a first priority perfected
security interest and will defend the right, title and interest of Lender in and to the Cash
Management Account against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.

          (b) Borrower authorizes Lender to file any financing statement or statements required by
Lender to establish or maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interest
granted herein in connection with the Cash Management Account. Borrower agrees that at any time
and from time to time, at the expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly and duly execute and
deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be reasonably
necessary or desirable, or that Lender may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any
security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby (including, without limitation, any
security interest in and to any Permitted Investments) or to enable Lender to exercise and enforce
its rights and remedies hereunder.

          (c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may exercise
any or all of its rights and remedies as a secured party, pledgee and lienholder with respect to
the Cash Management Account. Without limitation of the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may use the Cash Management Account for any of the
following purposes: (i) repayment of the Debt, including, but not limited to, principal prepayments
and the prepayment premium applicable to such full or partial prepayment (as applicable); (ii)
reimbursement of Lender for all losses, fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable legal fees) suffered or incurred by Lender as a result of such Event of Default; (iii)
payment of any amount expended in exercising any or all rights and remedies available to Lender at
law or in equity or under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents; (iv) payment of
any item as required or permitted under this Agreement; or (v) any other purpose permitted by
applicable law; provided, however, that any such application of funds shall not cure or be deemed
to cure any Event of Default. Without limiting any other provisions hereof, each of the remedial
actions described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a commercially
reasonable exercise of Lender’s rights and remedies as a secured party with respect to the Cash
Management Account and shall not in any event be deemed to constitute a setoff or a foreclosure of
a statutory banker’s lien. Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any
portion of the Cash Management Account to effect a cure of any Event of Default, or to pay the Debt
in any specific order of priority. The exercise of any or all of Lender’s rights and remedies
under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents shall not in any way prejudice or
affect Lender’s right to initiate and complete a foreclosure under the Mortgage.

-92-

 

          Section 10.04 Definitions.

          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for purposes of this Article X

Borrower of any of the foregoing, made herein, in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate,
report, financial statement or other instrument or document furnished to Lender at the time of the
closing of the Loan or during the term of the Loan shall have been false or misleading in any
material respect when made; provided, however, that if such representation or warranty which was
false or misleading in any material respect is, by its nature, curable and is not reasonably likely

days after notice from Lender in the case of any other default, provided that if such default
cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period and Borrower or Operating Lessee
shall have commenced to cure such default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter
diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, such thirty (30) day period shall be
extended for so long as it shall require Borrower or Operating Lessee in the exercise of due

          Section 11.02 Remedies.

          (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event
of Default described in Section 11.01(f) above) Lender may, in addition to any other rights
or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or at law or in
equity, take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and
enforce its rights against Borrower and in any Individual Property, including, without limitation,
declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any
or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against Borrower and any Individual
Property, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default described in Section
11.01(f) above, the Debt and all other obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or
demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein
or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

          (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or

          (a) provide updated financial, budget and other information with respect to each Individual

          (d) permit site inspections, appraisals, market studies and other due diligence investigations

of the Note or the Rating Agencies or otherwise to effect the Securitization including, without
limitation, bifurcation of the Loan into two or more components and/or separate notes and/or
creating a senior/subordinate note structure; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be
required to modify or amend any Loan Document if such modification or amendment would (i) change
the interest rate or the stated maturity, except in connection with a bifurcation of the Loan which
may result in varying Note Rates for each component thereof, but which shall have the same initial
weighted average coupon of the Note Rate on the Closing Date, or (ii) in the reasonable judgment of
Borrower, modify or amend the loan term or amortization term or any other economic term of the
Loan, except in a de minimis way, (iii) in the reasonable judgment of Borrower, materially increase
Borrower’s obligations and liabilities or decrease Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents,
except in a de minimis way; (iv) cause the Borrower to incur expenses in excess of the $50,000
threshold set forth below in Section 13.02 and the Lender has not agreed to pay such
expenses in excess of $50,000; or (v) affect Borrower’s rights to substitute the Property or prepay
the Loan hereunder;

          (g) deliver to Lender and/or any Rating Agency, (i) one or more certificates executed by an
officer of the Borrower certifying as to the accuracy, as of the closing date of the
Securitization, of all representations made by Borrower in the Loan Documents as of the Closing
Date in all relevant jurisdictions or, if such representations are no longer accurate, certifying
as to what modifications to the representations would be required to make such representations
accurate as of the closing date of the Securitization, and (ii) certificates of the relevant
Governmental Authorities in all relevant jurisdictions indicating the good standing and
qualification of Borrower as of the date of the closing date of the Securitization;

          (h) have reasonably appropriate personnel participate in a bank meeting and/or presentation
for the Rating Agencies or Investors; and

          (i) cooperate with and assist Lender in obtaining ratings of the Securities from two (2) or
more of the Rating Agencies.

