ARTICLE II.
GENERAL TERMS
Section 2.1 Loan Commitment; Disbursement to Borrower.
2.1.1 Agreement to Lend and Borrow. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth
herein, Lender hereby agrees to make and Borrower hereby agrees to accept Advances in respect of
the Project Loan as more particularly set forth in Section 2.10.
2.1.2 No Reborrowings. Any amount borrowed and repaid hereunder in respect of the Building
Loan may not be reborrowed.
2.1.3 The Note, Mortgage and Loan Documents. The Project Loan shall be evidenced by the
Project Loan Note and secured by the Project Loan Mortgage, the Project Loan Assignment of Leases
and the other Project Loan Documents.
2.1.4 Use of Proceeds. Borrower hereby agrees that Borrower shall use the proceeds of the
Project Loan to pay or reimburse itself for Project-Loan Costs actually incurred in connection
with the construction of the Project Improvements if and to the extent that such Project-Loan Costs
are reflected in the Project Loan Budget, subject to reallocation pursuant to Sections
2.1.6 and 2.1.7 hereof, and 5.1.33 of the Building Loan Agreement (or other
reallocations approved by Lender in its sole discretion).
2.1.5 Advances. The Project Loan Budget shall reflect, by category and line item, the
purposes and amounts for which funds to be advanced by Lender under this Agreement are to be used.
Lender shall not be required to Advance funds hereunder for any category or line item of Project
Loan Costs in excess of the amount specified for such line item or category in the Project Loan
Budget, subject to Sections 2.1.6 and 2.1.7 hereof and 5.1.33 of the Building Loan Agreement (or
other reallocations approved by Lender in its sole discretion). No Advances shall be made to pay
for Affiliate Fees.
2.1.6 Cost Overruns. If Borrower becomes aware of any change in actual or projected Project
Loan Costs which will increase any one or more category or line item of costs reflected in the
Project Loan Budget, Borrower shall immediately notify Lender in writing and promptly submit to
Lender for its approval a revised Project Loan Budget. Any reallocation of any category or line
items in the Project Loan Budget in connection with cost overruns shall be subject to Lender’s
approval in Lender’s sole discretion except as set forth in Sections 2.1.7 hereof and
5.1.33 of the Building Loan Agreement, provided, however, under no circumstances shall
Borrower be permitted, or Lender obligated to approve, the reallocation of line items from
6
the
Building Loan Budget to the Project Loan Budget. Lender shall have no obligation to make any
further Advances unless and until the revised Project Loan Budget so submitted by Borrower is
approved by Lender and Borrower has satisfied its obligations with respect to any resulting
Shortfall under Section 2.1.10. Lender reserves the right to approve or disapprove any
revised Project Loan Budget in its sole and absolute discretion (except with respect to
reallocations in accordance with Sections 2.1.7 and 5.1.33).
2.1.7 Contingency Reserve.
(a) Following the satisfaction of the Initial Advance Conditions, and subject to the prior
approval of Lender in its sole discretion, Borrower may revise the Project Loan Budget to move
amounts available under any Line Item that are designated to “Contingency” to other Line Items in
the Project Loan Budget. In no event may the Contingency Line Item of the Building Loan Budget be
reallocated to any Line Item in the Project Loan Budget. Provided no Event of Default exists and
with Lender’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), after Completion of the
Improvements, Borrower may draw amounts available under the Contingency Line Item of the Project
Loan Budget to fund Shortfalls in monthly interest due, which amounts shall be deposited in the
Interest Reserve. Such drawing shall be in addition to any Interest Reserve Line Item advanced
under the Project Loan pursuant to Section 2.14.10 hereof.
(b) Following the occurrence of Final Completion, Lender shall reasonably cooperate with
Borrower to amend the Project Loan Budget, Building Loan Budget, Project Loan Documents and
Building Loan Documents such that: (x) the Building Loan Budget is amended to remove the amounts
then available under the Building Loan Budget either in the
contingency Line Item or as cost savings from other Line Items (the “Contingency Excess”) and
the Building Loan Amount is reduced by the Contingency Excess; and (y) the contingency line item of
the Project Loan Budget and the Project Loan Amount are increased by the Contingency Excess.
Borrower and Lender shall execute and deliver such documents, certificates and instruments as may
be reasonably required to effect the above described re-allocation, including, without limitation,
the filing of an amended Section 22 Affidavit and the modification of the Project Loan Documents
and Building Loan Documents to reflect the respective changes in the Project Loan Amount and the
Building Loan Amount and Borrower shall obtain such other evidence as Lender may reasonably request
to confirm that none of the foregoing shall adversely impact the validity or priority of its
security interests in the Property or otherwise adversely impact its rights and remedies under the
Loan Documents including, without limitation, appropriate endorsements to the title insurance
policy. Borrower shall pay any and all title insurance, recording and other charges and all
reasonable costs and expenses (including legal fees) incurred by Lender in connection with the
foregoing.
2.1.8 Intentionally Omitted.
2.1.9 Amount of Advances. In no event shall any Advance exceed the full amount of Project
Loan Costs theretofore paid or to be paid with the proceeds of such Advance plus any Project Loan
Costs incurred by Borrower through the date of the Draw Request for such Advance minus (i)
the applicable Retainage for each Contract and Subcontract, and (ii) the aggregate amount of any
Advances previously made by Lender. It is further understood that the
7
Retainage described above is
intended to provide a contingency fund protecting Lender against failure of Borrower or Guarantor
to fulfill any obligations under the Loan Documents, and that Lender may charge amounts to pay for
Project Loan Costs against such Retainage in the event Lender is required or elects to expend funds
to cure any Default or Event of Default, in either instance, in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. No Advance of the Loan by Lender shall be deemed to be an approval or acceptance by the
Lender of any work performed thereon or the materials furnished with respect thereto.
2.1.10 Loan-In-Balance. As used herein, a “Shortfall” shall mean, as to any Line Item in the
Development Budget as of any date, the amount determined by Lender, in Lender’s sole but
reasonable judgment, by which (A) the cost of completing or satisfying such Line Item, exceeds
(B) the remaining undisbursed portion of the Loan allocated to such Line Item in the Development
Budget plus any sums deposited with Lender pursuant to this Section 2.1.10 to pay for such
