Exhibit 10.24.9

EARLY RATE LOCK AGREEMENT

     This Early Rate Lock Agreement is made as of October 5, 2005 by and between Ashford
Hospitality Limited Partnership and Ashford Hospitality Trust, Inc. (collectively,
“Borrower”), and Merrill Lynch Mortgage Lending, Inc., individually and as agent for its
affiliates (“ML”).

	1.	 	Borrower has executed and delivered to ML a Commitment Letter dated October 5, 2005 (the
“Commitment Letter”) for additional mortgage debt in the approximate principal amount
of up to $210,800,000 (the “Specified Principal Amount”) with regard to financing
certain properties identified on Exhibit A to the Commitment Letter (the “Property”).
All terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the
Commitment Letter.
	 
	2.	 	Borrower has requested that, as an accommodation to Borrower, and at Borrower’s sole risk,
cost and expense, ML lock in advance the interest rate for the Specified Principal Amount (the
“Rate Lock”), in connection with ML’s issuance of the Commitment Letter,
notwithstanding that all of the conditions necessary to fund the Loan as set forth therein
have not yet been fulfilled and satisfied by Borrower. In addition, ML has agreed to extend
the term on approximately $83,825,000 (the “Extended Amount”) of the Prior Financing
(as defined in the Commitment Letter) from July 1, 2015 to February 1, 2016, it being
understood and agreed that ML shall incur certain breakage costs and expenses in connection
therewith and that Borrower will be responsible for the payment of all such costs and
expenses, as well as for the higher yield on longer term debt instruments. Borrower
acknowledges that ML has not completed its due diligence review, except as otherwise set forth
in the Commitment Letter.
	 
	3.	 	Neither this Agreement nor any Confirmation (as hereinafter defined) shall constitute a
commitment to lend, either express or implied. ML’s commitment to make the Loan is documented
in the Commitment Letter.
	 
	4.	 	Borrower shall be permitted to enter into the Rate Lock transaction (the
“Transaction”) with regard to the requested Specified Principal Amount subject to the
terms of this Agreement. Such Transaction shall be evidenced by a confirmation in the form
attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit A (the “Confirmation”) setting
forth, among other things, the “Fixed Rate” on the Specified Principal Amount and on
each Loan, the “Specified Principal Amount”, the “Initial Rate Lock Deposit”,
the “Breakage Multiplier”, the “Base Swap Rate Index”, the “Base Swap
Rate”, the “Margin Threshold”, the “Initial CMBS Spread Index”, the
“CMBS Spread Index”, the “Fixed Rate Period” of the Transaction, the Fixed
Rate on the Extended Amount, and the Extended Amount Per Diem.
	 
	5.	 	In order to effect the Transaction, ML may or may not enter into certain hedging arrangements
and/or a series of combined or offsetting transactions in its sole and absolute discretion
through the purchase or sale of United States Treasury notes, swap contracts, or any other
instruments deemed necessary or appropriate, any of which may be with an affiliate of ML
(collectively, “Hedging Arrangements”). Notwithstanding the

 

 

	 	 	terms hereof, ML will not be required to Rate Lock on any day or at any time at which, in
ML’s sole and absolute judgment, there is not an orderly market.
	 
	6.	 	Borrower understands and agrees that ML is under no obligation to give, and will not give,
Borrower the benefit of any decline in interest rates subsequent to ML’s locking of the
interest rate hereunder.
	 
	7.	 	In consideration for ML agreeing to the early interest rate lock and the extension of the
maturity dates on the Extended Loans, Borrower has agreed to deposit with ML an Initial Rate
Lock Deposit which shall be held by ML in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The
interest rate on the Specified Principal Amount will be the Fixed Rate as set forth on the
Confirmation, which will be calculated pursuant to the Commitment Letter. With respect to any
loans currently secured by the Remaining CNL Pools (as defined in the Commitment) that ML
elects to increase in accordance with the Commitment, the amended and restated Loans will have
an interest rate equal to the weighted average of the existing interest rates on the principal
balances of such loans prior to being increased and the Interest Rate locked in accordance
herewith on the applicable portion of the Specified Principal Amount, subject to adjustment as
set forth herein and as otherwise discussed by the parties. In addition, the Interest Rate on
the Extended Loans (as defined in the Commitment) shall be increased in order to compensate ML
for all breakage and other costs incurred by ML in connection with the extension of the term
on the Extended Loans, as set forth in the Commitment (unless Borrower elects to reimburse ML
for such costs in cash at closing) as well as for the higher yield on longer term debt
instruments. The second page of the Confirmation sets forth the Fixed Rates on each of the
Loans expected to be funded pursuant to the Commitment Letter. ML reserves the right to
re-allocate coupon and principal among the Loans, it being understood and agreed that ML
intends to re-allocate coupon from Loan 1 to Loans 2, 3 and 7, as set forth on the
Confirmation. If at any time during the Fixed Rate Period, (i) the number of basis points by
which the Base Swap Rate Index decreases from the Base Swap Rate exceeds (ii) the Margin
Threshold, the Borrower shall be required, no later than 10:00 am (New York City time) on the
business day following notice thereof (the “Losses Payment Date”) to deposit
additional funds with ML by wire transfer an amount sufficient to bring the cumulative Rate
Lock Deposits to an amount equal to the Initial Rate Lock Deposit plus the current value of
the sum of the Principal Losses (as hereinafter defined) plus Per Diem Carrying Costs (as
hereinafter defined). In addition, if at any time during the Fixed Rate Period, the accrued
Per Diem Carrying Costs (as hereinafter defined) are greater than one-half of one (1) percent
of the Specified Principal Amount then the Borrower shall be required, no later than 10:00 am
(New York City time) on the business day following notice thereof (the “Losses Payment
Date”) to deposit additional funds with ML by wire transfer an amount sufficient to bring
the cumulative Rate Lock Deposits to an amount equal to the Initial Rate Lock Deposit plus the
current value of the sum of the Principal Losses (as hereinafter defined) plus Per Diem
Carrying Costs (as hereinafter defined). Borrower acknowledges and agrees that ML may require
one or more additional Rate Lock Deposits at any time during the Fixed Rate Period as provided
above. If Borrower fails to post required additional Rate Lock Deposits with ML by any Losses
Payment Date, ML may, in its sole discretion, declare a default hereunder, in which event (i)
the interest rate for the Specified Principal Amount will no longer be fixed at the Fixed
Rate, (ii) ML may unwind the Hedging Arrangements, and (iii)

 

 

	 	 	ML’s only obligation hereunder to Borrower shall be to return all Rate Lock Deposits less
any Breakage Costs (as hereinafter defined). Borrower shall promptly upon demand remit to ML
the amount of any Breakage Costs (as hereinafter defined) in excess of the Rate Lock
Deposits. Borrower hereby pledges all Rate Lock Deposits to ML as security for the
obligations of Borrower hereunder. Borrower agrees to act and negotiate in good faith to
consummate the closing of the Loan during and after the Fixed Rate Period, including,
without limitation, (a) providing to ML, promptly upon request therefor, all due diligence
materials reasonably requested by ML and (b) executing final loan documents and other
agreements satisfactory to ML.
	 
	8.	 	Upon the closing of the Loan, Borrower shall pay ML Per Diem Carrying Costs and the Extended
Amount Per Diem from the date hereof through the date of closing. In the event that the Loan
amount is less than the Specified Principal Amount or the Loan fails to close for any reason,
other than by Borrower default, and in any case, the Transaction is terminated by ML in its
sole discretion, ML shall return the balance, if any, of all Rate Lock Deposits less Breakage
Costs (as hereinafter defined). “Breakage Costs” shall be equal to the sum of all Principal
Losses (as defined herein), Per Diem Carrying Costs (as defined herein), damages, losses,
liabilities, legal fees, costs, and other fees and expenses, plus any breakage costs and
expenses and all other costs and expenses incurred by ML in connection with the extension of
the term on approximately the Extended Amount of the Prior Financing (as defined in the
Commitment Letter) from July 1, 2015 to February 1, 2016. Per Diem Carrying Costs will be
calculated as the amount equal to the product of (i) the Per Diem Charge (as set forth on the
Confirmation) multiplied by (ii) the number of days, commencing on and including the date
hereof through and including the date of closing or the date the Transaction is otherwise
terminated. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it shall be liable for, and fully
responsible to pay ML, all Breakage Costs. If, upon the termination of the Transaction, the
Rate Lock Deposit is not sufficient to cover the Breakage Costs, Borrower agrees to pay to ML
such deficiency immediately upon demand. Borrower further agrees that any loan expense
deposit, application fee and/or commitment fee or any loan commitment which may be issued may,
at ML’s option, be applied to the payment of Breakage Costs. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in the Commitment Letter, in no event shall the Initial Deposit (as defined
in the Commitment Letter), application fee or commitment fee be returned to Borrower until all
Breakage Costs have been paid in full. Principal Losses will be calculated as the amount
equal to the sum of (A) the product of (i) the Breakage Multiplier multiplied by the (ii) the
number of basis points by which the Base Swap Rate Index decreases from the Base Swap Rate,
plus (B) the product of (i) Breakage Multiplier multiplied by (ii) the number of basis points
by which the CMBS Spread Index decreases from the Initial CMBS Spread Index. In the event the
Loan closes, but the principal amount of the Loan at closing is less than the Specified
Principal Amount, Borrower will be required to pay the Pro-Rata amount of the Breakage Costs
represented by the amount by which the Specified Principal Amount exceeds the principal amount
of the Loan at closing.
	 
	9.	 	Borrower agrees that if the Loan does not close during the Fixed Rate Period, ML has the
option to extend the terms of this Agreement and require Borrower to execute an
acknowledgement of such extension and pay the applicable extension fees (the “Extension
Acknowledgement”). In addition, if Loan 1 closes and funds on or before

 

 

	 	 	October 12, 2005, then Borrower shall have the option of extending this Agreement through
December 15, 2005. This Agreement shall govern until any such Extension Acknowledgement is
executed. In the event of any extension beyond the Fixed Rate Period, in addition to all
other sums due in connection herewith, Borrower agrees to pay to ML Per Diem Carrying Costs
and the Extended Amount Per Diem through the date of closing.
	 
	10.	 	Borrower agrees that in the event Borrower willfully fails or refuses to close the Loan in
connection with its acquisition of the Property, fails to act and negotiate in good faith to
consummate the closing of the Loan during the Fixed Rate Period as set forth in Paragraph 7
hereof, or otherwise defaults under this Agreement or the Commitment Letter, the entire Rate
Lock Deposit shall become non-refundable, be deemed immediately earned and be retained by ML.
In such event, Borrower shall be and remain liable for all Breakage Costs, and if the Rate
Lock Deposit is not sufficient to cover the Breakage Costs, Borrower agrees to pay to ML such
deficiency immediately upon demand. Borrower shall not be entitled to any hedge gains
realized by ML under any circumstance, except in the event that the Loans do not close solely
as a result of a wilful event of default by ML hereunder in which case Borrower shall be
entitled to any actual gains realized by ML after deduction for any fees, costs and expenses
incurred by ML.
	 
	11.	 	Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold ML harmless from and against all costs, fees
and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by ML pursuant to this
Agreement and/or the rate lock Transaction.
	 
	12.	 	In the event that a default of Borrower or any affiliate thereof shall occur under the
Commitment Letter or this Agreement (including, without limitation, the commencement of a case
under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or other creditor protection action or proceeding by or with
respect to Borrower), ML may, at its option, terminate the Transaction upon written notice to
Borrower. In such event, Borrower shall be and remain liable for all Breakage Costs and any
other amounts as otherwise provided in this Agreement.
	 
	13.	 	This Agreement represents the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect
to its subject matter and supersedes all oral communications and prior writings. No
amendment, modification or waiver under this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing
signed by the parties hereto. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York. Each Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable
hereunder.
	 
	14.	 	Simultaneously with the locking of the rate on the Specified Principal Amount, ML shall
extend the Extended Amount of the Prior Financing Loans such that Prior Financing Loans in the
amount of the Extended Amount shall have a maturity date of February 1, 2016, as described in
paragraph 7 above. The new Interest Rate on the Extended Amount shall be as set forth in the
Confirmation, provided that ML reserves the right to re-allocate coupon among the Loans. In
addition to any other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder, Borrower shall pay to ML, upon
closing of all of the Loans, all additional accrued interest on the Extended Amount from the
date of the Rate Lock through and

 

 

	 	 	including the closing date (“Extended Amount Per Diem”). If the new Loans do not
close for any reason, then Borrower promptly upon the request of ML deliver all required
loan documentation to amend the Prior Financing documentation to reflect the revised
interest rate and term on the Extended Amount and pay the Extended Amount Per Diem through
the date of such amendment. The Confirmation sets forth the locked rates on the Loans, it
being understood that these rates assume that the Extended Amount Per Diem is paid in cash.
ML reserves the right to re-allocate coupon and principal among the Loans.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have duly executed this Agreement as of the date first above
written.

               (i) On the Payment Date occurring in December, 2005, and on each Payment Date
thereafter to and including the Payment Date occurring in July, 2010, Borrower shall pay to
Lender a monthly payment of interest only on the unpaid Principal Indebtedness, in the
amounts set forth on the amortization schedule attached hereto as Schedule 3, which
payments shall be calculated using the Interest Rate.

30

 

               (ii) On the Payment Date occurring in August, 2010, and on each Payment Date
thereafter, Borrower shall pay to Lender a monthly constant payment in the amount of
$958,657.90,which amount is calculated by using the Interest Rate and a 25-year amortization
schedule.

               (c) Payment Dates. All payments required to be made pursuant to paragraph (b) above
shall be made beginning on the first Payment Date; provided, however, that Borrower
shall pay interest for the first Interest Accrual Period on the Closing Date.

               (d) Calculation of Interest. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal
balance of the Loan and all other amounts due to Lender under the Loan Documents commencing upon
the Closing Date. Interest shall be computed on the actual number of days elapsed, based on a 360
day year.

               (e) Default Rate Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, and at the sole option of Lender and without need for notice to the Borrowers, the
entire unpaid amount outstanding hereunder and under the Notes will bear interest at the Default
Rate.

               (f) Late Charge. If Borrowers fail to make any payment of any sums due under the Loan
Documents on the date when the same is due, Borrowers shall pay a Late Charge.

               (g) Other Payments. On each Payment Date, Borrowers shall pay to Lender (for
allocation as set forth herein) the Basic Carry Costs Monthly Installment, the Required Debt
Service Payment, the Ground Rents Monthly Installment, the Capital Reserve Monthly Installment and
any and all fees and other amounts then due to the Cash Collateral Account Bank, all for the then
Current Interest Accrual Period, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.11.

               (h) Maturity Date. On the Maturity Date, Borrowers shall pay to Lender all amounts
owing under the Loan Documents including, without limitation, interest, principal, Late Charges,
Default Rate interest and any Prepayment Premium.

               (i) Prepayment Premium. Upon any prepayment of the Principal Indebtedness, including,
without limitation, in connection with an acceleration of the Loan, but excluding a prepayment made
in connection with Section 2.6(b) hereof, Borrowers shall pay to Lender on the date of such
prepayment or acceleration of the Loan the Prepayment Premium applicable thereto. All Prepayment
Premium payments hereunder shall be deemed earned by Lender upon the funding of the Loan.

     Section 2.6. Prepayment.

               (a) Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may voluntarily
prepay the Indebtedness in full and not in part (i) only on or prior to the day that is two (2)
years after the Start-Up Day, and such prepayment shall be subject to payment of Prepayment
Premium, and (ii) only on or after the date which is sixty (60) days prior to the Maturity Date and
there shall be no Prepayment Premium or penalty assessed against

31

 

Borrower by reason of such prepayment; provided, however, that Borrower shall
give to Lender at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice of any such prepayment. Any
prepayment of the Loan shall be made on a Payment Date, and if any such prepayment is not made on a
Payment Date, Borrower shall also pay to Lender interest calculated at the Interest Rate that would
have accrued on such prepaid Principal Indebtedness through the end of the Interest Accrual Period
in which such prepayment occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Permitted Transfers, defeasance in
accordance with Section 2.10 and Property Substitutions in accordance with Section
2.14 are not prepayments.

               (b) Subject to Section 8.40 and to any contrary requirements of the Ground Lease, at
any time during the term of the Loan, if any Borrower is required by Lender under the provisions of
any Mortgage to prepay the Loan or any portion thereof in the event of damage to or destruction of,
or a Taking of any Individual Property, such Borrower shall pay any Insurance Proceeds or
Condemnation proceeds in the following manner and order of priority (i) first, to prepay the Loan
to the full extent of the Insurance Proceeds or the Condemnation Proceeds, as applicable, to the
extent of the Allocated Loan Amount for the applicable Individual Property, and (ii) to the
Borrowers.

               (c) All prepayments of the Indebtedness made pursuant to this Section shall be applied by
Lender in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.7 hereof.

               (d) No Borrower shall be permitted at any time to prepay all or any part of the Loan except as
expressly provided in this Section.

     Section 2.7. Application of Payments.

          At all times, all proceeds of repayment, including without limitation any payment or recovery
on the Collateral and any prepayments on the Loan, shall be applied to the Note and to such amounts
payable by Borrowers under the Loan Documents and in such order and in such manner as Lender shall
elect in Lender’s discretion.

     Section 2.8. Payment of Debt Service, Method and Place of Payment.

               (a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this
Agreement and the Notes shall be made to Lender not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on
the date when due, and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in federal or
other immediately available funds to an account specified to Borrower by Lender in writing, and any
funds received by Lender after such time, for all purposes hereof, shall be deemed to have been
paid on the next succeeding Business Day.

