LOAN AGREEMENT The Xxxxxx Bldg-MD /160221 Loan No. 00-0000000		Page 6

Section 2.2 Interest Rate; Late Charge. The outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall bear interest at a rate of interest equal to five and four hundredths percent (5.04%) per annum (the “Contract Rate”). Interest at the Contract Rate shall be computed on the basis of a fraction, the denominator of which is three hundred sixty (360) days and the numerator of which is the actual number of days elapsed from the date of the initial disbursement under the Loan or the date of the preceding interest installment due date, as the case may be, to but not including, the date of the next interest installment due date or the Maturity Date whichever is next to occur. If Borrower fails to pay any installment of interest or principal within seven (7) days after the date on which the same is due other than the payment of principal due on the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender a late charge on such past-due amount, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to five percent (5%) of such past-due amount, but not in excess of the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law. While any Event of Default exists, the Loan shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

Section 2.3 Terms of Payment. The Loan shall be payable as follows:

(a) Interest. On the date hereof, Borrower shall pay interest only representing interest accrued from the date hereof through the last day of the current month computed at the Contract Rate. Thereafter, commencing on September 1, 2005, Borrower shall pay interest only in arrears on the first day of each month (each a “Monthly Payment Date”) computed at the Contract Rate until the Maturity Date.

(b) Maturity. On the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, default interest, late charges and any and all other amounts due under the Loan Documents.

	(i)		The Loan is closed to prepayment in whole or in part during the Prepayment/Defeasance Lockout Period. Thereafter, upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lender, Borrower may prepay the Loan, in whole but not in part, on any scheduled monthly payment date and upon payment of: (x) all amounts outstanding under the Loan Documents; and (y) a prepayment premium equal to the greater of (A) one percent (1%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan or (B) the Yield Maintenance Amount (except that no such prepayment premium shall be due or payable if the Loan is repaid on or after the sixtieth (60^th) monthly installment of interest (which for purposes of this provision, shall not include the payment of interest on the Closing Date) due hereunder.

	(ii)		Provided no Event of Default exists, following the Prepayment/ Defeasance Lockout Period, Borrower may obtain the release of the Project from the lien of the Mortgage in accordance with the terms and provisions of *Schedule II* attached hereto (the “Defeasance Option”).



LOAN AGREEMENT The Xxxxxx Bldg-MD /160221 Loan No. 00-0000000		Page 7

(iii)

If the Loan is accelerated for any reason other than casualty or condemnation, and the Loan is otherwise closed to prepayment, Borrower shall pay, in addition to all other amounts outstanding under the Loan Documents, a prepayment premium equal to the sum of (i) the Yield Maintenance Amount, if any, that would be required under the Defeasance Option and (ii) five percent (5%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan. If for any reason the Loan is prepaid on a day other than a Monthly Payment Date, the Borrower shall pay, in addition to the principal, interest and premium, if any, required under this Section, an amount equal to the interest that would have accrued on the Loan at the Contract Rate from the date of prepayment to the next Monthly Payment Date. In the event of a prepayment resulting from Lender’s application of insurance or condemnation proceeds pursuant to Article 3 hereof, no prepayment penalty or premium or the requirement to defease the Loan shall be imposed.

Section 2.4 Security; Establishment of Funds.

(a) The Guaranty shall be secured by the Mortgage creating a first lien on the Project, the Assignment of Leases and Rents and the other Loan Documents. Borrower agrees to establish the following reserves with Lender, to be held by Lender as further security for the Loan:

	(i)		Although no escrow is required therefor, Borrower (i) shall complete the repairs set forth in *Schedule III* (the “Required Repairs”) on or before twelve (12) months following the Closing Date and (ii) if at any future time improvements are required to be made to the Project to remain compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act or similar statutes, including without limitation, installation of levered hardware on common area doors, fit out of additional restrooms as may be required by the local jurisdiction for accessibility, and provision of three additional parking spaces on P3 level, shall promptly perform the necessary improvements; and

	(ii)		Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Trigger Event after the first Loan Year, Borrower shall either (x) deliver to Lender the Replacement and Rollover Escrow Letter of Credit or (y) Lender shall deposit all Net Cash Flow each calendar month into an account with Lender which shall be held by Lender for payment of Operating Expenses, capital improvements to the Project, lease commissions, tenant improvement allowances, and other Project-related expenses, provided that such sums are incurred in accordance with the Budget (the “Net Cash Flow Escrow”).

LOAN AGREEMENT The Xxxxxx Bldg-MD /160221 Loan No. 00-0000000		Page 8

(b) Pledge and Disbursement of Funds. Borrower hereby pledges to Lender, and grants a security interest in, any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in the Funds as additional security for the payment of the Loan. Lender shall make disbursements from the Funds as requested by Borrower, and approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion, on a monthly basis in amounts of no less than $2,500.00 upon delivery by Borrower of Lender’s standard form of draw request accompanied by copies of paid or unpaid invoices for the amounts requested and, if required by Lender, conditional 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 Project at Borrower’s expense prior to making a monthly disbursement in order to verify completion of replacements and repairs for which reimbursement is sought. The Funds shall be held in Lender’s name and may be commingled with Lender’s own funds at financial institutions selected by Lender in its reasonable discretion. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may apply any sums then present in the Funds to the payment of the Loan in any order in its reasonable discretion. Until expended or applied as above provided, the Funds shall constitute additional security for the Loan. Lender shall have no obligation to release any of the Funds while any Event of Default or Potential Default exists. All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in the disbursement of any of the Funds shall be paid by Borrower promptly upon demand or, at Lender’s sole discretion, deducted from the Funds.