Line Item and not previously disbursed plus any Reserve Funds to the extent such Reserve Funds are
available hereunder for the payment of such Line Item. From time to time and at any time during
the Construction Period, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to notify Borrower
that it has determined a Shortfall exists as to any one or more Line Items. If Lender at any time
shall so notify Borrower, Borrower shall, at its option within five (5) days of Lender’s
notification as aforesaid, either: (i) deposit with Lender an amount equal to such
Shortfall, which Lender disburse to Borrower to the satisfaction of the costs of such Line
Item prior to advancing any further Loan proceeds on account of such costs; (ii) post an
irrevocable standby Letter of Credit in the amount of such Shortfall, in favor of Lender; (iii) to
the extent permitted under Sections 2.1.7 hereof and 5.1.33 of the Building Loan
Agreement, and following the satisfaction of the Initial Advance Conditions allocate the
Contingency Reserve, with respect to the Line Item(s) in question, to the Shortfall, and provided,
further that the amount of the remaining Contingency Reserve for such Line Item(s) (following the
allocation to the Shortfall) is sufficient for such Line Item(s), as determined by Lender in its
sole discretion; and (iv) to the extent permitted under Section 5.1.33 of the Building Loan
Agreement, and then only following the satisfaction of the Initial Advance Conditions, reallocate
cost savings from the Development Budget in respect of the Loan (or other reallocations which are
approved by Lender, in its sole discretion) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, but
only to the extent such cost savings can be allocated to the related Line Items. Borrower hereby
agrees that Lender shall have a lien on and security interest in, for the benefit of Lender, any
sums deposited pursuant to clause (i) above and that Borrower shall have no right to withdraw any
such sums except for the payment of the aforesaid costs as approved by Lender. Lender shall have
no obligation to make any further Advances of proceeds of the Loan as to any Line Item until the
sums required to be deposited pursuant to clause (i) above as to such Line Item have been
exhausted, or until Borrower has posted an irrevocable standby Letter of Credit pursuant to clause
(iii) above, as the case may be, and, in any such case, the Loan is back “in balance”. Any such
sums not used as provided in said clause (i) shall be released to Borrower when and to the extent
that Lender reasonably determines that the amount thereof is more than the excess, if any, of the
remaining Project-Related Costs over the undisbursed balance of the Loan, provided, however, that
should an Event of Default occur, Lender, in its sole discretion, may apply such amounts either to
the remaining Project-Related Costs or to the immediate reduction of outstanding principal and/or
interest under the Note.
8
2.1.11 Quality of Work. No Advance or any portion thereof shall be made with respect to
defective work or to any contractor that has performed work that is defective and that has not been
cured, as confirmed by the report of the Construction Consultant, but Lender may disburse all or
part of any Advance before the sum shall become due if Lender believes it advisable to do so, and
all such Advances or parts thereof shall be deemed to have been made pursuant to this Agreement.
2.1.12 Required Equity Funds. All Required Equity Funds shall be contributed (i.e., expended
by Borrower and invested by Borrower in the Property, for Project Related Costs set forth on the
approved Development Budget) before the Closing Date.
2.1.13 Trust Fund. Pursuant to Section 13 of the New York Lien Law, Borrower shall receive
the Advances hereunder and shall hold the right to receive the Advances as a trust fund to be
applied first for the purpose of paying the Costs of the Improvements and shall apply the Advances
first to the payment of the Cost of the Improvements on the Property before using any part of the
total of the same for any other purpose.
2.1.14 Final Project Report and Development Budget. The provisions of Section 2.1.14
of the Building Loan Agreement are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth herein.
2.1.15 Miscellaneous.
(a) The making of an Advance by Lender shall not constitute Lender’s approval or acceptance of
the construction theretofore completed. Lender’s inspection and approval of the Plans and
Specifications, the construction of the Project Improvements, or the workmanship and materials used
therein, shall impose no liability of any kind on Lender, the sole obligation of Lender as the
result of such inspection and approval being to make the Advances if and to the extent, required by
this Agreement.
(b) ALL POTENTIAL LIENORS ARE HEREBY CAUTIONED TO EXERCISE SOUND BUSINESS JUDGMENT IN THE
EXTENSION OF CREDIT TO BORROWER. NO POTENTIAL LIENOR SHOULD EXPECT LENDER TO MAKE ADVANCES OF THE
LOAN IN AMOUNTS AND AT TIMES SUCH THAT IT WILL NOT BE NECESSARY FOR EACH SUCH POTENTIAL LIENOR TO
EXERCISE SOUND BUSINESS JUDGMENT IN THE EXTENSION OF CREDIT TO BORROWER. MOREOVER, ALL POTENTIAL
LIENORS ARE REMINDED THAT SUBDIVISION (3) OF SECTION 13 OF THE NEW YORK LIEN LAW PROVIDES THAT
“NOTHING IN THIS SUBDIVISION SHALL BE CONSIDERED AS IMPOSING UPON THE LENDER ANY OBLIGATION TO SEE
THE PROPER APPLICATION OF SUCH ADVANCES BY THE OWNER,” AND LENDER DOES NOT IMPOSE SUCH AN
OBLIGATION ON ITSELF.
Section 2.2 Interest Rate.
2.2.1 Interest Rate. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue
from (and include) the Closing Date to but excluding the Maturity Date at the Interest Rate
calculated as set forth in Section 2.2.2 below.
9
2.2.2 Interest Calculation. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall
be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the
calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on the Interest Rate and a three hundred sixty
(360) day year by (c) the outstanding principal balance.
2.2.3 Default Rate
In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, all
accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Loan and any other amounts due pursuant to the Loan
Documents, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due
without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.
2.2.4 Usury Savings. This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are subject to
the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on
the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal
liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay
interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the
Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to
the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be
deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due
hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of
the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized,
prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full