               (b) All payments made by any Borrower hereunder or by any Borrower under the other Loan
Documents, shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction for, any set-offs or
counterclaims.

     Section 2.9. Taxes.

          All payments made by any Borrower under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents
shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on

32

 

account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties,
charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, now or
hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority (all such
non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings and
liabilities, collectively, “Applicable Taxes”). If any Borrower shall be required by law
to deduct any Applicable Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Lender, the
following shall apply: (i) such Borrower shall make all such required deductions, (ii) the sum
payable to Lender shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required
deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section
2.9(a)), Lender receives an amount equal to the sum Lender would have received had no such
deductions been made and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. Payments made pursuant to
this Section 2.9(a) shall be made within ten (10) Business Days after Lender makes written
demand therefor.

     Section 2.10. Defeasance.

          Borrower shall not be permitted at any time to defease all or any portion of the Loan except
as expressly provided in this Section 2.10. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, after the date which is two (2) years after the Start-Up Day of the last Note
securitized, Borrower may voluntarily defease all of the Loan (a “Full Defeasance”) or a
portion of the Loan (a “Partial Defeasance”), in either case, subject to the satisfaction
of the following conditions precedent:

               (a) Any Full Defeasance or Partial Defeasance of the Loan by Borrower shall be made on a
Payment Date,

               (b) Borrower shall provide not less than fifteen (15) days prior written notice to Lender
specifying (i) a Payment Date (the “Defeasance Release Date”) on which the Full Defeasance
or Partial Defeasance is to occur, and (ii) in the event of a Partial Defeasance, the Individual
Property proposed to be defeased; provided, that, Borrower shall be required to defease the
Loan on the Defeasance Release Date specified in such notice unless such notice is revoked in
writing by Borrower prior to the such Defeasance Release Date in which event Borrower shall
immediately reimburse Lender for any reasonable costs incurred by Lender in connection with
Borrower’s giving of such notice and revocation,

               (c) Borrower shall have paid to Lender all principal and interest accrued and unpaid on the
Principal Indebtedness to and including the Defeasance Release Date,

               (d) Borrower shall pay to Lender all reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses associated
with the Full Defeasance or Partial Defeasance, as applicable (including, without limitation, fees
of Rating Agencies and accountants, and fees incurred in connection with the delivery of opinion
letters related to such Full Defeasance or Partial Defeasance, as applicable), reasonable fees and
out-of-pocket costs of any loan servicer (if any) in connection with the Full Defeasance or Partial
Defeasance, as applicable, and all other sums then due and payable under the Loan Documents,

33

 

               (e) Borrower shall either deposit with Lender an amount equal to the Defeasance Deposit, or,
at Lender’s request, deliver to Lender the Defeasance Collateral. In connection with the
foregoing, Borrower appoints Lender as Borrower’s agent for the purpose of applying the Defeasance
Deposit to purchase the Defeasance Collateral,

               (f) Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender all documents reasonably required by Lender
(i) in the case of a Full Defeasance, to amend and restate the Note in a principal amount equal to
the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan (the “Full Defeased Note”), and (ii) in
the case of a Partial Defeasance, to issue two substitute notes as follows: (A) one promissory
note in a principal amount equal to 125% of the Allocated Loan Amount of the Individual Property to
be defeased (the “Defeased Note”); and (B) the other promissory note having a principal
balance equal to the Allocated Loan Amounts of all Individual Properties (including the Individual
Property being defeased) less the amount of the Defeased Note (the “Undefeased Note”). The
Defeased Note and the Undefeased Note shall have terms identical to the terms of the Note, except
for the principal balance and a pro rata allocation of the Required Debt Service Payment. Neither
a Full Defeased Note nor a Defeased Note may be the subject of any further defeasance; after a
Partial Defeasance, all references herein and in the other Loan Documents to “Note” shall be deemed
to mean the Undefeased Note, unless expressly provided otherwise,

               (g) Borrower shall deliver to Lender the following items:

               (i) a security agreement, in form and substance satisfying the Prudent Lender Standard,
creating a first priority perfected Lien on the Defeasance Deposit and the Defeasance
Collateral (the “Security Agreement”),

               (ii) for execution by Lender, a release of each applicable Individual Property being
defeased from the lien of the applicable Mortgage in a form appropriate for the jurisdiction
in which such Individual Property is located,

               (iii) an Officer’s Certificate of Borrower certifying that the requirements set forth
in this Section 2.10 have been satisfied including, without limitation, that no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,

               (iv) an opinion of counsel in form and substance satisfying the Prudent Lender Standard
stating, among other things, (A) that, the Defeasance Collateral has been duly and validly
assigned and delivered to Lender and Lender has a first priority perfected security interest
in and Lien on the Defeasance Deposit and a first priority perfected security interest in
and Lien on the Defeasance Collateral and the Proceeds thereof and (B) that the subject
Partial Defeasance will not adversely affect the status of any REMIC formed in connection
with a Secondary Market Transaction, and

               (v) such other certificates, documents or instruments as Lender may reasonably request
including, without limitation, (A) written confirmation from the relevant Rating Agencies
that such Partial Defeasance will not cause any Rating Agency to withdraw, qualify or
downgrade the then-applicable rating on any security issued in connection with any Secondary
Market Transaction and (B) a certificate from an

34

 

Independent certified public accountant certifying that the Defeasance Collateral
complies with all of the requirements of this Section 2.10,

               (h) In the case of a Partial Defeasance, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio with respect to the
Undefeased Note shall be equal to or greater than (i) 1.51:1.00, and (ii) the Debt Service Coverage
Ratio with respect to the Loan for the trailing twelve (12) months immediately prior to such
Partial Defeasance, and

               (i) In the case of a Partial Defeasance, the RevPAR with respect to the Individual Properties
securing the Undefeased Note shall be equal to or greater than (i) RevPAR with respect to all of
the Individual Properties as of the Closing Date, and (ii) RevPAR with respect to all of the
Individual Properties for the trailing twelve (12) months immediately prior to such Partial
Defeasance, each as determined in accordance with the Prudent Lender Standard.

          Upon compliance with the requirements of this Section 2.10, the Individual Property
which is the subject of such Full Defeasance or Partial Defeasance shall be released from the lien
of the applicable Mortgage, and shall thereafter no longer be subject to restrictions on transfer
set forth herein.

          In connection with a defeasance of the Loan, Borrower shall assign to an entity, which entity
which shall be a Special-Purpose Entity (the “Successor Obligor”), all of Borrower’s
obligations under the Full Defeased Note or Defeased Note, as the case may be, the other Loan
Documents and the Security Agreement, together with the pledged Defeasance Collateral. The
Successor Obligor shall assume, in a writing or writings satisfying the Prudent Lender Standard,
all of Borrower’s obligations under the Full Defeased Note or the Defeased Note, as the case may
be, the other Loan Documents and the Security Agreement and, upon such assignment, Borrower shall,
except as set forth herein, be relieved of its obligations hereunder. If a Successor Borrower
assumes Borrower’s obligations, Lender may require as a condition to such defeasance, such
additional legal opinions from Borrower’s or Successor Obligor’s counsel as Lender reasonably deems
necessary to confirm the valid creation and authority of the Successor Borrower (including a
non-consolidation opinion), the assignment and assumption of the Loan, the Security Agreement and
the Defeasance Collateral between Borrower and Successor Borrower, and the enforceability of the
assignment documents and of the Loan Documents as the obligation of Successor Borrower. Borrower
shall pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including Lender’s reasonable
attorney’s fees and expenses, incurred in connection with Successor Borrower’s assumption of the
Loan, the Security Agreement and the Defeasance Collateral.

          Nothing in this Section 2.10 shall release Borrower from any liability or obligation
relating to any environmental matters arising under Section 5.1(F).

     Section 2.11. Central Cash Management.

               (a) Collection Account; Manager Account.

               (i) With respect to each Non-Marriott Property, each applicable Borrower or Operating
Lessee shall open and maintain at a Collection Account Bank a trust account (a
“Collection Account”) with respect to such Individual Property.

35

 

Each of the Collection Accounts shall be assigned an identification number by the
related Collection Account Bank and shall be opened and maintained in the name “Merrill
Lynch Mortgage Lending, Inc. as Mortgagee/Pledgee (as applicable) of the applicable Borrower
or Operating Lessee.” None of any Borrower, Operating Lessee or any Manager shall have any
right of withdrawal from any Collection Account. Borrowers shall, on a twice-weekly basis,
cause all Rents and all other items of Gross Revenue to be deposited or transferred directly
into the related Collection Account. Without in any way limiting Borrowers’ obligations
pursuant to the preceding sentence, Borrowers, Operating Lessee and each Manager shall
deposit or cause the transfer directly into the relevant Collection Account all Rents, other
items of Gross Revenue and all Credit Card Receivables received by any Borrower, Operating
Lessee and each Manager within one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof.

               (ii) With respect to each Marriott Property, Borrowers and Operating Lessee shall cause
all Rents and all other items of Gross Revenue to be deposited or transferred directly into
the related Manager Account immediately upon payment of the same. Without in any way
limiting Borrowers’ obligations pursuant to the preceding sentence, Borrowers, Operating
Lessee and each Manager shall deposit or cause the transfer of directly into the relevant
Manager Account all Rents, other items of Gross Revenue and all Credit Card Receivables
received by any Borrower, Operating Lessee and each Manager in violation or contradiction of
the preceding sentence within one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof.

               (iii) Any breach of this Section by any Borrower shall be an Event of Default;
provided, however, that, with respect to any Marriott Property, any breach
of this Section that arises by reason of any act or omission within the exclusive control or
responsibility of a Manager operating under a Management Agreement shall not be an Event of
Default hereunder so long as Borrower is taking prompt, diligent and commercially reasonable
action to require such Manager to remedy such Event of Default.

               (b) Non-Marriott Property Operating Account; Cash Collateral Account.

               (i) Pursuant to each Collection Account Agreement (with respect to each Non-Marriott
Property), Borrowers will authorize and direct each Collection Account Bank to promptly (and
in any event within one Business Day of receipt thereof) transfer all funds deposited in the
Collection Account for such Borrower’s Individual Property to the Non-Marriott Property
Operating Account (other than a minimum balance of cash of $5,000 at all times for payment
of any of the Collection Account Bank’s charges, fees and expenses, as provided in the
Collection Account Agreement). Pursuant to the terms of each Cash Collateral Account
Agreement, at such time as the aggregate amount of funds deposited into the Non-Marriott
Property Operating Account during any Current Interest Accrual Period shall be equal to at
least the Non-Marriott Property Operating Expenses Monthly Installment for such Current
Interest Accrual Period, the Cash Collateral Account Bank shall promptly transfer to the
Cash Collateral Account all funds deposited into the Non-Marriott Property Operating

36

 

Account during such Interest Accrual Period in excess of such Non-Marriott Property
Operating Expenses Monthly Installment. Provided that no Non-Marriott Property Operating
Account Cash Trap Period is continuing, the Non-Marriott Property Operating Account shall be
under the sole dominion and control of Borrower, and Borrower shall have full access thereto
and right of withdrawal therefrom for payment of operating expenses relating to the
Non-Marriott Properties. During the continuance of any Non-Marriott Property Operating
Account Cash Trap Period, no Borrower or Operating Lessee shall have any right of withdrawal
in respect to the Non-Marriott Property Operating Account.

               (ii) Pursuant to each Manager’s Subordination (with respect to each Marriott Property),
Borrowers will authorize and direct each Manager to promptly transfer all funds due and
payable to Borrower (in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement and the
Manager’s Subordination) deposited in the Manager Account for such Borrower’s Individual
Property to a cash collateral account that is an Eligible Account established by Lender in
Lender’s name (the “Cash Collateral Account”). Lender may elect to change the
financial institution at which the Cash Collateral Account shall be maintained. Lender
shall give Borrowers not less than thirty (30) days prior notice of each change. The Cash
Collateral Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender. No Borrower or
Operating Lessee shall have any right of withdrawal in respect to the Cash Collateral
Account.

               (c) Establishment of Sub-Accounts. The Cash Collateral Account shall contain a Debt
Service Payment Sub-Account, a Basic Carrying Costs Sub-Account, a Capital Reserve Sub-Account, a
Cash Management Fee Sub-Account, a Ground Rents Sub-Account, a Hotel Operations Sub-Account, a
Deferred Maintenance Sub-Account, an Upfront Remediation Sub-Account and a Mezzanine Debt Service
Payment Sub-Account (if applicable), each of which accounts (individually, a “Sub-Account”
and collectively, the “Sub-Accounts”) shall be an Eligible Account to which certain funds
shall be allocated and from which disbursements shall be made pursuant to the terms of this Loan
Agreement.

               (d) Monthly Funding of Sub-Accounts. During each Interest Accrual Period and, except
as provided below, during the term of the Loan commencing with the Interest Accrual Period in which
the Closing Date occurs (each, the “Current Interest Accrual Period”), Lender shall
allocate all funds then on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account among the Sub-Accounts as follows
and in the following priority:

               (i) first, to the Ground Rents Sub-Account, until an amount equal to the Ground
Rents Monthly Installment for the Current Interest Accrual Period has been allocated to the
Ground Rents Sub-Account;

               (ii) second, to the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-Account, until an amount equal to

               (viii) eighth, in the event that a permitted Mezzanine Financing under
Section 2.15 has occurred, for the benefit of the Mezzanine Borrower, to the
Mezzanine Debt Service Payment Sub-Account, until an amount equal to the scheduled monthly

               (x) tenth, provided that (a) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
and (b) Lender has received all financial information described in Section 5.1(Q)
for the most recent periods for which the same are due, and (c) no Key West Cash Trap Period

monitoring Borrowers’ use of any funds disbursed from the Cash Collateral Account or any of
the Sub-Accounts. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or if a Key West
Cash Trap Period is continuing, any amounts deposited into or remaining in the Cash
Collateral Account shall be for the account of

39

 

Lender and may be withdrawn by Lender to be applied in any manner at any time to
amounts owing under the Loan Documents as Lender may elect in Lender’s discretion or
maintained in the Cash Collateral Account as security for the Indebtedness.

          If an Event of Default has occurred and exists or if on any Payment Date the balance in any
Sub-Account is insufficient to make the required payment due from such Sub-Account, Lender may, in
its sole discretion, in addition to any other rights and remedies available hereunder, withdraw
funds from any other Sub-Account to (a) pay such deficiency, or (b) apply to payment of the
Indebtedness. If a Non-Marriott Property Operating Account Cash Trap Period has occurred and
exists, Lender may, in its sole discretion, in addition to any other rights and remedies available
hereunder, withdraw funds from the Non-Marriott Property Operating Account to apply to payment of
the Indebtedness. If Lender elects to apply funds of any such Sub-Account or Non-Marriott Property
Operating Account to pay any Required Debt Service Payment, Borrowers shall, upon demand, repay to
Lender the amount of such withdrawn funds to replenish such Sub-Account or Non-Marriott Property
Operating Account , and if Borrowers fail to repay such amounts within five (5) days after notice
of such withdrawal, an Event of Default shall exist hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on
the Closing Date Borrowers shall deposit the Initial Deferred Maintenance Amount into the Deferred
Maintenance Sub-Account, the Initial Basic Carrying Cost Amount into the Basic Carrying Cost
Sub-Account, the Initial Upfront Remediation Amount into the Upfront Remediation Sub-Account and
the Initial Ground Rents Amount into the Ground Rent Reserve Sub-Account.

Collateral Account Bank Fees and Ground Rents].

                    (i) Payment of Basic Carrying Costs.

                    (x) At least five (5) Business Days prior to the due date of any Basic Carrying Cost payment,
and not more frequently than once each Interest Accrual Period, Borrowers shall notify Lender in
writing and request that Lender make such Basic Carrying Cost payment on behalf of the applicable
Borrowers on or prior to the due date thereof. Together with each such request, Borrowers shall
furnish Lender with copies of bills and other documentation as may be reasonably required by Lender
to establish that such Basic Carrying Cost payment is then due. Lender shall be entitled to
conclusively rely on all bills or other documentation received from any Borrower, in each case
without independent investigation or verification. Lender shall make such payments out of the
Basic Carrying Cost Sub-Account before the same shall be delinquent to the extent that there are
funds available in the Basic Carrying Cost Sub-Account and Lender has received appropriate
documentation to establish the amount(s) due and the due date(s) as and when provided above.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each Marriott Property, so long as
(A) Marriott is Manager of such Marriott Property, (B) no default has occurred and is continuing
under the Management Agreement applicable to such Marriott Property beyond any applicable notice
and cure periods set forth therein, (C) Marriott is making all required payments as and when due
pursuant to the Management Agreement and/or the Manager’s Subordination, and (D) with respect to
Impositions, sufficient funds have been deducted from Gross Revenues (as defined under the
applicable Management Agreement) to provide for payment in full of the next due installments of
Impositions in accordance with the terms hereof, as reasonably determined by Lender based

40

 

on Marriott’s periodic reporting obligations under the Management Agreement and/or Manager’s
Subordination or otherwise, this Section 2.11(e)(i)(x) shall only apply to the payment of
Impositions not otherwise reserved for and paid by Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement
and/or the Manager’s Subordination.

