See accompanying notes to unaudited consolidated financial statements. -4- Capital Trust, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) 1. Presentation of Financial Information The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations filed with the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Capital Trust, Inc. and Subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2001. The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform in all material respects to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period classifications. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Derivative Financial Instruments In the normal course of business, the Company uses a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage, or hedge, interest rate risk. The Company requires derivative financial instruments to be effective in reducing its interest rate risk exposure. This effectiveness is essential for qualifying for hedge accounting. When the terms of an underlying transaction are modified, or when the underlying hedged item ceases to exist, all changes in the fair value of the instrument are marked-to-market with changes in value included in net income each period until the derivative instrument matures or is settled. Any derivative instrument used for risk management that does not meet the hedging criteria is marked-to-market each period. The Company uses interest rate swaps to effectively convert variable rate debt to fixed rate debt for the financed portion of fixed rate assets. The differential to be paid or received on these agreements is recognized as an adjustment to the interest expense related to debt and is recognized on the accrual basis. The Company also uses interest rate caps to reduce its exposure to interest rate changes on investments. The Company will receive payments on an interest rate cap should the variable rate for which the cap was purchased exceed a specified threshold level and will be recorded as an adjustment to the interest income related to the related earning asset. To determine the fair values of derivative instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each balance sheet date. For the majority of financial instruments including most derivatives, long-term investments and long-term debt, standard market conventions and techniques such as discounted cash flow analysis, option pricing models, replacement cost, and termination cost are used to determine fair value. All methods of assessing fair value result in a general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized. The swap and cap agreements are generally held to maturity and the Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. -5- Capital Trust, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (unaudited) 3. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 4. Available-for-Sale Securities At September 30, 2001, the Company's available-for-sale securities consisted of the following (in thousands):

Equity Investments in CT Mezzanine Partners II LLC ("Fund II") On April 9, 2001, CT Mezzanine Partners II LP ("Fund II"), the Company's second commercial real estate mezzanine investment fund co-sponsored with Citigroup Investments Inc. ("Citigroup"), held its initial closing (the "Initial Closing"). Fund II closed with an aggregate of $500 million in capital commitments made primarily by third-party institutional private equity investors. On May 29, 2001, Fund II effected its second closing (the "Second Closing") on an additional $115.5 million of capital commitments made primarily by a third-party institutional private equity investor. On August 7, 2001, Fund II effected its final closing (the "Final Closing") on an additional $229.7 million of capital commitments bringing the total equity commitments in Fund II to $845.2 million. Pursuant to the venture agreement among the Company, certain of its subsidiaries and affiliates of Citigroup (the "Venture Agreement"), affiliates of the Company and Citigroup made total capital commitments of $49.7 million and $198.9 million, respectively, to Fund II. Based upon the $845.2 million aggregate capital commitments made at the initial and subsequent closings, the Company will earn annual investment management fees of $8.1 million through the service of its subsidiary, CT Investment Management Co. LLC ("CTIMCO"), as investment manager to Fund II. In addition, CT MP II, LLC, the General Partner of Fund II ("Fund II GP"), of which the Company is a 50% partner, will earn an additional $2.8 million of annual fund management fees not used to fund CTIMCO's investment management fees. Pursuant to the Venture Agreement, in connection with the Initial, Second and Final Closing, the Company issued to Citigroup warrants to purchase 3,015,600, 236,233 and 1,026,634 shares of its Class A Common Stock, respectively. The warrants are immediately exercisable and expire on March 8, 2005. In total, the Company has issued to Citigroup four warrants to purchase 8,528,467 shares of its Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share. The Company is obligated to issue additional warrants at with the same exercise and expiration terms at the closing of subsequent funds co-sponsored with Citigroup that close on or prior to December 31, 2001. 7. Long-Term Debt - Credit Facilities At December 31, 2000, the Company was party to a credit agreement with a commercial lender that provided for a $300 million line of credit scheduled to expire in September 2001. Effective July 16, 2001, pursuant to an amended and restated credit agreement, the Company downsized this line of Credit to $100 million and extended the expiration of such credit facility from September 2001 to July 2002 with an automatic nine-month amortizing extension option, if not otherwise extended. 8. Stockholders' Equity In connection with the Initial Closing, the Company repurchased for $29,138,000, in two privately negotiated transactions, 630,701 shares of Class A Common Stock, 1,520,831 shares of Class B Common Stock, 1,518,390 shares of Class A Preferred Stock and 2,274,110 shares of Class B Preferred Stock. On August 13, 2001, the Company repurchased for $21.0 million in a privately negotiated transaction 200,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, 1,234,355 shares of Class B Common Stock, 759,195 shares of Class A Preferred Stock and 1,769,138 shares of Class B Preferred Stock. With this repurchase of Preferred Stock, the Company has repurchased all of its outstanding Preferred Stock and eliminated the related dividend. -8- Capital Trust, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (unaudited) 9. Derivative Financial Instruments On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended by SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133, as amended, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments. Specifically SFAS No. 133 requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and to measure those instruments at fair value. Additionally, the fair value adjustments will affect either shareholders' equity or net income depending on whether the derivative instrument qualifies as a hedge for accounting purposes and, if so, the nature of the hedging activity. As of January 1, 2001, the adoption of the new standard resulted in an adjustment of $574,000 to accumulated other comprehensive loss and other liabilities. In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to the effect of interest rate changes. The Company limits these risks by following established risk management policies and procedures including those for the use of derivatives. For interest rate exposures, derivatives are used primarily to align rate movements between interest rates associated with the Company's loans and other financial assets with interest rates on related debt financing, and manage the cost of borrowing obligations. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Further, the Company has a policy of only entering into contracts with major financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and other factors. When viewed in conjunction with the underlying and offsetting exposure that the derivatives are designed to hedge, the Company has not sustained a material loss from those instruments, nor does it anticipate any material adverse effect on its net income or financial position in the future from the use of derivatives. To manage interest rate risk, the Company may employ options, forwards, interest rate swaps, caps and floors or a combination thereof depending on the underlying exposure. To reduce overall interest cost, the Company uses interest rate instruments, typically interest rate swaps, to convert a portion of its variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. Interest rate differentials that arise under these swap contracts are recognized as interest expense over the life of the contracts. The following table summarizes the notional value and fair value of the Company's derivative financial instruments, principally swap contracts at September 30, 2001. The notional value provides an indication of the extent of the Company's involvement in these instruments at that time, but does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or foreign exchange market risks.
Interest Hedge Type Notional Value Rate Maturity Fair Value - ------------- ------------------------ -------------------- ----------------- -------------- ------------------ Swap Fair Value Hedge $137,812,000 6.045% 2014 $(12,991,000) Swap Cash Flow Hedge 11,250,000 6.580% 2006 (1,116,000) Swap Cash Flow Hedge 37,125,000 5.905% 2008 (2,698,000) Swap Cash Flow Hedge 18,838,000 6.035% 2003 (1,027,000) Cap Cash Flow Hedge 18,750,000 11.250% 2007 59,000
Financial reporting for hedges characterized as fair value hedges and cash flow hedges are different. For those hedges characterized as a fair value hedge, the changes in fair value of the hedge and the hedged item are reflected in earnings each quarter. In the case of the fair value hedge listed above, the Company is hedging the component of interest rate risk that can be directly controlled by the hedging instrument, and it is this portion of the hedged assets that is recognized in earnings. The non-hedged balance is classified as an available-for-sale security consistent with SFAS No. 115, and is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. For those hedges characterized as cash flow hedges, the unrealized gains/losses in the fair value of these hedges are reported on the balance sheet with a corresponding adjustment to either accumulated other comprehensive income or in earnings, depending on the type of hedging relationship. On September 30, 2001, the derivative financial instruments were reported at their fair value as other assets and interest rate hedge liabilities of $59,000 and $17,832,000, respectively. -9- Capital Trust, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (unaudited) During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company recognized a gain of $23,000 for the change in time value for qualifying interest rate hedges. The time value is a component of fair value that must be recognized in earnings, and is shown in the consolidated statement of income as other expense. The fair value hedge in the above table was undertaken by the Company to sustain the value of the Company's CMBS holdings. This fair value hedge, when viewed in conjunction with the fair value of the securities, is sustaining the value of those securities as interest rates rise and fall. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company recognized a loss of $12,605,000 for the decrease in the value of the swap which was substantially offset by a gain of $11,323,000 for the change in the fair value of the securities attributed to the hedged risk resulting in a $1,282,000 charge to other expense on the consolidated statement of income. The Company utilizes cash flow hedges in order to better control interest costs on variable rate debt transactions. Interest rate swaps that convert variable payments to fixed payments, interest rate caps, floors, collars, and forwards are considered cash flow hedges. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the fair value of the cash flow swaps decreased by $3.2 million, which was deferred into other comprehensive loss and will be released to earnings over the remaining lives of the swaps. Over time, the unrealized gains and losses held in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified to earnings. This reclassification is consistent with the timing of when the hedged items are also recognized in earnings. Within the next twelve months, the Company estimates that $1.2 million currently held in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified to earnings, with regard to the cash flow hedges. 10. Income Taxes The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 is comprised as follows (in thousands): 2001 2000 ------------------ -------------- Current Federal $ 7,701 $ 8,751 State 2,778 3,140 Local 2,508 2,834 Deferred Federal (605) (1,063) State (208) (366) Local (188) (330) ---------------- --------------- Provision for income taxes $ 11,986 $ 12,966 ================ =============== The reconciliation of income tax computed at the U.S. federal statutory tax rate (35%) to the effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 are as follows (in thousands):

-10- Capital Trust, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) (unaudited) Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for tax reporting purposes. The components of the net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 are as follows (in thousands):
September 30, December 31, 2001 2000 ----------------------- ----------------------- Net operating loss carryforward $ 2,930 $ 3,298 Reserves on other assets and for possible credit losses 9,040 9,047 Other 2,278 1,411 ----------------------- ----------------------- Deferred tax assets 14,248 13,756 Valuation allowance (4,528) (5,037) ----------------------- ----------------------- $ 9,720 $ 8,719 ======================= =======================
The Company recorded a valuation allowance to reserve a portion of its net deferred tax assets in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". Under SFAS No. 109, this valuation allowance will be adjusted in future years, as appropriate. However, the timing and extent of such future adjustments can not presently be determined. 11. Employee Benefit Plans 1997 Long-Term Incentive Stock Plan During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company issued an aggregate of 454,500 options to acquire shares of Class A Common Stock with exercise prices ranging from $4.50 to $5.50 per share (the fair value market value based on reported trading price on the date of the grant). The Company also issued 227,780 restricted shares of Class A Common Stock which vest one third on each of the following dates: February 1, 2002, February 1, 2003 and February 1, 2004. The following table summarizes the option activity under the incentive stock plan for the quarter ended September 30, 2001:

The revised employment agreement will expire on February 1, 2002 unless otherwise extended. -13- ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Historical results set forth are not necessarily indicative of the future financial position and results of operations of the Company. Second Mezzanine Investment Fund On April 9, 2001, CT Mezzanine Partners II LP ("Fund II"), the Company's second commercial real estate mezzanine investment fund co-sponsored with Citigroup Investments Inc. ("Citigroup"), held its initial closing (the "Initial Closing"). Fund II closed with an aggregate of $500 million in capital commitments made primarily by third-party institutional private equity investors. On May 29, 2001, Fund II effected its second closing (the "Second Closing") on an additional $115.5 million of capital commitments made primarily by a third-party institutional private equity investor. On August 7, 2001, Fund II effected its final closing (the "Final Closing") on an additional $229.7 million of capital commitments bringing the total equity commitments in Fund II to $845.2 million. Pursuant to the venture agreement among the Company, certain of its subsidiaries and affiliates of Citigroup (the "Venture Agreement"), affiliates of the Company and Citigroup made total capital commitments of $49.7 million and $198.9 million, respectively, to Fund II. Based upon the $845.2 million aggregate capital commitments made at the initial and subsequent closings, the Company will earn annual investment management fees of $8.1 million through the service of its subsidiary, CT Investment Management Co. LLC ("CTIMCO"), as investment manager to Fund II. In addition, CT MP II, LLC, the General Partner of Fund II ("Fund II GP"), of which the Company is a 50% partner, will earn an additional $2.8 million of annual fund management fees not used to fund CTIMCO's investment management fees. Pursuant to the Venture Agreement, in connection with the Initial, Second and Final Closing, the Company issued to Citigroup warrants to purchase 3,015,600, 236,233 and 1,026,634 shares of its Class A Common Stock, respectively. The warrants are immediately exercisable and expire on March 8, 2005. In total, the Company has issued to Citigroup four warrants to purchase 8,528,467 shares of its Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share. The Company is obligated to issue additional warrants at with the same exercise and expiration terms at the closing of subsequent funds co-sponsored with Citigroup that close on or prior to December 31, 2001. In addition, in connection with the Initial Closing, the Company repurchased for $29,138,000 in privately negotiated transactions 630,701 shares of Class A Common Stock, 1,520,831 shares of Class B Common Stock, 1,518,390 shares of Class A Preferred Stock and 2,274,110 shares of Class B Preferred Stock. The sellers of such capital stock made aggregate capital commitments to Fund II of $30 million. REIT Status Election Pursuant to its Venture Agreement with Citigroup, the Company is obligated to take the steps necessary for it to be taxed as a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") for the 2002 tax year. Based on the composition of its assets and the nature of its income due in significant part to the successful implementation of the Company's investment management business, the Company does not meet the qualifications to elect to be taxed as a REIT at this time. In light of its success with its investment management business, the Company does not believe that it is advisable at this time to pursue the changes to its business and assets that would be necessary for it to qualify for taxation as a REIT and therefore has requested Citigroup waive the obligation, which request is under consideration. If Citigroup does not grant the requested waiver and the Company does not achieve REIT status, the Company may be subject to monetary liability to Citigroup determined through an appraisal procedure set forth in the Venture Agreement. While the amount of any such potential liability, if any, cannot be predicted, the Company does not believe that the imposition of any such liability would have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company continues to pursue alternative strategies for tax efficiency, including REIT election in the future depending upon the impact such election would have on its business at that time. -14- Overview of Financial Condition Since December 31, 2000, the Company funded $13,319,000 of commitments under three existing loans. The Company received full satisfaction of five loans and a certificated mezzanine investment totaling $118.0 million and partial repayments on five loans and a certificated mezzanine investment totaling $14.3 million. At September 30, 2001, the Company had outstanding loans and investments in commercial mortgage-backed securities totaling approximately $480 million and additional commitments for funding on one outstanding loan of approximately $2.5 million. Since December 31, 2000, the Company has made equity contributions to CT Mezzanine Partners I LLC ("Fund I" and together with Fund II and Fund II GP, the "Funds") of $24.1 million and Fund I has returned $28.4 million. The Company's investment in Fund I at September 30, 2001 is $24.0 million. The Company has capitalized costs of $4,752,000 that are being amortized over the anticipated lives of the Funds. As of September 30, 2001, Fund I has outstanding loans and investments totaling $162.5 million, all of which are performing in accordance with the terms of their agreements except for one loan for $26.0 million which is in default and for which the accrual of interest has been suspended. Since the Initial Closing of Fund II on April 9, 2001, the Company has made equity contributions to Fund II of $7.1 million and equity contributions to Fund II GP of $671,000. The Company has capitalized costs of $3.3 million relating to the formation of Fund II that are being amortized over the anticipated lives of the Funds. The Company's investment in Fund II and Fund II GP at September 30, 2001 is $10.8 million. As of September 30, 2001, Fund II has outstanding loans and investments totaling $383.3 million, all of which are performing in accordance with the terms of their agreements. At September 30, 2001, the Company had $115.1 million outstanding under the credit facilities. The decrease in the amount outstanding under the credit facilities from the amount outstanding at December 31, 2000 was due to the cash received on loan repayments being utilized to pay down the credit facilities offset by additional borrowings to repurchase Common and Preferred Stock. During 2001, the Company has repurchased 830,701 shares of Class A Common Stock and all of its outstanding Class B Common Stock and Preferred Stock in three privately negotiated transactions. In 2001, the Company purchased $97.5 million of Federal National Mortgage Association fixed rate securities that were subsequently sold at their amortized cost of $97.3 million. The Company also purchased $160.4 million of Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation Gold fixed rate securities. To finance this purchase, the Company entered into eight repurchase obligations that mature in October 2001. The Company sold the six Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation Gold fixed rate securities with a market value of $160.9 million at September 30, 2001 for which the Company has a liability to repurchase these assets for $155.6 million. The interest rate in effect for the repurchase obligations at September 30, 2001 was 3.10%. The Company expects to enter into a new repurchase obligation at maturity. On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended by SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133, as amended, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments. Specifically SFAS No. 133 requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and to measure those instruments at fair value. Additionally, the fair value adjustments will affect either shareholders' equity or net income depending on whether the derivative instrument qualifies as a hedge for accounting purposes and, if so, the nature of the hedging activity. As of January 1, 2001, the adoption of the new standard results in an adjustment of $574,000 to accumulated other comprehensive loss. Financial reporting for hedges characterized as fair value hedges and cash flow hedges are different. For those hedges characterized as a fair value hedge, the changes in fair value of the hedge and the hedged item are reflected in earnings each quarter. In the case of the fair value hedge, the Company is hedging the component of interest rate risk that can be directly controlled by the hedging instrument, and it is this portion of the hedged assets that is recognized in earnings. The non-hedged balance is classified as an available-for-sale security consistent with SFAS No. 115, and is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. For those hedges characterized as cash flow hedges, the unrealized gains/losses in the fair value of these hedges are reported on the balance sheet with a corresponding adjustment to either accumulated other comprehensive income or in earnings, depending on the type of hedging -15- relationship. In accordance with SFAS No. 133, on September 30, 2001, the derivative financial instruments were reported at their fair value as other liabilities of $17,832,000. During 2000, the Company announced a share repurchase program under which the Company may purchase, from time to time, up to four million shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company did not purchase any additional shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock pursuant to the repurchase program and has 1,435,600 shares authorized for repurchase remaining under the program. The Company has and will continue to fund share repurchases with available cash. Now that the Company's new investment management business has commenced and Fund II's asset origination and acquisition activities are ongoing under the management of CTIMCO, the Company will not reinvest directly for its own portfolio the working capital derived from maturing loans and investments, unless otherwise approved or permitted by Fund II or other Mezzanine Funds. Pursuant to the Venture Agreement, the Company will identify potential investment opportunities for Fund II and will use such working capital to make its contributions to the fund as and when required. Therefore, if the amount of the Company's maturing loans and investments increases significantly before excess capital is invested in Fund II or other funds, or otherwise accretively deployed, the Company may experience temporary shortfalls in revenues and lower earnings until offsetting revenues are derived from the Funds. Comparison of the Nine and Three Months Ended September 30, 2001 to the Nine and Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 The Company reported net income allocable to shares of Common Stock of $6,692,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, an increase of $1,413,000 from the net income allocable to shares of Common Stock of $5,279,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The Company reported net income allocable to shares of Common Stock of $2,822,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2001, an increase of $809,000, from the net income allocable to shares of Common Stock of $2,013,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000. These increases were primarily the result of increased income from equity investments in the Funds and related management fees from the management of the Funds and lower general and administrative expenses and a reduction in the provision for possible credit losses offset by decreased advisory and investment banking fees and decreased net interest income from loans and other investments as the Company continues its transition to the investment management business. Interest and related income from loans and other investments amounted to $51,742,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of $13,308,000 from the $65,050,000 amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Average interest earning assets decreased from approximately $700.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 to approximately $549.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The average interest rate earned on such assets increased from 12.4% in 2000 to 12.6% in 2001. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company recognized an additional $4.8 million on the early repayment of loans, while during the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company recognized an additional $1.5 million on the early repayment of loans. Without this additional interest income and after adjustment of the 2000 rates for the effect of recognizing net swap payments in interest expense rather than interest income, the earning rate for 2001 would have been 11.4% versus 12.4% for 2000. The decrease in such core-earning rate is due to a decrease in the average LIBOR rate from 6.33% for the first nine months of 2000 to 4.44% for the first nine months of 2001 for the variable rate assets. Interest and related income from loans and other investments amounted to $16,985,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of $4,555,000 from the $21,540,000 amount for the three months ended September 30, 2000. Average interest earning assets decreased from approximately $662.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 to approximately $502.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The average interest rate earned on such assets increased from 12.9% in 2000 to 13.4% in 2001. During the three months ended September 30, 2001, the Company recognized an additional $3.2 million on the early repayment of loans, while during the three months ended September 30, 2000, the Company recognized an additional $1.0 million on the early repayment of loans. Without this additional interest income and after adjustment of the 2000 rates for the effect of recognizing net swap payments in interest expense rather than interest income, the earning rate for 2001 would have been 10.9% versus 12.4% for 2000. The decrease in such core-earning rate is due to a decrease in the average LIBOR rate from 6.62% for the three months ended September 30, 2000 to 3.54% for the three months -16- ended September 30, 2001 for the variable rate assets. The decrease in LIBOR rates throughout the year have had the effect of lowering the absolute rates on the Company's investments and reducing net interest income in 2001. Interest and related expenses amounted to $19,725,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of $8,775,000 from the $28,500,000 amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The decrease in expense was due to a decrease in the amount of average interest bearing liabilities outstanding from approximately $410.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 to approximately $294.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, and a decrease in the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities from 9.2% to 9.0% for the same periods, after adjustment of the 2000 rates for the effect of recognizing net swap payments in interest expense rather than interest income. The decrease in the average rate is not consistent with the decrease in the average LIBOR rate for the same periods due to a change in the mix of interest bearing liabilities. In 2001, a higher percentage of the interest bearing liabilities are the term redeemable securities contract which is generally at a higher rate than the other forms of interest bearing liabilities. Interest and related expenses amounted to $5,708,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of $3,300,000 from the $9,008,000 amount for the three months ended September 30, 2000. The decrease in expense was due to a decrease in the amount of average interest bearing liabilities outstanding from approximately $387.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 to approximately $251.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001, and the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities remaining constant at 9.0% for the same periods, after adjustment of the 2000 rates for the effect of recognizing net swap payments in interest expense rather than interest income. The decrease in the average rate is not consistent with the decrease in the average LIBOR rate for the same periods due to a change in the mix of interest bearing liabilities. In 2001, a higher percentage of the interest bearing liabilities are the term redeemable securities contract which is generally at a higher rate than the other forms of interest bearing liabilities. In addition, the Company also utilized proceeds from the $150.0 million of Convertible Trust Preferred Securities, which were issued on July 28, 1998 to finance its interest earning assets. As previously disclosed, the terms of the Convertible Trust Preferred Securities were modified effective May 10, 2000. As a result, the blended rate on such securities increased from 8.25% to 10.16% on that date. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company recognized $6,359,000 and $5,802,000, respectively, of net expenses related to the Convertible Trust Preferred Securities. This amount consisted of distributions to the holders totaling $11,428,000 and $11,235,000, respectively, and amortization of discount and origination costs totaling $599,000 and $599,000, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000. This was partially offset by a tax benefit of $5,668,000 and $5,234,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company recognized $2,119,000 and $2,120,000, respectively, of net expenses related to the Convertible Trust Preferred Securities. This amount consisted of distributions to the holders totaling $3,809,000 and $4,208,000, respectively, and amortization of discount and origination costs totaling $200,000 and $199,000, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000. This was partially offset by a tax benefit of $1,890,000 and $1,889,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, other revenues increased $2,602,000 to $8,111,000 from $5,509,000 in the same period of 2000. During the three months ended September 30, 2001, other revenues increased $2,762,000 to $3,839,000 from $1,077,000 in the same period of 2000. During the second quarter of 2000, Fund I commenced operations and during the second quarter of 2001, Fund II commenced operations. This increase in other revenue is due to increased revenue from the Funds (management and advisory income in addition to the return on investment in the funds) offset by a reduction in advisory and investment banking fees as the Company continues its transition from a "balance sheet" lender and real estate advisor to an investment manager. Investment management and advisory fees from Funds managed has increased significantly since the closing of Fund II. The Company earned $2,270,000 of investment management fees from Fund II and $650,000 of advisory fees from Fund II GP in the third quarter of 2001. The Company earned $1,592,000 of investment management fees from Fund II in the second quarter of 2001. These additional fees account for the increase in investment management and advisory fees from Funds managed from 2000 to 2001. -17- For the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company had earned $554,000 and $678,000, respectively, on its equity investment in the Funds. The decrease in income in the third quarter of 2001 versus the same quarter of 2000 was due to Fund I suspending interest income recognition of one loan for the third quarter reducing net income of the fund by $907,000 which was partially offset by a higher level investments by the Funds. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company had earned $2,422,000 and $899,000. The increase in income in 2001 versus 2000 was due primarily to the increased level of investment in the Funds offset by the previously discussed interest suspension. General and administrative expenses decreased from $13,155,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 to $11,766,000 for nine months ended September 30, 2001. In 2000, as the Company transitioned to its new investment management business, it incurred one-time expenses of $2.1 million that were included in general and administrative expenses. The Company employed an average of 27 employees during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 verses an average of 24 employees during the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The Company had 28 full-time employees and one part-time employee at September 30, 2001. General and administrative expenses increased from $3,600,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 to $3,991,000 for three months ended September 30, 2001. This increase is primarily the result of an increase in the average staffing levels from year to year. The Company employed an average of 29 employees during the three months ended September 30, 2001 verses an average of 22 employees during the three months ended September 30, 2000. The decrease in the provision for possible credit losses from $2,681,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 to $748,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and from $839,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 to zero for the three months ended September 30, 2001 was due to the decrease in average earning assets as previously described. The Company did not add to the reserve for possible credit losses during the second or third quarter of 2001 as the Company believes that the reserve is adequate based on the existing loans and investments in the portfolio. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company accrued income tax expense of $11,986,000 and $12,966,000, respectively, for federal, state and local income taxes. For the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company accrued income tax expense of $4,479,000 and $4,362,000, respectively, for federal, state and local income taxes. The decrease (from 51.3% to 46.7% for the nine month period and from 49.0% to 47.1% for the three month period) in the effective tax rate was primarily due to higher levels of compensation in excess of deductible limits in the prior year. The preferred stock dividend and dividend requirement arose in 1997 as a result of the Company's issuance of $33 million of shares of Class A Preferred Stock on July 15, 1997. Dividends accrued on these shares at a rate of 9.5% per annum on a per share price of $2.69. In the third quarter of 1999, 5,946,825 shares of Class A Preferred Stock were converted into an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock thereby reducing the number of outstanding shares of Preferred Stock to 6,320,833 and the dividend requirement to $1,615,000 per annum. In 2001, the remaining shares of Preferred Stock were repurchased thereby eliminating the dividend requirement. Liquidity and Capital Resources At September 30, 2001, the Company had $7,826,000 in cash. The primary sources of liquidity for the Company for the remainder of 2001 will be cash on hand, cash generated from operations, principal and interest payments received on investments (including loan repayments and the return of capital from Fund I), and additional borrowings under its credit facilities. The Company believes these sources of capital will adequately meet future cash requirements. The Company expects that during the remainder of 2001 and 2002, it will use a significant amount of its available capital resources to satisfy its capital contributions required in connection with Fund II. In connection with the existing loan portfolio and investments held directly, the Company intends to employ leverage to enhance its return on equity. The Company experienced a net decrease in cash of $3,562,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, compared to the net decrease of $29,787,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The use of cash in the first three quarters of 2000 was primarily to reduce liabilities and make equity contributions to Fund I. Cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $13,406,000, compared to -18- $8,510,000 during the same period of 2000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, cash used in investing activities was $46,031,000, compared to $126,065,000 provided by investing activities during the same period in 2000. This change was primarily due to the purchase of available-for sale securities in 2001. The Company utilized the cash received on loan repayments in both years to reduce borrowings under the credit facilities and entered into repurchase obligations to finance the purchase of available-for-sale securities which accounted for most of the $193,425,000 change in the net cash used in financing activities from $164,362,000 in the first three quarters of 2000 to the $29,063,000 of cash provided by financing activities in the same period of 2001. At September 30, 2001, the Company has one outstanding note payable for $955,000, outstanding borrowings under the credit facilities of $115,065,000, outstanding borrowings on the term redeemable securities contract of $136,119,000 and an outstanding repurchase obligation of $155,583,000. At September 30, 2001, the Company had $315,349,000 of borrowing capacity available under its credit facilities. Impact of September 11, 2001 The terrorist attacks on The World Trade Centers in New York City, the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. and in Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001, have disrupted the U.S. Financial markets and have negatively impacted the U.S. economy in general. Any future terrorist attacks and the anticipation of any such attacks, or the consequences of the military or other response by the U.S. and its allies, may have a further adverse impact on the U.S. financial markets and the economy. It is not possible to predict the severity of the effect that such future events would have on the U.S. financial markets and economy. Although it is too early to determine fully how this national tragedy will impact the Company, it is possible that the economic impact of the terrorist attacks will adversely affect the credit quality of some of the Company's loans and investments. Some of the Company's loans and investments are more susceptible to the adverse effects than others, such as the hotel loans, which experienced a significant reduction in occupancy rates following the attack. While the Company's asset base is diversified and the Company employs a variety of techniques to enhance the credit quality of the assets, such as dedicated cash reserves, letters of credit and guarantees, the Company may suffer losses as a result of the adverse impact of the attacks, or of future attacks and these losses may adversely impact the Company's financial performance. In addition, the instability of the U.S. economy may reduce the number of suitable investment opportunities available to Fund II and the pace at which its investments are made. A reduction in asset originations could adversely affect the Company's ability to grow earnings.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk The principal objective of the Company's asset/liability management activities is to maximize net interest income, while minimizing levels of interest rate risk. Net interest income and interest expense are subject to the risk of interest rate fluctuations. To mitigate the impact of fluctuations in interest rates, the Company uses interest rate swaps to effectively convert fixed rate assets to variable rate assets for proper matching with variable rate liabilities and variable rate liabilities to fixed rate liabilities for proper matching with fixed rate assets. Each derivative used as a hedge is matched with an asset or liability with which it has a high correlation. The swap agreements are generally held to maturity and the Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. The Company uses interest rate swaps to reduce the Company's exposure to interest rate fluctuations on certain fixed rate loans and investments and to provide more stable spreads between rates received on loans and investments and the rates paid on their financing sources. The following table provides information about the Company's financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates at September 30, 2001. For financial assets and debt obligations, the table presents cash flows to the expected maturity and weighted average interest rates based upon the current carrying values. For interest rate swaps, the table presents notional amounts and weighted average fixed pay and variable receive interest rates by contractual maturity dates. Notional amounts are used to calculate the contractual cash flows to be exchanged under the contract. Weighted-average variable rates are based on rates in effect as of the reporting date.

