2.1.4 Use of Proceeds.

If Borrower becomes aware of any change in actual or projected Project-Related Costs which will increase any one or more category or line item of costs reflected in the Development Budget, Borrower shall immediately notify Lender in writing and promptly submit to Lender for its approval a revised Development Budget. Any reallocation of any category or line items in the Development Budget in connection with cost overruns shall be subject to Lender’s approval in Lender’s sole discretion except as set forth in Sections 2.1.7 and 5.1.33, provided, however, under no circumstances shall Borrower be permitted, or Lender obligated to approve, the reallocation of line items from the Building Loan Budget to the Project Loan Budget. Lender shall have no obligation to make any further Advances unless and until the revised Development Budget so submitted by Borrower is approved by Lender and Borrower has satisfied its obligations with respect to any resulting Shortfall under Section 2.1.10. Lender reserves the right to approve or disapprove any revised Development Budget in its sole and absolute discretion (except with respect to reallocations in accordance with Sections 2.1.7 and 5.1.33).

2.1.7 Contingency Reserve. Following the satisfaction of the Initial Advance Conditions, and subject to the prior approval of Lender in its sole discretion, Borrower may revise the Building Loan Budget to move (i) amounts available under any Line Item for Hard Costs that are designated to “Contingency” to other Line Items for Hard Costs in the Building Loan Budget, or (ii) amounts available under any Line Item for Soft Costs that are designated “Contingency” to other Line Items for Soft Costs in the Building Loan Budget.

(a) Borrower shall deliver to Lender bills of sale or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of the cost of, and, subject to the payment therefor, Borrower’s title in and to such Stored Materials;

2.1.9 Amount of Advances. In no event shall any Advance exceed the full amount of Building Loan Costs theretofore paid or to be paid with the proceeds of such Advance plus any Building Loan Costs incurred by Borrower through the date of the Draw Request for such Advance minus (i) the applicable Retainage for each Contract and Subcontract, and (ii) the aggregate amount of any Advances previously made by Lender. It is further understood that the Retainage described above is intended to provide a contingency fund protecting Lender against failure of Borrower or Guarantor to fulfill any obligations under the Loan Documents, and that Lender may charge amounts to pay for Building Loan Costs against such Retainage in the event Lender is required or elects to expend funds to cure any Default or Event of Default, in either instance, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. No Advance of the Loan by Lender shall be deemed to be an approval or acceptance by the Lender of any work performed thereon or the materials furnished with respect thereto.

2.1.10 Loan-In-Balance. As used herein, a “Shortfall” shall mean, as to any Line Item in the Development Budget as of any date, the amount determined by Lender, in Lender’s sole but reasonable judgment, by which (A) the cost of completing or satisfying such Line Item, exceeds (B) the remaining undisbursed portion of the Loan allocated to such Line Item in the Development Budget plus any sums deposited with Lender pursuant to this Section 2.1.10 to pay for such Line Item and not previously disbursed plus any Reserve Funds to the extent such Reserve Funds are available hereunder for the payment of such Line Item. From time to time and at any time during the Construction Period, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to notify Borrower that it has determined a Shortfall exists as to any one or more Line Items. If Lender at any time shall so notify Borrower, Borrower shall, at its option within five (5) days of Lender’s notification as aforesaid, either: (i) deposit with Lender an amount equal to such Shortfall, which Lender disburse to Borrower to the satisfaction of the costs of such Line Item prior to advancing any further Loan proceeds on account of such costs; (ii) post an irrevocable standby Letter of Credit in the amount of such Shortfall, in favor of Lender; (iii) to the extent permitted under Sections 2.1.7 and 5.1.33, and following the satisfaction of the Initial Advance Conditions allocate the Contingency Reserve, with respect to the Line Item(s) in question, to the Shortfall, and provided, further that the amount of the remaining Contingency Reserve for such Line Item(s) (following the allocation to the Shortfall) is sufficient for such Line Item(s), as determined by Lender in its sole discretion; and (iv) to the extent permitted under Section 5.1.33, and then only following the satisfaction of the Initial Advance Conditions, reallocate cost savings from the Development Budget in respect of the Loan (or other reallocations which are approved by Lender, in its sole discretion) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, but only to the extent such cost savings can be allocated to the related Line Items. Borrower hereby agrees that Lender shall have a lien on and security interest in, for the benefit of Lender, any sums deposited pursuant to clause (i) above and that Borrower shall have no right to withdraw any such sums except for the payment of the aforesaid costs as approved by Lender. Lender shall have no obligation to make any further Advances of proceeds of the Loan as to any Line Item until the sums required to be deposited pursuant to clause (i) above as to such Line Item have been exhausted, or until Borrower has posted an irrevocable standby Letter of Credit pursuant to clause (iii) above, as the case may be, and, in any such case, the Loan is back “in balance”. Any such sums not used as provided in said clause (i) shall be released to Borrower when and to the extent that Lender reasonably determines that the amount thereof is more than the excess, if any, of the remaining Project-Related Costs over the undisbursed balance of the Loan, provided, however, that should an Event of Default occur, Lender, in its sole discretion, may apply such amounts either to the remaining Project-Related Costs or to the immediate reduction of outstanding principal and/or interest under the Note.

2.1.11 Quality of Work

(k) . No Advance or any portion thereof shall be made with respect to defective work or to any contractor that has performed work that is defective and that has not been cured, as confirmed by the report of the Construction Consultant, but Lender may disburse all or part of any Advance before the sum shall become due if Lender believes it advisable to do so, and all such Advances or parts thereof shall be deemed to have been made pursuant to this Agreement.

2.1.12 Required Equity Funds. All Required Equity Funds shall be contributed (i.e., expended by Borrower and invested by Borrower in the Property, for Project–Related Costs set forth on the approved Development Budget) before the Closing Date.

2.1.13 Trust Fund. Pursuant to Section 13 of the New York Lien Law, Borrower shall receive the Advances hereunder and shall hold the right to receive the Advances as a trust fund to be applied first for the purpose of paying the Costs of the Improvements and shall apply the Advances first to the payment of the Cost of the Improvements on the Property before using any part of the total of the same for any other purpose.

2.1.14 Final Project Report and Development Budget. Attached hereto as Schedule II is Borrower’s detailed and definitive budget of all Project-Related Costs to be incurred by Borrower during the Construction Term and that will be disbursed out of Loan proceeds subject to availability and satisfaction of all applicable conditions to Advances hereunder and under the Project Loan Agreement, being so indicated, delineated by each category of Project-Related Costs (each a “Line Item” or “Budget Line”) and further broken down to segregate Building Loan Costs and Project Loan Costs, which budget has been approved by Lender and Construction Consultant (the “Development Budget”). The portion of the Development Budget that includes only Building Loan Costs is referred to herein as the “Building Loan Budget” and the portion of the Development Budget that includes only Project Loan Costs is referred to herein as the “Project Loan Budget.”

2.1.15 Miscellaneous.

(a) The making of an Advance by Lender shall not constitute Lender’s approval or acceptance of the construction theretofore completed. Lender’s inspection and approval of the Plans and Specifications, the construction of the Project Improvements, or the workmanship and materials used therein, shall impose no liability of any kind on Lender, the sole obligation of Lender as the result of such inspection and approval being to make the Advances if and to the extent, required by this Agreement.

(b) ALL POTENTIAL LIENORS ARE HEREBY CAUTIONED TO EXERCISE SOUND BUSINESS JUDGMENT IN THE EXTENSION OF CREDIT TO BORROWER. NO POTENTIAL LIENOR SHOULD EXPECT LENDER TO MAKE ADVANCES OF THE LOAN IN AMOUNTS AND AT TIMES SUCH THAT IT WILL NOT BE NECESSARY FOR EACH SUCH POTENTIAL LIENOR TO EXERCISE SOUND BUSINESS JUDGMENT IN THE EXTENSION OF CREDIT TO BORROWER. MOREOVER, ALL POTENTIAL LIENORS ARE REMINDED THAT SUBDIVISION (3) OF SECTION 13 OF THE NEW YORK LIEN LAW PROVIDES THAT “NOTHING IN THIS SUBDIVISION SHALL BE CONSIDERED AS IMPOSING UPON THE LENDER ANY OBLIGATION TO SEE THE PROPER APPLICATION OF SUCH ADVANCES BY THE OWNER,” AND LENDER DOES NOT IMPOSE SUCH AN OBLIGATION ON ITSELF.

Section 2.2 Interest Rate.

2.2.1 Interest Rate. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue from (and include) the Closing Date to but excluding the Maturity Date at the Interest Rate calculated as set forth in Section 2.2.2 below.

2.2.2 Interest Calculation. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on the Interest Rate and a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (c) the outstanding principal balance.

2.2.3 Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Loan and any other amounts due pursuant to the Loan Documents, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.

2.2.4 Usury Savings. This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full 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.

Section 2.3 Loan Payment.

