SUPERTEL LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Virginia limited partnership (“Borrower”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to GENERAL ELECTRIC CAPITAL CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Lender”), whose address is 8377 East Hartford Drive, Suite 200, Scottsdale, Arizona 85255, or order, on or before September 1, 2016 (the “Maturity Date”), the principal sum of $17,850,000.00 (“Loan Amount”), as herein provided. Initially capitalized terms which are not otherwise defined in this Note shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Loan Agreement dated as of the date of this Note between Borrower and Lender, as such agreement may be amended, restated and/or supplemented from time to time (the “Loan Agreement”).

In addition, the following terms shall have the following meanings for all purposes of this Note.

“Adjustable Rate” means an annual interest rate equal to the sum of the Adjustable Rate Basis plus 1.70%.

“Adjustable Rate Basis” means, for any Interest Period, the annual interest rate (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100th of one percent) equal to the three month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) on the Adjustable Rate Reset Date as published in The Wall Street Journal. If for any reason such rate is no longer published in The Wall Street Journal, Lender shall select such replacement index as Lender in its sole discretion determines most closely approximates such rate.

“Adjustable Rate Reset Date” means the last Business Day of each calendar month, prior to the next Interest Period.

“Interest Period” means (a) initially, the period beginning on the date of this Note and ending on the last day of the calendar month in which such date occurs, and (b) thereafter, the period beginning on the first day of the calendar month and ending on the last day of such calendar month.

“Payment Period” means (a) initially, the twelve-month period beginning on the First Payment Date and ending on the day immediately prior to the first Payment Reset Date, and (b) thereafter, the twelve-month period beginning on each Payment Reset Date and ending on the day immediately prior to the next Payment Reset Date.

“Payment Reset Calculation” means the level monthly payment calculated by the full amortization of the outstanding principal amount of this Note on the Payment Reset Date at the Adjustable Rate (with the definition of “Adjustable Rate Reset Date” defined to mean the last Business Day of the calendar month two months prior to the next Payment Reset Date) over the remaining originally scheduled term of this Note.

Borrower shall pay interest on the outstanding principal amount of this Note at the Adjustable Rate, determined monthly as described above, on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed, in arrears, provided, that, interest on the principal amount of this Note for the period commencing with the date such principal amount is advanced by Lender through the last day in the month in which this Note is dated shall be due and payable upon delivery of this Note.

Commencing on the First Payment Date until and including September 1, 2008, Borrower shall pay consecutive monthly installments on the first day of each calendar month of interest only at the Adjustable Rate in lawful money of the United States. Commencing on October 1, 2008 until and including September 1, 2009, Borrower shall pay consecutive monthly installments of interest on the Loan Amount at the Adjustable Rate and principal payments equal to one-twelfth of one percent (1%) of the Loan Amount. Commencing on October 1, 2009 until the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay consecutive monthly installments of principal and interest at the Adjustable Rate in arrears on the first day of each calendar month amortized over the Amortization Period. The monthly installments shall be level during a Payment Period. The monthly payments for the Payment Period shall be in equal amounts until the Payment Reset Date, at which time, and on each succeeding Payment Reset Date thereafter, the level monthly payment to be paid by Borrower shall be adjusted for the next succeeding Payment Period based on the Payment Reset Calculation. All outstanding principal and unpaid accrued interest shall be paid on the Maturity Date.

Upon execution of this Note, Borrower shall authorize Lender to establish arrangements whereby all payments of principal and interest hereunder are transferred by Automated Clearing House Debit initiated by Lender directly from an account at a U.S. bank in the name of Borrower to an account designated by Lender. Each payment of principal and interest hereunder shall be applied first toward any past due payments under this Note (including payment of all Costs (as herein defined), then to accrued interest at the Adjustable Rate, and the balance, after the payment of such accrued interest, if any, shall be applied to the unpaid principal balance of this Note; provided, however, each payment hereunder after an Event of Default has occurred under this Note shall be applied as Lender in its sole discretion may determine. After application of any monthly payment in the above manner, in the event that the outstanding principal amount of this Note exceeds 110% of the original principal balance of this Note, Borrower shall prepay, without premium or penalty, on the first day of the next succeeding calendar month after each such occurrence, a principal amount equal to the difference between the outstanding principal balance of this Note and the original principal balance of this Note (the “Negative Amortization Amount”). Lender shall notify Borrower in writing on or before the twenty-fifth day of each calendar month during the term of this Note of Lender’s determination of the Negative Amortization Amount, if any, payable on the first day of the next succeeding calendar month. Lender shall also notify Borrower in writing on or before the twenty-fifth day of the calendar month prior to the next Payment Reset Date during the term of this Note of Lender’s determination of the level monthly payment to be paid by Borrower based on the Payment Reset Calculation for the next Payment Period.

Provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall have an option (the “Conversion Option”), exercisable only once between the seventh (7th) and thirty-sixth (36th) month following the Closing Date, to convert the interest rate accruing under this Note (the “Conversion”) from the Adjustable Rate to a fixed rate of interest (the “Base Interest Rate”). Borrower shall exercise the Conversion Option by providing Lender written notice of Borrower’s election (the “Conversion Notice”). The Conversion shall be deemed effective on the

first day of the second calendar month following delivery of the Conversion Notice to Lender (the “Conversion Date”), and this Note shall be deemed modified as of the Conversion Date to reflect the Conversion. Lender shall notify Borrower ten (10) days following delivery of Conversion Notice of the Base Interest Rate, which Base Interest Rate shall be equal to the seven (7) year weekly U.S. Dollar Interest Rate Swap (as published in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15[519] http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/H15/) plus 1.98%. From and after the Conversion Date, fixed equal monthly payments, based on the amortization of the outstanding principal amount of this Note as of the Conversion Date (including any accrued interest at the Adjustable Rate) over the period from and after the Conversion Date until the Maturity Date at the Base Interest Rate shall be due and payable commencing on the first day of the calendar month following the month in which the Conversion Date occurs and continuing on the first day of each month thereafter until the Maturity Date, at which time the outstanding principal balance of this Note and unpaid interest accrued at the Base Interest Rate shall be due and payable. Lender shall provide Borrower with an amortization schedule setting forth the principal and interest payments due under this Note from and after the Conversion Date, and such amortization schedule shall be prima facie evidence of such principal and interest payments.

Borrower may prepay this Note in full, but not in part (except as otherwise set forth below), including all accrued but unpaid interest hereunder and all sums advanced by Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents and any Other Agreements, provided that (a) no Event of Default has occurred under any of the Loan Documents or any Other Agreements and is continuing, and (b) any such prepayment shall only be made on a regularly scheduled payment date upon not less than 30 days prior written notice from Borrower to Lender.

Except as otherwise set forth herein, while the Note is at the Adjustable Rate, any such prepayment shall be made together with payment of a prepayment premium equal to:

(a) 2% of the principal amount prepaid if the prepayment is made on or following the date of this Note but prior to the first anniversary of the date of this Note; or

(b) 1% of the principal amount prepaid if the prepayment is made on or following the first anniversary of the date of this Note but prior to the second anniversary of the date of this Note.