(c) Interest Payable by Lender. Lender shall cause all monies on deposit in the Funds to be deposited into interest bearing accounts of the type customarily maintained by Lender or its servicing agent for the investment of (and may be commingled with) similar reserves, which accounts may not yield the highest interest rate then available. The Funds shall be held in an account in Lender’s name (or such other account name as Lender may elect) at a financial institution or other depository selected by Lender (or its servicer) in its sole but reasonable discretion (collectively, the “Depository Institution”). Borrower shall earn no more than an amount of interest on the Funds equal to an amount determined by multiplying the average monthly balance of such Funds by the quoted interest rate for the Depository Institution’s money market savings account, as such rate is determined from time to time (such allocated amount being referred to as “Borrower’s Interest”). Lender or its Depository Institution shall be entitled to report under Borrower’s Federal tax identification number the Borrower’s Interest on the Funds. If the Depository Institution does not have an established money market savings account (or if an interest rate for such account cannot otherwise be determined in connection with the deposit of such Funds), a comparable interest rate quoted by the Depository Institution and acceptable to Lender (or its servicer) in its reasonable discretion shall be used. The amount of Borrower’s Interest allocated to the Funds shall be added to the balance in the applicable Fund, and shall be disbursed for payment of the items for which the applicable Fund is to be disbursed. Any interest earned above the Borrower’s Interest shall be retained by Lender as compensation for its administration and investment of such Funds.

(d) Working Capital Reserve Account. Borrower shall deposit with a financial institution reasonably approved by Lender the sum of (i) $2,875,000.00 (the “Cap Ex Funds”) for capital expenditures at the Project, including the Required Repairs, pursuant either to an annual capital expenditures budget or to invoices evidencing such capital improvements delivered to Lender and (ii) $1,650,000.00 (the “Leasing Cost Funds”) for leasing commissions and tenant improvement costs at the Project for leases approved or deemed approved or for which approval is not required pursuant to Section 5.2 by Lender (collectively, the “Working Capital Reserve Account”).

Proceeds from the Replacement Escrow Fund, Rollover Escrow Fund, Net Cash Flow Escrow, and/or Replacement and Rollover Escrow Letter of Credit, as applicable, shall be disbursed or drawn prior to any disbursement of the Working Capital Reserve Account. All interest earned on funds deposited in the Working Capital Reserve Account shall inure to the benefit of Borrower and shall be added to and disbursed as part of the Working Capital Reserve Account. The taxpayer identification number with respect to the Working Capital Reserve Account shall be Borrower’s taxpayer identification number. Borrower hereby pledges to Lender, and grants a security interest in, any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in the Working Capital Reserve Account as additional security for the payment of the Loan. Borrower shall execute, or cause to be executed, such other documents as are reasonably required by Lender with respect to the Working Capital Reserve.

Section 2.5 Lockbox Account.

Lender shall not, prior to the occurrence of a Trigger Event, deliver such payment direction letters to any tenants of the Project and Lender shall notify any servicer of the Loan that such payment direction letters must be held until a Trigger Event has occurred. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Trigger Event first occurring after the first Loan Year, unless Borrower delivers to Lender within three (3) Business Days after written notice from Lender (i) a Letter of Credit in the amount of $842,233.00 (the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Letter of Credit”) and (ii) a Letter of Credit in the amount of $1,240,000.00 (the “Replacement and Rollover Escrow Letter of Credit”), Lender shall have the right to forward such payment direction letters to all tenants under the leases at the Project and all lease guarantors directing such parties to pay all Rents and all sums due Borrower under the leases at the Project (the “Leases”) to the Lockbox Account. Until expended or applied, amounts held in the Lockbox Account shall constitute additional security for the Debt. Borrower shall not be entitled to make any withdrawals from the Lockbox Account and funds shall be distributed to Lender as provided in Section 2.5(d) below. Lender shall have a first priority perfected security interest in the Lockbox Account and all sums deposited therein. Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses imposed by the Lockbox Bank and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of Lender in connection with establishing and administering the Lockbox Account. Borrower shall have the right at any time during the continuance of a Trigger Event to deliver the Tax and Insurance Letter of Credit and the Replacement and Rollover Letter of Credit and upon delivery of such Letters of Credit the lockbox procedures implemented pursuant to Section 2.5 shall, until the occurrence of a subsequent Trigger Event, cease and all such sums on deposit in the Lockbox Account and the Net Cash Flow Escrow shall be remitted to Borrower.



LOAN AGREEMENT The Xxxxxx Bldg-MD /160221 Loan No. 00-0000000		Page 10

(b) Prior to the occurrence of a Trigger Event, Borrower shall receive, use and apply the Rents and other sums due under the Leases in accordance with the Loan Documents. During the continuance of a Trigger Event after the first Loan Year, unless Borrower delivers to Lender a Tax and Insurance Letter of Credit and a Replacement and Rollover Letter of Credit, Borrower and its property manager shall cooperate in causing all Rents to be so deposited in the Lockbox Account and shall deposit any Rents or other sums due under the Leases which may be received by Borrower and property manager into the Lockbox Account.

(c) For purposes of determining if a Trigger Event has occurred after the first Loan Year, the Debt Service Coverage requirement shall be determined by Lender, at the end of each calendar quarter (based upon the quarterly report provided by Borrower under subsection 7.1(b) below). If a Trigger Event has occurred, upon request by Borrower Lender shall recompute the Debt Service Coverage as of the end of the second (2nd) succeeding calendar quarter and each calendar quarter thereafter. If as a result of such recalculation, the Debt Service Coverage is equal to or greater than 1.15:1 for two (2) consecutive calendar quarters as reasonably determined by Lender (the “Trigger Event Cure”), then, as applicable, the Tax and Insurance Letter of Credit and the Replacement and Rollover Letter of Credit shall be returned to Borrower and Borrower shall again have the right to receive, use, and apply all Rents, the Lockbox Account shall be deactivated and all sums on deposit in any of the Funds shall be remitted to Borrower (until the occurrence of another Trigger Event), and Borrower shall execute new tenant direction letters from time to time as required by Lender which shall be held by Lender pending the occurrence of another Trigger Event.

