since they were delivered to Lender.

          (g) Due Authorization; Enforceability. Each Loan Party and its members, managers,
partners, shareholders, officers and/or directors, as applicable, have taken all necessary action
to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of each Loan Document, and no consent,
authorization or approval of any Person is necessary to authorize each Loan Party to execute,
deliver and perform its obligations under each Loan Document to which it is a party except for the
written consent obtained from the
Persons set forth on Exhibit E, which consents remain in full force and effect, with copies
thereof provided to Lender. Each of the Loan Documents has been duly executed and delivered by or
on behalf of each applicable Loan Party that is a party thereto, and constitutes the legal, valid
and binding obligations of each such Loan Party enforceable against each such Loan Party in
accordance with its terms, and as of the Closing Date there are no defenses, including the defense
of usury, to such enforceability.

6

 

          (h) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of each Loan Document by
each applicable Loan Party does not and will not (i) conflict with or result in or cause any
violation under any Applicable Law, (ii) conflict with or result or cause a breach of any of the
terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan
agreement, partnership agreement, operating agreement or other agreement or instrument to which
such Loan Party is party or by which such Loan Party’s property or assets are subject, (iii) 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 any Loan Party, or (iv) result in any violation of
the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency
or body having jurisdiction over such Loan Party or any of its properties or assets. No Loan Party
is a party or subject to (i) any restriction in its Organizational Documents that materially
affects its business or the use or ownership of any of its properties or operation of its business
as presently used, owned, operated or contemplated or (ii) any contract, agreement or restriction
that materially and adversely affects its business or the use or ownership of any of its properties
or operation of its business as presently contemplated. No Loan Party is a party or subject to any
contract or agreement which restricts its right or ability to incur the Debt, and no Loan Party is
a party or subject to any contract or agreement which restricts its right or ability to enter into
the Loan Documents to which it is a party or which prohibits any Loan Party’s execution or
performance of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the
Borrower’s obtaining the Loan, the Guarantor’s guaranty of the Obligations and the Loan Parties’
providing security for the Obligations as provided herein. No Loan Party has agreed or consented
to cause or permit in the future (upon the happening of a contingency or otherwise) any of the
Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to be subject to a Lien that is not a
Permitted Lien. As of the date hereof, each Loan Party has provided, to the Lender, accurate and
complete copies of all of the following agreements or documents to which such Loan Party is
subject: (a) all Leases with respect to the Properties; (b) all Hotel Management Agreements with
respect to the Properties; (c) all Senior Loan Agreements; (d) all instruments and agreements
evidencing the issuance of any equity securities, warrants, rights or options to purchase equity
securities of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party; and (e) all Organizational
Documents of any Loan Party. All such agreements are in full force and effect and are not
presently subject to termination because of an existing default by a Loan Party or, to the best
knowledge of each Loan Party, otherwise. Except to the extent obtained and delivered to Lender in
writing prior to the Closing Date, no registration, qualification, designation, declaration or
filing with, any Person or any Governmental
Authority (other than the filing of financing statements and continuation statements) is or
will be necessary in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan
Documents by each Loan Party a party thereto, consummation by each Loan Party a party thereto of
the transactions herein or therein contemplated, including the Borrower’s obtaining the Loan, the
Guarantors’ guaranty of the Obligations and the Loan Parties’ granting security for the
Obligations, performance of or compliance by each Loan Party a party thereto with the terms and
conditions hereof or thereof or the legality, validity and enforceability hereof or thereof.

7

 

          (i) Governmental Consents. Other than the permits and licenses referred to in Section
3.1(bb), no other consent, approval, authorization or order of, or qualification with, any court or
Governmental Authority or any Person is required in connection with the execution, delivery or
performance by any Loan Party of the Loan Documents.

          (j) No Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by
or before any Governmental Authority or Person now pending against or affecting the Properties, the
Collateral or any Loan Party other than such actions, suits or proceedings (A) described in Exhibit
C or (B) which has a maximum potential liability less than of $50,000.00.

          (k) No Restriction. No Loan Party is in default (after any applicable notice and
grace period) 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 which could have a
Material Adverse Effect.

          (l) Ownership Interests. The Ownership Chart attached hereto as Exhibit D (the
“Ownership Chart”) is true, correct and complete as of the Closing Date. Except as set forth on
Exhibit D, no other Person has any direct or indirect ownership interest in the Properties, SHP
Subsidiaries or Borrower.

          (m) Chief Executive Office. Borrower’s principal place of business and chief
executive office is 2701 South Minnesota Avenue, Suite 6, Sioux Falls, South Dakota 57105.

          (n) Financial Condition. Each financial statement concerning each Loan Party and the
Properties provided to Lender in connection with the Loan, and hereafter from time to time, fairly
and accurately presents, in accordance with [Agreed Accounting Principles] consistently applied, in
all material respects the financial position of each such Loan Party and the Properties, as the
case may be, as of the date of such financial statement. Each such financial statement has been
prepared in accordance with the requirements of Section 5.16(c). There have occurred no changes or
circumstances to such financial data or the financial condition of the Properties, the Borrower or
any Loan
Party which individually or in the aggregate have had or may result in a Material Adverse
Change.

          (o) Fraudulent Transfer; Solvency. None of the Loan Parties have entered into the
Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor or any other
Person, and each Loan Party has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its
obligations under the Loan Documents. As of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the
transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, the Borrower and SHP Subsidiaries are solvent and
the fair saleable value of each Loan

8

 

Party’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the
execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, exceed such Loan Party’s total liabilities, including
subordinated, unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of each
Loan Party’s assets will, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents,
be greater than such Loan Party’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its
contingent liabilities or its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Each Loan Party’s
assets, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, will not constitute
unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted.
As of the Closing Date, no Loan Party intends or believes that it will, incur debts and liabilities
(including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts as
they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of its
obligations). No Loan Party has any knowledge of any tenant presently contemplating the filing of
a petition by it under any Bankruptcy Law or the liquidation of all or a major portion of its
assets or property.

          (p) No Bankruptcy Filing. No Loan Party is a debtor in any outstanding action or
proceeding pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law and no Loan Party is (i) contemplating either the filing
of a petition by it under any Bankruptcy Law or the liquidation of all or any portion of its assets
or property, and (ii) no Loan Party is aware that any other Person is contemplating the filing
against any Loan Party of a petition under any Bankruptcy Law.

          (q) Single Purpose. Each of the SHP Subsidiaries was formed solely for the purpose of
acquiring its direct or indirect interest in its respective SHP Subsidiary Properties. Since the
formation of each of the SHP Subsidiaries:

               (i) Neither Borrower nor any SHP Subsidiary has incurred any Indebtedness, other than
Permitted Debt;

               (ii) SHP Subsidiaries have never owned, and do not now own, nor will the SHP Subsidiaries ever
own any asset or property other than (A) the respective SHP Subsidiaries’ Properties, and (B) other
assets incidental to its ownership or operation of such Properties; and

               (iii) Each Loan Party has at all times complied with and will continue to comply with the
provisions of its respective Organizational Documents and the laws of the State in which such Loan
Party was formed and or any other state where laws governing the activities of such Loan Party.

          (r) Control. Except for the powers granted to the Independent Members in the SHP
Subsidiaries, Borrower has the power and authority and the requisite Ownership Interests to control
the actions of the SHP Subsidiaries. Without limiting the foregoing and except for the powers
granted to the Independent Members in the SHP Subsidiaries, Borrower has sufficient control over
SHP Subsidiaries to cause SHP Subsidiaries to (i) take any action on SHP Subsidiaries’ part
required by the Loan Documents and (ii) refrain from taking any action prohibited by the Loan
Documents.

          (s) Intentionally Omitted.

9

 

          (t) Employees. No Loan Party (other than Borrower and Guarantor) has any employees.

          (u) Title. Borrower has good and marketable fee simple or leasehold, as applicable,
title to the Borrower Properties free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and charges whatsoever
other than Permitted Exceptions. SHP Subsidiaries have good and marketable fee simple title to the
SHP Subsidiary Properties free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and charges whatsoever other
than Permitted Exceptions. None of the Permitted Exceptions has a Material Adverse Effect or
otherwise materially interferes with the Intended Use of the Properties, with the value of the
Properties, or with the ability of any Loan Party to perform its obligations under the Loan
Documents. Any Loan Party purporting to grant to Lender a Lien on any other Collateral has good
and marketable title in and to such Collateral free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and
charges whatsoever other than the Lien created by the Loan Documents in favor of Lender and the
Permitted Exceptions.

          (v) Flood Zone. Except for those Properties for which Borrower has delivered to
Lender reasonably acceptable proof of appropriate flood insurance, no portion of the Properties is
located in an area as identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency or the Federal
Insurance Administration as an area having special flood hazards (Zone A or Zone V).

          (w) Parking. The Properties and the Improvements have and will at all times have, or
have easement rights to, a sufficient number of parking spaces to comply with Applicable Law and
with all obligations under the Material Agreements and Senior Loan Documents.

ways either abutting the Properties or through Easement Areas (and
makes no use of any means of access, ingress or egress that is not pursuant to such dedicated
public ways or Easement Areas). All roads necessary for the full utilization of each of the
Properties for all current and Intended Uses have been completed and paid for and are either part
of the Properties (by way of deed, easement or ground lease) or dedicated to public use and
accepted by all Governmental Authorities.

          (y) Utilities. Each of the Properties is served by water, electric, sewer, sanitary
sewer and storm drain facilities and all other utilities necessary and sufficient for all current
and Intended Uses, and such utilities enter each of the Properties directly from a public
right-of-way abutting the Properties or through Easement Areas, and all such utilities are
connected so as to serve the Properties without passing over other property other than Easement
Areas.

          (z) No Encroachments. Except for immaterial encroachments of certain Improvements
across boundaries and building restriction lines of the Properties and immaterial encroachments of
improvements on adjoining properties onto certain of the Properties, the Improvements lie wholly
within the boundaries and building

10

 

restriction lines of the Properties and do not encroach upon
easements or other encumbrances upon the Properties,
including any required set-back, and no
improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Properties.

          (aa) Compliance with Applicable Law; Zoning. Each of the Properties (including the
Intended Use) is in compliance with Applicable Law, including the ADA. Each of the Properties
currently comply with all zoning requirements and do not rely on any pre-existing use or rights.

          (bb) Permits and Licenses. All licenses and permits required, including all liquor
licenses, based on Applicable Law in effect on the Closing Date, to own, operate, manage or
maintain the Properties for all current or Intended Uses have been obtained, paid for and are in
full force and effect as of the date hereof.

          (cc) Forfeiture. There has not been committed by any Loan Party any act or omission
affording any Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against (i) any of the Properties,
or (ii) any part thereof or direct or indirect Ownership Interest therein or any amounts paid in
performance of the Obligations or (iii) any license or permit. No Loan Party has purchased any of
the Properties or any portion thereof or direct or indirect Ownership Interest therein with the
proceeds of any illegal activity.

          (dd) Casualty. The Properties have not been damaged or injured as a result of any
fire, explosion, accident, flood or other casualty, which damage or injury has not been fully
repaired and the respective Properties restored.

          (ee) No Condemnation. No condemnation or eminent domain proceeding has been
commenced, or, to the Borrower’s Knowledge, is pending or
threatened against any of the Properties or any roadways or Easement Areas providing access to
any of the Properties.

          (ff) No Violations. No Loan Party has received any notice of violations of any
Applicable Law in respect to any of the Properties.

          (gg) Insurance. Borrower and SHP Subsidiaries have obtained Policies satisfying the
insurance coverages, amounts and other requirements set forth in this Agreement (or, if applicable
in the Senior Loan Documents) and, to Borrower’s Knowledge, no Person, has done, by act or omission
anything which would impair the coverage of any such Policy.

          (hh) Management Agreement. Borrower has delivered or has caused to be delivered to
Lender a true, complete and correct copy of each of the Management Agreements as of the date
hereof, which are in full force and effect and free from default by any Loan Party or, to
Borrower’s Knowledge, the manager thereunder as of the date hereof. Other than the Management
Agreements, agreements for the rental of guestrooms and Leases, there are no other agreements in
existence relating to the management or leasing of the Properties.

11

 

          (ii) Leases.

               (i) Borrower has delivered or has caused to be delivered to Lender true, correct and complete

Properties. Except as disclosed to Lender in writing, as of the date hereof, the Leases are in
full force and effect and there are no defaults thereunder by any Loan Party or, to Borrower’s
Knowledge with respect to any Leases, the tenant thereunder, which have a Material Adverse Effect.
All Leases have been entered into in the name of Borrower or a SHP Subsidiary or have been duly
assigned to Borrower or a SHP Subsidiary, and Borrower or a SHP Subsidiary is the landlord under
all Leases. No Person has any possessory interest in any of the Properties or right to occupy the
same except under and pursuant to the provisions of the Leases and the Permitted Exceptions, and
hotel guests.

          (jj) Material Agreements. Exhibit J attached hereto sets forth a list of all Material
Agreements entered into by any Loan Party on or before the Closing Date, and all Material
Agreements entered into after the Closing Date will comply with the Loan Documents and the Senior
Loan Documents in all material respects. All Material Agreements have been or will be entered into
in the name of the Borrower, Guarantor or a SHP Subsidiary or have been duly assigned to and
assumed by Borrower, Guarantor or a SHP Subsidiary. The Material Agreements are in full force and
effect and there are no defaults thereunder by any Loan Party or, to Borrower’s Knowledge, any
other party thereto as of the date hereof which have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (kk) Intentionally Omitted.

          (ll) Taxes and Assessments. Each Loan Party’s federal tax identification number is
set forth on Exhibit U. All taxes and governmental assessments relating to the Properties are
current and are not delinquent. Each Loan Party has filed, or caused to be filed, all tax returns
(federal, state, local and foreign) required to be filed and paid all amounts of taxes shown
thereon to be due (including interest and penalties) and has paid all other taxes, fees,

Borrower’s Knowledge, proposed, special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise

          (mm) Separate Tax Lot. Except as set forth on Exhibit V, each of the Properties
consist of a separate tax lot or lots and said lot or lots do not include any property not included
within the Properties.

          (nn) ERISA. No Loan Party or any ERISA Affiliate of a Loan Party is an “employee
benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA, and none of the
assets any Loan Party constitutes or will constitute “plan assets”

12

the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3 101. The consummation of the transaction contemplated

evidence delivered to Lender concerning the Loan or security for the Loan or required by the Loan
Documents are accurate and correct in all material respects and sufficiently complete to give
Lender true and accurate knowledge of their subject matter, and do not contain any

Lender prior to the date hereof.

               (i) There is no default or event of default under any of the Senior Loan Documents and no

Documents are true, complete and correct.

               (iii) There are no Senior Loan Agreements other than those set forth on Exhibit L attached

          (vv) Filing and Recording Taxes. All transfer taxes, recording taxes, deed stamps,
intangible taxes or other amounts in the nature of transfer taxes or recording taxes, charges or

          (xx) Personal Holding Company. No Loan Party is a “personal holding company” as
defined in Section 542 of the Code.

          (yy) Franchise Agreement. Borrower has delivered to Lender true, correct, accurate
and complete copies of representative Franchise Agreements with respect to the Properties and no
verbal or written agreements exist which terminate, modify or supplement the Franchise Agreements.
The Franchise Agreements are in full force and effect and there is no default thereunder by any
party thereto and no Unmatured Default has occurred thereunder. Lender acknowledges that from time
to time, a franchisor will send a notice of default to a Loan Part based upon a condition of a
Property, but simultaneously grants an extended cure period to such Loan Party. Such types of
default notices shall not be considered a breach hereunder, provided, (i) such default is cured
within such extended cure period, and (ii) the Loan Party sends a copy of such notice to Lender on
the date that is one half of the number of days of such extended cure period after receipt of such
notice if the default has not been cured before such date.

     Section 3.2. Representations and Warranties to be Continuing. Borrower hereby
represents and warrants that, except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.2, all of the
representations and warranties in Section 3.1 are true and correct as of the Closing Date and will
continue to be true throughout the term of the Loan as if remade at all times
afterwards. All representations and warranties made in this Agreement or in any other
document delivered to Lender by or on behalf of any Loan Party shall survive the making of the Loan
and shall continue in full force and effect until the Obligations are fully satisfied. Borrower
shall inform Lender in writing within five (5) Business Days upon discovering any breach of such
representations or warranties, it being understood and acknowledged that any such discovery by any
Loan Party or any other Person having an Ownership Interest shall be deemed to be the discovery by
Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations and warranties in paragraphs (h),
(j), (l) and (ee) in Section 3.1 above shall be true as of the date of each Advance under the Loan
Agreement and shall be a condition precedent to each such Advance.