Section 2.3 Loan Payment.
2.3.1 Monthly Debt Service Payments. Borrower shall pay to Lender (a) on the Closing Date,
an amount equal to interest only on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan from and
including the Closing Date up to and including December 31, 2007, which interest shall be
calculated in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2 hereof, and (b) on each Payment
Date commencing on the Payment Date occurring in February, 2008, and thereafter up to and including
the Maturity Date, Borrower shall make a payment to Lender equal to the Monthly Debt Service
Payment Amount, which payments shall be applied first to interest due for the related Interest
Period at the Interest Rate, for such related Interest Period and then to the principal amount of
the Loan due in accordance with this Agreement, and lastly, to any other amounts due and unpaid
pursuant to the Loan Documents hereto. Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that, on the
15th calendar day of the month preceding each Payment Date during the Construction Term:
(a) if and to the extent undrawn funds remain available for Advance under the Project Loan from the
Interest Reserve Line Item of the Project Loan Budget, and provided that that no Event of Default
or monetary Default then exists under any of the Loan Documents or would occur as a result of such
Advance, the Monthly Debt Service Amount then due and owing shall be advanced by Lender by a
Advance under Interest Reserve Line Item of the Project Loan Budget; and (b) if no amount remains
available under the Interest Reserve Line
10
Item but and to the extent Interest
Reserve Funds are on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account, and no Event of Default or
monetary Default then exists under any of the Loan Documents, the Monthly Debt Service Payment
Amount then due and payable shall be paid by application of funds from the Interest Reserve
Account. Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that Lender may automatically make an Advance
or apply Interest Reserve Funds on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account on each Payment Date
occurring during the Construction Term, in either instance, in accordance with this Section
2.3.1, without the need for Borrower to submit a Draw Request or otherwise request such an
Advance or application.
2.3.2 Payments Generally. The first Interest Period hereunder shall commence on and include
the Closing Date and shall end on and include December 31, 2007. Thereafter each Interest Period
shall commence on the first (1st) day of each calendar month during the term of this
Agreement and shall end on and include the final calendar date of such calendar month. For
purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating Interest Periods, if the
day on which such payment is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due
on the immediately preceding Business Day and with respect to payments of principal due on the
Maturity Date, interest shall be payable at the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may
be, through and including the day immediately preceding such Maturity Date. All amounts due under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim, defense
or any other deduction whatsoever.
2.3.3 Payment on Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the
outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts
due hereunder and under the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.
2.3.4 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan
Documents (including the amounts due on the Maturity Date) are not paid by Borrower on or prior to
the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser
of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the Maximum Legal Rate in order to defray the expense
incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for
the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage
and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.
2.3.5 Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all
payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than
11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the
United States of America in immediately available funds at Lender’s office or as otherwise directed
by Lender, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be
deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.
Section 2.4 Prepayments.
2.4.1 Voluntary Prepayments. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.4.1 and
Section 2.4.2, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part
11
prior to the Maturity Date. If for any reason Borrower prepays the Loan on a date other than a
Payment Date, Borrower shall pay Lender, in addition to the Debt, all interest which would have
accrued on the amount of the Loan through and including the Payment Date next occurring following
the date of such prepayment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, commencing
after the Payment Date three (3) months prior to the Maturity Date (the “Open Period Date”), or on
any Payment Date thereafter (or on any date thereafter, provided that interest is paid through the
next Payment Date), Borrower may, at its option, prepay the Debt in whole, but not in part, without
payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium.
2.4.2 Mandatory Prepayments. On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which
Lender actually receives any Net Proceeds, if Lender is not obligated to make such Net Proceeds
available to Borrower for the Restoration of the Property or otherwise remit such Net Proceeds to
Borrower pursuant to Section 6.4 of the Building Loan Agreement, Borrower shall prepay or authorize
Lender to apply Net Proceeds as a prepayment of all or a portion of the outstanding principal
balance of the Loan together with accrued interest through the end of the related Interest Period
and any other sums due hereunder in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net
Proceeds; provided, however, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may
apply such Net Proceeds to the Debt (until paid in full) in any order or priority in its sole
discretion. Other than following an Event of Default, no Yield Maintenance Premium shall be due in
connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2.
2.4.3 Prepayments After Default. If following an Event of Default, payment of all or any
part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower or otherwise recovered by Lender, such tender or recovery
shall be (a) made on the next occurring Payment Date together with the Monthly Debt Service Payment
and (b) deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower in violation of the prohibition against
prepayment set forth in Section 2.4.1 hereof and Borrower shall pay, in addition to the
Debt, an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Default Premium.
2.4.4 Prepayment Prior to Defeasance Expiration Date. If the Permitted Release Date has
occurred but the Defeasance Expiration Date has not occurred, the Debt may be prepaid in whole (but
not in part) prior to the date permitted under Section 2.4.1 hereof upon not less than thirty (30)
days prior written notice to Lender specifying the Payment Date on which prepayment is to be made
(a “Prepayment Date”) provided no Event of Default exists and upon payment of an amount equal to
the Yield Maintenance Premium. Lender shall notify Borrower of the amount and the basis of
determination of the required prepayment consideration. If any notice of prepayment is given, the
Debt shall be due and payable on the Prepayment Date.
Lender shall not be obligated to accept any prepayment of the Debt unless it is accompanied by
the prepayment consideration due in connection therewith. If for any reason Borrower prepays the
Loan on a date other than a Payment Date, Borrower shall pay Lender, in addition to the Debt, all
interest which would have accrued on the amount of the Loan through and including the Payment Date
next occurring following the date of such prepayment.
2.4.5 Application of Prepayments to Components. Any prepayment of the principal of
the Loan, in whole or in part, voluntary or involuntary, shall be applied (a) first, to the
reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Project Loan until reduced to zero, and (b)
second, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Building Loan until
12
reduced to
zero. Subsequent to any Event of Default, any payment of principal from whatever source may be
applied by Lender between the various components of the Loan in Lender’s sole discretion.
Section 2.5 Defeasance.
2.5.1 Voluntary Defeasance (a) Provided no Event of Default shall then exist, Borrower
shall have the right at any time after the Defeasance Expiration Date and prior to the date
voluntary prepayments are permitted under Section 2.4.1 hereof to voluntarily defease all, but not
part, of the Loan by and upon satisfaction of the following conditions (such event being a
“Defeasance Event”):