Except as otherwise set forth herein, from and after the Conversion Date, any such prepayment shall be made together with payment of an amount equal to the sum of:

(b) a prepayment premium equal to the positive difference (if any) between (i) the present value of the stream of monthly principal and interest payments due under this Note from the date of such prepayment through the scheduled Maturity Date (the “Remaining Scheduled Term”), calculated using the interpolated yield, at the time of such prepayment, of the two U.S. Dollar Interest Rate Swaps (as published in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15[519]) whose terms most closely match the Remaining Scheduled Term, and (ii) the present value of the stream of monthly principal and interest payments due under this Note from the date of such prepayment through the scheduled Maturity Date, calculated using the interpolated yield, as of the Conversion Date, of the two U.S. Dollar Interest Rate Swaps whose terms most closely match the term commencing on the Conversion Date and ending on the scheduled Maturity Date.

The foregoing prepayment fee and prepayment premium, as applicable, shall be due and payable regardless of whether such prepayment is the result of a voluntary prepayment by Borrower or as a result of Lender declaring the unpaid principal balance of this Note, accrued interest and all other sums due under this Note, the Mortgage, the other Loan Documents, and any Other Agreements, due and payable as contemplated below; provided, however, the prohibition on a partial prepayment and the prepayment fee and the prepayment premium, as applicable, shall not be applicable with respect to a prepayment of this Note in connection with an application of condemnation proceeds as contemplated by the Mortgage or if exception is otherwise made in the Loan Documents.

This Note is secured by the Mortgage, five Deeds to Secure Debt and the other Loan Documents. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note, accrued interest, if any, and all other sums due under this Note and any Loan Documents or Other Agreements due and payable at once without notice to Borrower. All past-due principal and/or interest shall bear interest from the due date to the date of actual payment at a rate (the “Default Rate”) equal to the lesser of (a) the highest rate for which the undersigned may legally contract or (b) the greater of 14% and the rate which is 6% per annum above the Adjustable Rate (or 14% per annum in the event the Conversion Option has been exercised), and such Default Rate shall continue to apply following a judgment in favor of Lender under this Note. If Borrower fails to make any payment or installment due under this Note within five days of its due date, Borrower shall pay to Lender, in addition to any other sum due Lender under this Note or any other Loan Document, a late charge equal to 5% of such past-due payment or installment (the “Late Charge”), which Late Charge is a reasonable estimate of the loss that may be sustained by Lender due to the failure of Borrower to make timely payments. All payments of principal and interest due hereunder shall be made (a) without deduction of any present and future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, which amounts shall be paid by Borrower, and (b) without any other right of abatement, reduction, setoff, defense, counterclaim, interruption, deferment or recoupment for any reason whatsoever. Borrower will pay the amounts necessary such that the gross amount of the principal and interest received by Lender is not less than that required by this Note.

No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any remedy, right or option under this Note shall operate as a waiver of such remedy, right or option. In any event, a waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a waiver or bar to any such remedy, right or option on a future occasion. Borrower hereby waives presentment, demand for payment, notice of dishonor, notice of protest, and protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration and all other notices or demands in connection with delivery, acceptance, performance, default or endorsement of this Note. All notices, consents, approvals or other instruments required or permitted to be given by either party pursuant to this Note shall be given in accordance with the notice provisions in the Loan Agreement. Should any indebtedness represented by this Note be collected at law or in equity, or in bankruptcy or other proceedings, or should this Note be placed in the hands of attorneys for collection after default, Borrower shall pay, in addition to the principal and interest due and payable hereon, all costs of collecting or attempting to collect this Note (the “Costs”), including reasonable outside attorneys’ fees and expenses of Lender (including those fees and expenses incurred in connection with any appeal) and court costs whether or not a judicial action is commenced by Lender. This Note may not be amended or modified except by a written agreement duly executed by the party against whom enforcement of this Note is sought. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Note shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Note, and this Note shall be construed as if such provision had never been contained herein or therein. Time is of the essence in the performance of each and every obligation under this Note.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any of the Loan Documents, the obligations of Borrower to Lender under this Note and any other Loan Documents are subject to the limitation that payments of interest and late charges to Lender shall not be required to the extent that receipt of any such payment by Lender would be contrary to provisions of applicable law limiting the maximum rate of interest that may be charged or collected by Lender. The portion of any such payment received by Lender that is in excess of the maximum interest permitted by such provisions of law shall be credited to the principal balance of this Note or if such excess portion exceeds the outstanding principal balance of this Note, then such excess portion shall be refunded to Borrower. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and/or spread throughout the full term of this Note (including, without limitation, the period of any renewal or extension thereof) so that interest for such full term shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law.

This obligation shall bind Borrower and its successors and assigns, and the benefits hereof shall inure to Lender and its successors and assigns.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower has executed and delivered this Note effective as of the date first set forth above.

Without limiting the terms and conditions of Section 3.09 of the Mortgage, Borrower agrees that, from and after the Closing Date and until all of the Obligations are satisfied in full, without the prior written consent of Lender: (1) no Change of Control shall occur; and (2) no interest in any of the Borrower Parties shall be pledged, encumbered, hypothecated or assigned as collateral for any obligation of any of the Borrower Parties (each, a “Pledge”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, individual stockholders or limited partners of the Borrower Parties may pledge their interests in the Borrower Parties so long as such pledge does not, or could not potentially, result in a Change of Control or a change in ownership of a majority interest in the Borrower Parties.

8. Transaction Characterization. A. It is the intent of the parties hereto that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are a contract to extend a financial accommodation (as such term is used in the Code) for the benefit of Borrower and that the Loan Documents evidence one unitary, unseverable transaction pertaining to the Premises.

B. It is the intent of the parties hereto that the business relationship created by the Loan Documents is solely that of creditor and debtor and has been entered into by both parties in reliance upon the economic and legal bargains contained in the Loan Documents. None of the agreements contained in the Loan Documents is intended, nor shall the same be deemed or construed, to create a partnership (either de jure or de facto) between Borrower and Lender, to make them joint venturers, to make Borrower an agent, legal representative, partner, subsidiary or employee of Lender, nor to make Lender in any way responsible for the debts, obligations or losses of Borrower.

9. Default and Remedies. A. Each of the following shall be deemed an event of default by Borrower (each, an “Event of Default”):

(1) If any representation or warranty of any of the Borrower Parties set forth in any of the Loan Documents is false in any material respect when made, or if any of the Borrower Parties renders any statement or account which is false in any material respect.

(2) If any principal, interest or other monetary sum due under the Note, the Mortgage or any other Loan Document is not paid within five days after the date when due; provided, however, notwithstanding the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender shall not be entitled to exercise its rights and remedies set forth below unless and until Lender shall have given Borrower notice thereof and a period of five days from the delivery of such notice shall have elapsed without such Event of Default being cured.