(d) Sums in the Lockbox Account shall be applied by Lender in the following order: first, to Operating Expenses set forth in the Budget (as defined in Section 7.4); second, to Debt Service; third, to deposits required in the Funds and the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund then currently due; and fourth, all remaining funds on deposit in the Lockbox Account (the “Net Cash Flow”) shall be held by Lender in the Net Cash Flow Escrow and shall be made available to Borrower to pay for tenant improvements, tenant allowances, leasing commissions and other costs associated with the re-leasing of vacant space or renewal of existing leases at the Project.

(e) During the existence of a Trigger Event after the first Loan Year, unless Borrower has delivered the Tax and Insurance Letter of Credit and the Replacement and Rollover Letter of Credit, Borrower shall execute such additional payment direction letters as may be reasonably required by Lender and shall cooperate with Lender in notifying, and shall cause, all tenants to make Rent payments to the Lockbox Account, which shall not be effective to discharge the obligations of such tenant under the respective lease unless paid to Lender pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement.

ARTICLE 3
INSURANCE, CONDEMNATION, AND IMPOUNDS

Section 3.1 Insurance. Borrower shall maintain insurance as follows:

(a) Casualty; Business Interruption. Borrower shall keep the Project insured against damage by fire and the other hazards covered by a standard extended coverage and all- risk insurance policy for the full insurable value thereof on a replacement cost claim recovery basis (without reduction for depreciation or co-insurance), and shall maintain windstorm and such other casualty insurance as reasonably required by Lender.



LOAN AGREEMENT The Xxxxxx Bldg-MD /160221 Loan No. 00-0000000		Page 11

Lender and Borrower acknowledge that Borrower’s current insurance policy on the Property includes terrorism insurance coverage acceptable to Lender. During the term of the Loan, the insurance required above may include an exclusion for risk associated with terrorism to the extent that (1) such exclusions become customary and (A) to the extent terrorism insurance is not available at commercially reasonable rates (as defined below) in the State or (B) if terrorism insurance is not customarily required by Lender in connection with similar loans on similarly situated properties or (2) if terrorism insurance is not available from carriers licensed in the State. As used herein, the term “commercially reasonable rates” shall mean that the premium for terrorism coverage does not increase the overall property and casualty coverage premiums in excess of 50% of the overall cost as of the Closing Date of the policy without terrorism insurance, as such cost may be increased annually by the percentage of increase in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for Washington-Baltimore, DC-MD-VA-WV: All items (1982-1984 = 100) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, United States Department of Labor from such index on the Closing Date. Lender reserves the right to require from time to time the following additional insurance: boiler and machinery; flood; worker’s compensation; and/or building law or ordinance. Borrower shall keep the Project insured against loss by flood if the Project is located currently or at any time in the future in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as an area having special flood hazards and in which flood insurance has been made available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994 (as such acts may from time to time be amended) in an amount at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum amount of the Loan or (ii) the maximum limit of coverage available under said acts. Any such flood insurance policy shall be issued in accordance with the requirements and current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration. Borrower shall maintain use and occupancy insurance covering, as applicable, rental income or business interruption, with coverage in an amount not less than twelve (12) months anticipated gross rental income or gross business earnings, as applicable in each case, attributable to the Project. Borrower shall not maintain any separate or additional insurance which is contributing in the event of loss unless it is properly endorsed and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Lender in all respects. Subject to Section 3.2, the proceeds of insurance paid on account of any damage or destruction to the Project shall be paid to Lender to be applied as provided in Section 3.2.

(b) Liability. Borrower shall maintain (i) commercial general liability insurance with respect to the Project providing for limits of liability of not less than $5,000,000 for both injury to or death of a person and for property damage per occurrence, and (ii) other liability insurance as reasonably required by Lender.

(c) Form and Quality. All insurance policies shall be endorsed in form and substance acceptable to Lender to name Lender as an additional insured, loss payee or mortgagee thereunder, as its interest may appear, with loss payable to Lender, without contribution, under a standard New York (or local equivalent) mortgagee clause. All such insurance policies and endorsements shall be fully paid for and contain such provisions and expiration dates and be in such form and issued by such insurance companies licensed to do business in the State, with a general company and financial size rating of “A-VIII” or better as established by Best’s Rating Guide and “A” or better by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group.



LOAN AGREEMENT The Xxxxxx Bldg-MD /160221 Loan No. 00-0000000		Page 12

Each policy shall provide that such policy may not be canceled or materially changed except upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of intention of non-renewal, cancellation or material change to Lender and that no act or thing done by Borrower shall invalidate any policy as against Lender. Blanket policies shall be permitted only if (i) Lender receives appropriate endorsements and/or duplicate policies containing Lender’s right to continue coverage on a pro rata pass-through basis and that coverage will not be affected by any loss on other properties covered by the policies and (ii) the policy contains a sublimit equal to the replacement cost of the Project in an amount reasonably approved by Lender which is expressly allocated for the Project, and any such policy shall in all other respects comply with the requirements of this Section. Borrower shall pay the premiums for such policy annually in advance and shall provide Lender evidence of such payment no later than forty-five (45) days following such payment. Borrower shall assign the policies or proofs of insurance to Lender, in such manner and form that Lender and its successors and assigns shall at all times have and hold the same as security for the payment of the Loan. Borrower shall deliver certificates of insurance (Accord 27 form) or similar document conveying the same information, evidencing the insurance coverages and endorsements required hereunder. The proceeds of insurance policies coming into the possession of Lender shall not be deemed trust funds, and Lender shall be entitled to apply such proceeds as herein provided.

(d) Adjustments. Borrower shall give prompt immediate written notice of any loss to the insurance carrier and to Lender. Except as permitted in Section 3.2(a), Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers Lender, as attorney-in-fact for Borrower coupled with an interest, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to make proof of loss, to adjust and compromise any claim under insurance policies, to appear in and prosecute any action arising from such insurance policies, to collect and receive insurance proceeds, and to deduct therefrom Lender’s reasonable expenses incurred in the collection of such proceeds. Nothing contained in this Section 3.1(d), however, shall require Lender to incur any expense or take any action hereunder.

