and Borrower hereby agrees to accept the Loan on the Closing Date.
2.1.2 Single Disbursement to Borrower.
Borrower may request and receive only one borrowing hereunder in respect of the Loan and any
amount borrowed and repaid hereunder in respect of the Loan may not be reborrowed.
2.1.3 The Note, Security Instrument and Loan Documents.
The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note and secured by the Security Instrument, the Assignment
of Leases and the other Loan Documents.
2.1.4 Use of Proceeds.
- 21 -
Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan to (a) acquire the Property, (b) pay closing costs
and expenses associated with the acquisition of the Property, (c) make deposits into the Reserve
Funds on the Closing Date in the amounts provided herein or in the other Loan Documents, (d) pay
costs and expenses incurred in connection with the closing of the Loan, as approved by Lender, or
(e) fund any working capital requirements of the Property. The balance, if any, shall be
distributed to Borrower.
Section 2.2 Interest; Loan Payments; Late Payment Charge.
2.2.1 Payments.
(a) Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue from the Closing
Date to but excluding the Maturity Date at the Applicable Interest Rate. Monthly installments of
interest only shall be paid on each Payment Date commencing on July 11, 2006 and on each subsequent
Payment Date thereafter up to and including the Maturity Date. Interest on the outstanding
principal amount of the Loan for the period through and including June 10, 2006 shall be paid by
Borrower on the Closing 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 three hundred sixty (360) by (c) the
outstanding principal balance.
2.2.3 Intentionally Omitted.
2.2.4 Intentionally Omitted.
2.2.5 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, the
Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.
2.2.6 Payments after Default.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (a) 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 without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein and
(b) Lender shall be entitled to receive and Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date an
amount equal to the Net Cash Flow After Debt Service for the prior month, such amount to be applied
by Lender to the
- 22 -
payment of the Debt in such order as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion, including,
without limitation, alternating applications thereof between interest and principal. Interest at
the Default Rate and Net Cash Flow After Debt Service shall both 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
Security Instrument. 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; the acceptance of any payment of Net
Cash Flow After Debt Service shall not be deemed to cure or constitute a waiver of any Event of
Default; and Lender retains its rights under the Note to accelerate and to continue to demand
payment of the Debt upon the happening of any Event of Default, despite any payment of Net Cash
Flow After Debt Service.
2.2.7 Late Payment Charge.
If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents is not paid by
Borrower on 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 amount permitted by Applicable
Law 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 Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents to the extent
permitted by Applicable Law.
2.2.8 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.
2.2.9 Indemnified Taxes.
- 23 -
(a) All payments made by Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without
reduction for or on account of, Indemnified Taxes, excluding (i) Indemnified Taxes measured by
Lender’s or any Co-Lender’s net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction
under the laws of which Lender or any Co-Lender is resident or organized, or any political
subdivision thereof, (ii) taxes measured by Lender’s or any Co-Lender’s overall net income, and
franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of Lender’s or such Co-Lender’s applicable
lending office or any political subdivision thereof or in which Lender or such Co-Lender is
resident or engaged in business, and (iii) withholding taxes imposed by the United States of
America, any state, commonwealth, protectorate territory or any political subdivision or taxing
authority thereof or therein as a result of the failure of Lender or any Co-Lender which is a
Non-U.S. Entity to comply with the terms of paragraph (b) below. If any non excluded Indemnified
Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Lender or any Co-Lender hereunder,
the amounts so payable to Lender or such Co-Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to
yield to Lender or such Co-Lender (after payment of all non excluded Indemnified Taxes) interest or
any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rate or in the amounts specified hereunder.
Whenever any non excluded Indemnified Tax is payable pursuant to Applicable Law by Borrower,
Borrower shall send to Lender or the applicable Co-Lender an original official receipt showing
payment of such non excluded Indemnified Tax or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory
to Lender or the applicable Co-Lender. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender and each Co-Lender for
any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Lender or any Co-Lender
which may result from any failure by Borrower to pay any such non excluded Indemnified Tax when due
to the appropriate taxing authority or any failure by Borrower to remit to Lender or any Co-Lender
the required receipts or other required documentary evidence.
(b) In the event that Lender or any Co-Lender or any successor and/or assign of Lender or any
Co-Lender is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (a
“Non-U.S. Entity”) Lender and such Co-Lender agrees that, prior to the first date on which any
payment is due such entity hereunder, it will deliver to Borrower two duly completed copies of
United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or successor applicable form, as the
case may be, certifying in each case that such entity is entitled to receive payments under the
Note, without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Each entity
required to deliver to Borrower a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI pursuant to the preceding sentence further
undertakes to deliver to Borrower two further copies of such forms, or successor applicable forms,
or other manner of certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such form
expires (which, in the case of the Form W-8ECI, is the last day of each U.S. taxable year of the
Non-U.S. Entity) or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the
most recent form previously delivered by it to Borrower, and such other extensions or renewals
thereof as may reasonably be requested by Borrower, certifying in the case of a Form W-8BEN or
W-8ECI that such entity is entitled to receive payments under the Note without deduction or
withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless in any such case an event (including,
without limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on
which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms
- 24 -
inapplicable or which would prevent such entity from duly completing and delivering any such
form with respect to it and such entity advises Borrower that it is not capable of receiving
payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.
2.2.10 Replacement of Co-Lender.

owing pursuant to Section 2.2.9 hereof with a replacement financial institution, provided that (A)
such replacement does not conflict with any Applicable Law, (B) no Event of Default shall have

date of prepayment shall specify a date of prepayment no later than the first Payment Date
following the date of prepayment specified in the initial notice to Lender. In the event of a
rescission, revocation or failure to prepay the Loan on the date set forth in any notice of
prepayment (or amendment thereof), Borrower shall pay Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses
incurred as a result of Lender’s receipt of such notice of prepayment and such subsequent
rescission, revocation or failure to prepay the Loan.
2.3.2 Mandatory Prepayments.
- 25 -

to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for the restoration of the Property, Borrower shall
prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Note in an amount equal to the sum of one hundred
percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds. In the event that the application of such Net Proceeds shall

upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice to Lender, such notice to be given no later than
fifteen (15) days following the application of such Net Proceeds, prepay any such remaining
outstanding principal balance of the Note together with all accrued and unpaid interest on the
amount of principal being prepaid through and including the date of prepayment and, if such
prepayment occurs on a date which is not a Payment Date, the Interest Shortfall Payment. Borrower
shall have no right to rescind, revoke or amend any such notice of prepayment. No Yield
Maintenance Premium or any other premium or penalty shall be due in connection with any prepayment
made pursuant to this Section 2.3.2.
2.3.3 Prepayments After Default.
If, prior to the Permitted Prepayment Date and 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 deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower in violation of the prohibition against
prepayment set forth in Section 2.3.1 and Borrower shall pay, in addition to the Debt, (i) an
amount equal to the greater of (a) one percent (1%) of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan
to be prepaid or satisfied, or (b) the Yield Maintenance Premium that would be required if a
Defeasance Event had occurred in an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan to
be satisfied or prepaid and (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount of principal being
prepaid through and including the date of prepayment.

deposit to such account as Lender may designate by written notice to Borrower. 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 Principal Prepayments.
All prepayments received pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be applied first, to interest on
the portion of the outstanding principal balance being prepaid that accrued through and including
the date of prepayment, second, to the Interest Shortfall Payment, if any, applicable to the
portion of the outstanding principal balance being prepaid, and third, to the principal amount of
the Loan.

(vi) Borrower shall deliver a customary opinion of counsel for Borrower in form and
substance satisfactory to Lender stating, 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;
(vii) Borrower shall deliver confirmation in writing from the applicable Rating
Agencies to the effect that such release will not result in a downgrading, 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 a customary non-
- 27 -
consolidation 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 2.4.1(a) have been satisfied;

as Lender may reasonably request; and
(xi) Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of Lender incurred in
connection with the Defeasance Event, including any costs and expenses associated with a
release of the Lien of the Security Instrument as provided in Section 2.5 hereof as well as
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.
(b) In connection with a Defeasance Event, Borrower hereby appoints Lender as its agent and
attorney-in-fact for the purpose of using the Defeasance Deposit to purchase U.S. Obligations (the
“Defeasance Collateral”) 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 the Note and in amounts equal to the scheduled payments due on such
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 dates) and assuming such Note is prepaid in full on the Maturity Date (the “Scheduled
Defeasance Payments”). Each of the U.S. Obligations that are part of the Defeasance Collateral
shall be duly endorsed by the holder thereof as directed by Lender or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form and substance that would be satisfactory to a prudent institutional
lender (including, without limitation, such instruments as may be required by the depository
institution 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. 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 Lockbox Account (unless otherwise directed by Lender) and applied to satisfy
the obligations of Borrower under the Note. Any portion of the Defeasance Deposit in excess of the
amount necessary to purchase the U.S. Obligations required by this Section 2.4 and satisfy
Borrower’s other obligations under this Section 2.4 and Section 2.5 shall be remitted to Borrower.
2.4.2 Successor Borrower.

In connection with any Defeasance Event, Borrower shall establish or designate a successor
entity (the “Successor Borrower”) which shall be a single purpose bankruptcy remote entity with an
Independent Director approved by Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed,
and 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 and the other Loan Documents, except with respect
to those obligations which are expressly stated to survive. Borrower shall pay $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 2.4.2, but Borrower
shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including Lender’s attorneys’ fees
and expenses, incurred in connection therewith.
2.4.3 Release of Property.
Except as set forth in this Section 2.5, no repayment, prepayment or defeasance of all or any
portion of the Note shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the
release of any Lien of the Security Instrument on the Property. If Borrower has elected to defease
the entire Loan and the requirements of Section 2.4 and this 2.5 have been satisfied, the Property
shall be released from the Lien of the Security Instrument and the U.S. Obligations, pledged
pursuant to the Security Agreement, shall be the sole source of collateral securing the Note. In
connection with the release of the Security Instrument, Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less
than ten (10) days prior to the Defeasance Date, a release of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for
the Property for execution by Lender. Such release shall be in a form appropriate in the
jurisdiction in which the Property is located and that would be satisfactory to a prudent lender.
In addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation Lender reasonably requires to be
delivered by Borrower in connection with such release, together with an Officer’s Certificate
certifying that such documentation (i) is in compliance with all Legal Requirements, and (ii) will
effect such releases in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Section 2.5 Release on Payment in Full.
Lender shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of
all principal and interest on the Loan and all other amounts due and payable under the Loan
Documents in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Note and this
Loan Agreement, release
the Lien of the Security Instrument on the Property.

IV. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Borrower represents and warrants as of the Closing Date that:
4.1.1 Organization.
Borrower is duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing in the jurisdiction in
which it is organized, with requisite power and authority to own the Property and to transact the
businesses in which it is now engaged. Borrower is duly qualified to do business and is in good
standing in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with the
Property, businesses and operations. Borrower
- 35 -
possesses all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise,
necessary to entitle it to own the Property and to transact the businesses in which it is now
engaged. Attached hereto as Schedule 4.1.1 is an organizational chart of Borrower.
4.1.2 Proceedings.
Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents 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 of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by
Borrower 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 to which Borrower is
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 the Property or any of
Borrower’s other assets, or any license or other approval required to operate the Property, 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 have been obtained and is in full force and effect.
4.1.4 Litigation.
To Borrower’s knowledge, 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 Property, which actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against Borrower or
the Property, might have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.1.5 Agreements.
Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which
might materially and adversely affect Borrower or the Property, or Borrower’s business, properties
or assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. Borrower is not in default in any
material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants
or conditions contained in any agreement
- 36 -
or instrument to which it is a party or by which Borrower or the Property is bound. Borrower
has no material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust,
loan agreement
or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or the Property
is otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of
the Property and (b) obligations under the Loan Documents.
4.1.6 Solvency.
Borrower (a) has not entered into the transaction or executed the Note, this Agreement or any
other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) has
received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents.
Giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will,
immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including,
without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair
saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be
greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent
liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and,
immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to
carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to
incur debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its
ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts
of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of
Borrower). No petition under the Bankruptcy Code or similar state bankruptcy or insolvency law has
been filed against Borrower or any constituent Person in the last seven (7) years, and neither
Borrower nor any constituent Person in the last seven (7) years has ever made an assignment for the
benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. Neither
Borrower nor any of its constituent Persons are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it
under the Bankruptcy Code or similar state bankruptcy or insolvency law or the liquidation of all
or a major portion of Borrower’s assets or property, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person
contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or such constituent Persons.
4.1.7 Full and Accurate Disclosure.
No statement of fact made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents
contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to
make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no fact presently known to
Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender which materially and adversely affects, or might
materially and adversely affect, the Property or the business, operations or condition (financial
or otherwise) of Borrower.

From the date hereof and until payment and performance in full of all obligations of Borrower

other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender that:
5.1.1 Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements.
(a) Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in
full force and effect its existence, rights, licenses, permits and franchises, and comply, in all
material respects, with all Legal Requirements applicable to it and the Property. There shall
never be committed by Borrower or any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation
or use of the Property any act or omission affording the federal government or any State or local
government the right of forfeiture against the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in
performance of Borrower’s
- 51 -
obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees not to
commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording such right of forfeiture. Borrower
shall at all times maintain, preserve and protect all franchises and trade names and preserve all
the remainder of its property used or useful in the conduct of its business and shall keep the
Property in good working order and repair, and from time to time make, or cause to be made, all
reasonably necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereto, all as

Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under
and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any instrument to which Borrower is subject
and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance

enforcement of the contested Legal Requirement against Borrower or the Property; and (vi) Borrower
shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be requested by Lender,
to insure compliance with such Legal Requirement, together with all interest and penalties payable
in connection therewith. Lender may apply any such security or part thereof, as necessary to cause
compliance with such Legal Requirement at any time when, in the judgment of Lender, the validity,
applicability or violation of such Legal Requirement is finally established or the Property (or any
part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated,
cancelled or lost.

the Taxes and the Other Charges prior to the date the same shall become delinquent (provided,
however, that Borrower is not required to furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes in the event
that such Taxes have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof). Borrower shall not
suffer and shall within thirty (30) days following notice thereof, cause to be paid, discharged or
bonded off, any Lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a Lien or charge against the
Property, and shall promptly pay for all utility services provided to the Property. After prior
written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal
proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the
- 52 -
amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any Taxes or Other Charges, provided
that (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (ii) such proceeding

Other Charges from the Property; and (vi) Borrower shall furnish such security as may be required
in the proceeding, or as may be requested by Lender, to insure the payment of any such Taxes or
Other Charges, together with all interest and penalties thereon. Lender may apply such security or
part thereof held by Lender at any time when, in the judgment of Lender, the validity or
applicability of such Taxes or Other Charges are established or the Property (or part thereof or
interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost or
there shall be any danger of the Lien of the Security Instrument being primed by any related Lien.

Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited,

closing, disclosing any material inaccuracy in such representations), and (b) certificates of the
relevant Governmental Authorities in all relevant jurisdictions indicating the good standing and
qualification of Borrower and Principal as of the date of the closing of such Securitization or

5.1.17 Leasing Matters.
(a) With respect to the Property, Borrower may enter into a proposed Lease (including the
renewal or extension of an existing Lease (a “Renewal Lease”)) without the prior written consent of
Lender, provided such proposed Lease or Renewal Lease (i) provides for rental rates and terms
comparable to existing local market rates and terms (taking into account the type and quality of
the tenant) as of the date such Lease is executed by Borrower (unless, in the case of a Renewal
Lease, the rent payable during such renewal, or a formula or other method to compute such rent, is
provided for in the original Lease), (ii) is an arms-length transaction with a bona fide,
independent third party tenant, (iii) [intentionally deleted], (iv) is subject and subordinate to
the Security Instrument and the lessee thereunder agrees to attorn to Lender, (v) is written on the
standard form of lease approved by Lender with modifications consistent with clause (i) above, and
(vi) is not a Major Lease. All proposed Leases which do not satisfy the requirements set forth in
this Section 5.1.17(a) shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender, which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld. At Lender’s request, Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender copies of
all Leases which are entered into pursuant to this Subsection together with Borrower’s
certification that it has satisfied all of the conditions of this Section.
(b) Borrower (i) shall observe and perform all the obligations imposed upon the lessor under
the Leases, in all material respects, and shall not do or permit to be done anything to materially
impair the value of any of the Leases as security for the Debt; (ii) shall promptly send copies to
Lender of all notices of default or other material matters which Borrower shall send or receive
with respect to the Leases; (iii) shall enforce all of the material terms, covenants and conditions
contained in the Leases upon the part of the tenant thereunder to be observed or performed (except
for termination of a Major Lease which shall require Lender’s prior written approval or Lender’s
deemed approval pursuant to Section 5.1.17(f) hereof); (iv) shall not collect any of the Rents more
than one (1) month in advance (except Security Deposits shall not be deemed Rents collected in
advance); (v) shall, immediately upon receipt, deposit all Lease Termination Payments into the

any of the Leases or the Rents; and (vii) shall not consent to any assignment of any Major Lease,
without the prior written consent of Lender, not to be unreasonably denied.
(c) Borrower may, without the consent of Lender, amend, modify or waive the provisions of any
Lease or terminate, reduce rents under, accept a surrender of space under, or shorten the term of,
any Lease (including any guaranty, letter of credit or other credit support with respect thereto)
provided that such Lease is not a Major Lease and
- 58 -
that such action (taking into account, in the case of a termination, reduction in rent,
surrender of space or shortening of term, the planned alternative use of the affected space) is
consistent with the then current market standards regarding such activities, and provided that such
Lease, as amended, modified or waived, is otherwise in compliance with the requirements of this
Agreement and any lease subordination agreement binding upon Lender with respect to such Lease. A
termination of a Lease (other than a Major Lease) with a tenant who is in default beyond applicable
notice and grace periods shall not be considered an action which is inconsistent with the then
current market standards. Any amendment, modification, waiver, termination, rent reduction, space
surrender or term shortening which does not satisfy the requirements set forth in this Subsection
shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender and its counsel, at Borrower’s expense.
At Lender’s request, Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender copies of all Leases, amendments,
modifications and waivers which are entered into pursuant to this Section 5.1.17(c) together with
Borrower’s certification that it has satisfied all of the conditions of this Section 5.1.17(c).
(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, with respect to the Property,
Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, not to be unreasonably denied,
enter into, renew, extend, amend, modify, waive any provisions of, terminate, reduce rents under,
accept a surrender of space under, or shorten the term of, any Major Lease or any instrument
guaranteeing or providing credit support for any Major Lease.
(e) In the event that Lender receives any monies representing security deposits under the
Leases (the “Security Deposits”) following an Event of Default, Lender shall hold the Security
Deposits in accordance with the terms of the respective Lease, and shall only release the Security
Deposits in order to return a tenant’s Security Deposit to such tenant if such tenant is entitled
to the return of the Security Deposit under the terms of the Lease. Absent an Event of Default,
Lender shall transfer to Borrower any monies representing security deposits under the Leases
received by Lender.
(f) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.1.17, to the extent, if any, that
Lender’s prior written approval or consent is required pursuant to this Section 5.1.17, such
request for approval or consent shall be deemed approved if (i) Lender shall have failed to notify
Borrower of its approval or disapproval within ten (10) days (the “Approval Period”) following
Lender’s receipt of Borrower’s written request together with any and all required material
information and documentation relating thereto required by Lender to reach a decision and provided,
the request to Lender is marked in bold lettering with the following: “LENDER’S RESPONSE IS
REQUIRED WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS OF RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THE
LOAN AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED AND LENDER” and the envelope containing the request must be marked
“PRIORITY”, (ii) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender a written notice of Lender’s failure to
respond to Borrower’s request within the Approval Period (the “Failure to Respond Notice”), and

days following Lender’s receipt of the Failure to Respond Notice. Borrower shall be required to
provide Lender with such material information and documentation as may be
- 59 -
reasonably required by Lender, in its reasonable discretion, including without limitation,
lease comparables and other market information as reasonably required by Lender.
(g) Notwithstanding the leasing approval procedures set forth above, to facilitate Borrower’s
leasing process, Borrower may present prospective leasing transactions to Lender prior to the
negotiation of a final Lease pursuant to the following procedures:
Whenever Lender’s approval or consent is required pursuant to the provisions of this Section
5.1.17, Borrower shall have the right to submit to Lender a summary term sheet of the proposed
lease or a draft of the Lease, each including all material terms for the proposed lease including,
without limitation, the identity of the tenant, square footage, term, rent, rent credits,
abatements, work allowances and tenant improvements to be constructed by Borrower, and as
supplemented by any additional information concerning such lease or tenant as may be reasonably
requested by Lender (the “Lease Term Sheet”). Such request for approval or consent shall be deemed
approved if (i) Lender shall have failed to notify Borrower of its approval or disapproval within
ten (10) days (the “Term Sheet Approval Period”) following Lender’s receipt of Borrower’s written
request together with any and all required material information and documentation relating thereto
required by Lender to reach a decision and provided, the request to Lender is marked in bold
lettering with the following: “LENDER’S RESPONSE IS REQUIRED WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS OF RECEIPT OF
THIS NOTICE PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THE
LOAN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED AND LENDER” and the
envelope containing the request must be marked “PRIORITY”, (ii) Borrower shall have delivered to
Lender a written notice of Lender’s failure to respond to Borrower’s request within the Term Sheet
Approval Period (the “Term Sheet Failure to Respond Notice”), and (iii) Lender shall have failed to

the Term Sheet Failure to Respond Notice. If Lender approves or is deemed to have approved the
Lease Term Sheet, Lender’s prior approval shall not be required for the final Lease, except to the
extent such final Lease (A) deviates in any material respect from the terms set forth in the Lease
Term Sheet or contains any material terms not set forth in the Lease Term Sheet and Lender
determines in good faith that such deviation or new information shall materially or adversely
affect either (1) Borrower’s interest under the Lease or (2) Lender’s interest in this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents, (B) if a draft Lease had not been submitted to Lender, deviates in any
material respect from the standard form of lease approved by Lender and Lender determines in good
faith that such deviation shall materially or adversely affect either (1) Borrower’s interest under
the Lease or (2) Lender’s interest in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or (C) is not
fully executed within sixty (60) days after the Lease Term Sheet is approved or deemed approved.
Borrower shall deliver to Lender a fully executed copy of the Lease within ten (10) days of the
execution thereof.
(h) Lender shall, within thirty (30) days after written request therefor by Borrower, enter
into, and, if required by Applicable Law to provide constructive notice or if reasonably requested
by a tenant, record in the county where the Property is located, a non-disturbance and attornment
agreement, in form and substance substantially similar to

the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (a “Non-Disturbance Agreement”) with any tenant under
any Lease or Renewal Lease that (i) does not require Lender’s consent pursuant to Section 5.1.17(f)
or (ii) was approved or deemed approved by Lender pursuant to Section 5.1.17(f). All reasonable
costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution,
delivery and recordation of any Non-Disturbance Agreement, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, shall be paid by Borrower.
5.1.18 Management Agreement.
(a) Borrower shall not engage a property manager that is not an Approved Manager without
Lender’s prior written consent. In the event that Borrower has engaged a Qualified Manager (that
is not an Approved Manager) and thereafter, Lender determines that the Property is not being
managed in accordance with generally accepted management practices for properties similar to the
Property, Lender shall deliver written notice thereof to Borrower, which notice shall specify with
particularity the grounds for Lender’s determination. If Lender determines that the conditions
specified in Lender’s notice are not remedied to Lender’s satisfaction by Borrower within thirty
(30) days from receipt of such notice or that Borrower has failed to diligently undertake
correcting such conditions within such thirty (30) day period, or if an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, (i) Borrower shall, at Lender’s direction, engage a Qualified Manager
(that is not an Approved Manager), and enter into a property management agreement acceptable to
Lender in all respects with such Qualified Manager (the “Management Agreement”), (ii) Borrower and
such Qualified Manager shall execute an agreement acceptable to Lender conditionally assigning
Borrower’s interest in such management agreement to Lender and subordinating such Qualified
Manager’s right to receive fees and expenses under such management agreement while the Debt remains
outstanding, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (“Assignment of Management
Agreement”), and (iii) Borrower shall comply with subsections (b) and (c) below. Notwithstanding
the forgoing, the Property may be managed by an Approved Manager without the prior written consent
of Lender; provided, however, that Borrower has obtained prior written consent of Lender with
respect to the Management Agreement between Borrower and such Approved Manager, and has executed
and delivered an Assignment of Management Agreement.
(b) Except during any period of time where Borrower is self-managing the Property, the
Property shall be operated under the terms and conditions of the Management Agreement. In no event
shall the management fees under the Management Agreement exceed four percent (4%) of the gross
income derived from the Property. Borrower shall (i) diligently perform and observe all of the
terms, covenants and conditions of the Management Agreement, on the part of Borrower to be
performed and observed to the end that all things shall be done which are necessary to keep
unimpaired the rights of Borrower under the Management Agreement and (ii) promptly notify Lender of
the giving of any notice by the Manager to Borrower of any default by Borrower in the performance
or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Management Agreement on the part
of Borrower to be performed and observed and deliver to Lender a true copy of each such notice.
Borrower shall not surrender the
- 61 -
Management Agreement, consent to the assignment by Manager of its interest under the
Management Agreement, or terminate or cancel the Management Agreement, or modify, change,
supplement, alter or amend the Management Agreement, in any respect, either orally or in writing,
unless following such surrender, assignment or termination, the Property shall be operated by an
Approved Manager or other Qualified Manager pursuant to a Replacement Management Agreement.
Borrower hereby assigns to Lender as further security for the payment of the Debt and for the
performance and observance of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement, all the
rights, privileges and prerogatives of Borrower to surrender the Management Agreement, or to
terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Management Agreement, in any
respect, and any such surrender of the Management Agreement, or termination, cancellation,
modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of the Management Agreement, without the
prior consent of Lender shall be void and of no force and effect. If Borrower shall default in the
performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of the Management Agreement
on the part of Borrower to be performed or observed, then, without limiting the generality of the
other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its
obligations hereunder, Lender shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any
sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all the terms,
covenants and conditions of the Management Agreement on the part of Borrower to be performed or
observed to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of Borrower, to the end that the rights of
Borrower in, to and under the Management Agreement shall be kept unimpaired and free from default.
Lender and any Person designated by Lender shall have, and are hereby granted, the right to enter
upon the Property at any time and from time to time for the purpose of taking any such action. If
the Manager shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice sent to Borrower of default under the
Management Agreement, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken
or omitted to be taken by Lender in good faith, in reliance thereon. Borrower shall not, and shall
not permit the Manager to, sub-contract any or all of its management responsibilities under the
Management Agreement to a third party without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld. Borrower shall, from time to time, obtain from the Manager
such certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance by Borrower with the terms of the
Management Agreement as may be requested by Lender. Borrower shall exercise each individual
option, if any, to extend or renew the term of the Management Agreement upon demand by Lender made
at any time within one (1) year of the last day upon which any such option may be exercised, and
Borrower hereby expressly authorizes and appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact to exercise any such
option in the name of and upon behalf of Borrower, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and
shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest. Any sums expended by Lender pursuant to this
paragraph (i) shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date such cost is incurred to the
date of payment to Lender, (ii) shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt, (iii) shall be
secured by the lien of the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and (iv) shall be
immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.
(c) Without limitation of the foregoing, Borrower, upon the request of Lender, shall (i) in
the event that the Property is subject to a Management Agreement or a
- 62 -
Replacement Management Agreement, terminate such Management Agreement or Replacement
Management Agreement and replace the Manager, without penalty or fee, with a Qualified Manager
(that is not Approved Manager) pursuant to a Replacement Management Agreement, or (ii) in the event
that the Property is self-managed by Borrower, enter into a Replacement Management Agreement with a
Qualified Manager (that is not an Approved Manager), in each case, to assume management of the
Property, if at any time during the Loan: (a) the Manager shall become insolvent or a debtor in any
bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, (b) there exists an Event of Default, or (c) there exists a
default by Manager (other than an Approved Manager) under the Management Agreement beyond any
applicable notice and cure periods.

other Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to rely on such reports and other results thereof;
(vii) Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply with all reasonable written requests of
Lender to (A) reasonably effectuate remediation of any Hazardous Materials in, on, under or from
the Property; and (B) comply with any Environmental Law; (viii) Borrower shall not allow any tenant

Environmental Law, a Release of Hazardous Materials or other condition prohibited thereunder or
hereunder Lender and any other Person designated by Lender, including but not limited to any
representative of a Governmental Authority, and any environmental consultant, and any receiver
appointed by any court of competent jurisdiction, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
enter upon the Property at all reasonable times to assess any and all aspects of the environmental
condition of the Property and its use, including but not limited to conducting any environmental
assessment or audit (the scope of which shall be determined in Lender’s sole and absolute

unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender’s prior written consent shall not be
required for any tenant improvements made pursuant to any existing Leases or any Renewal Leases or
new Leases that in each case satisfy the terms and provisions of Section 5.1.17 hereof. All such