(b) The date, amount and interest rate of each Loan made by Lender to Borrower, and each payment made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by Lender on its books and, prior to any transfer of the Note, endorsed by Lender on the schedule attached to the Note or any continuation thereof; provided that the failure of Lender to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of Borrower to make a payment when due of any amount owing hereunder or under the Note in respect of the Loans. 2.03. Procedures for Borrowing. (a) Preliminary Approval of Proposed Collateral. (i) Borrower may, from time to time, submit to Lender a Preliminary Due Diligence Package for Lender's review and approval in order to request a borrowing hereunder with respect to any proposed Collateral that Borrower proposes to pledge to Lender and to be included in the Borrowing Base in connection with such borrowing. (ii) Upon Lender's receipt of a complete Preliminary Due Diligence Package, Lender within two (2) Business Days shall have the right to request, in Lender's sole and absolute discretion, additional diligence materials and deliveries that Lender shall specify on a -14- Supplemental Due Diligence List. Upon Lender's receipt of all of the Diligence Materials or Lender's waiver thereof, Lender, within five (5) Business Days, shall either (i) notify Borrower of the Maximum Advance Rate (which may be less than the Advance Rate set forth in the definition of Eurodollar Rate Spread) and the Asset Value for the proposed Collateral or (ii) deny, in Lender's sole and absolute discretion, Borrower's request for an advance. Lender's failure to respond to Borrower within five (5) Business Days following receipt of all Diligence Materials or Lender's written waiver thereof shall be deemed to be a denial of Borrower's request for an advance, unless Lender and Borrower have agreed otherwise in writing. Nothing in this Section 2.03(a)(ii) or elsewhere in this Loan Agreement shall, or be deemed to, prohibit Lender from determining in its sole discretion the adequacy, correctness and appropriateness of, or from disapproving, any and all financial and other underwriting data required to be supplied by Borrower under this Loan Agreement. (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that any Preliminary Due Diligence Package submitted to Lender pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall pertain to Collateral owned by a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Borrower, Lender may condition any determination of the Asset Value and any approval of the applicable advance upon the modification of the Loan Documents to include such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary (each, an "Additional Borrower") as an Additional Borrower under the applicable Loan Documents. (b) Final Approval of Proposed Collateral. Upon Lender's notification to Borrower of the Maximum Advance Rate and the Asset Value for any proposed Collateral, Borrower shall, if Borrower desires to obtain one or more advances secured by such proposed Collateral, satisfy the conditions set forth below (in addition to satisfying the conditions precedent to obtaining each advance, as set forth in Section 5 of this Loan Agreement) as conditions precedent to Lender's approval of such proposed Collateral as Collateral, all in a manner, and pursuant to documentation, satisfactory in all respects to Lender and its counsel: (i) Environmental and Engineering. If applicable, Lender shall have received an Environmental Report and an Engineering Report, each in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, by an Engineer and Environmental Consultant listed on Schedules 3 and 4 attached hereto, respectively, as each such schedule may be amended from time to time by Lender in its reasonable discretion. (ii) Appraisal. If applicable, Lender shall have received an Appraisal. (iii) Insurance. With respect to proposed Collateral that is real property, Lender shall have received certificates or other evidence of insurance demonstrating insurance coverage in respect of such real property of types, in amounts, with insurers and otherwise in compliance with the terms, provisions and conditions set forth in the Collateral Documents or the Security Documents. Such certificates or other evidence shall indicate Borrower, as lender, will be named as an additional insured as its interest may appear and shall contain a loss payee endorsement in favor of such additional insured with respect to the property policies required to be maintained under the Collateral Documents. (iv) Survey. With respect to a Mortgage Loan, a Mezzanine Loan or an Equity Interest, to the extent obtained by Borrower from the Collateral Obligor with respect to any item of Collateral at the origination of the underlying loan or equity interest, as the case may be, relating thereto, Lender shall have received with respect to proposed Collateral that is real property, a current Survey of such real property in a form satisfactory to Lender. (v) Lien Search Reports. Lender or Lender's counsel shall have received, as reasonably requested by Lender, satisfactory reports of UCC, tax lien, judgment and litigation -15- searches and title reports and updates, as applicable, conducted by search firms and/or title companies acceptable to Lender with respect to the Collateral, Borrower and the related underlying obligor, such searches to be conducted in each location Lender shall reasonably designate. (vi) Title Insurance Policy. (A) With respect to a Mortgage Loan, Borrower shall have delivered to Lender (1) an unconditional commitment to issue title insurance policies in favor of Lender and Lender's successors and/or assigns with respect to Lender's interest in the related real property with an amount of insurance that shall be not less than the related Asset-Specific Loan Balance (taking into account the proposed advance) or such other amount as Lender shall require in its sole discretion or (2) an endorsement or confirmatory letter from the existing title company to the existing Title Insurance Policy in favor of Lender and Lender's successors and/or assigns that amends the existing title insurance policy by stating that the amount of the insurance is no less than the related Asset-Specific Loan Balance (taking into account the proposed advance) or such other amount of title coverage as Lender shall require in its sole discretion. (B) With respect to a Mezzanine Loan or an Equity Interest, Borrower shall have delivered to Lender such evidence as Lender on a case-by-case basis, in its sole discretion, shall require of the ownership of the real property underlying such item of Collateral including, without limitation, a copy of a title insurance policy dated a date, and by a title insurer, in each case acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion, showing that title is vested in the related Collateral Obligor or in an entity in whom such Collateral Obligor holds a beneficial interest. (vii) Security Documents. Borrower shall have executed and delivered to Lender, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and its counsel, all security documents perfecting Lender's security interest in the proposed Collateral (and in any Interest Rate Protection Agreements held by Borrower with respect thereto) which shall be subject to no Liens except as expressly permitted by Lender. Each of the security documents shall contain such representations and warranties concerning the proposed Collateral and such other terms as shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender. (viii) Opinions of Counsel. Lender shall have received from counsel to Borrower its legal opinion as to enforceability of this Loan Agreement, the substitute Note (if applicable), the matters that are the subject of the opinion delivered pursuant to Section 5.04 hereof and all documents executed and delivered hereunder in connection with such Loan, (at Lender's option) an opinion from local counsel where the applicable property is located and an opinion to Borrower and its successors and assigns from counsel to the underlying obligor on the underlying loan transaction, as applicable, as to enforceability of the loan documents governing such transaction and such other matters as Lender shall require (including, without limitation, opinions as to due formation, authority, choice of law and perfection of security interests). Such legal opinions shall be addressed to Lender and its successors and assigns, dated the related Funding Date, and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. (ix) Additional Real Estate Matters. To the extent obtained by Borrower from the Collateral Obligor relating to any item of Collateral at the origination of the underlying loan or equity interest relating thereto, Borrower shall have delivered to Lender such other real estate related certificates and documentation as may have been requested by Lender, such as (i) certificates of occupancy and letters certifying that the property is in compliance with all applicable zoning laws, each issued by appropriate Governmental Authority and (ii) abstracts of all Leases in effect at the real property relating to such Collateral. -16- (x) Additional Borrower. Lender shall have received a substitute Note evidencing the addition of any Additional Borrower owning the proposed Collateral and naming Additional Borrower as obligor thereunder, and such modifications to the other Loan Documents as Lender shall require. In addition, each of the conditions precedent contained in Section 5 hereof shall have been satisfied with respect to each Additional Borrower, the addition of each applicable Additional Borrower shall not cause a default by Borrower under any term, covenant, condition, representation or warranty hereunder, and Lender shall have received such other representations, warranties, certificates, documents and opinions with respect to each Additional Borrower as Lender shall, in its sole discretion, deem satisfactory. (xi) Other Documents. Lender shall have received such other documents as Lender or its counsel shall request with respect to each or any item of Collateral. (c) Collateral Approval or Disapproval. Within two (2) Business Days following the date upon which Borrower has tendered performance of the conditions enumerated in Sections 2.03(b)(i) through (xi), or has delivered such items or documents fully executed, if applicable, in final form, Lender shall either (i) if the Collateral Documents or the Security Documents with respect to the proposed Collateral are not reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Lender, notify Borrower that Lender has not approved the proposed Collateral as Collateral or (ii) notify Borrower and Bailee that Lender has approved the proposed Collateral as Collateral and such notice shall identify the documents to be delivered to Custodian in connection with such proposed Collateral pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 5 of this Loan Agreement and shall identify the party whom Lender shall designate to record and/or file, as the case may be, any security documents necessary to perfect Lender's security interest in the Eligible Collateral. The terms of delivery and filing and/or recordation of such security documents shall be set forth in a separate agreement between Lender and its designee. Lender's failure to respond to Borrower within two (2) Business Days shall be deemed to be a denial of Borrower's request that Lender approve the proposed Collateral, unless Lender and Borrower have agreed otherwise in writing. (d) Procedure for Borrowing with Respect to Eligible Collateral. Once Lender has approved the Collateral in accordance with Section 2.03(c) above, Borrower may request a Loan hereunder, on any Business Day during the period from and including the Effective Date to and including the Termination Date, by delivering to Lender, with a copy to Custodian, an irrevocable written request for borrowing, substantially in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto, which request must be received by Lender prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one (l) Business Day prior to the requested Funding Date. Such request for borrowing shall (1) attach a schedule identifying the Eligible Collateral that Borrower proposes to pledge to Lender and to be included in the Borrowing Base in connection with such borrowing, (2) specify the requested Funding Date, and (3) attach an Officer's Certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower as required by Section 5.02(b) hereof. Contemporaneously with the delivery of the request for borrowing, Borrower shall deliver to Lender with a copy to Custodian, a Custodial Identification Certificate along with the accompanying Collateral Schedule with respect to all proposed Eligible Collateral to be pledged to Lender on the applicable Funding Date. (e) Delivery of Collateral Files and Security Documents. "Non-Table Funded" Eligible Collateral: 1) By no later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, one (1) Business Day prior to any Funding Date, the Borrower and/or the Bailee shall deliver to the Custodian as to any Eligible Collateral on a case-by-case basis, (i) original counterparts of all Collateral Documents comprising the Collateral File, (ii) the security documents described in Section 2.03(b)(vii) above, and (iii) to the extent applicable, any other documents, reports or updated information as Lender shall request pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(i)-(x) and Section 5.03(b) not heretofore finally approved by Lender. -17- "Table Funded" Eligible Collateral: 1) By no later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Funding Date, the Borrower shall cause the Bailee to deliver to the Custodian by facsimile (i) as to each item of Eligible Collateral, the note, if applicable, evidencing the making of a loan secured by such Eligible Collateral, a fully executed Bailee Agreement and Bailee's Trust Receipt and Certification issued by the Bailee thereunder, (ii) as to all other categories of Eligible Collateral on a case-by-case basis, the delivery of all fully executed documents and instruments required by Lender to comprise the Collateral File and (iii) evidence satisfactory to Lender that all documents necessary to perfect Borrower's interest in the Eligible Collateral have been delivered to a party acceptable to Lender for recordation and filing. 2) By no later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day following the applicable Funding Date, the Borrower shall cause the Bailee to deliver to the Custodian the Collateral File. (f) No later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on each Funding Date, Borrower shall provide Custodian with a final Custodial Identification Certificate and related Collateral Schedule with respect to the Eligible Collateral to be pledged to the Lender on such Funding Date, indicating any changes, if any, from the Custodial Identification Certificate and related Collateral Schedule heretofore delivered to Lender and Custodian pursuant to Section 2.03(d) above. (g) If Borrower shall deliver a request for a borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03(d) hereof and all conditions precedent set forth in Sections 2.03(a), 2.03(b), 2.03(c), 5.01 and 5.02 have been met, and provided no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall make a Loan to Borrower on the requested Funding Date, in the amount so requested and approved by Lender. (h) Subject to the delivery by Custodian to Borrower and Lender of a Trust Receipt with a Collateral Schedule in respect to all Collateral pledged to Lender on such Funding Date by no later then 3:00 p.m. on such date, and subject further to the provisions of Section 5 hereof, such borrowing will then be made available to Borrower by Lender transferring, via wire transfer, to the following account of Borrower: Bank of New York, 530 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York, Account No. 630-0439428 for the benefit of Capital Trust, ABA# 021-000018, Attn: Tarryn Kone ((212) 852-4219), in the aggregate amount of such borrowing in funds immediately available to Borrower. Lender may consider on a case-by-case basis in its sole, absolute discretion alternative funding arrangements requested by Borrower. (i) From time to time, the Borrower shall forward to the Custodian additional original documents or additional documents evidencing any (i) assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of a Collateral Loan, or (iii) any amendment to the operative documents with respect to an Equity Interest, in each case approved by the Lender in accordance with the terms of this Loan Agreement and upon receipt of any such other documents, the Custodian shall hold such other documents as the Lender shall request from time to time. (j) With respect to any documents which have been delivered or are being delivered to recording offices for recording and have not been returned to the Borrower in time to permit their delivery hereunder at the time required, in lieu of delivering such original documents, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a true copy thereof with an Officer's Certificate certifying that such copy is a true, correct and complete copy of the original, which has been transmitted for recordation. The Borrower shall deliver such original documents to the Custodian promptly when they are received. 2.04. Mandatory Prepayments or Pledge. (a) Lender may determine and re-determine the Borrowing Base on any Business Day and on as many Business Days as it may elect. If at any time (i) the aggregate outstanding principal -18- amount of Loans exceeds the Borrowing Base (a "Borrowing Base Deficiency"), as determined by Lender in its sole discretion and notified to Borrower on any Business Day, Borrower shall no later than one Business Day after receipt of such notice, or (ii) Borrower shall have received a prepayment of the principal of any loan or preferred equity interest comprising a portion of the Collateral (including, without limitation, the payment of casualty or condemnation proceeds), Borrower shall, not later than one (1) Business Day after receipt of such prepayment, either prepay the Loans in part or in whole or pledge additional Collateral (which Collateral shall be in all respects acceptable to Lender) to Lender, such that after giving effect to such prepayment or pledge the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans does not exceed the Borrowing Base as re-determined by Lender after the addition of Collateral. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, all partial repayments shall be applied against the Asset-Specific Loan Balance relating to the Loan being repaid. (b) If at any time under any Collateral Document evidencing Eligible Collateral (x) there is an Event of Default, or event with which the giving of notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default, or (y) any representation or warranty made by or on behalf of the relevant Collateral Obligor becomes false or misleading in any material respect or (z) the relevant Collateral Obligor fails to perform or observe any material covenant or other obligation, Lender may, in its sole discretion and without regard to any determination of the Asset Value of such Eligible Collateral, notify Borrower of such occurrence and may require that the Asset-Specific Loan Balance related to the relevant Eligible Collateral be prepaid in whole or in part in the determination of Lender. Not later than one (1) Business Day after the receipt of such notice, Borrower shall prepay the Asset-Specific Loan Balance related to such Eligible Collateral. Lender may, in its sole discretion, determine and re-determine the amount to be prepaid irrespective of whether or not (i) any statement of fact contained in any Officer's Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.02(b) or (ii) any representation of Borrower set forth in Section 6.12 was true to Borrower's actual knowledge. Section 3. Payments; Computations; Etc. 3.01. Repayment of Loans; Interest. (a) Borrower hereby promises to repay in full on the Termination Date the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans; provided, however, in the event the Termination Date shall be extended to the date that is nine (9) months after the First Anniversary pursuant to the terms hereof, Borrower promises to repay such aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding on the First Anniversary by the payment on the first Business Day of each calendar month during the Amortization Period beginning with the first Business day of the first calendar month following the First Anniversary and on the Termination Date, as extended (each, an "Installment Date") of an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding as at the First Anniversary divided by (y) nine (9) (such schedule of payments, the "Amortization Schedule"); provided, further, that in the event that Borrower shall repay any portion of the outstanding principal in an amount in excess of the amount then due and payable in accordance with the Amortization Schedule, the Amortization Schedule shall be recalculated such that Borrower shall repay the principal amount of the Loans outstanding on the date of such repayment (after taking such repayment into account) by the payment on each Installment Date remaining in the Amortization Period of an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding on the date of such repayment (after taking such repayment into account) divided by (y) the number of Installment Dates remaining during the Amortization Period. Any repayment of the principal of the Loans made by Borrower to Lender subsequent to an Installment Date shall be credited at the time of such payment and applied to the payment due on next succeeding Installment Date. (b) Borrower hereby promises to pay to Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan for the period from and including the date of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate plus the applicable -19- Eurodollar Rate Spread. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower hereby promises to pay to Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the applicable Post-Default Rate on any principal of any Loan and on any other amount payable by Borrower hereunder or under the Note that shall not be paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or by mandatory prepayment or otherwise) for the period from and including the due date thereof to but excluding the date the same is paid in full. Payment and acceptance of interest pursuant to this subsection shall not constitute a waiver of any Default and shall not otherwise limit or prejudice any right of Lender hereunder. In no event shall Lender be entitled to receive any proceeds received from any Collateral Obligor in connection with the refinancing and/or final distribution to Lender with respect to any Eligible Collateral to the extent same exceeds the sums provided to be paid to Lender under Section 7.15 of this Loan Agreement. (c) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first Business Day of each month and for the last month of the Loan Agreement on the first Business Day of such last month and on the Termination Date, except that interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall accrue daily and shall be payable upon such accrual. (d) The Loans may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time upon two (2) Business Days prior written notice, without any penalty or premium; provided, however, that any such prepayment shall be accompanied by an amount representing accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid and all other amounts then due under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all amounts due under Section 3 hereof). Each partial prepayment that is voluntary (as opposed to mandatory under the terms of this Loan Agreement) shall be in an amount of not less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, each voluntary prepayment shall be applied to reduce any Asset-Specific Loan Balance as designated by Borrower to Lender in writing. (e) With respect to any item of Collateral, Borrower shall repay to Lender an amount equal to the amount of casualty or condemnation proceeds paid to, or for the benefit of, Borrower or any underlying obligor in respect of such item of Collateral to the extent that Borrower is not required under the underlying loan documents with Borrower's obligor to reserve, escrow, readvance or apply such proceeds for the benefit of such obligor or the underlying real property. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, such amounts paid to Lender shall be applied in reduction of the Asset-Specific Loan Balance relating to such item of Collateral. 3.02. Payments. (a) Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest and other amounts to be made by Borrower under this Loan Agreement and the Note shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Lender at an account in the United States, to be notified by MS & Co. on behalf of Lender from time to time in writing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date on which such payment shall become due (and each such payment made after such time on such due date shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Borrower acknowledges that it has no rights of withdrawal from the foregoing account. Lender shall endeavor to send Borrower a detailed bill on the date which is two (2) Business Days prior to the date on which payment is due; provided, however, that the failure of Lender to send, or of Borrower to receive, such bill shall in no way affect Borrower's obligation to pay amounts due under this Loan Agreement. (b) Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided herein, if the due date of any payment under this Loan Agreement or the Note would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall be payable for any principal so extended for the period of such extension. -20- 3.03. Computations. Interest on the Loans shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which payable. Lender shall determine any rate of interest payable on Loans hereunder, and such determination shall be conclusive and binding, absent manifest error. 3.04. U.S. Taxes. (a) Borrower agrees to pay to Lender such additional amounts as are necessary in order that the net payment of any amount due to Lender hereunder after deduction for or withholding in respect of any U.S. Tax (as defined below) imposed with respect to such payment (or in lieu thereof, payment of such U.S. Tax by Lender) or any other tax, imposition, levy or similar charge assessment against or otherwise applicable to Borrower (whether imposed by a political subdivision or agency of the United States Government, under any law or treaty in force or subsequently enacted under the laws of the Cayman Islands) or otherwise, will not be less than the amount stated herein to be then due and payable; provided that the foregoing obligation to pay such additional amounts, to the extent attributable to a U. S. Tax shall not apply: (i) to any payment to Lender hereunder unless (A) Lender is entitled to submit a Form W-8BEN (relating to Lender and entitling it to a complete exemption from withholding on all interest to be received by it hereunder in respect of the Loans) or Form W-8ECI (relating to all interest to be received by Lender hereunder in respect of the Loans), or (B) prior to such payment Lender shall have furnished to Borrower a Form W-8 (or substitute) or otherwise established an exemption from U.S. withholding tax, or (ii) to any U.S. Tax imposed solely by reason of the failure by Lender to comply with applicable certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connections with the United States of America of Lender if such compliance is required by statute or regulation of the United States of America as a precondition to relief or exemption from such U.S. Tax. For the purposes of this Section 3.04, (x) "Form W-8BEN" shall mean Form W-8BEN (Ownership, Exemption, or Reduced Rate Certificate) of the Department of the Treasury of the United States of America, (y) "Form W-8ECI" shall mean Form W-8ECI (Exemption from Withholding of Tax on Income Effectively Connected with the Conduct of a Trade or Business in the United States) of the Department of the Treasury of the United States of America (or in relation to either such Form such successor and related form as may from time to time be adopted by the relevant taxing authorities of the United States of America to document a claim to which such Form relates), and (z) "U.S. Taxes" shall mean any present or future tax, assessment or other charge or levy imposed by or on behalf of the United States of America, any political subdivision of the United States of America or any taxing authority thereof or therein. (b) Within 30 days after paying any such amount to Lender, and within 30 days after it is required by law to remit such deduction or withholding to any relevant taxing or other authority, Borrower shall deliver to Lender evidence satisfactory to Lender of such deduction, withholding or payment (as the case may be). (c) Lender shall not assign or sell participation interests in the Loans made or to be made hereunder subject to Section 2.02 and unless it shall have given prior notice to Borrower and unless a condition specified in Section 3.04(a)(i) or (ii) shall not apply. 3.05. Booking of Loans. Without limitation of Lender's rights to sell, assign or transfer a Loan or any interest therein, including any participation interest therein, at any time and from time to time, Lender may make, carry or transfer such Loan at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices -21- or the office of an Affiliate of Lender; provided, however, that the representation in Section 3.04(c) shall remain true throughout the term of such Loan. 3.06. Lender's Funding of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Borrower hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees that Lender may fund a Loan in any manner it sees fit, including (i) through the actual purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to the definition of Eurodollar Rate in an amount equal to the principal amount of such Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant interest period or (ii) through Lender's entering into or purchase of repurchase agreements, interest rate agreements, swap agreements or other arrangements in such amounts as Lender shall determine (and which amounts may or may not, in Lender's sole discretion, be "match funded" to such Loan). Calculation of all amounts payable to Lender under this Section 3.06 and under Section 3.07 shall be made as though Lender had actually funded such Loan through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to the definition of Eurodollar Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant interest period and through the transfer of such Eurodollar deposit from an off-shore office of Lender to a domestic office of Lender in the United States of America; provided, however, that Lender may fund such Loan in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 3.06 and under Section 3.07, if any. 3.07. Funding Costs. (a) Borrower shall compensate Lender, upon written request by Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), for all Funding Costs. (b) Lender shall deliver to Borrower a statement setting forth the amount and basis of determination of any Funding Cost, it being agreed that such statement and the method of calculation shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower, absent manifest error. In addition, in the event Borrower provides Lender not less than five (5) Business Days prior written notice of a proposed voluntary prepayment hereunder, Lender shall deliver to Borrower a non-binding good faith estimate of the applicable components and amount of Funding Costs which would be incurred by Borrower if Borrower were to make a voluntary prepayment hereunder; provided, however, that Borrower shall remain liable for all Funding Costs shown on the statement referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (b), notwithstanding such good faith estimate. (c) In lieu of prepaying the Loan when and as otherwise required or permitted by this Loan Agreement, Borrower may on any Business Day (a "Deposit Funding Date") instead deposit with Lender an amount equal to the applicable prepayment, to be held by Lender (the "Prepayment Deposit") until such date as application of the Prepayment Deposit on account of the Loan would not cause Lender to suffer Funding Costs (the "Deposit Application Date"). Any Prepayment Deposit held by Lender shall: (a) constitute additional security for the Loan, for which the parties shall enter into such security documents (and account establishment and administration documents) as Lender shall require; (b) be held by Lender in an interest-bearing account selected and controlled solely by Lender, interest on which shall be added to principal and applied in the same manner as principal; (c) at Lender's option, be accompanied by a payment (as estimated by Lender) equal to the difference between the interest to be earned on the Prepayment Deposit and the interest that will accrue on a portion of the Loan equal to the Prepayment Deposit during the period from the Deposit Funding Date to the Deposit Application Date; (d) with respect to the Collateral, entitle Borrower to the same rights and benefits (including the right to releases, if any) that would have been available to Borrower if Borrower had prepaid the Loan (and designated Asset-Specific Loan Balance(s)) by an amount equal to the Prepayment Deposit; and (e) be applied on account of the Loan (principal and interest) on the Deposit Application Date. 3.08. Compensation for Increased Costs. If Lender shall in good faith determine that any change in any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, or any determination of a court or governmental authority, or -22- compliance with any guideline, request or directive issued or made by any central bank or other governmental or quasi-governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law): (a) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender; or (b) imposes any other condition on or affecting Lender or its obligations hereunder or the interbank Eurodollar market; (c) and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining the Loan hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by Lender with respect thereto; then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly (but in any event no later than five (5) Business Days following any notice from Lender of the same) pay to Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to compensate Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Lender shall deliver to Borrower a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 3.08, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. 3.09. Limitation on Types of Loans; Illegality. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if: (a) Lender determines, which determination shall be conclusive, that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of "Eurodollar Base Rate" in Section 1.01 hereof are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for Loans as provided herein; or (b) Lender determines, which determination shall be conclusive, that the relevant rate of interest referred to in the definition of "Eurodollar Base Rate" in Section 1.01 hereof upon the basis of which the rate of interest for Loans is to be determined is not likely adequate to cover the cost to Lender of making or maintaining Loans; or (c) Lender determines, which determination shall be conclusive, that it is or will be unlawful for Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain Loans hereunder using a Eurodollar Rate as a result of compliance by Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful); then Lender shall give Borrower prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, Lender shall be under no obligation to make additional Loans, and Borrower shall, either prepay all such Loans as may be outstanding or pay interest on such Loans at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Substitute Rate. Section 4. Collateral Security. 4.01. Collateral; Security Interest. (a) Borrower hereby assigns, pledges and grants a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Collateral described in Section 4.01(b) below to Lender to secure the repayment of principal of and interest on all Loans and all other amounts owing to Lender hereunder, under the Note, under the other Loan Documents and any and all MS Indebtedness from time to time -23- outstanding (collectively, the "Secured Obligations"). Borrower agrees to mark its computer records to evidence the interests granted to Lender hereunder. (b) All of Borrower's right, title and interest in, to and under each of the following items of property pledged by Borrower to Lender from time to time and whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located, is hereinafter individually and collectively referred to as the "Collateral": (i) all CMBS and Other Approved Collateral; (ii) all Collateral Documents, including without limitation all securities, promissory notes, any collateral pledged or otherwise relating to such Collateral, all representations and warranties made to, or for the benefit of, Borrower by any Collateral Obligor, all Servicing Records (as defined in Section 11.14(b) below) and servicing agreements, together with all files, documents, instruments, surveys, certificates, correspondence, appraisals, computer programs, computer storage media, accounting records and other books and records relating thereto, in each case subject to prior liens and encumbrances permitted by Lender; (iii) all guaranties and insurance (issued by governmental agencies or otherwise) and any insurance certificate or other document evidencing such guaranties or insurance relating to any Collateral and all claims and payments thereunder; (iv) all other insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any Collateral or the related Property; (v) all Interest Rate Protection Agreements; (vi) the Collection Account and all monies from time to time on deposit in the Collection Account; (vii) all "general intangibles", "accounts" and "chattel paper" as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code relating to or constituting any and all of the foregoing; and (viii) any and all replacements, substitutions, distributions on, or proceeds (including, without limitation, condemnation proceeds) of, any and all of the foregoing set forth in items (i) through (vii) of this Section 4.01(b), whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located. (c) Pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, Custodian shall hold the Collateral Documents as exclusive bailee and agent for Lender pursuant to terms of the Custodial Agreement and shall deliver to Lender Trust Receipts each to the effect that it has reviewed such Collateral Documents in the manner and to the extent required by the Custodial Agreement and identifying any deficiencies in such Collateral Documents as so reviewed. 4.02. Further Assurances. (a) Borrower shall undertake, with respect to each item of Collateral pledged hereunder as security for a Loan, any and all actions deemed necessary by Lender for the granting by Borrower to Lender of a valid first priority security interest in such Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower shall take such steps as are necessary for the granting and perfection of a first priority security interest in Securities and related Collateral. (b) At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Lender, and at the sole expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly and duly execute and deliver, or will promptly cause to be executed and delivered, such further instruments and documents and take such further action as Lender may reasonably request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Loan -24- Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, without limitation, the filing of any financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the Liens created hereby. Borrower also hereby authorizes Lender to file any such financing or continuation statement without the signature of Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Loan Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement for filing in any jurisdiction. 4.03. Changes in Locations, Name, etc. Borrower shall not (i) change the location of its chief executive office/chief place of business from that specified in Section 6 hereof or (ii) change its name, identity or corporate structure (or the equivalent) or change the location where it maintains its records with respect to the Collateral unless it shall have given Lender at least ten (10) days prior written notice thereof and shall have delivered to Lender all Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and amendments thereto as Lender shall request and taken all other actions deemed necessary by Lender to continue its perfected status in the Collateral with the same or better priority. 4.04. Lender's Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact. (a) Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Borrower and in the name of Borrower or in its own name, from time to time in Lender's discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Loan Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Loan Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower hereby gives Lender the power and right, on behalf of Borrower, without assent by, but with notice to, Borrower, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to do the following: (i) in the name of Borrower or its own name, or otherwise, to take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any mortgage insurance or with respect to any other Collateral and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by Lender for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any such mortgage insurance or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable; (ii) to pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral; and (iii) (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to Lender or as Lender shall direct; (B) to ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (C) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any part thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (E) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Borrower with respect to any Collateral; (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Lender may deem appropriate; and (G) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though Lender were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Lender's option and Borrower's expense, at any time, and from time to time, all acts and things which Lender deems reasonably -25- necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and Lender's Liens thereon and to effect the intent of this Loan Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Borrower might do. Borrower hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the repayment in full of all Secured Obligations hereunder. (b) Borrower also authorizes Lender, at any time and from time to time, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 4.07 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral. (c) The powers conferred on Lender are solely to protect Lender's interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Lender to exercise any such powers. Lender shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither Lender nor any of its officers, directors, or employees shall be responsible to Borrower for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 4.05. Performance by Lender of Borrower's Obligations. If Borrower fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained in the Loan Documents to which it is a party and Lender may itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the expenses of Lender incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Post-Default Rate, shall be payable by Borrower to Lender on demand and shall constitute Secured Obligations. 4.06. Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, (a) all proceeds of Collateral received by Borrower consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by Borrower in trust for Lender, segregated from other funds of Borrower, and, within two (2) Business Days of receipt by Borrower, shall be turned over to Lender in the exact form received by Borrower (duly endorsed by Borrower to Lender, if required, in order to be negotiated by Lender), and (b) any and all such proceeds received by Lender (whether from Borrower or otherwise) may, in the sole discretion of Lender, be held by Lender as collateral security for, and/or then or at any time thereafter may be applied by Lender against, the Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured), such application to be in such order as Lender shall elect. Any balance of such proceeds remaining after the Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full and this Loan Agreement shall have been terminated shall be paid over to Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. For purposes hereof, proceeds shall include, but not be limited to, all principal and interest payments, all prepayments and payoffs, insurance claims, condemnation awards, sale proceeds, real estate owned rents and any other income and all other amounts received with respect to the Collateral. 4.07. Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Lender may, at its option, enter into one or more Interest Rate Protection Agreements covering all or a portion of the Mortgage Loans or Mezzanine Loans pledged to Lender hereunder, and Borrower shall be responsible for all damages, judgment costs and expenses of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Lender relating to or arising out of such Interest Rate Protection Agreements; including without limitation any losses resulting from such Interest Rate Protection Agreements. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Lender may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Loan Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon Borrower or any other Person (each and all of which demands, presentments, protests, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may -26- forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels or as an entirety at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker's board or office of Lender or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Borrower, which right or equity is hereby waived or released. Borrower further agrees, at Lender's request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at places which Lender shall reasonably select, whether at Borrower's premises or elsewhere. Lender shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of Lender hereunder, including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in such order as Lender may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by Lender of any other amount required or permitted by any provision of law, including without limitation Section 9-608 (a)(1)(c) of the Uniform Commercial Code, need Lender account for the surplus, if any, to Borrower. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against Lender arising out of the exercise by Lender of any of its rights hereunder, other than those claims, damages and demands arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency (plus accrued interest thereon as contemplated pursuant to Section 3.01(b) hereof) if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral (net of costs incurred in connection with such sale or other disposition) are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by Lender to collect such deficiency. 4.08. Limitation on Duties Regarding Preservation of Collateral. Lender's duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as Lender deals with similar property for its own account. Neither Lender nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Borrower or otherwise. 4.09. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest. 4.10. Release of Security Interest. Upon termination of this Loan Agreement and the Conduit Loan Agreement and repayment to Lender of all Secured Obligations and the performance of all obligations under the Loan Documents and under the Conduit Loan Agreement, Lender shall release its security interest in any remaining Collateral. 4.11. Release of Collateral. Provided that no Default or Event of Default shall exist (other than one that (a) relates solely to the Collateral to be released and (b) will be cured simultaneously with such release) and that Borrower shall have paid all sums then due under the Loan relating thereto, upon (i) Borrower's payment in full of the Asset-Specific Loan Balance with respect to a portion of the Collateral and (ii) receipt by Lender of a written request from Borrower for the release of such Collateral, Lender shall as soon as practicable release (and Lender shall reasonably cooperate with Borrower to facilitate reasonable escrow arrangements to facilitate a simultaneous release of) the related Collateral Documents and the related Collateral and any liens related thereto to Borrower or, to the extent necessary -27- to facilitate future savings of mortgage tax in states that impose mortgage taxes, assign such liens as Borrower shall request; provided, that any such assignments shall be without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind except that Lender shall represent and warrant that such Collateral has not been previously assigned by Lender. Lender shall with reasonable promptness, after a written request from Borrower, execute any document or instrument necessary to effectuate such release or assignment. 4.12. Substitution of Eligible Collateral. From time to time until the Custodian is otherwise notified by the Lender, which notice shall be given by the Lender only during the existence of an Event of Default, and with the prior written consent of the Lender, the Borrower may substitute for one or more items of Eligible Collateral constituting the Collateral with one or more substitute items of Eligible Collateral having aggregate Collateral Value equal to or greater than the Collateral Value of the Collateral being substituted for, or obtain the release of one or more items of Collateral constituting Collateral hereunder: provided that, after giving effect to such substitution or release, the Secured Obligations then outstanding shall not exceed the Borrowing Base, which determination shall be made solely by the Lender. In connection with any such requested substitution or release, the Borrower will provide notice to the Custodian and the Lender no later than 3:00 p.m. New York City time, on the date of such request, specifying the items of Collateral to be substituted for or released and the items of substitute Collateral to be pledged hereunder in substitution thereof, if any, and shall deliver with such notice a Custodial Identification Certificate and a revised Collateral Schedule indicating any substitute Collateral. Section 5. Conditions Precedent. 5.01. Initial Loan. The obligation of Lender to make its initial Loan hereunder is subject to the satisfaction, immediately prior to or concurrently with the making of such Loan, of the condition precedent that Lender shall have received all of the following items and documents, each of which shall be satisfactory to Lender and its counsel in form and substance: (a) Loan Documents.