2.3.1 Monthly Debt Service Payments. Borrower shall pay to Lender (a) on the Closing Date, an amount equal to interest only on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan from and including the Closing Date up to and including December 31, 2007, which interest shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2 hereof, and (b) on each Payment Date commencing on the Payment Date occurring in February, 2008 and thereafter up to and including the Maturity Date, Borrower shall make a payment to Lender equal to the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, which payments shall be applied first to interest due for the related Interest Period at the Interest Rate, for such related Interest Period and then to the principal amount of the Loan due in accordance with this Agreement, and lastly, to any other amounts due and unpaid pursuant to the Loan Documents hereto. Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that, on the 15th calendar day of the month preceding each Payment Date during the Construction Term: (a) if and to the extent undrawn funds remain available for Advance under the Project Loan from the Interest Reserve Line Item of the Project Loan Budget, and provided that that no Event of Default or monetary Default then exists under any of the Loan Documents or would occur as a result of such Project Loan Advance, the Monthly Debt Service Amount then due and owing shall be advanced by Lender by a Project Loan Advance under Interest Reserve Line Item of the Project Loan Budget; and (b) if no amount remains available under the Interest Reserve Line Item but and to the extent Interest Reserve Funds are on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account, and no Event of Default or monetary Default then exists under any of the Loan Documents, the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount then due and payable shall be paid by application of funds from the Interest Reserve Account. Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that Lender may automatically make a Project Loan Advance or apply Interest Reserve Funds on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account on each Payment Date occurring during the Construction Term, in either instance, in accordance with this Section 2.3.1, without the need for Borrower to submit a Draw Request or otherwise request such an Advance or application.

2.3.2 Payments Generally. The first Interest Period hereunder shall commence on and include the Closing Date and shall end on and include December 31, 2007. Thereafter each Interest Period shall commence on the first (1st) day of each calendar month during the term of this Agreement and shall end on and include the final calendar date of such calendar month. For purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating Interest Periods, if the day on which such payment is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day and with respect to payments of principal due on the Maturity Date, interest shall be payable at the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, through and including the day immediately preceding such Maturity Date. All amounts due under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim, defense or any other deduction whatsoever.

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

2.3.4 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents (including the amounts due on the Maturity Date) are not paid by Borrower on or prior to the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the Maximum Legal Rate in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.

2.3.5 Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Lender’s office or as otherwise directed by Lender, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, commencing after the Payment Date three (3) months prior to the Maturity Date (the "Open Period Date"), or on any Payment Date thereafter (or on any date thereafter, provided that interest is paid through the next Payment Date), Borrower may, at its option, prepay the Debt in whole, but not in part, without payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium.

2.4.2 Mandatory Prepayments. On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Lender actually receives any Net Proceeds, if Lender is not obligated to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for the Restoration of the Property or otherwise remit such Net Proceeds to Borrower pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof, Borrower shall prepay or authorize Lender to apply Net Proceeds as a prepayment of all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan together with accrued interest through the end of the related Interest Period and any other sums due hereunder in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds; provided, however, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may apply such Net Proceeds to the Debt (until paid in full) in any order or priority in its sole discretion. Other than following an Event of Default, no Yield Maintenance Premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2.

2.4.3 Prepayments After Default. If following an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower or otherwise recovered by Lender, such tender or recovery shall be (a) made on the next occurring Payment Date together with the Monthly Debt Service Payment and (b) deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower in violation of the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section 2.4.1 hereof and Borrower shall pay, in addition to the Debt, an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Default Premium.

2.4.4 Prepayment Prior to Defeasance Expiration Date. If the Permitted Release Date has occurred but the Defeasance Expiration Date has not occurred, the Debt may be prepaid in whole (but not in part) prior to the date permitted under Section 2.4.1 hereof upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender specifying the Payment Date on which prepayment is to be made (a “Prepayment Date”) provided no Event of Default exists and upon payment of an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium. Lender shall notify Borrower of the amount and the basis of determination of the required prepayment consideration. If any notice of prepayment is given, the Debt shall be due and payable on the Prepayment Date. Lender shall not be obligated to accept any prepayment of the Debt unless it is accompanied by the prepayment consideration due in connection therewith. If for any reason Borrower prepays the Loan on a date other than a Payment Date, Borrower shall pay Lender, in addition to the Debt, all interest which would have accrued on the amount of the Loan through and including the Payment Date next occurring following the date of such prepayment.

2.4.5 Application of Prepayments to Components. Any prepayment of the principal of the Loan, in whole or in part, voluntary or involuntary, shall be applied (a) first, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Project Loan until reduced to zero, and (b) second, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Building Loan until reduced to zero. Subsequent to any Event of Default, any payment of principal from whatever source may be applied by Lender between the various components of the Loan in Lender’s sole discretion.

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 Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of Borrower’s properties or assets, and any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court or any such Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.

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

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 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 as permitted pursuant to clause (xx) of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof and (b) obligations under the Loan Documents.

4.1.6 Title. Borrower has good, marketable and insurable fee simple title to the real property comprising part of the Property and good title to the balance of the Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. The Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially and adversely affect the value, operation or use of the Property (as currently used) or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan. The Mortgage, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on the Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents.

4.1.7 Solvency. Borrower has (a) not entered into this 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) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such 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, and does not believe that it will, 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 in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower or any Guarantor in the last seven (7) years, and neither Borrower nor any Guarantor 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 Guarantor is contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws 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.

4.1.8 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 material fact presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects, nor as far as Borrower can foresee, might adversely affect, the Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower.

The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower may allocate cost savings actually achieved and verifiable in any line item of the Building Loan Budget to other line items of the Building Loan Budget, provided that if such costs savings are being allocated from a line item of the Building Loan Budget, (i) such Building Loan Budget line item has a firm contract or sub-contract in place, (ii) the work has commenced and is proceeding in accordance with the Construction Schedule and (iii) the Construction Consultant is satisfied with said contract or sub-contract, including, without limitation, with regard to the scope of said contract or sub-contract.

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 Casualty to Lender and Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion the repair and 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 (a “Restoration”) and otherwise in accordance with this Agreement. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by the Net Proceeds. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In addition, Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies (and shall approve the final settlement, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) and Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation.

6.2.2 Condemnation. Borrower shall give Lender prompt notice of any actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation by any Governmental Authority of all or any part of the Property and shall deliver to Lender a copy 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 Lender 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 Condemnation, Borrower shall continue to pay the Total Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Building Loan Note and the Project Loan Note and in this Agreement and the Project Loan Agreement. Lenders shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by any Governmental Authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest and additional interest (if any) at the rate or rates provided in this Agreement or in the Building Loan Note or in the Project Loan Agreement or in the Project Loan Note, as applicable 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. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by any Governmental Authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property pursuant to this Section 6.2 and otherwise comply with the provisions of hereof. 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 Building Loan Note or the Project Loan Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Total Debt. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6.2 or this Agreement to the contrary, Lender may, in its sole discretion, elect to (y) apply the net proceeds of any Condemnation Proceeds (after deduction of Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses, if any, in collecting the same) in reduction of the Total Debt in such order and manner as Lender may elect, whether due or not, or (z) make the proceeds available to Borrower for the restoration or repair of the Property. Any implied covenant in this Agreement restricting the right of Lender to make such an election is waived by Borrower. If the Condemnation Proceeds are made available to Borrower for restoration or repair, the Condemnation Proceeds shall be disbursed upon satisfaction of and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 6.2.

6.2.3 Application of Net Proceeds.

(a) Minor Casualty or Condemnation. If a Casualty or Condemnation has occurred to the Property, Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all Proceeds are, except as otherwise herein provided, hereby assigned by Borrower to Lender and all Net Proceeds shall, except as otherwise herein provided, be paid to Lender. Borrower shall, in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, file and prosecute the adjustment, compromise or settlement of any claim for Proceeds and, subject to Borrower’s right to receive the direct payment of any Net Proceeds as herein provided, will cause the same to be paid directly to Lender to be held and applied in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Except upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower may settle any insurance claim with respect to Net Proceeds which do not One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) (the “Restoration Threshold”). Whether or not an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall have the right to approve, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, any settlement which would in Lender’s reasonable judgment result in Net Proceeds which exceed the Restoration Threshold and Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender all instruments reasonably requested by Lender to permit such approval. Borrower shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses incurred by Lender on behalf of Lenders (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, the reasonable fees of insurance experts and adjusters and reasonable costs incurred in any litigation or arbitration), and interest thereon at the Default Rate to the extent not paid within fifteen (15) Business Days after delivery of a request for reimbursement by Lender, accompanied by reasonable back-up documentation, in connection with the settlement of any claim for Proceeds and the seeking and obtaining of any payment on account thereof in accordance with the foregoing provisions. If any Proceeds are received by Borrower and may be retained by Borrower pursuant to this Section 6.2, such Proceeds shall, until the completion of the related Work, be held in trust for Lender for the ratable benefit of Lenders and shall be segregated from other funds of Borrower to be used to pay for the cost of the Restoration in accordance with the terms hereof, and to the extent such Proceeds exceed the Restoration Threshold, such Proceeds shall be forthwith paid directly to and held by Lender to be applied or disbursed in accordance with this Article VI. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or if Borrower fails to file any insurance claim for a period of fifteen (15) Business Days, or to prosecute same with commercially reasonable diligence following Borrower’s receipt of written notice to do so from Lender, Borrower hereby irrevocably empowers Lender, in the name of Borrower as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, to file and prosecute such claim (including settlement thereof) with counsel satisfactory to Lender and to collect and to make receipt for any such payment, all at Borrower’s expense (including payment of interest at the Default Rate for any amounts advanced by Lender pursuant to this sentence). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, but excluding all situations requiring prepayment of the Note, to the extent any Proceeds (either singly or when aggregated with all other then unapplied Proceeds with respect to the Property) do not exceed the Restoration Threshold, such Proceeds are to be paid directly to Borrower to be applied to restoration of the Property in accordance with the terms hereof. As soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of the Net Proceeds Borrower shall commence and satisfactorily complete with due diligence: (x) the Completion of the Improvements in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, if such Casualty or Condemnation occurs prior to the Completion of the Improvements; of (y) the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, if such Casualty or Condemnation occurs after the Completion of the Improvements.