Property is located, and employer’s liability insurance with a limit of at least $500,000
per accident and per disease per employee, and $500,000 for disease aggregate in respect of
any work or operations on or about the Property, or in connection with the Property or its
operation (if applicable);

as each may be amended, or any successor law (the “Flood Insurance Acts”), flood hazard
insurance of the following types and in the following amounts (A) coverage under Policies
issued pursuant to the Flood Insurance Acts (the “Flood Insurance Policies”) in an amount
equal to the maximum limit of coverage available for the Property under the Flood Insurance
Acts, subject only to customary deductibles under such Policies and (B) coverage under
supplemental private Policies in an amount, which when added to the coverage provided under
the Flood Act Policies with respect to the Property, is not less than the amount of the
Loan or providing a sublimit no less than $10,000,000;
(viii) earthquake, and, if required by Lender, sinkhole and mine subsidence insurance,
in amounts equal to two time (2x) the probable maximum loss of the Property as determined
by Lender in its sole discretion or providing a sublimit of no less than $5,000,000, and in
form and substance satisfactory to Lender, provided that the insurance pursuant to this
Section 6.1(a)(viii) hereof shall be on terms consistent with the all risk insurance policy
required under Section 6.1(a)(i) hereof;
(ix) umbrella liability insurance in an amount not less than Twenty-Five Million and
No/100 Dollars ($25,000,000.00) per occurrence on terms consistent with the commercial
general liability insurance policy required under Section 6.1(a) hereof; and
(x) such other insurance and in such amounts as Lender from time to time may
reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly
insured against for property similar to the Property located in or around the region in
which the Property is located.
(b) All insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) hereof shall be obtained under valid and
enforceable policies (the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), in such forms and, from
time to time after the date hereof, in such amounts as may be satisfactory to Lender, issued by
financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State in
which the Property is located and approved by Lender. The insurance companies must have a claims
paying ability/financial strength rating of “A” (or its equivalent) or better by at least two (2)
Rating Agencies (one of which will be S&P if they are rating the Securities and one of which shall
be Moody’s if they are rating the Securities), or if only one Rating Agency is rating the
Securities, then only by such Rating Agency (each such insurer shall be referred to below as a
“Qualified Insurer”).
- 72 -
Borrower will be required to maintain insurance against terrorism, terrorist acts (including
bio-terrorism) or similar acts of sabotage (“Terrorism Insurance”) with amounts, terms and coverage
consistent with those required under Sections 6.1(a)(i) and (iii) hereof (the “Terrorism Insurance
Required Amount”). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Borrower shall not be obligated to
expend more than $100,000 in any fiscal year on Insurance Premiums for Terrorism Insurance (the
“Terrorism Insurance Cap”) and if the cost of the Terrorism Insurance Required Amount exceeds the
Terrorism Insurance Cap, Borrower shall purchase the maximum amount of Terrorism Insurance
available with funds equal to the Terrorism Insurance Cap. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to
the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender pursuant to Section 6.1(a),
Borrower shall deliver certified copies of the Policies marked “premium paid” or accompanied by
evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance
Premiums”).
(c) Borrower shall not obtain (i) any umbrella or blanket liability or casualty Policy unless,
in each case, such Policy is approved in advance in writing by Lender and Lender’s interest is
included therein as provided in this Agreement and such Policy is issued by a Qualified Insurer, or
(ii) separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required
in Section 6.1(a) to be furnished by, or which may be reasonably required to be furnished by,
Borrower. In the event Borrower obtains separate insurance or an umbrella or a blanket policy,
Borrower shall notify Lender of the same and shall cause certified copies of each Policy to be
delivered as required in Section 6.1(a). Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate
to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise
provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance
with the provisions of Section 6.1(a). Notwithstanding Lender’s approval of any umbrella or
blanket liability or casualty Policy hereunder, Lender reserves the right, in its sole discretion,
to require Borrower to obtain a separate Policy in compliance with this Section 6.1.
(d) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a) hereof, except for the Policy
referenced in Section 6.1(a)(v), shall name Lender and Borrower as the insured or additional
insured, as their respective interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and
machinery, and flood insurance, shall contain a so called
New York standard non-contributing
mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.
(e) All Policies provided for in Section 6.1(a) hereof shall contain clauses or endorsements
to the effect that:
(i) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or failure to
comply with the provisions of any Policy which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of
the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability
of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;
- 73 -
(ii) the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage
provided thereby) or cancelled without at least 30 days’ written notice to Lender and any
other party named therein as an insured;
(iii) each Policy shall provide that the issuers thereof shall give written notice to
Lender if the Policy has not been renewed thirty (30) days prior to its expiration; and
(iv) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any
assessments thereunder.
(f) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required
hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, upon ten (10) days written
notice to Borrower to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the
Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its
sole discretion deems appropriate, and all expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such
action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender
upon demand and until paid shall be secured by the Security Instrument and shall bear interest at
the Default Rate.
(g) In the event of a foreclosure of the Security Instrument, or other transfer of title to
the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of
Borrower in and to the Policies then in force and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon
vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other
transfer of title.
(h) Borrower shall furnish to Lender, on or before thirty (30) days after the renewal of
Borrower’s insurance coverage, Certificates of Insurance evidencing the amounts of insurance
maintained in compliance herewith, of the risks covered by such insurance and of the insurance
company or companies providing such insurance and, if requested by Lender, verification of the
adequacy of such insurance by an independent insurance broker or appraiser acceptable to Lender.
Section 6.2 Casualty.
If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty
(a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and, provided that
Lender has made the Net Proceeds available to Borrower for Restoration, Borrower shall, promptly
commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration of the Property as nearly as
possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such
alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4;
provided, however, regardless of whether Lender has made the Net Proceeds available for
Restoration, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligence prosecute the removal and disposal of
any debris, refuse or hazards resulting from such Casualty and insure that the Property is in safe
condition. Provided Lender shall make Net Proceeds available to Borrower, Borrower shall pay all
costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by
- 74 -
insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly
by Borrower.
Section 6.3 Condemnation.
Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any
proceeding for the Condemnation of all or any part of the Property and shall deliver to Lender
copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in
any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments
requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute
any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with
them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any
public or quasi public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to,
any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall
continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in
this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received
and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge
of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning
authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided
herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority,
provided that Lender has made the Net Proceeds available for Restoration, Borrower shall, promptly
commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the
provisions of Section 6.4 hereof; provided, however, regardless of whether Lender has made the Net
Proceeds available for Restoration, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligence prosecute the
removal and disposal of any debris, refuse or hazards resulting from such Condemnation and insure
that the Property is in safe condition. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise,
prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a
deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award,
or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.
Section 6.4 Restoration.
The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the Property:
(a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) and
the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than One Million and 00/100 Dollars

that all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.4(b)(i) are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a
written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the
Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4. The term “Net Proceeds” shall mean: (i)
the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(i), (iv),
(vi), (vii), (viii) and (ix) as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of its
reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in
collecting same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of its
reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in
collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.

each of the following conditions are met:
(A) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(B) (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than forty
percent (40%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the Property has been
damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty or (2) in the
event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than ten percent (10%) of
the land constituting the Property is taken, and such land is located along the
perimeter or periphery of the Property, and no portion of the Improvements is
located on such land;
(C) Leases demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to or greater
than eighty percent (80%) of the total rentable space in the Property which has
been demised under executed and delivered Leases in effect as of the date of the
occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, shall
remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration,
notwithstanding the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the
case may be, and Borrower furnishes to Lender evidence satisfactory to Lender that
all tenants under Major Leases shall continue to operate their respective space at
the Property after the completion of the Restoration;
(D) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable
(but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such Casualty or Condemnation,
whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to
satisfactory completion in compliance with all Applicable Laws including, without
limitation, all applicable Environmental Laws;
(E) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all
scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note,
- 76 -
which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the
occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be
covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in
Section 6.1(a)(iii), if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;
(F) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or
before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2)
nine (9) months after the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation, or (3) the
earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Leases which are
required in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b) to remain in
effect subsequent to the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation and the
completion of the Restoration, or (4) such time as may be required under Applicable
Law in order to repair and restore the Property to the condition it was in
immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation or (5) the expiration of the
insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii);
(G) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in
compliance with and permitted under all Applicable Laws;
(H) Lender shall be satisfied that the Debt Service Coverage Ratio after the
completion of the Restoration shall be equal to or greater than 1.20 to 1;
(I) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the total
loss of access to the Property or the related Improvements;
(J) Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed
detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the
entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be acceptable to
Lender;
(K) the Net Proceeds together with any Cash or Cash equivalent deposited by
Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s discretion to cover the cost of the
Restoration; and
(L) the Management Agreement in effect as of the date of the occurrence of
such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, shall (1) remain in full
force and effect during the Restoration and shall not otherwise terminate as a
result of the Casualty or Condemnation or the Restoration or (2) if terminated,
shall have been replaced with a Replacement Management Agreement with a Qualified
Manager, prior to the opening or reopening of the Property or any portion thereof
for business with the public.
- 77 -
(ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an interest bearing account and,
until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), shall constitute
additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net
Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time
during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that
(A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they
are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration
have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders,
mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other Liens
or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property which have not either been fully
bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully
insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance
Policy.
(iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration, shall
be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent
consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”). Lender shall have the
use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or
obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors,
subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration as well as the contracts under
which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and
the Casualty Consultant. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with
making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation,
reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid
by Borrower.
(iv) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds
in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in
place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, not to be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term
“Casualty Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%), of the costs actually
incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty
Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no
event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(b),
be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and
materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until
the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for
the re occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate
Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the
costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty
Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty
Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged
- 78 -
in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to
Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all
work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s,
subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman
delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the
contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the
title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy for the Property, and Lender receives an
endorsement to such Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the Lien of
the Security Instrument and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such
endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty
Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or
performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more
frequently than once every calendar month.
(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in
the opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, if any, be sufficient
to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to
be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit
the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement
of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall
be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the
Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and
until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for
the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents.
(vii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of
the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies
to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 6.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs
incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by
Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be
continuing under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
(c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be
returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vii) may be retained and
applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order,
priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion
of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as
Lender shall approve, in its discretion. If Lender shall receive and retain Net Proceeds, the Lien
of the Security
- 79 -
Instrument shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received and retained by Lender and
actually applied by Lender in reduction of the Debt.
VII. RESERVE FUNDS
Section 7.1 Required Repair Funds.
7.1.1 Deposits.
On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the amount set forth on Schedule 7.1
hereto to perform the Required Repairs for the Property. Amounts so deposited with Lender shall be
held by Lender in accordance with Section 7.7 hereof. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be
referred to as Borrower’s “Required Repair Fund.” Borrower shall perform the repairs at the
Property, as more particularly set forth on Schedule 7.1 hereto (such repairs hereinafter referred
to as “Required Repairs”). Borrower shall complete the Required Repairs on or before the required
deadline for each repair as set forth on Schedule 7.1. It shall be an Event of Default under this
Agreement if (a) Borrower does not complete the Required Repairs at the Property by the required
deadline for each repair as set forth on Schedule 7.1, or (b) Borrower does not satisfy each
condition contained in Section 7.1.2 hereof. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender,
at its option, may withdraw all Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account and Lender
may apply such funds either to completion of the Required Repairs at the Property or toward payment
of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion.
Lender’s right to withdraw and apply Required Repair Funds shall be in addition to all other rights
and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
7.1.2 Release of Required Repair Funds.
Lender shall disburse to Borrower the Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account
from time to time upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions: (a) Borrower
shall submit a written request for payment to Lender at least twenty (20) days prior to the date on
which Borrower requests such payment be made and specifies the Required Repairs to be paid, (b) on
the date such request is received by Lender and on the date such payment is to be made, no Default
or Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, (c) Lender shall have received an Officers’
Certificate (i) stating that all Required Repairs at the Property to be funded by the requested
disbursement have been completed in good and workmanlike manner and, to the best of Borrower’s
knowledge, in accordance with all Legal Requirements and Environmental Laws, such certificate to be
accompanied by a copy of any license, permit or other approval by any Governmental Authority
required to commence and/or complete the Required Repairs, (ii) identifying each Person that
supplied materials or labor in connection with the Required Repairs performed at the Property with
respect to the reimbursement to be funded by the requested disbursement, and (iii) stating that
each such Person has been paid in full upon such disbursement, such Officers’ Certificate to be
accompanied by lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender, (d) at Lender’s
option, a title search for the Property indicating that the Property is free from all
- 80 -
Liens, claims and other encumbrances not previously approved by Lender, and (e) Lender shall
have received such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the Required Repairs at
the Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed and are paid for upon
such disbursement to Borrower. Lender shall not be required to make disbursements from the
Required Repair Account with respect to the Property unless such requested disbursement is in an
amount greater than $25,000 (or a lesser amount if the total amount in the Required Repair Account
is less than $25,000, in which case only one disbursement of the amount remaining in the account
shall be made). Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements from the Required Repair
Account with respect to the Property in excess of the amount deposited by Borrower. Upon the
earlier of (1) Borrower’s completion of all Required Repairs to the satisfaction of Lender
(provided Borrower has supplied Lender with evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of all
Required Repairs and, if requested by Lender, waivers of liens and/or, in the case of Required
Repairs greater than $50,000.00, a title search of the Property or an endorsement to the
mortgagee’s title insurance policy), or (2) payment in full by Borrower of all sums evidenced by
the Note and secured by the Security Instrument and release by Lender of the lien of the Security
Instrument, Lender shall disburse to Borrower all remaining Required Repair Funds.
Section 7.2 Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund.
Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes (the “Monthly
Tax Deposit”) that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in
order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days
prior to their respective due dates; and (b) at the option of Lender, if the liability or casualty
Policy maintained by Borrower covering the Property shall not constitute an approved blanket or
umbrella Policy pursuant to Section 6.1(c) hereof, or Lender shall require Borrower to obtain a
separate Policy pursuant to Section 6.1(c) hereof, one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums (the
“Monthly Insurance Premium Deposit”) that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the
coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender
sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the “Tax and
Insurance Escrow Fund”). In the event Lender shall elect to collect payments in escrow for
Insurance Premiums pursuant to clause (b) above, Borrower shall pay to Lender an initial deposit to
be determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, to increase the amounts in the Tax and Insurance
Escrow Fund to an amount which, together with anticipated Monthly Insurance Premium Deposits, shall
be sufficient to pay all Insurance Premiums as they become due. The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund
and the payments of interest or principal or both, payable pursuant to the Note and this Agreement,
shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Lender will
apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be
made by Borrower pursuant to Sections 5.1.2(a) and 6.1, respectively, hereof. In making any
payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any xxxx,
statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or
insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such
xxxx, statement or
- 81 -
estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or
claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for
Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Sections 5.1.2(a) and 6.1, respectively, hereof. Lender
shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future
payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. In allocating such excess, Lender may
deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property. Any amount
remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund after the Debt has been paid in full shall be
returned to Borrower. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance
Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates set
forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall
increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make
up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to delinquency of the Taxes and/or thirty (30)
days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be.
Section 7.3 Replacements and Replacement Reserve.
7.3.1 Replacement Reserve Fund.
Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date $9,183.41 (the “Replacement Reserve Monthly
Deposit”) for replacements and repairs required to be made to the Property during the calendar year
(collectively, the “Replacements”). Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as
Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Fund”.
7.3.2 Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account.
(a) Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower
only for the costs of the Replacements. Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements from
the Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for the costs of routine maintenance to the
Property or for costs which are to be reimbursed from the Required Repair Fund.
(b) Lender shall, upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements set
forth in this Section 7.3.2, disburse to Borrower amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account
necessary to reimburse Borrower for the actual approved costs and Replacements upon completion of
such Replacements (or, upon partial completion in the case of Replacements made pursuant to Section
7.3.2(e), as determined by Lender. In no event shall Lender be obligated to disburse funds from
the Replacement Reserve Account if a Default or an Event of Default exists.
(c) Each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be in a form
specified or approved by Lender and shall specify (i) the specific Replacements for which the
disbursement is requested, (ii) the quantity and price of each item purchased, if the Replacement
includes the purchase or replacement of specific items, (iii) the price of all materials (grouped
by type or category) used in any Replacement other than the purchase or replacement of specific
items, and (iv) the cost of all contracted labor or other services applicable to each Replacement
for which the
- 82 -
disbursement is requested. With each request Borrower shall certify that, to the best of
Borrower’s knowledge, all Replacements have been made in accordance with all applicable Legal
Requirements of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Property to which the
Replacements are being provided. Each request for disbursement shall include copies of invoices
for all items or materials purchased and all contracted labor or services provided and, unless
Lender has agreed to issue joint checks as described below in connection with a particular
Replacement, each request shall include evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of all such
amounts. Except as provided in Section 7.3.2(e), each request for disbursement from the
Replacement Reserve Account shall be made only after completion of the Replacement for which
disbursement is requested. Borrower shall provide Lender evidence of completion satisfactory to
Lender in its reasonable judgment.
(d) Borrower shall pay all invoices in connection with the Replacements with respect to each
request for disbursement prior to submitting such request for disbursement from the Replacement
Reserve Account or, at the request of Borrower, Lender will issue joint checks, payable to Borrower
and the contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic, subcontractor or other party to whom payment
is due in connection with a Replacement. In the case of payments made by joint check, Lender may
require a waiver of lien from each Person receiving payment prior to Lender’s disbursement from the
Replacement Reserve Account. In addition, as a condition to any disbursement, Lender may require
Borrower to obtain lien waivers from each contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or
subcontractor who receives payment in an amount equal to or greater than $25,000 for completion of
its work or delivery of its materials. Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to the
requirements of Applicable Law and shall cover all work performed and materials supplied (including
equipment and fixtures) for the Property by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or
materialman through the date covered by the current reimbursement request (or, in the event that
payment to such contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialmen is to be made by a
joint check, the release of lien shall be effective through the date covered by the previous
release of funds request).
(e) If the contractor performing such Replacement requires periodic payments pursuant to terms
of a written contract (and if such contract is for work the cost of which exceeds $25,000.00, and
Lender has approved in writing in advance such contract), a request for reimbursement from the
Replacement Reserve Account may be made after completion of a portion of the work under such
contract, provided (A) such contract requires payment upon completion of such portion of the work,
(B) the materials for which the request is made are on site at the Property and are properly
secured or have been installed at the Property, (C) all other conditions in this Section 7.3 for
disbursement have been satisfied, (D) funds remaining in the Replacement Reserve Account are, in
Lender’s judgment, sufficient to complete such Replacement and other Replacements when required,
and (E) if required by Lender, each contractor or subcontractor receiving payments under such
contract shall provide a waiver of lien with respect to amounts which have been paid to that
contractor or subcontractor.
- 83 -
(f) Borrower shall not make a request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account
more frequently than once in any calendar month and (except in connection with the final
disbursement) the total cost of all Replacements in any request shall not be less than $10,000.
7.3.3 Performance of Replacements.
(a) Borrower shall make Replacements when required in order to keep the Property in condition
and repair consistent with other first class, full service office properties in the same market
segment in the metropolitan area in which the Property is located, and to keep the Property or any
portion thereof from deteriorating. Borrower shall complete all Replacements in a good and
workmanlike manner as soon as practicable following the commencement of making each such
Replacement.
(b) Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve all contracts or work orders with
materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or
materials in connection with the Replacements costing, in the aggregate, in excess of $50,000.00,
such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Upon Lender’s request,
Borrower shall assign any contract or subcontract to Lender.
(c) In the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Replacement is not
being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Replacement has not been completed in
a workmanlike or timely manner, Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement for such
unsatisfactory Replacement and to proceed under existing contracts or to contract with third
parties to complete such Replacement and to apply the Replacement Reserve Fund toward the labor and
materials necessary to complete such Replacement, without providing any prior notice to Borrower
and to exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default hereunder.
(d) In order to facilitate Lender’s completion or making of the Replacements pursuant to
Section 7.3.3(c) above, Borrower grants Lender the right to enter onto the Property and perform any
and all work and labor necessary to complete or make the Replacements and/or employ watchmen to
protect the Property from damage. All sums so expended by Lender, to the extent not from the
Replacement Reserve Fund, shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to Borrower and
secured by the Security Instrument. For this purpose Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its
true and lawful attorney in fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake the
Replacements in the name of Borrower. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled
with an interest and cannot be revoked. Borrower empowers said attorney in fact as follows: (i)
to use any funds in the Replacement Reserve Account for the purpose of making or completing the
Replacements; (ii) to make such additions, changes and corrections to the Replacements as shall be
necessary or desirable to complete the Replacements; (iii) to employ such contractors,
subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iv) to
pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against the
Property, or as may
- 84 -
be necessary or desirable for the completion of the Replacements, or for clearance of title;
(v) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by
any of the contract documents; (vi) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in
connection with the Property or the rehabilitation and repair of the Property; and (vii) to do any
and every act which Borrower might do in its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Agreement.
(e) Nothing in this Section 7.3.3 shall: (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing
the Replacements; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Replacement Reserve Fund
to make or complete any Replacement; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with the Replacements; or
(iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any Replacement.
(f) Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives (including, without
limitation, Lender’s engineer, architect, or inspector) or third parties making Replacements
pursuant to this Section 7.3.3 to enter onto the Property during normal business hours (subject to
the rights of tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Replacements and all
materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to
such Replacements which are or may be kept at the Property, and to complete any Replacements made
pursuant to this Section 7.3.3. Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to
cooperate with Lender or Lender’s representatives or such other persons described above in
connection with inspections described in this Section 7.3.3(f) or the completion of Replacements
pursuant to this Section 7.3.3.
(g) Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a
monthly disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account in excess of $50,000, with respect to the
Property, in order to verify completion of the Replacements for which reimbursement is sought.
Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified
professional selected by Lender and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an
independent qualified professional acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts
from the Replacement Reserve Account. Borrower shall pay the expense of the inspection as required
hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified
professional.
(h) The Replacements and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other item comprising a
part of any Replacement shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear
of all mechanic’s, materialmen’s or other Liens.
(i) Before each disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account with respect to the Property
in excess of $50,000, Lender may require Borrower to provide Lender with a search of title to the
Property effective to the date of the disbursement, which search shows that no mechanic’s or
materialmen’s Liens or other Liens of any nature have been placed against the Property since the
date of recordation of the Security Instrument and that title to the Property is free and clear of
all Liens (other than the Lien of the Security Instrument and other Permitted Encumbrances.
- 85 -
(j) All Replacements shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements of all Governmental
Authorities having jurisdiction over the Property and applicable insurance requirements including,
without limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations, and
requirements of insurance underwriters.
(k) In addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall provide or
cause to be provided workmen’s compensation insurance, builder’s risk, and public liability
insurance and other insurance to the extent required under Applicable Law in connection with a
particular Replacement. All such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to
Lender. All such policies which can be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses making loss
payable to Lender or its assigns shall be so endorsed. Certified copies of such policies shall be
delivered to Lender
7.3.4 Failure to Make Replacements.
(a) It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if Borrower fails to comply with any
provision of this Section 7.3 and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice
from Lender. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may use the Replacement Reserve
Fund (or any portion thereof) for any purpose, including but not limited to completion of the
Replacements as provided in Sections 7.3.3(c) and 7.3.3(d), or for any other repair or replacement
to the Property or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may
determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply the Replacement Reserve
Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents.
(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the
Replacement Reserve Fund on account of an Event of Default to payment of the Debt or in any
specific order or priority.
7.3.5 Balance in the Replacement Reserve Account.
The insufficiency of any balance in the Replacement Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower
from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.