to Lender specifying the Payment Date (the “Defeasance Date”) on which the
Defeasance Event is to occur;
(ii) Borrower shall pay to Lender all accrued and unpaid interest on the
principal balance of the Loan to and including the Defeasance Date. If for any
reason the Defeasance Date is not a Payment Date, the Borrower shall also pay
interest that would have accrued on the Note through and including the Payment Date
immediately preceding the next Payment Date, provided, however, if
the Defeasance Deposit shall include short-term interest computed from the date of
such prepayment through to the next succeeding Payment Date, Borrower shall not be
required to pay such short term interest pursuant to this sentence;
(iii) Borrower shall pay to Lender all other sums, not including scheduled
interest or principal payments, then due under the Note, this Agreement, the
Mortgage and the other Loan Documents;

(vi) Borrower shall deliver an opinion of counsel for Borrower that is standard
in commercial lending transactions and subject only to customary qualifications,
assumptions and exceptions opining, among other things, that Borrower has legally
and validly transferred and assigned the U.S. Obligations and all obligations,
rights and duties under and to the Note to the Successor Borrower, that Lender has a
perfected first priority security interest in the Defeasance Deposit and the U.S.
Obligations delivered by Borrower and that any REMIC Trust formed pursuant to a
Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a “real estate mortgage
investment conduit” within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code as a result of
such Defeasance Event;
13
(vii) Borrower shall deliver confirmation in writing from each of the
applicable Rating Agencies to the effect that such release will not result in a
downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the respective ratings in effect
immediately prior to such Defeasance Event for the Securities issued in connection
with the Securitization which are then outstanding. If required by the applicable
Rating Agencies, Borrower shall also deliver or cause to be delivered an Additional
Insolvency Opinion with respect to the Successor Borrower in form and substance
satisfactory to Lender and the applicable Rating Agencies;
(viii) Borrower shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the
requirements set forth in this Section 2.5.1(a) have been satisfied;