          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Borrower covenants and agrees that
after the Closing Date and prior to a Securitization, Lender shall have the right to create a
mezzanine loan (the “New Mezzanine Loan”), to establish different interest rates and to
reallocate the amortization and principal balances of each of the Loan and the New Mezzanine Loan
between each other and to require the payment of the Loan and the New Mezzanine Loan in such order
of priority as may be designated by Lender; provided, that in no event shall the

-102-

 

weighted average coupon of the Loan and the New Mezzanine Loan following any such reallocation
or modification at any time change from the weighted average coupon for all in effect immediately
preceding such reallocation, modification or creation of the New Mezzanine Loan. Borrower shall
execute and deliver, and cause to be executed and delivered, such documents as shall reasonably be
required by Lender in connection with this Section, all in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies, including, without limitation, in connection with
the creation of the New Mezzanine Loan, a promissory note and loan documents necessary to evidence
the New Mezzanine Loan (collectively, the “New Mezzanine Loan Documents”), and Borrower
shall execute such amendments to the Loan Documents as are necessary in connection with the
creation of the New Mezzanine Loan. In addition, Borrower shall cause the formation of one or more
special purpose, bankruptcy remote entities as required by Lender in order to serve as the
borrowers under each New Mezzanine Loan (each, a “New Mezzanine Borrower”) and the
applicable organizational documents of Borrower shall be amended and modified as necessary or
required in the formation of any New Mezzanine Borrower. Further, in connection with the New
Mezzanine Loan, Borrower shall deliver to Lender opinions of legal counsel with respect to due
execution, authority and enforceability of the New Mezzanine Loan and the Loan Documents, as
amended and an updated substantive non-consolidation opinion for the Loan and a substantive
non-consolidation opinion with respect to the New Mezzanine Loan, each as reasonably acceptable to
Lender, prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies. In connection with the New Mezzanine
Loan, Lender shall require, among other things, (i) the formation of one or more special purpose,
bankruptcy remote entities, which shall own all of the direct legal and beneficial ownership
interests in Borrower, (ii) that such New Mezzanine Borrower execute a promissory note with respect
to the New Mezzanine Loan to be evidenced thereby and (iii) that such New Mezzanine Borrower
execute and deliver such other agreements, documents and instruments (including, without
limitation, a pledge agreement pursuant to which each such New Mezzanine Borrower pledge all of its
right, title and interest in and to the legal and beneficial ownership interests in Borrower as
collateral for the New Mezzanine Loan) as Lender may reasonably request to achieve optimum pricing
for the New Mezzanine Loan.

          In connection with the foregoing, in the event Borrower fails to execute and deliver any
documents reasonably required by Lender within ten (10) Business Days, time being of the essence,
following request therefor, Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true
and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all
documents necessary or desirable to effect such transactions, Borrower ratifying all that such
attorney shall do by virtue thereof. It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement, the
Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents if Borrower fails to promptly comply with any of
the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section.

          All costs and expenses incurred by Borrower (including, without limitation, legal fees and
expenses and any costs associated with creating one or more New Mezzanine Loans and obtaining UCC
insurance and mezzanine endorsements to the Borrower’s title policy(ies), in each case, for the
benefit of Lender or any existing or future mezzanine lender) in connection with Borrower’s
complying with the requests and requirements made under this Section 13.05 shall be paid by
Borrower, provided, that, Lender shall be required to pay any reasonable expenses of Borrower that
exceed $50,000. All third party report costs (excluding opinion letters required hereunder) and
Rating Agency expenses shall be paid by Lender.

-103-

 

          In the event that Borrower requests any consent or approval hereunder and the provisions of
this Agreement or any Loan Documents require the receipt of written confirmation from each Rating
Agency with respect to the rating on the Securities, or, in accordance with the terms of the
transaction documents relating to a Securitization, such a rating confirmation is required in order
for the consent of Lender to be given, Borrower shall pay all actual reasonable out-of-pocket costs
and expenses of Lender, Lender’s servicer and each Rating Agency in connection therewith, and, if
applicable, shall pay any fees imposed by any Rating Agency as a condition to the delivery of such
confirmation.

          Section 13.06 Securitization Indemnification.

          (a) Borrower and Borrower Principal understand that certain of the Provided Information may be
included in Disclosure Documents in connection with the Securitization and may also be included in
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange
Act, or provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the
Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization. In the event that the
Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower and
Borrower Principal will cooperate with the holder of the Note in updating the Disclosure Document
by providing all current information necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and
complete in all material respects.