(3) If Borrower fails to observe or perform any of the other covenants, conditions, or obligations of this Agreement (except with respect to a breach of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, which breach is addressed in subitem (7) below); provided, however, if any such failure does not involve the payment of any monetary sum, is not willful or intentional, does not place any rights or interest in collateral of Lender in immediate jeopardy, and is within the reasonable power of Borrower to promptly cure after receipt of notice thereof, all as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion, then such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, unless and until Lender shall have given Borrower notice thereof and a period of 30 days shall have elapsed, during which period Borrower may correct or cure such failure, upon failure of which an Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred hereunder without further notice or demand of any kind being required. If such failure cannot reasonably be cured within such 30-day period, as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion, and Borrower is diligently pursuing a cure of such failure, then Borrower shall have a reasonable period to cure such failure beyond such 30-day period, which shall not exceed 90 days after receiving notice of the failure from Lender. If Borrower shall fail to correct or cure such failure within such 90-day period, an Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred hereunder without further notice or demand of any kind being required.

(4) If any of the Borrower Parties becomes insolvent within the meaning of the Code, files or notifies Lender that it intends to file a petition under the Code, initiates a proceeding under any similar law or statute relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, winding up or adjustment of debts (collectively, an “Action”), becomes the subject of either a petition under the Code or an Action, or is not generally paying its debts as the same become due.

(5) If there is an “Event of Default” or a breach or default, after the passage of all applicable notice and cure or grace periods, under the Lease, any of the Other Agreements, or any other Loan Document.

(6) If a final, nonappealable judgment is rendered by a court against any of the Borrower Parties which (a) has a Material Adverse Effect on the operation of the Premises as a Permitted Concept, or (b) is in an amount greater than $100,000.00 and not covered by insurance, and, in either case, is not discharged or provision made for such discharge within 60 days from the date of entry of such judgment.

(7) If there is a breach of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio requirement and Lender shall have given Borrower notice thereof and Borrower shall have failed within a period of 30 days from the delivery of such notice to (a) pay to Lender the FCCR Amount (without premium or penalty), (b) prepay the Note in whole but not in part (without premium or penalty) or (c) notify Lender of Borrower’s election to substitute a Substitute Premises for the Premises in accordance with the terms of Section 11 (the failure of Borrower to complete such substitution within 60 days after Lender shall have given the notice discussed above shall be deemed to be an Event of Default without further notice or demand of any kind being required). For purposes of the preceding sentence, “FCCR Amount” means that sum of money which, when subtracted from the outstanding principal amount of the Note , and assuming the resulting principal balance is reamortized in equal monthly payments over the remaining term of the Note at the rate of interest set forth therein, will result in an adjusted Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Premises of at least 1.3:1 prior to dividend payouts and 1.1:1 after dividend payouts, based on the prior year’s operations. Promptly after Borrower’s payment of the FCCR Amount, Borrower and Lender shall execute an amendment to the Note in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender reducing the principal amount payable to Lender under the Note and reamortizing the principal amount of the Note in equal monthly payments over the then remaining term of the Note at the rate of interest set forth therein.

(8) If there is a breach or default, after the passage of all applicable notice and cure or grace periods, under the Management Agreement, or if the Management Agreement terminates or expires prior to the payment in full of the Note in accordance with its terms and a substitute agreement for the terminated or expired agreement is not entered into with Manager prior to such expiration or termination, which substitute agreement shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and shall expire after the scheduled maturity date of the Note.

B. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to the limitations set forth in subsection A, Lender may declare all or any part of the obligations of Borrower under the Note, this Agreement and any other Loan Document to be due and payable, and the same shall thereupon become due and payable without any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind except as otherwise expressly provided herein, and Borrower hereby waives notice of intent to accelerate the obligations secured by the Mortgage and notice of acceleration. Thereafter, Lender may exercise, at its option, concurrently, successively or in any combination, all remedies available at law or in equity, including without limitation any one or more of the remedies available under the Note, the Mortgage or any other Loan Document. Neither the acceptance of this Agreement nor its enforcement shall prejudice or in any manner affect Lender’s right to realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by Lender, it being agreed that Lender shall be entitled to enforce this Agreement and any other security now or hereafter held by Lender in such order and manner as it may in its absolute discretion determine. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Lender is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.

(2) Borrower must provide for the substitution of a Substitute Premises, and the proposed Substitute Premises must: (a) be a Permitted Concept, in good condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted; (b) have for the twelve month period preceding the date of the closing of such substitution a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (with the definitions of Section 6.J being deemed to be modified if necessary and as applicable to provide for a calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Premises on an individual basis rather than on an aggregate basis with other properties) at least equal to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Premises being replaced and the substitution must cure the breach of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio requirement, to the extent that there is one; (c) be owned in fee simple by Borrower; (d) Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the proposed Substitute Premises shall be free and clear of all liens, restrictions, easements and encumbrances, except such matters as are acceptable to Lender (the “Substitute Premises Permitted Exceptions”); (e) have a fair market value no less than the greater of the then fair market value of the Premises or the fair market value of the Premises as of the Closing, all as reasonably determined by Lender’s in-house inspectors and underwriters.

(3) Lender shall have inspected and approved the Substitute Premises utilizing such site inspection and underwriting approval criteria that would be used by a prudent institutional mortgage loan lender. Borrower shall have paid all costs and expenses resulting from such proposed substitution, including, without limitation, the cost of title insurance premiums and all endorsements required by Lender, survey charges, UCC and litigation search charges, the attorneys’ fees of Borrower, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of Lender, the cost of the environmental due diligence undertaken pursuant to subsection (6) below, including, without limitation, Lender’s site inspection costs and fees, stamp taxes, mortgage taxes, transfer fees, escrow, filing and recording fees and UCC filing and recording fees (including preparation, filing and recording fees for UCC continuation statements).

particular property by means of a mortgagee’s ALTA extended coverage policy of title insurance (or its equivalent, in the event such form is not issued in the jurisdiction where the proposed Substitute Premises is located) for the proposed Substitute Premises issued by Title Company showing Borrower vested with good and marketable title in the real property comprising the Substitute Premises and committing to insure Lender’s first priority lien upon and security interest in the proposed Substitute Premises, subject only to the Substitute Premises Permitted Exceptions and containing endorsements substantially comparable to those required by Lender at the Closing.

(5) Lender shall have received a current ALTA survey of such proposed Substitute Premises or its equivalent, the form of which shall be comparable to those received by Lender at the Closing and sufficient to cause the standard survey exceptions set forth in the title policy referred to in the preceding subsection to be deleted, and disclosing no matters other than the Substitute Premises Permitted Exceptions.

If the Loan is part of a Securitization, such opinions shall include, without limitation, an opinion of counsel to the rating agencies which have issued ratings in connection with such Securitization that the substitution does not constitute a “significant modification” of such Loan under Section 1001 of the Internal Revenue Code or otherwise cause a tax to be imposed on a “prohibited transaction” by any REMIC Trust.