(d) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior approval by Lender and by an independent architect selected by Lender (which shall be the Construction Consultant if the Casualty or Condemnation occurs prior to the Completion of the Improvements) (the “Casualty Consultant”).

ARTICLE VII.

RESERVE FUNDS

Section 7.1 Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Simultaneously with the Initial Advance of the Project Loan, Borrower shall deposit with Lender an amount (the “Initial Tax and Insurance Escrow Deposit”) equal to the Taxes, Insurance Premiums and Other Charges that Lender estimates will be payable from and after the Closing Date through and including the date that the Second Tax and Insurance Escrow Deposit is payable, which shall be funded from the Project Loan Advance. At least thirty (30) day prior to the first anniversary of the date hereof, Borrower shall deposit with Lender an amount (the “Second Tax and Insurance Escrow Deposit”) equal to the Taxes, Insurance Premiums and Other Charges that Lender estimates will be payable from and after the first anniversary of the date hereof through and including the last day of the Construction Term. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Project Loan Agreement concerning Advances, the Second Tax and Insurance Escrow Deposit shall be funded from an Advance of like amount under the Project Loan. Simultaneously with the Final Advance, Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount that, when added to the amounts payable under the next sentence, will be sufficient to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all Taxes and Other Charges payable on the next due date thereof at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, and to pay all Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the next renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies. In addition, Borrower shall pay to Lender (or shall cause Lender to advance) on each Payment Date occurring after the Construction Term (a) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Taxes and Other Charges 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 and Other Charges at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, and (b) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Insurance Premiums 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”). The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund and the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, 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 Section 5.1.2 hereof and under the Mortgage. 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 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, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 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. 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, Other Charges 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 (or, if such determination is made during the Construction Term, Borrower shall deposit the full amount of such deficiency within 5 days of such notice) to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the Taxes and Other Charges and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower’s obligation to make monthly deposits with Lender for Insurance Premiums shall be suspended for so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Borrower provides Lender with written evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all insurance coverages required to be maintained by Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement are being maintained in full force and effect through one or more blanket insurance policies (provided that any such blanket insurance policies provide the same level of coverage which would otherwise be provided by a stand-alone policy). Borrower shall provide evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender on an annual basis thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the existing insurance that the insurance has been renewed and will provide notice of cancellation for non-payment. In the event Borrower fails to provide such evidence or an Event of Default occurs, however, Borrower will thereafter be required to make deposits with Lender for Insurance Premiums as provided herein.

7.2.1 Deposit of Interest Reserve Funds. Simultaneously with the Initial Advance of the Project Loan, Borrower shall deposit the sum of $[__________] with Lender (the “Initial Interest Reserve Deposit”), which shall be funded from the Initial Advance of the Project Loan. In addition, pursuant to Section 5.1.28(d), Borrower may be obligated to deposit an Additional Interest Reserve Deposit and in the event that Lender determines in its sole discretion that the Interest Reserve Funds on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account are insufficient, Borrower shall deposit with Lender an amount equal to the deficiency in the Interest Reserve Funds as determined by Lender (each an “Interest Reserve Deposit”, each such amount so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Interest Reserve Fund”). The account in which the Interest Reserve Fund are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Interest Reserve Account”.

7.2.3 Application of Interest Reserve Funds. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may withdraw all the Interest Reserve Funds and if Lender does so, shall apply the Interest Reserve Funds either to the payment of interest due on the Loan or toward payment of the Total Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply the Interest Reserve Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under the Loan Documents.

Section 7.3 Replacements and Replacement Reserve.

7.3.1 Replacement Reserve Fund. From and after Completion of the Improvements, Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date an amount equal to $1,375.00 (the “Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit”) for replacements and repairs required to be made to the Property (collectively, the “Replacements”). Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Fund” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Account”. Lender may reassess its estimate of the amount necessary for the Replacement Reserve Fund from time to time, and may increase the monthly amounts required to be deposited into the Replacement Reserve Fund upon thirty (30) days notice to Borrower if Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that an increase is necessary to maintain the proper maintenance and operation of the Property.

With each request Borrower shall certify that all Replacements have been made in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Property. 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) hereof, 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 of the subject Replacement satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable judgment.

(d) Borrower shall pay all invoices in connection with the Replacements with respect to which a disbursement is requested 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 Twenty-Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000.00) 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).

(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 Ten Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($10,000.00).

7.3.3 Performance of Replacements

(d) . (a) Borrower shall make Replacements when required in order to keep the Property in condition and repair consistent with other first class, self-storage facilities 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 over Twenty-five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000.00) with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or materials in connection with the Replacements. 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, after notice and a reasonable period to cure, 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, upon reasonable 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 such 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 such 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 Mortgage. For this purpose Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake such 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 such Replacements; (ii) to make such additions, changes and corrections to such Replacements as shall be necessary or desirable to complete such 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 be necessary or desirable for the completion of such 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.

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 Twenty-five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000.00) (or a lesser amount if the total amount in the Required Repair Account is less than Twenty-five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000.00), in which case only one disbursement of the amount remaining in the account shall be made) and such disbursement shall be made only upon satisfaction of each condition contained in this Section 7.4.2.

7.7.3 Application of Operating Reserve Funds. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may withdraw all the Operating Reserve Funds and if Lender does so, shall apply the Operating Reserve Funds toward payment of the Total Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply the Operating Reserve Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under the Loan Documents.

7.7.4 Release of Operating Reserve Funds. Provided that no Event of Default or Monetary Default then exists if Lender determines that the Property has achieved a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of 1.20 to 1.0 for two consecutive Debt Service Coverage Ratio Determination Dates, Lender shall release to Borrower any amount remaining in the Operating Reserve Account.

Section 7.8 Reserve Funds, Generally. Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in each of the Reserve Funds and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each Reserve Fund as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the payment of the Total Debt in any order in its sole discretion. The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. The Reserve Funds shall be held in an Eligible Account in Permitted Investments in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Cash Management Agreement. Interest earned on the Replacement Reserve Funds shall be added to and become a part of such Reserve Fund and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other monies deposited in such Reserve Fund. Any interest on the Cash Collateral Reserve Funds, the Punch List and Deferred Maintenance Reserve Funds, the Operating Reserve Funds, the Interest Reserve Funds and the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds shall not be added to or become a part thereof and shall be the sole property of and shall be paid to Lender. Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to the interest earned on the Reserve Funds credited or paid to Borrower. Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Reserve Fund or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. Lender shall not be liable for any loss sustained on the investment of any funds constituting the Reserve Funds. Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Reserve Funds or the performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds were established. Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all persons or entities supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Reserve Funds; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.

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

(b) With respect to Borrower and the Property, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the Property, or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgage then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.

125

(c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) Business Days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.

The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

ARTICLE IX.

126

(a) provide additional and/or updated Provided Information, together with appropriate verification and/or consents related to the Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of independent attorneys reasonably acceptable to Lender, prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies;

(b) assist in preparing descriptive materials for presentations to any or all of the Rating Agencies, and work with, and if requested, supervise, third-party service providers engaged by Borrower and approved by Lender, Guarantor and their respective affiliates to obtain, collect, and deliver information requested or required by Lender, prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies;

(c) deliver (i) an Additional Insolvency Opinion and an opinion with respect to, due execution and enforceability with respect to the Property, Borrower, Guarantor and their respective Affiliates and the Loan Documents, and such other legal opinions as Lender may request including, without limitation, a so called “10b-5” opinion, and (ii) revised organizational documents for Borrower, which counsel opinions and organizational documents shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender, prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies;

127

9.1.2 Loan Components.

(a) Borrower covenants and agrees that in connection with any Securitization of the Loan, upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall deliver one or more new component notes to replace the original note or modify the original note to reflect multiple components of the Loan (and such new notes or modified note shall initially have the same fully funded weighted average interest rate as the original note, but such new notes or modified note may subsequently change the weighted average spread and apply principal, interest rates and amortization of the Loan between the components in a manner specified by Lender in its sole discretion) and modify the Cash Management Agreement with respect to the newly created components such that the pricing and marketability of the Securities and the size of each class of Securities and the rating assigned to each such class by the Rating Agencies shall provide the most favorable rating levels and achieve the optimum rating levels for the Loan, provided that the same do not materially increase Borrower’s obligations and/or liabilities under the Loan Documents or materially decrease Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents.