     Section 3.3. Acknowledgment of Lender’s Reliance. The Borrower acknowledges that
Lender will make the Loan in reliance upon the representations and warranties contained in the Loan
Documents or any certificate delivered to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents. The Lender shall
be entitled to such reliance notwithstanding any investigation which has been or will be conducted
by Lender or on its behalf.

ARTICLE V

BORROWER’S COVENANTS

     Section 5.1. Obligations. Borrower shall (i) pay and perform the Obligations, and any
and all other obligations, at the time and in the manner provided in this Agreement, the other Loan
Documents and the Senior Loan Documents and (ii) cause the SHP Subsidiaries or other applicable
Person to pay and perform all obligations under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the
Senior Loan Documents.

     Section 5.2. Inspection; Access to Books and Records. Borrower will, and will cause
the SHP Subsidiaries to, at all reasonable times upon prior notice permit Lender
and Lender’s consultants and agents, including the Servicer, to inspect the Properties and all
matters relating to the development, construction and operation of the Properties during normal
business hours. Borrower will, and will cause the SHP Subsidiaries and each of their respective
agents and contractors to, cooperate to give Lender and its consultants and agents full access to
the Properties at all times. Lender will endeavor to minimize interference by its consultants with
the activities of such Loan Party or contractors at the Properties in connection with any such
inspection. All inspections by Lender and its consultants shall be for the sole benefit of Lender
for its loan administration purposes only. Neither Lender nor any of its consultants assumes or
shall have any responsibility, obligation or liability to any Loan Party or any other Person by
reason of Lender’s or its consultant’s inspections except to the extent of Lender’s gross
negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct. Neither any Loan Party nor any other Person may
rely on Lender’s inspections for any purpose (including stage of completion, adequacy or
workmanship, compliance with Applicable Law, or other matters related to design, construction and
operation). Lender’s inspection of an item shall not result in any waiver of Lender’s rights in
the event such item does not conform with this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, Borrower shall only be responsible for payment for one inspection per Property per year
unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

     Section 5.3. Material Agreements.

          (a) Except as permitted under the Senior Loan Documents, Borrower shall not, and shall not
permit the SHP Subsidiaries to, enter into any Material Agreement without the consent of Lender not
to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Lender may condition its consent upon Borrower or the SHP
Subsidiaries also obtaining the consent of the Senior Lender.

          (b) Except as specifically set forth herein, Borrower will not, and will not permit or cause
the SHP Subsidiaries to, amend, modify, supplement, rescind or terminate any Material Agreement,
without Lender’s approval, including the identity of the party to perform services under such
agreement. Subject to the rights of Senior Lender, if a material or service provider under a
Material Agreement is in default in its obligations thereunder to the extent entitling Borrower or
any of the SHP Subsidiaries to rescind or terminate that agreement, then if Lender so requires (but
not otherwise), Borrower will, or will cause the SHP Subsidiary to, promptly use all reasonable
efforts to terminate that agreement and appoint a new party in its place, with such identity and
terms of appointment approved by Lender.

21

 

          (c) Borrower shall and shall cause each Loan Party, as applicable, to observe and perform each
and every term to be observed or performed by such Loan Party under the Material Agreements the
non-performance of which would cause a Material Adverse Effect.

     Section 5.4. Leases.

          (a) Consent. Except as specifically permitted by the Senior Loan Documents, Borrower
shall not, and shall not permit any SHP Subsidiary, to enter into any Lease of any of the
Properties or any portion thereof without Lender’s prior written consent. Except as specifically
permitted by the Senior Loan Documents, Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any SHP Subsidiary
to modify or amend in any material respect any Lease, including any Lease Guaranty, without the
consent of Lender. Without Lender’s prior written consent, Borrower shall not, and shall not
permit any SHP Subsidiary to, cancel, terminate or accept the surrender of any Lease, except as
permitted by the Senior Loan Documents.

          (b) Performance. Borrower shall or shall cause the SHP Subsidiaries to (i) observe
and perform all the obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases; (ii) promptly send copies
to Lender of all notices of default which Borrower or the SHP Subsidiaries or their respective
agents or representatives shall send or receive under any Lease; (iii) enforce all of the terms,
covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the lessee thereunder to be
observed or performed; provided, however, Borrower shall not, and shall not permit the SHP
Subsidiaries to, terminate any Lease without the prior written consent of Lender, except as
permitted by the Senior Loan Documents; and (iv) not execute any other assignment of the lessor’s
interest in any of the Leases or the rents, except under the Senior Loan Documents. Subject to
Senior Lender’s rights, Lender shall have the right, at the Borrower’s expense, but shall not be
obligated, to cure any default by the Borrower or the SHP Subsidiaries under any of the Leases
which would entitle the Tenant thereunder to terminate its Lease or offset rent and which the
Borrower or the SHP Subsidiaries are not proceeding diligently to cure, and this provision shall be
deemed to be a written authorization and each tenant shall be entitled to rely thereon. Such
curing by Lender of a default by the Borrower and the SHP Subsidiaries under any of the leases
shall not release the applicable Loan Party in any way from liability to Lender for the failure to
discharge the duty to so cure that default. Any and all sums expended by Lender with respect to
any such cure, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date paid by Lender
until repaid by Borrower, shall immediately be due and payable to Lender by Borrower on demand and
shall be secured by the Loan Documents. Lender, Servicer and any Person designated by Lender or
Servicer are hereby authorized by Borrower to directly communicate with the Approved Manager at any
time and from time to time regarding such matters as Lender deems appropriate, and Borrower on
behalf of SHP hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Loan Party shall have no claim or cause of
action against Lender arising out of such communications.

22

 

     Section 5.5. Approved Management Agreement.

          (a) Management Agreements. Unless otherwise consented to by Lender, all of the
Properties shall at all times during the term of the Loan be managed and
operated by Approved Manager(s) pursuant to management agreements (“Management Agreements”) in
form and content reasonably acceptable to Lender. Borrower shall not, and shall not cause or
permit the SHP Subsidiaries to, enter into any other Management Agreement or terminate or replace
an Approved Manager or amend or modify the existing Management Agreement, without Lender’s prior
written consent.

          (b) Intentionally Omitted.

          (c) Lender Termination Request. Subject to the rights of the Senior Lender and
provided the following does not create an event of default under the Senior Loan Agreements, upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if requested by Lender in writing
(a “Lender Termination Request”), Borrower shall, or shall cause the SHP Subsidiaries to, issue
within five (5) Business Days after delivery of the Lender Termination Request, a notice of
termination to terminate any Management Agreement (a “Manager Termination Notice”).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Approved Manager is an Affiliate of any Loan Party, Lender’s
delivery to Borrower of a Lender Termination Request shall automatically terminate the Management
Agreement with any such Affiliate effective as of the date specified in the Lender Termination
Request. If Borrower fails to issue or cause the SHP Subsidiary to issue the Manager Termination
Notice within said five (5) Business Day period, the same shall constitute an Event of Default, and
Lender shall have the right, and Borrower and the SHP Subsidiary hereby irrevocably authorizes
Lender and irrevocably appoints Lender as Borrower’s and the SHP Subsidiary’s attorney-in-fact
coupled with an interest, at Lender’s sole option, to issue a Manager Termination Notice on behalf
of and in the name of Borrower or the SHP Subsidiary, and each Loan Party hereby releases and
waives any claims against Lender arising out of Lender’s exercise of such authority.

          (d) Replacement Approved Manager. Subject to the rights of the Senior Lender and
provided the following does not create an event of default under the Senior Loan Agreements, if
Lender delivers the Lender Termination Request, upon Lender’s further request, Borrower shall, or
shall cause the SHP Subsidiary to appoint a replacement Approved Manager pursuant to a new
Management Agreement as soon as practicable, but in no event, more than forty-five (45) days after
delivery of such Lender Termination Request, and shall cause such replacement Approved Manager to
execute and deliver to Lender a subordination of management agreement substantially similar to the
Manager’s Subordination and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Lender.

     Section 5.6. Insurance.

          (a) Policies. Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, shall insure and keep insured,
and shall cause the SHP Subsidiaries, at their sole cost and expense to insure and keep insured the
Properties against such perils and hazards, and in such amounts and with such limits, and pursuant
to such Policies issued by such insurers, as

23

 

Lender may from time to time require (collectively, “Policies”), and, in any event, including:

               (i) All Risk. Insurance against loss to the Properties which shall be on an “All
Risk” Policy form, in each case covering insurance risks no less broad than those covered under a
Standard Multi Peril (SMP) Policy form, which contains a Commercial ISO “Causes of Loss – Special
Form”, including theft, and insurance against such other risks as Lender may reasonably require,
including, but not limited to, insurance covering the cost of demolition of undamaged portions of
any portion of the Properties when required by code or ordinance, the increased cost of
reconstruction to conform with current code or ordinance requirements and the cost of debris
removal. In addition, during any period of construction with respect to the Properties such
Policies shall cover the following: real estate property taxes; architect, engineering, and
consulting fees; legal and accounting fees (including the cost of in-house attorneys and
paralegals); advertising and promotion expenses; interest on money borrowed; additional commissions
incurred upon renegotiating leases and any and all other expenses which may be incurred as a result
of any property loss or destruction by an insured. Such Policies shall be in amounts equal to the
full replacement cost of the Properties, including all fixtures, equipment, construction materials
and personal property on and off-site. Such Policies shall also contain a 100% co-insurance clause
with an agreed amount endorsement (with such amount to include the replacement cost of the
foundation and any underground pipes), a permission to occupy endorsement and deductibles which are
in amounts acceptable to Lender.

               (ii) Intentionally Omitted.

               (iii) Business Interruption. Business interruption insurance insuring against loss
arising out of the perils insured against in the policy or policies referred to in clause (i)
above, in an amount equal to not less than gross revenue from the affected Property(ies) for twelve
(12) months from the operation and rental of all hotels now or hereafter forming part of the
Property(ies), based upon one hundred percent (100%) of the occupancy determined from historical
operating performance of such hotels, less any allocable charges and expenses which do not continue
during the period of restoration.

               (iv) Boiler and Machinery. Broad form boiler and machinery insurance including
business interruption/extra expense and rent and rental value insurance, on all equipment and
objects customarily covered by such insurance and/or involved in the heating, cooling, electrical
and mechanical systems of the Properties (if any are located at the Properties), providing for full
repair and replacement cost coverage, and other insurance of the types and in amounts as Lender may
require, but in no event less than that customarily carried by Persons owning or operating like
properties.

               (v) Workers’ Compensation. During any construction to (or making of any alterations
or improvements to) the Properties (i) insurance covering claims based on the owner’s or employer’s

workers’ compensation insurance covering all Persons engaged in such alterations or improvements.

               (vi) Flood. Insurance against loss or damage by flood or mud slide in compliance with

is now, or at any time while the Loan remains outstanding shall be, situated in any area which an
appropriate governmental authority designates as a special flood hazard area, Zone A or Zone V, in
amounts equal to the full replacement value of all above grade structures on the Properties.

               (vii) Earthquake. Insurance against loss or damage by earthquake, if any of the
Properties is now, or at any time while the Loan remains outstanding shall be, situated in any area

and equipment, plus the cost of debris removal.

               (viii) Public Liability. Comprehensive liability insurance against death, bodily
injury and property damage arising in connection with the Properties. Such Policy shall be written
on a Standard ISO occurrence basis form or equivalent form, shall list Borrower or the SHP
Subsidiary as the named insured, shall designate thereon the location of the Properties and have
such limits as Lender may reasonably require, but in no event less than $1,000,000 per occurrence.
Borrower shall also obtain, and shall cause the SHP Subsidiaries to obtain, excess umbrella
liability insurance with a minimum of a $50,000,000 limit.

               (ix) Other Insurance. Such other insurance and in such 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 the Properties located in or around the region in which the
Properties are located.

          (b) Policy Requirements.

               (i) All insurance shall: (i) be carried with companies with a Best’s rating of A/X or better,
or otherwise acceptable to Lender; (ii) be in form and content acceptable to Lender; (iii) provide
for thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to Lender before any cancellation, adverse material
modification or notice of non-renewal; and (iv) to the extent not otherwise specified herein,
contain deductibles and limits which are in amounts acceptable to Lender.

               (ii) All physical damage Policies and renewals (including those required to be maintained
under the Leases and subcontracts for the benefit of Borrower and the SHP Subsidiaries) shall
contain (i) a standard mortgage clause naming Senior Lender, as mortgagee, which clause shall
expressly state that any breach of any condition or warranty by any Loan Party or any other party
shall not prejudice the rights of Senior Lender under such insurance and shall further waive any
rights of subrogation against

25

 

Senior Lender, and (ii) a loss payable clause in favor of Senior
Lender for personal property, contents, inventory, equipment, loss of rents and business
interruption. All Policies and renewals (including those required to be maintained under the
Leases and subcontracts for the benefit of Borrower and the SHP Subsidiaries) shall name Lender as
an additional insured. All Policies shall have “pollution exclusions” deleted by endorsement. No
additional parties (other than Senior Lender) shall appear in the mortgagee or loss payable clause
without Lender’s prior written consent.

          (c) Delivery of Policies. Any notice pertaining to insurance and required pursuant to
this Section 5.6 shall be given in the manner provided in Section 11.9. The insurance shall be
evidenced by a true and certified copy of the original Policy; provided; however, that Borrower may
provide original certificates of insurance on the Closing Date so long as the original Policies are
provided within thirty (30) days thereafter. Borrower shall, and shall cause the SHP Subsidiaries
to, use its best efforts to deliver originals or certified copies of all Policies and renewals
marked “paid”, (or evidence satisfactory to Lender of the continuing coverage) to Lender at least
fifteen (15) days before the expiration of existing Policies and, in any event, Borrower shall, or
shall cause the SHP Subsidiaries to, deliver originals or certified copies of such Policies to
Lender at least five (5) days before the expiration of existing Policies. If Lender has not
received satisfactory evidence of such renewal or substitute insurance (i.e., certified copies of
the Policies marked “premium paid” or accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of
the premiums due thereunder) in the time frame herein specified (regardless of whether not Borrower
or the SHP Subsidiaries have informed Lender verbally or in writing that such renewal or substitute
insurance has been obtained), upon written notice to Borrower or the SHP Subsidiaries, Lender shall
have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase such insurance required under this Agreement.
Any amounts so disbursed by Lender pursuant to this Section shall be deemed Protective Advances.
Nothing contained in this Section shall require Lender to incur any expense or take any action
hereunder, and inaction by Lender shall never be considered a waiver of any right accruing to
Lender on account of this Section.

          (d) Separate Insurance. Borrower shall not carry (and shall not allow any other Loan
Party to carry) any separate insurance on the Properties concurrent in kind or form with any
insurance required hereunder or contributing in the event of loss without Lender’s prior written
consent, and any such Policy shall have attached standard non-contributing mortgagee clause, with
loss payable to Lender (subject to rights of Senior Lender), and shall otherwise meet all other
requirements set forth herein.

          (e) Insurance Review. At Lender’s option, Lender may (i) require Borrower to certify
to Lender on a quarterly basis that insurance required by this Section 5.6 is in place and (ii) not
more often than annually, Lender may obtain, at Borrower’s expense, a report from Lender’s
Insurance Consultant, certifying that insurance required by this Section 5.6 is in place.

          (f) Senior Loan. Notwithstanding anything set forth to the contrary in this Section
5.6, Borrower shall, and shall cause the SHP Subsidiaries to, maintain the

26

 

insurance required by the Senior Loan Documents. Nothing herein shall require insurance with higher limits, with lower
deductibles, with additional riders, or with more stringent terms and conditions that are required
by the most stringent of the Senior Loan Documents.

     Section 5.7. Casualty; Condemnation and Application of Proceeds.

          (a) Casualty.

               (i) If the Properties shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, with the cost of
repairing or restoring the damage to any effected Properties estimated to be $100,000 in the
aggregate or more (but such $100,000 limit shall apply on a per-Property basis), by fire or other
casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt written notice of such damage to Lender. If
required by the Senior Loan Documents or if there is no Senior Loan on the applicable Property,
Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute, or shall cause the SHP Subsidiaries to
promptly commence and diligently prosecute, the completion of the repair, replacement, rebuilding
and restoration of the Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in
immediately prior to such fire or other casualty (the “Restoration”) if such Restoration is
reasonable practicable, and otherwise in accordance with the Senior Loan Documents. Borrower shall
pay or shall cause the SHP Subsidiaries to pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such
costs are covered by insurance or whether Borrower or the SHP Subsidiaries are entitled to use the
proceeds of such insurance for the Restoration pursuant to the Loan Documents or the Senior Loan
Documents.