(8) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under any of the Loan Documents.

(9) The Borrower Parties shall have executed such documents as are comparable to the security documents executed and delivered at Closing, as applicable (but with such revisions as may be reasonably required by Lender to address matters unique to the Substitute Premises) or amendments to such documents, including, without limitation, a Mortgage, Guaranty and UCC-1 Financing Statements (the “Substitute Documents”), to provide Lender with a first priority lien on the proposed Substitute Premises, subject only to the Substitute Premises Permitted Exceptions, and all other rights, remedies and benefits with respect to the proposed Substitute Premises which Lender holds in the Premises to be replaced, all of which documents shall be in a form and substance which would be satisfactory to a prudent institutional mortgage loan lender.

(10) The representations and warranties set forth in the Substitute Documents and Section 5 of this Agreement applicable to the proposed Substitute Premises shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of substitution, and Borrower shall have delivered to Lender an officer’s certificate to that effect.

(11) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender certificates of insurance and insurance policies showing that all insurance required by the Substitute Documents is in full force and effect.

In addition to any covenants of Grantor set forth in the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, Grantor hereby covenants to Grantee and agrees as follows until the Obligations are satisfied in full:

Section 3.01. Recording. Grantor shall, upon the execution and delivery hereof and thereafter from time to time, take such actions as Grantee may reasonably request to cause this Deed to Secure Debt, each supplement and amendment to such instrument and financing statements with respect thereto and each instrument of further assurance (collectively, the “Recordable Documents”), to be filed, registered and recorded as may be required by law to publish notice and maintain the first lien or security interest, as applicable, hereof upon the Deed Estate and to publish notice of and protect the validity of the Recordable Documents.

Grantee shall be and is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney-in-fact of Grantor to comply therewith (including the execution, delivery and filing of such financing statements and other instruments), which appointment is coupled with an interest; provided, however, Grantee shall not exercise such power of attorney unless Grantor has first failed to comply with this Section, and provided, further, that this sentence shall not prevent any default in the observance of this Section from constituting an Event of Default. To the extent permitted by law, Grantor shall pay or cause to be paid recording taxes and fees incident thereto and all expenses, taxes and other governmental charges incident to or in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery or acknowledgment of the Recordable Documents, any instruments of further assurance and the Note.

Section 3.02. Use; Maintenance and Repair; Leases. (a) The Deed Estate shall be used solely for the operation of a Permitted Concept and for no other purpose. Except as set forth below, and except during periods when the Premises is untenantable by reason of fire or other casualty or condemnation (provided, however, during all such periods while the Premises is untenantable, Grantor shall strictly comply with the terms and conditions of Section 4.01 of this Deed to Secure Debt), Grantor shall at all times while this Deed to Secure Debt is in effect occupy the Deed Estate, or cause Lessee or Manager to occupy the Deed Estate, and diligently operate its business, or cause Lessee or Manager to diligently operate its business, on the Deed Estate. Grantor may cease (or allow Lessee or Manager to cease) diligent operation of business at the Deed Estate for a period not to exceed 90 days and may do so only once within any five-year period while this Deed to Secure Debt is in effect. If Grantor, Lessee or Manager does discontinue operation as permitted by this Section, Grantor shall (i) give written notice to Grantee within 10 days after Grantor, Lessee or Manager elects to cease operation, (ii) provide adequate protection and maintenance of the Deed Estate during any period of vacancy and (iii) pay all costs necessary to restore the Deed

Estate to its condition on the day operation of the business ceased at such time as the Deed Estate is reopened for Grantor’s, Lessee’s or Manager’s business operations or other substituted use. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Grantor shall pay monthly the principal and interest due under the Note during any period in which Grantor, Lessee or Manager discontinues operation.

Grantor shall not, and shall not permit any tenant to, by itself or through any lease or other type of transfer, convert the Premises to an alternative use while this Deed to Secure Debt is in effect without Grantee’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Grantee may consider any or all of the following in determining whether to grant its consent, without being deemed to be unreasonable: (i) whether the converted use will be consistent with the highest and best use of the Deed Estate, and (ii) whether the converted use will increase Grantee’s risks or decrease the value of the Deed Estate.

(b) Grantor shall or shall cause Lessee to, (i) maintain the Deed Estate in good condition and repair, subject to reasonable and ordinary wear and tear, free from actual or constructive waste, (ii) operate, remodel, update and modernize the Deed Estate in accordance with Grantor’s past practices for Permitted Concepts, and (iii) pay all operating costs of the Premises in the ordinary course of business. Grantor shall not do or allow any tenant or other user of the Premises to do any act that (1) materially increases the dangers to human health or the environment, (2) poses an unreasonable risk of harm to any person or entity (whether on or off the Premises), (3) impairs or is reasonably likely to impair in any material respect the value of the Premises, (4) is contrary to any requirement of any insurer, or (5) violates in any material respect any covenant, condition, agreement or easement applicable to the Premises.

(c) Grantor shall not, and shall not permit Lessee or Manager to, (i) enter into any Leases (other than the Permitted Lease and room rentals in the ordinary course of business) without Grantee’s prior written consent; (ii) materially modify or amend the terms of any Lease without Grantee’s prior written consent; (iii) grant any material consents under any Lease, including, without limitation, any consent to an assignment of any Lease, a mortgaging of the leasehold estate created by any Lease or a subletting by the tenant under any Lease (except room rentals in the ordinary course of business), without Grantee’s prior written consent; (iv) terminate, cancel, surrender, or accept the surrender of, any Lease, or waive or release any person from the observance or performance of any obligation to be performed under the terms of any Lease or liability on account of any warranty given thereunder, without Grantee’s prior written consent; or (v) assign, transfer, mortgage, pledge or hypothecate any Lease or any interest therein to any party other than Grantee, without Grantee’s prior written consent. Any lease, modification, amendment, grant, termination, cancellation, surrender, waiver or release in violation of the foregoing provision shall be null and void and of no force and effect. Unless Grantee otherwise consents or elects, Grantor’s title to the Deed Estate and the leasehold interest in the Deed Estate created by any Lease shall not merge, but shall always be kept separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of such estates in Grantor, Grantee or any other person by purchase, operation of law, foreclosure of this Deed to Secure Debt, sale of the Deed Estate pursuant to this Deed to Secure Debt or otherwise.

(d) Grantor shall (i) fulfill, perform and observe in all material respects each and every condition and covenant of Grantor contained in any Lease; (ii) give prompt notice to Grantee of any claim or event of default under any Lease given to or by Grantor, together with a complete copy or statement of any information submitted or referenced in support of such claim or event of default; (iii) at the sole cost and expense of Grantor, enforce the performance and

observance of each and every covenant and condition of any Lease to be performed or observed by any other party thereto, unless such enforcement is waived in writing by Grantee; (iv) appear in and defend any action challenging the validity, enforceability or priority of the lien created hereby or the validity or enforceability of any Lease; and (v) hold that portion of the Rents which is sufficient to discharge all current sums due under the Note for use in the payment of such sums.

