For each Fiscal Year (or any portion thereof) during the Term, Borrower shall pay Lender interest (calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed and a year of three hundred and sixty (360) days) on the Principal of the Loan outstanding from time to time, to

                 3.2           Payments. Borrower shall make payments of Interest with respect to the Loan as follows:

                 (a)           Interest shall be payable in monthly installments, in arrears, on the first day of the month following the month for which such Interest is due.

                 (b)           All payments of Interest and Principal pursuant to this Loan Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall be made in lawful currency of the United States of America at Lender’s address set forth in the first paragraph of this Loan Agreement or at such other address as Lender shall from time to time designate.

If any payment becoming due to Lender under the Note or this Loan Agreement is not paid when due and shall continue unpaid for a period of ninety (90) days, then (without prejudice to any other rights and remedies available to Lender as a result of such nonpayment) beginning on the ninety-first (91st) day after such payment first was due and continuing until the first anniversary of the date upon which the Event of Default shall have been cured, the Interest Rate shall be fourteen percent (14%) per annum. In addition, if any payment of Interest or Principal shall not be made within fifteen (15) days of the date the same becomes due, Borrower shall pay to Lender a late payment charge in an amount equal to four (4%) percent of the amount past due upon demand made by Lender at any time after such fifteen (15) day period. All such late payment charges shall be liquidated damages for Borrower’s failure to make prompt payment.




ARTICLE FOUR

A Lightstone Property shall be deemed to have been Taken in substantial part if the portion thereof remaining after the Taking cannot practically and




economically be restored so as to be suitable for the use to which the Lightstone Property in question was being put at the time of the Taking. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.3(a), in no event shall Borrower be obligated to prepay more than the then outstanding principal balance under the Loan.

                 (b)           Borrower may prepay the Loan, in whole but not in part, upon or at any time after the repayment of the First Mortgage on its original or any extended maturity date upon at least forty-five (45) days notice to Lender and the payment to Lender of the Exit Fee computed as provided in Section 4.3(d) simultaneously with such prepayment.

                (d)           Whenever any Principal is repaid by Borrower, for any reason whatsoever, Borrower shall pay in addition to the Principal so paid, and any accrued and unpaid Interest thereon, an “Exit Fee” in the amount of three percent (3%) of the Principal so paid, provided, however, that if and to the extent that Principal is paid on the Maturity Date, or a prepayment is required as a result of a Lightstone Property Sale and there have been no material Events of Default during the Term of the Loan with respect to payments of Interest, or prepayment is required as a result of the Taking of a Lightstone Property in whole or in substantial part, then the Exit Fee shall be waived by Lender and shall not be payable by Borrower.

                (e)           No prepayment, in whole or in part, however occurring, shall affect in any way the rights or status of Lender’s Affiliate as a member of Borrower.

                 4.4           Acceleration Upon Allegation of Invalidity of Interest, Etc. In the event that Borrower, either Lightstone Property Owner, or any of their Affiliates, or any third party claiming through or under any of them, shall at any time assert or shall take any action the effect of which is




to assert that any Interest or Principal is invalid or that the payment of any of the Indebtedness in accordance herewith is unlawful or can be delayed or abridged for any reason whatsoever, Lender shall have the right and option immediately to accelerate the Maturity Date. In the event that Lender shall exercise such right and option to accelerate the Maturity Date, the Principal, all Interest, and all other Indebtedness or sums due from Borrower to Lender pursuant to the terms of the Note, this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be due and payable in full immediately upon receipt by Borrower of the notice of acceleration from Lender.

received a notice to the effect that execution and delivery or performance of the Loan



Documents, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or compliance with the provisions hereof and thereof, does or will conflict with or result in a breach of any of the provisions of any Legal Requirements or applicable license, permit, statute, ordinance, law, judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree, rule or regulation of any court, administrative agency or other governmental authority, or of any determination or award of any arbitrator, or of any agreement or instrument to which Borrower, Macon Burlington Owner or the Lightstone Property Owners is or are a party or by which they or either of the Lightstone Properties is bound, or constitute a default under any thereof, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon either of the Lightstone Properties or any of the ownership interests pledged to Lender by the Pledge Agreement.