               (ii) Intentionally Omitted.

               (iii) Upon the occurrence of a Casualty causing damage greater than $100,000, if the Senior
Lender does not have the right to participate in the settlement, adjustment or compromise any claim
under any Policy of insurance, or in the event the Senior Lender has such right but shall waive or
otherwise fail to exercise such right, then it shall be an Event of Default hereunder if any such
claim is settled or compromised on terms that are not approved by Lender in writing such approval
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

               (iv) Intentionally Omitted.

               (v) The reasonable expenses incurred by Lender in the adjustment and collection of insurance
proceeds shall be deemed Loan Expenses.

          (b) Condemnation.

               (i) Borrower shall promptly give Lender written notice of the actual or threatened
commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding with respect to any of the Properties
and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served or received by any Loan Party in
connection with such actual or threatened proceedings. Unless prohibited by the Senior Loan
Documents, Lender may participate (as determined by Lender) in any such actual or threatened

27

 

proceedings at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to
Lender, or cause the SHP Subsidiary to deliver to Lender, all instruments requested by it to permit
such participation. Borrower shall, or shall cause the SHP Subsidiary to, at Borrower’s or SHP’
Subsidiary’s 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.

               (ii) Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through eminent domain
or otherwise (including any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such
taking, a “Condemnation”), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner
provided for its payment under the Loan Documents and the Debt shall not be reduced unless and
until any award or payment therefore shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after
the deduction of reasonable expenses of collection, to the Debt.

               (iii) If substantially all of any of the Properties or any portion thereof are taken by a
condemning authority, and if required or permitted by the Senior Lender, Borrower shall, and shall
cause the SHP Subsidiaries to, promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the
Property, to the extent reasonably practical, and otherwise comply with the provisions of this
Section 5.7.

               (iv) The reasonable expenses incurred by Lender in the negotiation, prosecution, evaluation
and settlement (including Professional Fees) of any condemnation award shall be deemed Loan
Expenses, shall be secured by the Loan Documents and shall be due and payable by Borrower to Lender
on demand.

          (c) Application.

               (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon the occurrence of a Casualty or
Condemnation, if Senior Lender elects to apply insurance proceeds or condemnation award (in either
case, the “Loss Proceeds”) to the Senior Loan, then the balance of any Loss Proceeds not so applied
to the Senior Loan shall be applied to the Loan. In the event Senior Lender makes, or is otherwise
required to make,
the Loss Proceeds available to Borrower or to a SHP Subsidiary for Restoration, then the Loss
Proceeds shall be so applied as provided in the Senior Loan Documents and any excess Loss Proceeds
remaining after completion of Restoration and released to Borrower or a SHP Subsidiary shall be
paid to Senior Lender, or if not paid to Senior Lender, then to Lender to be applied to the Debt or
for such other purposes approved by Lender and Borrower.

               (ii) If at any time a Casualty in excess of $100,000.00 or a Condemnation occurs after the
Senior Loan has been paid in full, the Loss Proceeds shall, at the option of Lender, subject to the
following sentence, be applied to the payment of the Debt or applied to reimburse Borrower or the
SHP Subsidiary, as the case may be, for

28

 

the cost of Restoration in the manner set forth below. In
the event of a Casualty in the amount of $100,000.00 or less after the Senior Loan has been paid in
full, the Loss Proceeds shall be applied by Borrower to the Restoration of the Property. In no
case shall any such application reduce or postpone any payments otherwise required under the Loan
Documents. Only if the Senior Loan is paid in full and an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Lender shall make such Loss Proceeds available to the Borrower or the SHP Subsidiary
for Restoration provided that each of the following conditions (“Restoration Conditions”) is
satisfied or waived in writing: (A) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (B) (x)
Lender is satisfied that such repair or restoration can be completed not less than 90 days prior to
the Scheduled Maturity Date, or if the Loan has been extended, 90 days prior to the Extended
Maturity Date or Second Extended Maturity Date, as applicable and (y) Guarantor provides Lender
with a completion guaranty covering such repair or restoration on terms and conditions acceptable
to Lender and (C) Borrower complies with all of the other conditions to disbursement of such Loss
Proceeds set forth in Section 5.7(c)(iii) below. If such Casualty or Condemnation occurs while
Senior Loan is outstanding, then the Senior Lender shall control the application of proceeds and
determinations of whether to commence restoration, to the extent permitted by the Senior Loan
Documents.

               (iii) In the event that Lender, as set forth above, elects to make the Loss Proceeds available
to Borrower or a SHP Subsidiary for Restoration, Lender may set reasonable conditions for making
said funds available to Borrower and the SHP Subsidiary, including requiring that if the Loss
Proceeds are not sufficient, in Lender’s sole judgment to complete such Restoration and pay for
additional property carry costs, that Borrower or the SHP Subsidiary shall deposit an amount equal
to such shortfall with Lender and that such amounts be expended on Restoration prior to Borrower or
the SHP Subsidiary being permitted to use such Loss Proceeds.

               (iv) If the Loss Proceeds are to be disbursed by Senior Lender for Restoration, Borrower and
the SHP Subsidiary shall deliver to Lender copies of all written correspondence delivered to and
received from Senior Lender that relates to the Restoration and release of the Loss Proceeds.

          (d) Intentionally Omitted

     Section 5.8. Title to Collateral. Subject to the Permitted Exceptions, Borrower shall
(i) warrant and defend (A) the title to the Collateral and every part thereof, and (B) the validity
and priority of the Liens and security interests created by the Loan Documents against the claims
of all Persons whatsoever and (ii) warrant and defend, and cause the SHP Subsidiaries to warrant
and defend, the title of the SHP Subsidiaries to the SHP Subsidiary Properties and every part
thereof. Borrower shall reimburse Lender for any Losses (including Professional Fees) incurred by
Lender if an interest in the Properties or the Collateral is claimed by another Person (other than
for Permitted Exceptions), and such Losses and any other amounts expended by Lender with respect to
such Losses shall be deemed Protective Advances. All proceeds payable under the Owner’s Title
Insurance Policy for the SHP Subsidiary Properties, subject to the rights of

29

 

Senior Lender, if any,
under its mortgage title insurance Policy, shall be deemed to constitute a distribution from the
SHP Subsidiaries to Borrower and subject to the provisions of the Pledge Agreements.

     Section 5.9. Zoning. Borrower shall not, nor shall it permit the SHP Subsidiaries to,
initiate, join in, acquiesce in, or consent to any change in any public or private restrictive
covenant, easement, zoning law or any other public or private restriction, limiting, conditioning,
changing, qualifying or defining the uses which may be made of any of the Properties or any part
thereof without the prior written consent of Lender. If under applicable zoning provisions the use
of all or any portion of any of the Properties is or shall become a nonconforming use, Borrower
will not cause or permit and shall cause the SHP Subsidiaries to not cause or permit the
nonconforming use to be discontinued or abandoned without the express written consent of Lender.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower covenants that it will cause each of the
Properties to be completed, maintained and operated in compliance in all material respects with all
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and Applicable Law, including: setback, building height, FAR
and other bulk requirements; unit mix and marketing requirements with respect thereto, if
applicable; and parking and loading dock requirements, if applicable.

     Section 5.10. Recorded Documents. If such change shall cause a Material Adverse
Effect, without the prior written consent of the Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or denied, Borrower shall not, and shall not permit or cause the SHP Subsidiaries or any
other Person to, record any map, plat, parcel map, lot line adjustment or other subdivision map,
easement, reciprocal easement agreement, declaration or any other recorded document of any kind
covering any portion of the Properties, or any amendment to any of the foregoing (collectively,
“Subdivision Map”), Borrower shall, or shall cause the SHP Subsidiaries to, submit such Subdivision
Map and any and all amendments thereto to Lender for Lender’s review and approval. Any default,
breach or violation of this Section 5.10 shall be an automatic Event of Default (without any
notice, grace or cure period.). As a condition precedent to approval by
Lender, if required by Lender, (i) Borrower shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lender
such amendments to the Loan Documents as Lender may reasonably require to reflect the change in the
legal description of any of the Properties resulting from the recordation of any Subdivision Map,
and (ii) Borrower shall deliver to Lender, at Borrower’s sole expense, a title endorsement to the
Owner’s Title Insurance Policy in form and substance satisfactory to Lender. Subject to the
execution and delivery by Borrower of any documents required under this Section 5.10, Lender shall,
if required by applicable law, sign any Subdivision Map approved by Lender pursuant to this Section
5.10, within a reasonable period after written request by Borrower.

     Section 5.11. Maintenance of Properties. Borrower shall, or shall cause the SHP
Subsidiaries to, maintain the Properties in a good and safe condition and repair. The
Improvements, materials, equipment, furniture, fixtures and other articles of personal property
located therein and thereon not owned by lessees under Leases (the “Personal Property”) shall not
be removed, demolished or materially altered (except for normal

30

 

replacement of the Personal
Property and compliance with franchise requirements or as otherwise permitted herein) without the
prior written consent of Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Borrower
shall not, nor shall it permit the SHP Subsidiaries to, initiate, join in, acquiesce in, or consent
to any change in any private restrictive covenant, zoning law or other public or private
restriction, limiting or defining the uses which may be made of the Properties or any part thereof
without the prior written consent of Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

     Notwithstanding the above, Borrower or SHP Subsidiaries shall be entitled to repair and
remodel any Property if: (a) such repairs or remodeling do not involve structural repairs or
changes as to the Improvements; and (b) if such repairs or remodeling do not exceed Two Hundred
Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) in any given year or Five Hundred Thousand and
No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) over the term of the Note; and (c) such repair or remodeling shall not
reduce the number of hotel guest rooms at the respective Property. In all events, if the
remodeling or repairs may be reasonably determined to materially decrease the revenues or
profitability of Borrower or SHP Subsidiary as respects the operations at the respective Property,
prior written consent of the Lender must be obtained.

          Section 5.12. Taxes and Liens.

               (a) Taxes and Other Charges. Borrower shall promptly pay or cause the SHP
Subsidiaries to pay all taxes, assessments, governmental licenses and impositions, and other
similar charges (the “Taxes”), all ground rents, maintenance charges, charges for utility services
and similar charges (the “Other Charges”), in each case now or hereafter levied or assessed or
imposed against any of the Properties or any part thereof as same become due and payable. Borrower
will, or will cause the SHP Subsidiaries to, deliver to Lender, promptly upon Lender’s request,
evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes and Other Charges have been so paid or are not then
delinquent.
At Lender’s request, Borrower shall, or shall cause the SHP Subsidiaries to, furnish to Lender
paid receipts for the payment of the Taxes and Other Charges prior to the date the same shall
become delinquent. Subject to the Senior Loan, Borrower or the SHP Subsidiaries, at their own
expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceedings, promptly initiated and conducted in good
faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any of
the Taxes, Other Charges or any Lien (other than the Lien of the Loan Documents or Senior Loan
Documents) provided that, and only for so long as (1) no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing; (2) neither any of the Properties nor any part thereof or interest therein will in the
opinion of Lender be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (3) in the
case of Taxes, Borrower or the SHP Subsidiaries have paid the same before such amounts become
delinquent even though Borrower is contesting the same; (4) such contest shall be permitted under
and be conducted in accordance with Applicable Law and in accordance with the provisions of any
other instrument or agreement affecting any of the Properties to which Borrower or the SHP
Subsidiaries is subject (including the Senior Loan Documents) and shall not constitute a default
thereunder; (5) Borrower or the SHP Subsidiaries promptly pays any contested amount if and to the
extent the outcome of such

31

 

contest requires the payment of the same; (6) unless Borrower or the SHP
Subsidiaries shall have paid the same under protest or Senior Lender shall have undertaken any of
the following if permitted by the Senior Loan Documents; at Lender’s option Borrower or the SHP
Subsidiaries shall have either (i) deposited with Lender adequate cash reserves for the payment
thereof, together with all interest and penalties which may accrue thereon, or (ii) furnished to
Lender such other security Lender may deem adequate to insure the payment of such contested amounts
together with all interest and penalties which may accrue thereon; provided, however, Lender agrees
that Borrower or the SHP Subsidiaries may satisfy the requirements of this clause (6) by obtaining
in favor of Lender an indemnity (in form and content reasonably acceptable to Lender) from a title
insurance company or other surety acceptable to Lender in respect of any Lien being contested by
the Borrower so long as at no time shall the aggregate amount of all then outstanding Liens for
which an indemnity has been obtained exceed the sum of $50,000. In addition, if the contested
Taxes or Other Charges are not paid in full when such Loan Party commences such contest, then such
proceeding must suspend the collection of Taxes and Other Charges. In addition, Borrower shall pay
to Lender upon demand, any reasonable costs incurred by Lender in ensuring compliance by such Loan
Party with this Section 5.12 including reasonable attorney’s fees, monitoring and evaluating
expenses and any tax service fees.

          (b) Liens. Borrower shall not allow nor permit the SHP Subsidiaries to allow and
shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any Lien or charge whatsoever other than the Senior
Loan and Permitted Liens which may be or become a Lien other than the Senior Loan. Borrower shall
not allow the Properties to at any time be encumbered by any Lien which is not a Permitted Lien or
the Senior Loan.

          (c) Tax and Insurance Escrow. If at any time any Senior Lender ceases maintaining a
tax escrow or a capital improvement reserve in accordance with the Senior Loan Documents as in
effect on the date hereof, then Lender shall have the right to require Borrower to establish any
such reserve with Lender in such amounts as would have been required in accordance with the Senior
Loan Documents in effect on the date hereof and pursuant to such procedures as reasonably
determined by Lender.

     Section 5.13. Waste. Borrower shall not, and shall cause the SHP Subsidiaries to not,
(a) commit or cause any waste of any of the Properties, (b) make or permit to be made any change in
the use of the Properties which will in any way materially increase the risk of fire or other
hazard arising out of the use or operation of the Properties, (c) take or cause to be taken any
action that might invalidate or give cause for cancellation of any Policy, or (d) do or permit to
be done thereon anything that could in any way materially impair the value of any of the Properties
or Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents.

     Section 5.14. Misapplication of Funds. Borrower shall not, and shall cause each other
Loan Party not to, distribute any Property revenues or Loss Proceeds in violation of the provisions
of the Loan Documents, misappropriate or apply any Security Deposit or

32

 

portion thereof, or make any
Distributions in violation of the provisions of the Loan Documents.

     Section 5.15. Compliance With Laws. Borrower shall, and shall cause the SHP
Subsidiaries to promptly comply with all Applicable Law relating to the design, construction,
completion, ownership, operation and maintenance of the Properties applicable to the ownership, use
and operation of the Properties. Borrower shall from time to time, upon Lender’s request, provide
Lender with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the Properties comply in all material
respects with all Applicable Law. Borrower shall not alter and shall not permit the SHP
Subsidiaries to alter the Properties in any manner which would materially increase Borrower’s or
SHP’ Subsidiaries’ responsibilities or obligations for compliance with Applicable Law without the
prior written approval of Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Lender’s
approval of the plans, specifications, or working drawings for alterations of any of the Properties
shall create no responsibility or liability on behalf of Lender for their completeness, design,
sufficiency or their compliance with Applicable Law, and such approval shall not be relied on by
any Person. Lender may condition any such approval upon receipt of a certificate of compliance in
all material respects with Applicable Law from an independent architect, engineer, or other Person
reasonably acceptable to Lender. Borrower shall give prompt notice to Lender of the receipt by
Borrower or SHP Subsidiaries of any notice related to a material violation of any Applicable Law
and of the commencement of any proceedings or investigations which relate to compliance with
Applicable Law.

     Section 5.16. Books and Records.

          (a) Maintain. Borrower will keep and maintain, and will cause the SHP Subsidiaries to
keep and maintain, on a Fiscal Year basis, in accordance with Agreed Accounting Principles in
writing and consistently applied, proper and accurate books, records and accounts reflecting all of
the financial affairs of Borrower, SHP Subsidiaries and each Loan Party and all items of income and
expense in connection with the operation of the Properties. Lender shall have the right from time
to time at all times with prior notice during normal business hours to examine such books, records
and accounts at the office of Borrower or other Person maintaining such books, records and accounts
and to make copies or extracts thereof as Lender shall desire, at Lender’s sole expense unless an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, the
Borrower shall pay any reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender to examine such accounting
records as Lender shall determine to be necessary or appropriate in the protection of Lender’s
interest. The Borrower shall, and cause the SHP Subsidiaries to, furnish or make available to
Lender and its agents convenient facilities for the examination and audit of any of the applicable
books and records.