          (b) Borrower and Borrower Principal agree to provide in connection with each of (i) a
preliminary and a final offering memorandum or private placement memorandum or similar document
(including any Investor or Rating Agency “term sheets” or presentations relating to the Property
and/or the Loan) or (ii) a preliminary and final prospectus or prospectus supplement, as
applicable, an indemnification certificate (A) certifying that Borrower and Borrower Principal have
examined certain portions of such memorandum or prospectus or other document (including any
Investor or Rating Agency “term sheets” or presentations relating to the Property and/or the Loan),
as applicable, including without limitation, the sections entitled “Special Considerations,” and/or
“Risk Factors,” and “Certain Legal Aspects of the Mortgage Loan,” or similar sections, and all
sections relating to Borrower, Operating Lessee, Borrower Principal, the Manager, their Affiliates,
the Loan, the Loan Documents, any Operating Lease and the Property, and any risks or special
considerations relating thereto, and that, to the knowledge of Borrower, such sections do not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order
to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading (any of the foregoing actions by Borrower and/or Borrower Principal, in each case,
determined as of the date such information or statement is provided, a “Borrower
Misstatement”), (B) indemnifying Lender (and for purposes of this Section 13.06, Lender
hereunder shall include its officers and directors) and the Affiliate of Lender that (i) has filed
the registration statement, if any, relating to the Securitization and/or (ii) which is acting as
issuer, depositor, sponsor and/or a similar capacity with respect to the Securitization (any Person
described in (i) or (ii), an “Issuer Person”), and each director and officer of any Issuer
Person, and each Person or entity who controls any Issuer Person within the meaning of Section 15
of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Issuer Group”),
and each Person which is acting as an underwriter, manager, placement agent, initial purchaser or
similar capacity with respect to the Securitization, each of its directors and officers and each
Person who controls any such Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the

-104-

 

Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Underwriter
Group”) for any Losses to which Lender or the Issuer Group may become subject insofar as the
Losses arise out of any Borrower Misstatement contained in such sections (including any Investor or
Rating Agency “term sheets” or presentations relating to the Property and/or the Loan) or arise out
of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to
be stated in such sections (including any Investor or Rating Agency “term sheets” or presentations
relating to the Property and/or the Loan) or necessary in order to make the statements in such
sections (including any Investor or Rating Agency “term sheets” or presentations relating to the
Property and/or the Loan) or in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading (collectively the “Securities Liabilities”) and (C) agreeing to reimburse
Lender, the Issuer Group and the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by Lender and Issuer Group in connection with investigating or defending the Securities
Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrower will be liable in any such case under clauses (B) or
(C) above only to the extent that any such Securities Liabilities arise out of or are based upon
any such untrue statement or omission made therein, as of the date such information or statement is
provided, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender or any member of
the Issuer Group or Underwriter Group by or on behalf of Borrower or Borrower Principal in
connection with the preparation of the memorandum or prospectus or other document (including any
Investor or Rating Agency “term sheets” or presentations relating to the Property and/or the Loan)
or in connection with the underwriting of the Loan, including, without limitation, financial
statements of Borrower or Borrower Principal, operating statements, rent rolls, environmental site
assessment reports and property condition reports with respect to each Individual Property. This
indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower and Borrower Principal may
otherwise have. Moreover, the indemnification provided for in Clauses (B) and (C) above shall be
effective whether or not an indemnification certificate described in (A) above is provided and
shall be applicable based on information previously provided by Borrower and Borrower Principal or
their Affiliates if Borrower or Borrower Principal do not provide the indemnification certificate.

          (c) In connection with filings under the Exchange Act or any information provided to holders
of Securities on an ongoing basis, Borrower and Borrower Principal agree to indemnify (i) Lender,
the Issuer Group and the Underwriter Group for Losses to which Lender, the Issuer Group or the
Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Securities Liabilities arise out of or are
based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Provided Information a material fact
required to be stated in the Provided Information in order to make the statements in the Provided
Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading and (ii)
reimburse Lender, the Issuer Group or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by Lender, the Issuer Group or the Underwriter Group in connection with
defending or investigating the Securities Liabilities.

          (d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 13.06 of notice
of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to
be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 13.06, notify the indemnifying
party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party
will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to
any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the
indemnifying party. In the event that any action is brought

-105-

 

against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to
participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to
the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to
assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. After
notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this Section 13.06 the
indemnifying party shall be responsible for any reasonable legal or other expenses subsequently
incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable
costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the
indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably
concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that
are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified
party or parties 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 party or
parties. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one such
separate counsel unless counsel for an indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there
may be legal defenses available to its client that are different from or additional to those
available to another indemnified party.

          (e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the
indemnity agreements provided for in Section 13.06(c) or Section 13.06(d) is or
are for any reason held to be unenforceable by an indemnified party in respect of any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would
otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 13.06(c) or Section 13.06(d), the
indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a
result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided,
however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f)
of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective
parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) the indemnified party’s,
Borrower’s and Borrower Principal’s relative knowledge and access to information concerning the
matter with respect to which claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any
statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the
circumstances. Lender, Borrower and Borrower Principal hereby agree that it would not be equitable
if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.

          (f) The liabilities and obligations of Borrower, Borrower Principal and Lender under this
Section 13.06 shall survive the satisfaction of this Agreement and the satisfaction and
discharge of the Debt.

          Section 13.07 Servicer.

          At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/trustee selected by Lender and
Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents to such servicer/trustee pursuant to a servicing agreement between Lender and such
servicer/trustee.

INDEMNIFICATIONS

          Section 14.01 General Indemnification.

          Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against

or about any Individual Property or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent

Replacements, or (g) the payment of any commission, charge or brokerage fee to anyone which may be
payable in connection with the funding of the Loan (other than for fees imposed or charges by any
broker hired solely by Lender) (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided,
however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder (i) to the extent that
such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful
misconduct of Lender or its agents or representatives or, (ii) with respect to clauses (a)-(e)
above, to the extent that the circumstances giving rise to any indemnification obligation which
Borrower may have under any of clauses (a)-(e) above occurs only after (and not to any degree
before) Lender has taken possession of the applicable Individual Property and Borrower is no longer
in possession of such Individual Property. 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
applicable law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay
and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities
incurred by Lender.

          Section 14.02 Mortgage and Intangible Tax Indemnification.

          Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold
harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses imposed upon or incurred by or
asserted against any Indemnified Parties and directly or indirectly arising out of or in any way
relating to any tax on the making and/or recording of the Mortgage, the Note or any of the other
Loan Documents, but excluding any income, franchise or other similar taxes.

          Section 14.03 ERISA Indemnification.

          Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold
harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in the investigation, defense, and
settlement of Losses incurred in correcting any prohibited transaction or in the sale of a
prohibited loan, and in obtaining any individual prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA that
may be required, in Lender’s sole discretion) that Lender may incur, directly or indirectly, as a
result of a default under Section 4.09 or Section 5.18 of this Agreement.

          Section 14.04 Provided Information Indemnification.

          In addition to, but without duplication of, any indemnification provided pursuant to Article

asserted against any Indemnified Parties and directly or indirectly arising out of or in any
Provided Information.

          Section 14.05 Survival.

          The obligations and liabilities of Borrower under this Article XIV shall fully survive
indefinitely notwithstanding any termination, satisfaction, assignment, entry of a judgment of
foreclosure, exercise of any power of sale, or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the
Mortgage.

ARTICLE XV

EXCULPATION

          Section 15.01 Exculpation.

          (a) Except as otherwise provided herein or in the other Loan Documents, Lender shall not
enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower or Borrower Principal or any SPE Component Entity,
as applicable, to perform and observe the obligations contained herein or in the other Loan
Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower or
Borrower Principal or any SPE Component Entity, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action,
action for specific performance or other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to
enforce and realize upon this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, and
the interest in the Property, the Rents and any other collateral given to Lender created by this
Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that any
judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable only to the extent of Borrower’s or
Borrower Principal’s collective interest in the Property, the Operating Leases, in the Rents and in
any other collateral given to Lender. Lender, by accepting this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage
and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not, except as otherwise provided in this
Section 15.01, sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower or Borrower
Principal or any SPE Component Entity in any such action or proceeding, under or by reason of or
under or in connection with this

-108-

 

Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this
Section 15.01 shall not, however, (i) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any
obligation evidenced or secured by this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage or the other Loan
Documents; (ii) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower or Borrower Principal as a party
defendant in any action or suit for judicial foreclosure and sale under this Agreement and the
Mortgage; (iii) affect the validity or enforceability of any indemnity contained in Articles XIII
and XIV; (iv) impair Lender’s right to enforce its remedies under the Environmental Indemnity and

of a receiver; (vi) impair the enforcement of the assignment of leases provisions contained in the
Mortgage; or (vii) impair the right of Lender to obtain a deficiency judgment or other judgment on
the Note against Borrower, Operating Lessee or Borrower Principal if necessary to obtain any
Insurance Proceeds or Awards to which Lender would otherwise be entitled under this Agreement;
provided, however, Lender shall only enforce such judgment to the extent of the Insurance Proceeds
and/or Awards actually collected or received by Borrower.

          (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 15.01 to the contrary, Borrower
shall be personally liable to Lender for Losses due to (but only to the extent such Losses were
caused by):

   (i) fraud or intentional or willful material misrepresentation by Borrower, Borrower
Principal or any other Affiliate or agent of Borrower, any New Mezzanine Borrower or
Borrower Principal in connection with the execution and the delivery of this Agreement, the
Note, the Mortgage, any of the other Loan Documents, or any certificate, report, financial
statement or other instrument or document furnished to Lender at the time of the closing of
the Loan or during the term of the Loan;

   (ii) Borrower’s or any Affiliate’s misapplication or misappropriation of Rents received
by Borrower and not applied or paid in accordance with the requirements of the Loan
Documents;

   (iii) Borrower’s or any Affiliate’s misapplication or misappropriation of tenant
security deposits or Rents collected in advance and not applied in accordance with the terms
of the Loan Documents;

   (iv) the misapplication or the misappropriation of Insurance Proceeds or Awards by
Borrower or any New Mezzanine Borrower;

   (v) Borrower’s willful refusal to pay Taxes, Other Charges (except to the extent that
sums sufficient to pay such amounts have been deposited in escrow with Lender pursuant to
the terms hereof and there exists no impediment to Lender’s utilization thereof), charges
for labor or materials or other charges that can create liens on any Individual Property
beyond any applicable notice and cure periods specified herein;

   (vi) any act of intentional waste or arson by Borrower, any New Mezzanine Borrower, any
principal, Affiliate, agent, member or general partner thereof or by Borrower Principal, any
principal, Affiliate, agent, member or general partner thereof;

   (vii) Borrower’s willful misconduct; or

-109-

 

   (viii) Borrower’s, any New Mezzanine Borrower’s or any Affiliate’s, failure following
any Event of Default to deliver to Lender upon demand all Rents received and books and
records relating to any Individual Property.