Section 3.03. Alterations and Improvements. Grantor shall not alter, or permit Lessee or Manager to alter, the exterior, structural, plumbing or electrical elements of the Deed Estate in any manner without the consent of Grantee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned; provided, however, Grantor or Lessee may undertake nonstructural alterations to the Deed Estate costing less than $100,000 without Grantee’s consent. For purposes of this Deed to Secure Debt, alterations to the exterior, structural, plumbing or electrical elements of the Deed Estate shall mean:

(a) alterations which affect the foundation or “footprint” of the Improvements;

(b) alterations which involve the structural elements of the Improvements, such as a load-bearing wall, structural beams, columns, supports or roof; or

(c) alterations which materially affect any of the building systems, including, without limitation, the electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC and fire and safety systems.

If Grantee’s consent is required hereunder and Grantee consents to the making of any such alterations, the same shall be made by Grantor, Lessee or Manager at Grantor’s Lessee’s or Manager’s sole expense by a licensed contractor and according to plans and specifications approved by Grantee and subject to such other conditions as Grantee shall reasonably require. Any work at any time commenced on the Deed Estate shall be prosecuted diligently to completion, shall be of good workmanship and materials and shall comply fully with all the terms of this Deed to Secure Debt. Upon completion of any alterations for which Grantee’s consent is required hereunder or any Restoration, Grantor shall promptly provide Grantee with (i) evidence of full payment to all laborers and materialmen contributing to the alterations, (ii) an architect’s certificate certifying the alterations to have been completed in conformity with the plans and specifications, (iii) a certificate of occupancy (if the alterations are of such a nature as would require the issuance of a certificate of occupancy), and (iv) any other documents or information reasonably requested by Grantee.

Section 3.04. After-Acquired Property. All right, title and interest of Grantor in and to all improvements, alterations, substitutions, restorations and replacements of, and all additions and appurtenances to, the Deed Estate, hereafter acquired by or released to Grantor, immediately upon such acquisition or release and without any further granting by Grantor, shall become part of the Deed Estate and shall be subject to the lien hereof fully, completely and with the same effect as though now owned by Grantor and specifically described in the Granting Clauses hereof. Grantor shall execute and deliver to Grantee any further assurances, mortgages, grants, conveyances or assignments thereof as the Grantee may reasonably require to subject the same to the lien hereof.

Section 3.05. Taxes, Assessments, Charges and Other Impositions. (a) Grantor shall do or cause to be done everything necessary to preserve the lien hereof without expense to Grantee, including, without limitation, paying and discharging or causing to be paid and discharged, whether or not payable directly by Grantor or subject to withholding at the source, (i) all taxes, assessments, levies, fees, water and sewer rents and charges and all other governmental charges, general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, and all charges for utility or communications services, which may at any time be assessed, levied or imposed upon Grantor, Lessee, the Deed Estate, this Deed to Secure Debt, the Obligations or the Rents or which may arise in respect of the occupancy, use, possession or operation thereof, (ii) all income, excess profits, sales, gross receipts and other taxes, duties or imposts, whether similar or not in nature, assessed, levied or imposed by any Governmental Authority on Grantor, Lessee, the Deed Estate or the Rents, and (iii) all lawful claims and demands of mechanics, laborers, materialmen and others which, if unpaid, might create a lien on the Deed Estate, or on the Rents, unless Grantor shall contest the amount or validity thereof in accordance with subsection (b).

Section 3.06. Insurance. (a) Grantor shall maintain, or shall cause Lessee or Manager to maintain, with respect to the Deed Estate, at its sole expense, the following types and amounts of insurance (which may be included under a blanket insurance policy if all the other terms hereof are satisfied), in addition to such other insurance as Grantee may reasonably require from time to time:

It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing minimum limits of insurance coverage shall not limit the liability of Grantor for its acts or omissions as provided in this Deed to Secure Debt. All liability insurance policies (with the exception of worker’s compensation insurance to the extent not available under statutory law) shall designate Grantee and its successors and assigns as additional insureds as their interests may appear and shall be payable as set forth in Article IV hereof. All such policies shall be written as primary policies, with deductibles not to exceed $25,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the policy for Wind and Earthquake coverage shall have a deductible not to exceed $250,000. Any other policies, including any policy now or hereafter carried by Grantee, shall serve as excess coverage. Grantor shall procure, or shall cause Lessee or Manager to procure, policies for all insurance for periods of not less than one year and shall provide to Grantee certificates of insurance or, upon Grantee’s request, duplicate originals of insurance policies evidencing that insurance satisfying the requirements of this Deed to Secure Debt is in effect at all times.

Section 3.07. Impound Account. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Deed to Secure Debt or any other Loan Document, Grantee may require Grantor to pay to Grantee sums which will provide an impound account (which shall not be deemed a trust fund) for paying up to the next one year of taxes, assessments and/or insurance premiums. Upon such requirement, Grantee will estimate the amounts needed for such purposes and will notify Grantor to pay the same to Grantee in equal monthly installments, as nearly as practicable, in addition to all other sums due under this Deed to Secure Debt. Should additional funds be required at any time,

Grantor shall pay the same to Grantee on demand. Grantor shall advise Grantee of all taxes and insurance bills which are due and shall cooperate fully with Grantee in assuring that the same are paid. Grantee may deposit all impounded funds in accounts insured by any federal or state agency and may commingle such funds with other funds and accounts of Grantee. Interest or other gains from such funds, if any, shall be the sole property of Grantee. If an Event of Default shall occur subsequent to Grantee requiring the establishment of an impound account pursuant to this Section, Grantee may apply all impounded funds against any sums due from Grantor to Grantee. Grantee shall give to Grantor an annual accounting showing all credits and debits to and from such impounded funds received from Grantor.

Section 3.08. Advances by Grantee. Grantee may make advances to perform any of the covenants contained in this Deed to Secure Debt on Grantor’s behalf and all sums so advanced (and all sums advanced pursuant to any other provision hereof) by Grantee shall be secured hereby. Grantor shall repay on demand all sums so advanced with interest thereon at the Default Rate, such interest to be computed from and including the date of the making of such advance to and including the date of such repayment, and at Grantee’s election, Grantee may add the amount of such advance to the principal balance of the Loan.

Section 3.09. Negative Covenants. Without limiting the terms and conditions of Section 7 of the Loan Agreement, Grantor agrees that Grantor shall not, without the prior written consent of Grantee (each, a “Prohibited Transaction”), sell, convey, mortgage, grant, bargain, encumber, pledge, assign, or otherwise transfer the Deed Estate or any part thereof or permit the Deed Estate or any part thereof to be sold, conveyed, mortgaged, granted, bargained, encumbered, pledged, assigned, or otherwise transferred, other than (a) sales/consumption of inventory in the ordinary course of business, (b) the replacement of obsolete, damaged or worn-out Personal Property, (c) in accordance with Section 7.01 herein, and (d) Permitted Exceptions. A sale, conveyance, mortgage, grant, bargain, encumbrance, pledge, assignment, or transfer within the meaning of this Section shall be deemed to include, but not limited to, (a) an installment sales agreement wherein Grantor agrees to sell the Deed Estate or any part thereof for a price to be paid in installments; and (b) an agreement by Grantor leasing all or any part of the Deed Estate (other than the Permitted Lease and room rentals in the ordinary course of business) or a sale, assignment or other transfer of, or the grant of a security interest in, Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to any Lease or any Rents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, individual stockholders or limited partners of the Grantor Parties may pledge their interests in the Grantor Parties so long as such pledge does not, or could not potentially, result in a Change of Control or a change in ownership of a majority interest in the Grantor Parties.