Additional Requirements. (a) Borrower and Lender recognize and agree that the categories of Collateral set forth in the Recital paragraph hereof and defined herein as categories of assets which may be submitted by Borrower to Lender for review by Lender as Eligible Collateral hereunder are general in nature and that the full scope of such Collateral categories may be unknown. Consequently, the appropriate requirements are not fully known for (i) the documents to be provided by Borrower for underwriting and due diligence review by Lender and (ii) submittals by Borrower in order to create and perfect a first priority security interest in the Collateral. Therefore, Borrower and Lender agree that, as a further condition precedent to funding a Loan in respect of any Collateral hereunder, Borrower shall have delivered to Lender all information and documents determined by Lender in good faith to be required for its underwriting and examination of such Collateral and for the granting and perfection of a first priority security interest therein. (b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing Section 5.03(a), Borrower shall execute and deliver all documents necessary for the granting of a first priority security interest in any Collateral determined by Lender to be Eligible Collateral hereunder, including without limitation (i) all instruments evidencing indebtedness payable to Borrower or pledged to Borrower as security for a loan, (ii) all instruments granting or perfecting a security interest for the benefit of Borrower or pledged to Borrower as security for a loan (including, without limitation, collateral assignments, pledge agreements and UCC financing statements), (iii) all instruments evidencing an interest in an entity pledged to Borrower as security for a loan (including, without limitation, partnership interests, shares of corporate stock, participation interests, and other beneficial interests of any kind), (iv) all instruments guaranteeing the repayment of indebtedness owed to Borrower, or pledged to Borrower for the repayment of a Loan and (v) all agreements among holders of debt or equity interests providing for a priority among such parties of interests in related assets forming the basis of an item of Collateral. 5.04. Tax Opinion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees to deliver to Lender no later than August 3, 2001, "Tax Opinion" of Borrower's counsel, in such form as is reasonably acceptable to Lender concluding that no Borrower will be treated as engaged in a trade or business within the United States. Section 6. Representations and Warranties. Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that from and after the First Anniversary and throughout the term of this Loan Agreement: 6.01. Existence. Borrower (a) is a company duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, (b) has all requisite power, and has all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals necessary to own its assets and carry on its business as now being or as proposed to be conducted, except where the lack of such licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on its Property, business or financial condition or prospects; and (c) is qualified to do business, validly existing and is, to the extent determinable, in good standing, in all other jurisdictions in which the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except where failure so to qualify would not be reasonably likely (either individually or in the aggregate) to have a Material Adverse Effect on its Property, business or financial condition or prospects. 6.02. Action. Borrower has all necessary power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party; the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary action on its part; and each Loan Document to which it is a -31- party has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Borrower and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms. 6.03. Litigation. There are no actions, suits, arbitrations, investigations (including, without limitation, any of the foregoing which are pending or threatened) or other legal or arbitrable proceedings affecting Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or affecting any of the Property of any of them before any Governmental Authority that (i) questions or challenges the validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or any action to be taken in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) makes a claim or claims in an aggregate amount greater than $5,000,000, (iii) which, individually or in the aggregate, if adversely determined, could reasonably be likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (iv) requires filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with the 1934 Act or any rules thereunder. 6.04. No Breach. Neither (a) the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents to which it is a party nor (b) the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated in compliance with the terms and provisions thereof will conflict with or result in a breach of the Borrower By-Laws or the certificate of incorporation of Borrower, or any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority, or any Servicing Agreement or other material agreement or instrument to which Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them or any of their Property is bound or to which any of them is subject, or constitute a default under any such material agreement or instrument or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (except for the Liens created pursuant to this Loan Agreement) upon any Collateral pursuant to the terms of any such agreement or instrument. 6.05. Approvals. No authorizations, approvals or consents of, and no filings or registrations with, any Governmental Authority or any securities exchange are necessary for the execution, delivery or performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party or for the legality, validity or enforceability thereof, except for filings and recordings in respect of the Liens created pursuant to this Loan Agreement. 6.06. Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. Neither the making of any Loan hereunder, nor the use of the proceeds thereof, will violate or be inconsistent with any provisions of Regulation T, U or X. In addition, no part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly, indirectly, immediately, incidentally or ultimately (i) to purchase or carry any "margin stock" within the meaning of Regulation U or to refund indebtedness originally incurred for such purpose, or (ii) for any purpose which entails a violation of, or is inconsistent with, such Regulation U or any other regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or (iii) for any purposes prohibited by any applicable law, order, rule, regulation, ordinance or similar code or restriction. If requested by Lender, the Borrower, any applicable Affiliate or Subsidiary of Borrower and the recipient of any portion of the proceeds all or any portion of any Loan shall furnish to Lender a statement on Federal Reserve Form G-3 referred to in Regulation U. 6.07. Taxes. Borrower and its Subsidiaries have filed all Federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns that are required to be filed by them and have paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by any of them, except for any such taxes as are being appropriately contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and with respect to which adequate reserves have been provided. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of Borrower and its Subsidiaries in respect of taxes and other governmental charges are, in the opinion of Borrower, adequate. 6.08. Investment Company Act. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is an "investment company", or a company "controlled" by an "investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. -32- 6.09. Collateral; Collateral Security. (a) Borrower has not assigned, pledged, or otherwise conveyed or encumbered any Collateral to any other Person other than an Additional Borrower, and immediately prior to the pledge of such Collateral to Lender, unless otherwise approved by Lender in writing, either Initial Borrower or the applicable Additional Borrower, as the case may be, was the sole owner of such Collateral and had good and marketable title thereto, free and clear of all Liens, in each case except for Liens to be released simultaneously with the Liens granted in favor of Lender hereunder.