          (b) Senior Loan. Borrower shall, and shall cause the SHP Subsidiaries to,
concurrently furnish to Lender all financial statements, operating statements, balance sheets,
budgets, rent rolls, notices, consents, requests, reports, and all other financial or

33

 

written
communications related to the Properties delivered to the Senior Lender and/or received by Borrower
or SHP Subsidiaries from or on behalf of Senior Lender.

          (c) Financial and Other Reports. Borrower shall deliver, and cause the SHP
Subsidiaries to deliver to Lender each of the following:

               (i) annually, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each Fiscal Year, complete
executed copies of the audited financial statements of Borrower and Guarantor, including a
statement of operations (profit and loss), a statement of cash flows, a calculation of net
operating income, a balance sheet for such Fiscal Year (A) prepared by an Approved Accounting Firm,
and (B) certified to by a duly authorized representative of such applicable party and such Approved
Accounting Firm as being true, complete and accurate; and such other information as reasonably
requested by Lender, covering, in a separate report which shall not be audited and shall be
internally-prepared, the Properties, the SHP Subsidiaries, Borrower and each Loan Party;

               (ii) annually, within ninety (90) days after the end of each Fiscal Year, complete copies of
the internally-prepared statements of operations for the Properties;

               (iii) within forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter, complete copies of
unaudited financial statements for the Properties and for the SHP Subsidiaries, Borrower and each
Loan Party for such quarter and the year to date
prepared and certified to by a duly authorized representative of such applicable party as
being true, complete and accurate;

               (iv) annually, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each Fiscal Year, and
within forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter if requested by Lender, complete
executed copies of unaudited financial statements for each Guarantor prepared and certified to by
such Guarantor as being true, complete and accurate;

               (v) within twenty-five (25) days after the end of each month, complete executed copies of
internally-prepared financial statements for the Properties for such month on a monthly and year to
date basis and a certified status report concerning the operating performance of the Properties, in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, which report shall provide a comparison of
operating performance to the Annual Budget, as applicable;

               (vi) intentionally omitted;

               (vii) intentionally omitted;

               (viii) concurrently with filing, copies of all federal income tax returns filed with respect
to Borrower and the SHP Subsidiaries, if any;

34

 

               (ix) within five (5) days after request, such further detailed information covering the
operation of the Properties and the financial affairs of any Loan Party, as may be reasonably
requested by Lender; and

               (x) concurrently with delivery to Senior Lender, to the extent not otherwise provided pursuant
to the above provisions of this Section 5.16, copies of all financial information required to be
delivered to the Senior Lender pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents.

Each required annual and quarterly financial statement shall be accompanied by an Officer’s
Certificate certifying on the date thereof either (i) that, to such officer’s knowledge, there has
not occurred any Event of Default and there does not exist an Unmatured Default, and (ii) that if
an Event of Default shall have occurred or if an Unmatured Default exists, the nature thereof and
the date of occurrence or the period of time it has existed. If Borrower fails to deliver, or
fails to cause SHP Subsidiaries to deliver, any such report to Lender, and Borrower fails to cure
the same within ten (10) days after receiving notice from Lender, the same shall constitute an
Event of Default.

          (d) Title Reports. Upon request by Lender, Borrower shall provide Lender with current
UCC Searches or updates to UCC Searches previously delivered to Lender. If Borrower fails to
provide such reports to Lender within thirty (30) days of Lender’s request therefore, such failure
shall constitute an Event of Default, and Lender
shall have the right to obtain copies of such reports or updates at Borrower’s sole cost and
expense.

          (e) Officer’s Certificates. At the time of the delivery of the financial statements
provided for in Section 5.16, Borrower shall also deliver an Officer’s Certificate of Borrower,
that to such officer’s knowledge after due inquiry, no Unmatured Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing or, if any Unmatured Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, specifying the nature and extent thereof, and setting forth in reasonable detail the
calculations required to establish whether the Loan Parties were in compliance with the Loan
Documents, at the end of such fiscal month.

     Section 5.17. Litigation. Borrower shall give prompt written notice to Lender of any
litigation or governmental proceedings pending against the Properties, the SHP Subsidiaries or any
Loan Party in which the maximum amount of potential liability exceeds $50,000.00.

     Section 5.18. Bankruptcy. Borrower shall give prompt written notice to Lender of any
voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or similar proceeding under any
Bankruptcy Law against any Loan Party or any tenant under any Lease.

35

 

     Section 5.19. Distributions.

          (a) Intentionally Omitted.

          (b) Lender’s Collateral. Subject to the Senior Loan, any and all dividends, including
capital dividends, stock or liquidating dividends, and distributions of money or property,
redemptions or any other distributions of any kind or character made by any of SHP Subsidiaries or
Borrower on or in respect of the Ownership Interests in any of the SHP Subsidiaries or Borrower and
any and all cash and other property received in payment of the principal of or in redemption of or
in exchange for any Ownership Interests in any of SHP Subsidiaries or Borrower any other owner of
interests in any of the SHP Subsidiaries or Borrower (collectively, the “Distributions”), shall be
and become Collateral as security for the Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided
that there is no continuing Event of Default, the proceeds of Distributions, after passing through
the Lockbox Account may be used by Borrower in the ordinary course of its business or as otherwise
provided herein.

          (c) Prohibition. At no time that any portion of the Debt remains outstanding shall
Borrower permit the purchase or redemption of any direct or indirect interests in any of SHP
Subsidiaries or Borrower in violation of Article VII, or, except as expressly permitted in this
Section and as permitted under Borrower’s Operating Agreement with respect to Classes A, A-1 and B,
the declaration or payment of any
Distributions or the setting aside of any funds for any such purposes. If any Distributions
shall be received by any Loan Party or any other Person prior to passing through the Lockbox
Account (other than Lender or Senior Lender), such Loan Party or other Person shall hold the same
in trust for the benefit of Lender and immediately deliver the same for deposit into the Lockbox
Account.

          (d) Delivery to Lender. Subject to Section 5.19(c) and subject to the Senior Loan,
Borrower expressly agrees that the SHP Subsidiaries shall be permitted to make Distributions to
Borrower only upon the express condition that Borrower shall cause the SHP Subsidiaries to deliver
such Distributions directly to Lender (and to no other Person without the prior express written
consent of Lender) by wire transfer (pursuant to wiring instructions to be furnished by Lender) for
deposit in the Lockbox Account. Unless a Sweep Event has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall
not exercise its rights to control the Lockbox Account and all funds deposited in the Lockbox
Account shall be available for use by Borrower in the ordinary course of its business. In the
event a Sweep Event is continuing, Lender shall be permitted to apply all amounts in the Lockbox
Account toward the balance of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan or any interest and fees
due under the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Sweep Event is continuing,
Lender shall permit Borrower to make payments from the Lockbox Account for the purpose of funding
Property operating expenses (other than payments to Affiliates) and Senior Loan debt service
payments, prior to Lender’s application of amounts in the Lockbox Account to the Loan.

     Section 5.20. Affiliate Agreements. Any Loan Party may contract, verbally or in
writing, with any other Loan Party or any direct or indirect partner, member, shareholder or
Affiliate thereof, for services to be provided to such Loan Party related to the

36

 

Properties
(collectively, the “Affiliate Agreements”). Fees, payments, compensation and reimbursements
related to such contracts must be normal and customary for the service provided, and as if the
service were provided by a third party. Payment by a Loan Party to any other Loan Party or any
direct or indirect partner, member, shareholder or Affiliate thereof of any fees, payments,
compensation or reimbursements which are not normal and customary must be consented to in advance
by the Lender. Notwithstanding the above, the following fees, payments, compensation and
reimbursements are specifically approved by Lender: (i) any distribution, disbursement, payment,
fee, return or reimbursement set forth in the Organizational Documents of any Loan Party, but
subject to Section 5.19; (ii) any fee, payment, compensation or reimbursement set forth in the
Management Agreement; (iii) payments of commissions and fees to Summit Real Estate Investments, LLC
for broker-dealer services provided, not to exceed 8% of securities sold plus expense
reimbursement; (iv) payment of salaries, bonuses, benefits or other compensation to employees of
any Loan Party; (v) payment of principal and interest for funds borrowed by a Loan Party; or (vi)
reimbursements of expenses paid on behalf of a Loan Party. The payment of any fees, commissions or
other compensation which are not normal and customary without the prior written consent of Lender,
if required, shall constitute an automatic Event of Default (with no notice, cure or grace
period). The parties to each Affiliate Agreement shall acknowledge and agree that such
agreement is terminable by SHP Subsidiaries or Lender upon notice, without penalty, premium or
liability for future or accrued liabilities or obligations, if an Event of Default shall have
occurred and is continuing under the Loan Documents. Any Management Agreement shall either (i)
provide that such Management Agreement may be terminated on no more than 30 days prior notice, with
or without cause, and without penalty, or (ii) be subject to a manager’s subordination agreement in
substantially the same form and substance as the Subordination Agreement of Approved Manager
delivered on the Closing Date and providing that if Lender acquires an ownership interest in
Borrower, directly or indirectly, then the Manager agrees that Lender (or such purchaser at
foreclosure) may terminate the Management Agreement at any time upon thirty (30) days notice to the
Manager with or without cause or premium. Subject to the Senior Loan, following an Event of
Default under the Loan Documents, i) no Loan Party shall enter into any new Affiliate Agreements
without the prior written consent of Lender in each case, and (ii) if requested by Lender in
writing, Borrower shall, or shall cause the SHP Subsidiaries or the applicable Loan Party to,
terminate the Management Agreement and any other Affiliate Agreement specified by Lender within
five (5) days after delivery of Lender’s request without payment of any penalty, premium or
termination fee. If such Affiliate Agreement is not terminated in accordance with the immediately
preceding sentence, Lender shall have the right, and Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender
and irrevocably appoints Lender as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact coupled with an interest, at
Lender’s sole option, to terminate the Management Agreement and such Affiliate Agreement on behalf
of and in the name of Borrower or the applicable Loan Party, and Borrower hereby releases and
waives any claims against Lender arising out of Lender’s exercise of such authority. Any default,
breach or violation of this Section 5.20 shall be an automatic Event of Default (without any
notice, grace or cure period.). [Notwithstanding the foregoing, all funds used to pay any and all
sums due under the

37

 

Affiliate Agreements and the Management Agreement shall, so long as this Loan is
outstanding and at all times hereunder be paid from sums in the Lockbox Account. It is expressly
understood that all revenues and cash flows of, and all distributions paid to, Borrower (after the
payment of debt service for the Senior Debt and the payment of operating expenses of the Properties
other than with respect to the Affiliate Agreements), shall be deposited in, and as permitted
hereunder, disbursed from, the Lockbox Account.

     Section 5.21. Equity Contribution. Unless otherwise approved by Lender in writing,
until such time as the Loan has been indefeasibly paid in full (together with all interest thereon
and other sums payable with respect thereto), Borrower shall cause the SHP Subsidiaries at all
times to keep the Equity Contribution invested in the Properties as equity and shall not permit any
return of the Equity Contribution.

     Section 5.22. Single Purpose Entity. The SHP Subsidiaries shall at times be a Single
Purpose Entity, and Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of the SHP Subsidiaries to take
any action inconsistent with the provisions which embody the
requirements for a Single Purpose Entity or as otherwise set forth in the respective SHP
Subsidiaries’ Organizational Documents.

     Section 5.23. Intentionally Omitted.

     Section 5.24. Loan Party Compliance. Borrower shall take all steps necessary to cause
each Loan Party to comply with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents and the Senior Loan
Documents.

     Section 5.25. Continued Existence. Borrower shall, and shall cause each Loan Party
to, do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and
effect its existence, and material rights, licenses, permits and franchises in compliance with
Applicable Law. Borrower shall not, and shall not allow, cause or permit the SHP Subsidiaries to
dissolve, terminate, liquidate, merge with, consolidate into or acquire another Person. Borrower
shall, and shall take all steps necessary to cause each Loan Party, to at all times maintain,
preserve and protect all franchises and trade names and preserve all of such party’s property used
or useful in the conduct of their business and shall keep the Properties in good working order and
repair, and from time to time make, or cause to be made, all reasonably necessary repairs,
renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereto. Borrower will not, and will not
allow, cause or permit the SHP Subsidiaries to change its name, identity (including its trade name
or names) or ownership structure without Lender’s prior written consent. Borrower shall not allow
or permit any change in the use of the Properties without Lender’s prior written consent. Borrower
will, and will cause the SHP Subsidiaries to qualify to do business and will remain in good
standing under the laws of the states in which the Properties are located and in each jurisdiction
as and to the extent the same is required for the ownership, maintenance, management and operation
of the Properties.

     Section 5.26. Conduct of Business. Borrower shall not make, and shall cause the SHP
Subsidiaries not to make, any material change in the scope or nature of its business

38

 

objectives,
purposes or operations, or undertake or participate in activities other than the continuance of its
present business without Lender’s prior written consent not to be withheld or delayed Borrower
shall not, and shall not allow any Loan Party to make any change in the location of its “place of
business” or “chief executive office” (as such terms are used in Section 9-307 of the Uniform
Commercial Code) without the prior written consent of Lender which shall not be unreasonably

     Section 6.1. Compliance. Borrower shall, and shall cause the SHP Subsidiaries to (a)
pay all principal, interest and other amounts required to be paid under and pursuant to the
provisions of the Senior Loan Documents; (b) diligently perform and observe all of the material
terms, covenants and conditions of the Senior Loan Documents (provided, however, that any term,
covenant or condition, the non-performance of which would trigger a default or event of default
under the Senior Loan Documents shall be deemed “material”); (c) notify Lender in writing upon
receipt by Borrower or any SHP Subsidiary of any notice by the Senior Lender of any default
(whether or not subject to cure) by any Person in the performance or observance of any of the
terms, covenants or conditions of the Senior Loan Documents; and (d) deliver to Lender a true copy
of each such other notice regarding a consent or request for consent, or other material
correspondence to or from Senior Lender in connection with or relating to the Senior Loan.

43

 

     Section 6.2. Lender’s Cure Rights.

          (a) Cure Rights. Without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this
Agreement, and without waiving or releasing any Loan Party from any of their Obligations under the
Loan Documents, if there shall occur any default under the Senior Loan Documents or if Senior
Lender asserts that Borrower, any SHP Subsidiary or any other Person has defaulted in the
performance or observance of any term, covenant or condition of the Senior Loan Documents (whether
or not the same shall have continued beyond any applicable notice or grace periods, whether or not
Senior Lender shall have accelerated the Senior Loan or delivered proper notice to Borrower, SHP
Subsidiaries or any other Person, and without regard to any other defenses or offset rights
Borrower, the SHP Subsidiaries or any other Person may have against Senior Lender), Borrower and
the SHP Subsidiaries hereby expressly agree that Lender shall have the right (but not the
obligation), beginning on the date that is one half the number of days of the applicable cure
period from the date on which such cure period begins to run, without notice to or demand on
Borrower or the SHP Subsidiaries or any other Person, (A) to pay all or any part of the Senior Loan
that is then due and payable and any other sums and to perform any act or take any action, on
behalf of Borrower, the SHP Subsidiaries or such other Person, as may be appropriate to cause all
of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Senior Loan Documents to be promptly performed or
observed, (B) to pay any other amounts and take any other action as Lender shall deem reasonably
necessary to protect or preserve the rights and interests of Lender in the Loan and/or the
Collateral, and (C) Lender may take any such action deemed necessary by Lender to cure or attempt
to cure any default under the Senior Loan Documents. Borrower hereby expressly acknowledges and
agrees that Lender shall have no obligation to Senior Lender, Borrower, SHP Subsidiaries or any
other Person to make any such payment or performance or to complete any cure or attempted cure
undertaken or commenced by Lender.

          (b) Reliance. If the Senior Lender or its agents or representatives shall deliver to
Lender a copy of any written statement, demand or notice of default or breach under the Senior Loan
Documents, such statement, demand or notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender, in good faith, in reliance thereon, regardless of
any protest or objection thereto that any Loan Party may have or may wish to assert. As a material
inducement to Lender’s making the Loan, Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby absolutely and
unconditionally releases and waives all claims, offsets, defenses or counterclaims against Lender
arising out of Lender’s exercise of its rights and remedies provided in this Article VI.