          (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the agreement of Lender not to pursue recourse liability as
set forth in subsection (a) above SHALL BECOME NULL AND VOID and shall be of no further force and
effect and the Debt immediately shall become fully recourse to Borrower and Borrower Principal, on
a joint and several basis in the event (i) of a breach by Borrower or any SPE Component Entity of
any of the covenants set forth in Article VI hereof (other than Sections
6.01(a)(xv) and (xviii)), to the extent that such breach is (A) material and (B) is not
cured within fifteen (15) days of the earlier to occur of notice from Lender or Borrower’s
knowledge of such breach, (ii) of a breach of any of the covenants set forth in Article VII hereof,
(iii) any Individual Property or any part thereof shall become an asset in a voluntary bankruptcy
or insolvency proceeding of Borrower, (iv) Borrower, Borrower Principal or any Affiliate, officer,
director, or representative which controls, directly or indirectly, Borrower or Borrower Principal
files, or joins in the filing of, an involuntary petition against Borrower under any Creditors
Rights Laws, or solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary
petition against Borrower from any Person; (v) Borrower files an answer consenting to or otherwise
acquiescing in or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it, by any other Person under
any Creditors Rights Laws, or solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors for any
involuntary petition from any Person; (vi) any Affiliate, officer, director, or representative
which controls Borrower consents to or acquiesces in or joins in an application for the appointment
of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for Borrower or any portion of any Individual
Property or (vii) Borrower or Borrower Principal or any agent or Affiliate thereof interferes in
any way with Lender’s pursuit of any remedies, including any actions taken consistent with the
commencement of foreclosure proceedings, following an Event of Default.

          (d) Nothing herein shall be deemed to be a waiver of any right which Lender may have under
Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provision of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim
for the full amount of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or to require that all collateral
shall continue to secure all of the indebtedness owing to Lender in accordance with this Agreement,
the Note, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents.

FURTHER ASSURANCES

          Section 17.01 Replacement Documents.

          Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of the Note or any other Loan Document which is not of public record, and, in the case
of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note or other Loan Document,
Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note or other Loan Document, dated the date of
such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or other Loan Document in the same principal amount
thereof and otherwise of like tenor.

          Section 17.02 Recording of Mortgage, Etc.

          Borrower forthwith upon the execution and delivery of each Mortgage and thereafter, from time
to time, will cause each Mortgage and any of the other Loan Documents creating a lien or security
interest or evidencing the lien hereof upon each Individual Property and each instrument of further
assurance to be filed, registered or recorded in such manner and in such places as may be required
by any present or future law in order to publish notice of and fully to protect and perfect the
lien or security interest hereof upon, and the interest of Lender in, each Individual Property.
Borrower will pay all taxes, filing, registration or recording fees, and all expenses incident to
the preparation, execution, acknowledgment and/or recording of the Note, the Mortgage, the other
Loan Documents, any note, deed of trust or mortgage supplemental hereto, any security instrument
with respect to each Individual Property and any instrument of further assurance, and any
modification or amendment of the foregoing documents, and all federal, state, county and municipal
taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection with the execution
and delivery of the Mortgage, any deed of trust or mortgage supplemental hereto, any security
instrument with respect to each Individual Property or any instrument of further assurance, and any

to do, but excluding any income, franchise or other similar taxes.

          Section 17.03 Further Acts, Etc.

          Borrower will, at the cost of Borrower, and without expense to Lender, do, execute,
acknowledge and deliver all and every further acts, deeds, conveyances, deeds of trust, mortgages,

assurances as Lender shall, from time to time, reasonably require, for the better assuring,
conveying, assigning, transferring, and confirming unto Lender the property and rights hereby
mortgaged, deeded, granted, bargained, sold, conveyed, confirmed, pledged, assigned, warranted and
transferred or intended now or hereafter so to be, or which Borrower may be or may hereafter become
bound to convey or assign to Lender, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the
performance of the terms of this Agreement or for filing, registering or recording

-112-

 

each Mortgage, or for complying in all material respects with Legal Requirements. Borrower
hereby authorizes the filing of one or more financing statements and financing statement amendments

created by the Loan Documents in each Individual Property. Borrower grants to Lender an
irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest for the purpose of exercising and perfecting
any and all rights and remedies available to Lender at law and in equity, including without

the extent Borrower fails to perform its obligations hereunder.

          Section 17.04 Changes in Tax, Debt, Credit and Documentary Stamp Laws.