Grantee’s consent to a Prohibited Transaction shall be subject to the satisfaction of such conditions as Grantee shall determine in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, (i) Grantor having executed and delivered such modifications to the terms of this Deed to Secure Debt and the other Loan Documents as Grantee shall request, (ii) the Prohibited Transaction having been approved by each of the rating agencies which have issued ratings in connection with any Securitization of the Loan as well as any

other rating agency selected by Grantee, and (iii) the proposed transferee having assumed the Note, this Deed to Secure Debt and the other Loan Documents (as modified pursuant to clause (i) above). In addition, any such consent shall be conditioned upon the payment by Grantor to Grantee of (x) a fee equal to one percent (1%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Note and (y) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Grantee in connection with such consent, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees. Grantee shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in order to declare the Obligations immediately due and payable upon Grantor’s sale, conveyance, mortgage, grant, bargain, encumbrance, pledge, assignment, or transfer of the Deed Estate without Grantee’s consent, as required hereunder. The provisions of this Section shall apply to every sale, conveyance, mortgage, grant, bargain, encumbrance, pledge, assignment, or transfer of the Deed Estate regardless of whether voluntary or not, or whether or not Grantee has consented to any previous sale, conveyance, mortgage, grant, bargain, encumbrance, pledge, assignment, or transfer of the Deed Estate.

Section 4.01. Casualty or Condemnation. Grantor, immediately upon obtaining knowledge of any casualty to any portion of the Deed Estate or of any proceeding or negotiation for the taking of all or any portion of the Deed Estate in condemnation or other eminent domain proceedings, shall notify Grantee of such casualty, proceeding or negotiation. Any award, compensation or other payment resulting from such casualty or condemnation or eminent domain proceeding, as applicable, shall be applied as set forth below (the “Proceeds”). Grantee may participate in any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding, and Grantor will deliver or cause to be delivered to Grantee all instruments reasonably requested by Grantee to permit such participation.

Grantee may deposit any funds held by it in accounts insured by any federal or state agency and may commingle such funds with other funds and accounts of Grantee.

Section 4.02. Conveyance in Anticipation of Condemnation, Granting of Easements, Etc. If no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Grantor may, from time to time with respect to its interest in the Deed Estate, and with Grantee’s prior written consent, (i) sell, assign, convey or otherwise transfer any interest therein to any person legally empowered to take such interest under the power of eminent domain, (ii) grant easements and other rights in the nature of easements, (iii) release existing easements or other rights in the nature of easements which are for the benefit of the Deed Estate, (iv) dedicate or transfer unimproved portions of the Deed Estate for road, highway or other public purposes, (v) execute petitions to have the Deed Estate annexed to any municipal corporation or utility district, and (vi) execute and deliver to any person any instrument appropriate to confirm or effect such grants, releases, dedications and transfers.

Section 4.03. Grantee’s Power. At any time, or from time to time, without liability therefor, Grantee, without affecting the personal liability of any person for payment of the Obligations or the effect of this Deed to Secure Debt upon the remainder of said Deed Estate, may from time to time without notice (i) release any part of said Deed Estate, (ii) consent in writing to the making of any map or plat thereof, (iii) join in granting any easement thereon, (iv) join in any extension agreement or any agreement subordinating the lien or charge hereof, (v) release any person so liable, (vi) extend the maturity or alter any of the terms of any Obligations, (vii) grant other indulgences, (viii) take or release any other or additional security for any Obligations, (ix) make compositions or other arrangements with debtors in relation thereto, or (x) advance additional funds to protect the security hereof or to pay or discharge the Obligations in the event Grantor fails to do so, and all amounts so advanced shall be secured hereby and shall be due and payable upon demand by Grantee.

Section 5.01. Security Agreement. With respect to the Personal Property or any portion of the Deed Estate which constitutes fixtures or other property governed by the UCC, this Deed to Secure Debt shall constitute a security agreement between Grantor, as the debtor, and Grantee, as the secured party, and Grantor hereby grants to Grantee a security interest in such portion of the Deed Estate. Cumulative of all other rights of Grantee hereunder, Grantee shall have all of the rights conferred upon secured parties by the UCC. Grantor authorizes Grantee to file financing statements with respect to the security interest of Grantee, continuation statements with respect thereto, and any amendments to such financing statements which may be necessitated by reason of any of the changes described in Section 6.C of the Loan Agreement. Furthermore, at any time, and from time to time, Grantor will execute and deliver to Grantee all financing statements that may from time to time be required by Grantee to establish and maintain the validity and priority of the security interest of Grantee, or any modification thereof. Grantee may exercise any or all of the remedies of a secured party available to it under the UCC with respect to such property. If, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Grantee proceeds to dispose of such property in accordance with the provisions of the UCC, 10 days’ notice by Grantee to Grantor shall be deemed to be reasonable notice under any provision of the UCC requiring such notice; provided, however, that Grantee may at its option dispose of such property in accordance with Grantee’s rights and remedies with respect to the real property pursuant to the provisions of this Deed to Secure Debt, in lieu of proceeding under the UCC. Grantor represents that its exact legal name and state of formation or organization are as set forth in the first paragraph of this Deed to Secure Debt. Grantor agrees that, notwithstanding any provision in the UCC to the contrary, Grantor shall not file a termination statement of any financing statement filed by Grantee in connection with any security interest granted under this Deed to Secure Debt if Grantee reasonably objects to the filing of such termination statement.

Section 5.02. Effective as a Financing Statement and Fixture Filing. This Deed to Secure Debt shall be effective as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing with respect to all fixtures included within the Deed Estate and is to be filed for record in the real estate records of each county where any part of the Deed Estate (including said fixtures) is situated. This Deed to Secure Debt shall also be effective as a financing statement covering any other portion of the Deed Estate and may be filed in any other appropriate filing or recording office. The mailing address of Grantor is the address of Grantor set forth in the introductory paragraph of this Deed to Secure Debt, and the address of the Grantee from which information concerning the security interests hereunder may be obtained is the address of Grantee as set forth in the introductory paragraph of this Deed to Secure Debt. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Deed to Secure Debt or of any financing statement relating to this Deed to Secure Debt shall be sufficient as a financing statement for any of the purposes referred to in this Section.