(b) Borrower covenants and agrees that Lender may hereafter convert any portion of the Loan to subordinate financing, including one or more tranches of mezzanine debt, preferred equity, subordinate debt or participation in such loan, subordinate to such loan (collectively, “Subordinate Financing”), provided, however, such Subordinate Financing and the Loan following the creation of the Subordinate Financing shall, in the aggregate, initially have the same fully funded weighted average interest rate as the fully funded interest rate of the Loan prior to the creation of such Subordinate Financing, but such Subordinate Financing may subsequently change the weighted average spread and Lender may apply principal, interest rates and amortization of the Loan and the Subordinate Financing in a manner specified by Lender in its sole discretion. If the Subordinate Financing takes the form of a mezzanine loan, a mezzanine borrower (the “Mezzanine Borrower”) may be created which will own one hundred percent (100%) of the equity interests in the Borrower. One hundred percent (100%) of the ownership and economic interests in the Mezzanine Borrower may, at Lender’s discretion, be required to be pledged as security for such tranches of Subordinate Financing, if any. A default with the related Loan shall be a default under the respective Subordinate Financing. Such Subordinate Financing shall be subject to an intercreditor agreement by and between the Lender and the subordinate lender(s).

9.1.3 Costs of Subordinate Financing. Borrower shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any Subordinate Financing, (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) including without limitation (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of any mezzanine loan documents (“Mezzanine Loan Documents”) and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower and Mezzanine Borrower; (ii) Mezzanine Borrower’s and Lender’s ongoing performance under and compliance with the Mezzanine Loan Documents, including confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications of or under any Mezzanine Loan Document and any other documents or matters requested by Lender; (iv) filing and recording of any Mezzanine Loan Documents; (v) title insurance (including any applicable mezzanine endorsements or UCC endorsements or policies), surveys, inspections and appraisals; (vi) the creation, perfection or protection of Lender’s Liens in the collateral securing the Mezzanine Loan Documents (including fees and expenses for title and lien searches, intangibles taxes, personal property taxes, recording taxes, due diligence expenses, travel expenses, accounting firm fees, costs of appraisals, environmental reports and Construction Consultant, surveys and engineering reports); and (vii) fees charged by Rating Agencies in connection with the creation of the Subordinate Financing, or any modification of the Loan or the Subordinate Financing.

128

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 and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities 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) The Indemnifying Persons agree to provide, in connection with the Securitization, an indemnification agreement (A) certifying that (i) the Indemnifying Persons have carefully examined the Disclosure Documents, including without limitation, the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “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 (ii) such sections and such other information in the Disclosure Documents (to the extent such information relates to or includes any Provided Information or any information regarding the Properties, Borrower, Manager and/or the Loan) (collectively with the Provided Information, the “Covered Disclosure Information”) 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) jointly and severally indemnifying Lender, BSCMI (whether or not it is the Lender), any Affiliate of BSCMI that has filed any registration statement relating to the Securitization or has acted as the sponsor or depositor in connection with the Securitization, any Affiliate of BSCMI that acts as an underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser of Securities issued in the Securitization, any other co-underwriters, co-placement agents or co-initial purchasers of Securities issued in the Securitization, and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates and each Person or entity who Controls any such Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”), for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including without limitation legal fees and expenses for enforcement of these obligations (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which any such Indemnified Person 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 the Covered Disclosure Information or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Covered Disclosure Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Disclosure Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (C) agreeing to reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person, as they are incurred, in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have. Moreover, the indemnification and reimbursement obligations provided for in clauses (B) and (C) above shall be effective, valid and binding obligations of the Indemnifying Persons whether or not an indemnification agreement described in clause (A) above is provided.

129

(c) In connection with Exchange Act Filings, the Indemnifying Persons jointly and severally agree to indemnify (i) the Indemnified Persons for Liabilities to which any such Indemnified Person 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 in the Covered Disclosure Information, or the omission or alleged omission to state in the Covered Disclosure Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Disclosure Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (ii) reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Persons, as they are incurred, in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.

(d) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the Indemnified Person shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any Indemnifying Person, notify such Indemnifying Person in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under the indemnification provisions of this Section 9.2 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided further that the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under the provisions of this Section 9.2. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an Indemnified Person, and it shall notify any Indemnifying Person thereof, such Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. After notice from any Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable to the Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof except as provided in the following sentence; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both an Indemnifying Person, on the one hand, and one or more Indemnified Persons on the other hand, and an Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Persons that are different or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person, the Indemnified Person or Persons 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 Person or Persons. The Indemnified Person shall instruct its counsel to maintain reasonably detailed billing records for fees and disbursements for which such Indemnified Person is seeking reimbursement hereunder and shall submit copies of such detailed billing records to substantiate that such counsel’s fees and disbursements are solely related to the defense of a claim for which the Indemnifying Person is required hereunder to indemnify such Indemnified Person. No Indemnifying Person shall be liable for the expenses of more than one (1) such separate counsel unless such Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another Indemnified Person.

130

(e) Without the prior written consent of BSCMI (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no Indemnifying Person shall settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless the Indemnifying Person shall have given BSCMI reasonable prior written notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceedings. As long as an Indemnifying Person has complied with its obligations to defend and indemnify hereunder, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement made by any Indemnified Person without the consent of such Indemnifying Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(f) The Indemnifying Persons agree that if any indemnification or reimbursement sought pursuant to this Section 9.2 is finally judicially determined to be unavailable for any reason or is insufficient to hold any Indemnified Person harmless (with respect only to the Liabilities that are the subject of this Section 9.2), then the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, shall contribute to the Liabilities for which such indemnification or reimbursement is held unavailable or is insufficient: (x) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, from the transactions to which such indemnification or reimbursement relates; or (y) if the allocation provided by clause (x) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (x) but also the relative faults of the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, as well as any other equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.2, (A) no party found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any other party who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (B) the Indemnifying Persons agree that in no event shall the amount to be contributed by the Indemnified Persons collectively pursuant to this paragraph exceed the amount of the fees actually received by the Indemnified Persons in connection with the closing of the Loan.

(g) The Indemnifying Persons agree that the indemnification, contribution and reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section 9.2 shall apply whether or not any Indemnified Person is a formal party to any lawsuits, claims or other proceedings. The Indemnifying Persons further agree that the Indemnified Persons are intended third party beneficiaries under this Section 9.2.

(h) The liabilities and obligations of the Indemnified Persons and the Indemnifying Persons under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.

131

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall have no obligation to act as depositor with respect to the Loan or an issuer or registrant with respect to the Securities issued in any Securitization.

Section 9.3 Exculpation. Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, or in the Property, the Rents, or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, 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, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not 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 the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of the Assignment of Leases; (f) constitute a prohibition against Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against Borrower in order to fully realize the security granted by the Mortgage or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against the Property; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following:

(i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower or Guarantor in connection with the Loan;

(ii) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Borrower;

(iii) the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification provision in the Environmental Indemnity Agreement or in the Mortgage concerning environmental laws, hazardous substances and asbestos and any indemnification of Lender with respect thereto in either document;

(iv) the removal or disposal of any portion of the Property after an Event of Default;

132

(v) the misapplication or conversion by Borrower of (A) any Insurance Proceeds paid by reason of any loss, damage or destruction to the Property, (B) any Awards received in connection with a Condemnation of all or a portion of the Property, (C) any Rents following an Event of Default, or (D) any Rents paid more than one month in advance;

(vii) any security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits collected with respect to the Property which are not delivered to Lender upon a foreclosure of the Property or action in lieu thereof, except to the extent any such security deposits were applied in accordance with the terms and conditions of any of the Leases prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default that gave rise to such foreclosure or action in lieu thereof; or

(viii) the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification provision in the Guaranty of Completion or Guaranty of Recourse Carveouts.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt secured by the Mortgage or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) the Debt shall be fully recourse to Borrower (i) in the event of: (a) Borrower filing a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (b) the filing of an involuntary petition against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, in which Borrower colludes with, or otherwise assists such Person, or solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition against Borrower from any Person; (c) Borrower filing an answer consenting to or otherwise acquiescing in or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it, by any other Person under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (d) Borrower consenting to or acquiescing in or joining in an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for Borrower or any portion of the Property; or (e) Borrower making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admitting, in writing or in any legal proceeding, its insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due; (ii) if the first full monthly payment of interest on the Note is not paid when due; ; (iii) if Borrower fails to maintain its status as a Single Purpose Entity, after the Guaranty Notice (as defined in the Guaranty of Recourse Carveouts) if Borrower fails to permit on-site inspections of the Property, fails to provide financial information, or fails to appoint a new property manager upon the request of Lender as permitted under this Agreement, each as required by, and in accordance with, the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the Mortgage; (iv) if Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any Indebtedness or voluntary Lien encumbering the Property; or (v) if Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any Transfer as required by this Agreement or the Mortgage.

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.

Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Clearing Account or Cash Management Account, as applicable.

138

(a) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.

(b) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation.

Section 10.14 Schedules and Exhibits Incorporated. The Schedules and Exhibits annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.

Section 10.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.

139

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.

Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000

Re: Atlantic Avenue Self Storage,

0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned ("Architect") understands that Bear Xxxxxxx Commercial Mortgage, Inc., a New York corporation ("Lender") has made a loan (the "Loan") to Acadia Atlantic Avenue LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Borrower"), which Loan, among other things, will be used to finance construction and renovation by Borrower of the improvements (the "Improvements") on the land known as Atlantic Avenue Self-Storage, 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx (the "Land") and will be advanced pursuant to that certain Building Loan Agreement (the "Building Loan Agreement"), and that certain Project Loan Agreement, each entered into between Lender and Borrower and each dated as of December 26, 2007. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Building Loan Agreement.