          (c) Amounts Secured; Indemnification. All amounts paid (including any and all amounts
paid under or on, or on account of, the Senior Loan) and all costs and expenses incurred by Lender
in exercising its rights under this Article VI (including Professional Fees), shall be Protective
Advances, shall constitute a portion of the Debt, shall be secured by the Loan Documents and shall
be due and payable to Lender within
five (5) Business Days after demand therefore by Lender. In furtherance thereof and in
addition thereto, Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless

44

 

from and
against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes
of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including Professional Fees whether
or not suit is brought and settlement costs) and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever
which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender as a result of Lender taking any
action which Lender is permitted to take under this Article VI, and any amounts so paid by Lender
shall be deemed Protective Advances.

          (d) Access and Authority. Borrower, on behalf of itself and the SHP Subsidiaries,
hereby grants Lender and any Person designated by Lender the right to enter upon any of the
Properties at any time for the purpose of carrying out the rights granted to Lender under this
Article VI. Borrower shall not, and shall not cause, permit or cause SHP or any other Loan Party
to impede, interfere with, hinder or delay, any effort or action on the part of Lender to cure any
default or asserted default under the Senior Loan, or to otherwise protect or preserve Lender’s
interests in the Loan and the Collateral, including the Properties in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Further, in connection with the
exercise of its rights in this Article VI, Lender shall have the right at any time to discuss the
Properties, the Senior Loan, the Loan or any other matter directly with Senior Lender or Senior
Lender’s consultants, agents or representatives without notice to or permission from Borrower or
any other Loan Party, nor shall Lender have any obligation to disclose such discussions or the
contents thereof with the Borrower or any other Loan Party.

          (e) No Waiver. Any default or breach under the Senior Loan Documents which is cured
by Lender, whether or not such cure is prior to the expiration of any applicable grace, notice or
cure period under the Senior Loan Documents, shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under
this Agreement without any notice, grace or cure period otherwise applicable under this Agreement.

          (f) Subrogation. In the event that Lender makes any payment in respect of a Senior
Loan, Lender shall be subrogated to all of the rights of the respective Senior Lender under the
Senior Loan Documents against the respective Property(ies), the SHP Subsidiaries and each other
obligor thereunder in addition to all other rights Lender may have under the Loan Documents or
Applicable Law.

          (g) Reinstatement. In the event the Lender is required to pay over any payment or
distribution of assets, whether in cash, property or securities which is applied to the Debt,
including, without limitation, any proceeds of the Properties previously received by Lender on
account of the Loan to the Senior Lender, then Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender for any amounts
so paid, and any amount so paid shall continue to be owing pursuant to the Loan Documents as part
of the Debt notwithstanding the prior receipt of such payment by Lender.

     Section 6.3. Estoppels. If permitted by the Senior Loan Documents, Borrower shall,
and shall cause the SHP Subsidiaries to, on an annual basis, obtain from Senior Lender such
certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance by Borrower and the SHP

45

 

Subsidiaries with the
terms of its Senior Loan Documents as may be requested by Lender and required to be given by Senior
Lender pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender from and against
all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of
action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including Professional Fees whether or
not suit is brought and settlement costs) and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which
may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender based in whole or in part upon any fact,
event, condition, or circumstances related to the Senior Loan which was misrepresented in, or which
warrants disclosure and was omitted from such estoppel.

     Section 6.4. No Additional Senior Loan Documents or Amendments. Without the prior
written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not, and shall cause the SHP Subsidiaries and all other
Loan Parties and any other Persons to not, enter into or become bound by any agreements (or
amendments, modifications or waivers of or under agreements) with Senior Lender (written or
otherwise) or any other lender that are not set forth on Exhibit L with respect to the Senior Loan.
Without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not, and shall cause the SHP
Subsidiaries and all other Persons executing the Senior Loan Documents not to amend, modify,
cancel, terminate, supplement or waive any rights or benefits of Borrower or the SHP Subsidiaries
or any other Loan Party under, any of the Senior Loan Documents. Borrower shall promptly provide
Lender with a copy of any agreement entered into with the Senior Lender. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Borrower (1) may encumber Properties owned by SPE Owner with construction or mortgage
financing without the prior written consent of Lender provided such financing does not result in a
violation of the Loan to Value Ratio test, and (2) shall be entitled to modify and/or amend the
individual Senior Loans listed on Schedule 6.4 attached hereto in the manner described on
Schedule 6.4 without the prior written consent of Lender on terms that are ordinary and
customary for the Borrower for each particular type of transaction.

     Section 6.5. Acquisition of the Senior Loan.

          (a) Prohibition. No Loan Party and no Affiliate thereof or any other Person acting
upon their direction or request shall acquire or agree to acquire, obtain, purchase or control the
Senior Loan, or any portion thereof or any interest therein, or any direct or indirect Ownership
Interest in the holder of, or participant in, the Senior Loan in any manner whatsoever (except for
holdings of stock that is publicly traded on a nationally-recognized exchange), and any breach or
attempted breach of this provision shall constitute an immediate Event of Default hereunder without
any notice, grace or cure period otherwise applicable under this Agreement. If, solely by
operation of applicable subrogation law, any Loan Party or Affiliate thereof shall be in breach of
or fail to comply with the foregoing, then Borrower (i) shall immediately notify Lender of
such failure or breach, and (ii) shall cause any and all Loan Parties and Affiliates thereof
acquiring any interest in the Senior Loan Documents (A) not to enforce the Senior Loan Documents,
and (B) upon the request of Lender, to the extent any such Loan Party or Affiliate has the power or
authority to do so, to promptly (1) cancel, reconvey and release its interest in the Senior Loan
Documents, (2) discontinue and terminate any

46

 

enforcement proceeding(s) under the Senior Loan
Documents and (3) assign and transfer its interest in the Senior Loan Documents to Lender.

          (b) By Lender. Lender shall have the right during the continuance of an Event of
Default or during an event of default under the Senior Loan to acquire all or any portion of the
Senior Loan or any interest in any holder of, or participant in, the Senior Loan without notice or
consent of Borrower or any other Loan Party, in which event Lender shall have and may exercise all
rights of the Senior Lender thereunder (to the extent of its interest), including the right (i) to
declare that the Senior Loan is in default and (ii) to accelerate the Senior Loan indebtedness, in
accordance with the terms thereof and (iii) to pursue all remedies against any obligor under the
Senior Loan Documents. In addition, Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby expressly agree that
any claims, counterclaims, defenses, offsets, deductions or reductions of any kind which Borrower
or any other Person may have against Senior Lender relating to or arising out of the Senior Loan
shall be the personal obligation of Senior Lender, and in no event shall the SHP Subsidiaries,
Borrower or any other Loan Party be entitled to bring, pursue or raise any such claims,
counterclaims, defenses, offsets, deductions or reductions against Lender or any Affiliate of
Lender or any other Person as the successor holder of the Senior Loan or any interest therein.

     Section 6.8. Deed-in-Lieu. Without the prior written consent of Lender, Borrower
shall not, and shall not cause, cause or permit the SHP Subsidiaries to, enter into any
deed-in-lieu or consensual foreclosure with or for the benefit of Senior Lender or any of Senior
Lender’s Affiliates. Without the express prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not, and
shall not cause, cause or permit the SHP Subsidiaries to, enter into any consensual sale or other
transaction in connection with the Senior Loan which could diminish, modify, terminate, impair or
otherwise adversely affect the interests of Lender in the Collateral or any portion thereof or any
interest therein.

     Section 6.9. Refinancing. Without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Borrower shall not refinance, or cause
the SHP Subsidiaries to Refinance, the Senior Loan, except as permitted by Section 6.4 above.

     Section 6.10. Senior Loan Mechanics. Lender agrees to execute and deliver such
further documents, consistent with the terms hereof, as any Senior Lender may reasonably request
regarding such Senior Lenders rights to specific collateral. Further, Lender agrees to enter into
intercreditor agreements as reasonably requested by Senior Lender and agrees to allow Senior Lender
to direct cash flows from a Property or entity into such Senior Lender’s lockbox account, provided
such lockbox account provides for the automatic release of funds contained therein, after the
payment of debt service and customary reserves or expenses on Senior Loan, to Lender’s Lockbox
Account.

47

 

     Section 6.11. Independent Approval Rights. Except as otherwise set forth herein, if
any action, proposed action or other decision is consented to or approved by Senior Lender, such
consent or approval shall not be binding or controlling on Lender. Borrower hereby acknowledges
and agrees that (i) the risks of Senior Lender in making the Senior Loan are different from the
risks of Lender in making the Loan, (ii) in determining whether to grant, deny, withhold or
condition any requested consent or approval Senior Lender and Lender may reasonably reach different
conclusions, and (iii) Lender has an absolute independent right to grant, deny, withhold or
condition any requested consent or approval based on its own point of view. Further, the denial by
Lender of a requested consent or approval shall not create any liability or other obligation of
Lender if the denial of such consent or approval results directly or indirectly in a default under
the Senior Loan, and Borrower, the SHP Subsidiaries and the Guarantor hereby waive any claim of
liability against Lender arising from any such denial.

     Section 6.12. Event of Default. Any breach, violation or default under this Article
VI be an automatic Event of Default (without any notice, grace or cure period).

foregoing, the Properties set forth on Schedule
7.5(a) shall not be subject to payment of the Minimum Interest Amount as defined in the Note.

      Section 7.6. Transfers of Interests

          (a) If, without Lender’s prior written consent, (i) any interest in a Loan Party is sold or
conveyed; (ii) any ownership interest in a Loan Party is further encumbered or pledged; or, (iii)
without limiting the generality of clause (i) above, the ownership of shares of a Loan Party, if a
corporation, or of any corporate general partner of a Loan Party, if a partnership, or the general
partnership interests in any partnership which is a general partner of a Loan Party, or any
membership interest in a Loan Party which is a limited liability company, or any beneficial
interest in any a Loan Party which is a trust or trustee, is sold or conveyed, Lender shall at its
sole discretion be entitled to accelerate the Loan and declare the then unpaid principal balance
and all accrued interest

49

 

and other sums due and payable under the Note due and payable and exercise
all remedies available to Lender under the Loan Documents. Beneficial ownership of Borrower is
comprised of membership interests falling into four classes of interests: Class A Members, Class
A-1 Members, Class B Members and Class C Members (all as defined or provided for in Borrower’s
Third Amended and Restated Operating Agreement (“Operating Agreement”)). The entire Class C
Membership Interest is owned directly by The Summit Group, Inc., a South Dakota corporation, which
is the Company Manager (as defined in the Operating Agreement) and Guarantor.

          (b) Notwithstanding the restrictions of paragraph (a) above, no (a) transfer, sale or
assignment or (b) creation, of any Class A Membership Interest, Class A-1 Membership Interest or
Class B Membership Interest in Borrower shall require Lender’s notification or consent, allow
Lender to enforce the remedies set forth in this paragraph (a) above, so long as such transfer,
sale, assignment or creation of such interest(s) does not result in a Change of Control. For
purposes hereof, a “Change of Control” occurs when, in connection with a transaction or related
series of transactions, (i) The Summit Group, Inc. no longer retains Class C Membership Interests
in Borrower equivalent to at least [40%] of the Sharing Ratios (as defined in the Operating
Agreement) of Borrower; or (ii) The Summit Group, Inc. is no longer the Company Manager of
Borrower.

          (c) Furthermore, Lender will permit a one time transfer, sale, assignment or creation of
membership interests resulting in a Change in Control; provided, (i)(a) the transferee has a
financial and credit standing and management expertise acceptable to Lender as equal or greater
than that of Borrower on the date hereof, and (b) the Class C Member and the Company Manager has
management expertise acceptable to Lender; (ii) assumption documents in form and substance
satisfactory to Lender are executed by the transferee; (iii) Lender is paid a transfer fee equal to
one percent (1%) of the then outstanding indebtedness; (iv) Borrower reimburses Lender at closing
all fees and expenses associated with the transfer including legal fees;
(v) Lender receives an endorsement to Lender’s mortgagee’s title insurance policy, if any, in
form and substance acceptable to Lender; (vi) at Lender’s option, Lender receives opinions of
counsel and Borrower and transferee authorization documents in form and substance acceptable to
Lender; and (vii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder or under any
of the other Loan Documents. Further, Lender, in its sole judgment and discretion, may require
individuals specifically named by Lender to deliver to Lender an Environmental Indemnification
Agreement on Lender’s standard form. The rights granted to Borrower in this paragraph (c) are
personal to Borrower, shall be extinguished after the exercise thereof, and shall not inure to the
benefit of any subsequent transferee. Such transfer and assumption will not, however, release
Borrower or any guarantors, from any liability to the Lender without the prior written consent of
Lender, which consent may be given or withheld in Lender’s sole discretion, but if given, may be
conditioned upon, without limitation, the execution of new guaranties from principals of the
transferee as Lender deems necessary, execution by the principals of the

50

 

transferee of Lender’s
standard Environmental Indemnification Agreement and such other requirements as Lender may deem
appropriate in its discretion.

          (d) Notwithstanding the restrictions of Section 7.6 Lender will permit the following transfers
of ownership interests within The Summit Group, Inc. without the 1% fee or any change in the Loan
terms provided that: (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder or
under the Loan Documents or any separate documents guaranteeing Borrower’s payment and performance
of the Loan; (ii) Lender is promptly notified of such proposed transfer and provided with such
documentation evidencing the transfer and identity of the transferee as reasonably requested by
Lender; (iii) assumption documents, if deemed necessary by the Lender, in a form that is acceptable
to Lender are executed by the transferee; and (iv) Borrower reimburses Lender for all fees and
expenses including reasonable attorney’s fees associated with Lender’s review and documentation of
the transfer:

     (i) Any ownership interest in The Summit Group, Inc. may be transferred upon
the death of the holder of said interest but only by will or intestacy.

     (ii) Any ownership interest in The Summit Group, Inc. may be voluntarily sold,
transferred, conveyed or assigned to immediate family members or to a family trust
for estate planning purposes, provided that at all times there exists a minimum of
51% voting control of The Summit Group, Inc. and the Borrower by the party or
parties owning interests as of the date hereof. “Immediate family members” shall
mean the spouse, children, grandchildren, siblings, and the siblings’ children, of
each holder of an ownership interest in The Summit Group, Inc., as of the date
hereof, or a trust for the benefit of one or more of any such persons.

     (iii) Any ownership interest in The Summit Group, Inc. may be voluntarily
sold, transferred or conveyed or assigned to another person owning an ownership
interest in The Summit Group, Inc. as of the date hereof.

     (iv) Any non-voting ownership interest in The Summit Group, Inc. may be
voluntarily sold, transferred or conveyed or assigned to an employee, officer, or
director of Borrower or Guarantor.

     Section 9.3. Remedies.

          (a) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and expiration of any applicable grace or cure
period, Borrower agrees that Lender may (but without any obligation to do so) take such action,
without notice or demand, as Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against
Borrower or any Loan Party and in and to the Collateral, including the following actions, each of
which may be pursued concurrently, separately or otherwise, at such time and in such order as
Lender may determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting
the other rights and remedies of Lender (and any and all costs and expenses, including Professional
Fees, paid or incurred by Lender in connection with the following shall constitute a Protective
Advance) and shall be payable on demand:

               (i) declare the entire unpaid Debt to be immediately due and payable; provided, however, if
any Event of Default as described in Section 9.1(f), (g) or (h) above shall occur, the entire
unpaid Debt shall be automatically due and payable, without any further notice, demand or other
action by Lender;

               (ii) institute proceedings, judicial or otherwise, or take any other action, for the
enforcement of Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents or at law
or in equity, including the foreclosure, auction or sale (public or private) of the Collateral
or any portion thereof;

               (iii) terminate, in whole or in part, any obligation Lender may have to make any advance
hereunder;

               (iv) institute an action, suit or proceeding in equity for the specific performance of any
covenant, condition or agreement contained in the Loan Documents;

               (v) recover judgment on the Note either before, during or after any proceedings for the
enforcement of the Loan Documents;

               (vi) exercise any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under
any applicable Uniform Commercial Code;

               (vii) exercise all or any one or more of the rights, powers and other remedies available to
Lender against any of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity, at any time
and from time to time, whether or not all or any portion of the Debt shall be declared due and
payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceedings or other action
for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to the
Collateral, including exercising all or any one or more of the rights, powers and remedies
available to Lender under the Guaranty;

55

 

               (viii) apply any sums then deposited in the Lockbox Account and any other sums held in escrow
or otherwise by Lender in accordance with the terms the Loan Documents to the payment of the Debt
in such order of payment as Lender shall elect;

               (ix) pay, perform, or cause the performance of (provided Lender shall have no obligation to do
so) such covenant or obligation; and

               (x) pursue such other remedies and rights as Lender may have under any Applicable Law or at
equity.

