The balance, if any, shall be added to the working capital of Borrower.

Section 2.2 Interest; Loan Payments; Late Payment Charge; Facility Fee; Exit Fee.

2.2.1 Payments

(a) Interest. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue from the Closing Date to the Maturity Date at the Applicable Interest Rate. Not less than three Business Days prior to each Interest Period, Borrower shall elect in writing which Applicable Interest Rate shall apply to the Loan for such Interest Period. If Borrower shall fail to select, prior to the expiration of any Interest Period, which Applicable Interest Rate shall apply during the next succeeding Interest Period, Borrower shall be deemed to have selected the Eurodollar Rate for such succeeding Interest Period. If Borrower shall fail to select, prior to the expiration of any Interest Period, the duration of the next succeeding Interest Period, Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month. Monthly installments of interest shall be paid on each Payment Date commencing on July 31, 2007 and on each subsequent Payment Date thereafter up to and including the Maturity Date. The outstanding principal balance of the Loan together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.

(b) All payments and other amounts due under the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be made without any setoff, defense or irrespective of, and without deduction for, counterclaims.

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 equal to the Applicable Interest Rate divided by 360 by (c) the outstanding principal balance.

2.2.3 Eurodollar Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs.

(a) (i) In the event that Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, then Lender shall forthwith give notice by telephone of such determination to Borrower with a written confirmation of such determination promptly thereafter. If such notice is given, the Loan shall bear interest at the Adjusted Base Rate beginning on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period.

(ii) If, pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.2.3, the Loan is bearing interest at the Adjusted Base Rate and Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable, Lender shall give notice thereof to Borrower by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower as soon as reasonably practical, but in no event later than three (3) Business Days prior to the last day of the then current Interest Period. If such notice is given, and Borrower so requests, the Loan may bear interest at the Eurodollar Rate beginning on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period.

(b) If any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for Lender in good faith to make or maintain the Loan bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate, the Loan shall automatically bear interest at the Adjusted Base Rate in the next succeeding Interest Period or within such earlier period as required by Applicable Law. Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay Lender (within ten (10) days of Lender’s written demand therefor) any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any costs incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the Loan hereunder. Lender’s written notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(c) In the event that any change occurring after the date hereof in any requirement of any Applicable Law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance in good faith by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter issued from any Governmental Authority which is generally applicable to all lenders subject to such Governmental Authority’s jurisdiction:

(i) shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR hereunder;

(ii) shall, if the Loan is then bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate, hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material; or

(iii) shall, if the Loan is then bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate, hereafter impose on Lender any other condition, the result of which is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining the Loans or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder;

then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender (within ten (10) days of Lender’s written demand therefor), any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable on account of the Loan which Lender deems to be material. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(c), Lender shall provide Borrower with written notice specifying in reasonable detail the event or circumstance by reason of which Lender has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount. A certificate as to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. This provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(d) Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any loss or expense which Lender sustains or incurs directly as a consequence of (i) any default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on the Loan while bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate, including, without limitation, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the Eurodollar Rate, (ii) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the Loan while bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate on a day that is not the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto, and (iii) the conversion (for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of the Applicable Interest Rate from the Eurodollar Rate to the Adjusted Base Rate with respect to the Loan while bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto, including, without limitation, such loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by Lender in order to maintain the Eurodollar Rate hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”). This provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

2.2.4 Payment on Maturity Date.

Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note and the other Loan Documents.

2.2.5 Payments after Default.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan, shall accrue at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due after giving effect to any grace or cure periods contained herein. Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the default until the actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then due). To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the Pledge Agreements and the Mortgages. This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default.

2.2.6 Usury Savings.

This Agreement and the Note 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 Applicable 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 so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

2.2.7 Additional Interest and Collateral.

Commencing 150 days after June 11, 2007, the Applicable Interest Rate shall increase by 2.00% per annum at any and all times that the aggregate Collateral Value of all Specified Equity Interests, Specified Real Property Interests and Specified Debt that are subject to Pledge Agreements or Mortgages, as applicable, and that satisfy all Other Required Pledge Conditions, is less than $400,000,000. This Section 2.2.7 shall not be deemed to require Borrower or any other Collateral Entity to grant a security interest in any Specified Equity Interest, Specified Real Property Interest or Specified Debt after June 11, 2007, it being understood that, if the Collateral Value is less than $400,000,000 at any time commencing 150 days after June 11, 2007, Lender’s rights, in addition to those under Section 2.3.2 hereof, shall be limited to receiving the additional interest required hereunder. In addition, Borrower and Lender agree that, notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary, it is not contemplated by the parties hereto that any assets of the PGRT Entities, other than Borrower’s interest in the Initial Collateral, will be Collateral for the Loan. For the avoidance of uncertainty, it is agreed that Collateral may include equity interests in the REIT and Prime Group Realty, L.P.