                    (y) Except to the extent that Lender is obligated to pay Basic Carrying Costs from the Basic
Carrying Costs Sub-Account pursuant to the terms of this Section, Borrowers shall pay or shall
cause payment of all Basic Carrying Costs with respect to itself and the Individual Properties in
accordance with the provisions of the Mortgages. Borrowers’ obligation to pay or to cause payment
(or to enable Lender to pay) Basic Carrying Costs pursuant to this Agreement shall include, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, Impositions resulting from future changes in law which impose
upon Lender or any Deed of Trust Trustee an obligation to pay any property taxes or other
Impositions or which otherwise adversely affect Lender’s or the Deed of Trust Trustee’s interests.
(In the event such a change in law prohibits any Borrower from assuming liability for payment of
any such Imposition, the outstanding Indebtedness shall, at the option of Lender, become due and
payable on the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days after such change in law; and failure to
pay such amounts on the date due shall be an Event of Default.) If an Event of Default has
occurred, the proceeds on deposit in the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-Account may be applied by Lender
in any manner as Lender in its discretion may determine.

               (ii) Payment of Debt Service. At or before 12:00 noon, New York City time, on
each Payment Date during the term of the Loan, Lender shall transfer to Lender’s own account
from the Debt Service Payment Sub-Account an amount equal to the Required Debt Service
Payment for the applicable Payment Date. Borrowers shall be deemed to have timely made the
Required Debt Service Payment pursuant to Section 2.8 regardless of the time Lender makes
such transfer as long as sufficient funds are on deposit in the Debt Service Payment
Sub-Account at 12:00 noon, New York City time on the applicable Payment Date. At all times
after such Payment Date Lender may, at its option, transfer amounts in the Debt Service
Payment Sub-Account to Lender’s own account, provided that Borrowers shall receive credit
against the Required Debt Service Payment in the amounts so transferred to Lender such that
in any given Current Interest Accrual Period Borrowers shall not be required to deposit into
the Debt Service Payment Sub-Account any amounts in excess of the aggregate amount of the
Required Debt Service Payment for such Current Interest Accrual Period.

               (iii) Payment of Capital Improvement Costs. Not more frequently than once each
Interest Accrual Period, and provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, Borrowers may notify Lender in writing and request that Lender release to a
Borrower or its designee funds from the Capital Reserve Sub-Account, to the extent funds are
available therein, for payment of Capital Improvement Costs. Together with each such
request, Borrowers shall furnish Lender or cause to be furnished to Lender copies of bills
and other documentation as may be reasonably required by Lender to establish that such
Capital Improvement Costs are reasonable (provided such Capital Improvement Costs shall be
deemed reasonable if such Capital Improvement Costs are reflected in the Approved Budget),
that the work relating

41

 

thereto has been completed and that such amounts are then due or have been paid.
Lender shall approve or disapprove such request, within ten (10) Business Days after
Lender’s receipt of such request, provided such request shall be deemed approved if no
response is received from Lender within twenty (20) Business Days after Lender’s receipt of
such request and related documentation, and, if approved or deemed approved, Lender shall
release the funds to each applicable Borrower or such Borrower’s designee within ten (10)
Business Days after Lender’s approval. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
with respect to each Marriott Property, so long as (A) Marriott is Manager of such Marriott
Property, (B) no default has occurred and is continuing under the Management Agreement
applicable to such Marriott Property beyond any applicable notice and cure periods set forth
therein, and (C) Marriott is making all required payments as and when due pursuant to the
Management Agreement and/or the Manager’s Subordination, this Section 2.11(e)(iii)
shall only apply to the payment of Capital Improvement Costs not otherwise paid by Manager
pursuant to the Management Agreement and/or the Manager’s Subordination.

               (iv) Payment of Deferred Maintenance Costs. Not more frequently than once each
Interest Accrual Period, and provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Borrower may notify Lender in writing and request that Lender release to
Borrower funds from the Deferred Maintenance Sub-Account, to the extent funds are available
therein, for payment of Deferred Maintenance Costs. Together with each such request,
Borrower shall furnish Lender with copies of bills and other documentation reasonably
required by Lender to establish that such Deferred Maintenance Costs are reasonable, that
the work relating thereto has been completed and that such amounts are then due or have been
paid. Lender shall approve or disapprove such request within ten (10) Business Days after
Lender’s receipt of such request, provided such request shall be deemed approved if no
response is received from Lender within twenty (20) Business Days after Lender’s receipt of
such request and related documentation, and, if approved or deemed approved, Lender shall
release the funds to each applicable Borrower or such Borrower’s designee within ten (10)
Business Days after Lender’s approval.

               (v) Payment of Cash Collateral Account Bank Fees. Not more frequently than
once each Interest Accrual Period, Lender shall transfer to the Cash Collateral Account Bank
an amount equal to the amount of the monthly fee payable to the Cash Collateral Account Bank
under the Cash Collateral Account Agreement.

               (vi) Payment of Ground Rents. On or before each due date under each Ground
Lease, from the amounts allocated to the Ground Rents Sub-Account, Lender shall pay to the
ground lessor under each Ground Lease the Ground Rents pursuant to written instructions
received from Borrower. Borrower shall provide Lender and the Cash Collateral Account Bank
with written notice of any changes in any Ground Rents sixty (60) days prior to the
effective date of such change. Borrower shall at all times ensure that (i) there are
sufficient funds in the Ground Rents Sub-Account to pay all Ground Rents on time and (ii)
that Lender and Cash Collateral Account Bank have received sufficient instructions and
information (including, without limitation, the address to which payments are to be sent,
the amount of payments and the manner in which

42

 

payments are to be sent) to ensure timely payment of all Ground Rents in strict
compliance with the terms of each Ground Lease. If an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the proceeds on deposit in the Ground Rents Sub-Account may be applied to Lender
in any manner as Lender in its sole discretion may determine.

               (vii) Payment of Upfront Remediation Costs. Not more frequently than once each
Interest Accrual Period, and provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Borrower may notify Lender in writing and request that Lender release to
Borrower funds from the Upfront Remediation Sub-Account, to the extent funds are available
therein, for payment of Upfront Remediation Costs. Together with each such request,
Borrower shall furnish Lender with copies of bills and other documentation reasonably
required by Lender to establish that such Upfront Remediation Costs are reasonable, that the
work relating thereto has been completed and that such amounts are then due or have been
paid. Lender shall approve or disapprove such request within ten (10) Business Days after
Lender’s receipt of such request, provided such request shall be deemed approved if no
response is received from Lender within twenty (20) Business Days after Lender’s receipt of
such request and related documentation, and, if approved or deemed approved, Lender shall
release the funds to each applicable Borrower or such Borrower’s designee within ten (10)
Business Days after Lender’s approval.

               (f) Payment of Operating Expenses.

               (i) Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and provided that
all amounts required to be deposited into the Sub-Accounts set forth in Sections
2.11(d)(i) through (vi) for the Current Interest Accrual Period have been
deposited therein, Lender shall transfer within two Business Days thereafter at Borrowers’
sole cost and expense, to an account designated by the Borrowers, all amounts contained in
the Hotel Operating Sub-Accounts up to an amount equal to the amount set forth in the
Approved Budget for such Interest Accrual Period provided, however, that the
aggregate withdrawals from the Hotel Operating Sub-Account pursuant to this Section
2.11(f)(i) for any Interest Accrual Period shall not exceed the amount set forth in the
Approved Budget for such Interest Accrual Period (except to the extent set forth in
subsection (ii), below).

               (ii) Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if in a given
Interest Accrual Period, Borrowers require amounts in excess of the amounts set forth in the
Approved Budget for such Interest Accrual Period for Operating Expenses (“Extra
Funds”), Borrowers may deliver a written request to Lender to allocate an amount equal
to Extra Funds to the Hotel Operations Sub-Account as set forth in Section
2.11(d)(vii) and for a disbursement of Extra Funds stating (1) the amount of such Extra
Funds and (2) the purpose for which such amount is intended with attachments of copies of
bills and other documentation as may be required by Lender to establish that such Operating
Expenses are reasonable and that such amounts are then due or expected to become due in that
month. Lender shall approve or disapprove such request, within ten (10) Business Days after
Lender’s receipt of such request and related documentation, provided such request shall be
deemed approved if no response is

43

 

received from Lender within ten (10) Business Days after Lender’s receipt of such
request and related documentation, and, if approved or deemed approved, Lender shall release
the funds to each applicable Borrower or such Borrower’s designee within five (5) Business
Days after Lender’s approval.

               (iii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each Marriott
Property, so long as (A) Marriott is Manager of such Marriott Property, (B) no default has
occurred and is continuing under the Management Agreement applicable to such Marriott
Property beyond any applicable notice and cure periods set forth therein, and (C) Marriott
is making all required payments as and when due pursuant to the Management Agreement and/or
the Manager’s Subordination, this Section 2.11(f) shall not apply.

               (g) Payment of Mezzanine Debt Service. In the event that a permitted Mezzanine
Financing under Section 2.15 has occurred, at or before 12:00 noon, New York City time, on
each Payment Date during the term of the Loan, Lender shall transfer to Mezzanine Lender’s account
from the Mezzanine Debt Service Payment Sub-Account an amount equal to the Mezzanine Debt Service
for the applicable payment date.

               (h) Permitted Investments. Upon the written request of Borrowers, which request may
be made once per Interest Accrual Period, Lender shall direct the Cash Collateral Account Bank to
invest and reinvest any balance in the Cash Collateral Account from time to time in Permitted
Investments as instructed by Borrowers; provided, however, that: (i) if Borrowers
fail to so instruct Lender, or if a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and is
continuing, Lender shall direct the Cash Collateral Account Bank to invest and reinvest such
balance in Permitted Investments as Lender shall determine in Lender’s discretion; (ii) the
maturities of the Permitted Investments on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account shall, to the
extent such dates are ascertainable, be selected and coordinated to become due not later than the
day before any disbursements from the Sub-Accounts must be made; (iii) all such Permitted
Investments shall be held in the name and be under the sole dominion and control of Lender; (iv) no
Permitted Investment shall be made unless Lender shall retain a first priority perfected Lien in
such Permitted Investment and all filings and other actions necessary to ensure the validity,
perfection, and priority of such Lien have been taken; (v) Lender shall only be required to follow
the written investment instructions which were most recently received by Lender and Borrowers shall
be bound by such last received investment instructions; and (vi) any request from Borrowers
containing investment instructions shall contain an Officer’s Certificate from Borrowers (which may
be conclusively relied upon by Lender and its agents) that any such investments constitute
Permitted Investments. It is the intention of the parties hereto that all amounts deposited in the
Cash Collateral Account shall at all times be invested in Permitted Investments. All funds in the
Cash Collateral Account that are invested in a Permitted Investment are deemed to be held in such
Cash Collateral Account for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Lender
shall have no liability for any loss in investments of funds in the Cash Collateral Account that
are invested in Permitted Investments (unless invested contrary to Borrowers’ request other than
after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default) and no such loss shall affect Borrowers’
obligation to fund, or liability for funding, the Cash Collateral Account and each Sub-Account, as
the case may be. Borrowers and Lender agree that Borrowers shall include all such earnings and
losses (other than those for

44

 

Lender’s account in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence) on the Cash Collateral
Account as income of the applicable Borrowers for federal and applicable state tax purposes.
Borrowers shall be responsible for any and all fees, costs and expenses with respect to Permitted
Investments.

               (i) Interest on Accounts. All interest paid or other earnings on the Permitted
Investments made hereunder shall be income of the applicable Borrower and applied in the manner and
priority set forth in Section 2.11(d) hereof.

               (j) Termination of Central Cash Management. The obligations of Borrowers under
Section 2.11 and Section 2.12 to maintain and fund or to cause the maintenance and
funding of the Collection Accounts, the Manager Accounts and the Cash Collateral Account shall
terminate in their entirety and be of no further force or effect upon the satisfaction of each of
the following conditions: (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing; (ii) the release of all Mortgages by Lender in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and (iii) Borrowers’ receipt of Lender’s written
acknowledgment that the conditions described in (i) and (ii) above have been satisfied to Lender’s
satisfaction.

     Section 2.12. Security Agreement.

               (a) Pledge of Accounts. To secure the full and punctual payment and performance of
all of the Indebtedness, each Borrower hereby sells, assigns, conveys, pledges and transfers to
Lender and grants to Lender a first priority and continuing Lien on and security interest in and to
its Account Collateral.

               (b) Covenants. Each Borrower covenants that (i) all Rents and all other items of
Gross Revenue shall be deposited or transferred into the relevant Collection Account or Manager
Account, as applicable, in accordance with Section 2.11(a), and (ii) so long as any
portion of the Indebtedness is outstanding, no Borrower shall open (nor permit any Manager or any
Person to open) any other account for the collection of any Rents or any other items of Gross
Revenue, other than (A) a replacement Manager Account pursuant to the terms of the applicable
Management Agreement, or a replacement Collection Account approved by Lender in Lender’s
discretion, and (B) any account held by Borrower in the locality where the applicable Individual
Property is located for the purposes of the collection of any Rents or any other items of Gross
Revenue prior to the time such Rents or items of Gross Revenue are deposited in the Collection
Account or Manager Account, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

               (c) Instructions and Agreements. On or before the Closing Date, each applicable
Borrower and Operating Lessee will submit to the Collection Account Bank for each related
Individual Property a Collection Account Agreement to be executed by the Collection Account Bank.
On or before the Closing Date, Borrowers, Operating Lessee and the Cash Collateral Account Bank
will execute and deliver a Cash Collateral Account Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to
Lender in Lender’s discretion (the “Cash Collateral Account Agreement”) and consistent with
the terms of this Agreement. Each Borrower and Operating Lessee agrees that prior to the payment
in full of the Indebtedness, the Cash Collateral Account

45

 

Agreement shall be irrevocable by any Borrower or Operating Lessee without the prior written
consent of Lender.

               (d) Financing Statements; Further Assurances. Each Borrower hereby authorizes Lender
to file a financing statement or statements in connection with the Account Collateral in the form
required to properly perfect Lender’s security interest in the Account Collateral to the extent
that it may be perfected by such a filing. Each Borrower agrees that at any time and from time to
time, at the expense of Borrowers, such Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver all further
instruments, and take all further action, that Lender may reasonably request, in order to perfect
and protect the pledge, security interest and Lien granted or purported to be granted hereby, or to
enable Lender to exercise and enforce Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder with respect to, the
Account Collateral.

               (e) Transfers and Other Liens. Each Borrower agrees that it will not sell or
otherwise dispose of any of the Account Collateral other than pursuant to the terms hereof and of
the other Loan Documents, or create or permit to exist any Lien upon or with respect to all or any
of the Account Collateral, except for the Liens granted to Lender under this Agreement.

               (f) Lender’s Reasonable Care. Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody
thereof, Lender shall not have any duty as to any Account Collateral or any income thereon in
Lender’s possession or control or in the possession or control of any agents for, or of Lender, or
the preservation of rights against any Person or otherwise with respect thereto. Lender shall be
deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Account Collateral in Lender’s
possession if the Account Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Lender
accords Lender’s own property, it being understood that Lender shall not be liable or responsible
for (i) any loss or damage to any of the Account Collateral, or for any diminution in value thereof
from a loss of, or delay in Lender’s acknowledging receipt of, any wire transfer from the
Collection Account Bank or from any Manager Account or (ii) any loss, damage or diminution in value
by reason of the act or omission of Lender, or Lender’s agents, employees or bailees, except for
any loss, damage or diminution in value resulting from the gross negligence, fraud or willful
misconduct of Lender, its agents or employees.

               (g) Lender Appointed Attorney-In-Fact. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes
and appoints Lender as such Borrower’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of
substitution, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to
execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments and to exercise and enforce every right, power,
remedy, option and privilege of such Borrower with respect to the Account Collateral, and do in the
name, place and stead of such Borrower, all such acts, things and deeds for and on behalf of and in
the name of such Borrower with respect to the Account Collateral, which such Borrower could or
might do or which Lender may deem necessary or desirable to more fully vest in Lender the rights
and remedies provided for herein with respect to the Account Collateral and to accomplish the
purposes of this Agreement. The foregoing powers of attorney are irrevocable and coupled with an
interest.

               (h) Continuing Security Interest; Termination. This Section shall create a
continuing pledge of, Lien on and security interest in the Account Collateral and shall remain in
full force and effect until payment in full of the Indebtedness. Upon payment in full of

46

 

the Indebtedness, each applicable Borrower shall be entitled to the return, upon such
Borrower’s written request and at Borrowers’ expense, of such of the Account Collateral as shall
not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and Lender shall execute such
instruments and documents as may be reasonably requested by such Borrower in writing to evidence
such termination and the release of the pledge and Lien hereof, provided, however,
that such Borrower shall pay on demand all of Lender’s expenses in connection therewith.

     Section 2.13. Secondary Market Transactions.

               (a) Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that Lender may in one or more transactions (i) sell or
securitize the Loan or portions thereof in one or more transactions through the issuance of
securities, which securities may be rated by one or more of the Rating Agencies, (ii) sell or
otherwise transfer the Loan or any portion thereof one or more times, (iii) sell participation
interests (including without limitation, senior and subordinate participation interests) in the
Loan one or more times, (iv) re-securitize the securities issued in connection with any
securitization, or (v) further divide the Loan into more separate notes, loans or components or
change the principal balances (but not increase the aggregate principal balance) or interest rates
of the Notes (including, without limitation, senior and subordinate notes or components) (the
transactions referred to in clauses (i) through (v), each a “Secondary Market Transaction”
and collectively “Secondary Market Transactions”).

               (b) With respect to any Secondary Market Transaction described in Section 2.13(a)(v)
above, such notes or note components may be assigned different interest rates, so long as, at such
time the weighted average of the relevant interest rates equals the Interest Rate;
provided, that after an Event of Default each Borrower recognizes that, in the case of
prepayments, the weighted average interest rate of the Loan may increase because Lender shall have
the right to apply principal payments to one or more notes or components with lower rates of
interest before applying principal payments to one or more notes or components with higher rates of
interest; and provided, further, that the principal balance of the Note shall not
change. Lender shall have the same rights to sell or otherwise transfer, participate or securitize
one or more of the divided, amended, modified or otherwise changed notes or components,
individually or collectively, as Lender has with respect to the Loan.