          (b) Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by
law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan, shall accrue at the Default
Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any notice, grace or cure
periods contained herein. Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of
the Event of Default until the actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof
that is then due). To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate shall
be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be
secured by the Collateral. 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 of by Lender shall not be
deemed to cure or constitute a waiver of any Event of Default; and Lender retains its rights under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the
Debt upon the happening of any Event of Default, despite any payments made to Lender after the
occurrence of such Event of Default.

          (c) Proceeds. The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof,
or any other sums collected by Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, may be applied by Lender to
the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem
proper.

          (d) Lender Action. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may, but
without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on any Loan Party and without
releasing Borrower or any Loan Party from any Obligation, take any action in such manner and to
such extent as Lender may deem necessary to protect the Collateral and/or take any action to cure
any Event of Default, including any default under the Senior Loan, provided however, that cures of
defaults under the Senior Loan shall be after the expiration of 1/2 of any applicable cure period
granted by the Senior Loan Documents. Borrower, for itself and on behalf of each of the Loan
Parties, agrees that Lender is authorized to enter upon any of the Properties for such purposes, or
appear in, defend, or bring an action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Properties or to
collect the Debt, and the cost and expense thereof (including Professional Fees), shall constitute
a Protective Advance and shall be payable on demand.

56

 

          (e) No Cure. Lender’s or Senior Lender’s exercise of any right or remedy which has
the effect of remedying an Event of Default under the Loan Documents or any default under the
Senior Loan Documents shall not constitute a cure or waiver of such Event of Default.

          (f) Senior Loan. Lender’s remedies under this subsection shall be in addition to
Lender’s rights relating to the Senior Loan Documents set forth in Article VI of this Agreement.

          (g) No Waiver. The failure of Lender to insist upon strict performance of any term,
covenant or condition contained in the Loan Documents shall not be deemed to be a waiver,
modification, amendment or estoppel with respect to the enforcement of such term, covenant or
condition. No Loan Party shall be relieved or released from their respective Obligations by reason
of (i) the failure of Lender to comply with any request of any Loan Party to take any action to
enforce any of the provisions of the Loan Documents, (ii) the release, regardless of consideration,
of the whole or any part of the Collateral, or of any Person liable for the Debt or any portion
thereof, or (iii) any
agreement or stipulation by Lender extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or
supplementing the terms of the Loan Documents. Lender may resort for the payment of the Debt to
any Collateral held by Lender in such order and manner as Lender, in its discretion, may elect.
Lender may take action to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant
hereof without prejudice to the right of Lender thereafter to recover against the Collateral under
the Loan Documents. The rights of Lender under each of the Loan Documents shall be separate,
distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of
Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision of any Loan Document to
the exclusion of any other provision. Lender shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and
remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at
law or in equity.

     Section 9.4. Costs of Enforcement. In the event of the (i) exercise of any remedy by
Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or following the occurrence of an Event of
Default, (ii) foreclosure of the Security Instruments or Pledge Agreements, (iii) bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, rehabilitation, liquidation or other similar proceeding in respect of
any Loan Party or an assignment by any Loan Party for the benefit of its creditors, (iv)
enforcement of any obligations of or collection of any payments due from any Loan Party under this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Collateral, or (v) incurring of any
costs or expenses by Lender in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit
arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out”, then Borrower, its
successors or assigns, shall pay to Lender on demand any and all expenses, including Professional
Fees, incurred or paid by Lender in connection therewith or in protecting Lender’s interest in the
Collateral or in collecting any amount payable hereunder or in enforcing Lender’s rights hereunder
with respect to the Collateral, whether or not any legal proceeding is commenced hereunder or
thereunder and whether or not any Unmatured Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and is
continuing, together with interest

57

 

thereon at the Default Rate from the date paid or incurred by
Lender until such expenses are paid by Borrower.

     Section 9.5. Additional Waivers. Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is
continuing (i) to the maximum extent allowed by law, Lender is not subject to any “one action” or
“election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges
provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of Lender’s
remedies against the Collateral, the Security Instruments and the Pledge Agreements has been
foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been
paid in full.

Collateral or other security given to Lender under the Loan Documents.

          (b) The provisions of this Article X shall not, however, (i) constitute a waiver, release or

enforceability of any Guaranty or any of the rights and remedies of Lender against each Guarantor;

          (a) Borrower shall, and shall cause each Loan Party, to forthwith upon the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and thereafter, from time to time, at Lender’s reasonable request, cause
any of the Loan Documents (including any additional financing statements or continuation
statements) to be filed, registered or recorded in such manner and in such places as may be
required by any Applicable Law in order to publish notice of and fully to protect, perfect or
continue the perfection of any Lien or security interest in favor of Lender, and the interest of
Lender in, the Collateral. Borrower will pay or will cause the SHP Subsidiaries to pay, all taxes,
filing, registration or recording fees, and all expenses incident to the preparation, execution,
acknowledgment and/or recording of the Loan Documents, any note or other agreements supplemental
thereto, any security instrument with respect to the Collateral and any instrument of further
assurance, and any 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 Loan Documents with respect to the Collateral or any instrument of
further assurance, and any Amendment of the foregoing documents, except where prohibited by law so
to do.

          (b) Borrower will, at the sole cost and expense of Borrower, and without expense to Lender,
(i) do, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered
all and every such further acts, conveyances, assignments, Financing Statements, continuation
statements, notices of assignments, transfers and assurances as Lender shall, from time to time,
reasonably require, for the

60

 

better assuring, carrying out, conveying, assigning, transferring, pledging, hypothecating,
perfecting, preserving and confirming unto Lender the security interests, liens, property and
rights granted, bargained, sold, conveyed, confirmed, pledged, assigned, warranted and transferred
or intended now or hereafter so to be under the Loan Documents, or which Borrower may be or may
hereafter become bound to convey, assign, transfer, pledge, or hypothecate to Lender, or for
carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of the Loan Documents and
(ii) furnish or cause to be furnished to Lender all instruments, documents, certificates, insurance
reports and agreements, and each and every other document, certificate, agreement and instrument
required to be furnished by Borrower or any other Loan Party pursuant to the terms of the Loan
Documents or reasonably requested by Lender in connection therewith. Borrower and each other Loan
Party, on demand, will execute and deliver and hereby authorizes Lender to execute in the name of
Borrower or such Loan Party or without the signature of Borrower or such other Loan Party to the
extent Lender may lawfully do so, one or more financing statements, or other instruments, to
evidence more effectively the security interest of Lender in the Collateral. Borrower and each
other Loan Party 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 or under the Loan Documents.

          (c) If any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this Agreement which deducts
the Debt from the value of the Collateral for the purpose of taxation or which imposes a tax,
either directly or indirectly, on the Debt or Lender’s interest in the Collateral (other than
income, franchise and similar taxes), Borrower will pay the tax, with interest and penalties
thereon, if any. 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 or any other of
the Loan Documents or impose any other tax or charge on the same, except for any tax or imposition
imposed on the income of Lender, Borrower will pay for the same, with interest and penalties
thereon, if any. If Borrower fails to pay such tax, with interest and penalties thereon within
twenty (20) Business Days after demand therefore is made by Lender, then Lender shall have the
option, by written notice of not less than ninety (90) days, to declare the Debt immediately due
and payable.

     Section 11.2. Bankruptcy. Borrower, Lender and each other Loan Party hereby
acknowledge and agree that upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against any Loan Party
under any Bankruptcy Law, any amounts held in the Lockbox Account shall be deemed not to be
property of the bankrupt Loan Party’s bankruptcy estate within the meaning of Section 541 of the
Bankruptcy Code. In the event, however, that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that,
notwithstanding the foregoing characterization of the funds in the Lockbox Account, that the funds
in the Lockbox Account do constitute property of such Loan Party’s bankruptcy estate, then
Borrower, Lender and each other Loan Party hereby further acknowledge and agree that all such funds
in the Lockbox Account, whether due and payable before or after the filing of the petition, are and
shall be cash collateral of Lender. Borrower acknowledges that Lender does not consent to

61

 

Borrower’s or any other Person’s use of such cash collateral and that, in the event Lender
elects (in its sole discretion) to give such consent, such consent shall only be effective if given
in writing signed by Lender. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, Borrower
shall not have the right to use or apply or require the use or application of such cash collateral
unless (i) Borrower shall have received a court order authorizing the use of the same, and (ii)
Borrower shall have provided such adequate protection to Lender as shall be required by the
bankruptcy court in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code.

     Section 11.3. Lost Documents. Upon receipt of a “loss of document affidavit” executed
by Lender and Lender’s indemnity of Borrower (or, as applicable, another Loan Party), which shall
be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Borrower or otherwise customary in the
industry, with respect to all claims and losses arising from the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of any of the Loan Documents which are not of public record, and, in the case of any
such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such mutilated Loan Document, Borrower will
issue, or cause to be issued (in the case of documents issued by other Loan Parties), in lieu
thereof, a replacement Loan Document, dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated
Loan Document in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor. Each party shall
be liable for its own costs and expenses in preparing and reviewing any replacement documents and
otherwise performing its agreements under this Section 11.3.

     Section 11.4. Principles of Construction. The following principles of construction
shall apply to this Agreement:

               (i) The titles and headings of the Articles, Sections and subsections of this Agreement have
been inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to summarize or otherwise
describe the subject matter of such Articles, Sections and subsections and shall not be given any
consideration in the construction of this Agreement.

               (ii) All references to Sections and Exhibits are to Sections and Exhibits in or to this
Agreement unless otherwise specified. Any reference to “this Section” in this Agreement shall mean
the Section in which such reference appears, and shall also be deemed refer to the subsections
contained in such Section.

               (iii) Unless otherwise specified, the words “hereof”, “herein” and
“hereunder” and words of
similar import, when used in this Agreement, shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to
any particular provision of this Agreement.

               (iv) The words “includes”, “including” and similar terms shall be construed
as if followed by
the words “without limitation.”

               (v) Unless otherwise specified, all meanings attributed to defined terms herein shall be
equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of the terms so defined.

62

 

               (vi) To the extent that any provision in this Agreement requires, expressly or implicitly,
performance, observance or compliance by any Person other than Borrower (but only including those
Persons who are affiliates, agents, managers or employees of Borrower or SHP Subsidiaries), such
provision shall be construed as Borrower’s obligation to cause such other Person to perform,
observe or comply with such provision, and, accordingly, the failure by such Person to perform,
observe or comply with such provision shall be considered a breach by Borrower of its obligations
under this Agreement. Further, whenever any provision of this Agreement prohibits any Person from
doing, or requires any Person to abstain from doing, any at or thing, such provision shall be
deemed to have been breached if such act or thing is done by any other Person acting by or on
behalf of such Person.

               (vii) Definitions contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document which identify
documents, including this Agreement or any other Loan Document, shall be deemed to include all
Amendments thereto.

               (viii) Any reference in the Loan Documents to the successors or assigns of any Loan Party
shall not be construed to imply any consent or approval by Lender of any such succession or
assignment.

               (ix) Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
shall not be construed more strictly against the Lender because the Lender or its legal counsel was
the primary draftsperson of this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be.

     Section 11.5. Parties Bound, Etc. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective permitted successors and
assigns, provided nothing in this Section shall be deemed to give Borrower or any other Loan Party
the right to Transfer any interest in the Properties or Transfer any Ownership Interest except as
expressly permitted by Article VII.

     Section 11.6. Waivers. Lender may at any time and from time to time waive any one or
more of the conditions, requirements or obligations contained herein, but any such waiver shall be
deemed to be made in pursuance hereof and not in modification thereof, and any such waiver in any
instance or under any particular circumstance shall not be effective unless in writing and shall
not be considered a waiver of such condition in any other instance or any other circumstance.

     Section 11.7. Severability. If any term, covenant or provision of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, this
remainder of this Agreement or such other Loan Document shall remain in full force and effect and
shall be construed without such term, covenant or provision.

     Section 11.8. Release of Collateral. Lender may release, regardless of consideration,
any part of the Collateral without in any way impairing or affecting the validity, priority or
perfection of its Lien on or in the remaining Collateral.

63

     Section 11.10. Modification. This Agreement may not be modified, amended or
terminated, except by an agreement in writing executed by Lender and Borrower. Borrower
acknowledges that the Loan Documents set forth the entire agreement and understanding of Lender and
the Loan Parties with respect to the Loan and that no oral or other agreements, understandings,
representations or warranties exist with respect to the Loan other than those expressly set forth
in the Loan Documents.

     Section 11.11. Usury Laws. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are subject to
the express condition that at no time shall Borrower or any other Loan Party be obligated or
required to pay interest on the Debt at a rate which could subject the Lender or any holder of the
Loan Documents to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum
interest rate which Borrower or any other Loan Party is permitted by law to contract or agree to
pay. If by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Borrower or any other Loan
Party is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance of the Debt at
a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the rate of interest applicable to the Debt shall be deemed
to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and the interest payable shall be computed at such
maximum rate and all prior interest payments in excess of such maximum rate shall be applied and
shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of the principal balance of the Debt. In
determining whether or not the interest paid or payable, under any specific contingency, exceeds
the maximum nonusurious rate under applicable law, if any, the Borrower and Lender shall, to the
maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (a) characterize any nonprincipal amount as an
expense or fee rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof,
or (c) ”spread” the total amount of interest throughout the entire term of the Debt and the
Obligations so that the interest rate is uniform throughout the entire term of the Debt and the
Obligations; provided, however, that if the Debt and Obligations are paid and performed in full
prior to the end of the full contemplated term thereof, and if the interest received for the actual
period of existence thereof exceeds the maximum nonusurious rate, if any, Lender shall refund to
Borrower the amount of such excess.

     Section 11.12. Sole Discretion of Lender. Whenever pursuant to this Agreement or any
Loan Documents, Lender may approve or disapprove any act (or any action) or any document, delivery
or other item, or where Lender’s consent or approval is required in any respect or where any
document or other item must be satisfactory to Lender, except in those specific instances where
Lender has specifically agreed not to unreasonably withhold Lender’s consent pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, Lender’s approval, disapproval or consent must be
in writing, and the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove or to decide whether arrangements
or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory or to grant or withhold consent shall be in the sole,
absolute and unfettered discretion of Lender, without any express or implied obligation of
reasonableness whatsoever and shall be final and conclusive. Borrower

65

 

acknowledges and agrees that in no circumstance shall Borrower have any claim or cause of
action, in contract or in tort, against Lender as a result of the granting or withholding of any
such consent or approval. The inclusion of references to Lender’s sole or absolute discretion in
any particular provisions of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents shall not limit or affect
the applicability of this Section to all provisions of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents,
including those provisions wherein a specific reference to Lender’s sole and absolute discretion is
not made. Without limiting the preceding provisions of this Section, 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 Applicable 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, Servicer nor their agents or employees shall be liable for any special,
consequential or punitive damages whatsoever, whether in contract, tort (including negligence and
strict liability) or any other legal or equitable principles, under any circumstances whatsoever,
and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or
declaratory judgment. Additionally, Borrower agrees that unless Lender acted with gross
negligence, recklessness, in bad faith or engaged in willful misconduct, neither Lender, Servicer
nor their agents or employees shall be liable for any monetary damages of any kind whether in
contract, tort (including negligence and strict liability) or any other legal or equitable
principles, and Borrower’s sole remedy 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 or in good faith shall be determined by an action
seeking declaratory judgment.

     Section 11.13. Absolute and Unconditional Obligation. Borrower and each other Loan
Party acknowledges that the payment and performance of the Obligations in accordance with the
provisions this Agreement and the other Loan Documents is and shall at all times continue to be
absolute and unconditional in all respects, and shall at all times be valid and enforceable
irrespective of any other agreements or circumstances of any nature whatsoever which might
otherwise constitute a defense to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the Obligations or
otherwise with respect to the Loan.

     Section 11.14. Governing Law and Jurisdiction.

          (a) Governing Law. This Agreement was negotiated in part in the State of New York,
and the Loan was made by Lender in the State of New York, and the proceeds of the Loan delivered

Party agrees has a substantial relationship to the Lender and each Loan Party and to the underlying
transaction embodied hereby, and in all respects, including matters of construction, validity and
performance, this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the
State of New York applicable to contracts made and performed in such state (excluding application
of any principle of conflict of laws which would direct the application of the law of any other
jurisdiction) and any Applicable Law of the United States of America. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably

66

 

waives any claim to assert that the law of any other jurisdiction governs this Agreement, and
this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of New
York pursuant to §5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law.