7.4.1 Deposits to Rollover Reserve Fund.
(a) Except as set forth in Section 7.4.1(b) below, on the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay to
Lender the sum of $2,400,000.00 (the “Rollover Reserve Deposit”), which amount, together with all
Lease Termination Payments, shall be deposited in the Rollover Reserve Account with and held by
Lender for tenant improvement and leasing commission obligations incurred in connection with the
re-leasing of the space demised under the related Lease on or after January 1, 2009. Amounts so

- 86 -
(b) In lieu of making payment as required pursuant to Section 7.4.1(a) hereof, Borrower may
deliver to Lender (i) the Initial Letter of Credit as security for Borrower’s obligations under
such Section 7.4.1(a) hereof and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4, or (ii) the
Rollover Guaranty guaranteeing the amount that would have been deposited pursuant to Section
7.4.1(a) hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may only elect item (ii) above if
Guarantor meets the Guarantor Requirements. In the event that Guarantor fails to maintain the
Guarantor Requirements or if, due to the Rollover Guaranty, the economics of the Securitization are
worse than the economics of the Securitization would have been had cash or the Initial Letter of
Credit been delivered instead of the Rollover Guaranty, Borrower shall substitute the Rollover
Guaranty with cash or an Initial Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the Rollover Reserve
Deposit as set forth in this Section 7.4. Borrower shall cause Guarantor to furnish to Lender,
within ten (10) days of Lender’s request but no more frequently than once each calendar quarter
(unless such request is made in connection with a Securitization or Syndication), a copy of the
then most recent financial statements and all other materials that Guarantor is required to provide
to the lender under the Guarantor Credit Facility.
7.4.2 Withdrawal of Rollover Reserve Funds.
Lender shall make disbursements from the Rollover Reserve Fund for tenant improvement and
leasing commission obligations incurred by Borrower. All such expenses shall be approved by Lender
in its sole discretion. Lender shall make disbursements as requested by Borrower on a monthly
basis in increments of no less than $25,000.00 upon delivery by Borrower of Lender’s standard form
of draw request accompanied by copies of paid invoices for the amounts requested and, if required
by Lender, lien waivers and releases from all parties furnishing materials and/or services in
connection with the requested payment. Lender may require an inspection of the Property at
Borrower’s expense prior to making a monthly disbursement in order to verify completion of
improvements for which reimbursement is sought. All earnings or interest on the Rollover Reserve
Fund shall be and become part of such Rollover Reserve Fund and shall be disbursed as provided in
this Section 7.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no disbursements from the Rollover Reserve Fund
shall be made prior to January 1, 2009.
7.4.3 Provisions Regarding Letters of Credit.
(a) Lender shall be the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit and Borrower shall not be entitled

and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, at its option, to
draw on any Letter of Credit and to apply all or any part thereof to the payment of the items for
which such Letter of Credit was established or to apply such Letter of Credit to payment of the
Debt in such order, proportion or priority as Lender may determine. On the Maturity Date, if the
Debt is not paid in full, any such Letter of Credit may be applied to reduce the Debt.

on any Letter of Credit: (i) if Lender has received a notice from the Issuing Bank that such
Letter of Credit will not be renewed and either (y) a substitute Letter of Credit or (z) cash in
the amount of the Letter of Credit is not provided at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the
date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (ii) upon receipt of notice
from the Issuing Bank that the Letter of Credit will be terminated (except if the termination of
such Letter of Credit is permitted pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or a
substitute Letter of Credit is provided); or (iii) if Lender has received notice that the Issuing
Bank shall cease to meet the rating criteria set forth in the definition of “Letter of Credit”
herein and Borrower has failed to deliver to Lender either (y) a substitute Letter of Credit or (z)
cash in the amount of the Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
the above, Lender shall not be obligated to draw down on any Letter of Credit upon the happening of
an event specified in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above and shall not be liable for any losses
sustained by Borrower due to the insolvency of the Issuing Bank if Lender has not drawn the Letter
of Credit, and in the event of the insolvency of the Issuing Bank or if the Issuing Bank ceases to
meet the rating criteria set forth in the definition of “Letter of Credit” herein, Borrower shall
promptly provide to Lender either (y) a substitute Letter of Credit or (z) cash in the amount of
the Letter of Credit.

forth on Schedule 7.5 attached hereto. Amounts so deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender in
accordance with Section 7.5 hereof and shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Unfunded Tenant

of no less than $6,000 upon delivery by Borrower of (i) Lender’s standard form of draw request
accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate stating that all such tenant improvement and leasing
commission obligations have been paid or incurred for the amounts requested, and (ii) tenant
estoppel
- 88 -
certificate indicating that all tenant improvement and leasing commissions have been paid and that
all landlord obligations have been fulfilled, or that after tenant’s receipt of the amounts set
forth in the draw request submitted by Borrower, all tenant improvement and leasing commissions

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 related Accounts or the performance of the obligations for
which the Reserve Funds or the related Accounts were established, except to the extent arising from

Section 8.2 Remedies.
(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers,
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
equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of
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 or any other Collateral. 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
- 93 -
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) 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 other Collateral
and the Security Instrument 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 or 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 Property or all 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 the Security Instrument in any manner and for any amounts secured by the
Security Instrument 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 Security Instrument 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 Security Instrument to recover so much of the principal balance of the
Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Security Instrument as Lender may
elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the
Security Instrument to secure payment of sums secured by the Security Instrument 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) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to
exercise its rights under such power. 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.
- 94 -
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 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.
IX.