               (c) Each Borrower agrees that it shall cooperate with Lender and use such Borrower’s
commercially reasonably efforts to facilitate the consummation of each Secondary Market Transaction
including, without limitation, by: (i) amending or causing the amendment of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, and executing such additional documents, instruments and agreements including
amendments to such Borrower’s organizational documents and preparing financial statements as
requested by the Rating Agencies to conform the terms of the Loan to the terms of similar loans
underlying completed or pending secondary market transactions having or seeking ratings similar to
those then being sought in connection with the relevant Secondary Market Transaction; (ii) promptly
and reasonably providing such information (including, without limitation, financial information) as
may be requested in connection with the preparation of a private placement memorandum, prospectus
or a registration statement required to privately place or publicly distribute the securities in a
manner which does not conflict with federal or state securities laws; (iii) providing in connection
with each of (A) a preliminary and a final private placement memorandum or other offering

47

 

documents or (B) a preliminary and final prospectus, as applicable, an indemnification
certificate (x) certifying that such Borrower has carefully examined such private placement
memorandum, prospectus, registration statement or other offering document, as applicable,
including, without limitation, the sections entitled “Special Considerations,” “Description of the
Mortgage Loan,” “The Underlying Mortgaged Property,” “The Manager,” “Borrower” and “Certain Legal
Aspects of the Mortgage Loan,” and such sections (and any other sections requested) insofar as they
relate to a Borrower, its Affiliates, the Loan or any Individual Property does not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
provided, however, that such Borrower shall not be required to indemnify Lender for any losses
relating to untrue statements or omissions which such Borrower identified to Lender in writing at
the time of such Borrower’s examination of such memorandum or prospectus, as applicable, and (y)
indemnifying (i) Lender and each of its affiliates and their respective successors and assigns
(including their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, attorneys, accountants,
professionals and agents and each other person, if any, controlling Lender or any of its affiliates
within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”) (each, including Lender, an “Indemnified Party”) and the (ii) party
that has filed the registration statement relating to the Secondary Market Transaction (the
“Registration Statement”), each of its directors and officers who have signed the
Registration Statement and each Person that controls such Party within the meaning of Section 15 of
the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collective, the “Underwriter Group”),
for any losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses or liabilities (including, without limitation, all
liabilities under all applicable federal and state securities laws) (collectively, the
“Liabilities”) to which any of them may become subject (a) insofar as the Liabilities arise
out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
relating to any Borrower, its Affiliates, the Loan, any Individual Property, any Manager and the
Operating Lessee contained in such sections or arise out of or are based upon the omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such sections or
necessary in order to make the statements in such sections, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading or (b) as a result of any untrue statement of material fact in
any of the financial statements of any Borrower incorporated into any placement memorandum,
prospectus, registration statement or other document connected with the issuance of securities or
the failure to include in such financial statements or in any placement memorandum, prospectus,
registration statement or other document connected with the issuance of securities any material
fact relating to any Borrower, its Affiliates, any Individual Property, the Loan, any Manager and
the Operating Lessee necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (z) agreeing to reimburse the
Indemnified Party and the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
the Indemnified Party and the Underwriter Group in connection with investigating or defending the
Liabilities; (iv) causing to be rendered such customary opinion letters as shall be requested by
the Rating Agencies for other secondary market or transactions having or seeking ratings comparable
to that then being sought for the relevant Secondary Market Transaction; (v) making such
representations, warranties and covenants, as may be reasonably requested by the Rating Agencies
and comparable to those required in other secondary market transactions having or seeking the same
rating as is then being sought for the Secondary Market Transaction; (vi)

48

 

providing such information regarding the Collateral as may be reasonably requested by the
Rating Agencies or otherwise required in connection with the formation of a REMIC; and (vii)
providing any other information and materials required in the Secondary Market Transaction.

               (d) Each Borrower agrees to participate and cooperate in any meetings with the Rating Agencies
or Investors, and providing any other information and materials reasonably required in the
Secondary Market Transaction to make the certificates offered in such Secondary Market Transaction
saleable in the secondary market and to obtain ratings from two or more rating agencies.

               (e) Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Lender may, at any time on or after the
Closing Date, assign its duties, rights or obligations hereunder or under any Loan Document in
whole, or in part, to a servicer and/or a trustee in Lender’s discretion. Nothing herein shall in
any way limit Lender’s right to sell all or a portion of the Loan in a transaction which is not a
Secondary Market Transaction.

               (f) Liability for costs and expenses relating to any transaction described in this Section
2.13 shall be governed by Section 12 of the Cooperation Agreement.

               (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document,
Lender reserves the right to increase, decrease, or otherwise re-allocate the outstanding principal
balance of the Note, and each Borrower and Operating Lessee covenants and agrees to execute
amendments to the Note, this Agreement, and the other Loan Documents and the Borrowers’ or
Operating Lessee’s organizational documents reasonably requested by Lender in connection with any
such re-allocation, provided that such modification shall not (a) increase the aggregate
outstanding principal balance of the Note, (b) change the stated maturity date of the Loan as set
forth herein, or (c) modify or amend any other economic or other term of the Loan.

     Section 2.14. Property Substitutions. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
in this Section 2.14, Borrower may, from time to time, replace an Individual Property with
a Qualified Substitute Property (a “Property Substitution”), provided, in the case of each
Property Substitution, the following conditions are met:

               (a) The aggregate of (i) the Allocated Loan Amount with respect to the Individual Property to
be replaced, plus (ii) the Allocated Loan Amounts with respect to all Individual Properties
previously or simultaneously replaced by Property Substitutions, shall be less than 50% of the
then-current principal balance of the Loan;

               (b) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such date either before or
after the Property Substitution;

               (c) Borrower shall have given Lender at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any
Property Substitution, identifying the proposed Individual Property to be replaced, the proposed
Qualified Substitute Property, and the proposed date of the Property Substitution (which date may
be extended by up to thirty (30) days, provided that Borrower gives Lender reasonable prior written
notice of Borrower’s requirement to extend the date for such Property Substitution). If such
Property Substitution does not occur on such date (as may have

49

 

been extended), (i) such Borrower’s notice will be deemed rescinded, and (ii) Borrower shall

Authority, any organizational document of any Borrower or Operating Lessee or any indenture or
agreement or other instrument to which any Borrower or Operating Lessee is a party or by which
Borrower or Operating Lessee is bound except, with respect to violations of any such indentures,
agreements or other instruments, where such violation would not have a Material Adverse Effect,
(iii) will not be in conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute (with due notice or lapse
of time or both) a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien of any nature
whatsoever upon any of the property or assets of any Borrower or Operating Lessee pursuant to, any
indenture or agreement or instrument, and (iv) have been duly executed and delivered by each
Borrower or Operating Lessee, as applicable. Except for those obtained or filed on or prior to the
Closing Date, no Borrower or Operating Lessee is required to obtain any consent, approval or
authorization from, or to file any declaration or statement with, any Governmental Authority or
other agency in connection with or as a condition to the execution, delivery or performance of the
Loan Documents. The Loan Documents to which any Borrower, Operating Lessee or any Manager is a
party have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such parties.

                    (C) Single-Purpose Entity.

                         (i) Each Borrower, each SPE Equity Owner and Operating Lessee has been, and will
continue to be, a duly formed and existing Entity, and a Single-Purpose Entity.

                         (ii) Each SPE Equity Owner at all times since its formation has been, and will continue
to be, a duly formed and existing limited liability company or a limited partnership in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its

60

 

formation and a Single-Purpose Entity, is duly qualified as a foreign entity in each
other jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or any of the Collateral makes such
qualification necessary or desirable, and no Borrower will take action to cause any SPE
Equity Owner not to be a duly formed and existing limited liability company in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation and a Single-Purpose Entity.

                         (iii) Each Borrower and Operating Lessee at all times since its formation has complied,
and will, at all times while the Loan is outstanding, continue to comply, with the
provisions of all of its organizational documents, and the laws of the state in which such
Borrower and Operating Lessee was formed relating to the Entity.

                    (D) Litigation. Except as disclosed on Schedule 1 attached hereto, there are
no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or
other agency now pending and served or, to the knowledge of any Borrower and Operating Lessee,
threatened against any Borrower, Operating Lessee, any SPE Equity Owner, any Manager or any
Individual Property which, if determined against the Borrowers, Operating Lessee, SPE Equity Owner,
Manager or Individual Property could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                    (E) Agreements. No Borrower or Operating Lessee is a party to any agreement or
instrument or subject to any restriction which is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each
applicable Borrower and Operating Lessee is not in default in any material respect in the
performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained
in any indenture, agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which such Borrower,
Operating Lessee or the applicable Individual Property is bound which could reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                    (F) No Bankruptcy Filing. No Borrower or Operating Lessee is contemplating either the
filing of a petition under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of
all or a major portion of any Borrower’s assets or property, and no Borrower or Operating Lessee
has any knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against any Borrower
or Operating Lessee.

                    (G) Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by Borrower or Operating
Lessee in the Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any
material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no
fact presently known to any Borrower or Operating Lessee which has not been disclosed to Lender
which materially adversely affects, nor as far as any Borrower or Operating Lessee can foresee,
might materially adversely affect the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of
any Borrower or Operating Lessee.

                    (H) Management Agreements. Each Management Agreement is valid, binding and
enforceable and in full force and effect and has not been modified (other than by written
instrument provided to Lender or except as otherwise disclosed to Lender in writing) and there are
no material defaults under any of them, nor (a) to Borrowers’ or Operating Lessee’s knowledge has
any event occurred that with the passage of time, the giving of notice or

61

 

both would result in such a material default under the terms of each Management Agreement with
any Manager other than Remington Manager, and (b) with respect to any Management Agreement with
Remington Manager, has any event occurred that with the passage of time, the giving of notice or
both would result in such a material default under the terms of such Management Agreement

                    (I) Compliance. Except as expressly disclosed in the Engineering Reports, the
Environmental Reports, the PZR zoning reports or the Surveys delivered to Lender by Borrower, each
applicable Borrower, Operating Lessee, each Individual Property and each applicable Borrower’s or
Operating Lessee’s use thereof as a hotel and operations thereat comply in all material respects
with all applicable Legal Requirements and all Insurance Requirements. No Borrower is in default
or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority, the
violation of which is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrowers further
represent and covenant that parking at the Individual Property know as Courtyard Overland Park, KS
is sufficient to satisfy all applicable Legal Requirements, or that the applicable Borrower has the
capability to and will restripe the parking areas at such Individual Property in conformance with
all applicable Legal Requirements if requested or required by any Governmental Authority to comply
with such Legal Requirements.

                    (J) Other Debt and Obligations. No Borrower or Operating Lessee has any financial
obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or
instrument to which any Borrower or Operating Lessee is a party, or by which Borrower, Operating
Lessee or any Individual Property is bound, other than (a) unsecured trade payables incurred in the
ordinary course of business relating to the ownership and operation of an Individual Property which
are not evidenced by a promissory note and when aggregated with the unsecured trade payables of all
other Borrowers and Operating Lessee, do not exceed a maximum amount of two and one-half percent
(2.5%) of the Loan Amount and are paid within sixty (60) days of the date incurred (unless same are
being contested in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), and (b) obligations under the
Mortgage and the other Loan Documents. No Borrower or Operating Lessee has borrowed or received
other debt financing that has not been heretofore repaid in full and no Borrower has any known
material contingent liabilities.

                    (K) ERISA. (a) Each Plan and, to the knowledge of any Borrower or Operating Lessee,
each Multiemployer Plan, is in compliance in all material respects with, and has been administered
in all material respects in compliance with, its terms and the applicable provisions of ERISA, the
Code and any other federal or state law, and no event or condition has occurred as to which any
Borrower or Operating Lessee would be under an obligation to furnish a report to Lender under
Section 5.1(S).

                         (b) As of the date hereof and throughout the term of the Loan (a) no Borrower or Operating
Lessee is or will be an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to
Title I of ERISA, or a “plan,” as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, subject to Code
Section 4975, (b) no Borrower or Operating Lessee is or will be a “governmental plan” within the
meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, (c) none of the assets of any Borrower or Operating Lessee
constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more of any such plans under 29 C.F.R.
Section 2510.3-101 or otherwise, and (d) transactions by or with

62

 

each Borrower or Operating Lessee do not and will not violate state statutes regulating investment
of, and fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans and such state statutes do not in
any manner affect the ability of the Borrower or Operating Lessee to perform its obligations under
the Loan Documents or the ability of Lender to enforce any and all of its rights under the Loan
Agreement.

                    (L) Solvency. No Borrower or Operating Lessee has entered into this Loan Agreement or
any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor, and each
Borrower and Operating Lessee has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its
obligations under the Loan Documents. Giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby and
the agreements set forth herein, the fair saleable value of each of Borrower’s and Operating
Lessee’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, exceed such Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s, as applicable, total liabilities,
including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, or disputed liabilities or Contingent
Obligations. The fair saleable value of each Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s assets is and will,
immediately following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, be greater than such Borrower’s
or Operating Lessee’s, as applicable, probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its
Contingent Obligations or its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. No Borrower’s or
Operating Lessee’s assets do and, immediately following the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, will, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as
proposed to be conducted. No Borrower or Operating Lessee intends to, or believes that it will,
incur debts and liabilities (including, without limitation, Contingent Obligations 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 obligations of each Borrower).

                    (M) Not Foreign Person. No Borrower or Operating Lessee is a “foreign person” within
the meaning of § 1445(f)(3) of the Code.

                    (N) Investment Company Act; Public Utility Holding Company Act. No Borrower or
Operating Lessee is (i) an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment
company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (ii) a “holding
company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company” or an “affiliate” of either a “holding
company” or a “subsidiary company” within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of
1935, as amended, or (iii) subject to any other federal or state law or regulation which purports
to restrict or regulate its ability to borrow money.

                    (O) No Defaults. No Event of Default or, to Borrower’s knowledge, Default exists
under or with respect to any Loan Document.

                    (P) Labor Matters. No Borrower or Operating Lessee is a party to any collective
bargaining agreements.

                    (Q) Title to the Property. Each Borrower owns either good, indefeasible and
marketable fee simple or leasehold title to the applicable Individual Properties which it owns,
free and clear of all Liens, other than the Permitted Encumbrances applicable to

63

 

such Individual Property. There are no outstanding options to purchase or rights of first
refusal affecting any Individual Property. The Permitted Encumbrances do not and are not likely to
materially and adversely affect (i) the ability of any Borrower to pay in full all sums due under
the Notes or any of its other obligations in a timely manner or (ii) the use of any Individual
Property for the use currently being made thereof, the operation of such Individual Property as
currently being operated or the value of any Individual Property.

                    (R) Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. Each Borrower will use the proceeds of the
Loan for the purposes described in Section 2.2. No part of the proceeds of the Loan will
be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of
Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose which
would be inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other Regulations of such Board of Governors,
or for any purposes prohibited by applicable Legal Requirements.

                    (S) Financial Information. All historical financial data concerning any Borrower,
Operating Lessee or any Individual Property (including without limitation all rent rolls and
operating statements) that has been delivered by any Borrower or Operating Lessee to Lender is
true, complete and correct in all material respects. Since the delivery of such data, except as
otherwise disclosed in writing to Lender, there has been no material adverse change in the
financial position of any Borrower, Operating Lessee or Individual Property, or in the results of
operations of any Borrower or Operating Lessee. No Borrower or Operating Lessee has incurred any
obligation or liability, contingent or otherwise, not reflected in such financial data which might
materially adversely affect its business operations or any Individual Property.

                    (T) Condemnation. No Taking has been commenced or, to any Borrower’s or Operating
Lessee’s knowledge, is contemplated with respect to all or any portion of any Individual Property
or for the relocation of roadways providing access to any Individual Property.

                    (U) Utilities and Public Access. Except as otherwise disclosed on the Surveys, each
Individual Property has adequate rights of access to public ways and is served by adequate water,
sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities as are adequate for full utilization of such
Individual Property for its current purpose. Except as otherwise disclosed by the Surveys, all
public utilities necessary to the continued use and enjoyment of each Individual Property as
presently used and enjoyed are located in the public right-of-way abutting the premises, and all
such utilities are connected so as to serve each Individual Property either (i) without passing
over other property or, (ii) if such utilities pass over other property, pursuant to valid
easements. All roads necessary for the full utilization of each Individual Property for its
current purpose have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental
Authorities or are the subject of access easements for the benefit of such Individual Property.

                    (V) Environmental Compliance. Except as disclosed in the Environmental Reports, each
of Borrower and Operating Lessee represents, warrants and covenants, as to itself and its
applicable Individual Property: (a) there are no Hazardous Substances or underground storage tanks
in, on, or under such Individual Property, except those

64

 

that are both (i) in compliance with all Environmental Laws and with permits issued pursuant
thereto and (ii) which do not require Remediation; (b) there are no past, present or threatened
Releases of Hazardous Substances in, on, under, from or affecting any Individual Property which
have not been fully Remediated in accordance with Environmental Law; (c) there is no Release or
threat of any Release of Hazardous Substances which has or is migrating to any Individual Property;
(d) there is no past or present non-compliance with Environmental Laws, or with permits issued
pursuant thereto, in connection with any Individual Property which has not been fully Remediated in
accordance with Environmental Law; (e) such Borrower and Operating Lessee does not know of, and
has not received, any written or oral notice or other communication from any Person (including but
not limited to a governmental entity) relating to Hazardous Substances or the Remediation thereof,
of possible liability of any Person pursuant to any Environmental Law, other environmental
conditions in connection with any Individual Property, or any actual or potential administrative or
judicial proceedings in connection with any of the foregoing; and (f) such Borrower or Operating
Lessee has truthfully and fully provided to Lender, in writing, any and all information relating to
conditions in, on, under or from each Individual Property that is known to such Borrower or
Operating Lessee and that is contained in files and records of such Borrower or Operating Lessee,
including but not limited to any reports relating to Hazardous Substances in, on, under or from
such Individual Property and/or to the environmental condition of each Individual Property.