                                 (d)           There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the best of its knowledge, threatened against either of the Lightstone Properties, Borrower, Macon Burlington Owner or either Lightstone Property Owner, by or before any court, administrative agency or other governmental authority or any arbitrator that would have a material, adverse effect on the Loan. None of Borrower, Macon Burlington Owner or either Lightstone Property Owner is a party to, and neither of the Lightstone Properties is bound by, any agreement or other instrument, other than the Permitted Exceptions, or, to the best of its knowledge, subject to any license, permit, statute, ordinance, law, judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree, rule or regulation of any court, administrative agency or other governmental authority, or any determination or award of any arbitrator, which might materially adversely affect the Loan. To the best of its knowledge, Borrower, Macon Burlington Owner and the Lightstone Property Owners are not in default in compliance with any obligation under any Legal Requirements, or applicable license, permit, statute, ordinance, law, judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree, rule or regulation of any court, administrative agency or other governmental authority, or any determination or award of any arbitrator, or under any agreement or instrument to which any of them is a party or by which any




of them or either of the Lightstone Properties is bound which would materially adversely affect the Loan.

                                 (e)           To the best of its knowledge, no permit of or by any court, administrative agency or other governmental authority not heretofore obtained is required in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, or consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents.

                                 (f)            Borrower, Macon Burlington Owner and the Lightstone Property Owners have filed all tax returns required to be filed by them and are not in default in the payment of any taxes levied or assessed against them, any of their assets or either of the Lightstone Properties.

                                 (g)           As of the Loan Closing Date, the Lightstone Property Owners shall have good and marketable fee and/or leasehold title to the Lightstone Properties and the Improvements thereon, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, except the Permitted Exceptions, and neither of the Lightstone Properties or any part thereof shall be subject to any option or other right to purchase in favor of any third party.

                                 (h)           Lender shall have legal and valid security interests in and to the Pledged Collateral superior in right to any pledges or liens which any third party may have or may hereafter purport to acquire against the Pledged Collateral.

                                 (i)            None of Borrower, Macon Burlington Owner nor the Lightstone Property Owners have entered into any contract or agreement of any kind which would give rise to a pledge or lien upon the Pledged Collateral.




                                 (j)            To the best of its knowledge, the Lightstone Properties are zoned for use in the manner in which they are used and conform in all material respects to all existing zoning, building and other Legal Requirements, and the operation of the Lightstone Properties is not as to any of them in material violation of any Legal Requirements, Certificates of Occupancy or other permits, and no notice has been received from any governmental authority or other Person claiming a material violation of any Legal Requirements, Certificates of Occupancy or other permits. To the best of its knowledge, neither the zoning of either Lightstone Property nor any right to use either Lightstone Property is to any material extent dependent upon or related to any real estate other than such Lightstone Property.

                                 (k)           No Bankruptcy Event has ever occurred with respect to Borrower, Macon Burlington Owner or either of the Lightstone Property Owners.

                                 (l)            Borrower has or may have heretofore provided to Lender: certain financial statements; copies of appraisals of the Lightstone Properties; copies of so-called Phase I environmental reports on the Lightstone Properties; property condition reports for the Lightstone Properties; certain service agreements applicable to the Lightstone Properties; copies of loan commitments and loan documents for the First Mortgage and the Macon Burlington Owner Loan, and certain other documents and statements pertaining to the Lightstone Properties (the materials above referred to in this subparagraph (l) along with rent rolls and other tenant information provided to Wachovia and/or attached to or otherwise made part of the Wachovia loan documentation herein being referred to as the “Financial Information”). The information set forth in the Financial Information is, to the best knowledge of Borrower, true, correct and complete in all material respects. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, there are no arrangements for the use or occupancy of any space in any of the Lightstone Properties other than pursuant to good faith, arm’s length Occupancy Leases. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, all of the Occupancy Leases listed in said rent rolls are binding upon the Lightstone Property Owners and the tenants




thereunder and are in full force and effect. None of Borrower, Macon Burlington Owner or either Lightstone Property Owner has pledged, assigned, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered any of the Occupancy Leases or any interest therein except as collateral security for the First Mortgage. Based upon appropriate certifications and estoppel certificates, with exceptions which in the aggregate would not have a material adverse effect on the Loan, except as otherwise disclosed to Lender in writing or reflected in the Financial Information, (i) the rent under and as set forth in each of the Occupancy Leases is being collected on a current basis and in accordance with the terms of such Occupancy Leases, and there is no default or event of default which exists or is alleged to exist under any of the Occupancy Leases, (ii) no default or event of default by any tenant thereunder exists, and there has been no occurrence which upon notice and/or the passage of time or otherwise would result in the occurrence of an event of default thereunder, (iii) no tenant under any of the Occupancy Leases is entitled to rental concessions or abatements with respect to rental or additional rental payable for any period, (iv) no brokerage or other commission is due with respect to any of the Occupancy Leases which has not been paid, and no brokerage or other commissions shall become due or payable by Borrower, Macon Burlington Owner or either Lightstone Property Owner with the passage of time or the exercise by any tenant under any Occupancy Lease of any renewal or expansion option thereunder, and (v) there are no currently existing disputes between Borrower, Macon Burlington Owner or either Lightstone Property Owner (or, to the best of its knowledge, any predecessor landlord under any Occupancy Lease) and any tenant under any of the Occupancy Leases with respect to the computation of any rent, additional rent, incentive rent, tenant reimbursements or any other amounts payable by any such tenant under any of the Occupancy Leases.