Section 3.2 Use and Application of Insurance Proceeds. Lender shall apply insurance proceeds to costs of restoring the Project or the Loan as follows:

(a) if the loss occurs (i) prior to the sixth (6^th) Loan Year or (ii) during the sixth (6^th) Loan Year and the loss is less than $2,000,000.00, Lender shall apply the insurance proceeds to restoration provided (1) no Event of Default exists, and (2) Borrower promptly commences and is diligently pursuing restoration of the Project;

(b) if the loss exceeds $2,000,000.00 and occurs during the sixth (6^th) Loan Year, the insurance proceeds shall be deposited with a financial institution or third-party insurance intermediary reasonably acceptable to Lender and Borrower and shall be disbursed upon joint approval of Lender and Borrower; provided that application of insurance proceeds to restoration pursuant to this clause (b) shall be permitted only if at all times during such restoration (1) no Event of Default exists; (2) Lender determines that there are sufficient funds available to restore and repair the Project to a condition approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion, and to the extent such funds are not sufficient to repair and restore the Project in accordance with the foregoing, Lender shall inform Borrower of the same, and Borrower has, at any time within twenty (20) days of Lender’s notice, deposited such insufficiency with Lender;



LOAN AGREEMENT The Xxxxxx Bldg-MD /160221 Loan No. 00-0000000		Page 13

(3) Lender determines that the Net Operating Income of the Project during and immediately after restoration will be sufficient to pay Debt Service; (4) Lender reasonably determines that restoration and repair of the Project to a condition approved by Lender will be completed within nine (9) months after the date of loss or casualty and in any event ninety (90) days prior to the Maturity Date; and (5) Borrower promptly commences and is diligently pursuing restoration of the Project;

(c) if the conditions set forth in clause (b) above are not satisfied, Lender may apply any insurance proceeds it may receive to the payment of the Loan (without prepayment penalty or defeasance requirement) or allow all or a portion of such proceeds to be used for the restoration of the Project; and

(d) insurance proceeds applied to restoration will be disbursed upon receipt of satisfactory plans and specifications, contracts and subcontracts, schedules, budgets, lien waivers and architects’ certificates, and otherwise in accordance with prudent commercial construction lending practices for construction loan advances, including, as applicable, the advance conditions under Schedule 2.1.

Section 3.3 Condemnation Awards. Borrower shall promptly, after it becomes aware, notify Lender of the institution of any proceeding for the condemnation or other taking (a “Condemnation”) of the Project or any portion thereof. Following the occurrence of a Condemnation provided the condemnation award or compensation is made available (the “Award”) to Borrower, Borrower shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the same to the extent reasonably practicable to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such Condemnation, all to be effected in accordance with applicable law. Lender may (at Lender’s sole cost and expense prior to the existence of an Event of Default) participate in any such proceeding and Borrower will deliver to Lender all instruments necessary or reasonably required by Lender to permit such participation. Without Lender’s prior consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, Borrower (a) shall not agree to any Award in excess of $2,000,000.00, and shall not take any action or (b) fail to take any action which would cause the Award to be determined. All Awards for the taking or purchase in lieu of condemnation of the Project or any part thereof are hereby assigned to Lender, but shall be paid to Borrower, provided, however, that if an Event of Default has occurred and during the continuance thereof, the Awards shall be paid to Lender. Borrower authorizes Lender, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to collect and receive such Awards, to give proper receipts and acquittances therefor, and in Lender’s sole discretion to apply the same toward the payment of the Loan, notwithstanding that the Loan may not then be due and payable, or to the restoration of the Project; provided, however, if the Award is less than or equal to $2,000,000.00 and Borrower requests that such proceeds be used for non-structural site improvements (such as landscape, driveway, walkway and parking area repairs) required to be made as a result of such Condemnation, Lender will apply the Award to such restoration in accordance with disbursement procedures applicable to insurance proceeds provided there exists no Potential Default or Event of Default. Borrower, upon request by Lender, shall execute all instruments reasonably requested to confirm the assignment of the Awards to Lender, free and clear of all liens, charges or encumbrances.



LOAN AGREEMENT The Xxxxxx Bldg-MD /160221 Loan No. 00-0000000		Page 14

Section 3.4 Impounds. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Trigger Event, unless Borrower has delivered to Lender the Tax and Insurance Letter of Credit Lender shall deposit from funds in the Lockbox Account monthly, (a) one twelfth (1/12th) of the Taxes 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) one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the insurance policies required by Lender 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 expiration (said amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund”). Deposits shall be made on the basis of Lender’s estimate from time to time of the charges for the current year (after giving effect to any reassessment or, at Lender’s election, on the basis of the charges for the prior year, with adjustments when the charges are fixed for the then current year). All funds so deposited shall be held by Lender, without interest, and may be commingled with Lender’s general funds. Borrower hereby grants to Lender a security interest in all funds so deposited with Lender for the purpose of securing the Loan. While an Event of Default exists, the funds deposited may be applied in payment of the charges for which such funds have been deposited, or to the payment of the Loan or any other charges affecting the security of Lender, as Lender may elect, but no such application shall be deemed to have been made by operation of law or otherwise until actually made by Lender. Borrower shall furnish Lender with bills for the charges for which such deposits are required at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the charges first become payable. If at any time the amount on deposit with Lender, together with amounts to be deposited by Borrower before such charges are payable, is insufficient to pay such charges, Borrower shall deposit any deficiency with Lender promptly upon demand. Lender shall pay such charges when the amount on deposit with Lender is sufficient to pay such charges and Lender has received a xxxx for such charges. Upon a Trigger Event Cure, provided no Event of Default exists, the proceeds in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund or the Tax and Insurance Letter of Credit, as applicable, shall be returned to Borrower.