2.3.1 Voluntary Prepayments.

(a) Borrower shall provide prior written notice to Lender specifying the amount of such prepayment and the date (the “Prepayment Date”) upon which the prepayment is to be made, which notice shall be delivered to Lender not less than three days prior to such prepayment; and

The term “Market Rate” means the rate of interest per annum at which deposits in United States dollars are offered by Citibank’s principal office in London, England, to prime banks in the London interbank market at 11:00 a.m. (London time) two Business Days before the date of such prepayment in an amount substantially equal to the amount of such prepayment and for a deposit period comparable to the remaining Interest Period, as determined by Lender in its sole discretion, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(ii) $75,000,000 (including any amount prepaid under clause (i) hereof) at any time that the Collateral Value is less than $250,000,000.

This subsection (b) shall not be deemed to require Borrower or any other Collateral Entity to grant a security interest in any Specified Equity Interest, Specified Real Property Interest or Specified Debt after June 11, 2007, it being understood that, if the Collateral Value is less than the amount specified in subsection (b)(i) or (b)(ii) at any time commencing 150 days after June 11, 2007, Lender’s rights, in addition to those under Section 2.2.7 hereof, shall be limited to receiving the prepayment required thereunder. In addition, Borrower and Lender agree that, notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary, it is not contemplated by the parties hereto that any assets of the PGRT Entities, other than Borrower’s interest in the Initial Collateral, will be Collateral for the Loan. For the avoidance of uncertainty, it is agreed that Collateral may include equity interests in the REIT and Prime Group Realty, L.P.

(c) Borrower shall pay to Lender, simultaneously with any prepayment hereunder, if the Loan is then bearing interest by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, the amount of any Interest Shortfall and, without duplication thereof, all Breakage Costs.

2.3.3 Prepayments After Default.

Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the first Business Day succeeding such scheduled due date.

2.3.5 Application of Prepayments.

All prepayments received pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be applied first, to interest on the outstanding principal balance being prepaid that accrued through and including the Prepayment Date, second, to the Interest Shortfall and Breakage Costs, if any, third, to the Exit Fee, and fourth, to the payment of principal due under the Loan and any other amounts due under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.3, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at Borrower’s option, Lender shall hold in escrow for the benefit of Lender all amounts intended or required to be applied as prepayments of any principal amounts of the Loan that bear interest by reference to the Eurodollar Rate and shall release such amounts from escrow and apply them to such principal amounts upon the next applicable Payment Dates in prepayment thereof, it being understood and agreed that interest shall continue to accrue on such principal amounts until such time as such prepayments are released from escrow and applied to reduce such principal amounts; provided, however, that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, such escrowed amounts may be immediately applied to any of the Obligations without regard to any such Payment Dates.

Section 2.4 Release on Payment in Full.

Section 3.1 Establishment of Blocked Account.

Borrower shall cause all payments made in respect of the Units to be made to the Blocked Account, unless and until otherwise directed by Lender, and shall deposit into the Blocked Account an amount equal to the principal or interest due and payable hereunder no later than one Business Day before such payment is due and owing to Lender. Lender and its servicer, if any, shall have the sole right at all times to make withdrawals from the Blocked Account and Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to instruct Citibank to debit the Blocked Account by the amount of the principal and interest payment due on each date on which such principal or interest is due (and Lender will make withdrawals therefrom to make payments of accrued interest and/or principal due and unpaid hereunder without duplication). If Lender or its servicer withdraws from the Blocked Account an amount sufficient to pay accrued interest on any Payment Date and there are any amounts remaining in the Blocked Account after such payment of accrued interest, Lender shall transfer such remaining amounts to any account to which Borrower directs promptly upon receipt of such direction. Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses for establishing and maintaining the Blocked Account. If, on any Payment Date (other than the Maturity Date, if it is a Payment Date), the amount then on deposit in the Blocked Account is less than the amount of the accrued interest required to be paid to Lender under this Agreement and the Note on such Payment Date, Borrower shall deposit in a deposit account of Borrower maintained with and at Citibank the amount of such deficiency. Borrower shall have ten (10) Business Days following Borrower’s receipt of such notice from Lender of such deficiency to pay such deficiency.