Architect prepared certain Plans and Specifications in connection with the construction and renovation of the Improvements. In addition, Architect has been engaged to act as the architect for the Improvements and such engagement has been confirmed by that certain Professional Services Authorization between Borrower and Architect dated as of March 16 2007 (the "Contract").

In its professional opinion, the Architect states to Lender that (a) upon completion in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, the Improvements shall be available for occupancy in accordance with their contemplated uses, as identified to Architect by Borrower (that is, as a_______________), and will comply with applicable building codes and other governmental rules, laws and regulations relating to their design and engineering, to the extent applicable and in effect as of the date hereof, and a permanent certificate of occupancy for the use of the Improvements for their intended purposes will be able to be issued in due course upon review and inspection of the Improvements by the appropriate departments having jurisdiction over the Improvements, (b) the Land is zoned for use of the Improvements for their intended purposes, and there are sufficient development rights appurtenant to the Land in order to construct the Improvements in accordance with the Plans and Specifications as of right, and (c) all building permits and other approvals listed below (collectively, the "Approvals") required for the construction of the Improvements in accordance with the Plans and Specifications have been obtained and paid for and are in full force and effect (or, with respect to approvals not obtained by the date of this Certificate, are capable of being obtained within time periods consistent with the projected completion dates of the Improvements). Copies of those Approvals that have been obtained as of the date hereof and applications for those Approvals that are pending as of the date hereof are enclosed.

Exhibit F - Page 2

	Issuing Agency	Date Issued
Building Permit

Special Permit

To the best of its professional knowledge, Architect states to Lender that there are no pending amendments or modifications of any laws, ordinances, regulations or permits relating to the Improvements.

To the best of its professional knowledge, Architect states to Lender that the Improvements shown on the Plans and Specifications will comply with applicable requirements of the applicable land use, zoning and building laws and ordinances which are in effect as of the date hereof.

To the best of its professional knowledge, Architect further states to Lender that (a) there will be sufficient access and egress to and from the Land and the Improvements for their use for their intended purposes, and (b) all utilities (including, if applicable, electric, gas, telephone, water and sewer services) necessary to service the Improvements are available to be delivered by the appropriate utility companies directly to the Property.

The Construction Schedule referenced in the Building Loan Agreement, a copy of which is enclosed, establishing a projected timetable for completion of the Improvements, appears realistic and, to the best of its professional experience, Architect believes that such schedule can be adhered to.

Architect understands that as additional security for the Loan, Borrower has assigned their interests under the Contract and in and to the Plans and Specifications to Lender pursuant to that certain Assignment of Agreements, Permits and Contracts made by Borrower to Lender dated as of December 26, 2007, and Architect hereby consents to such assignment. Architect acknowledges that Lender shall not be obligated to perform or discharge, nor has Lender undertaken to perform or discharge, any of the obligations of Borrower under the Contract and that so long as no Event of Default exists under the Building Loan Agreement or the Project Loan Agreement or the Contract, Borrower shall have the right to enjoy and utilize the rights and privileges of the contracting party under the Contract.

Exhibit F - Page 3

Architect agrees that from and alter the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the Building Loan Agreement) by Borrower under any of the Loan Documents, Architect will, at Lender's request, continue performance on Lender's behalf under the Contract for all services rendered or to he rendered for the benefit of Lender, its nominee, wholly owned subsidiary or assign(s), provided that Lender shall pay Architect for all work and services rendered pursuant to the Contract, whether prior to or subsequent to such request, for which Architect has not otherwise received payment. Nevertheless, the time periods set forth in the Contract for the performance by owner of its obligations thereunder shall be deemed extended by the period of time necessary to allow Lender to obtain possession of the Property in the manner Lender decides pursuant to its remedies under the Loan Documents.

Architect hereby further agrees that if, at any time, Lender or its designee shall become the owner of the Property or otherwise requires the use of the Plans and Specifications in connection with the Property, Lender shall have the right to use the Plans and Specifications, together with any and all modifications thereof (including any additions, enlargements or extensions thereof) without any additional cost or expense, provided the scope of the project has not been substantively altered (should substantial changes to the scope or nature of the project be required by Lender, compensation of Architect shall be adjusted by mutual consent), other than payment of any balance and other sums that may be due or owing to Architect by Borrower for the preparation of the Plans and Specifications pursuant and subject to the terms of the Contract.

Architect's statements in this letter have been made to the best of Architect's knowledge and based upon Architect's performance of its service in accordance with the standards of care and skill of Architect's profession in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located for building projects of the scope and quality of the Improvements. This letter is being issued for the benefit of Lender, Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, in connection with the disbursements for the construction of the Improvements as contemplated by the Building Loan Agreement and the Project Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents referenced therein, and any lender refinancing the Loan evidenced by the Loan Documents, and does not alter or increase the term, obligations or liabilities of the undersigned to Borrower or Lender and/or Lenders or their respective successor's and assigns under the Contract. No other party may rely thereon.

Exhibit F - Page 4

The provisions set forth in this letter shall be binding upon Architect and Architect's successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and Lenders and their successors and assigns, but to no other party.

FORM OF INSOLVENCY OPINION - TO BE DELIVERED UPON COMPLETION

December ____, 2007

Bear Xxxxxxx Commercial Mortgage, Inc.

000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx

Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000

Re: $11,229,260.33 Building Loan and $4,920,739.67 Project Loan (collectively the "Loan"), made as of December ___, 2007, by Bear Xxxxxxx Commercial Mortgage, Inc. (the "Lender") to Acadia Atlantic Avenue LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Borrower")

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to the Borrower in connection with the Loan. We understand that the Lender has made the final advances under that certain Building Loan Agreement and the certain Project Loan Agreement, each between the Lender and Borrower, and, in connection therewith, the Guaranty of Completion from Guarantor (as hereinafter defined) in favor of Lender has been discharged (collectively the "Final Advance"). The Borrower has requested that we deliver this opinion letter to you and we understand that the Lender will rely on this opinion in making the Final Advance.

The members of the Borrower are Acadia 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Managing Member"), that owns 66.67% of the membership interests in the Borrower and Xxxxxxx Properties Atlantic LLC, a New York limited liability company ("Xxxxxxx") that owns 33.33% of the membership interests in the Borrower. The sole member of the Managing Member is Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Acadia Strategic").

The Property (as hereinafter defined) will be managed by Post Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Property Manager", and together with Acadia Strategic, sometimes collectively referred to herein as the "Guarantor").

I. OPINION REQUESTED

Bear Xxxxxxx Commercial Mortgage, Inc.

Page 4

In connection with the Final Advance, we have been requested and authorized by Borrower to render an opinion on whether, in the event that any one or more of the Managing Member, Acadia Strategic or Property Manager (each, a "Relevant Entity" and collectively, the "Relevant Entities") were to be a debtor or debtor acting as a debtor-in-possession in a case under 11 U.S.C. Section 101 et seq. (the "Bankruptcy Code"), under present reported decisional authority and statutes applicable to federal bankruptcy cases, in a properly presented and competently argued case, a United States Bankruptcy Court or other United States court exercising jurisdiction of such case under the Bankruptcy Code (a "Bankruptcy Court") would disregard the separate existence of the Borrower and order substantive consolidation under the Bankruptcy Code of the assets and liabilities of Borrower with the assets and liabilities of one or more of such Relevant Entities and treat such assets and liabilities as though Borrower and such Relevant Entity or Relevant Entities were one entity (a "Substantive Consolidation").

II. ASSUMPTIONS

Our opinion herein is expressly predicated on the assumption that a party in interest or Lender or other holder(s) of the Loan would, within any and all applicable time limitations set forth in the Bankruptcy Code, the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, and any applicable local rules, (a) object to any written motion or other formal proceeding in Bankruptcy Court seeking a Substantive Consolidation, and (b) competently brief and argue such objection.

In rendering this opinion, we have reviewed the documents evidencing and relating to the Loan (as listed and identified on Schedule l hereto, the "Loan Documents"), and the Borrower's organizational documents (the "Organizational Documents", as listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto), and certificates or good standing for Borrower. As to matters of fact, we have relied, with your acknowledgement and without any independent confirmation, investigation, or inquiry, upon the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Loan Documents and the Organizational Documents of Borrower in all material respects insofar as they are material to the separateness of the Borrower. As to matters of faet, we also have reviewed, and with your acknowledgement and without any independent confirmation, investigation or inquiry, relied upon the representations made by Borrower and the certifications of the Relevant Entities, in the Certificate annexed hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein (the "Certificate") in all material respects insofar as they are material to the separateness of the Borrower. We have further assumed that such statements, representations and warranties are true and accurate in all respects material to Borrower's separateness, and that such covenants will, to the extent they regard the future, be kept, observed and otherwise performed in all respects material to Borrower's separateness, until the Loan is paid in full and the lien and security interests of the Building Loan Leasehold Mortgage, and the other Loan Documents are discharged. We have no actual knowledge of any facts indicating that any such statements, representations, or warranties are Use or misleading or that our reliance thereon would be unreasonable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Opinion or the Certificate, we have not assumed that the Borrower: (i) will remain solvent, be able to pay its debts as they become due, or be adequately capitalized, (ii) will not become a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise subject to bankruptcy proceedings, or (iii) will make any payment or discharge any obligation to the extent that Borrower does not have access to available funds that enable it to do so.