“Securities”) evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public offering or private
placement (a “Securitization”). At the request of the holder of the Note and, to the extent not
already required to be provided by Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower, at Borrower’s expense,
shall satisfy the market standards to which the holder of the Note customarily adheres or which may

Guarantor, and the Manager, (ii) provide budgets relating to the Property and (iii) to perform or
permit or cause to be performed or permitted such site inspection, appraisals, market studies,
environmental reviews and reports (Phase I’s and, if appropriate, Phase II’s), engineering reports
and other due diligence investigations of the Property, as may be reasonably requested by the
holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies or as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with
the Securitization (the “Provided Information”), together, if customary, with appropriate
verification and/or consents of the Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions of
counsel of independent attorneys acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
(b) if required by the Rating Agencies, deliver (i) a revised Insolvency Opinion, (ii) revised
opinions of counsel as to due execution and enforceability with respect to the Property, Borrower,

counsel, opinions and organizational documents shall be satisfactory to Lender and the Rating
Agencies;
(c) if required by the Rating Agencies, deliver such additional tenant estoppel letters,
subordination agreements or other agreements from parties to agreements that affect the Property,
which estoppel letters, subordination agreements or other agreements shall be satisfactory to
Lender and the Rating Agencies.
(d) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents and organizational documents as may be
reasonably requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies or otherwise to effect the
Securitization; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to modify or amend any Loan
Document if such modification or amendment would (except for modifications and amendments required
to be made pursuant to Section (e) below,) (i) change the interest rate, the stated maturity or the
amortization of principal set forth in the Note, (ii) modify or amend any other material economic
term of the Loan, or (iii) materially increase any obligations of Borrower, Guarantor or their
respective Affiliates or materially decrease the rights of Borrower, Guarantor or their respective
Affiliates in any respect.
(e) if Lender elects, in its sole discretion, prior to or upon a Securitization, to split the
Loan into two or more parts, or the Note into multiple component notes or tranches which may have
different interest rates, amortization payments, principal amounts, payment priorities and
maturities, Borrower agrees to cooperate with Lender in connection with the foregoing and to
execute the required modifications and amendments to the Note, this Agreement and the Loan
Documents and to provide opinions necessary to effectuate the same. Such Notes or components may
be assigned different interest rates, so long as the initial weighted average of such interest
rates does not exceed the Applicable Interest Rate and the scheduled amortization payments do not
exceed the Scheduled Amortization Payment;
(f) make such representations and warranties as of the closing date of the Securitization with
respect to the Property, Borrower, and the Loan Documents as are customarily provided in