Borrower hereby acknowledges that: (a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Loan Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents; (b) Lender has no fiduciary relationship to Borrower, and the relationship between Borrower and Lender is solely that of debtor and creditor; and (c) no joint venture exists between Lender and Borrower. 11.13. Hypothecation or Pledge of Loans. Lender shall have free and unrestricted use of all Collateral and nothing in this Loan Agreement shall preclude Lender from engaging in repurchase -42- transactions with the Collateral or otherwise pledging, repledging, transferring, hypothecating, or rehypothecating the Collateral or pledging or otherwise transferring its rights to payment hereunder in respect of any Loan made hereunder; provided, that no action by Lender referred to in this sentence shall confer on any Person other than Lender any right against Borrower to require any prepayment under Section 2.04 hereof or any right to enforce against Borrower any other provision of this Loan Agreement, but may grant to any Person the right to require Lender to enforce any such provisions. Nothing contained in this Loan Agreement shall obligate Lender to segregate any Collateral delivered to Lender by Borrower. 11.14. Servicing. (a) Borrower covenants to maintain or cause the servicing of the Collateral to be maintained with respect to each type of Collateral pledged to Lender hereunder in conformity with accepted and prudent servicing practices in the industry for such same type of Collateral and in a manner at least equal in quality to the servicing Borrower provides for assets similar to such Collateral which it owns. In the event that the preceding language is interpreted as constituting one or more servicing contracts, each such servicing contract shall terminate automatically upon the earliest of (i) an Event of Default, (ii) the date on which all the Secured Obligations have been paid in full or (iii) the transfer of servicing approved by Borrower and Lender, which Lender's consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Midland Loan Services, Inc. ("Midland") shall be the initial servicer. (b) If the Collateral, or any portion thereof, is serviced by Borrower, (i) Borrower agrees that Lender is the collateral assignee of all servicing records, including but not limited to any and all servicing agreements, files, documents, records, data bases, computer tapes, copies of computer tapes, proof of insurance coverage, insurance policies, appraisals, other closing documentation, payment history records, and any other records relating to or evidencing the servicing of such Collateral (the "Servicing Records"), and (ii) Borrower grants Lender a security interest in all servicing fees and rights relating to such Collateral and all Servicing Records to secure the obligation of Borrower or its designee to service in conformity with this Section and any other obligation of Borrower to Lender. Borrower covenants to safeguard such Servicing Records and to deliver them promptly to Lender or its designee (including Custodian) at Lender's request. (c) If the Collateral, or any portion thereof, is serviced by a third party servicer (such third party servicer, the "Servicer"), Borrower (i) shall provide a copy of the servicing agreement to Lender, which shall be in form and substance acceptable to Lender (the "Servicing Agreement"); and (ii) hereby irrevocably assigns to Lender and Lender's successors and assigns all right, title, interest of Borrower in, to and under, and the benefits of, any Servicing Agreement with respect to such Collateral. Any successor to the Servicer shall be approved in writing by Lender prior to such successor's assumption of servicing obligations with respect to such Collateral. The Travelers Real Estate Investment Group ("Travelers") is hereby approved as a Servicer, subject to (x) there having occurred no materially adverse change in Travelers' ability to perform as Servicer prior to the date of Lender's approval hereunder of any servicing agreement between Borrower and Travelers and (y) the satisfaction by Borrower of clause (i) hereof and the delivery by Borrower to Lender of such additional documentation as Lender may require to further evidence the security interest granted to Lender by Borrower in Borrower's interest in any servicing agreement entered into between Borrower and Travelers. (d) Borrower shall provide to Lender a letter from Borrower (if Borrower is the Servicer) or the Servicer, as the case may be, to the effect that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may terminate any Servicing Agreement and transfer servicing to its designee, at no cost or expense to Lender, it being agreed that Borrower will pay any and all fees required to terminate the Servicing Agreement and to effectuate the transfer of servicing to the designee of Lender. -43- (e) After the Funding Date, until the pledge of any Collateral is relinquished by Custodian, Borrower will have no right to modify or alter the terms of any of the documents pertaining to such Collateral and Borrower will have no obligation or right to repossess such Collateral or substitute other Collateral, except as provided in the Custodial Agreement; provided, however, that so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may enter into such modifications of the terms of such documents as do not, as to any individual item of Collateral, (i) result in a negative monetary effect or (ii) constitute a material adverse effect. (f) In the event Borrower or its Affiliate is servicing any Collateral, Borrower shall permit Lender to inspect Borrower's or its Affiliate's servicing facilities, as the case may be, for the purpose of satisfying Lender that Borrower or its Affiliate, as the case may be, has the ability to service such Collateral as provided in this Loan Agreement. (g) Borrower shall cause the Servicer to provide a copy of each report and notice sent to Borrower to be sent to Lender concurrently therewith. 11.15. Periodic Due Diligence Review. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Collateral, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, or determining and re-determining the Borrowing Base under Section 2.04(a) hereof, or otherwise, and Borrower agrees that Lender, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on any or all of the Collateral securing the Loans, including, without limitation, ordering new credit reports and Appraisals on the applicable Collateral and otherwise regenerating the information used to originate such Eligible Collateral. Upon reasonable (but no less than one (1) Business Day) prior notice to Borrower, Lender or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of, the Collateral Files and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Collateral in the possession or under the control of Borrower and/or Custodian. Borrower also shall make available to Lender a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Collateral Files and the Collateral. Borrower agrees to cooperate with Lender and any third party underwriter designated by Lender in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Lender and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Collateral in the possession, or under the control, of Borrower. Borrower further agrees that Borrower shall reimburse Lender for any and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with Lender's activities pursuant to this Section 11.15. 11.16. Intent. The parties recognize that each Loan is a "securities contract" as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended. 11.17. Change of Borrower's State of Formation. If Borrower shall change the State or Country under whose laws Borrower shall be incorporated and organized, Borrower shall promptly provide Lender with a copy of its new Declaration of Trust, Articles of Incorporation or similar document, certified by the Secretary of State or other appropriate official of Borrower's new State or Country of formation, if applicable, together with such opinions of counsel regarding such change as Lender, in its sole discretion, shall require. 11.18. Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by this Loan Agreement and by law, Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or -44- unmatured, at any time held or owing by Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Borrower. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off and application made by Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. 11.19. Morgan Stanley Downgrade. In the event (a) Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co.'s corporate bond rating as calculated by S&P or Moody's shall have been lowered or downgraded to a rating below A- as indicated by S&P or below A3 as indicated by Moody's and (b) Borrower shall have repaid all amounts owing to Lender under this agreement written ninety (90) days following such downgrade, Lender shall refund to Borrower a portion of the sum of (i) the fee paid to Lender pursuant to Section 5.01(a)(ii) hereof and (ii) the Maximum Credit Increase Fee paid to Lender hereunder, if any, in an amount equal to the product of (1) such sum multiplied by (2) 30 basis points (0.30%) multiplied by (3) the quotient of (x) the number of days remaining to, and including, the Termination Date divided by (y) the number of days from and after the date hereof to, and including, the Termination Date. 11.20. Special Purpose Entity. Borrower shall: (a) not own any assets nor engage in any business other than owning the assets and engaging in the transactions specifically contemplated hereunder and under every other document to be executed pursuant to this Loan Agreement; (b) not incur any indebtedness or obligation, secured or unsecured, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent (including any guarantee thereof), other than pursuant hereto; (c) not make any loans or advances to any third party, and shall not acquire obligations or securities of any of its Affiliates; (d) pay its debts and liabilities (including, as applicable, shared personnel and overhead expenses) only from its own assets; (e) comply with the provisions of its organizational documents; (f) do all things necessary to observe organizational formalities and to preserve its existence, and will not amend, modify or otherwise change its organizational documents, or suffer same to be amended, modified or otherwise changed without the prior written consent of Lender which shall not be unreasonably withheld; (g) maintain all of its books, records, financial statements and bank accounts separate from those of its Affiliates; (h) be, and at all times will hold itself out to the public as, a legal entity separate and distinct from any other entity (including any of its Affiliates), shall correct any known misunderstanding regarding its status as a separate entity, shall conduct business in its own name, shall not identify itself or any of its Affiliates as a division or part of the other and shall maintain and utilize separate stationary, invoices and checks; (i) maintain adequate capital for the normal obligations reasonably foreseeable in a business of its size and character and in light of its contemplated business operations; (j) not engage in or suffer any change of ownership, dissolution, winding up, liquidation, consolidation or merger in whole or in part; (k) not commingle its funds or other assets with those of any of its Affiliates or any other Person; (l) maintain its assets in such a manner that it will not be costly or difficult to segregate, ascertain or identify its individual assets from those of any of its Affiliates or any other Person; and (n) cause each of its direct and indirect owners to agree not to (i) file or consent to the filing of any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization case or proceeding with respect to Borrower; institute any proceedings under any applicable insolvency law or otherwise seek any relief under any laws relating to the relief from debts or the protection of debtors generally with respect to Borrower; (ii) seek or consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequester, custodian or any similar official for Borrower or a substantial portion of its properties; or (iii) make any assignment for the benefit of Borrower's creditors. 11.21. Joint and Several Liability. In the event of the existence of an Additional Borrower, Initial Borrower and each Additional Borrower hereby acknowledge and agree that each entity shall be jointly and severally liable to Lender for all representations, warranties, covenants, obligations and indemnities of Borrower hereunder.