Additionally, in rendering this opinion, we have assumed, to the extent material to Borrower's separateness, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, and the conforming to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies and the authenticity of the originals thereto. We have assumed, to the extent material to Borrower's separateness, that all parties had the corporate, partnership or limited liability company power and authority, as the case may be, to enter into and perform all obligations under all such documents, and, as to such parties, we also have assumed, to the extent material to Borrower's separateness, the due authorization by all requisite corporate, partnership and limited liability company action, and the due execution and delivery, and validity, binding effect and enforceability of such documents, except as enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) (such limitations, collectively referred to as the "Insolvency Exception"), provided, however, that our recitation of the Insolvency Exception herein is not intended to and does not alter or provide a defense to our opinion set forth in this opinion.

We have also assumed for purposes of this opinion that the facts outlined below, all of which are reflected in written agreements and instruments executed in connection with the transactions described herein, upon which facts we rely, are now and will remain accurate in all material respects insofar as they are material to the separateness of Borrower.

1. The Borrower is a limited liability company organized on December 8, 2006 and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

2. The sole member of the Borrower is the Managing Member.

3. Borrower's Operating Agreement, dated as of December 8, 2006 ("Borrower's LLC Agreement") provides that Borrower's purposes shall be the acquisition, redevelopment, ownership, operation, management, leasing and financing of 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx (the "Property") and to perform such other activities as may be necessary, incidental or appropriate in connection therewith and to engage in any lawful act or activity and to exercise any powers permitted to limited liability companies organized under the laws of the State of Delaware that are related or incidental to and necessary, convenient or advisable for the accomplishment of the above-mentioned purposes.

4. The Loan Documents include certain obligations for which Lender has recourse to Borrower under certain limited circumstances as set forth more particularly therein (the "Recourse Obligations").

5. To the extent material to Borrower's separateness, Borrower will comply with its obligations under the Borrower's LLC Agreement and the Loan Documents which are material for the purposes of this opinion, including without limitation, the requirement that, until the Loan is paid in full, Borrower shall observe the separateness criteria, as contained therein.

Bear Xxxxxxx Commercial Mortgage, Inc.

Page 6

6. To the extent material to Borrower's separateness, the provisions of the Loan Documents which are material for purposes of this opinion, including without limitation the separateness warranties and covenants contained herein, will not be changed from and after the date hereof.

7. Lender has reasonably relied on, among other things, Borrower's separateness from each of the Relevant Entities in making the Final Advance.

8. Lender would suffer prejudice from, or be harmed by, a Substantive Consolidation.

9. Neither Borrower nor any Relevant Entity will engage in any type of fraudulent activity with respect to any matter that is material for purposes of this opinion.

10. Except as set forth in the Loan Documents, none of the Relevant Entities will hold its credit out as available to pay the debts of Borrower or pay the debts of Borrower or commingle its assets with those of the Borrower.

III. LEGAL BACKGROUND

Substantive Consolidation Generally

Substantive consolidation is an equitable doctrine that permits a bankruptcy court, in appropriate circumstances, to disregard the legal separateness of a debtor and a related but distinct legal entity, which may or may not itself be a debtor in bankruptcy, and to merge their respective assets and liabilities for bankruptcy purposes. Substantive consolidation typically results in the pooling of liabilities and assets of the entities to be consolidated, the satisfaction of liabilities from the resultant common fund of assets, and the elimination of all duplicate and inter-entity claims. E.g., Union Sav. Batik v. Augie/Xxxxxxx Baking Co. (In re Augie/Xxxxxxx Baking Co.), 860 F.2d 515, 518 (2nd Cir. 1988) (citing 5 Xxxxxxx on Bankruptcy § 1100.06, at 1100-32 n.l (L. Xxxx xx. 15th ed. 1988)); In re Ltd. Gaining of Ain., Inc., 228 B.R. 275, 286 (Bankr. N.D. Okla. 1998); In re Standard Brands Paint Co., 154 B.R. 563, 569 (Bankr. C.D. Cal. 1993). Substantive consolidation being an equitable remedy, however, its exact consequences vary from case to case. E.g. Xxxxx v. Hong Kong & Shanghai Banking Corp. (In re Deltacoip, Ina), 179 B.R. 773, 777 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1995) (noting that court is afforded great deal of discretion in constructing consolidation order and retains the power to order less than complete consolidation) (citing cases); 2 Xxxxxxx on Bankruptcy P,105.09[2], at 105-88 - 105-89 (15th ed. rev. 2002) (stating that substantive consolidation cases are factually specific and must be decided on a case-by-case basis).

Because the entities sought to be consolidated frequently will have different debt-to-asset ratios, substantive consolidation usually redistributes wealth among the entities' creditors. E.g., Eastgroup Props. v. S. Motel Assn, Ltd., 935 F.2d 245, 248 (11th Cir. 1991) (quoting Drabkin v. Midland-Xxxx Co. (In re Auto-Train Corp.), 000 X.0xx 000, 000 (X.X. Cir. 1987)); In re Ltd. Gaining, 228 B.R. at 286-287. Thus, as courts have emphasized repeatedly, consolidation vitally affects parties' substantive rights and should be used only sparingly after careful scrutiny of the evidence. E.g., FDIC v. Colonial Realty Corp., 966 X.0x 00, 00 (0xx Xxx. 1992) (quoting Chem. Bank N.Y. Trust Co. x. Xxxxx, 369 F.2d 845, 847 (2nd Cir. 1966)); In re Ltd. Gaming, 228 B.R. at 287. Some court decisions, however, have noted a "modern" or "liberal" trend toward allowing substantive consolidation. E.g. Eustgroup, 935 F.2d at 248-49 &.n.10 (citing cases); In re Walnut Equip. Leasing to., Inc., No. 97-19699-DWS, 1999 W1. 288651, at *3 n.9 (Bankr. E.D. Pa. May 4, 1999); In re Bonham, 226 X.X. 00, 00 (Xxxxx. X. Xxxxxx 0000), zd `d, 229 F.3d 750 (9th Cir. 2000).

Bear Xxxxxxx Commercial Mortgage, Inc.

Page 7

Substantive consolidation is analogous to the non-bankruptcy-law remedy of "piercing the corporate veil," which permits a plaintiff to disregard the corporate entity when necessary to prevent fraud or to enforce a paramount equity. In fact, early cases applied a test for substantive consolidation that was virtually identical to the test for piercing the corporate veil. In re Standard Brands, 154 B.R. at 567 (citing cases). Substantive consolidation was accomplished in early cases by finding that the entity with which consolidation was sought was the "alter-ego" or an "instrumentality" of the debtor which was used by the debtor to hinder, delay or otherwise defraud creditors. E.g., Mantle Indus., Inc. x. Xxxxxxx, 232 F.2d 294, 297 (5th Cir. 1956) (citing Fish v. East, 114 F.2d 177, 191 (10th Cir. 1940)).

Although in early substantive consolidation cases courts looked to state corporate veil-piercing law for guidance, modern courts have increasingly looked to a growing body of federal common-law opinions decided under federal bankruptcy law. E.g., Eastgroup; In re Augie/Xxxxxxx Baking Co. Ltd., supra; In re Auto-Train, supra; In re Cont 7 Vending Machine Corp., 517 F.2d 997 (2nd Cir. 1975); In re Xxxxx Xxx Candy Corp., 432 F.2nd 1060 (2nd Cir. 1970); Kheel, supra; Xxxxxxx x. Xxxxxxxx Nat '1 Bank, 328 F.2d 446 (2nd Cir. 1964); Stone x. Xxxxx (In re Tip Top Tailors, Inc.), 127 F.2d 284 (4th Cir.), cert. denied, 000 X.X. 000 (1942). But see In re Al/co Mining, Inc., 278 B.R. 586 (Bankr. M.D. Fla. 2002) (basing. substantive consolidation on alter-ego theory); In re Xxxxx Pipe & Supply Co., Inc., 130 B.R. 588 (Bankr. F.D. Okla. 1991) (same). Consequently, federal courts rely almost uniformly on the federal common law instead of on state corporate law in deciding whether or not to substantively consolidate.

Substantive consolidation sounds in equity, and its general purpose is to ensure the equitable treatment of all creditors, not just a particular plaintiff. Colonial Realty, 966 F.2d at 61; In re Augie/Xxxxxxx, 860 F.2d at 518; In re Xxxxxx, 147 B.R. 678, 684 (Bankr. D.N.J. 1992); (hut see discussion infra. at note 2). As a result, substantive consolidation does not require a finding of fraud or an intent to hinder or delay creditors, but a finding that consolidation would be more equitable to all parties under the circumstances. In the Matter of Xxxxxxx, Inc., 115 B.R. 390, 394 (Bankr. N.D. Ga. 1990); see In re Xxxxxxx, 59 B.R. 973, 975-76 (N.D. Okla. 1986). While later cases have relaxed the requirement of fraud in favor, of other factors warranting substantive consolidation, courts will still xxxxxx the corporate veil to effect a substantive consolidation if fraud or similar activity is present. E.g., Xxxxx Xxxxxxx (Singapore) Pte., Ltd. v. Diners Club hit 'I. Inc., 2 X.0x 00, 00 (0xx Xxx. 1993) (noting that exceptions to corporate separateness are made "to prevent fraud or other wrong, or where a parent dominates and controls a subsidiary"); In re Daily, 107 B.R. 996 (Bankr. D. Haw. 1989), rev 'd on other grounds, 940 F.2d 1306 (9th Cir. 1991); In re Stop & Go of Am., Inc., 49 B.R. 743 (Bankr. D. Mass. 1985); Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx & Co. x. Xxxxxxxxxx (In re Xxxxxxx), 45 B.R. 658, 662-63 (Bankr. N.D. Okla. 1985), aff'd, 59 B.R. 973 (N.D. Okla. 1986). In sum, however, substantive consolidation is different from piercing the corporate veil. E.g., Colonial Realty, 966 F.2d at 61; In re Xxxxxx, 000 X,X. at 76-77; Helena Chem. Co. v. Circle Land & Cattle Corp. (In re Circle Land & Cattle Cotp.), 213 B.R. 870, 874-875 (Bankr. D. Kan. 1997).