Rating Agencies and consistent with the facts covered by such representations and warranties as
they exist on the date thereof, including the representations and warranties made in the Loan
Documents; and
All reasonable and customary third party costs and expenses incurred by Lender or Borrower in
connection with Borrower’s complying with requests made under this Section 9.1 shall be paid by
Lender, including, the reasonable and customary fees and expenses of Borrower’s legal counsel
selected by Borrower and approved by Lender in its sole discretion. Nothing in this paragraph
shall limit or affect Borrower’s obligations to pay for any actual out-of-pocket costs or expenses
which Borrower incurs in complying with the other provisions of this Agreement.
- 96 -
Section 9.2 Securitization Indemnification.
(a) Borrower understands that certain of the Provided Information may be included in
disclosure documents in connection with the Securitization, including, without limitation, a
prospectus supplement, private placement memorandum, offering circular or other offering document
(each a “Disclosure Document”) and may also be included in filings (an “Exchange Act Filing”) with
the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or
provided or made available to Investors or prospective Investors in the Securities, the Rating
Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure
Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower will cooperate
with the holder of the Note in updating the Disclosure Document by providing all current
information necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material
respects.
(b) Borrower agrees to provide in connection with each of (i) a preliminary and a final
private placement memorandum or (ii) a preliminary and final prospectus or prospectus supplement,
as applicable, or (iii) collateral and structured term sheets or similar materials, an
indemnification certificate (A) certifying that Borrower has carefully examined such memorandum or
prospectus or term sheets, as applicable, including without limitation, the sections entitled
“Special Considerations,” “Description of the Mortgages,” “Description of the Mortgage Loans and
Mortgaged Property,” “The Manager,” “The Borrower” and “Certain Legal Aspects of the Mortgage
Loan,” and such sections (and any other sections reasonably requested) do not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (B)
indemnifying Lender (and for purposes of this Section 9.2, Lender hereunder shall include its
officers and directors), the Affiliate of Xxxxxx Brothers Inc. (“Xxxxxx”) that has filed the
registration statement relating to the Securitization (the “Registration Statement”), each of its
directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement and each Person who
controls the Affiliate within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act (collectively, the “Xxxxxx Group”), and Xxxxxx, each of its directors and each Person
who controls Xxxxxx within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the
Exchange Act (collectively, the “Underwriter Group”) for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which Lender, the Xxxxxx Group or the Underwriter Group may
become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such sections described in clause (A)
above, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated in such sections or necessary in order to make the statements
in such sections or in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and
(C) agreeing to reimburse Lender, the Xxxxxx Group and the Underwriter Group for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by Lender the Xxxxxx Group and the Underwriter Group in connection
with investigating or defending the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrower will be liable in
any such case under clauses (B) or (C) above only to the extent
- 97 -
that any such Liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or omission
made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by or on
behalf of Borrower in connection with the preparation of the memorandum or prospectus or in
connection with the underwriting of the debt, including, without limitation, financial statements
of Borrower, operating statements, rent rolls, environmental site assessment reports and property
condition reports with respect to the Property. This indemnification will be in addition to any
liability which Borrower may otherwise have. Moreover, the indemnification provided for in clauses
(B) and (C) above shall be effective whether or not an indemnification certificate described in (A)
above is provided and shall be applicable based on information previously provided by Borrower or
its Affiliates if Borrower does not provide the indemnification certificate.
(c) In connection with filings under the Exchange Act, Borrower agrees to indemnify (i)
Lender, the Xxxxxx Group and the Underwriter Group for Liabilities to which Lender, the Xxxxxx
Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are
based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Provided Information a material fact
required to be stated in the Provided Information in order to make the statements in the Provided
Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading and (ii)
reimburse Lender, the Xxxxxx Group or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by Lender, the Xxxxxx Group or the Underwriter Group in connection with
defending or investigating the Liabilities.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9.2 of notice of the
commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be
made against the indemnifying party under this Section 9.2, notify the indemnifying party in
writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not
relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any
indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the
indemnifying party. In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it
notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be
entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that
it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after
receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with
counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such
indemnified party under this Section 9.2 the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for any
legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the
defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants
in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the
indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it
and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate
counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on
behalf of such indemnified party to parties. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for the
expenses of more than one such separate counsel unless an indemnified party shall have reasonably
- 98 -
concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or
additional to those available to another indemnified party.
(e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the
indemnifications provided for in Section 9.2(b) or (c) is or are for any reason held to be
unenforceable by an indemnified party in respect of any Liabilities (or action in respect thereof)
referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 9.2(b) or (c), the
indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a
result of such Liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty
of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall
be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are
entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) Xxxxxx’x and Borrower’s relative knowledge
and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which claim was asserted; (ii) the
opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable
considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it would
not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined solely by pro rata or per
capita allocation.
(f) The liabilities and obligations of Borrower and Lender under this Section 9.2 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.
Section 9.3 Servicer.
At the option of Lender or Agent, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/trustee (the
“Servicer”) selected by Lender or Agent and Lender or Agent may delegate all or any portion of its
responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a
servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender or Agent and Servicer. Borrower
shall be responsible for any reasonable set up fees or any other initial costs relating to or
arising under the Servicing Agreement.
Section 9.4 Exculpation.
(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, in the Security Instrument or in the other Loan
Documents, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe
the obligations contained in this Agreement, the Note or the Security Instrument by any action or
proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring
a foreclosure action, action for specific performance or other appropriate action or proceeding to
enable Lender to enforce and realize upon this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument, the
other Loan Documents, and the interest in the Property, the Rents and any other collateral given to
Lender created by this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents;
provided, however, that any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against
Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Property, in the Rents and in any other
collateral given to Lender. Lender,
- 99 -
by accepting this Agreement, the Note and the Security Instrument, agrees that it shall not,
except as otherwise provided herein or in the Security Instrument, xxx for, seek or demand any
deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding, under or by reason of or
under or in connection with this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument or the other Loan
Documents. The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (i) constitute a waiver, release or
impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by this Agreement, the Note, the Security
Instrument or the other Loan Documents; (ii) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party
defendant in any action or suit for judicial foreclosure and sale under the Security Instrument;
(iii) affect the validity or enforceability of any indemnity (including, without limitation, the
Environmental Indemnity), guaranty (including without limitation, the Guaranty) master lease or
similar instrument made in connection with this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument, or
the other Loan Documents; (iv) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver;
(v) impair the enforcement of the Assignment of Leases; (vi) impair the right of Lender to enforce
the provisions of Sections 9.9 and 10.2 of the Security Instrument or Sections 4.1.8, 4.1.28, 5.1.9
and 5.2.8 hereof; or (vii) impair the right of Lender to obtain a deficiency judgment or other
judgment on the Note against Borrower if necessary to (A) preserve or enforce its rights and
remedies against the Property or (B) obtain any Insurance Proceeds or Awards to which Lender would
otherwise be entitled under the terms of this Agreement or the Security Instrument; provided
however, Lender shall only enforce such judgment to the extent of the Insurance Proceeds and/or
Awards.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.4 to the contrary, Borrower shall be
personally liable to Lender for the Losses it incurs due to: (i) fraud or intentional
misrepresentation in connection with the execution and the delivery of this Agreement, the Note,
the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents; (ii) Borrower’s misapplication or
misappropriation of Rents received by Borrower after the occurrence of a Default or Event of
Default; (iii) Borrower’s misapplication or misappropriation of Security Deposits or Rents
collected more than thirty (30) days in advance; (iv) Borrower’s misapplication or the
misappropriation of Insurance Proceeds or Awards; (v) in the event that Gross Income from
Operations are sufficient to satisfy the Taxes or Other Charges, Borrower’s failure to pay Taxes or
Other Charges (except to the extent that sums sufficient to pay such amounts have been deposited in
escrow with Lender pursuant to the terms of Section 7.2 hereof), charges for labor or materials or
other charges that can create Liens on the Property; (vi) Borrower’s failure to return or to
reimburse Lender for all Personal Property taken from the Property by or on behalf of Borrower and
not replaced with Personal Property of the same utility and of the same or greater value; (vii) any
act of intentional waste or arson by Borrower, Principal, any Affiliate thereof or by any
Guarantor; (viii) any fees or commissions paid by Borrower to Principal or any Affiliate of
Borrower or Principal, or Guarantor in violation of the terms of this Agreement, the Note, the
Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents; or (ix) if an Event of Default shall occur under
Section 4.1.35 or 5.1.10 hereof.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the agreement of Lender not to pursue recourse liability as
set forth in Subsection (a) above SHALL BECOME NULL AND VOID and shall be of no further force and
effect (i) in the event of Borrower’s default
- 100 -
under Section 5.2.10 hereof or Section 7.2 of the Security Instrument, or (ii) if the Property
or any part thereof shall become an asset in (A) a voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or
(B) an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding commenced by any Person (other than Lender)
and Borrower fails to use its best efforts to obtain a dismissal of such proceedings.
(d) Nothing herein shall be deemed to be a waiver of any right which Lender may have under
Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for
the full amount of the indebtedness secured by the Security Instrument or to require that all
collateral shall continue to secure all of the indebtedness owing to Lender in accordance with this
Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.
Section 9.5 Intentionally Omitted.
Section 9.6 Contributions and Waivers.
(a) As a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each Borrower will
benefit, directly and indirectly, from each Borrower’s obligation to pay the Debt and perform its
Obligations and in consideration therefore each Borrower desires to enter into an allocation and
contribution agreement among themselves as set forth in this Section 9.6 to allocate such benefits
among themselves and to provide a fair and equitable agreement to make contributions among each of
the Borrowers in the event any payment is made by any individual Borrower hereunder to Lender (such
payment being referred to herein as a “Contribution,” and for purposes of this Section 9.6,
includes any exercise of recourse by Lender against any Collateral of a Borrower and application of
proceeds of such Collateral in satisfaction of such Borrower’s obligations, to Lender under the
Loan Documents).
(b) Each Borrower shall be liable hereunder with respect to the Obligations only for such
total maximum amount (if any) that would not render its Obligations hereunder or under any of the
Loan Documents subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable
provisions of any State law.
(c) In order to provide for a fair and equitable contribution among Borrowers in the event
that any Contribution is made by an individual Borrower (a “Funding Borrower”), such Funding
Borrower shall be entitled to a reimbursement Contribution (“Reimbursement Contribution”) from all
other Borrowers for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Borrower in
discharging any of the Obligations, in the manner and to the extent set forth in this Section 9.6.
(d) For purposes hereof, the “Benefit Amount” of any individual Borrower as of any date of
determination shall be the net value of the benefits to such Borrower and its Affiliates from
extensions of credit made by Lender to (a) such Borrower and (b) to the other Borrowers hereunder
and the Loan Documents to the extent such other Borrowers have guaranteed or mortgaged the Property
to secure the Obligations of such Borrower to Lender.
- 101 -
(e) Each Borrower shall be liable to a Funding Borrower in an amount equal to the greater of
(A) the (i) ratio of the Benefit Amount of such Borrower to the total amount of the Obligations,
multiplied by (ii) the amount of Obligations paid by such Funding Borrower, or (B) ninety-five
percent (95%) of the excess of the fair saleable value of the property of such Borrower over the
total liabilities of such Borrower (including the maximum amount reasonably expected to become due
in respect of contingent liabilities) determined as of the date on which the payment made by a
Funding Borrower is deemed made for purposes hereof (giving effect to all payments made by other
Funding Borrowers as of such date in a manner to maximize the amount of such Contributions).
(f) In the event that at any time there exists more than one Funding Borrower with respect to
any Contribution (in any such case, the “Applicable Contribution”), then Reimbursement
Contributions from other Borrowers pursuant hereto shall be allocated among such Funding Borrowers
in proportion to the total amount of the Contribution made for or on account of the other Borrowers
by each such Funding Borrower pursuant to the Applicable Contribution. In the event that at any
time any Borrower pays an amount hereunder in excess of the amount calculated pursuant to this
Section 9.6 above, that Borrower shall be deemed to be a Funding Borrower to the extent of such
excess and shall be entitled to a Reimbursement Contribution from the other Borrowers in accordance
with the provisions of this Section.
(g) Each Borrower acknowledges that the right to Reimbursement Contribution hereunder shall
constitute an asset in favor of Borrower to which such Reimbursement Contribution is owing.
(h) No Reimbursement Contribution payments payable by a Borrower pursuant to the terms of this
Section 9.6 shall be paid until all amounts then due and payable by all of Borrowers to Lender,
pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, are paid in full. Nothing contained in this Section
9.6 shall limit or affect in any way the Obligations of any Borrower to Lender under this Note or
any other Loan Documents.
(i) Each Borrower waives:
(A) any right to require Lender to proceed against any other Borrower or any
other person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by Lender at any
time or to pursue any other remedy in Lender’s power before proceeding against
Borrower;
(B) the defense of the statute of limitations in any action against any other
Borrower or for the collection of any indebtedness or the performance of any
obligation under the Loan;
(C) any defense based upon any legal disability or other defense of any other
Borrower, any guarantor of any other person or by reason of the cessation or
limitation of the liability of any other Borrower or any guarantor from any cause
other than full payment of all sums
- 102 -
payable under the Note, this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents;
(D) any defense based upon any lack of authority of the officers, directors,
partners or agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any other Borrower or
any principal of any other Borrower or any defect in the formation of any other
Borrower or any principal of any other Borrower;
(E) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the
obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects
more burdensome than that of a principal;
(F) any defense based upon any failure by Lender to obtain collateral for the
indebtedness or failure by Lender to perfect a lien on any collateral;
(G) presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind;
(H) any defense based upon any failure of Lender to give notice of sale or
other disposition of any collateral to any other Borrower or to any other person or
entity or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any sale or
disposition of any collateral;
(I) any defense based upon any failure of Lender to comply with Applicable
Laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any collateral, including,
without limitation, any failure of Lender to conduct a commercially reasonable sale
or other disposition of any collateral;
(J) any defense based upon any election by Lender, in any bankruptcy
proceeding, of the application or non-application of Section 1111(6)(2) of the
Bankruptcy Code or any successor statute;
(K) any defense based upon any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the
Bankruptcy Code;
(L) any defense based upon any agreement or stipulation entered into by Lender
with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding;
(M) any defense based upon any borrowing or any grant of a security interest
under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code;
(N) any defense based upon the avoidance of any security interest in favor of
Lender for any reason;
- 103 -
(O) any defense based upon any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding, including
any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the obligations
evidenced by the Note or owing under any of the Loan Documents; and
(P) any defense or benefit based upon Borrower’s, or any other party’s,
resignation of the portion of any obligation secured by the applicable Security
Instruments to be satisfied by any payment from any other Borrower or any such
party.
(j) Each Borrower waives:
(A) all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Lender
even though the election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect
to security for the Loan or any other amounts owing under the Loan Documents, has
destroyed Borrower’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any other
Borrower;
(B) all rights and defenses that Borrower may have because any of Debt is
secured by real property. This means, among other things: (i) Lender may collect
from Borrower without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral
pledged by any other Borrower, (ii) if Lender forecloses on any real property
collateral pledged by any other Borrower, (a) the amount of the Debt may be reduced
only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even
if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, (b) Lender may collect from
Borrower even if any other Borrower, by foreclosing on the real property
collateral, has destroyed any right Borrower may have to collect from any other
Borrower. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and
defenses Borrower may have because any of the Debt is secured by real property; and
(C) any claim or other right which Borrower might now have or hereafter
acquire against any other Borrower or any other person that arises from the
existence or performance of any obligations under the Note, this Agreement, the
Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any
of the following: (i) any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration,
contribution, or indemnification; or (ii) any right to participate in any claim or
remedy of Lender against any other Borrower or any collateral security therefor,
whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract,
statute or common law.
Section 9.7 Syndication
9.7.1 Syndication.
- 104 -
The provisions of this Section 9.7 shall only apply in the event that the Loan is syndicated
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.7 set forth below.
9.7.2 Sale of Loan, Co-Lenders, Participations and Servicing.
(a) Lender and any Co-Lender may, at their option, without Borrower’s consent (but with notice
to Borrower), sell with novation all or any part of their right, title and interest in, and to, and
under the Loan (the “Syndication”), to one or more additional lenders (each a “Co-Lender”). Each
additional Co-Lender shall enter into an assignment and assumption agreement (the “Assignment and
Assumption”) assigning a portion of Lender’s or Co-Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan,
and pursuant to which the additional Co-Lender accepts such assignment and assumes the assigned
obligations. From and after the effective date specified in the Assignment and Assumption (i) each
Co-Lender shall be a party hereto and to each Loan Document to the extent of the applicable
percentage or percentages set forth in the Assignment and Assumption and, except as specified
otherwise herein, shall succeed to the rights and obligations of Lender and the Co-Lenders
hereunder and thereunder in respect of the Loan, and (ii) Lender, as lender and each Co-Lender, as
applicable, shall, to the extent such rights and obligations have been assigned by it pursuant to
such Assignment and Assumption, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations
hereunder and under the Loan Documents.
(b) The liabilities of Lender and each of the Co-Lenders shall be several and not joint, and
Lender’s and each Co-Lender’s obligations to Borrower under this Agreement shall be reduced by the
amount of each such Assignment and Assumption. Neither Lender nor any Co-Lender shall be
responsible for the obligations of any other Co-Lender. Lender and each Co-Lender shall be liable
to Borrower only for their respective proportionate shares of the Loan. If for any reason any of
the Co-Lenders shall fail or refuse to abide by their obligations under this Agreement, Lender and
the other Co-Lenders shall not be relieved of their obligations, if any, hereunder; notwithstanding
the foregoing, Lender and the Co-Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, at their
sole option, to make the defaulting Co- Lender’s pro rata share of such advance pursuant to the
Co-Lending Agreement.
(c) Borrower agrees that it shall, in connection with any sale of all or any portion of the
Loan, whether in whole or to an additional Co-Lender or Participant, within ten (10) Business Days
after requested by Agent, furnish Agent with the certificates required under Sections 5.1.10 and
5.1.13 hereof and such other information as reasonably requested by any additional Co-Lender or
Participant in performing its due diligence in connection with its purchase of an interest in the
Loan.
(d) Lender (or an Affiliate of Lender) shall act as administrative agent for itself and the
Co-Lenders (together with any successor administrative agent, the “Agent”) pursuant to this Section
9.7. Borrower acknowledges that Lender, as Agent, shall have the sole and exclusive authority to
execute and perform this Agreement and each Loan Document on behalf of itself, as Lender and as
agent for itself and the Co-Lenders subject to the terms of the Co-Lending Agreement. Lender
acknowledges that Lender, as Agent, shall retain the exclusive right to grant approvals and give
consents with respect to the
- 105 -
operating budgets required to be delivered hereunder and with respect to matters concerning
the establishment and administration of the Lockbox Account and the other Accounts. Except as
otherwise provided herein, Borrower shall have no obligation to recognize or deal directly with any
Co-Lender, and no Co-Lender shall have any right to deal directly with Borrower with respect to the
rights, benefits and obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, the Loan Documents or any one or
more documents or instruments in respect thereof. Borrower may rely conclusively on the actions of
Lender as Agent to bind Lender and the Co-Lenders, notwithstanding that the particular action in
question may, pursuant to this Agreement or the Co-Lending Agreement be subject to the consent or
direction of some or all of the Co-Lenders. Lender may resign as Agent of the Co-Lenders, in its
sole discretion, or if required to by the Co-Lenders in accordance with the term of the Co-Lending
Agreement, in each case without the consent of Borrower. Upon any such resignation, a successor
Agent shall be determined pursuant to the terms of the Co-Lending Agreement. The term Agent shall
mean any successor Agent.
(e) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the Agent shall not have
any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein (and in the Co-Lending
Agreement) and no covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities of
Agent shall be implied by or inferred from this Agreement, the Co-Lending Agreement, or any other
Loan Document, or otherwise exist against Agent.
(f) Except to the extent its obligations hereunder and its interest in the Loan have been
assigned pursuant to one or more Assignments and Assumption, Lender, as Agent, shall have the same
rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Co-Lender and may exercise the same as though
it were not Agent, respectively. The term “Co-Lender” or “Co-Lenders” shall, unless otherwise
expressly indicated, include Lender in its individual capacity. Lender and the other Co-Lenders
and their respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under
indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with, Borrower, or any Affiliate of
Borrower and any Person who may do business with or own securities of Borrower or any Affiliate of
Borrower, all as if they were not serving in such capacities hereunder and without any duty to
account therefor to each other.
(g) If required by any Co-Lender, each Borrower hereby agrees to execute supplemental notes in
the principal amount of such Co-Lender’s pro rata share of the Loan substantially in the form of
the Note, and such supplemental note shall (i) be payable to order of such Co-Lender, (ii) be dated
as of the Closing Date, and (iii) mature on the Maturity Date. Such supplemental note shall
provide that it evidences a portion of the existing indebtedness hereunder and under the Note and
not any new or additional indebtedness of Borrower. The term “Note” as used in this Agreement and
in all the other Loan Documents shall include all such supplemental notes.
(h) Lender, as Agent, shall maintain at its domestic lending office or at such other location
as Lender, as Agent, shall designate in writing to each Co-Lender and Borrower a copy of each
Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the
names and addresses of the Co-Lenders, the amount of each Co-Lender’s proportionate share of the
Loan and the name and address of each
- 106 -
Co-Lender’s agent for service of process (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall
be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Borrower, Lender, as Agent,
and the Co-Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Co-Lender
hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection and
copying by Borrower or any Co-Lender during normal business hours upon reasonable prior notice to
the Agent. A Co-Lender may change its address and its agent for service of process upon written
notice to Lender, as Agent, which notice shall only be effective upon actual receipt by Lender, as
Agent, which receipt will be acknowledged by Lender, as Agent, upon request.
(i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any financial institution or other entity
may be sold a participation interest in the Loan by Lender or any Co-Lender without Borrower’s
consent (such financial institution or entity, a “Participant”) (x) if such sale is without
novation and (y) if the other conditions set forth in this paragraph are met. No Participant shall
be considered a Co-Lender hereunder or under the Note or the Loan Documents. No Participant shall
have any rights under this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents and the Participant’s
rights in respect of such participation shall be solely against Lender or Co-Lender, as the case
may be, as set forth in the participation agreement executed by and between Lender or Co-Lender, as
the case may be, and such Participant. No participation shall relieve Lender or Co-Lender, as the
case may be, from its obligations hereunder or under the Note or the Loan Documents and Lender or
Co- Lender, as the case may be, shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its
obligations hereunder.
(j) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, Lender or any Co-Lender
may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, amounts owing to it in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in
accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), provided
that no such security interest or the exercise by the secured party of any of its rights thereunder
shall release Lender or Co-Lender from its funding obligations hereunder.
9.7.3 Cooperation in Syndication.
Borrower agrees to assist Lender in completing a Syndication satisfactory to Lender. Such
assistance shall include (i) direct contact between senior management and advisors of Borrower and
the proposed Co-Lenders, (ii) assistance in the preparation of a confidential information
memorandum and other marketing materials to be used in connection with the Syndication, (iii) the
hosting, with Lender, of one or more meetings of prospective Co-Lenders or with the Rating
Agencies, (iv) the delivery of appraisals satisfactory to Lender if required, and (v) working with
Lender to procure a rating for the Loan by the Rating Agencies.
(a) Lender shall manage all aspects of the Syndication of the Loan, including decisions as to
the selection of institutions to be approached and when they will be approached, when their
commitments will be accepted, which institutions will participate, the allocations of the
commitments among the Co-Lenders and the amount and
- 107 -
distribution of fees among the Co-Lenders. To assist Lender in its Syndication efforts,
Borrower agrees promptly to prepare and provide to Lender all information with respect to Borrower,
Manager, Guarantor and the Property contemplated hereby, including all financial information and
projections (the “Projections”), as Lender may reasonably request in connection with the
Syndication of the Loan. Borrower hereby represents and covenants that (i) all information other
than the Projections (the “Information”) that has been or will be made available to Lender by
Borrower or any of their representatives is or will be, when furnished, complete and correct in all
material respects and does not or will not, when furnished, contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained
therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are
made and (ii) the Projections that have been or will be made available to Lender by Borrower or any
of their representatives have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon reasonable
assumptions. Borrower understands that in arranging and syndicating the Loan, Lender, the
Co-Lenders and, if applicable, the Rating Agencies, may use and rely on the Information and
Projections without independent verification thereof.
(b) If required in connection with the Syndication, Borrower hereby agrees to:
(i) amend the Loan Documents to give Lender the right, at Borrower’s sole cost and
expense, to have the Property reappraised on an annual basis;
(ii) deliver updated financial and operating statements and other information
reasonably required by Lender to facilitate the Syndication;
(iii) deliver reliance letters reasonably satisfactory to Lender with respect to the
environmental assessments and reports delivered to Lender prior to the Closing Date, which
will run to Lender and its successors and assigns; and
(iv) execute modifications to the Loan Documents required by the Co- Lenders, provided
that such modification will not (except as set forth in (v)) change any material or
economic terms of the Loan Documents, or otherwise materially increase the obligations or
materially decrease the rights of Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents; and
(v) if Lender elects, in its sole discretion, prior to or upon a Syndication, to split
the Loan into two or more parts, or the Note into multiple component notes or tranches
which may have different interest rates, principal amounts, payment priorities and
maturities, Borrower agrees to cooperate with Lender in connection with the foregoing and
to execute the required modifications and amendments to the Note, this Agreement and the
Loan Documents and to provide opinions necessary to effectuate the same. Such Notes or
components may be assigned different interest rates, so long as the initial weighted
average of such interest rates does not exceed the Applicable Interest Rate.
All reasonable and customary third party costs and expenses incurred by Lender or Borrower in
connection with Borrower’s complying with requests made under this
- 108 -
Section 9.7.3 shall be paid by Lender, including, the reasonable and customary fees and expenses of
Borrower’s legal counsel selected by Borrower and approved by Lender in its sole discretion.
Nothing in this paragraph shall limit or affect Borrower’s obligations to pay for any actual
out-of-pocket costs or expenses which Borrower incurs in complying with the other provisions of
this Agreement.
9.7.4 Payment of Agent’s, and Co-Lender’s Expenses, Indemnity, etc.
Borrower shall:
(a) whether or not the transactions contemplated in this Section 9.7 are consummated, pay all
reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (A) of Agent’s counsel fees and expenses relating to
the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of the Note, this Agreement, the Security
Instrument, and the other Loan Documents and the documents and instruments referred to therein,
the creation, perfection or protection of Lender’s and Co-Lender’s liens on the Property
(including, without limitation, fees and expenses for title insurance, property inspections,
appraisals, if required for Syndication, surveys, lien searches, filing and recording fees, and
escrow fees and expenses), and any amendment, waiver or consent relating to any of the Loan
Documents including releases, (but Agent and the Co-Lender’s shall pay their own respective counsel
fees) and (B) of Agent and Co-Lenders in connection with the preservation of rights under, any
amendment, waiver or consent relating to, and enforcement of, the Loan Documents and the documents
and instruments referred to therein or in connection with any restructuring or rescheduling of the
Obligations (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for
Agent and the Co-Lenders);
(b) pay, and hold Agent and each Co-Lender harmless from and against, any and all present and
future stamp, excise and other similar taxes with respect to the foregoing matters and hold Agent
and each Co-Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting
from any delay or omission (other than to the extent attributable to Agent or such Co-Lender) to
pay such taxes; and
(c) indemnify Agent, (in its capacity as Lender and as Agent), and each Co- Lender, its
officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents and any persons or entities owned or
Controlled by, owning or Controlling, or under common Control or Affiliated with Agent, Agent, or
each Co-Lender (each an “Indemnitee”) from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all
losses, liabilities, claims, damages, expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnitee in connection with any
investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not such
Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto) that may at any time (including, without
limitation, at any time following the payment of the Obligations) be imposed on, asserted against
or incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising in any manner out of, or in any way
related to or by reason of, (i) the execution, delivery or performance of any Loan Document by
Borrower, (ii) the breach of any of Borrower’s representations and warranties or of any of
Borrower’s Obligations, (iii) a default under Section 5.2.8 hereof,
- 109 -
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in the
investigation, defense, and settlement of losses incurred in correcting any prohibited transaction
or in the sale of a prohibited loan, and in obtaining any individual prohibited transaction
exemption under ERISA, the Code, any State statute or other similar law that may be required, and
(iv) the exercise by Agent and the Co-Lenders of their rights and remedies (including, without
limitation, foreclosure) under any Loan Documents, but excluding, as to any Indemnitee, any such
losses, liabilities, claims, damages, expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs or disbursements incurred solely by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Indemnitee as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (collectively,
“Indemnified Liabilities”). Borrower further agrees that, without Agent’s or the Co-Lenders’ prior
written consent, it will not enter into any settlement of a lawsuit, claim or other proceeding
arising or relating to any Indemnified Liability unless such settlement includes an explicit and
unconditional release from the party bringing such lawsuit, claim or other proceeding of each
Indemnitee. Borrower’s obligations under this Section shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the payment of the Obligations. Borrower shall have the right to undertake, conduct
and control through counsel of its own choosing (which counsel shall be acceptable to the
Indemnitee acting reasonably), the conduct and settlement of the Indemnified Liabilities, and the
Indemnitee shall cooperate with Borrower in connection therewith; provided that Borrower shall
permit the Indemnitee to participate in such conduct and settlement through counsel chosen by the
Indemnitee, but reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnitee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ its own counsel, and
the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at Borrower’s cost and expense if the
Indemnitee reasonably determines that (i) Borrower’s counsel is not adequately defending any claim
or proceeding in a manner reasonably acceptable to Indemnitee, or (ii) the interests of Borrower
and the Indemnitee have become adverse in any such claim or course of action; provided, however
Borrower, in such event, shall only be liable for the reasonable legal expenses of one counsel for
all such Indemnitees. None of Borrower nor any Indemnitee shall be liable for any settlement of
any Indemnified Liability effected without its prior written consent, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any indirect or consequential damages in
connection with its activities related to the Loan, the Securitization or the Syndication.
9.7.5 Limitation of Liability.
No claim may be made by Borrower, or any other Person against Agent, or any Co-Lenders or the
Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agent of any of such Persons for any
special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract
or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and Borrower hereby
waives, releases and agrees not to xxx upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued
and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.
9.7.6 No Joint Venture.
- 110 -
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, neither Agent, nor any Co-Lender by
entering into this Agreement or by taking any action pursuant hereto, will be deemed a partner or
joint venturer with Borrower.
9.7.7 Voting Rights of Co-Lenders.
Borrower acknowledges that the Co-Lending Agreement may contain provisions which require that
amendments, waivers, extensions, modifications, and other decisions with respect to the Loan
Documents shall require the approval of all or a number of the Co-Lenders holding in the aggregate
a specified percentage of the Loan or any one or more Co-Lenders that are specifically affected by
such amendment, waiver, extension, modification or other decision.
Section 9.8 Intentionally Omitted.
Section 9.9 Mezzanine Financing.
In connection with any Securitization or Syndication of the Loan, Lender shall have the right
at any time to divide the Loan into two or more parts (the “Mezzanine Option”): a mortgage loan
(the “Mortgage Loan”) and one or more mezzanine loans (the “Mezzanine Loan(s)”). The principal
amount of the Mortgage Loan plus the principal amount of the Mezzanine Loan(s) shall equal the
outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to the creation of the Mortgage Loan
and the Mezzanine Loan(s). In effectuating the foregoing, (in its capacity as the lender under the
Mezzanine Loan(s), the “Mezzanine Lender”) will make a loan to one or more newly formed entities
meeting the requirements of Section 9.9(b) hereof (each a “Mezzanine Borrower”); Mezzanine
Borrower(s) will contribute the amount of the Mezzanine Loan(s) to Borrower and Borrower will apply
the contribution to pay down the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan(s) will
be on the same terms and subject to the same conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Note, the
Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents except as follows:
(a) Lender shall have the right to establish different interest rates and debt service
payments for the Mortgage Loan(s) and the Mezzanine Loan and to require the payment of the Mortgage
Loan and the Mezzanine Loan(s) in such order of priority as may be designated by Lender; provided,
that (i) the total loan amounts for the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan(s) shall equal the
amount of the Loan immediately prior to the creation of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine
Loan(s), (ii) the initial weighted average interest rate of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine
Loan(s) shall initially on the date created equal the interest rate which was applicable to the
Loan immediately prior to creation of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan(s) and (iii) the
initial debt service payments on the Mortgage Loan note and the Mezzanine Loan note(s) shall
initially on the date created equal the debt service payment which was due under the Loan
immediately prior to creation of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan(s). The Mezzanine
Loan(s) will be made pursuant to Lender’s standard mezzanine loan documents. The Mezzanine Loan(s)
will be subordinate to the Mortgage Loan and will
- 111 -
be governed by the terms of an intercreditor agreement between the holders of the Mortgage
Loan and the Mezzanine Loan(s).
(b) Mezzanine Borrower(s) shall be a special purpose, bankruptcy remote entity pursuant to
applicable Rating Agency criteria and shall own directly or indirectly one hundred percent (100%)
of Borrower. The direct equity holder(s) of Mezzanine Borrower(s) (such holder(s) the “Second
Level SPE”) shall be a special purpose, bankruptcy remote entity pursuant to applicable Rating
Agency criteria and shall own directly or indirectly one hundred percent (100%) of Mezzanine
Borrower. The security for the Mezzanine Loan shall be a pledge of one hundred percent (100%) of
the direct and indirect ownership interests in Borrower and Mezzanine Borrower.
(c) Mezzanine Borrower, Second Level SPE and Borrower shall cooperate with all reasonable
requests of Lender in order to divide the Loan into a Mortgage Loan and one or more Mezzanine
Loan(s) and shall execute and deliver such documents as shall reasonably be required by Lender and
any Rating Agency in connection therewith, including, without limitation, (i) the delivery of
non-consolidation opinions, (ii) the modification of organizational documents and Loan Documents,
(iii) authorize Lender to file any UCC-1 Financing Statements reasonably required by Lender to
perfect its security interest in the collateral pledged as security for the Mezzanine Loan(s), (iv)
execute such other documents reasonably required by Lender in connection with the creation of the
Mezzanine Loan(s), including, without limitation, a guaranty substantially similar in form and
substance to the Guaranty delivered on the date hereof in connection with the Loan, an
environmental indemnity substantially similar in form and substance to the Environmental Indemnity
delivered on the date hereof in connection with the Loan and a conditional assignment of management
agreement substantially similar in form and substance to the Assignment of Management Agreement
delivered on the date hereof in connection with the Loan, (v) deliver appropriate authorization,
execution and enforceability opinions with respect to the Mezzanine Loan(s) and amendments to the
Mortgage Loan, and (vi) deliver an “Eagle 9” or equivalent UCC title insurance policy, satisfactory
to Lender, insuring the perfection and priority of the lien on the collateral pledged as security
for the Mezzanine Loan.
All reasonable and customary third party costs and expenses incurred by Lender or Borrower in
connection with Borrower’s complying with requests made under this Section 9.9 shall be paid by
Lender, including, the reasonable and customary fees and expenses of Borrower’s legal counsel
selected by Borrower and approved by Lender in its sole discretion. Nothing in this paragraph
shall limit or affect Borrower’s obligations to pay for any actual out-of-pocket costs or expenses
which Borrower incurs in complying with the other provisions of this Agreement.
It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and
the other Loan Documents if Borrower, Mezzanine Borrower, or Second Level SPE fails to comply with
any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 9.9 after expiration of ten (10) Business
Days after notice thereof.
- 112 -