Borrower shall protect, defend, indemnify and save harmless Lender its shareholders, directors, officers, employees and agents from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against Lender by any third party by reason of (a) ownership of the Mortgage, the Project or any interest therein or receipt of any rents; (b) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring in, on or about the Project or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (c) any use, nonuse or condition in, on or about the Project or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (d) performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Project or any part thereof; and (e) the failure of any Person to file timely with the Internal Revenue Service an accurate Form 0000-X, Xxxxxxxxx for Recipients of Proceeds from Real Estate, Broker and Barter Exchange Transactions, which may be required in connection with this Agreement, or to supply a copy thereof in a timely fashion to the recipient of the proceeds of the transaction in connection with which this Agreement is made.

Borrower shall reasonably cooperate with Lender in effecting any such Secondary Market Transaction and shall reasonably cooperate to implement all requirements imposed by any Rating Agency involved in any Secondary Market Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to modify any documents evidencing or securing the Loan which would modify (A) the interest rate payable under the Note, (B) the stated maturity of the Note, (C) the amortization of principal of the Note, (D) the non-recourse provisions or transfer provisions of the Loan, (E) Borrower’s structure, or (F) any other material economic term of the Loan, or would materially increase the other obligations of Borrower or its member under the Note, this Agreement or the Other Security Documents, except to the extent such terms as documented are inconsistent with terms contained in the originally approved loan application dated May 22, 2005. Borrower shall provide such information, legal opinions and documents relating to the Borrower and the Project as Lender may reasonably request in connection with such Secondary Market Transaction provided Borrower is not required to incur any third-party professional cost or expense. Lender shall be permitted to share all such information with the investment banking firms, Rating Agencies, accounting firms, law firms and other third-party advisory firms involved with the Loan and the Loan Documents or the applicable Secondary Market Transaction. It is understood that the information provided by Borrower to Lender may ultimately be incorporated into the offering documents for the Secondary Market Transaction and thus various investors may also see some or all of the information.


LOAN AGREEMENT The Xxxxxx Bldg-MD /160221 Loan No. 00-0000000		Page 32

Lender and all of the aforesaid third-party advisors and professional firms shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied by, or on behalf of, Borrower and Borrower indemnifies Lender as to any actual losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact contained in such information or arise out of or are based upon the omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such information or necessary in order to make the statements in such information, or in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Subject to Borrower’s right to contest in accordance with Section 11.8 hereof, Borrower will promptly pay when due all bills and costs for labor, materials, and specifically fabricated materials incurred in connection with the Project and never permit to exist beyond the due date thereof in respect of the Project or any part thereof any Lien, even though inferior to the Liens hereof, and in any event never permit to be created or exist in respect of the Project or any part thereof any other or additional Lien other than the Liens hereof, except for the Permitted Encumbrances (defined in the Mortgage).

Section 8.13 Letter of Credit.

(a) Any letter of credit (a “Letter of Credit”) permitted in this Agreement shall comply with the terms of this Section 8.13. Borrower shall deliver to Lender the original of each Letter of Credit which shall be irrevocable and unconditional and drawn for the Borrower’s account in such amount, issued by a financial institution, and with expiration date as reasonably approved by Lender.

Unless the term of the Letter of Credit is automatically extended, no less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of the Letter of Credit and each renewal or extension thereof (until such time as the Letter of Credit has been, or is required to be, released by Lender as provided below), Borrower shall deliver to Lender a renewal or extension of the Letter of Credit for a term of not less than one year, in form, content and issued by a bank acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion.

(b) Lender shall be entitled to draw upon the Letter of Credit upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default after the first Loan Year (including, without limitation, Borrower’s failure to deliver a renewal or extension of the Letter of Credit in the time and manner required hereinabove) or, unless Borrower substitutes a Letter of Credit from another financial institution reasonably acceptable to Lender within fifteen (15) Business Days of notice from Lender, if Lender believes, in its reasonable judgment, that its rights to draw on the Letter of Credit could be in jeopardy because the credit rating or financial condition of the issuing bank is no longer acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion.

(c) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, proceeds of any draw upon the Letter of Credit (after reimbursement of any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements, incurred by Lender in connection with such draw) shall be disbursed in accordance with Section 2.4(a)(ii) and (iii) or Section 3.4, as applicable, and following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, such proceeds may be held in escrow by Lender or applied to the Loan in such order and manner as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion.


LOAN AGREEMENT The Xxxxxx Bldg-MD /160221 Loan No. 00-0000000		Page 33

(d) Lender shall, upon request, release its rights in the Letter of Credit and surrender the Letter of Credit to the issuing bank upon the earlier of (i) payment in full of all sums due under this Agreement, the Note and all other amounts secured by the Loan Documents or (ii) provided no Event of Default exists, the occurrence of a Trigger Event Cure.

(e) To the extent a Letter of Credit has not been released, Borrower shall obtain the consent of the issuing bank to the transfer of the Letter of Credit to the trustee in a Secondary Market Transaction and shall pay all fees and expenses of the issuing bank and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Lender in connection with such transfer.

(f) The party providing the Letter of Credit or any collateral or reimbursement agreement to the issuer of the Letter of Credit (the “Letter of Credit Party”) shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally waived and relinquished, until the Letter of Credit has been released, all statutory, contractual, common law, equitable and other claims against the Borrower and any assets of Borrower for subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, setoff or other recourse in respect of any sums payable by the Letter of Credit Party with respect to the Letter of Credit, and the Letter of Credit Party shall be deemed to have further irrevocably and unconditionally waived and relinquished any and all other benefits which it might otherwise directly or indirectly receive or be entitled to receive by reason of any amounts paid or payable with respect to the Letter of Credit. In addition, payment of any and all amounts which may now or hereafter be due to the Letter of Credit Party from Borrower or any other obligor with respect to the Letter of Credit is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the indefeasible payment in full to Lender of the Loan. Borrower shall cause the Letter of Credit Party to execute such confirmation of such waiver and relinquishment as Lender may reasonably require.