While the issue of substantive consolidation typically arises in the context of an affiliated group of corporations, one or more of which is in bankruptcy, the doctrine is equally applicable in cases involving non-corporate entities, such as partnerships and their individual partners. See, e.g., Colonial Realty, 000 X.0x xx 00-00 (xxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx of general partnership and two of its general partners) (citing cases); Eastgroup, 935 F.2d at 252 (consolidating limited partnership with related management corporation); In re Ltd. Gaming, 228 B.R. at 287-88 (confirming liquidating plan which consolidated estates of limited partnership and its corporate partner); In re Xxxxxxx Family Ltd. P 'ship, 182 B.R. 447, 471 (Bankr. E.D. Va. 1995) (consolidating estates of limited partnership and individual general partner); Sender x. Xxxxxxxx (In re Hedged-Xxxx. Assocs., Inc.), 163 B.R. 841, 844, 849-50 (Bankr. D. Colo. 1994) (finding "no logical reason" why estate of corporate entity, the general partner of at least two of three related limited partnerships, could not be substantively consolidated with the consolidated partnership estates), aff'd, 84 F.3d 1286 (10th Cir. 1996); Xxxx x. Xxxxxx Pac. Constr., Inc. (In re Parkway Calabasas Ltd.), 89 B.R. 832, 534-35 (Bankr. C.D. Cal. 1988) (consolidating estates of four limited partnerships and one of their principals), aff'd, 94.9 F.2d 1058 (9th Cir. 1991).1

Court's Authority To Grant Substantive Consolidation

The authority of a bankruptcy court to substantively consolidate two or more bankruptcy debtors is well-established. That authority stems both from Section 105 of the Bankruptcy Code, which expressly empowers bankruptcy courts to issue any order necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, and more generally from the bankruptcy court's being a so-called "court of equity." Colonial Realty, 966 F.2d at 60 (citing Pepper x. Xxxxxx, 000 X.X. 000, 304 (1939)); In re Bonham, 226 B.R. at 75; In re Standard Brands, 154 B.R. at 567 (citing cases).

Most courts have held that bankruptcy courts also have the power under Section 105 of the Bankruptcy Code to consolidate a bankruptcy debtor with an entity not in bankruptcy. See, e.g., In re Bonham, 226 B.R. at 75 ("[tIn what appears to be a slight majority of the cases

1 A few reported opinions involve substantive consolidation in which at least one oldie legal entities was a statutory limited liability company See eg., In re American Ilunicpalienl, Inc., 298 B.R. 152, 155 & ml, 156 (Bankr. M.D. Tenn. 2003) (substantive consolidation was appropriate tier a number of corporations and three limited liability companies involved in home health care scnvices) In re Erhrrn is Theatres Circuit, Inc., 281 X.X. 000, 000 & x.x , 000 (Xxxxx.

"Based on the developtoent of die vase law with respect to both corporations and partnerships, however, there does nut appear to be any reason why materially different standards or principles should apply to an analysis of these [substantive consolidation] issues as they relate to a limited liability company." 2 Xxxxxxx on Bankruptcy P.105.09[1l[c], at 105.87 (15th ed. rev., Release 67.

which have decided the issue, courts have held that the estate of a non-debtor can be consolidated into that of a debtor under the appropriate circumstances."); White v. Creditors Serv. Corp. (In re Creditors Serv. Corp.), 195 B.R. 680, 689 (Bankr. S.D. Ohio 1996); Xxxxx x. New Ctr. Hasp. (Matter of New Or. Hasp.), 187 B.R 560, 566-67 (E.D. Mich. 1995); Brucaglia x.

S.D.N.Y. 1994) ("[Ijt is not a requirement that all the entities be debtors."); Xxxxxxx, 115 B.R. at 396-97 (citing Xxxxxxxx v. Imperial Paper & Color Corp., 000 X.X. 000 (1941)). But see In re Circle Land & Cattle Corp., 213 Q.R. at 877 (reasoning that because bankruptcy court lacks subject-matter jurisdiction over non-debtor, it cannot consolidate debtor with non-debtor); In re Colfor, Inc., No. 96-60306, 1997 WL 605100, at *2 (Bankr. N.D. Ohio Sept. 4, 1997); In re Julien Co., 120 B.R. 930, 934 (Bankr. W.D. Team. 1990) (questioning bankruptcy court's power under Section 105 to consolidate a non-debtor); In re Alpha & Omega Realty, Inc., 36 B.R. 416, 417 (Bankr. D. Idaho 1984) (concluding that non-debtor status of entity precluded consolidation). In this connection, some courts have argued that the consolidation of a debtor with a non-debtor essentially circumvents the requirements in Section 303 of the Bankruptcy Code for filing an involuntary bankruptcy petition against the non-debtor. See In re Circle Land & Cattle Corp., 213 B.R. at 876-77; Xxxxx Operations, Inc. x. Xxxxxx Le-Coca, Inc. (In re Lease-A-Fleet, Inc.), 141 B.R. 869, 875 (Bankr. E.D. Pa. 1992); Xxxxxxx v. Haverstraw Assocs. (In re R.H.N. Realty Corp.), 84 B.R. 356, 358 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1988). Other courts, however, have rejected this argument. E.g., In re Alico Mining, Inc., 278 B.R. at 588, 589 (rejecting involuntary-bankruptcy limitation, but requiring party seeking substantive consolidation of debtor with non-debtor to establish debtor nothing more than alter ego of non-debtor); Matter of Xxxxxxx, 115 B.R. at 397-398.

Standards for Substantive Consolidation

The standards for substantive consolidation have evolved exclusively through case law, not by statute. Although Sections 302 and 1123(a)(5)(C) of the Bankruptcy Code refer to "consolidation," they do not articulate a legal standard for substantive consolidation.2 Additionally, Rule 1015(b) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure expressly permits the "joint administration" of separate debtors' estates, but the Official Advisory Committee Note to Rule 1015(b) makes it clear that Rule 1015(b) has nothing to do with substantive consolidation, In re Bonham, 226 B.R. at 76.

In determining whether substantive consolidation is appropriate, courts have assayed a multitude of factors in lieu of applying a rigid, bright-line test. These factors are as follows:

(a) Common Ownership or Control.

Common ownership or control of the debtor and the entities sought to be consolidated increases the likelihood of consolidation, but will not by itself result in consolidation. E.g.,

2 Though a provision for merger or consolidation of the debtor with one or nmre persons may he a permissible means for the mandatory adequate implementation of a chapter 11 plan. 11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(5)(C), the there inclusion of a substantive-consolidation provision in a chapter 11 plan does not automatically mean that such a provision will be or can be automatically confirmed over proper objection. See In rep Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx, hie., 286 X.X. 000, 000, 000 x.0, 000 (Xxxxx. D. Del. 2002) (reserving examination of facts of chapter 11 case bearing upon numerous suhstantive-consolidation factors and concomitant determination whether substantive consolidation warranted).

Bear Xxxxxxx Commercial Mortgage, Inc.

Page 11

(b) Identical or Overlapping Officers or Directors.

When the debtor and the entities sought to be consolidated have identical or overlapping officers or directors, this increases the likelihood of consolidation, but is not controlling. See, e.g., In re Ltd. Gaming, 228 B.R. at 288; In re Lease-A-Fleet, 141 B.R. at 871, 877; In re Thickhead Am. Corp., No. 91-978, 1992 Bankr. LEXIS 2506 (Bankr. D. Del. Aug. 13, 1992); In re Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Group Inc., 138 B.R. 723, 766 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1992).

When the debtor and its affiliates file consolidated tax returns, or report their assets and liabilities on a consolidated basis in financial statements or Securities and Exchange Commission documents, consolidation becomes more likely. See, e.g., In re Richton Int'l, Corp., 12 B.R. 555 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1981); In re Food Fair, Inc., 10 B.R. 123 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1981); Sow-ern, 328 F.2d 446; compare Saccurato v. Shawmut Bank N.A. (In re Mars Stores, Inc.), 150 B.R. 869, 880 (Bankr. D. Mass. 1993) (consolidated financials in 10-Q weighed in favor of consolidation), with In re Auto-Train, 810 F.2d at 278 (S-1 registration statement supported creditor's claim of reliance on separate credit of entity sought to be consolidated).