satisfactory shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole discretion
of Lender and shall be final and conclusive.

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

Section 10.7 Trial by Jury.
BORROWER HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND
WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER
EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN
CONNECTION THEREWITH. 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 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 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 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.
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
- 116 -
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.
(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
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;
(iv) 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 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 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 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 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; provided,
- 117 -
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 Lockbox Account.
(b) 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 “Additional Indemnified
Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder
to the extent that such 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 Additional Indemnified Liabilities incurred
by Lender.
(c) Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold
harmless Lender and the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all losses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in the investigation, defense, and
settlement of losses incurred in correcting any prohibited transaction or in the sale of a
prohibited loan, and in obtaining any individual prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA, the
Code, any State statute or other similar law that may be required, in Lender’s sole discretion)

5.2.8 hereof.

for, (i) any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any Rating Agency
review of the Loan, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or (ii) 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 hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this
Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
- 118 -
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 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 their 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, Xxxxxx, or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior
written approval of Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. 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 10.18 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets.
(a) 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 partners and
others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation
in the event of foreclosure of all or part of the Security
- 119 -
Instrument, 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 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 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.
- 120 -
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, between Borrower and/or its
Affiliates and Lender are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Rollover Guaranty
New York, New York
As of May 24, 2006
GUARANTY
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, and to induce
XXXXXX BROTHERS BANK, FSB, a federal stock savings bank,
having an address at 0000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, individually and as
Agent for one or more Co-Lenders (“Lender”), to lend to
RPB WILLOWWOOD I LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company, having its principal place of business at c/o
Republic Property Trust, 0000
Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, X.X., Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000, and
RPB WILLOWWOOD II LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company, having its principal place of business at c/o
Republic Property Trust,
0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, X.X., Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000 (individually and collectively, as the
context may require, “Borrower”), the principal sum of FORTY-SIX MILLION FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND AND
00/100 DOLLARS ($46,400,000.00) (the “Loan”), advanced pursuant to that certain
Loan Agreement,
dated as of the date hereof, between Borrower and Lender (as the same may be amended, restated,
replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “
Loan Agreement”) and evidenced
by the Note (as defined in the Loan Agreement) and the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Loan
Agreement), the undersigned,
REPUBLIC PROPERTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware limited partnership,
having its principal place of business at c/o
Republic Property Trust, 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, X.X.,
Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000 and
REPUBLIC PROPERTY TRUST, a Maryland real estate investment
trust, having its principal place of business at 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, X.X., Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxxx,
XX 00000 (individually and collectively, as the context may require, “Guarantor”) hereby absolutely
and unconditionally guarantees to Lender the prompt and unconditional payment of the Guaranteed
Obligations of Borrower (hereinafter defined). All capitalized words and phrases not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement.
It is expressly understood and agreed that this is a continuing guaranty and that the
obligations of Guarantor hereunder are and shall be absolute under any and all circumstances,
without regard to the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Note, the Loan Agreement, or
the other Loan Documents, a true copy of each of said documents Guarantor hereby acknowledges
having received and reviewed.
The term “Debt” as used in this Guaranty of Recourse Obligations of Borrower (this “Guaranty”)
shall mean the principal sum evidenced by the Note and secured by the Security Instrument, or so
much thereof as may be outstanding from time to time, together with interest thereon at the rate of
interest specified in the Note and all other sums other than principal or interest which may or
shall become due and payable pursuant to the provisions of the Note, the Loan Agreement, or the
other Loan Documents.
The term “Guaranteed Obligations of Borrower” as used in this Guaranty shall mean an amount
equal to the sum of all of the obligations and liabilities of Borrower with respect to tenant
improvement and leasing commission costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
re-leasing of space at the Property demised under Leases on or after January 1, 2009, which
are due and payable by Borrower to the extent such costs and expenses are not paid in accordance
with the terms of such Leases and the Loan Documents. The Guaranteed Obligations of Borrower shall
not exceed, in the aggregate, $2,400,000.00 and such Guaranteed Obligations of Borrower shall be
reduced, on a dollar for dollar basis, with respect to such tenant improvement and leasing
commission costs and expenses to the extent actually paid by Borrower as required pursuant to the
terms of such Leases and the Loan Documents.
Any indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor now or hereafter existing (including, but not
limited to, any rights to subrogation Guarantor may have as a result of any payment by Guarantor
under this Guaranty), together with any interest thereon, shall be, and such indebtedness is,
hereby deferred, postponed and subordinated to the prior payment in full of the Debt. Until
payment in full of the Debt (and including interest accruing on the Note after the commencement of
a proceeding by or against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code and the regulations adopted and
promulgated pursuant thereto, which interest the parties agree shall remain a claim that is prior
and superior to any claim of Guarantor notwithstanding any contrary practice, custom or ruling in
cases under the Bankruptcy Code generally), Guarantor agrees not to accept any payment or
satisfaction of any kind of indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor and hereby assigns such
indebtedness to Lender, including the right to file proof of claim and to vote thereon in
connection with any such proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, including the right to vote on any
plan of reorganization. Further, if Guarantor shall comprise more than one person, firm or
corporation, Guarantor agrees that until such payment in full of the Debt, (a) no one of them shall
accept payment from the others by way of contribution on account of any payment made hereunder by
such party to Lender, (b) no one of them will take any action to exercise or enforce any rights to
such contribution, and (c) if any Guarantor should receive any payment, satisfaction or security
for any indebtedness of Borrower to any Guarantor or for any contribution by the other Guarantors
for payment made hereunder by the recipient to Lender, the same shall be delivered to Lender in the
form received, endorsed or assigned as may be appropriate for application on account of, or as
security for, the Debt and until so delivered, shall be held in trust for Lender as security for
the Debt. Nothing herein is intended to prevent Guarantor from receiving periodic distributions
from Borrower with respect to its interest in Borrower and in accordance with Borrower’s
organizational documents, absent an Event of Default.
Guarantor agrees that, within five (5) days of written demand, Guarantor will reimburse
Lender, to the extent that such reimbursement is not made by Borrower, for all expenses (including
counsel fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with the collection of the
Guaranteed Obligations of Borrower or any portion thereof or with the enforcement of this Guaranty.
All moneys available to Lender for application in payment or reduction of the Debt may be
applied by Lender in such manner and in such amounts and at such time or times and in such order
and priority as Lender may see fit to the payment or reduction of such portion of the Debt as
Lender may elect.
2
Guarantor hereby waives notice of the acceptance hereof, presentment, demand for payment,
protest, notice of protest, or any and all notice of non-payment, non-performance or
non-observance, or other proof, or notice or demand, whereby to charge Guarantor therefor.
Guarantor further agrees that the validity of this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantor
hereunder shall in no way be terminated, affected or impaired (a) by reason of the assertion by
Lender of any rights or remedies which it may have under or with respect to either the Note, the
Loan Agreement, or the other Loan Documents, against any person obligated thereunder or the
Property covered under the Loan Agreement, or (b) by reason of any failure to file or record any of
such instruments or to take or perfect any security intended to be provided thereby, or (c) by
reason of the release of the Property covered under the Loan Agreement or other collateral for the
Loan, or (d) by reason of Lender’s failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any such right or
remedy or any right or remedy Lender may have hereunder or in respect to this Guaranty, or (e) by
reason of the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code by or against any person obligated
under the Note, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or the death of any Guarantor, or
(f) by reason of any payment made on the Debt or any other indebtedness arising under the Note, the
Loan Agreement, or the other Loan Documents, whether made by Borrower or Guarantor or any other
person, which is required to be refunded pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency law; it being
understood that no payment so refunded shall be considered as a payment of any portion of the Debt,
nor shall it have the effect of reducing the liability of Guarantor hereunder. It is further
understood, that if Borrower shall have taken advantage of, or be subject to the protection of, any
provision in the Bankruptcy Code, the effect of which is to prevent or delay Lender from taking any
remedial action against Borrower, including the exercise of any option Lender has to declare the
Debt due and payable on the happening of any default or event by which under the terms of the Note,
the Loan Agreement, or the other Loan Documents, the Debt shall become due and payable, Lender may,
as against Guarantor, nevertheless, declare the Debt due and payable and enforce any or all of its
rights and remedies against Guarantor provided for herein.
Guarantor further covenants that this Guaranty shall remain and continue in full force and
effect as to any modification, extension or renewal of the Note, the Loan Agreement, or the other
Loan Documents, that Lender shall not be under a duty to protect, secure or insure the Property
covered under the Loan Agreement, and that other indulgences or forbearance may be granted under
any or all of such documents, all of which may be made, done or suffered without notice to, or
further consent of, Guarantor.
Guarantor hereby represents and warrants that Guarantor is not a Plan and none of the assets
of Guarantor constitute or will constitute “Plan Assets” of one or more Plans. If Guarantor is not
a natural person, Guarantor further represents and warrants that (a) Guarantor is not a
“governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and (b) transactions by or with
Guarantor are not subject to State statutes regulating investment of, and fiduciary obligations
with respect to, governmental plans similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section
4975 of the Code currently in effect, which prohibit or otherwise restrict the transactions
contemplated by this Guaranty.
If Guarantor is not a natural person, Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees with Lender that:
3
(a) During the term of the Loan or of any obligation or right hereunder, Guarantor
shall not be a Plan and none of the assets of Guarantor shall constitute Plan Assets.
(b) Guarantor further covenants and agrees to deliver to Lender such certifications or
other evidence from time to time throughout the term of the Loan, as requested by Lender in
its sole discretion and represents and covenants that (A) Guarantor is not and does not
maintain an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, which is subject
to Title I of ERISA, or a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA;
(B) Guarantor is not subject to State statutes regulating investments and fiduciary
obligations with respect to governmental plans; and (C) one or more of the following
circumstances is true:
(i) Equity interests in Guarantor are publicly offered securities, within the
meaning of 29 C.F.R. §2510.3-101(b)(2);
(ii) Less than twenty-five percent (25%) of each outstanding class of equity
interests in Guarantor are held by “benefit plan investors” within the meaning of 29
C.F.R. §2510.3-101(f)(2); or
(iii) Guarantor qualifies as an “operating company” or a “real estate operating
company” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. §2510.3-101(c) or (e).
As a further inducement to Lender to make the Loan and in consideration thereof, Guarantor
further covenants and agrees (a) that in any action or proceeding brought by Lender against
Guarantor on this Guaranty, Guarantor shall and does hereby waive trial by jury, (b) that the
Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York, or, in a case involving
diversity of citizenship, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York,
shall have exclusive jurisdiction of any such action or proceeding, and (c) that service of any
summons and complaint or other process in any such action or proceeding may be made by registered
or certified mail directed to Guarantor at Guarantor’s address set forth above, Guarantor waiving
personal service thereof. Nothing in this Guaranty will be deemed to preclude Lender from bringing
an action or proceeding with respect hereto in any other jurisdiction.
This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection and upon any default of Borrower under the
Note, the Loan Agreement, or the other Loan Documents, Lender may, at its option, proceed directly
and at once, without notice, against Guarantor to collect and recover the full amount of the
liability hereunder or any portion thereof, without proceeding against Borrower or any other
person, or foreclosing upon, selling, or otherwise disposing of or collecting or applying against
the Property or other collateral for the Loan. Guarantor hereby waives the pleading of any statute
of limitations as a defense to the obligation hereunder.
Each reference herein to Lender shall be deemed to include its successors and assigns, to
whose favor the provisions of this Guaranty shall also inure. Each reference herein to Guarantor
shall be deemed to include the heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors
and assigns of Guarantor, all of whom shall be bound by the provisions of this Guaranty.
4
If any party hereto shall be a partnership, the agreements and obligations on the part of
Guarantor herein contained shall remain in force and application notwithstanding any changes in the
individuals composing the partnership and the term “Guarantor” shall include any altered or
successive partnerships but the predecessor partnerships and their partners shall not thereby be
released from any obligations or liability hereunder.
Guarantor (and its representative, executing below, if any) has full power, authority and
legal right to execute this Guaranty and to perform all its obligations under this Guaranty.
All understandings, representations and agreements heretofore had with respect to this
Guaranty are merged into this Guaranty which alone fully and completely expresses the agreement of
Guarantor and Lender.
This Guaranty may be executed in one or more counterparts by some or all of the parties
hereto, each of which counterparts shall be an original and all of which together shall constitute
a single agreement of Guaranty. The failure of any party hereto to execute this Guaranty, or any
counterpart hereof, shall not relieve the other signatories from their obligations hereunder.
This Guaranty may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or
terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of Lender or Borrower, but only by an
agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment,
waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is sought.
This Guaranty shall be governed, construed and interpreted as to validity, enforcement and in
all other respects, in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