Lender's failure to respond to Borrower within five (5) Business Days following receipt of all Diligence Materials or Lender's written waiver thereof shall be deemed to be a denial of Borrower's request for an advance, unless Lender and Borrower have agreed otherwise in writing. Nothing in this Section 2.03(a)(ii) or elsewhere in this Loan Agreement shall, or be deemed to, prohibit Lender from determining in its sole discretion the adequacy, correctness and appropriateness of, or from disapproving, any and all financial and other underwriting data required to be supplied by Borrower under this Loan Agreement.

The terms of delivery and filing and/or recordation of such security documents shall be set forth in a separate agreement between Lender and its designee.

So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, all partial repayments shall be applied against the Asset-Specific Loan Balance relating to the Loan being repaid. (b) If at any time under any Collateral Document evidencing Eligible Collateral (x) there is an Event of Default, or event with which the giving of notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default, or (y) any representation or warranty made by or on behalf of the relevant Collateral Obligor becomes false or misleading in any material respect or (z) the relevant Collateral Obligor fails to perform or observe any material covenant or other obligation, Lender may, in its sole discretion and without regard to any determination of the Asset Value of such Eligible Collateral, notify Borrower of such occurrence and may require that the Asset-Specific Loan Balance related to the relevant Eligible Collateral be prepaid in whole or in part in the determination of Lender. Not later than one (1) Business Day after the receipt of such notice, Borrower shall prepay the Asset-Specific Loan Balance related to such Eligible Collateral. Lender may, in its sole discretion, determine and re-determine the amount to be prepaid irrespective of whether or not any statement of fact contained in any Officer's Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.02(b) or (ii) any representation of Borrower set forth in Section 6.12 was true to Borrower's actual knowledge.