                    (W) No Joint Assessment; Separate Lots. No Borrower or Operating Lessee has or shall
suffer, permit or initiate the joint assessment of any applicable Individual Property (i) with any
other real property constituting a separate tax lot, and (ii) with any portion of any Individual
Property which may be deemed to constitute personal property, or any other procedure whereby the
lien of any taxes which may be levied against such personal property shall be assessed or levied or
charged to any Individual Property as a single lien. Each Individual Property is comprised of one
or more parcels, each of which constitutes a separate tax lot and none of which constitutes a
portion of any other tax lot.

                    (X) Assessments. Except as disclosed in the Title Insurance Policy and any title
exception documents referenced therein, there are no pending or, to the knowledge of any Borrower
or Operating Lessee, proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise
affecting any Individual Property, nor, to the knowledge of any Borrower or Operating Lessee, are
there any contemplated improvements to any Individual Property that may result in such special or
other assessments.

                    (Y) Mortgage and Other Liens. The Mortgages create valid and enforceable first
mortgage Liens on each Individual Property as security for the repayment of the Indebtedness,
subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances applicable to such Individual Property. Each security
agreement, assignment, pledge, grant or other hypothecation which is contained in any Loan Document
establishes and creates a valid and enforceable lien on and a security interest in, or claim to,
the rights and property described therein. All property covered by each such security agreement,
assignment, pledge, grant or other hypothecation is subject to a UCC financing statement filed
and/or recorded, as appropriate, in all places necessary to perfect a valid first priority lien
with respect to the rights and property that are the subject of such security agreement,
assignment, pledge, grant or other hypothecation to the extent governed by the UCC

65

 

to the extent such a security interest in such property is perfectible by the filing of a UCC
financing statement.

                    (Z) Enforceability. The Loan Documents executed by each applicable Borrower or
Operating Lessee in connection with the Loan are the legal, valid and binding obligations of each
such Borrower or Operating Lessee, enforceable against each such Borrower or Operating Lessee in
accordance with their terms, subject only to bankruptcy, insolvency and other limitations on
creditors’ rights generally and to equitable principles. Such Loan Documents are, as of the
Closing Date, not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by any
Borrower or Operating Lessee, including the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the
terms of the Notes, any Mortgage, or such other Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right
thereunder, render any Mortgage unenforceable against any Borrower or Operating Lessee, in whole or
in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by any Borrower or
Operating Lessee, including the defense of usury, and no Borrower or Operating Lessee has asserted
any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.

                    (AA) No Liabilities. No Borrower or Operating Lessee has any liabilities or
obligations including, without limitation, Contingent Obligations (and including, without
limitation, liabilities or obligations in tort, in contract, at law, in equity, pursuant to a
statute or regulation, or otherwise) other than those liabilities and obligations expressly
permitted by this Agreement.

                    (BB) No Prior Assignment. As of the Closing Date, (i) Lender is the assignee of each
Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s interest under the Leases, and (ii) there are no prior assignments
of the Leases or any portion of the Rents due and payable or to become due and payable which are
presently outstanding.

                    (CC) Certificate of Occupancy. Borrowers and Operating Lessee have provided to Lender
copies of all Permits for each Individual Property necessary to use and operate the Individual
Property for the use described in Section 3.1(R) where such Permits are available, or
otherwise confirmation of issuance of such Permits either in the PZR Report or from the applicable
zoning authority, and where such Permits require re-issuance in the event of a transfer of title to
an Individual Property, the applicable Borrower is diligently pursuing a Permit in the name of the
applicable Borrower. The use being made of each Individual Property is in conformity with the
certificate of occupancy and/or Permits for each such Individual Property and any other
restrictions, covenants or conditions affecting each such Individual Property to the extent that
any existing nonconformity would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Each such Individual Property
contains all equipment necessary to use and operate each such Individual Property in a first-class
manner.

                    (DD) Flood Zone. Except as shown on a Survey, no Individual Property is located in a
flood hazard area as designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

                    (EE) Physical Condition. Except as disclosed in an Engineering Report, each
Individual Property is free of material structural defects and all building systems

66

 

contained therein are in good working order in all material respects subject to ordinary wear
and tear.

                    (FF) Intellectual Property. All trademarks, trade names and service marks owned by
any Borrower or Operating Lessee or that are pending, or under which any Borrower or Operating
Lessee is licensed, are in good standing and uncontested. There is no right under any trademark,
trade name or service mark necessary to the business of any Borrower or Operating Lessee as
presently conducted or as Borrower or Operating Lessee contemplates conducting its business. No
Borrower or Operating Lessee has infringed, is infringing, or has received notice of infringement
with respect to asserted trademarks, trade names and service marks of others. To Borrower’s or
Operating Lessee’s knowledge, there is no infringement by others of trademarks, trade names and
service marks of any Borrower or Operating Lessee.

                    (GG) Intentionally Omitted.

                    (HH) Title Insurance. Each Individual Property is covered by either an American Land
Title Association (ALTA) mortgagee’s title insurance policy, or a commitment to issue such a title
insurance policy, insuring a valid first lien on such Individual Property, which is in full force
and effect and is freely assignable to and will inure to the benefit of Lender and any successor or
assignee of Lender, including but not limited to the trustee in a Securitization, subject only to
the Permitted Encumbrances.

                    (II) Tax Fair Market Value. The Allocated Loan Amount with respect to each Individual
Property does not exceed the Tax Fair Market Value of such Individual Property. The Loan Amount
does not exceed the aggregate Tax Fair Market Values of the Individual Properties. If any Note is
significantly modified prior to the closing date of a Secondary Market Transaction so as to result
in a taxable exchange under Code Section 1001, Borrowers will, if requested by Lender, represent
that the amount of such Note does not exceed the aggregate Tax Fair Market Value of the applicable
Individual Property as of the date of such significant modification.

                    (JJ) Leases. (a) Each Borrower or Operating Lessee is the sole owner of the entire
lessor’s interest in the Leases; (b) the Leases are the valid, binding and enforceable obligations
of the applicable Borrowers or Operating Lessee and the applicable tenant or lessee thereunder; (c)
the terms of all alterations, modifications and amendments to the Leases are reflected in the
certified rent roll statement delivered to and approved by Lender; (d) no Rents reserved in any
Leases have been assigned or otherwise pledged or hypothecated; (e) no Rents have been collected
for more than one (1) month in advance; (f) the premises demised under the Leases have been
completed and the tenants under the Leases have accepted the same and have taken possession of the
same on a rent-paying basis; (g) there exists no offset or defense to the payment of any portion of
any Rents; (h) no Lease contains an option to purchase, right of first refusal to purchase,
expansion right, or any other similar provision; and (i) no Person has any possessory interest in,
or right to occupy, any Individual Property except under and pursuant to a Lease.

                    (KK) Bank Holding Company. No Borrower or Operating Lessee is a “bank holding
company” or a direct or indirect subsidiary of a “bank holding

67

 

company” as defined in the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and Regulation Y
thereunder of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

                    (LL) Embargoed Person. None of the funds or other assets of any Borrower, Operating
Lessee, or any SPE Equity Owner constitute property of, or are beneficially owned, directly or
indirectly, by any person, entity or government subject to trade restrictions under federal law,
including, without limitation, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. §§ 1701
et seq., The Trading with the Enemy Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 1 et seq. , and any
executive orders or regulations promulgated thereunder, with the result that (i) the investment in
any Borrower, Operating Lessee, any SPE Equity Owner, as applicable (whether directly or
indirectly), is prohibited by law, or (ii) the Loan made by the Lender is in violation of law
(“Embargoed Person”); (b) no Embargoed Person has any interest of any nature whatsoever in
any Borrower, Operating Lessee, any SPE Equity Owner, as applicable (whether directly or
indirectly), with the result that (i) the investment in any Borrower, Operating Lessee, any SPE
Equity Owner, as applicable (whether directly or indirectly) is prohibited by law, or (ii) the Loan
is in violation of law; and (c) none of the funds of any Borrower, Operating Lease, any SPE Equity
Owner, as applicable, have been derived from any unlawful activity with the result that (i) the
investment in any Borrower, Operating Lessee, any SPE Equity Owner, as applicable (whether directly
or indirectly) is prohibited by law, or (ii) the Loan is in violation of law.

                    (MM) Illegal Activity. No portion of any of each Individual Property has been or will
be purchased, improved, equipped or furnished with proceeds of any illegal activity.

                    (NN) Compliance. No Borrower or Operating Lessee, and to the best of each Borrower’s
and Operating Lessee’s knowledge after due and diligent inquiry, neither (a) any Person owning an
interest in a Borrower, Operating Lessee or any SPE Equity Owner, (b) each Manager, and (c) any
tenant at each Individual Property: (i) is currently identified on the OFAC List (“OFAC
List”), and (ii) is not a Person with whom a citizen of the United States is prohibited to
engage in transactions by any trade embargo, economic sanction, or other prohibition of any Legal
Requirement (including the September 24, 2001, Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting
Transactions With Person Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), and (iii) is not in
violation of the U.S. Federal Bank Secrecy Act, as amended, and its implementing regulations (31

Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, Public Law 107-56 and the regulations promulgated
thereunder, any order issued with respect to anti-money laundering by the U.S. Department of the
Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, or any other anti-money laundering law. Each Borrower
and Operating Lessee has implemented procedures, and will consistently apply those procedures
throughout the term of the Loan, to ensure the foregoing representations and warranties remain true
and correct during the term of the Loan.

                    (OO) Operating Budget. Attached hereto as Exhibit E is a true, complete and
correct copy of the operating budget for each Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s Individual Property
for the period between the Closing Date and December 31, 2005, which Operating Budget has been
approved by Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

68

 

                    (PP) Organizational Chart. Attached hereto as Exhibit G is a true, complete
and correct copy of the Borrowers’ organizational chart.

                    (QQ) Property Improvement Plans. Attached hereto as Exhibit H is (i) a true,

Individual Property (each, a “Property Improvement Plan”), and (ii) a true, complete and
correct description of the estimated amounts to be expended and time frames for required
expenditure and completion pursuant to each Property Improvement Plan.

                    (RR) Franchise Agreements. Each Franchise Agreement is in full force and effect,
there is no material default thereunder by any party thereto and to the best of Borrower’s and
Operating Lessee’s knowledge and except as set forth on Schedule 2 hereof, no event has
occurred that, with the passage of time and/or the giving of notice would constitute a default
thereunder, and no fees under any Franchise Agreement are accrued and unpaid.

     Section 4.2. Survival of Representations and Warranties.

          Each Borrower and Operating Lessee agrees that (i) all of the representations and warranties
of each Borrower set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents delivered on the
Closing Date are made as of the Closing Date (except as expressly otherwise provided) and (ii) all
representations and warranties made by each Borrower shall survive the delivery of the Note and
continue for so long as any amount remains owing to Lender under this Agreement, the Note or any of
the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that the representations,
warranties and covenants set forth in Section 4.1(V), Section
4.1(LL), Section 4.1(NN) and Sections 5.1(D) through
5.1(G), inclusive, shall survive in perpetuity and shall not be subject to the exculpation
provisions of Section 8.14. All representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements made in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been
relied upon by Lender notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by Lender or

its expense may, after prior notice to the Lender, contest by appropriate legal, administrative or
other proceedings conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the validity or application, in
whole or in part, of any such applicable Legal Requirements as long as (i) neither the applicable
Collateral nor any part thereof or any interest therein, will be sold, forfeited or lost or subject
to a continuing Lien if such Borrower or Operating Lessee pays the amount or satisfies the
condition being contested, and such Borrower or Operating Lessee would have the opportunity to do
so, in the event of such Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s failure to prevail in the contest, (ii)
Lender would not, by virtue of such permitted contest, be exposed to any risk of any civil
liability or criminal liability, and (iii) such Borrower or Operating Lessee shall have furnished
to the Lender additional security in respect of the claim being contested or the loss or damage

in, the Mortgages.

Parties reasonably believe that an environmental condition exists on any Individual Property that,
in the discretion of the Lender, could endanger any tenants or other occupants of any Individual
Property or their guests or the general public or materially and adversely affects the value of any

obligation, to enter upon such Individual Property at all reasonable times (without materially
interfering with the business conducted at the Individual Property) to assess any and all aspects

to conducting any environmental assessment or audit (the scope of which shall be determined in the
reasonable discretion of Lender) and taking samples of soil, groundwater or other water, air, or

actually acquired title to the applicable Individual Property, and (2) that such Losses were not
caused or occasioned by the actions or inactions of any Borrower, any Manager, Operating Lessee or

AND AGREED BY EACH BORROWER THAT THE INDEMNITY (AND/OR THE RELEASE) CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION
5.1(F) PROTECTS LENDER FROM THE CONSEQUENCES OF LENDER’S ACTS OR OMISSIONS, INCLUDING WITHOUT
LIMITATION, THE NEGLIGENT ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF LENDER TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, THAT NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED TO RELIEVE THE LENDER FROM LIABILITY DUE TO
ITS FRAUD, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE.

                         (i) Each Borrower shall (a) promptly perform and observe all of the covenants required

notice or information that Borrower receives which indicates that an Operating Lessee is
terminating its Operating Lease or that any Operating Lessee is otherwise discontinuing its
operation of the applicable Individual Property; and (e) promptly enforce the performance
and observance of all of the material covenants required to be performed and observed by the
Operating Lessee under the applicable Operating Lease.

                         (ii) If at any time, (A) an Operating Lessee shall become insolvent or a debtor in a
bankruptcy proceeding or (B) Lender or its designee has taken title to an Individual
Property by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, has become a

Property or has otherwise taken title to such Individual Property, Lender shall have the
absolute right to (and Borrower and Operating Lessee shall reasonably cooperate and not in
any way hinder, delay or otherwise interfere with Lender’s right to), immediately terminate
the applicable Operating Lease under and in accordance with the terms of the applicable
Subordination, Attornment and Security Agreement.

                         (iii) Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld: (a) surrender, terminate or cancel any Operating Lease
or otherwise replace any Operating Lessee or enter into any other operating lease with
respect to any Individual Property, provided, however, at the end of the term of each
Operating Lease, the applicable Borrower may renew such Operating Lease or enter into a
replacement Operating Lease with Operating Lessee on substantially the same terms as the
expiring Operating Lease except that Lender shall have the right to approve any material
change thereto; (b) reduce or consent to the reduction of the term of any Operating Lease;
or (c) enter into, renew, amend, modify, waive any provisions of, reduce Rents under, or
shorten the term of any Operating Lease.

                    (I) Management Agreements.

                         (i) Each Individual Property shall be operated under the terms and conditions of the
applicable Management Agreement. Each Borrower shall or shall cause the applicable
Operating Lessee to (x) pay all sums required to be paid by

74

 

the owner under each Management Agreement, (y) diligently perform, observe and enforce
all of the terms, covenants and conditions of each Management Agreement on the part of the
owner thereunder to be performed, observed and enforced to the end that all things shall be
done which are necessary to keep unimpaired the rights of said owner under each Management
Agreement, (z) promptly notify Lender of the giving of any written notice to any Borrower
and/or Operating Lessee of any default by the owner in the performance or observance of any
of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Management Agreement on the part of the owner
thereunder to be performed and observed (which Borrower or Operating Lessee may contest in
accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement) and deliver to Lender a true copy of
each such notice, and (aa) promptly deliver to Lender a copy of each financial statement,
business plan, capital expenditure plan, notice of a default under the Management Agreement,
report regarding operations at the related Individual Property, estimates of any monetary
nature and any other items reasonably requested by Lender, in each case received by any
Borrower or Operating Lessee under any Management Agreement.

                         (ii) No Borrower shall (and shall not cause or permit any Operating Lessee to), without
the prior consent of the Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld),
surrender any Management Agreement or terminate or cancel any Management Agreement or
modify, change, supplement, alter or amend, in any material respect, any Management
Agreement, either orally or in writing, and each Borrower hereby assigns to Lender as
further security for the payment of the Indebtedness and for the performance and observance
of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Loan Agreement, any and all rights,
privileges and prerogatives of each Borrower to surrender any Management Agreement or to
terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend, in any material respect, any
Management Agreement, and any such surrender of any Management Agreement or termination,
cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of any Management
Agreement without the prior consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld) shall be void and of no force and effect.

                         (iii) If any Borrower or Operating Lessee shall default in the performance or
observance of any material term, covenant or condition of any Management Agreement on the
part of the Borrower or Operating Lessee thereunder to be performed or observed beyond any
applicable notice and cure periods contained therein, and Borrower or Operating Lessee is
not contesting the validity of such default in good faith in accordance with the terms of
the Management Agreement, then, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of
this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing any Borrower from any of its obligations
hereunder, Lender shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums
and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all the terms,
covenants and conditions of such Management Agreement on the part of the owner to be
performed or observed to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of such Borrower, to
the end that the rights of said Borrower and/or Operating Lessee in, to and under such
Management Agreement shall be kept unimpaired and free from default. Any such amounts so
advanced by Lender together with interest thereon from the date expended by Lender of the
Default Rate shall be part of the Indebtedness and Borrower shall immediately repay such
amounts to

75

 

Lender upon demand. Pursuant to the terms of the applicable Subordination, Attornment
and Security Agreement and/or Assignment of Management Agreement, Lender and any person
designated by Lender shall have, and are hereby granted, the right to enter upon the
applicable Individual Property at any time and from time to time for the purpose of taking
any such action. If any Manager shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice sent to any
Borrower and/or Operating Lessee of any default under any Management Agreement, and Borrower
or Operating Lessee is not contesting said default in good faith in accordance with the
terms of the Management Agreement, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender
for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender in good faith, in reliance thereon.