ARTICLE 10
REMEDIES

Section 10.1 Remedies — Insolvency Events. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 9.7 or 9.8, all amounts due under the Loan Documents immediately shall become due and payable, all without written notice and without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest or dishonor, notice of intent to accelerate the maturity thereof, notice of acceleration of the maturity thereof, or any other notice of default of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower; however, if the Bankruptcy Party under Section 9.7 or 9.8 is other than Borrower, then all amounts due under the Loan Documents shall become immediately due and payable at Lender’s election, in Lender’s sole discretion.

Section 10.2 Remedies — Other Events. Except as set forth in Section 10.1 above, while any Event of Default exists, Lender may (a) by written notice to Borrower, declare the entire Loan to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest or dishonor, notice of intent to accelerate the maturity thereof, notice of acceleration of the maturity thereof, or other notice of default of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower, and (b) exercise all rights and remedies therefor under the Loan Documents and at law or in equity.

Section 10.3 Lender’s Right to Perform the Obligations. If Borrower shall fail, refuse or neglect to make any payment or perform any act required by the Loan Documents, then while any Event of Default exists, and without notice to or demand upon Borrower and without waiving or releasing any other right, remedy or recourse Lender may have because of such Event of Default, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) make such payment or perform such act for the account of and at the expense of Borrower, and shall have the right to enter upon the Project for such purpose and to take all such action thereon and with respect to the Project as it may deem necessary or appropriate. If Lender shall elect to pay any sum due with reference to the Project, Lender may do so in reliance on any xxxx, statement or assessment procured from the appropriate governmental authority or other issuer thereof without inquiring into the accuracy or validity thereof.

Section 11.2 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of the Environmental Indemnity Agreement and the Loan Documents shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.

Section 11.3 Limitation on Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto to conform strictly to applicable usury laws. Accordingly, all agreements between Borrower and Lender with respect to the Loan are hereby expressly limited so that in no event, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Lender or charged by Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be lent hereunder or otherwise, exceed the maximum amount allowed by law. If the Loan would be usurious under applicable law (including the laws of the State and the laws of the United States of America), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents: (a) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under applicable law that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received under the Loan Documents shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, and any excess shall be credited on the Note by the holder thereof (or, if the Note has been paid in full, refunded to Borrower); and (b) if maturity is accelerated by reason of an election by Lender, or in the event of any prepayment, then any consideration which constitutes interest may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by applicable law. In such case, excess interest, if any, provided for in the Loan Documents or otherwise, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread from the date of advance until payment in full so that the actual rate of interest is uniform through the term hereof. If such amortization, proration, allocation and spreading is not permitted under applicable law, then such excess interest shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited on the Note (or, if the Note has been paid in full, refunded to Borrower). The terms and provisions of this Section 11.3 shall control and supersede every other provision of the Loan Documents. The Loan Documents are contracts made under and shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State, except that if at any time the laws of the United States of America permit Lender to contract for, take, reserve, charge or receive a higher rate of interest than is allowed by the laws of the State (whether such federal laws directly so provide or refer to the law of any state), then such federal laws shall to such extent govern as to the rate of interest which Lender may contract for, take, reserve, charge or receive under the Loan Documents.


LOAN AGREEMENT The Xxxxxx Bldg-MD /160221 Loan No. 00-0000000		Page 38

Section 11.4 Invalid Provisions. If any provision of any Loan Document or the Environmental Indemnity Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable; the Environmental Indemnity Agreement and the Loan Documents shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part thereof; the remaining provisions thereof shall remain in full effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance therefrom; and in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision there shall be added automatically as a part of such Environmental Indemnity Agreement and such Loan Document a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible to be legal, valid and enforceable.

Section 11.5 Reimbursement of Expenses. Borrower shall pay all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by Lender to any third party in connection with the Loan other than in connection with a sale of the Loan in a Secondary Market Transaction, including reasonable fees and expenses of Lender’s attorneys, environmental, engineering and other consultants, and fees, charges or taxes for the recording or filing of Loan Documents. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Borrower shall pay all reasonable out of pocket third party expenses of Lender in connection with the administration of the Loan, including audit costs, inspection fees, settlement of condemnation and casualty awards, premiums for title insurance and endorsements thereto, and Rating Agency fees and expenses in connection with confirmation letters, if required. Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days of written request therefore with reasonable supporting documentation, promptly reimburse Lender for all amounts expended, advanced or incurred by Lender to collect the Note, or to enforce the rights of Lender under this Agreement, the Environmental Indemnity Agreement, or any Loan Document, or to defend or assert the rights and claims of Lender under the Environmental Indemnity Agreement or the Loan Documents or with respect to the Project (by litigation or other proceedings), which amounts will include all court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, fees of auditors and accountants, and investigation expenses as may be incurred by Lender in connection with any such matters (whether or not litigation is instituted), together with interest at the Default Rate on each such amount from the date of disbursement until the date of reimbursement to Lender, all of which shall constitute part of the Loan and shall be secured by the Loan Documents.

Section 11.6 Approvals; Third Parties; Conditions. All approval rights retained or exercised by Lender with respect to leases, contracts, plans, studies and other matters are solely to facilitate Lender’s credit underwriting, and shall not be deemed or construed as a determination that Lender has passed on the adequacy thereof for any other purpose and may not be relied upon by Borrower or any other Person. This Agreement is for the sole and exclusive use of Lender and Borrower and may not be enforced, nor relied upon, by any Person other than Lender and Borrower. All conditions of the obligations of Lender hereunder, including the obligation to make advances, are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender, its successors and assigns, and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make advances in the absence of strict compliance with any or all of such conditions, and no other Person shall, under any circumstances, be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any and all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender at any time in Lender’s sole discretion.