“Property”) and which secures the payment of certain indebtedness owed by Landlord to Lender
evidenced by a certain promissory note dated , ___, given by Landlord to Lender
(the note together with all extensions, renewals, modifications, substitutions and amendments
thereof shall collectively be referred to as the “Note”);
B. Tenant is the holder of a leasehold estate in a portion of the Property under and pursuant

referred to as the “Lease”); and
C. Lender has agreed to grant non-disturbance to Tenant under the Lease on the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth.
AGREEMENT:
For good and valuable consideration, Tenant and Lender agree as follows:
1. Intentionally Omitted.
2. Non-Disturbance. If any action or proceeding is commenced by
Lender for the foreclosure of the Security Instrument or the sale of the Property, Tenant shall not
be named as a party therein unless such joinder shall be required by law, provided, however, such
joinder shall not result in the termination of the Lease or disturb the Tenant’s possession or use
of the premises demised thereunder, and the sale of the Property in any such action or proceeding
and the exercise by Lender of any of its other rights under the Note or the Security Instrument
shall be made subject to all rights of Tenant under the Lease, provided that at the time of the
commencement of any such action or proceeding or at the time of any such sale or exercise of any
such other rights (a) the Lease shall be in full force and effect and (b) Tenant shall not be in
default under any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease or of this Agreement on
Tenant’s part to be observed or performed.
3. Attornment. If Lender or any other subsequent purchaser of the
Property shall become the owner of the Property by reason of the foreclosure of the Security
Instrument or the acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or by reason of any
other enforcement of the Security Instrument (Lender or such other purchaser being hereinafter
referred as “Purchaser”), and the conditions set forth in Section 2 above have been met at the time
Purchaser becomes owner of the Property, the Lease shall not be terminated or affected thereby but
shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between Purchaser and Tenant upon all of
the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in the Lease and in that event, Tenant agrees to
attorn to Purchaser and Purchaser by virtue of such acquisition of the Property shall be deemed to
have agreed to accept such attornment, provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be (a) liable
for the failure of any prior landlord (any such prior landlord, including Landlord, being
hereinafter referred to as a “Prior Landlord”) to perform any obligations of Prior Landlord under
the Lease which have accrued prior to the date on which Purchaser shall become the owner of the
Property, (b) subject to any offsets, defenses, abatements or counterclaims which shall have
accrued in favor of Tenant against any Prior Landlord prior to the date upon which Purchaser shall
become the owner of the Property, (c) liable for the return of rental security deposits, if any,
paid by Tenant to any Prior Landlord in accordance with the Lease unless such sums are actually
received by Purchaser, (d) bound by any payment of rents, additional rents or other sums which
Tenant may have paid more than one (1) month in advance to any Prior Landlord unless (i) such sums
are actually received by Purchaser or (ii) such prepayment shall have been expressly approved of by
Purchaser or (e) bound by any agreement terminating or amending or modifying the rent, term,
commencement date or other material term of the Lease, or any voluntary surrender of the premises
demised under the Lease, made without Lender’s or Purchaser’s prior written consent prior to the
time Purchaser succeeded to Landlord’s interest. In the event that any liability of Purchaser does
arise pursuant to this Agreement or the Lease, such liability shall be limited and restricted to
Purchaser’s interest in the Property and shall in no event exceed such interest.
4. Notice to Tenant. After notice is given to Tenant by Lender that
the Landlord is in default under the Note and the Security Instrument and that the rentals under
the Lease should be paid to Lender pursuant to the terms of the assignment of leases and rents
executed and delivered by Landlord to Lender in connection therewith, Tenant shall thereafter pay
to Lender or as directed by the Lender, all rentals and all other monies due or to become due to
Landlord under the Lease and Landlord hereby expressly authorizes Tenant to make such payments to
Lender and hereby releases and discharges Tenant from any liability to Landlord on account of any
such payments.
5. Notice to Lender and Right to Cure. Tenant shall notify Lender
of any default by Landlord under the Lease and agrees that, notwithstanding any provisions of the
Lease to the contrary, no notice of cancellation thereof or of an abatement shall be effective
unless Lender shall have received notice of default giving rise to such cancellation or abatement
and shall have failed within sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice to cure such default, or
if such default cannot be cured within sixty (60) days, shall have failed within sixty (60) days
after receipt of such notice to commence and thereafter diligently pursue any action necessary to
cure such default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation to cure any such
default.

AGREEMENT:
For good and valuable consideration the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Assignment of Management Agreement. As additional collateral security for the
Loan, Borrower hereby conditionally transfers, sets over and assigns to Lender all of Borrower’s
right, title and interest in and to the Management Agreement, said transfer and assignment to
automatically become a present, unconditional assignment, at Lender’s option, upon the
1
occurrence of an Event of Default under the Note, the Loan Agreement, any Security Instrument
or any of the other Loan Documents, including but not limited to escrow agreements, and the failure
of Borrower to cure such default within any applicable grace period.
2. Borrower’s Covenants. Borrower and Manager hereby covenant with Lender that during
the term of this Assignment: (a) neither Borrower nor Manager shall transfer the responsibility for
the management of any Individual Property to any other person or entity without prior written
notification to Lender and the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be withheld by
Lender in Lender’s sole discretion; (b) neither Borrower nor Manager shall terminate or amend any
of the terms or provisions of the Management Agreement without the prior written consent of Lender,
which consent may be withheld in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement; and (c) Borrower
or Manager, as the case may be, shall, in the manner provided for in this Assignment, give notice
to Lender of any notice or information that Borrower or Manager, as the case may be, receives which
indicates that the other party is terminating the Management Agreement or that Manager is otherwise
discontinuing its management of the Property.
3. Termination. At such time as the Loan is paid in full, all of Lender’s right,
title and interest hereunder with respect to the Management Agreement shall terminate.
4. Estoppel. Manager represents and warrants that (a) the Management Agreement is in
full force and effect and has not been modified, amended or assigned other than pursuant to this
Assignment, (b) neither Manager nor Borrower is in default under any of the terms, covenants or
provisions of the Management Agreement and Manager knows of no event which, but for the passage of
time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute an event of default under the Management
Agreement, (c) neither Manager nor Borrower has commenced any action or given or received any
notice for the purpose of terminating the Management Agreement and (d) the Management Fees and all
other sums due and payable to Manager under the Management Agreement as of the date hereof have
been paid in full.
5. Agreement by Borrower and Manager; Lender’s Right to Replace Manager. Borrower and
Manager hereby agree that if (a) Manager shall become insolvent or a debtor in any bankruptcy or
insolvency proceeding, (b) there exists an Event of Default, or (c) there exists a default by
Manager (other than an Approved Manager) under the Management Agreement beyond any applicable
notice and cure periods during the term of this Assignment, then in any such event, at the option
of Lender exercised by written notice to Borrower and Manager, Lender may exercise its rights under
this Assignment and may immediately terminate the Management Agreement and require Manager to
transfer its responsibility for the management of the Property to a Qualified Manager pursuant to a
Replacement Management Agreement.
6. Subordination of Management Agreement. The Management Agreement and any and all
liens, rights and interests (whether xxxxxx or inchoate and including, without limitation, all
mechanic’s and materialmen’s liens under applicable law) owed, claimed or held, by Manager in and
to the Property, are and shall be in all respects subordinate and inferior to the liens and
security interests created or to be created for the benefit of Lender, and securing the repayment
of the Note and the obligations under the Loan Agreement including, without limitation, those
created under the Security Instrument covering, among other things, the Property, and filed or to
2

jurisdiction where the Property is located, and all renewals, extensions, increases, supplements,
amendments, modifications or replacements thereof.
7. Subordination of Management Fees. Borrower and Manager hereby agree that Manager
shall not be entitled to receive any fee, commission or other amount payable to Manager under the
Management Agreement for and during any period of time that any amount due and owing Lender under
the Note and the Loan Agreement is not paid when due; provided, however, that Manager shall not be
obligated to return or refund to Lender any fee, commission or other amount already received by
Manager, and to which Manager was entitled under this Assignment.
8. Consent and Agreement by Manager. Manager hereby acknowledges and consents to this
Assignment and the terms and provisions of Section 5.1.18 of the Loan Agreement. Manager agrees
that it will act in conformity with the provisions of this Assignment and Section 5.1.18 of the
Loan Agreement and Lender’s rights hereunder or otherwise related to the Management Agreement. In
the event that the responsibility for the management of the Property is transferred from Manager in
accordance with the provisions hereof, Manager shall, and hereby agrees to, fully cooperate in
transferring its responsibility to a new Qualified Manager and effectuate such transfer no later
than thirty (30) days from the date the Management Agreement is terminated. Further, Manager
hereby agrees (a) not to contest or impede the exercise by Lender of any right it has under or in
connection with this Assignment; and (b) that it shall, in the manner provided for in this
Assignment, give at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender of its intention to
terminate the Management Agreement or otherwise discontinue its management of the Property.
9. Further Assurances. Manager further agrees to (a) execute such affidavits and
certificates as Lender shall reasonably require to further evidence the agreements herein
contained, (b) on request from Lender, furnish Lender with copies of such information as Borrower
is entitled to receive under the Management Agreement and (c) cooperate with Lender’s
representative in any inspection of all or any portion of the Property. Manager hereby
acknowledges that some, or all, permits, licenses and authorizations necessary for the use,
operation and maintenance of the Property (the “Permits”) may be held by, or on behalf of, Manager.
By executing this Assignment, Manager (i) agrees that it is holding or providing all such Permits
for the benefit of Borrower and (ii) hereby agrees that as security for the repayment of the Debt
by Borrower in accordance with the Loan Agreement, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
Manager hereby grants to Lender a security interest in and to the Permits. Moreover, Manager
hereby agrees that, upon an Event of Default, it will assign the Permits to Lender if such Permits
are assignable or otherwise continue to hold such Permits for the benefit of Lender until such time
as Lender can obtain such Permits in its own name or the name of a nominee.
10. Assignment of Proceeds. Manager acknowledges that, as further security for the
Note, (a) Borrower has executed and delivered to Lender certain Loan Documents, assigning to
Lender, among other things, all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all of the
revenues of the Property and (b) pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, Borrower has agreed
that
3
any Rents and other income and proceeds from the Property are to be deposited directly into an
account of Lender established pursuant to the Loan Agreement.

collecting and processing the Rents solely as the agent for Borrower and Manager has no right to,
or title in, the Rents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Management Agreement,
Manager acknowledges and agrees that the Rents are the sole property of Borrower, encumbered by the
lien of the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents in favor of Lender. In any
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, Manager, or any trustee acting on behalf of Manager,
waives any claim to the Rents other than as such Rents may be used to pay the fees and compensation
of Manager pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Management Agreement.