Any repayment of the principal of the Loans made by Borrower to Lender subsequent to an Installment Date shall be credited at the time of such payment and applied to the payment due on next succeeding Installment Date. (b) Borrower hereby promises to pay to Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan for the period from and including the date of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate plus the applicable Eurodollar Rate Spread. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower hereby promises to pay to Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the applicable Post-Default Rate on any principal of any Loan and on any other amount payable by Borrower hereunder or under the Note that shall not be paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or by mandatory prepayment or otherwise) for the period from and including the due date thereof to but excluding the date the same is paid in full. Payment and acceptance of interest pursuant to this subsection shall not constitute a waiver of any Default and shall not otherwise limit or prejudice any right of Lender hereunder. In no event shall Lender be entitled to receive any proceeds received from any Collateral Obligor in connection with the refinancing and/or final distribution to Lender with respect to any Eligible Collateral to the extent same exceeds the sums provided to be paid to Lender under Section 7.l5 of this Loan Agreement. (c) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first Business Day of each month and for the last month of the Loan Agreement on the first Business Day of such last month and on the Termination Date, except that interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall accrue daily and shall be payable upon such accrual. (d) The Loans may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time upon two (2) Business Days prior written notice, without any penalty or premium; provided, however, that any such prepayment shall be accompanied by an amount representing accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid and all other amounts then due under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all amounts due under Section 3 hereof). Each partial prepayment that is voluntary (as opposed to mandatory under the terms of this Loan Agreement) shall be in an amount of not less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, each voluntary prepayment shall be applied to reduce any Asset-Specific Loan Balance as designated by Borrower to Lender in writing. (e) With respect to any item of Collateral, Borrower shall repay to Lender an amount equal to the amount of casualty or condemnation proceeds paid to, or for the benefit of, Borrower or any underlying obligor in respect of such item of Collateral to the extent that Borrower is not required under the underlying loan documents with Borrower's obligor to reserve, escrow, readvance or apply such proceeds for the benefit of such obligor or the underlying real property. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, such amounts paid to Lender shall be applied in reduction of the Asset-Specific Loan Balance relating to such item of Collateral. -19- 3.02 Payments. (a) Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest and other amounts to be made by Borrower under this Loan Agreement and the Note shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Lender at the following account maintained by Lender: Account No. 40615114, for the account of MSMCI, Citibank, N.A., ABA No. 021000089, Attn: Whole Loan Operations, Mortgage-Backed Securities Department, Fixed Income Division, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date on which such payment shall become due (and each such payment made after such time on such due date shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Borrower acknowledges that it has no rights of withdrawal from the foregoing account. Lender shall endeavor to send Borrower a detailed bill on the date which is two (2) Business Days prior to the date on which payment is due; provided, however, that the failure of Lender to send, or of Borrower to receive, such bill shall in no way affect Borrower's obligation to pay amounts due under this Loan Agreement. (b) Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided herein, if the due date of any payment under this Loan Agreement or the Note would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall be payable for any principal so extended for the period of such extension. 3.03 Computations. Interest on the Loans shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which payable. Lender shall determine any rate of interest payable on Loans hereunder, and such determination shall be conclusive and binding, absent manifest error. 3.04 U.S. Taxes. (a) Borrower agrees to pay to Lender such additional amounts as are necessary in order that the net payment of any amount due to Lender hereunder after deduction for or withholding in respect of any U.S. Tax (as defined below) imposed with respect to such payment (or in lieu thereof, payment of such U.S. Tax by Lender) or any other tax, imposition, levy or similar charge or assessment against or otherwise applicable to Borrower (whether imposed by a political subdivision or agency of the United States Government, under any law or treaty in force or subsequently enacted under the laws of the Cayman Islands) or otherwise, will not be less than the amount stated herein to be then due and payable; provided that the foregoing obligation to pay such additional amounts, to the extent attributable to a U.S. Tax, shall not apply: (i) to any payment to Lender hereunder unless Lender is entitled to submit a Form W-8BEN (relating to Lender and entitling it to a complete exemption from withholding on all interest to be received by it hereunder in respect of the Loans) or Form W-8ECI (relating to all interest to be received by Lender hereunder in respect of the Loans), or (ii) to any U.S. Tax imposed solely by reason of the failure by Lender to comply with applicable certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connections with the United States of America of Lender if such compliance is required by statute or regulation of the United States of America as a precondition to relief or exemption from such U.S. Tax. For the purposes of this Section 3.04, (x) "Form W-8BEN" shall mean Form W-8BEN (Ownership, Exemption, or Reduced Rate Certificate) of the Department of the Treasury of the United States of America, (y) "Form W-8ECI" shall mean Form W-8ECI (Exemption from Withholding of Tax on Income Effectively Connected with the Conduct of a Trade or Business in the United States) of the Department of the Treasury of the United States of America (or in relation to either such Form such successor and related form as may from time to time be adopted by the relevant taxing authorities of the United States of America to document a claim to which such Form relates), and (z) "U.S. Taxes" shall mean any present or -20- future tax, assessment or other charge or levy imposed by or on behalf of the United States of America, any political subdivision of the United States of America or any taxing authority thereof or therein. (b) Within 30 days after paying any such amount to Lender, and within 30 days after it is required by law to remit such deduction or withholding to any relevant taxing or other authority, Borrower shall deliver to Lender evidence satisfactory to Lender of such deduction, withholding or payment (as the case may be). (c) Lender represents and warrants to Borrower that on the date hereof Lender is either incorporated under the laws of the United States or a State thereof or is entitled to submit a Form W-8BEN (relating to Lender and entitling it to a complete exemption from withholding on all interest to be received by it hereunder in respect of the Loans) or Form W-8ECI (relating to all interest to be received by Lender hereunder in respect of the Loans). Lender shall not assign or sell participation interests in the Loans made or to be made hereunder to a foreign bank if as a result thereof Lender shall be unable to make the representations set forth in this Section 3.04(c). 3.05 Booking of Loans. Without limitation of Lender's rights to sell, assign or transfer a Loan or any interest therein, including any participation interest therein, at any time and from time to time, Lender may make, carry or transfer such Loan at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of Lender; provided, however, that the representation in Section 3.04(c) shall remain true throughout the term of such Loan. 3.06 Lender's Funding of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Borrower hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees that Lender may fund a Loan in any manner it sees fit, including (i) through the actual purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to the definition of Eurodollar Rate in an amount equal to the principal amount of such Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant interest period or (ii) through Lender's entering into or purchase of repurchase agreements, interest rate agreements, swap agreements or other arrangements in such amounts as Lender shall determine (and which amounts may or may not, in Lender's sole discretion, be "match funded" to such Loan). Calculation of all amounts payable to Lender under this Section 3.06 and under Section 3.07 shall be made as though Lender had actually funded such Loan through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to the definition of Eurodollar Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant interest period and through the transfer of such Eurodollar deposit from an off-shore office of Lender to a domestic office of Lender in the United States of America; provided, however, that Lender may fund such Loan in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 3.06 and under Section 3.07, if any. 3.07 Funding Costs. (a) Borrower shall compensate Lender, upon written request by Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), for all Funding Costs. (b) Lender shall deliver to Borrower a statement setting forth the amount and basis of determination of any Funding Cost, it being agreed that such statement and the method of calculation shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower, absent manifest error. In addition, in the event Borrower provides Lender not less than five (5) Business Days prior written notice of a proposed voluntary prepayment hereunder, Lender shall deliver to Borrower a non-binding good faith estimate of the applicable components and amount of Funding Costs which would be incurred by Borrower if Borrower were to make a voluntary prepayment hereunder; provided, however, that Borrower shall remain liable for all Funding Costs shown on the statement referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (b), notwithstanding such good faith estimate. (c) In lieu of prepaying the Loan when and as otherwise required or permitted by this Loan Agreement, Borrower may on any Business Day (a "Deposit Funding Date") instead deposit with Lender an amount equal to the applicable prepayment, to be held by Lender (the "Prepayment Deposit") -21- until such date as application of the Prepayment Deposit on account of the Loan would not cause Lender to suffer Funding Costs (the "Deposit Application Date"). Any Prepayment Deposit held by Lender shall: (a) constitute additional security for the Loan, for which the parties shall enter into such security documents (and account establishment and administration documents) as Lender shall require; (b) be held by Lender in an interest-bearing account selected and controlled solely by Lender, interest on which shall be added to principal and applied in the same manner as principal; (c) at Lender's option, be accompanied by a payment (as estimated by Lender) equal to the difference between the interest to be earned on the Prepayment Deposit and the interest that will accrue on a portion of the Loan equal to the Prepayment Deposit during the period from the Deposit Funding Date to the Deposit Application Date; (d) with respect to the Collateral, entitle Borrower to the same rights and benefits (including the right to releases, if any) that would have been available to Borrower if Borrower had prepaid the Loan (and designated Asset-Specific Loan Balance(s)) by an amount equal to the Prepayment Deposit; and (e) be applied on account of the Loan (principal and interest) on the Deposit Application Date. 3.08 Compensation for Increased Costs. If Lender shall in good faith determine that any change in any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, or any determination of a court or governmental authority, or compliance with any guideline, request or directive issued or made by any central bank or other governmental or quasi-governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law): (a) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender; or (b) imposes any other condition on or affecting Lender or its obligations hereunder or the interbank Eurodollar market; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining the Loan hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by Lender with respect thereto; then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly (but in any event no later than five (5) Business Days following any notice from Lender of the same) pay to Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to compensate Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Lender shall deliver to Borrower a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 3.08, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. 3.09 Limitation on Types of Loans; Illegality. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if: (a) Lender determines, which determination shall be conclusive, that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of "Eurodollar Base Rate" in Section 1.01 hereof are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for Loans as provided herein; or (b) Lender determines, which determination shall be conclusive, that the relevant rate of interest referred to in the definition of "Eurodollar Base Rate" in Section 1.01 hereof upon the basis of which the rate of interest for Loans is to be determined is not likely adequate to cover the cost to Lender of making or maintaining Loans; or (c) Lender determines, which determination shall be conclusive, that it is or will be unlawful for Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain Loans hereunder using a Eurodollar Rate as a result of compliance by Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, -22- guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful); then Lender shall give Borrower prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, Lender shall be under no obligation to make additional Loans, and Borrower shall, either prepay all such Loans as may be outstanding or pay interest on such Loans at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Substitute Rate. Section 4. Collateral Security. 4.01 Collateral; Security Interest. (a) Borrower hereby assigns, pledges and grants a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Collateral described in Section 4.01(b) below to Lender to secure the repayment of principal of and interest on all Loans and all other amounts owing to Lender hereunder, under the Note, under the other Loan Documents and any and all MS Indebtedness from time to time outstanding (collectively, the "Secured Obligations"). Borrower agrees to mark its computer records to evidence the interests granted to Lender hereunder. (b) All of Borrower's right, title and interest in, to and under each of the following items of property pledged by Borrower to Lender from time to time and whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located, is hereinafter individually and collectively referred to as the "Collateral": (i) all Mortgage Loans, Mezzanine Loans, Equity Interests and Other Approved Collateral; (ii) all Collateral Documents, including without limitation all promissory notes, any collateral pledged or otherwise relating to such Collateral, all representations and warranties made to, or for the benefit of, Borrower by any Collateral Obligor, all Servicing Records (as defined in Section 11.14(b) below) and servicing agreements, together with all files, documents, instruments, surveys, certificates, correspondence, appraisals, computer programs, computer storage media, accounting records and other books and records relating thereto, in each case subject to prior liens and encumbrances permitted by Lender; (iii) all guaranties and insurance (issued by governmental agencies or otherwise) and any insurance certificate or other document evidencing such guaranties or insurance relating to any Collateral and all claims and payments thereunder; (iv) all other insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any Collateral or the related Property; (v) all Interest Rate Protection Agreements; (vi) the Collection Account and all monies from time to time on deposit in the Collection Account; (vii) all "general intangibles", "accounts" and "chattel paper" as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code relating to or constituting any and all of the foregoing; and (viii) any and all replacements, substitutions, distributions on, or proceeds (including, without limitation, condemnation proceeds) of, any and all of the foregoing set forth in items (i) through (vii) of this Section 4.01(b), whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located. (c) Pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, Custodian shall hold the Collateral Documents as exclusive bailee and agent for Lender pursuant to terms of the Custodial Agreement and shall deliver to Lender Trust Receipts each to the effect that it has reviewed such Collateral Documents in -23- the manner and to the extent required by the Custodial Agreement and identifying any deficiencies in such Collateral Documents as so reviewed. 4.02 Further Assurances. (a) Borrower shall undertake, with respect to each item of Collateral pledged hereunder as security for a Loan, any and all actions deemed necessary by Lender for the granting by Borrower to Lender of a valid first priority security interest in such Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower shall take such steps as are necessary for the granting and perfection of a first priority security interest in Securities and related Collateral. (b) At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Lender, and at the sole expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly and duly execute and deliver, or will promptly cause to be executed and delivered, such further instruments and documents and take such further action as Lender may reasonably request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Loan Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, without limitation, the filing of any financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the Liens created hereby. Borrower also hereby authorizes Lender to file any such financing or continuation statement without the signature of Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Loan Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement for filing in any jurisdiction. 4.03 Changes in Locations, Name, etc. Borrower shall not (i) change the location of its chief executive office/chief place of business from that specified in Section 6 hereof or (ii) change its name, identity or corporate structure (or the equivalent) or change the location where it maintains its records with respect to the Collateral unless it shall have given Lender at least ten (10) days prior written notice thereof and shall have delivered to Lender all Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and amendments thereto as Lender shall request and taken all other actions deemed necessary by Lender to continue its perfected status in the Collateral with the same or better priority. 4.04 Lender's Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact. (a) Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Borrower and in the name of Borrower or in its own name, from time to time in Lender's discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Loan Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Loan Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower hereby gives Lender the power and right, on behalf of Borrower, without assent by, but with notice to, Borrower, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to do the following: (i) in the name of Borrower or its own name, or otherwise, to take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any mortgage insurance or with respect to any other Collateral and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by Lender for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any such mortgage insurance or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable; (ii) to pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral; and (iii) (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to Lender or as Lender shall direct; (B) to ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and -24- all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (C) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any part thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (E) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Borrower with respect to any Collateral; (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Lender may deem appropriate; and (G) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though Lender were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Lender's option and Borrower's expense, at any time, and from time to time, all acts and things which Lender deems reasonably necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and Lender's Liens thereon and to effect the intent of this Loan Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Borrower might do. Borrower hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the repayment in full of all Secured Obligations hereunder. (b) Borrower also authorizes Lender, at any time and from time to time, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 4.07 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral. (c) The powers conferred on Lender are solely to protect Lender's interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Lender to exercise any such powers. Lender shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither Lender nor any of its officers, directors, or employees shall be responsible to Borrower for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 4.05 Performance by Lender of Borrower's Obligations. If Borrower fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained in the Loan Documents to which it is a party and Lender may itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the expenses of Lender incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Post-Default Rate, shall be payable by Borrower to Lender on demand and shall constitute Secured Obligations. 4.06 Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, (a) all proceeds of Collateral received by Borrower consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by Borrower in trust for Lender, segregated from other funds of Borrower, and, within two (2) Business Days of receipt by Borrower, shall be turned over to Lender in the exact form received by Borrower (duly endorsed by Borrower to Lender, if required, in order to be negotiated by Lender) and (b) any and all such proceeds received by Lender (whether from Borrower or otherwise) may, in the sole discretion of Lender, be held by Lender as collateral security for, and/or then or at any time thereafter may be applied by Lender against, the Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured), such application to be in such order as Lender shall elect. Any balance of such proceeds remaining after the Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full and this Loan Agreement shall have been terminated shall be paid over to Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. For purposes hereof, proceeds shall include, but not be limited to, all principal and interest payments, all prepayments and payoffs, insurance claims, condemnation awards, sale proceeds, real estate owned rents and any other income and all other amounts received with respect to the Collateral. 4.07 Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Lender may, at its option, enter into one or more Interest Rate Protection Agreements covering all or a portion of the Mortgage Loans or Mezzanine Loans pledged to Lender hereunder, and Borrower shall be responsible for all damages, judgment costs and expenses of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted -25- against Lender relating to or arising out of such Interest Rate Protection Agreements; including without limitation any losses resulting from such Interest Rate Protection Agreements. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Lender may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Loan Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon Borrower or any other Person (each and all of which demands, presentments, protests, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels or as an entirety at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker's board or office of Lender or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Borrower, which right or equity is hereby waived or released. Borrower further agrees, at Lender's request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at places which Lender shall reasonably select, whether at Borrower's premises or elsewhere. Lender shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of Lender hereunder, including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in such order as Lender may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by Lender of any other amount required or permitted by any provision of law, including without limitation Section 9-608(a)(1)(c) of the Uniform Commercial Code, need Lender account for the surplus, if any, to Borrower. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against Lender arising out of the exercise by Lender of any of its rights hereunder, other than those claims, damages and demands arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency (plus accrued interest thereon as contemplated pursuant to Section 3.01(b) hereof) if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral (net of costs incurred in connection with such sale or other disposition) are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by Lender to collect such deficiency. 4.08 Limitation on Duties Regarding Preservation of Collateral. Lender's duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as Lender deals with similar property for its own account. Neither Lender nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Borrower or otherwise. 4.09 Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest. 4.10 Release of Security Interest. Upon termination of this Loan Agreement and the CMBS Loan Agreement and repayment to Lender of all Secured Obligations and the performance of all obligations under the Loan Documents and under the CMBS Loan Agreement, Lender shall release its security interest in any remaining Collateral. -26- 4.11 Release of Collateral. Provided that no Default or Event of Default shall exist (other than one that (a) relates solely to the Collateral to be released and (b) will be cured simultaneously with such release) and that Borrower shall have paid all sums then due under the Loan relating thereto, upon (i) Borrower's payment in full of the Asset-Specific Loan Balance with respect to a portion of the Collateral and (ii) receipt by Lender of a written request from Borrower for the release of such Collateral, Lender shall as soon as practicable release (and Lender shall reasonably cooperate with Borrower to facilitate reasonable escrow arrangements to facilitate a simultaneous release of) the related Collateral Documents and the related Collateral and any liens related thereto to Borrower or, to the extent necessary to facilitate future savings of mortgage tax in states that impose mortgage taxes, assign such liens as Borrower shall request; provided, that any such assignments shall be without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind except that Lender shall represent and warrant that such Collateral has not been previously assigned by Lender. Lender shall with reasonable promptness, after a written request from Borrower, execute any document or instrument necessary to effectuate such release or assignment. 4.12 Substitution of Eligible Collateral. From time to time until the Custodian is otherwise notified by the Lender, which notice shall be given by the Lender only during the existence of an Event of Default, and with the prior written consent of the Lender, the Borrower may substitute for one or more items of Eligible Collateral constituting the Collateral with one or more substitute items of Eligible Collateral having aggregate Collateral Value equal to or greater than the Collateral Value of the Collateral being substituted for, or obtain the release of one or more items of Collateral constituting Collateral hereunder: provided that, after giving effect to such substitution or release, the Secured Obligations then outstanding shall not exceed the Borrowing Base, which determination shall be made solely by the Lender. In connection with any such requested substitution or release, the Borrower will provide notice to the Custodian and the Lender no later than 3:00 p.m. New York City time, on the date of such request, specifying the items of Collateral to be substituted for or released and the items of substitute Collateral to be pledged hereunder in substitution thereof, if any, and shall deliver with such notice a Custodial Identification Certificate and a revised Collateral Schedule indicating any substitute Collateral. Section 5. Conditions Precedent. 5.01 Initial Loan. The obligation of Lender to make its initial Loan hereunder is subject to the satisfaction, immediately prior to or concurrently with the making of such Loan, of the condition precedent that Lender shall have received all of the following items and documents, each of which shall be satisfactory to Lender and its counsel in form and substance: (a) Loan Documents.