          (a) If any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this Agreement which deducts
the Debt from the value of any Individual Property for the purpose of taxation or which imposes a
tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Debt or Lender’s interest in any Individual Property,
Borrower will pay the tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. If Lender is advised by
counsel chosen by it that the payment of tax by Borrower would be unlawful or taxable to Lender or
unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury then Lender shall have the option by
written notice of not less than one hundred twenty (120) days to declare the Debt immediately due
and payable.

          (b) Borrower will not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of
the Debt for any part of the Taxes or Other Charges assessed against any Individual Property, or
any part thereof, and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of
any Individual Property, or any part thereof, for real estate tax purposes by reason of the
Mortgage or the Debt. If such claim, credit or deduction shall be required by applicable law,
Lender shall have the option, by written notice of not less than one hundred twenty (120) days, to
declare the Debt immediately due and payable.

          If at any time the United States of America, any State thereof or any subdivision of any such
State shall require revenue or other stamps to be affixed to the Note, any Mortgage, or any of the
other Loan Documents or impose any other tax or charge on the same, Borrower will pay for the same,
with interest and penalties thereon, if any.

          Section 17.05 Expenses.

          Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender upon
receipt of written notice from Lender for all actual, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses
(including reasonable, actual attorneys’ fees and disbursements and the allocated costs of internal
legal services and all actual disbursements of internal counsel) reasonably incurred by Lender in
accordance with this Agreement in connection with (a) the preparation, negotiation, execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel required
hereunder (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 any Individual Property);
(b) Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s respective agreements and
covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or
complied with after the Closing

-113-

 

Date, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance
requirements; (c) following a request by Borrower, Lender’s ongoing performance and compliance with
all agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part
to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date; (d) 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
Lender; (e) securing Borrower’s compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of
this Agreement; (f) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees
and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar
expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Lien in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents; (g) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party
claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each
case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any Individual
Property, or any other security given for the Loan; and (h) enforcing any obligations of or
collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with
respect to any Individual Property or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the
credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any
insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the
payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross
negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Section 17.05, expenses relating to any Securitization shall be
governed by Section 13.05.

ARTICLE XVIII

WAIVERS

          Section 18.01 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 or Borrower
Principal 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 shall not be construed to be a
waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or
power consequent thereon.

          Section 18.02 Modification, Waiver in Writing.

          No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement, or of the Note, or of any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by
Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a

-114-

 

writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on Borrower, shall entitle
Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

          Section 18.03 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 18.04 Trial by Jury.

          BORROWER, BORROWER PRINCIPAL AND LENDER EACH HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY
ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY
SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM,
COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER, BORROWER PRINCIPAL AND LENDER, AND IS INTENDED
TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY
WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. EACH OF LENDER, BORROWER PRINCIPAL AND BORROWER IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO
FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY BORROWER,
BORROWER PRINCIPAL AND LENDER.

          Section 18.05 Waiver of Notice.

          Borrower shall not 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 and except with respect to matters for which
Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of
notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect
to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and
expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.

-115-

 

          Section 18.06 Remedies of Borrower.

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

          Section 18.07 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets.

          To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns,

EXHIBIT 10.5

FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE

CREDIT CARD PROGRAM AGREEMENT

     This First Amendment to the Credit Card Program Agreement (“First Amendment”) is made and
entered into as of 12:01 a.m., Chicago time on the 5th day of March, 2006 (“Amendment
Effective Time”) by and between HSBC Bank Nevada, National Association (“HSBC”), and The Bon-Ton
Stores, Inc. (“Bon-Ton”) to that certain Credit Card Program Agreement, dated as of June 20, 2005
(“Agreement”).

     WHEREAS, the undersigned parties desire to amend the Agreement; and,

     WHEREAS, the undersigned parties recognize that Bon-Ton has agreed to purchase from Saks
Incorporated (“Saks”) certain retail locations that comprise the Saks Northern Department Store
Group (“NDSG”) and that Bon-Ton presently anticipates that the closing of Bon-Ton’s acquisition of
NDSG will be completed on March 6, 2006, but will be effective as of 12:01 a.m., Chicago time on
March 5, 2006.

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and agreements set forth
below and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, HSBC and Bon-Ton do hereby agree as follows:

1. Article 1 of the Agreement is amended by adding the following definitions to the end
thereof:

(aaa) “Northern Department Store Group” or “NDSG” means the group of
retail stores purchased by Bon-Ton from Saks Incorporated at or around the Amendment
Effective Time as well as any retail stores subsequently acquired by Bon-Ton or its
Affiliates bearing any of the nameplates Bergner’s, Boston Store, Carson Pirie Scott,
Herberger’s or Younkers; or, if applicable, rebranded to “Bon-Ton” or ”Elder-Beerman”.

(bbb) “NDSG Account” or “NDSG Private Label Account” means an Account
arising from an application accepted at an NDSG retail store.