(b) In connection with the Defeasance Event, Borrower shall use the Defeasance Deposit to
purchase U.S. Obligations which provide payments on or prior to, but as
close as possible to, all successive scheduled Payment Dates after the Defeasance Date upon
which interest and principal payments are required under this Agreement and the Note, and in
amounts equal to the scheduled payments due on such Payment Dates under this Agreement and the Note
(including, without limitation, scheduled payments of principal, interest, servicing fees (if any),
and any other amounts due under the Loan Documents on such Payment Dates) and assuming the Note is
prepaid in full on the Open Period Date (the “Scheduled Defeasance Payments”). Borrower, pursuant
to the Security Agreement or other appropriate document, shall authorize and direct that the
payments received from the U.S. Obligations may be made directly to the Clearing Account (unless
otherwise directed by Lender) and applied to satisfy the Debt Service obligations of Borrower under
this Agreement and the Note. Any portion of the Defeasance Deposit in excess of the amount
necessary to purchase the U.S. Obligations required by this Section 2.5 and satisfy

holding such securities or by the issuer thereof, as the case may be, to effectuate book-entry
transfers and pledges through the book-entry facilities of such institution) in order to perfect
upon the delivery of the defeasance collateral a first priority security interest therein in favor
of Lender in conformity with all applicable state and federal laws governing the granting of such
security interests.
2.5.3 Successor Borrower. In connection with any Defeasance Event, Borrower shall establish
a successor entity (the “Successor Borrower”), which shall be a Special Purpose Entity, which shall

connection with other defeased loans held in the same securitized loan pool with the Loan).
Borrower shall transfer and assign all obligations, rights and duties under and to the Note,
together with the pledged U.S. Obligations to such Successor Borrower. Such Successor Borrower
shall assume the obligations under the Note and the Security Agreement and Borrower shall be
relieved of its obligations under such documents. Borrower shall pay One Thousand and 00/100
Dollars ($1,000) to any such Successor Borrower as consideration for assuming the obligations under
the Note and the Security Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
no other assumption fee shall be payable upon a transfer of the Note in accordance with this
Section 2.5.3, but Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including
Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses and any fees and expenses of any Rating Agencies, incurred in
connection therewith.
Section 2.6 Release of Property. Except as set forth in this Section 2.6, no repayment,

than thirty (30) days prior to the Defeasance Date, a release of Lien (and related Loan Documents)

(30) year amortization schedule based upon a debt service constant equal to the greater of the
actual debt service constant and 10.65%.