                                 (m)          There is access for ingress and egress to and from the Lightstone Properties to public streets or roadways, pursuant to valid easements or other valid means, the Lightstone Property Owners’ rights to such access are not subject to any interference or obstruction, and none of Borrower, Macon Burlington Owner or either Lightstone Property Owner has any knowledge of




any fact or condition which would result in the termination of such access as to either of the Lightstone Properties. None of the Permitted Exceptions materially interferes with or has materially interfered with the maintenance, use, operation or enjoyment of either of the Lightstone Properties.

delivered to the holder of the mortgage resulting from the Refinancing Event in place of the foregoing requirements.

                                 (b)           Income Reports. In addition to the requirements of subsection (a) above, Borrower shall furnish, or cause the Lightstone Property Owners to furnish, to Lender no later than March 31 of each year (i) a statement itemizing the sources and types of gross revenue for the preceding Fiscal Year paid by tenants to each Lightstone Property Owner in accordance with Occupancy Leases and reflecting other miscellaneous income, and (ii) such other year end reports and other information as Lender reasonably may request.

                                 (c)           Other Reports. In addition, Borrower shall furnish or cause the Lightstone Property Owners to furnish to Lender copies of any and all reports furnished under any management agreement or leasing agreement to the extent not otherwise provided to Lender hereunder.

                 11.3         Lender’s Right to Audit. The books, accounts and records of Borrower and the Lightstone Property Owners shall at all times be maintained at Borrower’s Property Management Office. Upon reasonable notice to Borrower, Lender may at its option and expense conduct audits of the books, records and accounts of the Lightstone Properties, on either a continuing or periodic basis or both, by employees of Lender, an Affiliate of Lender, or by a national firm of independent certified public accountants selected by Lender (“Auditor”). If Lender’s accountants are not the Auditor and disagree with the Auditor’s decision as to any matter concerning the books, accounts and records of either Lightstone Property, Lender may notify Borrower of such disagreement, and Borrower and Lender shall cause the Auditor and Lender’s accountants, respectively, to hold such meetings and discussions as they shall deem necessary concerning the disagreement and to use all reasonable efforts to reach a mutually acceptable resolution of the matter in question. If the Auditor and the Lender’s accountants are unable to reach a mutually acceptable resolution of the




matter in question, they shall select a national firm of certified public accountants to act as a third auditor to review and make a determination as to the matter in question. Such third auditor’s determination shall be final and binding upon the parties, the Auditor and Lender’s accountants. Such third auditor shall have full access to the books, records and accounts of the Lightstone Properties.

                 The charges and expenses of such third auditor shall be paid by Borrower as an Operating Expense.




ARTICLE TWELVE
MANAGEMENT OF THE PROPERTIES

                 12.1         Management. Borrower shall be responsible for providing or causing to be provided all services necessary, proper, desirable or appropriate for the successful leasing, operating, repair and management of the Lightstone Properties in the manner of similar properties in their respective general areas, and shall cause such management services to be performed as hereinafter set forth. Any management agreement shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and shall be terminable upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice. Any management agreement shall also provide that all amounts coming due to the managing agent thereunder shall be earned, due and payable only if, as, and when, and to the extent that, all Indebtedness amounts then due and payable have been paid. Any managing agent must be approved by Lender before being retained to serve as such. Subject to the preceding provisions of this Section, Lender agrees not to unreasonably withhold Lender’s approval of a manager selected by Borrower, so long as the aggregate amount of fees and other compensation to be paid to said managing agent, pursuant to a management agreement between Borrower and said managing agent that is acceptable to Lender, shall not exceed three and one-half percent (3.5%) of the rent and other direct income from the operation of the Lightstone Property or Lightstone Properties. Any replacement managing agent or management agreement shall be subject to Lender’s prior written approval. The managing agent or managing agents of the Lightstone Properties always shall use their best efforts (and their respective management agreements expressly shall so require) to manage the Lightstone Properties in such a manner that the rental income derived therefrom would qualify as “rents from real property” as that term is defined in Section 856(d)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code if the owner were a real estate investment trust.