(ccc) “NDSG Card Sale” means any sale of Goods that Bon-Ton or any of its
Affiliates makes to a Cardholder pursuant to this Agreement and the Cardholder Agreement
that is charged to an NDSG Account.

(ddd) “NDSG Net Credit Sales” means gross NDSG Card Sales, minus Normal Business
Returns and Chargebacks, during the specified period of time that are attributable to NDSG
Accounts.

(eee) “NDSG Portfolio” means the NDSG Accounts.

(fff) “NDSG Prepaid Program Fee” shall have the meaning provided in Schedule 2.5.1.

In addition paragraph (a) of Section 1.1 of the Agreement is deleted and replaced to read in
its entirety as follows:

“(a) “Account” or “Private Label Account” means a private label revolving
credit card account established by Bank for the Cardholder to be used by the Cardholder to
finance the purchase of Goods from Bon-Ton and its Affiliates (including, without
limitation, NDSG) pursuant to the terms of the Cardholder Agreement.”

2. Section 2.1(a) of the Agreement is amended by adding the following paragraphs to the
end thereof:

 

 

“Both parties agree that Bank may provide some or all of the above-referenced services for
the NDSG Portfolio via a subservicer including without limitation Saks or an Affiliate of
Saks, through January 31, 2007 or such earlier date as may be agreed by the parties (“NDSG
Interim Servicing Period”); however HSBC will use best efforts to cause the NDSG Portfolio
to be converted to HSBC systems from Saks’ systems by October 31, 2006. During the NDSG
Interim Servicing Period, the NDSG Portfolio will be serviced at servicing performance
levels consistent with those in the twelve (12) months immediately prior to the Amendment
Effective Time for the NDSG Portfolio. To the extent that the NDSG Portfolio is not
serviced at servicing levels consistent with those in the twelve (12) months immediately
prior to the Amendment Effective Time, HSBC will use all commercially reasonable efforts to
remedy such deficiencies. In addition, during the NDSG Interim Servicing Period, neither
Section 11.2(c) nor Schedule 5.14 will apply to the NDSG Portfolio.

Both parties also agree that until the NDSG Portfolio is converted to HSBC systems, Bank is
under no obligation to provide full color statement production for the NDSG Portfolio and
may provide Bon-Ton with Periodic Program Reporting for the NDSG Portfolio as provided to
NDSG as of the Amendment Effective Time. Following the date on which the NDSG Portfolio is
converted to HSBC systems, Bank will provide full color statement production in the same
or similar manner as provided to Bon-Ton as of the Amendment Effective Time and will
provide Periodic Program Reporting for the NDSG Portfolio as set forth in Schedule 2.7(g).”

3. Schedule 2.1(b)(i) is amended to read in its entirety as set forth in such schedule
attached hereto.

4. Schedule 2.4 of the Agreement is amended to read in its entirety as set forth in such
schedule attached hereto.

5. Section 2.5 of the Agreement is amended by adding the following paragraph to the end
thereof:

“If on the first and any subsequent anniversary of the Amendment Effective Time during the
Initial Term, the sum of (i) NDSG-related net retail sales for the immediately preceding
twelve (12) months plus (ii) any NDSG Unused Credits are 80% or less than the Amendment
Effective Time Sales, Bank shall be entitled to recover and Bon-Ton agrees to pay Bank an
amount equal to the product of (i) 1/6th of the NDSG Prepaid Program Fee, as
defined on Schedule 2.5.1, multiplied by (ii) the difference of (A) 1 minus (B) the
quotient of the sum of (x) NDSG-related net retail sales for the immediately preceding
twelve (12) months plus (y) NDSG Unused Credits, such result divided by (z) the Amendment
Effective Time Sales. The term “Amendment Effective Time Sales” means NDSG-related net
retail sales for the twelve (12) months preceding the Amendment Effective Time. The term
“NDSG Unused Credits” means the aggregate amount, if any, that on the first and any
subsequent anniversary of the Amendment Effective Time during the Initial Term by which
NDSG-related net retail sales for the immediately preceding twelve (12) months exceeds 110%
of the Amendment Effective Time Sales, less any amounts used pursuant to this Section 2.5.”

6. Schedule 2.5.1 is added to the Agreement as set forth in such schedule attached
hereto.

7. Schedule 2.6 of the Agreement is amended to read in its entirety as set forth in such
schedule attached hereto.

8. Schedule 2.7(a) of the Agreement is amended to read in its entirety as set forth in
such schedule attached hereto.

2

 

9. Schedule 2.7(f) of the Agreement is amended to read in its entirety as set forth in
such schedule attached hereto.

10. Schedule 2.8 of the Agreement is amended to read in its entirety as set forth in such
schedule attached hereto.

11. Section 2.12 of the Agreement is deleted and replaced in its entirety to read as
follows:

“Bank will offer a debt cancellation product to Cardholders, including without limitation,
NDSG Cardholders, as set forth in Schedule 2.12.”