Contractors and Major Subcontractors) and materialmen engaged in the construction of the
Improvements) shall have the right to rely on the satisfaction of such conditions and requirements
by Borrower. Lender shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to waive any such
condition or requirement.
Section 2.14 Method of Disbursement of Loan Proceeds.

Agreement or similar form approved by Lender, containing the certification of the General
Contractor or contractor or subcontractor to whom such payment is made, as applicable, and
Borrower’s Architect as to the accuracy of same, together with invoices relating to all items of
Hard Costs covered thereby and accompanied by a cost breakdown showing the cost of work on, and the
cost of materials incorporated into, the Improvements to the date of the requisition. The cost
breakdown shall also show the percentage of completion of each line item on the Project Loan
Budget, and the accuracy of the cost breakdown shall be certified by Borrower and by Borrower’s
Architect. All such applications for payment shall also show all contractors and subcontractors,
including Major Contractors and Major Subcontractors, by name and trade, the total amount of each
contract or subcontract, the amount theretofore paid to each subcontractor as of the date of such
application, and the amount to be paid from the proceeds of the Advance to each contractor and
subcontractor;
(b) the completed construction will be reviewed by the Construction Consultant who will
certify to Lender as to the value of completed construction, percentage of completion and
compliance with Plans and Specifications;
24
(c) lien waivers from each other Major Contractor and Major Subcontractors for work done and

(f) such other information, documentation and certification as Lender shall reasonably
request.
2.14.2 Procedure of Advances.
(a) Each Draw Request shall be submitted to Lender and Construction Consultant at least ten
(10) Business Days prior to the Requested Advance Date, and no more frequently than monthly.
Lender shall make the requested Advance on the Requested Advance Date so long as all conditions to
such Advance are satisfied or waived.
(b) Not later than 11:00 A.M. New York City time, on the Requested Advance Date, Lender shall
make such Advance available to Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.14.
(c) Each Advance (other than the Final Advance) shall be in an amount of not less than
$250,000.00.
(d) Each Advance shall be made on a Payment Date.
2.14.3 Funds Advanced. Each Advance shall be made by Lender by wire transfer to such
checking account of Borrower as specified to Lender in writing or as provided in Section
2.14.4 below. All proceeds of all Advances shall be used by Borrower only for the purposes for
which such Advances were made. Borrower shall not commingle such funds with other funds of
Borrower.
2.14.4 Direct Advances to Third Parties. Lender may make, at Lender’s option, any or all
Advances directly or through the Title Company to (i) any Contractor, as applicable, for
construction expenses which shall theretofore have been approved by Lender and for which Borrower
shall have failed to make payment after receipt by Borrower of such applicable Advance, (ii)
Borrower’s Architect to pay its fees to the extent funds are allocated thereto in the Building Loan
Budget if Borrower shall have failed to do so, (iii) the Construction Consultant to pay its fees,
(iv) Lender’s counsel to pay its fees, (v) to pay (x) any installment of interest due under the
Note, (y) any expenses incurred by Lender which are reimbursable by Borrower under the Loan
Documents (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, reasonable attorneys’ fees
and expenses and other fees and expenses incurred by Lender), provided that Borrower shall
theretofore have received notice from Lender that such expenses have been
25
incurred and Borrower shall have failed to reimburse Lender for said expenses beyond any grace
periods provided for said reimbursement under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, or (z) following the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, any other sums
due to Lender under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, all to the extent
that the same are not paid by the respective due dates thereof, and (vi) any other Person to whom
Lender in good faith determines payment is due and any portion of the Loan so disbursed by Lender
shall be deemed disbursed as of the date on which the Person to whom payment is made receives the
same. The execution of this Agreement by Borrower shall, and hereby does, constitute an
irrevocable authorization so to advance the proceeds of the Loan directly to any such Person or
through the Title Company to such Persons in accordance with this Section 2.14.4 as amounts
become due and payable to them hereunder and any portion of the Loan so disbursed by Lender shall
be deemed disbursed as of the date on which the Person to whom payment is made receives the same.
No further authorization from Borrower shall be necessary to warrant such direct Advances to such
relevant Person, and all such Advances shall satisfy pro tanto the obligations of Lender hereunder
and shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents as fully as if made directly to
Borrower.
2.14.5 One Advance Per Month. Lender shall have no obligation to make Advances of the Loan
more often than once in each calendar month except that Lender, in its sole discretion, shall have
the right but not the obligation, to make additional advances per month for interest, fees and
expenses due under the Loan Documents.
2.14.6 Advances Do Not Constitute a Waiver. No Advance shall constitute a waiver of any of
the conditions of Lender’s obligation to make further Advances nor, in the event Borrower is unable
to satisfy any such condition, shall any Advance have the effect of precluding Lender from
thereafter declaring such inability to be an Event of Default hereunder.
2.14.7 Trust Fund Provisions. All proceeds advanced hereunder shall be subject to the trust
fund provisions of Section 13 of the Lien Law. Nothing contained in this Agreement is
intended to constitute a promise by Borrower, express or implied, or to create any obligation,
express or implied, on the part of Borrower, to make an “improvement,” as such term is defined in
the Lien Law of the State of New York, and no advance of proceeds of the Loan shall at any time be
conditioned, directly or indirectly, upon the making of any such “improvement”.
2.14.8 Advances and Disbursements Under Completion Guaranty. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, Borrower hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally authorizes Lender to make any disbursements of proceeds of the Loan or of any
Reserve Funds held by Lender to Guarantor in accordance with the Guaranty of Completion.
Section 2.15 Interest Advances. Notwithstanding the requirements contained in Section 2.10,
Section 2.11 and Section 2.12, and provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred, Lender
shall make an Advance on each Payment Date during the Construction Term from the Interest Reserve
Line Item, if and to the extent funds remain available under such line item, to pay interest then
due under the Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to the extent that funds are available
in the Additional Interest Reserve Deposit, Lender shall first apply funds
26
available in the Additional Interest Reserve Deposit to the payment of interest due, prior to
making an Advance for such purpose. Nothing contained in this Section 2.15 shall limit or
derogate from Borrower’s absolute and unconditional obligation to pay interest due under the Note.