Section 3.2 Lockbox Arrangements.

Without limitation of the requirement of Section 2.3.2(a) hereof, Borrower shall cause the Lockbox Arrangement to become effective within 150 days after June 11, 2007.

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is or will be a party have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of Borrower and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

4.1.3 No Conflicts.

The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is or will be a party will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien, charge or encumbrance (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property or assets of Borrower pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement, management agreement or other agreement or instrument (including, without limitation, its charter or by-laws) to which Borrower is or will be a party or by which any of Borrower’s property or assets is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of Borrower’s assets, or any license or other approval required to own and manage its assets, and any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents to which it is or will be a party has been obtained and is in full force and effect.

4.1.4 Litigation.

There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending or threatened against or affecting Borrower or the Initial Collateral which actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against Borrower or the Initial Collateral, might materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower or the Initial Collateral.

5.2.1 Liens.

Borrower shall not enter into, or be a party to, any transaction with an Affiliate of Borrower or either Guarantor or any of the shareholders of Borrower except in the ordinary course of business and on terms which are no less favorable to Borrower than would be obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with an unrelated third party.

5.2.6 Transfers.

(a) Borrower shall not permit or suffer a Sale or Pledge by Borrower of an interest in the Collateral or any other assets (collectively, a “Transfer”), other than Permitted Encumbrances, without the prior written consent of Lender.

(c) Lender shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in order to declare the Debt immediately due and payable upon a Transfer in violation of this Section 5.2.6. This provision shall apply to every Transfer regardless of whether voluntary or not, or whether or not Lender has consented to any previous Transfer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.2.6, no transfer (whether or not such transfer shall constitute a Transfer) shall be made to any Prohibited Person.

5.2.7 Distributions.

Borrower will not directly or indirectly, pay any dividends or distributions on, purchase, redeem or retire any shares of any class of its capital stock or other equity interests or any warrants, options or rights to purchase any such capital stock or other equity interests, whether now or hereafter outstanding, or make any other distribution in respect thereof, either directly or indirectly, whether in cash or property, without Lender’s prior written consent; provided, however, that so long as there is no then-existing Default or Event of Default, Borrower shall be permitted to declare and pay dividends and distributions on its capital stock from time to time, provided that in the case of a Default, such dividends and distributions shall not constitute a violation of the terms of this Section 5.2.7 so long as such Default does not become an Event of Default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, even if a Default or Event of Default exists, so long as no “Restricted Payment Event” exists Borrower shall be permitted to declare and pay dividends and distributions on its capital stock from time to time in an amount necessary for Prime Group Realty Trust (the “REIT”) to maintain its status as a real estate investment trust under the Code and to avoid the imposition of any corporate level tax on the REIT on the net income attributable to the Units (the amount of such permitted distribution being determined by the total net income of the REIT attributable to the Units). As used herein, “Restricted Payment Event” shall mean any of the following: (i) the non-payment of any principal payment due hereunder or under the Note when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise), (ii) non-payment of any principal payment required pursuant to Section 2.3.2 hereof, (iii) nonpayment of interest upon the Note or of any fee or other payment Obligations under any of the Loan Documents when due, (iv) the breach of any of the terms or provisions of Sections 5.2.1 or 5.2.6, (v) an Event of Default under clauses (iv) or (v) of Section 6.1(a) hereof, or (vi) a default under paragraph IV(c) or (d) of either Guaranty. If any Restricted Payment Event occurs that is not an immediate Event of Default because a grace or notice period has not expired, and such Restricted Payment Event is cured prior to the time the Restricted Payment Event would constitute an Event of Default, then for purposes of this Section 5.2.7, such Restricted Payment Event shall be deemed not to have occurred.

VI. DEFAULTS

Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by Applicable 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) to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, 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 Collateral and the Collateral 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 Collateral, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to the Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other collateral, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the Collateral 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 upon the Collateral in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Borrower Control Agreement, any Pledge Agreement or any 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 upon the Collateral 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 upon the Collateral to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Borrower Control Agreement, the Pledge Agreements or the Mortgages as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral shall remain subject to the Borrower Control Agreement, the Pledge Agreements and the Mortgages to secure payment of sums secured by the Borrower Control Agreement, the Pledge Agreements and the Mortgages and not previously recovered.

(c) Lender shall have the right, from time to time (at Lender’s cost and expense or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense), to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, pledges 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 and Borrower. 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 and the Severed Loan Documents shall not increase Borrower’s obligations or decrease Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents.