12. Section 2.13 of the Agreement is amended by adding the following paragraphs to the
end thereof:

Bank shall offer and support the existing NDSG-related Promotional Credit Plans as of the
Amendment Effective Time. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 2.13, the
cost of maintaining such Promotional Credit Plans shall be borne by Bank. Such Promotional
Credit Plans offered shall have terms, duration, and conditions that are at least as
favorable to Cardholders as those offered in conjunction with NDSG prior to the Amendment
Effective Time. The Year End Settlement Sheet for each Calendar Year shall set forth (i)
NDSG-related Average Private Label Receivables, (ii) NDSG-related Average Promotional
Credit Plan Receivables, and (iii) the Net Yield for such Calendar Year calculated on all
NDSG-related Billed Cardholder Debt.

If the dollar amount of the NDSG-related Average Promotional Credit Plan Receivables as a
percentage of the NDSG-related Average Private Label Receivables for such Calendar Year
exceeds 200 basis points above the same calculation for the previous Calendar Year, there
shall be included on the Year End Settlement Sheet for such Calendar Year (and Bon-Ton
shall pay to Bank within one Month subsequent to such Calendar Year) an amount equal to the
product of (a) the ratio of Net Yield to all NDSG-related Billed Cardholder Debt multiplied
by (b) the dollar amount by which the NDSG-related Average Promotional Credit Plan
Receivables for such Calendar Year exceeds 200 basis points above the same calculation for
the twelve (12) months prior to the Amendment Effective Date.

If the dollar amount of the NDSG-related Average Promotional Credit Plan Receivables as a
percentage of the NDSG-related Average Private Label Receivables for such Calendar Year is
less than 200 basis points below the same calculation for the previous Calendar Year, there
shall be included on the Year End Settlement Sheet for such Calendar Year (and Bank shall
pay to Bon-Ton within one Month subsequent to such Calendar Year) an amount equal to the
product of (a) the ratio of Net Yield to all NDSG-related Billed Cardholder Debt multiplied
by (b) the dollar amount by which the NDSG-related Average Promotional Credit Plan
Receivables for such Calendar Year is less than 200 basis points below the same calculation
for the twelve (12) months prior to the Amendment Effective Date.

13. The Agreement is amended by adding a new Section 4.2 immediately following Section 4.1
to read in its entirety as follows:

“Section 4.2
NDSG Portfolio Cardholder Agreement Terms and Conditions

The NDSG Portfolio Cardholder Agreement Terms and Conditions will be established according
to Schedule 4.2”

3

 

14. Section 11.3(c) of the Agreement is deleted and replaced to read in its entirety as
follows:

“(c) Upon termination of this Agreement by Bank pursuant to Section 11.2(b), Bon-Ton shall
return to Bank a pro rata portion of the Prepaid Program Payment equal to the sum of
1/84th of the Prepaid Program Payment plus 1/75th of the NDSG-related Prepaid
Program Fee, as set forth on Schedule 2.5.1, for each Month that would have otherwise been
remaining in the Initial Term but for the termination of this Agreement.”

15. Promptly after the execution of this First Amendment, HSBC will deliver to Saks a
notice, in form reasonably acceptable to Saks, advising Saks that HSBC has entered into a
program agreement with Bon-Ton that satisfies the conditions set forth in Section 9.05(f)
of the Program Agreement (the “Saks Program Agreement”) among HSBC, Saks and McRae’s, Inc.,
dated as of April 15, 2003, as amended.

16. The parties agree that no additional program launch costs or re-launch costs
including but, not limited to, card reissuance, launch costs, or otherwise will be paid to
Bon-Ton in connection with this First Amendment.

17. Both parties agree that Bon-Ton or Elder-Beerman branded Cards will not be accepted at
NDSG retail stores and that NDSG-branded Cards will not be accepted at Bon-Ton or
Elder-Beerman retail stores (“Cross-acceptance); however, Bank and Bon-Ton shall mutually
agree on changes to the Agreement, if applicable, when such Cross-acceptance occurs.

18. Bank will provide additional support, for the combined Program items including, but
not limited to the following: applications (development and production), plastics (ongoing
and rewards program upgrades and downgrades), card carriers, any necessary HSBC system
modifications to connect to NDSG/Bon-Ton existing systems, and an expanded account
management team including: (i) additional account manager, (ii) additional store
development/marketing manager, (iii) additional portfolio data manager (CRM), and (iv)
additional portfolio administrator; provided that Bank is permitted to provide functional
equivalents for these four (4) expanded account management team positions.

To the extent the provisions of this First Amendment are inconsistent with the Agreement, this
First Amendment shall govern; provided, however, that the parties agree to cooperate in good faith
to further amend the Agreement if it is determined that this First Amendment does not accurately
reflect the full intent of the parties with respect to the incorporation of the NDSG Portfolio into
the Agreement.

This First Amendment supersedes all prior communications and shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties, their respective successors and assigns.

All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning afforded them in the
Agreement.

Except as otherwise modified herein, the terms and conditions of the Agreement remain in full force
and effect.