Section 11.7 Lender Not in Control; No Partnership. None of the covenants or other provisions contained in this Agreement shall, or shall be deemed to, give Lender the right or power to exercise control over the affairs or management of Borrower, the power of Lender being limited to the right to exercise the remedies referred to in the Environmental Indemnity Agreement or the Loan Documents. The relationship between Borrower and Lender is, and at all times shall remain, solely that of debtor and creditor. No covenant or provision of the Environmental Indemnity Agreement or the Loan Documents is intended, nor shall it be deemed or construed, to create a partnership, joint venture, agency or common interest in profits or income between Lender and Borrower or to create an equity in the Project in Lender. Lender neither undertakes nor assumes any responsibility or duty to Borrower or to any other person with respect to the Project or the Loan, except as expressly provided in the Environmental Indemnity Agreement and the Loan Documents; and notwithstanding any other provision of the Environmental Indemnity Agreement or the Loan Documents: (a) Lender is not, and shall not be construed as, a partner, joint venturer, alter ego, manager, controlling person or other business associate or participant of any kind of Borrower or its stockholders, members, or partners and Lender does not intend to ever assume such status; (b) Lender shall in no event be liable for any Debts, expenses or losses incurred or sustained by Borrower; and (c) Lender shall not be deemed responsible for or a participant in any acts, omissions or decisions of Borrower or its stockholders, members, or partners. Lender and Borrower disclaim any intention to create any partnership, joint venture, agency or common interest in profits or income between Lender and Borrower, or to create an equity in the Project in Lender, or any sharing of liabilities, losses, costs or expenses.

Section 11.8 Contest of Certain Claims. Borrower may contest the validity of Taxes, any mechanic’s or materialman’s lien or legal requirements asserted against the Project, including the rights addressed in Section 6.9 hereof, so long as (a) Borrower notifies Lender that it intends to contest such Taxes, liens, or requirements, as applicable, (b) Borrower provides Lender with an indemnity, bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to Lender (including an endorsement to Lender’s title insurance policy insuring against such claim or demand) assuring the discharge of Borrower’s obligations for such Taxes, liens, or requirements, as applicable, including interest and penalties, (c) Borrower is diligently contesting the same by appropriate legal proceedings in good faith and at its own expense and concludes such contest prior to the tenth (10th) day preceding the earlier to occur of the Maturity Date or the date on which the Project is scheduled to be sold for non-payment, (d) Borrower promptly upon final determination thereof pays the amount of any such Taxes or liens, as applicable, together with all costs, interest and penalties which may be payable in connection therewith, and (e) notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall immediately upon request of Lender pay any such Taxes or liens, as applicable, notwithstanding such contest if, in the reasonable opinion of Lender, the Project or any part thereof or interest therein is in imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, foreclosed, terminated, canceled or lost. Lender may pay over any cash deposit or part thereof to the claimant entitled thereto at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the entitlement of such claimant is established. The provisions of this Section are subject to the terms of Section 3.4 of this Agreement.

SCHEDULE I

YIELD MAINTENANCE AMOUNT

As used herein, “Yield Maintenance Amount” means the sum of the present value on the date of prepayment of each Monthly Interest Shortfall (as hereinafter defined) through the date of the eight-first (81st) monthly installment of interest (which for purposes of this provision, shall not include the payment of interest on the Closing Date) due under the Loan Agreement discounted at the Discount Rate (as hereinafter defined).

The Monthly Interest Shortfall is calculated for each monthly payment date and is the product of (A) the remaining principal balance of the Loan at each month, had the prepayment not occurred, multiplied by the Prepayment Percentage (as hereinafter defined) and divided by 12, and (B) the positive result, if any, from (1) the yield derived from compounding semi-annually the Loan’s Contract Rate minus (2) the Replacement Treasury Rate (as hereinafter defined).

The Prepayment Percentage is a fraction with the numerator equal to the dollar amount of the prepayment and the denominator equal to the balance of the Loan immediately prior to the prepayment, but subtracting for scheduled amortization.

The Discount Rate is the monthly compounded Replacement Treasury Rate plus fifty (50) basis points.

The Replacement Treasury Rate is the yield calculated by linear interpolation (rounded to one-thousandth of one percent) (i.e., .001%) of the yields, as reported in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15-Selected Interest Rates under the heading U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Constant Maturities for the week ending prior to the prepayment date, of U.S. Treasury constant maturities with terms (one longer and one shorter) most nearly approximating the remaining term of the Loan as of the prepayment date. In the event Release H.15 is no longer published, Lender shall select a reasonably comparable publication to determine the Replacement Treasury Rate.

SCHEDULE II

DEFEASANCE

1. In accordance with Section 2.3 of the Loan Agreement, Borrower may obtain the release of the Project from the lien of the Mortgage upon the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

(a) not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender specifying the date (the “Release Date”) on which the Defeasance Deposit (hereinafter defined) is to be made;

(b) the payment to Lender of interest accrued and unpaid on the principal balance of the Note to and including the Release Date;

(c) the payment to Lender of all other sums, not including scheduled interest or principal payments, due under the Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases and Rents, and the other Loan Documents;

(d) the payment to Lender of the Defeasance Deposit and a $5,000 non-refundable processing fee;

(e) the delivery by Borrower to Lender of:

	i)		a security agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, creating a first priority lien on the Defeasance Deposit and the U.S. Obligations (hereinafter defined) purchased on behalf of Borrower with the Defeasance Deposit in accordance with this *Schedule II* (the “Security Agreement”);

	ii)		a release of the Project from the lien of the Mortgage (for execution by Lender) in a form appropriate for the jurisdiction in which the Project is located;

	iii)		an officer’s certificate of Borrower certifying that the requirements set forth in this paragraph (e) have been satisfied;

	iv)		an opinion of counsel in form and substance, and rendered by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lender at the expense of Borrower, stating, among other things, that Lender has a perfected first priority security interest in the Defeasance Deposit and the U.S. Obligations purchased by or on behalf of Borrower and pledged to Lender and as to enforceability of the Security Agreement and other documents delivered in connection therewith;


LOAN AGREEMENT The Xxxxxx Bldg-MD /160221 Loan No. 00-0000000		Page 49

	v)		if required by the Rating Agencies and/or pooling and servicing agreement relating to the Secondary Market Transaction, evidence in writing from the applicable Rating Agencies to the effect that such release will not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any rating in effect immediately prior to such defeasance for any securities issued in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction; and

	vi)		such other certificates, documents or instruments as Lender may reasonably request.