                         (iv) Each Borrower shall (or shall cause the applicable Operating Lessee to) exercise
each individual option, if any, to extend or renew the term of each Management Agreement
upon demand by Lender made at any time within ninety (90) days prior to the last day upon
which any such option may be exercised, and each Borrower hereby expressly authorizes and
appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact to exercise (or cause the applicable Operating
Lessee to exercise) any such option in the name of and upon behalf of such Borrower should
such Borrower fail to do so, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be
deemed to be coupled with an interest.

                         (v) Any sums expended by Lender pursuant to this Section shall bear interest at the
Default Rate from the date such cost is incurred to the date of payment to Lender, shall be
deemed to constitute a portion of the Indebtedness, shall be secured by the lien of the
Mortgage and the other Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable within two
(2) Business Days after demand by Lender therefor.

                         (vi) Each Borrower shall, promptly upon request of Lender, but no more than two (2)
times in any calendar year during the term of the Loan (unless (x) an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing or (y) such request is occasioned in connection with a Secondary
Market Transaction) use its diligent best efforts to obtain and deliver (or cause to be
delivered) an estoppel certificate from each Manager (A) certifying (1) that the Management
Agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications,
that the same, as modified, is in full force and effect and stating the modifications), and
(2) the date through which the management fees due under the Management Agreement have been
paid; (B) stating whether or not to the best knowledge of Manager (1) there is a continuing
default by Borrower or Operating Lessee in the performance or observance of any covenant,
agreement or condition contained in the Management Agreement or the Operating Lease, or (2)
there shall have occurred any event that, with the giving of notice or passage of time or
both, would become such a default, and, if so, specifying each such default or occurrence of
which Manager may have knowledge; and (C) stating such other information as Lender may
reasonably request. Such statement shall be binding upon Manager and may be relied upon by
Lender and/or such third party specified by Lender.

                         (vii) Upon the termination of any Management Agreement, subject to Section
5.1(P), each Borrower shall (or shall cause Operating

76

 

Lessee to) promptly enter into a new Management Agreement with a replacement Manager,
which shall deliver a comfort or similar letter and/or a Manager’s Subordination to and in
favor of Lender, all upon terms and conditions acceptable to Lender in its discretion.

                    (J) Access to Property. Each Borrower and Operating Lessee shall permit agents,
representatives and employees of Lender to inspect their Individual Properties or any part thereof
at such reasonable times as may be requested by Lender upon reasonable advance written notice and
without materially interfering with the business conducted at the Individual Property.

                    (K) Notice of Default. Each Borrower and Operating Lessee shall promptly advise
Lender of any material adverse change in such Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s condition, financial
or otherwise, or of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.

                    (L) Cooperate in Legal Proceedings. Except with respect to any claim by any Borrower
against Lender, such Borrower and Operating Lessee shall cooperate with Lender with respect to any
proceedings before any Governmental Authority which may in any way affect the rights of Lender
hereunder or any rights obtained by Lender under any of the Loan Documents and, in connection
therewith, not prohibit Lender, at its election, from participating in any such proceedings.

                    (M) Perform Loan Documents. Borrowers and Operating Lessee shall observe, perform and
satisfy all the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions required to be observed, performed or
satisfied by them, and shall pay when due all costs, fees and expenses required to be paid by them,
under the Loan Documents executed and delivered by such Borrower or Operating Lessee.

                    (N) Insurance Benefits; Condemnation Claims. Each Borrower and Operating Lessee shall
cooperate with Lender in settling any insurance or condemnation claim and/or obtaining for Lender
the benefits of any Insurance Proceeds and/or Condemnation Proceeds lawfully or equitably payable
to Lender in connection with any Individual Property, and Lender shall be reimbursed for any
expenses incurred in connection therewith (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements)
and the payment by any Borrower or Operating Lessee of the expense of an Appraisal on behalf of
Lender in case of a fire or other casualty affecting any Individual Property or any part thereof
out of such Insurance Proceeds and/or Condemnation Proceeds, all as more specifically provided in
the Mortgages.

                    (O) Further Assurances. Borrowers shall, at Borrowers’ sole cost and expense:

                         (i) upon Lender’s request therefor given from time to time after the occurrence of any
Event of Default pay for (a) reports of UCC, federal tax lien, state tax lien, judgment and
pending litigation searches with respect to any Borrower and (b) searches of title to any
Individual Property, each such search to be conducted by

77

 

search firms reasonably designated by Lender in each of the locations reasonably
designated by Lender.

                         (ii) furnish to Lender all instruments, documents, boundary surveys, footing or
foundation surveys, certificates, plans and specifications, appraisals, title and other
insurance reports and agreements, and each and every other document, certificate, agreement
and instrument required to be furnished pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents;

                         (iii) execute and deliver to Lender such documents, instruments, certificates,
assignments and other writings, and do such other acts necessary, to evidence, preserve
and/or protect the Collateral at any time securing or intended to secure the Notes, as
Lender may require in Lender’s discretion; and

                         (iv) do and execute all and such further lawful acts, conveyances and assurances for
the better and more effective carrying out of the intents and purposes of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, as Lender shall require from time to time in its reasonable
discretion.

                    (P) Management of Property.

                         (i) Each Individual Property will be managed at all times by the applicable Manager
pursuant to a Management Agreement unless terminated as herein provided. Subject to
Section 5.1(I), each Borrower and Operating Lessee shall comply with the terms of
and enforce its rights under the Management Agreement in all material respects. The
Management Agreement shall be terminated by Borrowers or Operating Lessee, at Lender’s
request, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Borrowers, Operating Lessee and the
applicable Manager (i) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, (ii) if the applicable
Manager commits any act which would permit termination by any Borrower or Operating Lessee
under the Management Agreement and/or any applicable Franchise Agreement, (iii) the
applicable Manager commits any act which constitutes an act of fraud, material
misrepresentation, intentional misrepresentation, gross negligence, willful misconduct,
misappropriation of funds, or intentional physical waste of any Individual Property, or (iv)
Borrower changes the Manager or Franchisor of an Individual Property without prior written
consent of Lender (except as otherwise permitted hereunder). If a manager is terminated
pursuant hereto, or the Management Agreement is otherwise terminated by Manager pursuant to
the terms contained therein, Borrowers and Operating Lessee shall promptly seek to appoint a
replacement manager acceptable to Lender in Lender’s discretion, and Borrowers’ or Operating
Lessee’s failure to appoint an acceptable manager within thirty (30) days after Lender’s
request of Borrowers to terminate the Management Agreement or other termination of the
Management Agreement shall constitute an immediate Event of Default. Borrowers or Operating
Lessee may from time to time appoint a successor manager to manage an Individual Property,
which successor manager shall be approved in writing by Lender in Lender’s discretion.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any successor manager selected hereunder by Lender, any
Borrower or Operating Lessee to serve as Manager (a) shall be either (1) the Remington
Manager provided, that the

78

 

Remington Manager shall manage the applicable Individual Property pursuant to the terms
of the master management agreement by and among the Borrowers and the Remington Manager, or
(2) a reputable management company having at least seven (7) years’ experience in the
management of commercial properties with similar uses as the Individual Properties and in
the jurisdiction in which the Individual Properties are located and (ii) shall not be paid
management fees in excess of fees which are market fees for comparable managers of
comparable properties in the same geographic area.

                         (ii) In the event that Marriott is Manager pursuant to a Management Agreement and
elects not to renew the term of the Management Agreement at the end of the initial term or
any renewal term of the Management Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, or the
Management Agreement is otherwise terminated by Manager pursuant to the terms contained
therein, then Borrower and Operating Lessee, upon notice of Marriott’s election not to renew
the Management Agreement or within thirty (30) days of any other termination of the
Management Agreement, shall promptly seek to appoint (x) a replacement manager acceptable to
Lender and the Rating Agencies, each in their discretion, and (y) a replacement hotel
franchise, acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies, each in their discretion, to occupy
and operate at the applicable Individual Property. Borrowers’ or Operating Lessee’s failure
to appoint an acceptable manager by the time the Management Agreement expires by its terms
or within thirty (30) days of any other termination of the Management Agreement, shall
constitute an immediate Event of Default. Borrowers’ or Operating Lessee’s failure to enter
into hotel management and operating agreements and other documents in connection therewith
(such as subordinations and comfort letters) acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies,
each in their discretion, with an acceptable hotel franchise to operate a hotel at the
applicable Individual Property by the time the Management Agreement expires by its terms
shall constitute an immediate Event of Default. For the purposes of this paragraph, (1)
Remington Manager shall be deemed an acceptable replacement manager, and (2) Starwood Hotels
& Resorts Worldwide, Inc., Hilton Hotels Corporation, Marriott International, Inc. or any
brand of any of them shall be deemed an acceptable replacement hotel franchise, and the
approval of any of the foregoing as manager or hotel franchise, as applicable, by Lender and
the Rating Agencies will not be required.

                         (i) Each Borrower and Operating Lessee shall keep and maintain or shall cause to be
kept and maintained, on a Fiscal Year basis, in accordance with GAAP, books, records and
accounts reflecting in reasonable detail all of the financial affairs of such Borrower or
Operating Lessee, as applicable, and all items of income and expense in connection with the
operation of the applicable Individual Properties and in connection with any services,
equipment or furnishings provided in connection with the operation of such Individual
Properties. Lender, at Lender’s cost and expense, whether such income or expense may be
realized by the applicable Borrower, Operating Lessee or by any other Person whatsoever,
shall have the right from time to time and at all times during normal business hours upon
reasonable prior written notice to such Borrower or Operating Lessee to examine such books,
records and accounts at the office of such Borrower, Operating Lessee or other Person
maintaining such books,

79

 

records and accounts and to make such copies or extracts thereof as Lender shall
desire. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrowers and Operating Lessee shall
pay any out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender to examine any and all of such
Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s books, records and accounts as Lender shall determine in
Lender’s discretion to be necessary or appropriate in the protection of Lender’s interest.

the relevant period, and (y) notice of whether there exists an Event of Default or Default,
and if such Event of Default or Default exists, the nature thereof, the period of time it

unaudited financial statement which shall (a) be in form and substance reasonably acceptable

(reasonably satisfactory to Lender) concerning its related Basic Carrying Costs for the next
succeeding Fiscal Year prior to the termination of each Fiscal Year.

                         (x) Each Borrower and Operating Lessee shall furnish to Lender annually no less than
thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of each Fiscal Year, a true, complete, correct and
accurate copy of such Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s draft annual capital and operating
budget for each such Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s Individual Property (each, an
“Approved Budget”), which Approved Budgets shall be subject to Lender’s prior review
and approval, which may be granted or withheld in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion.
Borrowers and Operating Lessee shall promptly revise and resubmit to Lender, for Lender’s
review and approval, any draft annual capital and operating budget to which Lender has
objected and requested revisions. Until such time that Lender approves or is deemed to have
approved an Approved Budget, the most recently approved Approved Budget shall apply;
provided that such approved Approved Budget shall be adjusted to reflect (x) matters in the
proposed Approved Budget approved by Lender, (y) as to matters in the proposed Approved
Budget not yet approved by Lender (i) increases for expenses actually incurred which vary in

Expenses”), and (ii) expenditures actually incurred which are beyond the reasonable
control of Borrower such as taxes, utilities and insurance (“Uncontrollable

even though such expenditures exceed the amount budgeted therefore in the Approved Budget if
such expenditures are for Variable Expenses or Uncontrollable Expenses.

                    (R) Conduct of Business. Each Borrower and Operating Lessee shall cause the operation
of the Individual Properties to be conducted at all times in a manner consistent with the
following:

                         (i) to maintain or cause to be maintained the standard of operations at each Individual
Property at all times at a level necessary to insure a level

82

 

of quality for each such Individual Property consistent with similar facilities in the
same competitive market;

                         (ii) to operate or cause to be operated each Individual Property in a prudent manner in
compliance in all material respects with applicable Legal Requirements and Insurance
Requirements relating thereto and cause all licenses, Permits, and any other agreements
necessary for the continued use and operation of each Individual Property to remain in
effect except to the extent the failure thereof would not have a Material Adverse Effect;
and

                         (iii) to maintain or cause to be maintained sufficient inventory and equipment of types
and quantities at each Individual Property to enable Borrowers or the applicable Manager to
operate the Individual Properties.

                    (S) ERISA.

                         (a) Each Borrower and Operating Lessee shall deliver to Lender as soon as possible, and in any

maintained by Borrower, Operating Lessee or any ERISA Affiliate of either of them has occurred or
exists, a statement signed by a senior financial officer of such Borrower setting forth details
respecting such event or condition and the action, if any, that such Borrower, Operating Lessee or
its ERISA Affiliate proposes to take with respect thereto (and a copy of any report or notice
required to be filed with or given to PBGC by such Borrower, Operating Lessee or an ERISA Affiliate
with respect to such event or condition):

                         (ii) any reportable event, as defined in Section 4043(b) of ERISA and the regulations
issued thereunder, with respect to a Plan, as to which PBGC has not by regulation waived the
requirement of Section 4043(a) of ERISA that it be notified within 30 days of the occurrence
of such event (provided that a failure to meet the minimum funding standard of Section 412
of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA, including, without limitation, the failure to make on
or before its due date a required installment under Section 412(m) of the Code or Section
302(e) of ERISA, shall be a reportable event regardless of the issuance of any waivers in
accordance with Section 412(d) of the Code); and any request for a waiver under Section
412(d) of the Code for any Plan;

                         (iii) the distribution under Section 4041 of ERISA of a notice of intent to terminate
any Plan or any action taken by Borrower, Operating Lessee or an ERISA Affiliate to
terminate any Plan;

                         (iv) the institution by PBGC of proceedings under Section 4042 of ERISA for the
termination of, or the appointment of a trustee to administer, any Plan, or the receipt by
any Borrower, Operating Lessee or any ERISA Affiliate of a notice from a Multiemployer Plan
that such action has been taken by PBGC with respect to such Multiemployer Plan;

83

 

                         (v) the complete or partial withdrawal from a Multiemployer Plan by any Borrower,
Operating Lessee or any ERISA Affiliate that results in liability under Section 4201 or 4204
of ERISA (including the obligation to satisfy secondary liability as a result of a purchaser
default) or the receipt by any Borrower, Operating Lessee or any ERISA Affiliate of notice
from a Multiemployer Plan that it is in reorganization or insolvency pursuant to Section
4241 or 4245 of ERISA or that it intends to terminate or has terminated under Section 4041A
of ERISA;

                         (vi) the institution of a proceeding by a fiduciary of any Multiemployer Plan against
any Borrower, Operating Lessee or any ERISA Affiliate to enforce Section 515 of ERISA, which
proceeding is not dismissed within thirty (30) days;

                         (vii) the adoption of an amendment to any Plan that, pursuant to Section 401(a)(29) of
the Code or Section 307 of ERISA, would result in the loss of tax-exempt status of the trust
of which such Plan is a part if any Borrower, Operating Lessee or an ERISA Affiliate fails
to timely provide security to the Plan in accordance with the provisions of said Sections;
and

                         (viii) the imposition of a lien or a security interest in connection with a Plan.

                         (b) No Borrower or Operating Lessee shall engage in any transaction which would cause any
obligation, or action taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the exercise by Lender of any of its
rights under the Notes, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt (under a
statutory or administrative class exemption) prohibited transaction under the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).

                         (c) Each applicable Borrower and Operating Lessee hereby certifies and shall deliver to Lender
such certifications or other evidence from time to time throughout the term of the Loan, as
reasonably requested by Lender, that (A) such Borrower or Operating Lessee is not an “employee
benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, which is subject to Title I of ERISA, a “plan”
as defined in Section 4975 of the Code, which is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or a
“governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA; (B) such Borrower or Operating
Lessee is not subject to state statutes regulating investments and fiduciary obligations with
respect to governmental plans or, if such Borrower is subject to such statutes, such statutes do
not in any manner affect the ability of the such Borrower or Operating Lessee to perform its
obligations under the Loan Documents or the ability of Lender to enforce any and all of its rights
under the Loan Agreement; and (C) one or more of the following circumstances is true: (i) Equity
interests in such Borrower or Operating Lessee are publicly offered securities, within the meaning
of 29 C.F.R. §2510.3-101(b)(2); (ii) Less than twenty-five percent of each outstanding class of

an “operating company” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. §2510.3-101(c).

84

 

                         (d) If an investor or equity owner in any Borrower or Operating Lessee is (directly or
indirectly) a plan that is not subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, but is
subject to the provisions of any federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that
are similar to those portions of ERISA or the Code (collectively, “Other Plan Laws”), the
assets of such Borrower or Operating Lessee shall not constitute the assets of such plan under such
Other Plan Laws.

                    (T) Single Purpose Entity. Each Borrower, each SPE Equity Owner and Operating Lessee
shall at all times be a Single-Purpose Entity.

                    (U) Trade Indebtedness. Each Borrower and Operating Lessee will pay its trade
payables within sixty (60) days of the date incurred, unless such Borrower or Operating Lessee is
in good faith contesting such Borrower’s obligation to pay such trade payables in a manner
reasonably satisfactory to Lender (which may include Lender’s requirement that such Borrower or
Operating Lessee post security with respect to the contested trade payable).