security interest in each of the Reserve Funds and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in
each Reserve Fund as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in
accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt. Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies
available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the payment
of the Debt in any order in its sole discretion. The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust
funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. All interest on a Reserve Fund shall
not be added to or become a part thereof and shall be the sole property of and shall be paid to
Lender. Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other
tax applicable to the interest earned on the Reserve Funds credited or paid to Borrower. Borrower
shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant
any security interest in any Reserve Fund or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or
encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements,
except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. Lender shall
not be liable for any loss sustained on the investment of any funds constituting the Reserve Funds.
Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions,
suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including
litigation costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected
with the Reserve Funds or the performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds were
established. Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all
persons or entities supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or
secured by the Reserve Funds; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim
unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.

privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in

the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any
foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of
the Loan Documents with respect to all or any part of the Property. Any such actions taken by
Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly,
successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its
sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting
the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein
or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees
that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or
“election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges
provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its
remedies against the Property and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized
upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.

(b) With respect to Borrower and the Property, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan
Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to the Property for the satisfaction of
any of the Debt in any preference or priority, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the
Property, or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition,
Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and
for any amounts secured by the Mortgage then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole
discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower
defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of
principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments or
(ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of
the Loan, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan
as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect.
Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage
to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.
(c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan
Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed
Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for
purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall
execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance
agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance
described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled
with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to
effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue
thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power
until three (3) Business Days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent
to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall be obligated to pay any costs or expenses
incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan
Documents and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or
covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained
in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
Section 8.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this
Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender
may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at
law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly,
concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole
discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of
Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but
any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed
expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be
construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any
remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

Section 10.8 Headings. The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents in this
Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of
this Agreement for any other purpose.
Section 10.9 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision

such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Section 10.10 Preferences. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse
and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the obligations of Borrower
hereunder. To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds
or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set
aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law,
state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or
proceeds received, the obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be
revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received
by Lender.
37
Section 10.11 Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature
whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and
except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal
Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right
to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to
Borrower.
Section 10.12 Remedies of Borrower. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender
or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or
under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an
obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall
be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an
action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action
or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action
seeking declaratory judgment.
Section 10.13 Expenses; Indemnity. (1) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails
to pay, to reimburse, Lender upon receipt of written notice from Lender for all reasonable costs
and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in
connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and
all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower (including without limitation any
opinions requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents with respect to the Property); (ii) Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with
Borrower’s respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including, without
limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) Lender’s
ongoing performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date;

amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any
other documents or matters requested by Lender; (v) securing Borrower’s compliance with any
requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; (vi) the filing and recording fees and
expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all
required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Lien in
favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vii) enforcing or
preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any
action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Property, or any other security given for the Loan; and
(viii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Property (including any fees incurred by
Servicer in connection with the transfer of the Loan to a special servicer prior to a Default or
Event of Default) or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements
provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any insolvency
38
or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the
payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross
negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. Any cost and expenses due and
payable to Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Clearing Account or Cash Management Account,
as applicable.
(a) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all
other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims,
costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation,
the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative,
administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be
designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any
manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any
material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or
(ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified
Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder
to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts,
fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and
hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law
or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy
under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by
Lender.
(b) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender
for, any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any consent, approval,
waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such
fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver
or confirmation.
Section 10.14
Schedules and Exhibits Incorporated. The Schedules and Exhibits annexed to the
Building Loan Agreement are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same
effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
Section 10.15
Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this
Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets,
counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have
against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be
interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon
such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or
defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
Section 10.16 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or
39
therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint
tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property
other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.
(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and
Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to
confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the
performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to
the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the
benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such
conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make
the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall
under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may
be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it
advisable or desirable to do so.
Section 10.17 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates
through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the
financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender, BSCMI, or any of their Affiliates shall be
subject to the prior written approval of Lender.
Section 10.18
Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower,
for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of
Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, and
agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in
inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or
any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan
Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different
resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds
of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
Section 10.19
Waiver of Counterclaim. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim,
other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or
its agents.
Section 10.20
Identical Obligations; Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. To the extent
that Borrower has identical obligations under this Agreement and under any of the other Loan
Agreements, performance by Borrower of such obligations under this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Agreements shall be deemed performance by Borrower, as applicable, under all such Loan
Agreements and hereunder of such obligations. In the event of any conflict between the provisions
of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall
control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in
connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan
Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which
drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on
its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any
statements, representations or recommendations of
40
Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any
limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the
Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the
ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them
may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or
take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights
or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings
and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive
with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
Section 10.21
Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no
financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and
hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any
kind (including Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a
claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the
transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.21 shall survive the
expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.
Section 10.22 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire
agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written,
including, without limitation, the Commitment Letter dated June 28, 2007 between Borrower and
Lender are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 10.23
Joint and Several Liability. If Borrower consists of more than one (1) Person the
obligations and liabilities of each Person shall be joint and several.
Section 10.24
Certain Additional Rights of Lender (VCOC). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have:
(a) the right to routinely consult with and advise Borrower’s management regarding the
significant business activities and business and financial developments of Borrower;
provided, however, that such consultations shall not include discussions of
environmental compliance programs or disposal of hazardous substances. Consultation meetings
should occur on a regular basis (no less frequently than quarterly) with Lender having the right to
call special meetings at any reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice;
(b) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books and
records of Borrower at any reasonable times upon reasonable notice;
(c) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation,
Section 5.1.11 hereof, to receive monthly, quarterly and year end financial
reports, including balance sheets, statements of income, shareholder’s equity and cash flow, a
management report and schedules of outstanding indebtedness; and
41
(d) the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including
any similar right), to approve any acquisition by Borrower of any other significant property (other
than personal property required for the day to day operation of the Property and/or construction of
the Project Improvements).
The rights described above in this Section 10.24 may be exercised by any entity which
owns and controls, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the interests in Lender.
Section 10.25 MERS. Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MERS”),
serves as mortgagee of record and secured party solely as nominee, in an administrative capacity,
for Lender and only holds legal title to the interests granted, assigned, and transferred in the
Mortgage and the Assignments of Leases. MERS shall at all times comply with the instructions of
Lender. If necessary to comply with law or custom, MERS (for the benefit of Lender) may be
directed by Lender to exercise any or all of those interests, including without limitation, the
right to foreclose and sell the Property, and take any action required of Lender, including without
limitation, a release, discharge or reconveyance of the Mortgage. Subject to the foregoing, all
references in the Loan Documents to “Mortgagee” shall include Lender and its successors and
assigns. The relationship of Mortgagor and Lender under the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents
is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrower and lender (the role of MERS thereunder
being solely that of nominee as set forth above and not that of a lender); and Mortgagee neither
undertakes nor assumes any responsibility or duty to Borrower or to any other Person with respect
to the Property.