Each request for a borrowing by Borrower hereunder shall constitute a certification by Borrower that all the conditions set forth in this Section 5 have been satisfied (both as of the date of such notice, request or confirmation and as of the date of such borrowing). 5.03 Additional Requirements. (a) Borrower and Lender recognize and agree that the categories of Collateral set forth in the Recital paragraph hereof and defined herein as categories of assets which may be submitted by Borrower to Lender for review by Lender as Eligible Collateral hereunder are general in nature and -29- that the full scope of such Collateral categories may be unknown. Consequently, the appropriate requirements are not fully known for (i) the documents to be provided by Borrower for underwriting and due diligence review by Lender and (ii) submittals by Borrower in order to create and perfect a first priority security interest in the Collateral. Therefore, Borrower and Lender agree that, as a further condition precedent to funding a Loan in respect of any Collateral hereunder, Borrower shall have delivered to Lender all information and documents determined by Lender in good faith to be required for its underwriting and examination of such Collateral and for the granting and perfection of a first priority security interest therein. (b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing Section 5.03(a), Borrower shall execute and deliver all documents necessary for the granting of a first priority security interest in any Collateral determined by Lender to be Eligible Collateral hereunder, including without limitation (i) all instruments evidencing indebtedness payable to Borrower or pledged to Borrower as security for a loan, (ii) all instruments granting or perfecting a security interest for the benefit of Borrower or pledged to Borrower as security for a loan (including, without limitation, collateral assignments, pledge agreements and UCC financing statements), (iii) all instruments evidencing an interest in an entity pledged to Borrower as security for a loan (including, without limitation, partnership interests, shares of corporate stock, participation interests, and other beneficial interests of any kind), (iv) all instruments guaranteeing the repayment of indebtedness owed to Borrower, or pledged to Borrower for the repayment of a Loan and (v) all agreements among holders of debt or equity interests providing for a priority among such parties of interests in related assets forming the basis of an item of Collateral. 5.04 Tax Opinion.

Borrower has all necessary power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party; the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary action on its part; and each Loan Document to which it is a party has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Borrower and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms. 6.03 Litigation.

(m) any materially adverse change in the Property, business, financial condition or prospects of Borrower or CT Mezz II or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall occur, in each case as determined by Lender in its sole discretion, or any other condition shall exist which, in Lender's sole discretion, constitutes a material impairment of Borrower's ability to perform its obligations under this Loan Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document or the ability of CT Mezz II to perform their obligations under the Parent Guaranty;

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default referred to in Sections 8(g) or (h), such amounts shall immediately and automatically become due and payable without any further action by any Person. Upon such declaration or such automatic acceleration, the balance then outstanding on the Note shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower.

(c) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, without limiting any other rights or remedies of Lender, Lender shall have the right to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by or for account of Lender or Lender's -38- Affiliates to any indebtedness at any time owing to Lender to the credit or for the account of Borrower against any and all of the Indebtedness of Borrower, irrespective of whether Lender shall have made any demand under this Loan Agreement, the Note, any other Security Document or any other document executed in connection with any other MS Indebtedness. Section 10. No Duty of Lender. The powers conferred on Lender hereunder are solely to protect Lender's interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Lender shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Borrower for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Section 11. Miscellaneous. 11.01 Waiver. No failure on the part of Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under any Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. 11.02 Notices. Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Loan Agreement, all notices, requests and other communications provided for herein and under the Custodial Agreement (including without limitation any modifications of, or waivers, requests or consents under, this Loan Agreement) shall be given or made in writing (including without limitation by telex or telecopy) delivered to the intended recipient at the "Address for Notices" specified below its name on the signature pages hereof or thereof; or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to each other party. Except as otherwise provided in this Loan Agreement and except for notices given under Section 2 (which shall be effective only on receipt), all such communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when transmitted by telex or telecopy or personally delivered or, in the case of a mailed notice, upon receipt, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid. 11.03 Indemnification and Expenses. (a) Borrower agrees to hold Lender, and its Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each an "Indemnified Party") harmless from and indemnify any Indemnified Party against all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party (collectively, the "Costs") relating to or arising out of this Loan Agreement, the Note, any other Loan Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Loan Agreement, the Note, any other Loan Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, that, in each case, results from anything other than any Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower agrees to hold any Indemnified Party harmless from and indemnify such Indemnified Party against all Costs with respect to all Collateral Loans and Equity Interests relating to or arising out of any violation or alleged violation of any environmental law, rule or regulation or any consumer credit laws, including without limitation the Truth in Lending Act and/or the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, that, in each case, results from anything other than such Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by an Indemnified Party in connection with any Collateral for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Collateral Documents, Borrower will save, indemnify and hold such Indemnified Party harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by Borrower of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor or its successors from Borrower. Borrower also agrees to reimburse an Indemnified Party as and when billed by such Indemnified Party for all such Indemnified Party's costs and expenses incurred in connection with -39- the enforcement or the preservation of such Indemnified Party's rights under this Loan Agreement, the Note, any other Loan Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel. Borrower hereby acknowledges that, notwithstanding the fact that the Note is secured by the Collateral, the obligation of Borrower under the Note is a recourse obligation of the Borrower. (b) Borrower agrees to pay as and when billed by Lender all of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Loan Agreement, the Note, any other Loan Document or any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith. Borrower agrees to pay as and when billed by Lender all of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby including without limitation (i) all the reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of counsel to Lender and (ii) all the due diligence, inspection, testing and review costs and expenses incurred by Lender with respect to Collateral under this Loan Agreement, including, but not limited to, those costs and expenses incurred by Lender pursuant to Sections 11.03(a), 11.14 and 11.15 hereof. 11.04 Amendments. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Loan Agreement, any provision of this Loan Agreement may be modified or supplemented only by an instrument in writing signed by Borrower and Lender and any provision of this Loan Agreement may be waived by Lender. 11.05 Successors and Assigns. This Loan Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. 11.06 Survival. The obligations of Borrower under Sections 3.03 and 11.03 hereof shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of this Loan Agreement. In addition, each representation and warranty made or deemed to be made by a request for a borrowing, herein or pursuant hereto shall survive the making of such representation and warranty, and Lender shall not be deemed to have waived, by reason of making any Loan, any Default that may arise because any such representation or warranty shall have proved to be false or misleading, notwithstanding that Lender may have had notice or knowledge or reason to believe that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time such Loan was made. 11.07 Captions. The table of contents and captions and section headings appearing herein are included solely for convenience of reference and are not intended to affect the interpretation of any provision of this Loan Agreement. 11.08 Counterparts. This Loan Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Loan Agreement by signing any such counterpart. 11.09 Loan Agreement Constitutes Security Agreement; Governing Law.

EACH OF BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS LOAN AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. 11.12 Acknowledgments. Borrower hereby acknowledges that: (a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Loan Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents; (b) Lender has no fiduciary relationship to Borrower, and the relationship between Borrower and Lender is solely that of debtor and creditor; and (c) no joint venture exists between Lender and Borrower. 11.13 Hypothecation or Pledge of Loans. Lender shall have free and unrestricted use of all Collateral and nothing in this Loan Agreement shall preclude Lender from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Collateral or otherwise pledging, repledging, transferring, hypothecating, or rehypothecating the Collateral or pledging or otherwise transferring its rights to payment hereunder in respect of any Loan made hereunder; provided, that no action by Lender referred to in this sentence shall confer on any Person other than Lender any right against Borrower to require any prepayment under Section 2.04 hereof or any right to enforce against Borrower any other provision of this Loan Agreement, but may grant to any Person the right to require Lender to enforce any such provisions. Nothing contained in this Loan Agreement shall obligate Lender to segregate any Collateral delivered to Lender by Borrower. 11.14 Servicing. (a) Borrower covenants to maintain or cause the servicing of the Collateral to be maintained with respect to each type of Collateral pledged to Lender hereunder in conformity with accepted and prudent servicing practices in the industry for such same type of Collateral and in a manner at least equal in quality to the servicing Borrower provides for assets similar to such Collateral which it owns. In the event that the preceding language is interpreted as constituting one or more servicing -41- contracts, each such servicing contract shall terminate automatically upon the earliest of (i) an Event of Default, (ii) the date on which all the Secured Obligations have been paid in full or (iii) the transfer of servicing approved by Borrower and Lender, which Lender's consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Midland Loan Services, Inc. ("Midland") shall be the initial servicer. (b) If the Collateral, or any portion thereof, is serviced by Borrower, (i) Borrower agrees that Lender is the collateral assignee of all servicing records, including but not limited to any and all servicing agreements, files, documents, records, data bases, computer tapes, copies of computer tapes, proof of insurance coverage, insurance policies, appraisals, other closing documentation, payment history records, and any other records relating to or evidencing the servicing of such Collateral (the "Servicing Records"), and (ii) Borrower grants Lender a security interest in all servicing fees and rights relating to such Collateral and all Servicing Records to secure the obligation of Borrower or its designee to service in conformity with this Section and any other obligation of Borrower to Lender. Borrower covenants to safeguard such Servicing Records and to deliver them promptly to Lender or its designee (including Custodian) at Lender's request. (c) If the Collateral, or any portion thereof, is serviced by a third party servicer (such third party servicer, the "Servicer"), Borrower (i) shall provide a copy of the servicing agreement to Lender, which shall be in form and substance acceptable to Lender (the "Servicing Agreement"); and (ii) hereby irrevocably assigns to Lender and Lender's successors and assigns all right, title, interest of Borrower in, to and under, and the benefits of, any Servicing Agreement with respect to such Collateral. Any successor to the Servicer shall be approved in writing by Lender prior to such successor's assumption of servicing obligations with respect to such Collateral. The Travelers Real Estate Investment Group ("Travelers") is hereby approved as a Servicer, subject to (x) there having occurred no materially adverse change in Travelers' ability to perform as Servicer prior to the date of Lender's approval hereunder of any servicing agreement between Borrower and Travelers and (y) the satisfaction by Borrower of clause (i) hereof and the delivery by Borrower to Lender of such additional documentation as Lender may require to further evidence the security interest granted to Lender by Borrower in Borrower's interest in any servicing agreement entered into between Borrower and Travelers. (d) Borrower shall provide to Lender a letter from Borrower (if Borrower is the Servicer) or the Servicer, as the case may be, to the effect that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may terminate any Servicing Agreement and transfer servicing to its designee, at no cost or expense to Lender, it being agreed that Borrower will pay any and all fees required to terminate the Servicing Agreement and to effectuate the transfer of servicing to the designee of Lender. (e) After the Funding Date, until the pledge of any Collateral is relinquished by Custodian, Borrower will have no right to modify or alter the terms of any of the documents pertaining to such Collateral and Borrower will have no obligation or right to repossess such Collateral or substitute other Collateral, except as provided in the Custodial Agreement; provided, however, that so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may enter into such modifications of the terms of such documents as do not, as to any individual item of Collateral, (i) result in a negative monetary effect or (ii) constitute a material adverse effect. (f) In the event Borrower or its Affiliate is servicing any Collateral, Borrower shall permit Lender to inspect Borrower's or its Affiliate's servicing facilities, as the case may be, for the purpose of satisfying Lender that Borrower or its Affiliate, as the case may be, has the ability to service such Collateral as provided in this Loan Agreement. (g) Borrower shall cause the Servicer to provide a copy of each report and notice sent to Borrower to be sent to Lender concurrently therewith. 11.15 Periodic Due Diligence Review. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Collateral, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, or determining and re-determining the Borrowing Base under Section 2.04(a) hereof, or otherwise, and Borrower agrees that -42- Lender, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on any or all of the Collateral securing the Loans, including, without limitation, ordering new credit reports and Appraisals on the applicable Collateral and otherwise regenerating the information used to originate such Eligible Collateral. Upon reasonable (but no less than one (1) Business Day) prior notice to Borrower, Lender or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of, the Collateral Files and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Collateral in the possession or under the control of Borrower and/or Custodian. Borrower also shall make available to Lender a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Collateral Files and the Collateral. Borrower agrees to cooperate with Lender and any third party underwriter designated by Lender in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Lender and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Collateral in the possession, or under the control, of Borrower. Borrower further agrees that Borrower shall reimburse Lender for any and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with Lender's activities pursuant to this Section 11.15. 11.16 Intent. The parties recognize that each Loan is a "securities contract" as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended. 11.17 Change of Borrower's State of Formation. If Borrower shall change the State or Country under whose laws Borrower shall be incorporated and organized, Borrower shall promptly provide Lender with a copy of its new Declaration of Trust, Articles of Incorporation or similar document, certified by the Secretary of State or other appropriate official of Borrower's new State or Country of formation, if applicable, together with such opinions of counsel regarding such change as Lender, in its sole discretion, shall require. 11.18 Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by this Loan Agreement and by law, Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Borrower. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off and application made by Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. 11.19 Morgan Stanley Downgrade. In the event (a) Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co.'s corporate bond rating as calculated by S&P or Moody's shall have been lowered or downgraded to a rating below A- as indicated by S&P or below A3 as indicated by Moody's and (b) Borrower shall have repaid all amounts owing to Lender under this agreement written ninety (90) days following such downgrade, Lender shall refund to Borrower a portion of the sum of (i) the fee paid to Lender pursuant to Section 5.01(a)(ii) hereof and (ii) the Maximum Credit Increase Fee paid to Lender hereunder, if any, in an amount equal to the product of (1) such sum multiplied by (2) 30 basis points (0.30%) multiplied by (3) the quotient of (x) the number of days remaining to, and including, the Termination Date divided by (y) the number of days from and after the date hereof to, and including, the Termination Date. 11.20 Special Purpose Entity. Borrower shall: (a) not own any assets nor engage in any business other than owning the assets and engaging in the transactions specifically contemplated hereunder and under every other document to be executed pursuant to this Loan Agreement; (b) not incur any indebtedness or obligation, secured or unsecured, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent (including any guarantee thereof), other than pursuant hereto; (c) not make any loans or advances to any third party, and shall not acquire obligations or securities of any of its Affiliates; (d) pay its debts and liabilities (including, as applicable, shared personnel and overhead expenses) only from its own assets; (e) comply -43- with the provisions of its organizational documents; (f) do all things necessary to observe organizational formalities and to preserve its existence, and will not amend, modify or otherwise change its organizational documents, or suffer same to be amended, modified or otherwise changed without the prior written consent of Lender which shall not be unreasonably withheld; (g) maintain all of its books, records, financial statements and bank accounts separate from those of its Affiliates; (h) be, and at all times will hold itself out to the public as, a legal entity separate and distinct from any other entity (including any of its Affiliates), shall correct any known misunderstanding regarding its status as a separate entity, shall conduct business in its own name, shall not identify itself or any of its Affiliates as a division or part of the other and shall maintain and utilize separate stationary, invoices and checks; (i) maintain adequate capital for the normal obligations reasonably foreseeable in a business of its size and character and in light of its contemplated business operations; (j) not engage in or suffer any change of ownership, dissolution, winding up, liquidation, consolidation or merger in whole or in part; (k) not commingle its funds or other assets with those of any of its Affiliates or any other Person; (l) maintain its assets in such a manner that it will not be costly or difficult to segregate, ascertain or identify its individual assets from those of any of its Affiliates or any other Person; and (n) cause each of its direct and indirect owners to agree not to (i) file or consent to the filing of any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization case or proceeding with respect to Borrower; institute any proceedings under any applicable insolvency law or otherwise seek any relief under any laws relating to the relief from debts or the protection of debtors generally with respect to Borrower; (ii) seek or consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequester, custodian or any similar official for Borrower or a substantial portion of its properties; or (iii) make any assignment for the benefit of Borrower's creditors. 11.21 Joint and Several Liability. In the event of the existence of an Additional Borrower, Initial Borrower and each Additional Borrower hereby acknowledge and agree that each entity shall be jointly and severally liable to Lender for all representations, warranties, covenants, obligations and indemnities of Borrower hereunder.