                    (V) Deferred Maintenance. Borrower shall, within six (6) months of the date hereof,
perform the deferred maintenance work (the “Deferred Maintenance”) to the Property itemized

all capital improvements to each Individual Property (other than the PIP Work) contemplated by and
itemized in the Capital Improvements and PIP Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit J on or
prior to December 31, 2006; provided, that notwithstanding anything herein or in any other
Loan Documents to the contrary, with respect to each Individual Property, (x) Borrowers shall not
spend an unreasonable amount on the foregoing items (i) and (ii) (it being agreed that, with
respect to any PIP Work, an amount less than or equal to the related PIP Costs shall be a
reasonable amount, and, with respect to any capital improvement, an amount less than or equal to
the related cost of such capital improvement shown on Exhibit J shall be deemed a
reasonable amount), (y) Borrowers shall spend at least an amount equal to the “Required Expenditure
Amount” shown opposite such Individual Property on Exhibit I hereto on the foregoing items

Lender with copies of bills and other documentation as may be reasonably requested by Lender to
establish that that such PIP Work and capital improvements have been completed and that the

Lessee shall certify in writing to Lender that such Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s, as
applicable, representations, warranties and obligations under Section 4.1(NN) and this
Section remain true and correct and have not been breached. Each Borrower and Operating Lessee
shall immediately notify Lender in writing if any representations, warranties or covenants are no
longer true or have been breached or if such Borrower or Operating Lessee has a reasonable basis to
believe that they may no longer be true or have been breached. In connection with such an event,
such Borrower or Operating Lessee shall comply with all Legal Requirements and directives of
Governmental Authorities and, at Lender’s request, provide to Lender copies of all notices, reports
and other communications exchanged with, or received from, Governmental Authorities relating to
such an event. Borrowers and Operating Lessee shall also promptly reimburse to Lender any and all
costs and expenses incurred by Lender in evaluating the effect of such an event on the Loan and
Lender’s interest in the collateral for the Loan, in obtaining any necessary license from
Governmental Authorities as may be necessary for Lender to enforce its rights under the Loan
Documents, and in complying with all Legal Requirements applicable to Lender as the result of the
existence of such an event and for any penalties or fines imposed upon Lender as a result thereof.

                    (Y) Franchise Agreements.

               (a) Each Non-Marriott Property shall be operated under the terms and conditions of the
applicable Franchise Agreement in all material respects. Each Borrower shall or shall cause the
applicable Operating Lessee to (i) pay all sums required to be paid by the franchisee under each
Franchise Agreement, (ii) diligently perform, observe and enforce all of the terms, covenants and
conditions of each Franchise Agreement on the part of the franchisee thereunder to be performed,
observed and enforced to the end that all things shall be done which are necessary to keep
unimpaired the rights of said franchisee under each Franchise Agreement, (iii) promptly notify
Lender of the giving of any notice to any Borrower and/or Operating Lessee of any material default
by the franchisee in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of
any Franchise Agreement on the part of the franchisee thereunder to be performed and observed and
deliver to Lender a true copy of each such notice, and (iv) promptly deliver to Lender a copy of
each financial statement, business plan, capital expenditure plan, notice of a material default
under the Franchise Agreement, report regarding operations at the related Individual Property,
estimates of any monetary nature and any other items reasonably requested by Lender, in each case
received by any Borrower or Operating Lessee under any Franchise Agreement.

               (b) No Borrower shall (and shall not cause or permit any Operating Lessee to), without the
prior consent of the Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), surrender any
Franchise Agreement or terminate or cancel any Franchise Agreement or modify, change, supplement,
alter or amend any Franchise Agreement, in any material

86

 

respect, either orally or in writing, and each Borrower hereby assigns to Lender as further
security for the payment of the Indebtedness and for the performance and observance of the terms,
covenants and conditions of this Loan Agreement, any and all rights, privileges and prerogatives of
each Borrower to surrender any Franchise Agreement or to terminate, cancel, modify, change,
supplement, alter or amend any Franchise Agreement in any respect, and any such surrender of any
Franchise Agreement or termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or
amendment of any Franchise Agreement without the prior consent of Lender (which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld) shall be void and of no force and effect.

               (c) If any franchisee shall default in the performance or observance of any material term,
covenant or condition of any Franchise Agreement on the part of the franchisee thereunder to be
performed or observed, then, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this
Agreement, and without waiving or releasing any Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder,
Lender shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any
act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all the terms, covenants and conditions of
such Franchise Agreement on the part of the franchisee to be performed or observed to be promptly
performed or observed on behalf of such Borrower, to the end that the rights of said franchisee
(and/or such Borrower and/or Operating Lessee) in, to and under such Franchise Agreement shall be
kept unimpaired and free from default. Any such amounts so advanced by Lender together with
interest thereon from the date expended by Lender of the Default Rate shall be part of the
Indebtedness and Borrower shall immediately repay such amounts to Lender upon demand. Pursuant to
the terms of the applicable Subordination Attornment and Security Agreement and/or Assignment of
Management Agreement, Lender and any person designated by Lender shall have, and are hereby
granted, the right to enter upon the applicable Individual Property at any time and from time to
time for the purpose of taking any such action. If any Franchisor shall deliver to Lender a copy
of any notice sent to any Borrower and/or Operating Lessee of any default under any Franchise
Agreement, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted
to be taken by Lender in good faith, in reliance thereon.

               (d) Each Borrower shall (or shall cause the applicable Operating Lessee to) exercise each
individual option, if any, to extend or renew the term of each Franchise Agreement upon demand by
Lender made at any time within ninety (90) days prior to the last day upon which any such option
may be exercised, and each Borrower hereby expressly authorizes and appoints Lender as its
attorney-in-fact to exercise (or cause the applicable Operating Lessee to exercise) any such option
in the name of and upon behalf of such Borrower should such Borrower fail to do so, which power of
attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest.

               (e) Any sums expended by Lender pursuant to this Section shall bear interest at the Default
Rate from the date such cost is incurred to the date of payment to Lender, shall be deemed to
constitute a portion of the Indebtedness, shall be secured by the lien of the Mortgage and the
other Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable within two (2) Business Days after
demand by Lender therefor.

87

 

               (f) Each Borrower shall, promptly upon request of Lender, but no more than two (2) times in
any calendar year during the term of the Loan (unless (i) an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing or (ii) such request is occasioned in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction)
use its diligent best efforts to obtain and deliver (or cause to be delivered) an estoppel
certificate from each Franchisor stating that (i) each applicable Franchise Agreement is in full
force and effect and has not been modified, amended or assigned, (ii) neither such Franchisor nor
the franchisee named thereunder is in default under any of the terms, covenants or provisions of
each applicable Franchise Agreement and such Franchisor knows of no event which, but for the
passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute an event of default under each
applicable Franchise Agreement, (iii) neither such Franchisor nor the franchisee thereunder has
commenced any action or given or received any notice for the purpose of terminating any applicable
Franchise Agreement and (iv) all sums due and payable to such Franchisor under each applicable
Franchise Agreement have been paid in full.

               (g) Upon the termination of any Franchise Agreement, each Borrower shall (or shall cause
Operating Lessee to) promptly enter into a new Franchise Agreement with a replacement Franchisor,
which shall deliver a comfort or similar letter to and in favor of Lender, all upon terms and
conditions reasonably acceptable to Lender.

                    (Z) Upfront Remediation. Borrower shall, by the respective required completion dates
set forth in Exhibit K, perform the environmental remediation to the Property itemized on
Exhibit K hereto (the “Upfront Remediation”). Furthermore, Borrower shall
diligently perform, or cause to be performed, all other Remediation as required by and in
accordance with the terms of this Agreements.

                    (F) Affiliate Transactions. Except as otherwise permitted under the Loan Documents,
enter into, or be a party to, any transaction with an Affiliate of any Borrower or Operating

of any default which can be cured by the payment of a commercially reasonable sum of money
or for thirty (30) days after written notice from Lender or its successors or assigns, in
the case of any other default (unless otherwise provided herein or in such other Loan
Document); provided, however, that if such non-monetary default under this
subparagraph is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such
thirty (30) day period and provided further that such Borrower shall have commenced to cure
such default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently and expeditiously
proceeds to cure the same, such thirty (30) day period shall be extended for such time as is
reasonably necessary for such Borrower in the exercise of due diligence to cure such
default, but in no event shall such period exceed ninety (90) days after the original notice
from Lender;

                    (xxii) if any Operating Lessee is in default beyond any applicable notice or cure
period under the applicable Operating Lease;

with Borrower’s PIP Work;

                    (xxv) if (A) Subject to Section 2.11(e)(vi) hereof, Borrower shall fail in the

covenant or condition of any Ground Lease on the part of Borrower, to be observed or
performed (unless waived by the lessor under the applicable Ground Lease), (C) if any one or
more of the events referred to in any Ground Lease shall occur which would cause such Ground
Lease to terminate without notice or action by the lessor under such Ground Lease or which
would entitle the lessor to terminate such Ground Lease and the term thereof by giving
notice to Borrower, as tenant thereunder (unless waived by the lessor under the applicable
Ground Lease), (D) if the leasehold estate created by any Ground Lease shall be surrendered
or such Ground Lease shall be terminated or canceled for any reason or under any
circumstances or (E) if any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Ground Lease shall

     Section 7.2. Remedies.

               (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or
more of the rights, powers and other remedies available to Lender against Borrowers or any Borrower
under this Agreement, the Note, any Mortgages or any of the other Loan Documents, or at law or in
equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time (including, without limitation,
the right to accelerate and declare the outstanding principal amount, unpaid interest, Default Rate
interest, Late Charges, Prepayment Premium and any other amounts owing by such Borrower to be
immediately due and payable), without notice or demand, whether or not all or any portion of the
Indebtedness shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any
foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of
the Loan Documents with respect to all or any portion of the Collateral. Any such actions taken by
Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively,
together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its discretion, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and
remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan
Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary herein, the outstanding principal
amount, unpaid interest, Default Rate interest, Late Charges, Prepayment Premium and any other
amounts owing by any Borrower shall be accelerated and immediately due and payable, without any
election by Lender upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 7.1(xii)
or Section 7.1 (xiii). Notwithstanding that this Agreement may refer to a continuing Event
of Default, and without limiting any Borrower’s right to cure a Default which may, with the passage
of time, become an Event of Default, no Borrower shall have any right pursuant to this Agreement to
cure any Event of Default unless permitted by Lender in writing.

     Section 7.3. Remedies Cumulative.

          The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not
exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against any Borrower or any
other Person pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents executed by or with respect to
any Borrower or any other Person, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights,
powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such
order as Lender may determine in Lender’s discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy,
right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or
shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from
time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of any Default or Event of Default
shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default or to impair
any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. Any and all of Lender’s rights with respect to the
Collateral shall continue unimpaired, and each Borrower shall be and remain obligated in accordance
with the terms hereof, notwithstanding (i) the release or substitution of Collateral at any time,
or of any rights or interest therein or (ii) any delay, extension of time, renewal, compromise or
other indulgence granted by Lender in the event of any Default or Event of Default with respect to
the Collateral or otherwise hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, but
subject to Section 8.14 hereof, Lender reserves the right to seek a deficiency
judgment or preserve a

94

 

deficiency claim, in connection with the foreclosure of any or all Mortgages, to the extent
necessary to foreclose on other parts of the Collateral.

     Section 7.4. Lender’s Right to Perform.

          If any Borrower fails to perform any covenant or obligation contained herein and such failure
shall continue for a period of (5) five Business Days after such Borrower’s receipt of written
notice thereof from Lender, without in any way limiting Section 7.1 hereof, Lender
may, but shall have no obligation to, itself perform, or cause performance of, such covenant or
obligation, and the expenses of Lender incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by
Borrowers to Lender upon demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation to
send notice to such Borrower of any such failure.

ARTICLE 8

MISCELLANEOUS

     Section 8.1. Survival.

          Subject to Section 4.2, this Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations
and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the execution and delivery by Borrowers to Lender of
the Notes, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any portion of the Indebtedness
is outstanding and unpaid. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to,
such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of any such party. All
covenants, promises and agreements in this Agreement contained, by or on behalf of Borrower, shall
inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of Lender. Nothing in this Agreement
or in any other Loan Document, express or implied, shall give to any Person other than the parties
and the holder(s) of the Notes and the other Loan Documents, and their legal representatives,
successors and assigns, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim hereunder.

     Section 8.2. Lender’s Discretion.

          Whenever pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Lender exercises any right,
option or election given to Lender to approve or disapprove, or consent or withhold consent, or any
arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender or is to be in Lender’s discretion, the
decision of Lender to approve or disapprove, consent or withhold consent, or to decide whether
arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory or acceptable or not acceptable to
Lender in Lender’s discretion, shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in
the sole and absolute discretion of Lender. Whenever pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document (a) the Rating Agencies are given any right to approve or disapprove, (b) confirmation is
required from the Rating Agencies that an action will not result in a downgrade or withdrawal of
the ratings in a Secondary Market Transaction or (c) any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory
to the Rating Agencies, the approval of Lender shall be substituted therefore prior to the date
that all or any portion of the

95

 

Loan is included in a REMIC, among other things, Lender’s reasonable determination of Rating
Agency criteria.

     Section 8.3. Governing Law.

BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY EACH COURT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR
PROCEEDING. EACH BORROWER DOES HEREBY DESIGNATE AND APPOINT CSC NETWORKS, 500 CENTRAL AVENUE,

96

 

     Section 8.4. Modification, Waiver in Writing.

          No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document, or consent to any departure by any Borrower
therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the
party against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only
in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, no notice to or demand on any Borrower shall entitle such Borrower to any other or
future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

     Section 8.5. Delay Not a Waiver.

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

all or any portion of the Loan evidenced hereby, including without limitation, any servicer or
trustee in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction. Lender shall provide any Borrower with
written notice of any such assignment; provided, however, that such notice shall
not be a condition of Lender’s right to assign this Agreement and/or any of the Loan Documents and
the failure to deliver such notice shall not constitute a default under this Loan Agreement. At
the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer and\or trustee selected by Lender and
Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents to such servicer and\or trustee pursuant to a servicing agreement between Lender and
such servicer and\or trustee.

     Section 8.10. Severability.

          Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to
be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be
prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the
remaining provisions of this Agreement.

     Section 8.11. Preferences.

          Lender shall have no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Borrower or any other
party or against or in payment of any or all of the obligations of any Borrower pursuant to this
Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive
right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by any Borrower to any portion of the
obligations of any Borrower hereunder. To the extent any Borrower makes a payment or payments to
Lender for any Borrower’s benefit, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a
trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or
equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the obligations
hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and
effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.

     Section 8.12. Waiver of Notice.

          No Borrower shall be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with
respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly
provide for the giving of notice by Lender to such Borrower and

99

 

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

     Section 8.13. Remedies of Borrower.

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

     Section 8.14. Exculpation.

          Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 8.14 and Section
4.2 to the contrary, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of any Borrower
or Operating Lessee to perform and observe the obligations contained in this Agreement, the Note,
any Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by any Borrower or Operating
Lessee except that Lender may pursue any power of sale, bring a foreclosure action, action for
specific performance, action for money judgment, or other appropriate action or proceeding
(including, without limitation, to obtain a deficiency judgment) against any or all Borrowers, or
Operating Lessee or any other Person solely for the purpose of enabling Lender to realize upon (a)
any Collateral, and (b) any Rents to the extent (x) received by any Borrower or any Manager (or any
of their affiliates), after the occurrence of an Event of Default or (y) distributed to any
Borrower, Operating Lessee or any Manager, or their respective shareholders, or partners or
members, as applicable, or affiliates during or with respect to any period for which Lender did not
receive the full amounts it was entitled to receive as prepayments of the Loan pursuant to
Section 2.6(b) (all Rents covered by clauses (x) and (y) being
hereinafter referred to as the “Recourse Distributions”) and (c)) any other collateral
given to Lender under the Loan Documents ((a), (b), and (c) collectively, the “Default
Collateral”); provided, however, that any judgment in any action or
proceeding shall be enforceable only to the extent of any Default Collateral. The provisions of
this Section 8.14 shall not, however, (a) impair the validity of the Indebtedness
evidenced by the Loan Documents or in any way affect or impair the Liens of any Mortgage or any of
the other Loan Documents or the right of Lender to foreclose any Mortgage following an Event of
Default; (b) impair the right of Lender to name any Person as a party defendant in any action or
suit for judicial foreclosure and sale under any Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or
enforceability of the Note, any Mortgage or the other Loan Documents; (d) impair the right of
Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the right of Lender to bring suit for
and recover against any Person any damages, losses, expenses, liabilities or costs resulting from
fraud, willful misrepresentation, waste of all or any portion of any Individual Property, or
wrongful removal or disposal of all or any portion of any Individual Property by any Person in
connection with this Agreement, the Note, any Mortgage or the other Loan Documents; (f)