          (b) SUIT BY LOAN PARTIES. EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY AGREES THAT ANY LEGAL SUIT, ACTION
OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY SUCH LOAN PARTY AGAINST LENDER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE LOAN,
THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL ONLY BE INSTITUTED IN COURTS OF THE STATE
OF NEW YORK LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK OR THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT

ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS IN ANY OTHER COURT OTHER THAN COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK OR THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

          (c) SUIT BY LENDER. WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OR ACTION ARISING HEREUNDER OR UNDER
THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, BORROWER (i) IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE
COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF
MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK, (ii) AGREES THAT ALL SUCH CLAIMS OR ACTIONS MAY BE HEARD AND
DETERMINED IN SUCH COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN SUCH
FEDERAL COURT AND (iii) IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY (A) OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE AT ANY TIME TO THE
LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT
BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT AND (B) ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY
SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY
ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT LENDER MAY COMMENCE ANY ACTION HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS
IN ANY JURISDICTION PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

          (d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. PROCESS MAY BE SERVED BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL,
POSTAGE PREPAID, TO BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS REFERRED TO IN SECTION 10.9 OF THIS AGREEMENT.

     Section 11.15. Waiver of Right to Trial By Jury. BORROWER, LENDER AND EACH OTHER LOAN
PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY

67

 

RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FOR ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (a) ARISING UNDER THE
LOAN DOCUMENTS OR (b) IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE SENIOR LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY
OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH,
OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR
CAUSE OF ACTION IS NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR
OTHERWISE; AND BORROWER, LENDER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY OF
THEM MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE
OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF ANY RIGHT THEY MIGHT OTHERWISE HAVE TO TRIAL
BY JURY.

     Section 11.16. Waiver of Statutory Rights. Neither Borrower nor any other Loan Party
shall apply for or avail itself of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or exemption laws,
or any similar laws now existing or hereafter enacted, in order to prevent or hinder the
enforcement of the Loan Documents, but hereby waives the benefit of such laws to the full extent
that it may do so under Applicable Law. Borrower and each other Loan Party for itself and all who
may claim through or under it waives any and all right to have the property and estates comprising
the Collateral marshaled and agrees that any court having jurisdiction over any exercise of
Lender’s remedies may order the Collateral sold as an entirety or in separate parts. Borrower and
each other Loan Party hereby waives for itself and all who may claim through or under it, and to
the full extent it may do so under Applicable Law, any and all rights of redemption from sale under
any order or decree of foreclosure granted under any statute now existing or hereafter enacted.

     Section 11.17. Relationship. The relationship of Lender, and the one hand, and
Borrower and each other Loan Party, on the other hand, is strictly and solely that of lender and
borrower and nothing contained in the Loan Documents or any other document or instrument now or
hereafter executed and delivered in connection therewith or otherwise in connection with the Loan
is intended to create, or shall in any event or under any circumstance be construed as creating, a
partnership, joint venture, tenancy-in-common, joint tenancy or other relationship of any nature
whatsoever between Lender, on the one hand, and all or any of Borrower or any Loan Party, on the
other hand, other than as lender and borrower. Lender neither undertakes nor assumes any
responsibility or duty to Borrower or any other Loan Party, except as expressly provided in the
Loan Documents, or to any other Person.

     Section 11.18. Lender Assignment; Securitization.

          (a) Assignment. Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby acknowledges and agrees
that Lender currently has, and shall continue to have in the

68

 

future, the absolute and unconditional right at any time after the date hereof and at any time
during the term of the Loan, at Lender’s sole cost and expense, without giving any notice to or
requiring any consent or approval from Borrower, any Loan Party or any other Person to sell,
assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer Lender’s interest in the Loan in whole or in
part, or to place one or more participation interests therein in one or more separate transactions,
or to effect a syndication or securitization of the Loan in one or more transactions, in each case
to or with such Persons, parties, entities or investors (including domestic or foreign banks,
insurance companies, pension funds, trusts, other institutional lenders or investors, natural
persons, grantor trusts, owner trusts, special purpose corporations, REMICs, FASITs, real estate
investment trusts or other similar or comparable investment vehicles) and on such terms and
conditions as Lender shall deem to be appropriate (in each case, a “Lender Transfer”).

          (b) Disclosure. In connection with any Lender Transfer, Lender shall have the
absolute and unconditional right without giving any notice to or obtaining the prior consent or
approval of any Loan Party or any other Person to disclose, deliver and to share with any
prospective purchaser or assignee of the Loan or of any securities or of any participation or other
interest therein (including any such interest to be acquired in connection with a syndication or
securitization of the Loan), or with any prospective rating agency, or their respective counsel or
representatives, such information (financial or otherwise), documents and instruments pertaining to
the Loan or any other Person, party or entity associated or connected with the Loan or the
Collateral or the Properties (collectively, the “Disclosure Material and Information”) as Lender
shall deem to be appropriate.

          (c) Cooperation. Borrower shall cooperate, and shall cause each other Loan Party and
each other Person (to the extent possible), associated or connected with the Loan or the Collateral
to cooperate, in all reasonable respects with Lender in connection with any Lender Transfer. At
Lender’s sole cost and expense, Borrower shall execute and deliver, and shall cause each Loan Party
and each other Person (to the extent possible) associated or connected with the Loan or the
Collateral or the Properties to execute and deliver, such documents and instruments as may be
reasonably necessary to (a) split the Loan into two or more loans evidenced by and pursuant to
separate sets of Note and other related loan documents, or (b) to modify the terms and provisions
of the Loan Documents, in each case to the full extent required by Lender to facilitate any Lender
Transfer, provided that (i) any such splitting or modification of the Loan will not adversely
affect or diminish the rights of any Loan Party as presently set forth in the Loan Documents and
will not increase the monetary obligations and liabilities or materially increase the non-monetary
obligations of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents, and (ii) if the Loan is split, the retained
interest of Lender, if any, in the Loan shall be allocated to or among one or more of such separate
loans in a manner specified by Lender.

          (d) Notice. Lender shall endeavor to provide notice to Borrower of a Lender Transfer
in a reasonably timely manner, but any failure by Lender to provide notice to Borrower shall not
give rise to any claim or defense on the part of any of the

69

 

Loan Parties, or limit the rights of Lender under this Section 11.18 or the Loan Documents.
Until otherwise directed in writing by Lender following a Lender Transfer, Borrower shall continue
to make all payments and deposits as required prior to such occurrence.

     Section 11.19. Brokers and Financial Advisors.

          (a) Borrower hereby represents to Lender that no Loan Party has dealt with financial advisors,
brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, (except for Riverside Management Group, who shall be paid by
Borrower). Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold the Lender harmless from and against any and all
claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Professional Fees) in any way
relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of any Loan
Party in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section
shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Debt.

          (b) Lender hereby represents to Borrower that Lender has not dealt with financial advisors,
brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. Lender agrees to indemnify and hold the Borrower harmless from and
against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Professional
Fees) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted
exclusively on behalf of Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The
provisions of this Section shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the
repayment of the Debt.

     Section 11.20. Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Borrower and each Loan Party
hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a mandatory or compulsory
counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender arising out of or in any way
connected with the Loan, the Loan Documents or the Obligations. Without limiting in any manner the
rights of any assignee of Lender’s interest at law or in equity, any assignee of Lender’s interest
in the Loan shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses.

     Section 11.21. Payment of Expenses; Protective Advances.

          (a) Loan Expenses. Borrower covenants and agrees to pay Lender and/or Servicer all
reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (“Loan Expenses”) including Professional Fees, incurred
by Lender or Servicer in connection with: (i) the Loan Parties’ ongoing performance of and
compliance with their respective agreements and covenants contained in the Loan Documents on their
part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including confirming compliance with
environmental and insurance requirements; (ii) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery
and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers, extensions or other modifications to the
Loan Documents and any other documents or matters requested by

70

 

any Loan Party or by Lender; (iii) filing and recording fees and expenses, Lender’s UCC
Insurance Policies and reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for providing to Lender all
required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens
in favor of Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; and/or (iv) enforcing or preserving any rights,
in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or prosecution or
other litigation against the Collateral or any Loan Party. All Loan Expenses shall be due and
payable within fifteen (15) days of demand.

          (b) Protective Advances. Borrower covenants and agrees to pay Lender and/or Servicer
within twenty (20) days after demand all reasonable costs and expenses including Professional Fees,
paid by Lender in connection with or as a consequence of any Unmatured Default or Event of Default
under the Loan Documents or any default under the Senior Loan, any utility costs, ground lease
payments or any other costs which Lender determines in the exercise of its sole and absolute
discretion are necessary for the operation of the Properties or for the protection of the value
thereof (“Protective Advances”). Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that all
Protective Advances shall be secured by the Loan Documents and be part of the Debt. The foregoing
shall be payable by Borrower to Lender or Servicer, as the case may be, with or without the filing
of any legal action or proceeding, and shall include any reasonable fees and expenses (including
Professional Fees) incurred in (i) any bankruptcy proceeding of any Loan Party; (ii) the collection
of the Debt, (iii) the enforcement of Lender’s rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, or
enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or

right under any or all of the Security Instruments or Pledge Agreements; (v) curing any defaults

approval of or consent to Leases, Property inspections, the participation in any Condemnation
proceedings, the

approval of any Casualty settlement or the enforcement of the Loan Documents. Any action or
inaction taken by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement and the Loan Documents shall be binding

directions given by Servicer with respect to all matters concerning the Loan and Loan Documents
unless and until Borrower receives contrary written instructions from the Lender.

made by Borrower or any other Loan Party in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan
Document is rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever (including the insolvency, bankruptcy
or reorganization of Borrower or any other Loan Party), then the Obligations of Borrower or such
Loan Party shall, to the extent of the payment rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued
in existence notwithstanding such previous payment, and the Obligations of Borrower or such Loan
Party under the Loan Documents shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be,
as to such payment, all as though such previous payment had never been made.

required to execute and deliver same pursuant to this Agreement or the Loan Documents.

in as many counterparts as may be convenient or required. It shall not be necessary that the
signature of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the signature of all Persons required to bind
any party, appear on each counterpart. All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single
document. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for
more than a single counterpart containing the respective signatures of, or on behalf of, each of
the parties hereto. Any signature page to any counterpart may be detached from such counterpart
without impairing the legal effect of the signatures thereon and thereafter attached to another
counterpart identical thereto except having attached to it additional signature pages. For
purposes hereof, facsimile signatures shall be binding on the parties to this Agreement.

4

 

B (each a “Certificate”). The Participant’s Pro Rata Share of the Loan Amount

     (b) The Participant’s execution and delivery of a Certificate in accordance herewith shall
constitute, without any further action by either Party, the Participant’s irrevocable acceptance of

writing.

assumes and agrees, to the extent of its Participation therein, to be bound by and perform all
liabilities and obligations of the Seller under the Loan Documents that arise, accrue or are
attributable to the period after the Closing Date in respect of the Participation (the “Assumed
Obligations”); provided, however, the Assumed Obligations will not include, and
the Seller hereby retains and agrees to perform, any obligations and liabilities (i) arising under
or in connection with a breach by the Seller of its representations, warranties and covenants
contained herein, (ii) under the Loan Documents arising, accruing or attributable to the period
prior to the Closing Date, (iii) arising from the Seller’s gross negligence or willful misconduct

party to the Loan Documents or are attributable to Seller’s actions or obligations as a party to
the Loan Documents but are unrelated to or not arising in connection with the Loans including
without limitation those arising pursuant to Seller’s obligations under the Management Agreement or
Development Agreement.

     (d) With respect to the Participation, the Participant’s obligations under this Agreement
shall constitute absolute, irrevocable (subject to the provisions of Section 21), unconditional and
continuing obligations and are irrespective of (i) any invalidity, unenforceability, repudiation or
insufficiency of any Loan or any of the Loan Documents, (ii) subject to the provisions of Section
16 below, any change to any Loan or Loan Documents, (iii) any force majeure affecting the
performance by the Obligor of its obligations under any Loan Documents, (iv) any default by,
insolvency of, moratorium or suspension of payments or similar arrangements or circumstances in
respect of the Obligor, (v) subject to the provisions of Section 16 below, any rescheduling,
refinancing, reduction, redenomination, subordination, release of collateral, or other change to
any Loan in each case pursuant to any event or circumstance imposed on the Seller, (vi) subject to
the provisions of Section 16 below, any requirement that the Seller take action against the Obligor
with respect to any Loan, and (vii) subject to the provisions of Section 16 below, any other
circumstances or occurrence affecting any Loan or the Loan Documents.

     (e) The Participation is acquired by the Participant without recourse (except as expressly set
forth herein) to the Seller and for the Participant’s own account and risk.

all material respects on the Closing Date;

     (b) the Participant shall have performed all of its obligations hereunder to be performed or
completed by it on or before the Closing Date, if any;

     (c) the Seller shall have (i) received this Agreement and the relevant Certificate, duly
executed on behalf of the Participant, on or before the Closing Date, and (ii) if applicable under
Section 2(b) hereof, shall have accepted such Certificate in writing; and

     (d) contemporaneously with the sale of the Participation, other participations in the Loans
shall be sold so as to effect the sale of participations in 100% of the aggregate Loan Amount of
the Loans on terms no more favorable than those provided in this Agreement.

     4. Conditions to the Participant’s Obligations. The Participant’s obligations under
Section 2 hereof with respect to the Participation are subject to the satisfaction by the
Seller or the Participant’s written waiver of the following conditions:

     (a) the representations and warranties of the Seller herein shall be true and correct in all
material respects on the Closing Date;

     (b) the Seller shall have performed all of its obligations hereunder to be performed or
completed by it on or before the Closing Date; and

     (c) the Participant shall have received this Agreement and the relevant Certificate duly
executed on behalf of the Seller duly delivered, on or before the Closing Date.

     5. Participation.

     Subject to the satisfaction by the Seller or the Participant’s written waiver of the
conditions set forth in Section 4 hereof, the Participant shall pay to the Seller the
Participant’s Pro Rata Share of the Loan Amount with respect to the Loans.

     6. Obligor Default.

     On or after receiving notice that Obligor has failed to make payment as required with respect

Indenture, exercise any rights and remedies against the Obligor under the Loan Documents in
accordance with the written direction of the Required Participants. The Participant shall
indemnify and hold harmless (to the extent of its Pro Rata Share of the Loan Amount) the Seller
from and against all losses, damages, liabilities, reasonable costs and expenses as incurred
(including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) which the Seller incurs in connection with such
exercise of rights and remedies to the extent Seller has received written direction from the

6

 

Required Participants, with respect to any such exercise, and otherwise with Seller’s efforts to
collect payment from the Obligor (except for such losses, liabilities, costs and expenses which
have been arisen out of Seller’s actual bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence).

     7. Representations, Warranties and Agreements of the Seller. With respect to the
Participation, the Seller represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Participant on and as of
the Closing Date that:

     (a) it has made no prior assignment, conveyance, transfer or grant of a participation interest
in the Transferred Interest or of any interest therein and has no obligation to do so;

     (b) the Seller is the sole legal and beneficial owner of the Transferred Interest, and it has
good title to the Transferred Interest, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances of any kind

of the Loans, the Seller, the Obligor and related transactions (including, without limitation, with
respect to the accuracy of information or the failure to disclose information). The Participant
hereby agrees that the release and waiver contained in this paragraph is unconditional and
irrevocable.

     9. Responsibilities of the Seller.

     (a) Seller shall be entitled to appoint an agent for purposes of servicing and administration
of the Loans, and the Participant irrevocably authorizes each such agent, in such capacity, to take
such action on its behalf under the Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such
duties as are expressly delegated to such agent, together with such other powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. As to any matter not provided for herein, the Seller or its agent so appointed
shall be fully protected in exercising any discretion or taking any action consistent with this
Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, neither the
Seller nor its agent shall have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth
herein, nor any fiduciary relationship with the Participant, and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or shall
otherwise exist against the Seller or its agent.

     (b) The Seller shall have the following specific powers and duties:

10

 

     (i) The Seller shall hold all of the Loan Documents in its possession for the benefit
of the Participant. The Seller shall furnish to the Participant (A) copies of the Loan
Documents, as amended from time to time, and any other agreements between the Seller and the
Obligor or any other obligor executed and delivered in connection with the Loan Documents,

copies of all financial statements required to be furnished by the Obligor pursuant to the
Loan Documents which are received by the Seller.