Information concerning the security interest created by this instrument may be obtained from Grantee, as secured party, at the address of Grantee stated in the introductory paragraph of this Deed to Secure Debt. The mailing address of Grantor, as debtor, is as stated in the introductory paragraph of this Deed to Secure Debt.

Grantor and Grantee agree that the filing of any such financing statement or statements in the records normally having to do with personal property shall not in any way affect the agreement of Grantor and Grantee that the Personal Property at all times and for all purposes and in all proceedings, legal or equitable, shall be, regarded as part of the real estate conveyed hereby regardless of whether (1) any such item is physically attached to the improvements, (2) serial numbers are used for the better identification of certain items capable of being thus identified in an exhibit to this Deed to Secure Debt, or (3) any such item is referred to or reflected in any such financing statement or statements so filed at any time. Similarly, the mention in any such financing statement or statements of the rights in and to (A) the proceeds of any insurance policy, or (B) any award in eminent domain proceedings for a taking or for loss of value, or (C) Grantor’s interest as lessor in any present or future lease or rights to income growing out of any such leases, shall not in any way alter any of the rights of Grantee as determined by this Deed to Secure Debt or affect the priority of Grantee’s security interest granted hereby or by any other recorded document, it being understood and agreed that such mention in such financing statement or statements is solely for the protection of Grantee in the event any court shall at any time hold with respect thereto, that notice of Grantee’s priority of interest, to be effective against all persons or against a particular class of persons, must be filed in the Uniform Commercial Code records.

Grantor warrants that Grantor’s name, identity or corporate structure and residence or principal place of business are set forth herein. Grantor covenants and agrees that Grantor will promptly execute any financing statements or other instruments deemed necessary by Grantee to prevent any filed financing statement from becoming misleading or losing its perfected status.

The mailing address of the “Secured Party” from which information concerning the security interest may be obtained, and the mailing address of “Grantor,” are as set forth herein; and a statement indicating the types, or describing the items, of collateral making up the Deed Estate is set forth hereinabove.

Section 6.01. Events of Default. Each of the following shall be an event of default under this Deed to Secure Debt (each an “Event of Default”):

Section 6.02. Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.01, Grantee may declare all or any part of the Obligations to be due and payable, and the same shall thereupon become due and payable without any presentment, demand, protest or notice (including notice of intent to accelerate and notice of acceleration) of any kind except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Furthermore, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Grantee may:

Section 6.03. Appointment of Receiver. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Grantee, as a matter of right and without notice to Grantor or anyone claiming under Grantor, and without regard to the then value of the Deed Estate or the interest of Grantor therein, or the insolvency of Grantor or the then-owner of the Deed Estate, may seek the appointment of a receiver for the Deed Estate upon ex parte application to any court of competent jurisdiction. Grantor waives any right to any hearing or notice of hearing prior to the appointment of a receiver. Such receiver shall be empowered (a) to take possession of the Deed Estate and any businesses conducted by Grantor thereon and any business assets used in connection therewith, (b) to exclude Grantor and Grantor’s agents, servants and employees from the Deed Estate, or, at the option of the receiver, in lieu of such exclusion, to collect a fair market rental from any such persons occupying any part of the Deed Estate, (c) to collect the Rents, (d) to complete any construction that may be in progress, (e) to continue the development, marketing and sale of the Deed Estate, (f) to do such maintenance and make such repairs and alterations as the receiver deems necessary, (g) to use all stores of materials, supplies and maintenance equipment on the Deed Estate and

replace such items at the expense of the receivership estate, (h) to pay all taxes and assessments against the Deed Estate, all premiums for insurance thereon, all utility and other operating expenses, and all sums due under any prior or subsequent encumbrance, (i) to request that Grantee advance such funds as may reasonably be necessary to the effective exercise of the receiver’s powers, on such terms as may be agreed upon by the receiver and Grantee, but not in excess of the Default Rate, and (j) generally to do anything that Grantor could legally do if Grantor were in possession of the Deed Estate. All expenses incurred by the receiver or his agents, including obligations to repay funds borrowed by the receiver, shall constitute a part of the Obligations. Any revenues collected by the receiver shall be applied first to the expenses of the receivership, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the receiver and by Grantee, together with interest thereon at the highest rate of interest applicable in the Note from the date incurred until repaid, and the balance shall be applied toward the Obligations or in such other manner as the court may direct.

Section 6.04. Remedies Not Exclusive. Grantee shall be entitled to enforce payment and performance of any Obligations and to exercise all rights and powers under this Deed to Secure Debt or under any Loan Documents or Other Agreements or any laws now or hereafter in force, notwithstanding some or all of the Obligations may now or hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by mortgage, deed of trust, pledge, lien, assignment or otherwise. Neither the acceptance of this Deed to Secure Debt nor its enforcement, whether by court action or pursuant to the power of sale or other powers herein contained, shall prejudice or in any manner affect Grantee’s right to realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by Grantee, it being agreed that Grantee shall be entitled to enforce this Deed to Secure Debt and any other security now or hereafter held by Grantee in such order and manner as it may in its absolute discretion determine. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Grantee is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. Every power or remedy given by any of the Loan Documents to Grantee, or to which Grantee may be otherwise entitled, may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Grantee. Grantee may pursue inconsistent remedies.

The acceptance by Grantee of any sum after the same is due shall not constitute a waiver of the right either to require prompt payment, when due, of all other sums hereby secured or to declare a subsequent Event of Default as herein provided. The acceptance by Grantee of any sum in an amount less than the sum then due shall be deemed an acceptance on account only and upon condition that it shall not constitute a waiver of the obligation of Grantor to pay the entire sum then due, and failure of Grantor to pay such entire sum then due shall be an Event of Default, notwithstanding such acceptance of such amount on account, as aforesaid. Grantee shall be, at all times thereafter and until the entire sum then due as contemplated by the Loan Documents shall have been paid, and notwithstanding the acceptance by Grantee thereafter of further sums on account, or otherwise, entitled to exercise all rights in this instrument conferred upon them or either of them, and the right to proceed with a sale under any notice of default, or an election to sell, or the right to exercise any other rights or remedies hereunder, shall in no way be impaired, whether any of such amounts are

received prior or subsequent to such proceeding, election or exercise. Consent by Grantee to any action or inaction of Grantor which is subject to consent or approval of Grantee hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to require such consent or approval to future or successive actions or inactions.

Section 6.05. Possession of Deed Estate. In the event of a trustee’s sale or foreclosure sale hereunder and after the time of such sale, Grantor occupies the portion of the Deed Estate so sold, or any part thereof, Grantor shall immediately become the tenant of the purchaser at such sale, which tenancy shall be a tenancy from day to day, terminable at the will of either tenant or landlord, at a reasonable rental per day based upon the value of the portion of the Deed Estate so occupied, such rental to be due and payable daily to the purchaser. An action of unlawful detainer shall lie if the tenant holds over after a demand in writing for possession of such Deed Estate; and this Deed to Secure Debt and a trustee’s or sheriff’s deed shall constitute a lease and agreement under which the tenant’s possession arose and continued. Nothing contained in this Deed to Secure Debt shall be construed to constitute Grantee as a “mortgagee in possession” in the absence of its taking actual possession of the Deed Estate pursuant to the powers granted herein.