                 12.2         Service Agreements. Copies of all service agreements shall be delivered to Lender, if Lender so requests, and shall be maintained at Borrower’s Property Management Office available for inspection by Lender at all reasonable times.

                 12.3         Occupancy Leases. All Occupancy Leases with respect to the Lightstone Properties will be bona fide, good faith, arm’s length leases in writing with third parties that are not Affiliates of Borrower, Macon Burlington Owner or either of the Lightstone Property Owners (and Borrower will promptly furnish copies thereof to Lender, if Lender so requests, and will maintain copies thereof at Borrower’s Property Management Office available for Lender’s inspection at all reasonable times).

ARTICLE THIRTEEN
TRANSFER OF INTERESTS; NO FURTHER FINANCING

                 13.1         Transfers. (a) Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, no Lightstone Property, or any part thereof, no Pledged Collateral, and no direct or indirect interest in either Lightstone Property Owner, in Borrower or in Macon Burlington Owner, or in any entity that has any direct or indirect interest in any Lightstone Property Owner, in Borrower or in Macon Burlington Owner, shall be Transferred without the prior written consent of Lender which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer not permitted under the terms hereof shall be void ab initio and of no force or effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything hereafter or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, the pledge (and the foreclosure of a pledge by Wachovia in connection with the Macon Burlington Owner Loan in accordance with a certain Intercreditor Agreement of even date herewith among Wachovia, as lender in respect of the loan secured by the First Mortgage, Wachovia, as lender in respect of the Macon Burlington




Owner Loan and Lender, as lender in respect of the Loan) of direct and/or in direct interests in the Lightstone Property Owner by Macon Burlington Owner, shall not contravene this Section 13.1 or any other Loan Document.

                 13.2         No Financing. Borrower shall not have the right and shall not permit Macon Burlington Owner or any Lightstone Property Owner, or any of their Affiliates, to enter into a Refinancing Event without the prior written consent of Lender which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

order successfully asserting a contest, Borrower shall have no liability under this clause (b)), in which event Lender shall have recourse against all of the assets of Borrower including, without limitation, any right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Pledged Collateral.

                 14.10       Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and all counterparts so executed shall for all purposes constitute but one Agreement, binding on all the parties hereto, notwithstanding that all parties shall not have executed the same counterpart.

                 14.13       No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies and Rights  Lender shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, and no waiver shall be valid unless in writing, signed by Lender, and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which Lender would otherwise have had on any future occasion. No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or future exercise thereof or




the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies hereunder provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently and shall be construed as affording Lender rights additional to and not exclusive of any rights and remedies conferred under the laws of the state of New York, any other laws or any other Security Instrument or Loan Document.

                 14.14       Certain Consents. If Borrower shall seek the approval by or consent of Lender under this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and Lender shall fail or refuse to give such consent or approval, then Borrower shall not be entitled to any damages for any withholding or delay of such approval or consent by Lender, it being intended that Borrower’s sole remedy shall be an action for injunction or specific performance, which remedy of an injunction or specific performance shall be available only in those cases in which Lender has expressly agreed under the applicable instrument or agreement not unreasonably to withhold or delay its consent or approval.

                 14.15       Payment Days. In the event that any payment of Interest, Principal, or any other payment to be made by Borrower to Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall fall on a day which is a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which commercial banks in New York City are closed for business, any such payment shall be made on the next succeeding business day.

                 14.16       Severability. In the event that any provision of this Loan Agreement or the application thereof to Borrower, in any circumstance, shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute, regulation or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith, and shall be deemed modified to conform to such statute, regulation or rule of law, and the remainder of this Loan Agreement and the application of any such invalid or unenforceable provision to parties, jurisdictions, or circumstances other than to whom or which it is held invalid or enforceable, shall not be affected




thereby nor shall same affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Loan Agreement.

                 14.17       Consent to Jurisdiction. Any court action brought to interpret or enforce any provision of this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or to prosecute any claim arising hereunder or thereunder must be commenced and maintained in the state or federal courts in the State of New York. Borrower and its Affiliates hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts in the State of New York for such purposes.

Service shall be effected by any means permitted by the court in which any action is filed, shall be deemed received as therein provided.