     (ii) The Seller shall have the right to collect the entire interest due and all
payments of principal, together with any and all other amounts due on or in connection with
the Loans. With respect to items of interest, principal and fees, the Seller shall promptly
account for and pay to the Participant, as and when the Seller shall receive the same, the
Participant’s Pro Rata Share thereof (but in no event later than one Business Day following
receipt).

     (iii) The Seller shall use due diligence to recover from the Obligor or any other party
liable therefore all expenses properly incurred which are reimbursable from the Obligor or
such other party under the Loan Documents, and is hereby authorized to retain legal counsel,
and the services of accountants and other professionals. In addition to its indemnification
obligations under Section 6 with respect to the enforcement and collection of the Loans, the
Participant shall indemnify and hold harmless (to the extent of its Pro Rata Share of the
Loan Amount) the Seller from and against all losses, damages, liabilities, reasonable costs
and expenses as incurred (including without limitation, attorneys’ fees) which the Seller
incurs in connection with the administration of the Loans (except for such losses,
liabilities, costs and expenses which have been arisen out of Seller’s actual bad faith,
willful misconduct or gross negligence).

     (iv) The Seller shall keep at all times proper books of account and records reflecting
the respective interests of the Participant and the Seller in the Loans, which records shall
be made accessible for inspection by the Participant at reasonable times during normal
business hours.

     (v) The Seller agrees, to the extent that the Seller has actual knowledge thereof, to
give the Participant prompt written notification, by certified mail return receipt
requested, of the occurrence of any (a) default under the Loans or (b) Event of Default
under the Loan Documents.

     (vi) All payments made by either party hereto shall be made by wire transfer in
immediately available federal funds, unless otherwise agreed by the parties hereto.
The Seller shall notify the Participant of any amendment, modifications, extensions or
renewals to any of the Loan Documents for which the prior written consent of the Participant
is not required under this Agreement.

     (vii) Except as otherwise provided in Section 16 below, the Seller shall have the
exclusive right, in its sole discretion, without prior notice to the Participant, to: (a)

11

 

agree to any modification of any of the terms of the Loan Documents or any other agreement
or instrument evidencing or securing the Obligations; (b) waive any such terms (including
without limitation, waive any default or event of default or waive any claim against the
Obligor) or give or withhold consents or approvals to any actions or failure to act by the
Obligor; (c) exercise or refrain from exercising, or waive, any rights or powers that Seller
may have in respect thereof; (d) agree to release or permit substitutions of collateral in
respect of the Obligations; (e) bring suit for collection or exercise of any other remedies
under the Loan Documents, (f) exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights which

with its reasonable judgment.

     (viii) The Seller shall have the right to: (a) direct the Obligor to make payment of
all amounts due or to become due to Seller directly to any agent appointed pursuant to
Section 9(a); and (b) notify such agent to maintain a lockbox or similar arrangement to
which Obligor has been directed to make payment to such lockbox or other arrangement,
maintained under the sole dominion and control of such agent, directly to such agent.

     The Seller may exercise any of its powers and perform any of its duties hereunder by or
through its agent. As soon as reasonably practicable after the appointment of any agent, the
Seller shall provide the Participant with notice of such appointment and the name and relevant
contact information of such agent.

     (c) The Seller agrees that it will exercise the same degree of care and skill in
administering, collecting and enforcing the Loans that a reasonably prudent investor would exercise
under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. Neither the Seller nor its officers,
directors, agents, attorneys or employees shall be liable to the Participant for any acts or
omissions in making, administering, collecting or enforcing the Loans unless such acts or omissions
constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, the Seller (i)
may rely on legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected or accepted by
the Seller and the Seller shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good
faith by the Seller in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts, (ii)

not be responsible for any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with the Loan
Documents or any related document or for the financial condition of the Obligor, (iii) shall not be
responsible for the performance or observance by any other party of any of the terms, covenants or
conditions of the Loan Documents or any related document, and shall not have any duty to inspect
the property (including the books and records) of the Obligor,

execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency, payment priority or
collectibility of, or for the filing or recording or otherwise perfecting a security interest in or
the priority of any such security interest, or taking of any actions with respect to the Loan
Documents, any collateral for the Loans or any related document, (v) shall incur no liability
under, or in respect of, the Loan Documents or any related document by acting upon any notice,
consent, certificate or other instrument or writing reasonably believed by the Seller to be genuine
and signed by the proper party, (vi) shall have no obligation to make any claim, or assert any lien
upon, any property held by the Seller or assert any offset in respect thereto, (vii) shall not be
deemed to be a trustee for the Participant, (viii) shall have no duties or obligations hereunder

12

 

other than those expressly provided for herein and (ix) shall have no obligation to take any action
which the Seller determines in good faith could violate applicable law, the Loan Documents or any
related document, or, unless and until it shall have been provided with adequate security and
indemnity therefor, expose the Seller to any material obligation, liability or expense.

     (d) The Seller will not, without the prior written consent of the Participant, agree to the
alteration, amendment or revision of any of the Loan Documents in any material respect if such
alteration, amendment or revision adversely affects any Loan, except to the extent that the
Required Participants are permitted to give such consent pursuant to Section 16 and the Required
Participants have provided such consent.

     10. Indemnification. The Participant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Seller
and its officers, directors, employees, agents, partners and controlling persons (together, the
“Seller Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all expenses, losses, claims,
damages, suits, proceedings and liabilities which are incurred by or threatened against the Seller
Indemnitees or any of them after the Closing Date, including but not limited to reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses caused by, or in any way resulting from or relating to the breach of
any of the representations, warranties, agreements or covenants of the Participant set forth in
this Agreement (except for any such expenses, losses, claims, damages, suits, proceedings and
liabilities which have arisen out of the actual bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence
of any Seller Indemnitee). The Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Participant and its
officers, directors, employees, agents, partners and controlling persons (together, the
“Participant Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all expenses, losses, claims,
damages, suits, proceedings and liabilities which are incurred by or threatened against the
Participant Indemnitees or any of them after the Closing Date, including but not limited to
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses caused by, or in any way resulting from or relating to the
breach of any of the representations, warranties, agreements or covenants of the Seller set forth
in this Agreement (except for any such expenses, losses, claims, damages, suits, proceedings and
liabilities which have arisen out of the actual bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence
of any Participant Indemnitee).

     11. Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein, each party to this
Agreement shall bear its own costs and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and
expenses, in connection with the Participation contemplated hereby.

     12. Payments.

     (a) All payments to be made by either Party hereunder shall be (i) made in United States
Dollars, and (ii) made without setoff, counterclaim or other deduction in immediately available
funds by wire transfer, or by any other means agreed to by both Parties, to the account of the
relevant Party as specified in Schedule I hereto (including for the avoidance of doubt, in
the case of the Seller, an account of any paying agent on behalf of the Seller);

     (b) All amounts payable hereunder are payable free of any withholding tax or levy, other than
taxes imposed on the net income of the Parties, and such taxes or levies shall be paid to the
applicable governmental authority by the payer of such amounts without deduction from any amount
payable hereunder;

13

 

     (c) Whenever the Seller receives a payment of any kind in respect of the Loans (including
fees, commissions and interest), it will pay over the same to the Participant (or to any agent
appointed by the Participant for purposes of receiving and distributing such payment) on a pro rata
basis on the next Business Day after receipt by the Seller thereof in the same kind of funds or
property received and duly endorsed when appropriate, free of any deduction, withholding or set-off
of any kind (except as expressly permitted by this Agreement). If securities are to be issued
pursuant to a plan of reorganization or restructuring or otherwise, in payment of, in substitution
for or for application against the Seller’s Interest, the Seller shall promptly notify the
Participant of such prospective issuance and shall use its best efforts to cause such securities to
be registered and issued in such names as the Participant or its agent shall direct in writing; and

     (d) If any Party shall fail to pay any amount due hereunder in accordance herewith, then such
Party shall pay interest on such payment for the period from the day on which such payment is due,
to (but excluding) the day such amount is actually paid to the Participant, at a rate equal to the
Interest Rate; provided, however, that for the avoidance of any doubt with respect
to amounts payable under Section 12(c) hereof, such interest payment obligations shall
apply only to any such amounts payable by the Seller in the form of cash.

     13. Prepayment. As soon as practical after receipt of any partial prepayment, the
parties hereto shall execute and deliver to the Participant a Certificate replacing the appropriate
original Certificate with terms and conditions amended to reflect such partial prepayment unless
otherwise agreed to in writing.

     14. Ownership. The Parties agree and acknowledge that the purchase and sale under
Section 2 hereof creates a sale and transfer of the Seller’s property interests to the
extent of Participant’s Participation, and not a mere debtor-creditor relationship between the
parties. This Agreement shall in no way be construed as a loan by the Participant to the Seller or
as creating any other relationship between the parties. The Transferred Interest of the
Participant shall constitute an equitable interest in the Loans, as contemplated by Section 541(d)
of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended (11 U.S.C. Section 541(d)). The Participation and
all payments, securities or other proceeds received or recovered by the Seller in respect thereof
shall, to the extent of Participant’s Participation, be the Participant’s property and shall be
held by the Seller on behalf and for the sole benefit of the Participant until paid over to the
Participant and the Seller shall have no legal, equitable or beneficial interest in any of the
foregoing.

     15. Information and Documents. To the extent permitted by the Loan Documents and
subject to Section 17(j) hereof, the Seller shall promptly furnish to the Participant
copies of all Loan Documents received by the Seller or offered by the Obligor to the Seller from
time to time. The Seller shall give the Participant prompt written notice of any of the following
of which the Seller becomes aware: (a) any proposed payment or delivery of property in respect of
the Transferred Interest, (b) any request for any amendment, waiver or modification of the terms of
any of the Loan Documents if such requested amendment, waiver or modification relates to any Loan,
and (c) any act, decision or vote proposed or to be made by the Seller in connection with the Loan
Documents or the Obligor with respect to the Loans. Failure of the Seller to provide any of the
foregoing information shall not result in any liability on the part of the Seller, subject

14

 

to Section 16 hereof.

     16. Acts and Decisions. Except as otherwise prohibited or restricted by the Loan
Documents (and such prohibitions and restrictions are hereby incorporated by reference as if set
forth herein) or applicable law, Participant agrees that, with regard to the Transferred Interest,
Seller shall act or refrain from acting in respect of any request, act or decision under the Loan
Documents (each an “Action”) in accordance with the directions, or pursuant to the consent
of, the Required Participants. Participant acknowledges that it shall be bound by any such Actions
of the Seller; provided, that any Action to (i) postpone any date fixed by any Loan Document for
any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due to the Seller with respect to the
Seller’s Interest, (ii) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified in any Loan
Document with respect to any Loan, (iii) release or otherwise discharge of any security interest or
lien granted to the Seller under the Loan Documents; (iv) release the Obligor or any other person
now or hereafter liable for any of the Obligations, whether as co-makers, endorsers, guarantors,
sureties, indemnitors or otherwise or (v) change the definition of “Required Participants” under
any participation agreement with respect to the Loans so that it modifies the definition of such
term herein as of the date of this Agreement, shall require the consent of all participants of all
the Loans.

     17. Miscellaneous.

     (a) Survival. All warranties, representations, and covenants made by the Parties
shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Parties hereto and shall survive any due
diligence or other investigation of the Obligor by the Participant, the Closing Date hereunder and
the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and all other documents contemplated
herein.

     (b) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement, including without limitation, the
representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, (i) shall inure to the benefit of and
be enforceable by the respective parties and their respective successors, assigns, participants and
transferees and (ii) shall be binding upon and enforceable against the respective Parties, and
their respective successors, assigns and transferees.

     (c) Further Assurances. Each of the Parties agrees to execute and deliver, or to
cause to be executed and delivered, all such instruments, and to take all such action as the other
Party

terms of this Agreement.

     (d) Counterpart Execution. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be an original, but all of which

such amendment or waiver (in which case such amendment or waiver shall be applicable to this
Agreement and shall bind and be enforceable against all of the participants of the Loans), (i) no
amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and

15

 

signed
by each Party, and (ii) no waiver of any provision of this Agreement, nor consent to any departure
by any Party from the terms hereof, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the
other Party. In any case, a waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and
for the specific purpose for which given. No failure on the part of either Party to exercise, and
no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any related document shall operate as a waiver
thereof by such party, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder or under any
other related document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right. The rights and remedies of each Party provided herein and in other related documents (A)
are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law
and (B) are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by such Party to exercise any of its
rights under any other related document against the other party or any other entity.

case of electronic notice, at the time of actual transmission.

constitute the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties hereto with respect to the
subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings or representations

representations or other agreements between the Parties in connection with the subject matter
hereof except as specifically set forth or incorporated herein.

     (i) Captions and Headings. The captions and headings in this Agreement are for

They shall not be deemed to be part of this Agreement and in no way define, limit, extend or
describe the scope or intent of any provisions hereof.

     (j) Confidentiality. Each Party agrees that, except as may be compelled by legal
process or by an order, judgment or decree of a court or other governmental authority of competent
jurisdiction or as may be required by statute, rule or regulation or as may be required by any
regulator, organization of regulators or any self-regulator, it shall not disclose to any Person
the terms or conditions of this Agreement or any document executed or delivered in connection
herewith; provided, however, that (i) the Seller may disclose this Agreement and

governmental regulatory authority (including without limitation the National Indian Gaming
Commission) and any other participant of the Loans, (ii) the Participant may disclose this
Agreement and the documents executed or delivered in connection herewith (other than the purchase

counsel and other legal and financial advisors, and (iii) either Party may disclose this Agreement
and the documents executed or delivered in connection herewith to its counsel and other legal and
financial advisors, subject to appropriate confidentiality undertakings. With respect to the
Participation, the Participant agrees for the benefit of the Seller and the other parties to the
relevant Loan Documents, to maintain the confidentiality of all non-public information provided to
it under or connection with this Agreement or the Participation to the extent consistent with the
requirements of the Loan Documents and applicable law.

     (k) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement or
document delivered in connection with this Agreement, if any, is partially or completely invalid or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then that provision shall be ineffective in that jurisdiction to
the extent of its invalidity or unenforceability, but the invalidity or unenforceability of that
provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement,
all of which shall be construed and enforced as if that invalid or unenforceable provision were
omitted, nor shall the invalidity or unenforceability of that provision in one jurisdiction affect
its validity or enforceability in any other jurisdiction.

     (l) Jurisdiction. Each Party hereby irrevocably consents to the personal jurisdiction
of the courts of the State of New York and of the United States of America sitting in the Southern
District of New York, in any action to enforce, interpret or construe any provision of this

action to enforce, interpret or construe any provision of this Agreement will be brought only in
either of those courts and not in any other court.

     (m) Service of Process by Mail. Each Party hereby irrevocably consents to the service
by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, to be sent to its address stated in
subsection (g) above or to such other address as it may designate from time to time by
notice given in the manner provided above, of any process in any action to enforce, interpret or
construe
any provision of this Agreement.

     (n) Jury Trial Waiver. Each Party hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding
directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or
the Participation contemplated hereby (whether based on contract, tort or any other theory). Each
Party (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other Person has represented,
expressly or otherwise, that such other Person would not, in the event of litigation, seek to
enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other Party have been induced to
enter into this Agreement, among other things, by the mutual waivers and certifications in this
Section.

     (o) Certain Conduct and Other Matters. Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Agreement to the contrary, neither Party shall assume any liability from the other Party or be
responsible for or indemnify the other Party for any losses, liabilities or claims that result from
the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Party. No provision of this Agreement
shall create any third party beneficiary rights in any person except, with respect to Sections 8(f)
to (j) (inclusive) only, BAS.

     20. Assignment.

     Neither Party may assign its rights and obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided
however, with respect to any Loan the Seller shall be entitled to participate out additional
interests in such Loan without notice to or consent from the Participant; provided further,
that with respect to the Participation the Participant shall be entitled to sub-participate out
interests in the Participation without notice to or consent from the Seller (provided, for the
avoidance of doubt, the Participant shall not be released from any of its obligations hereunder and
the terms of such sub-participation shall be on substantially similar to the terms hereunder but
with respect to a sub-participation between the Participant and the sub-participant). Except to
the extent permitted under Section 21, on and from the Closing Date neither the Seller nor any of
its affiliates may purchase or repurchase any participation or sub-participation in the Loans.

     21. Regulatory Concerns.

     In the event that a Participant, assignee, or Person holding a sub-participation (a “Holder”)
is determined to be a Disqualified Holder, the Seller shall have the right to repurchase such
Holder’s interests in a Loan by payment to such Holder of the outstanding principal balance of such
interests, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon, held by such Holder.