Section 6.06. Waiver of Rights. Grantor waives the benefit of all laws now existing or that hereafter may be enacted (i) providing for any appraisement before sale of any portion of the Deed Estate, or (ii) in any way extending the time for the enforcement of the collection of the Obligations or creating or extending a period of redemption from any sale made in collecting the Obligations. Grantor agrees that Grantor will not at any time insist upon, plea, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, redemption or homestead exemption, and Grantor, for Grantor, Grantor’s representatives, successors and assigns, and for any and all persons ever claiming any interest in the Deed Estate, hereby waives and releases all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, homestead exemption, notice of election to mature or declare due the whole of the Obligations and marshaling in the event of foreclosure of the liens hereby created. If any law referred to in this Section and now in force, of which Grantor, Grantor’s heirs, devisees, representatives, successors and assigns or other person might take advantage despite this Section, shall hereafter be repealed or cease to be in force, such law shall not thereafter be deemed to preclude the application of this Section. Grantor expressly waives and relinquishes any and all rights, remedies and defenses that Grantor may have or be able to assert by reason of the laws of the State pertaining to the rights, remedies and defenses of sureties.

Section 6.07. Relief From Stay. In the event that Grantor commences a case under the Code or is the subject of an involuntary case that results in an order for relief under the Code, subject to court approval, Grantee shall thereupon be entitled and Grantor irrevocably consents to relief from any stay imposed by Section 362 of the Code on or against the exercise of the rights and remedies otherwise available to Grantee as provided in the Loan Documents and Grantor hereby irrevocably waives its rights to object to such relief. In the event Grantor shall commence a case under the Code or is the subject of an involuntary case that results in an order for relief under the

Code, Grantor hereby agrees that no injunctive relief against Grantee shall be sought under Section 105 or other provisions of the Code by Grantor or other person or entity claiming through Grantor, nor shall any extension be sought of the stay provided by Section 362 of the Code.

Section 6.08. Cash Collateral. Grantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that in the event that Grantor commences a case under the Code or is the subject of an involuntary case that results in an order for relief under the Code: (i) that all of the Rents are, and shall for purposes be deemed to be, “proceeds, product, offspring, rents, or profits” of the Premises covered by the lien of this Deed to Secure Debt, as such quoted terms are used in Section 552(b) of the Code; (ii) that in no event shall Grantor assert, claim or contend that any portion of the Rents are, or should be deemed to be, “accounts” or “accounts receivable” within the meaning of the Code and/or applicable state law; (iii) that the Rents are and shall be deemed to be in any such bankruptcy proceeding “cash collateral” of Grantee as that term is defined in Section 363 of the Code; and (iv) that Grantee has valid, effective, perfected, enforceable and “choate” rights in and to the Rents without any further action required on the part of Grantee to enforce or perfect its rights in and to such cash collateral, including, without limitation, providing notice to Grantor under Section 546(b) of the Code.

Section 6.09. Assignment of Rents and Leases. (a) Grantor hereby assigns, transfers, conveys and sets over to Grantee all of Grantor’s estate, right, title and interest in, to and under the Leases, whether existing on the date hereof or hereafter entered into, together with any changes, extensions, revisions or modifications thereof and all rights, powers, privileges, options and other benefits of Grantor as the lessor under the Leases regarding the current tenants and any future tenants, and all the Rents from the Leases, including those now due, past due or to become due. Grantor irrevocably appoints Grantee its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, at the option of Grantee, at any time and from time to time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to take possession and control of the Premises, pursuant to Grantor’s rights under the Leases, to exercise any of Grantor’s rights under the Leases, and to demand, receive and enforce payment, to give receipts, releases and satisfaction and to sue, in the name of Grantor or Grantee, for all of the Rents. The power of attorney granted hereby shall be irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall terminate only upon the payment of all sums due Grantee for all losses, costs, damages, fees and expenses whatsoever associated with the exercise of this power of attorney, and Grantor hereby releases Grantee from all liability (other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Grantee) whatsoever for the exercise of the foregoing power of attorney and all actions taken pursuant thereto. The consideration received by Grantor to execute and deliver this assignment and the liens and security interests created herein is legally sufficient and will provide a direct economic benefit to Grantor. It is intended by Grantor and Grantee that the assignment set forth herein constitutes an absolute assignment and not merely an assignment for additional security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this assignment shall not be construed to bind Grantee to the performance of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of Grantor contained in the Leases or otherwise to impose any obligation upon Grantee, and, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be

continuing, Grantor shall have a license, revocable upon an Event of Default, to possess and control the Premises and collect and receive all Rents. Upon an Event of Default, such license shall be automatically revoked.

Section 7.01. Satisfaction/Partial Release. If and when the Obligations shall have become due and payable (whether by lapse of time or by acceleration or by the exercise of the privilege of prepayment), and Grantor shall pay or cause to be paid (provided such payment is permitted or required by the Note the full amount thereof and shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable by the Grantor Parties to the Grantee Entities with respect to the Obligations, then this Deed to Secure Debt shall be void (otherwise it shall remain in full force and effect in law and equity forever) and Grantee agrees to execute an instrument evidencing the satisfaction of all obligations under this Deed to Secure Debt and releasing this Deed to Secure Debt which shall be prepared and recorded at Grantor’s sole expense. In addition and notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantor may request release of a single property (the “Release Site”) securing the Obligations (“Partial Release”) provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing under the Loan Documents with Grantee or any of its Affiliates, (ii) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Loan Documents) on all remaining properties securing the Obligations exceeds 1.3:1 on an aggregate and individual basis, (iii) the Release Site is being sold by the Grantor in an arms-length transaction, (iv) proceeds from the sale of the Release Site are being used to repay the Obligations assigned to the Release Site, and such payment shall be subject to any applicable prepayment premiums or penalties, (v) Grantor gives at least 30-days prior notice to Grantee, (vi) a minimum of four (4) hotel real property sites remain in the portfolio (in other words, continue to secure the Obligations), (vii) more than nine (9) months have passed since the date of this Deed to Secure Debt, and (viii) the remaining unexpired term of the Loan exceeds six (6) months.

Section 7.02. Limitation of Rights of Others. Nothing in this Deed to Secure Debt is intended or shall be construed to give to any person, other than Grantor and the holder of the Note, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Deed to Secure Debt or any covenant, condition or provision herein contained.

Section 7.03. Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained herein or in the Note shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and this Deed to Secure Debt shall be construed as if such provision had never been contained herein or therein.

Except as in this Deed to Secure Debt otherwise expressly provided, (i) this Deed to Secure Debt may not be modified except by an instrument in writing executed by Grantor and Grantee and (ii) no requirement hereof may be waived at any time except by a writing signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced, nor shall any waiver be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default.

Section 7.05. Successors and Assigns.