(d) Any amounts recovered from the Collateral after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, Borrower shall be fully liable for repayment of all the Obligations, provided that Lender agrees not to enforce any judgment it may obtain against Borrower with respect to the Obligations against any of Borrower’s assets other than the Initial Collateral. Lender further agrees that it shall not have or seek recourse to the PGRT Entities (other than to realize on pledges of the equity interests in the REIT and Prime Group Realty, L.P.) or their respective assets, other than to Borrower to the extent described in the previous sentence as to the Initial Collateral, for the payment of the Obligations. Lender’s recourse against Guarantors under the Guaranties, and Lender’s rights and remedies against all other Collateral Entities and all other Collateral, shall in no way be limited or otherwise be affected hereby.

Section 6.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers.

Subject to Section 6.2(e) above, 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 or the other Loan Parties 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 or more Defaults or Events 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 6.4 Rights to Cure Defaults.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder or any other Loan Party from any obligation under any other Loan Document, make any payment or do any act required of Borrower hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem reasonably necessary to protect the security hereof. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after notice from Lender that such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.

Section 6.5 Power of Attorney.

For the purpose of carrying out the provisions and exercising the rights, powers and privileges granted in this Article VI, Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments and do and perform any acts as are referred to in this Article VI in the name and on behalf of Borrower, provided, however, that Lender shall not make or execute any such instruments or do or perform any such acts until ten (10) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.

VII. SPECIAL PROVISIONS

Section 7.3 Reinstatement.

This Agreement and each other Loan Document shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Debt or any part thereof, is, pursuant to Applicable Law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by Borrower, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Debt shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

VIII. MISCELLANEOUS

Section 8.1 Survival.

This Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the making by Lender of the Loan and the execution and delivery to Lender of the Note, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as all or any of the Debt is outstanding and unpaid unless a longer period is expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the legal representatives, successors and assigns of such party. All covenants, promises and agreements in this Agreement, by or on behalf of Borrower, shall inure to the benefit of the legal representatives, successors and assigns of Lender.

Section 8.2 Lender’s Discretion.

Whenever pursuant to this Agreement, Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole discretion of Lender and shall be final and conclusive.

Section 8.3 Governing Law.

(a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT ENTERED INTO PURSUANT TO THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED, CONSTRUED, APPLIED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS).

(b) WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OR ACTION ARISING HEREUNDER OR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE, OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, BORROWER (A) IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK, AND APPELLATE COURTS FROM ANY THEREOF, AND (B) IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE AT ANY TIME TO THE LAYING ON VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT, IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

Section 8.4 Modification, Waiver in Writing.

No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the Note, or of any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on Borrower, shall entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

Section 8.5 Delay Not a Waiver.

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

THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. LENDER IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY BORROWER.

Section 8.8 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 8.9 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 of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under Applicable Law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

Section 8.10 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.

Section 8.11 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 8.12 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 8.13 Expenses; Indemnity.

(a) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender within five (5) days of 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 reasonably requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents); (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; (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; (iv) if requested by or on behalf of Borrower, the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters reasonably requested by Lender; (v) securing Borrower’s compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; (vi) the filing (including, without limitation, the UCC Financing Statement) and recording fees and expenses, 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 Liens 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 Collateral, or any other security given for the Loan; (viii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Collateral 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 or bankruptcy proceedings; and (ix) conducting appraisals of the Specified Real Property Interests and/or the Collateral, provided, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to pay or reimburse the cost of such appraisals unless there shall then exist an Event of Default or a Default or if required under Applicable Law; 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 or any other Indemnified Party. Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Blocked Account.

(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Indemnified Party 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 or any other Indemnified Party. 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.

Section 8.14 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 8.15 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 therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and 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 8.16 Publicity.

All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower, either Guarantor or their respective 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 or any of its Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, disclosure required by any federal or State securities laws, rules or regulations, as determined by Borrower’s counsel, shall not be subject to the prior written approval of Lender.

Section 8.17 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets.

To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s equity holders and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Collateral, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of all or part of the Collateral, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Collateral 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 Collateral in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.

Section 8.18 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 8.19 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance.

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 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 Lender 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 8.20 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 8.20 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.

Section 8.21 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, between Borrower and/or its Affiliates and Lender are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 8.22 Counterparts: Telecopied Signatures

This Agreement and any waiver or amendment hereto may be executed in counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but both of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents may be executed and delivered by telecopier or other facsimile transmission all with the same force and effect as if the same was a fully executed and delivered original manual counterpart.