(f) such opinions or documents required by the pooling and servicing agreement issued in the Secondary Market Transaction, if the Loan has been sold in a Secondary Market Transaction; and

(g) Lender shall have received a certificate from an independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Lender, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, certifying that the U.S. Obligations purchased with the Defeasance Deposit will generate sufficient sums to satisfy the obligations of Borrower under the Note and this Schedule II as and when such obligations become due.

In connection with the conditions set forth above, Borrower hereby appoints Lender as its agent and attorney-in-fact for the purpose of using the Defeasance Deposit to purchase or cause to be purchased U.S. Obligations which provide payments on or prior to, but as close as possible to, all successive scheduled payment dates after the Release Date upon which interest payments are required under the Note through the date of the eighty-first (81st) monthly installment of interest (which for purposes of this provision, shall not include the payment of interest on the Closing Date) including the amounts due on the Maturity Date and in amounts equal to the scheduled payments due on such dates under the Note plus Lender’s estimate of administrative expenses and applicable federal income taxes associated with or to be incurred by the Successor Borrower during the remaining term of, and applicable to, the Loan (the “Scheduled Defeasance Payments”). Borrower, pursuant to the Security Agreement or other appropriate document, shall authorize and direct that the payments received from the U.S. Obligations may be made directly to Lender and applied to satisfy the obligations of Borrower under the Note and this Schedule II.

2. Upon compliance with the requirements of this Schedule II, the Project shall be released from the lien of the Mortgage and the pledged U.S. Obligations shall be the sole source of collateral securing the Note. Any portion of the Defeasance Deposit in excess of the amount necessary to purchase the U.S. Obligations required by the preceding paragraph and to otherwise satisfy the Borrower’s obligations under this Schedule II shall be remitted to Borrower with the release of the Project from the lien of the Mortgage. In connection with such release, a successor entity meeting Lender’s Single Purpose Entity criteria, adjusted, as applicable, for the Defeasance contemplated by this Schedule (the “Successor Borrower”), shall be established by Borrower subject to Lender’s approval (or at Lender’s option, by Lender) 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 pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender (the “Assignment Agreement”).


LOAN AGREEMENT The Xxxxxx Bldg-MD /160221 Loan No. 00-0000000		Page 50

Such Successor Borrower shall assume the obligations under the Note and the Security Agreement and Borrower shall be relieved of its obligations (other than customary indemnities under the Loan Documents and in the Environmental Indemnity Agreement which survive any transfer) thereunder, except that Borrower shall be required to perform its obligations pursuant to this Schedule II to pay expenses relating to the maintenance of the Successor Borrower, if applicable. Borrower shall pay $1,000.00 to any such Successor Borrower as consideration for assuming the obligations under the Note and the Security Agreement pursuant to the Assignment Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in the Mortgage to the contrary, no other assumption fee shall be payable upon a transfer of the Note in accordance with this paragraph, but Borrower shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with this Schedule, including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, cost and expenses in obtaining review and confirmation by the applicable Rating Agencies as required herein, and any administrative and tax expenses associated with or incurred by the Successor Borrower.

If a defeasance is to occur hereunder and Borrower intends to effectuate the defeasance in a manner which will permit the assignment of the Note and the Mortgage to a new mortgage lender in order to save mortgage recording tax, Lender shall assign the Note and the Mortgage, each without recourse, covenant or warranty of any nature, express or implied, to such new lender designated by Borrower provided that Borrower (i) has duly executed and caused to be delivered to such new lender a substitute note in the principal amount being defeased that shall be secured by the Defeasance Deposit pursuant to the Security Agreement between Borrower and such new lender (such substitute note to have the lender providing the monies necessary to acquire the Defeasance Deposit and the same term, interest rate, principal balance being defeased and all other material terms and conditions of the Note and to be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies) which substitute note, together with the Security Agreement and the rights of such new lender in and to the Defeasance Deposit, shall be assigned without recourse, covenant or warranty of any nature, express or implied, by such new lender to Lender simultaneously with the assignment of the Note and the Mortgage by Lender and to the new lender and at Lender’s request, shall be expressly assumed by the Successor Borrower and (ii) has complied with all other provisions of this Schedule II. The foregoing procedure is subject to any additional or contrary requirements of the applicable Rating Agencies. In addition, any such assignment shall be conditioned on the following: (A) payment by Borrower of (l) Lender’s then customary reasonable administrative fee for processing assignments of mortgage; and (2) Lender’s reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses for the preparation, delivery and performance of such an assignment; and (B) Borrower shall have caused the delivery of all documents required by the law of the State in connection with such assignment. Borrower shall be responsible for all taxes, recording fees and other charges payable in connection with any such assignment. Borrower agrees that the assignment of the Note and the Mortgage with respect to the Project to a new lender and the assignment of the substitute note, the Defeasance Deposit and the U.S. Obligations and the Security Agreement by the new lender to Lender shall be accomplished by an escrow closing conducted through an escrow agent and pursuant to an escrow agreement reasonably satisfactory to Lender, Borrower and new lender.

3. For purposes of this Schedule II, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(a) The term “Defeasance Deposit” shall mean an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Amount, any costs and expenses incurred or to be incurred in the purchase of U.S. Obligations necessary to meet the Scheduled Defeasance Payments (including Lender’s estimate of administrative expenses and applicable federal income taxes associated with or to be incurred by the Successor Borrower during the remaining term of, and applicable to, the Loan) and any revenue, documentary stamp or intangible taxes or any other tax or charge due in connection with the transfer of the Note or otherwise required to accomplish the agreements of this Schedule II.

(b) The term “Yield Maintenance Amount” shall mean the amount which will be sufficient to purchase U.S. Obligations providing the required Scheduled Defeasance Payments; and