100

 

impair the right of Lender to obtain the Recourse Distributions received by any Person; (g)
impair the right of Lender to bring suit for and recover against any Person with respect to any
misappropriation of security deposits or Rents collected more than one (1) month in advance; (h)
impair the right of Lender to obtain Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds due to Lender
pursuant to any Mortgage; (i) impair the right of Lender to enforce the provisions of
Sections 4.1(V) or 5.1(D) through 5.1(G), inclusive of this
Agreement, Section 2.8 of each Mortgage or the Environmental Indemnity even after
repayment in full by any Borrower of the Indebtedness; (j) prevent or in any way hinder Lender from
exercising, or constitute a defense, or counterclaim, or other basis for relief in respect of the
exercise of, any other remedy against any or all of the Collateral securing the Note as provided in
the Loan Documents; (k) impair the right of Lender to bring suit for and recover against any person
with respect to any misapplication of any funds (including, without limitation, insurance proceeds
and condemnation proceeds); (l) impair the right of Lender to sue for, seek or demand a deficiency
judgment against any Person solely for the purpose of foreclosing on any Collateral or any part
thereof, or realizing upon the Default Collateral, or (m) impair the right of Lender to bring suit
for and recover against any Person any damages, losses, expenses, liabilities or costs in the event
that Borrower or any Operating Lessee shall take any action of any kind or nature whatsoever,
either directly or indirectly to oppose, impede, obstruct, challenge, hinder, frustrate, enjoin or
otherwise interfere with (A) Lender’s termination of any Operating Lease with any Operating Lessee,
(B) Lender or the party acquiring any Individual Property following the occurrence of a foreclosure
or deed in lieu thereof (in full substitution of the applicable Operating Lessee) being deemed the
“Owner” under the Management Agreement, (C) the execution, delivery or effectiveness of a new
Management Agreement directly between Lender or the party acquiring any Individual Property
following a foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof and applicable Manager or (D) any payment or other
transfer by any Manager of funds which would otherwise be paid to any Operating Lessee under any
Operating Lease directly to Lender or the party acquiring any Individual Property following the
occurrence of a foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof, in each case after or as a result of any
automatic termination of the applicable Operating Lease or of Lender exercising its right to
terminate the Operating Lease, in each case pursuant to the applicable Subordination, Attornment
and Security Agreement and this Agreement, or shall, either directly or indirectly, cause or permit
any other person to take any action which, if taken by such Operating Lessee would constitute an
event described in this Section 8.14(m); provided, however, that
any deficiency judgment referred to in this Section 8.14(m) shall be enforceable only to
the extent of any of the Default Collateral. The preceding provisions of this Section 8.14
shall be inapplicable to any Person if (i) any petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or
arrangement pursuant to federal or state law against any Borrower or Operating Lessee shall be
filed by any Borrower, Operating Lessee, or any Affiliate of any Borrower or Operating Lessee, (ii)
if an involuntary bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding is commenced against any Borrower or
Operating Lessee (by a party other than Lender) but only if such Borrower has consented or
acquiesced to such proceeding or if Borrower, Operating Lessee or any Affiliate of Borrower or
Operating Lessee has acted in concert with, colluded or conspired with the party
 to cause the
filing thereof or has consented to or acquiesced thereto, (iii) if any Borrower or Operating Lessee
shall institute any proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation of any Borrower or Operating
Lessee, (iv) if any Borrower or Operating Lessee shall make an assignment for the benefit of
creditors, (v) if any Borrower or Operating Lessee shall breach any representation, warranty or
covenant in Section 4.1(C) (such that such breach was considered by a court as a factor in
the court’s finding for a

101

 

consolidation of the assets of a Borrower or Operating Lessee with the assets of another
person or entity or as a result thereof Lender suffers any material damage, cost, liability or
expense; provided, however, that in the absence of an actual consolidation, recourse may be had
against Borrower or Operating Lessee only to the extent of losses for such breach), 4.1(V),
4.1(AA), 5.1(T) (such that such breach was considered by a court as a factor in the
court’s finding for a consolidation of the assets of a Borrower or Operating Lessee with the assets
of another person or entity or as a result thereof Lender suffers any material damage, cost,
liability or expense; provided, however, that in the absence of an actual consolidation, recourse
may be had against Borrower or Operating Lessee only to the extent of losses for such breach) or
5.1(X), (v) if any Borrower or Operating Lessee allows any Transfer to occur in violation
of Section 6.1(B) hereof or otherwise fails to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any
Transfer to the extent any consent is required in the Loan Documents, (vi) any Borrower or
Operating Lessee interferes with Lender’s exercise of any of its rights or remedies hereunder or
(vii) if any Borrower or Operating Lessee breaches any representation or warranty contained in
Section 4.1(S).

     Section 8.15. Exhibits Incorporated.

          The information set forth on the cover, heading and recitals hereof, and the Exhibits attached
hereto, are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set
forth in the body hereof.

     Section 8.16. Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses.

          Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Note, any Mortgage and the
other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses
which are unrelated to the Loan, this Agreement, the Note, any Mortgage and the other Loan
Documents which any Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor, and no such unrelated
counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by any Borrower in any action or proceeding
brought by any such assignee upon this Agreement, the Note, any Mortgage and other Loan Documents
and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any
such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by each Borrower.

     Section 8.17. No Joint Venture or Partnership.

          Each Borrower and Lender intend that the relationship created hereunder be solely that of
borrower and lender. Nothing herein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership,
tenants-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between any Borrower and Lender nor to grant
Lender any interest in any Individual Property other than that of mortgagee or lender.

     Section 8.18. Waiver of Marshalling of Assets Defense.

          To the fullest extent that each Borrower may legally do so, each Borrower waives all rights to
a marshalling of the assets of each such Borrower, and others with interests in such Borrower, and
of any Individual Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure
of the interests hereby created, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to
the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead

102

 

exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to
defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of any Individual
Property for the collection of the Indebtedness without any prior or different resort for
collection, or the right of Lender or Deed of Trust Trustee to the payment of the Indebtedness in
preference to every other claimant whatsoever.

     Section 8.19. Waiver of Counterclaim.

          Each Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than compulsory
counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against Borrower by Lender or Lender’s agents.

     Section 8.20. Conflict; Construction of Documents.

          In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of
the Notes, any Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall
prevail. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by counsel in connection with
the negotiation and drafting of the Loan Documents and that the Loan Documents shall not be subject
to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same.

     Section 8.21. Brokers and Financial Advisors.

          Borrower and Lender hereby represent that they have dealt with no financial advisors, brokers,
underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement. Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and
against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind in any way relating to or
arising from a claim by any Person, that such Person acted on behalf of any Borrower 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 Indebtedness.

     Section 8.22. Counterparts.

          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 shall together constitute one and the same
instrument.

     Section 8.23. Estoppel Certificates.

          Each Borrower and Lender each hereby agree at any time and from time to time upon not less
than fifteen (15) days prior written notice by any Borrower or Lender (but no more than four (4)
times per year unless (i) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) such request
is occasioned in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction) to execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the party specified in such notice, a statement, in writing, certifying that this
Agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the
same, as modified, is in full force and effect and stating the modifications hereto), and stating
whether or not, to the knowledge of such certifying party, any Default or

103

 

Event of Default has occurred, and, if so, specifying each such Default or Event of Default;
provided, however, that it shall be a condition precedent to Lender’s
obligation to deliver the statement pursuant to this Section, that Lender shall have
received, together with Borrower’s request for such statement, an Officer’s Certificate stating
that no Default or Event of Default exists as of the date of such certificate (or specifying such
Default or Event of Default).

     Section 8.24. Payment of Expenses.

          Borrowers shall, whether or not the Transactions are consummated, pay all Transaction Costs,
which shall include, without limitation, reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs, expenses, and
disbursements of Lender and its attorneys, local counsel, accountants and other contractors in
connection with (i) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and
the documents and instruments referred to therein, (ii) the creation, perfection or protection of
Lender’s Liens in the Collateral (including, without limitation, fees and expenses for title and
lien searches and filing and recording fees, intangibles taxes, personal property taxes, mortgage
recording taxes, due diligence expenses, travel expenses, and accounting firm fees, costs of the
Appraisals, Environmental Reports (and an environmental consultant), Surveys and the Engineering

any restructuring or rescheduling of the Indebtedness, to the extent expressly required hereunder.

     Section 8.25. Bankruptcy Waiver.

          Each Borrower hereby agrees that, in consideration of the recitals and mutual covenants
contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, if any Borrower (i) files with any bankruptcy court of competent
jurisdiction or be the subject of any petition under Title 11 of the U.S. Code, as amended, (ii) is
the subject of any order for relief issued under Title 11 of the U.S. Code, as amended, (iii) files
or is the subject of any petition seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition,
readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or law relating to
bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief of debtors, (iv) has sought or consents to or acquiesces in
the appointment of any trustee, receiver, conservator or liquidator or (v) is the subject of any
order, judgment or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction approving a petition filed
against such party for any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation,
dissolution or similar relief under any present or future federal or state act or law relating to
bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief for debtors, the automatic stay provided by the Federal
Bankruptcy Code shall be modified and annulled as to Lender, so as to permit Lender to exercise any
and all of its rights and remedies, upon request of Lender made on notice to any Borrower and any
other party in interest but without the need of further proof or hearing. Neither Borrower nor any
Affiliate of any Borrower shall contest the enforceability of this Section.

104

 

     Section 8.26. Entire Agreement.

          This Agreement, together with the Exhibits hereto and the other Loan Documents constitutes the
entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained in this
Agreement, the Exhibits hereto and the other Loan Documents and supersedes all prior agreements,
understandings and negotiations between the parties.

     Section 8.27. Dissemination of Information.

          If Lender determines at any time to participate in a Secondary Market Transaction, Lender may
forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant or investor in such
securities (collectively, the “Investor”), any Rating Agency rating such securities, any
organization maintaining databases on the underwriting and performance of commercial loans,
trustee, counsel, accountant, and each prospective Investor, all documents and information which
Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Loan, any Borrower, any direct or indirect
equity owner of any Borrower, any guarantor, any indemnitor and each Individual Property, which
shall have been furnished by such Borrower any Affiliate of any Borrower, any guarantor, any
indemnitor, or any party to any Loan Document, or otherwise furnished in connection with the Loan,
as Lender in its discretion determines necessary or desirable.

     Section 8.28. Limitation of Interest.

          It is the intention of each Borrower and Lender to conform strictly to applicable usury laws.
Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby would be usurious under applicable law, then,
in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, it is agreed as
follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under applicable law
that is taken, reserved, contracted for, charged or received under any Loan Document or otherwise
in connection with the Loan shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest
allowed by applicable law, and any excess shall be credited to principal by Lender (or if the Loan
shall have been paid in full, refunded to any Borrower); and (ii) in the event that maturity of the
Loan is accelerated by reason of an election by Lender resulting from any default hereunder or
otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that
constitutes interest may never include more than the maximum amount of interest allowed by
applicable law, and any interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable
law, if any, provided for in the Loan Documents or otherwise shall be cancelled automatically as of
the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore prepaid, shall be credited to
principal (or if the principal portion of the Loan and any other amounts not constituting interest
shall have been paid in full, refunded to any Borrower.)

          In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingency
exceeds the maximum amount allowed by applicable law, Lender shall, to the maximum extent permitted
under applicable law (a) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (b) amortize,
prorate, allocate and spread, in equal parts, the total amount of interest throughout the entire
contemplated term of the Loan so that the interest rate is uniform throughout the entire term of
the Loan; provided, that if the Loan is paid and performed in full

105

 

prior to the end of the full contemplated term hereof, and if the interest received for the
actual period of existence thereof exceeds the maximum amount allowed by applicable law, Lender
shall refund to any Borrower the amount of such excess, and in such event, Lender shall not be
subject to any penalties provided by any laws for contracting for, charging or receiving interest
in excess of the maximum amount allowed by applicable law.

     Section 8.29. Indemnification.

          Borrowers shall indemnify and hold Lender and each other Indemnified Party harmless against
any and all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses (including the fees and disbursements of
outside counsel retained by any such person) or liabilities in connection with, arising out of or
as a result of the transactions and matters referred to or contemplated by this Agreement, except
to the extent that it is finally judicially determined that any such loss, claim, damage, cost,
expense or liability resulted directly and solely from the gross negligence, fraud or willful
misconduct of such Indemnified Party. If any Indemnified Party becomes involved in any action,
proceeding or investigation in connection with any transaction or matter referred to or
contemplated in this Agreement, Borrowers shall periodically reimburse any Indemnified Party upon
demand herefore in an amount equal to its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the costs
of any investigation and preparation) incurred in connection therewith to the extent such legal or
other expenses are the subject of indemnification hereunder. IT IS EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGED AND
AGREED BY EACH BORROWER THAT THE INDEMNITY (AND/OR THE RELEASE) CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION
8.29 PROTECTS LENDER FROM THE CONSEQUENCES OF LENDER’S ACTS OR OMISSIONS, INCLUDING WITHOUT
LIMITATION, THE NEGLIGENT ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF LENDER TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, THAT NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED TO RELIEVE THE LENDER FROM LIABILITY DUE TO
ITS FRAUD, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE.

     Section 8.30. Borrower Acknowledgments.

          Each Borrower hereby acknowledges to and agrees with Lender that (i) the scope of Lender’s
business is wide and includes, but is not limited to, financing, real estate financing, investment
in real estate and other real estate transactions which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive
with the business of such Borrower or its Affiliates and (ii) such Borrower has been represented by
competent legal counsel and such Borrower has consulted with such counsel prior to executing this
Loan Agreement and of the other Loan Documents.

     Section 8.31. Publicity.

          Lender shall have the right to issue press releases, advertisements and other promotional
materials describing Lender’s participation in the origination of the Loan or the Loan’s inclusion
in any Secondary Market Transaction effectuated or to be effectuated by Lender. All news releases,
publicity or advertising by any Borrower or their affiliates through any media intended to reach
the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan
Documents, to the Lender, Merrill Lynch Mortgage Lending, Inc., or any of their respective
affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender

106

 

and Merrill Lynch Mortgage Lending, Inc., except for disclosures required by law which shall
not require Lender approval but which shall require prior written notice to Lender.

     Section 8.32. Intentionally omitted.

     Section 8.33. Cross-Collateralization. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any of
the other Loan Documents to the contrary, (a) the Loan and the Indebtedness shall be secured by
each Individual Property, and (b) the Loan and the Indebtedness shall be cross-collateralized and
cross-defaulted with each of the other “Loans” referenced in the Cooperation Agreement and the
indebtedness relating thereto, each as described in and in accordance with the terms of the
Cooperation Agreement.

     Section 8.34. Time of the Essence. Each Borrower and Lender agrees that time is of
the essence with regard to all obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

     Section 8.35. FINAL AGREEMENT. THE WRITTEN LOAN DOCUMENTS TO WHICH THIS NOTICE
RELATES REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE
OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN
ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

Section 8.36. [Intentionally omitted]

     Section 8.37. Joint and Several Liability. Each of the Borrowers shall be jointly and
severally liable for payment of the Indebtedness and performance of all other obligations of
Borrowers (or any of them) under this Agreement and any other Loan Documents.

     Section 8.38. Loan Modification. Borrowers and Lender acknowledge and agree that the
Loan and the security therefore are subject to modification pursuant to and in accordance with the
terms of the Cooperation Agreement.

     Section 8.39. Consent Fees. In the event that Borrower intends to effectuate a
transaction not permitted under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents, in
connection with obtaining the consent of Lender or, if a Secondary Market Transaction has occurred,
any loan servicer, Borrower shall be required to pay to Lender or any such loan servicer a maximum
fee of $10,000 plus any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Lender or such loan
servicer, as the case may be.

     Section 8.40. Insurance, Casualty and Condemnation Provisions. Notwithstanding
anything herein or in any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, with respect to each
Marriott Property, so long as (a) Marriott is Manager of such Marriott Property, (b) Borrower
participates in Manager’s insurance programs as set forth in the Management Agreement, (c) no
default has occurred and is continuing under any Management Agreement beyond the expiration of any
applicable notice and cure periods, and (d) Manager is making all required insurance payments as
and when due pursuant to each Management Agreement, Borrower shall not be required to make escrow
payments relating to insurance matters to the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-Account hereunder. With
respect to each Marriott Property, so long as (x) Marriott is Manager of such Marriott Property,
(y) Borrower participates in Manager’s insurance programs as set forth

107

 

in the Management Agreement, (z) no default has occurred and is continuing under any
Management Agreement beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods, Borrower
shall strictly enforce the insurance, casualty and condemnation requirements and obligations set
forth in the Manager’s Subordination, and shall provide to Lender acceptable evidence that such
insurance is, at all times, in full force and effect as regards to such Marriott Property.
Notwithstanding anything herein or in any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, with respect
to each Marriott Property, unless and until Marriott is no longer Manager of such Marriott Property
pursuant to the terms and provisions of the applicable Management Agreement, Lender acknowledges
and agrees that the insurance, casualty and condemnation requirements set forth in the applicable
Manager’s Subordination shall govern and control over any inconsistent provisions set forth in the
provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. If at any time Marriott is no
longer Manager of any Marriott Property pursuant to the terms and provisions of the applicable
Management Agreement, Borrower shall comply with all of the insurance, casualty and condemnation
requirements and obligations set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents with
respect to such Individual Property.

     Section 8.41. Assumption by New Borrowers; Release of Original Borrowers. Each
Borrower that was not a party to the Original Loan Agreement hereby assumes all of the rights,
duties, obligations and liabilities of a “Borrower” with respect to the Loan and the Loan
Documents, and agrees to be bound by all such Loan Documents. Each Original Borrower that is not a
“Borrower” hereunder is hereby released from any duties, obligations or liabilities with respect to
the Loan accruing from and after the date hereof.

     Section 8.42. Origination of Loan; Payments Made. The Original Loan was made by
Lender on June 17, 2005. The Loan represents a restructuring of the Original Loan, and this
Agreement reflects the terms and conditions of the Loan as restructured. Prior to this Agreement,
monthly payments of interest only on the Original Loan that were due and payable on the Payment
Dates (as defined in the Original Loan Agreement) in August, September and October, 2005, pursuant
to the terms of the Original Loan Agreement and the promissory note relating thereto, were paid in
full.