The presentation of consolidated financial statements and tax returns to the public and creditors can factor significantly into a court's decision to consolidate. See In re Xxxxxx Indus., Inc., 119 B.R. 820 (Bankr. M.D. Fla. 1990); In re Richton Int'l, Corp., 12 B.R. at 557. Consolidated tax returns and financial statements can form a basis from which a cote can decide that the practical impossibility of reconstructing a debtor's financial records makes substantive consolidation necessary. See In re Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Group, Inc., 138 B.R. 723. Still, a court may not consolidate a debtor with its related entities if the existence of consolidated financial statements or tax returns does not raise a substantial difficulty or expense in separating the finances of the entities. In re World Access, Inc., 301 B.R. 217 (Bankr. N.D. Ill. 2003); In re Xxxxxx Bros., Inc., 18 B.R. 230, 239 (Bankr. D. Mass. 1982) (consolidation not warranted because debtor kept separate books and the allegation that it would take considerable time and expense to verify accounting entries was not sufficient). Moreover, entities not employing consolidated records may still be substantively consolidated when their affairs are greatly entangled in a functional sense. In re Standard Brands Paint Co., 154 B.R. at 572-73.

(d) Inter-Affiliate Debts or Guarantees.

The presence of numerous inter-affiliate debts or guarantees among the affiliates sought to be consolidated typically weighs strongly in favor of consolidation, particularly ifsuch debts or guarantees are very extensive so that untangling would be difficult or costly. See In re GC Cos., 274 B.R. 663, 673 (Bankr. D. Del. 2002) (significant loans of parent guaranteed by subsidiaries reinforced necessity for substantive consolidation), rev 'd in part on other grounds, 298 B.R. 226 (D. Del. 2003); Xxx re Standard Brands Paint Co., 154 B.R. at 572 (multiple interdebtor guarantees and interdebtor debts pointed towards substantive consolidation even though the debtors were not "entangled in a records sense"); In re Drexel Burrrharn Xxxxxxx Group, Inc., 138 B.R. at 766 (numerous and well known intercompany guarantees a factor in allowing substantive consolidation of debtor and subsidiaries); In re Food Fair, 10 B.R. at 126 (extensive cross corporate guarantees factor in the interrelationship of the companies and in approving substantive consolidation); In re Richton Irnt'I Co., 12 B.R. at 558 (same); In re Vecco Xxxxxx. Xxxxx., Xxx., 0 X.X. 000, 000 (Xxxx. E.D. Va. 1980) (existence of inter-company guarantee on major secured obligation added support to substantive consolidation).

Bear Xxxxxxx Commercial Mortgage, Inc.

Page 12

However, courts have found that the presence of inter-affiliate guarantees and loans does not demand the imposition of substantive consolidation without the existence of other factors such as commingling of assets and one set of records. In re World Access, Inc., 301 B.R. 217 (intercotporate guarantees were one of several factors that had relevance to the propriety of consolidation, but other, more important factors such as commingling of assets and poor record keeping, had not been established to justify consolidation); In re Donut Queen, Ltd., 41 B.R. 706, 711-12 (Bankr. E.D.N.Y. 1984) (guarantees were not of such a character as to mandate consolidation because they related to one specific transaction and did not evidence a great commonality of business purpose); In re Xxxxxx Bros., inc., 18 B.R. at 239 (consolidation not warranted despite the frequency of intercorporate transactions, loans, direct sales and guarantees because debtor kept separate books and the allegation that it would take considerable time and expense to verify accounting entries was not sufficient).

(e) Undercapitalization.

When the affiliates sought to be consolidated are grossly undercapitalized for their business undertakings, the likelihood of consolidation increases. See, e.g., In re 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, X. X , Xxx., 15 B.R. 89, 96 (Bankr. D.D.C. 1981).

(i) Commingling of Assets or Business Functions.

The debtor's commingling of assets or business functions with its affiliates weighs in favor of consolidation, but generally is not dispositive unless the commingling is so extensive as to make the separation of the entities' assets impossible or not cost-effective. See, e.g., Xxxxxxx x. Xxxxxxxx Nat'l Bank, 328 F.2d at 448. Consolidation may also he appropriate where the debtor and its affiliates are merely functionally integrated, if other factors favoring consolidation are present. E.g., In re Standard Brands, 154 B.R. at 572.

(g) Failure To Maintain Corporate and Other Formalities.

The failure of the debtor to maintain corporate formalities, particularly in dealings with its affiliates, weighs in favor of substantive consolidation; but without more, this will not warrant consolidation except in the most egregious cases. See, e.g., In re Xxxxxx Bros., 18 B.R. at 234; In re Buckhead Am. Corp., supra; see also Xxxxxxx, 368 F.2d at 448 (featuring flagrant disregard of corporate forms); In re Xxxxxxx, 45 B.R. at 660-61 (featuring egregious disregard of corporate formalities).

(h) Fraudulent or Preferential Transfers.

When significant fraudulent or preferential transfers exist between the debtor and the entity sought to be consolidated, courts sometimes will grant consolidation to obviate the cost of avoiding or recovering such transfers. See, e.g., In re Xxxxxxx, 59 B.R, at 977; In re Standard Brands, 154 B.R. at 571. Other courts, however, have held that the traditional statutory methods for avoiding and recovering such transfers expressly provided in the Bankruptcy Code are always preferable to the more radical remedy of substantive consolidation. See, e.g., hi re Lease-A-Fleet, 141 B.R. at 875-76.

Bear Xxxxxxx Commercial Mortgage, Inc.

Page 13

(i) Fraudulent or Inequitable Use of an Affiliate.

When the debtor uses an affiliate to hide or perpetrate fraud, to hinder creditors, or otherwise to advance an inequitable result, consolidation is likely. See, e.g., Xxxxxxxx, 313 U.S. at 216-17; Manle Indus., 232 F.2d at 297; In re Xxxxxxx, 45 B.R. at 663.

(j) Economic Benefits of Consolidation.

A factor frequently considered by courts is the potential profitability of consolidating the debtor and its related entities. See, e.g., In re Vecco Constr. htdus., Inc., 4 B.R. at 410. Consolidation has been granted where it improved the debtor's chances for a successful financial reorganization. See, e.g., In re Xxxx Coip., 129 B.R. at 414-15 (citing In re X.X. Xxxxx & Co., Inc., 23 B.R. 569, 572 (Bankr. E.D. Pa. 1982)).

(k) Degree of Difficulty in Segregating Assets and Liabilities.

An extremely probative and sometimes decisive factor in consolidation decisions is the degree of difficulty in segregating the various entities' respective assets and liabilities. Consolidation probably will be granted if the entities' assets and liabilities are so entangled that their segregation is impossible or can only be achieved at great expense. See, e.g., In re Augie/Xxxxxxx, 860 F.2d at 519; In re Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, 138 B.R. at 766. But see In re DRW Prop., 54 B.R. at 496-497 (refusing to grant consolidation even though it would cost over $2 million to disentangle the various entities).

(1) Reliance on Separate Credit of Entities To Be Consolidated.

In honoring settled commercial expectations, courts frequently eschew consolidation where objecting creditors have reasonably relied on the separate credit of one of the entities sought to be consolidated. See, e.g., In re Augie/Xxxxxxx, 860 F.2d at 515; In re Auto-Train, 810 F.2d at 277-78. A creditor may be estopped from asserting such reliance, however, where the creditor knew or should have known of the close association of the debtor and the entities sought to be consolidated. Eustgroup, 935 F.2d at 249 n.l I (citing In re Xxxxxx Bros., 18 B.R. at 235, 237, 233). Alternatively, if creditors have dealt with the debtor and its related entities as a single integrated entity, that fact weighs in favor of consolidation but is not controlling. Compare In re Xxxxxx Xxx Cos., Inc., 207 B.R. 764, 780 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1997) (granting consolidation), and In re Munjbrd, 115 B.R. at 395-96 (granting consolidation), with In re Crown Mach. & Welding, Inc., 100 B.R. 25, 28 (Bankr. D. Mont. 1989) (refusing to consolidate even though creditors believed they were dealing with one entity).

(m) Prejudice or Benefit to Creditors.

Bear Xxxxxxx Commercial Mortgage, Inc.

Page 14

Inequitable prejudice to creditors generally precludes consolidation. See, e.g., In re Augie/Xxxxxxx, 860 F.2d at 517-19 (refusing to consolidate where secured lender's unsecured deficiency claim would have been subordinated as a result). However, that some creditors will be adversely affected by consolidation is not controlling. In re Xxxxxx Indus., Inc., 119 S.R. at 828. See In re Xxxxx Corning, 419 F. 3d 195 at 214 (3d Cir. 2005) (noting that "mere benefit to some creditors...falls far short" of justifying consolidation.) Thus, if consolidation would directly benefit certain creditors, it may be granted over the objections of other creditors. E.g., Eastgroup, 935 F.2d at 251 (permitting consolidation in part because it would increase the pro rata distribution to priority creditors).

(n) Individual or Non-Debtor Status of Entities To Be Consolidated.

A number of courts have expressed reluctance to consolidate a debtor with individuals or with entities that are not themselves bankruptcy debtors. Accordingly, in such cases a higher standard for consolidation may be imposed. See, e.g., In re Lease-A-Fleet, 141 B.R. at 874, 875-76 (noting that consolidation of a non-debtor "should be reserved for unusual circumstances"); In re Julien Co., 120 B.R. at 935 (noting that the bankruptcy trustee's attempt to consolidate assets of individual contemplated a "broader and more invasive result").

Methodologies for Applying Substantive Consolidation Factors

As the overriding concern guiding the application of the above factors is the equitable treatment of creditors, the central inquiry in evaluating a motion for substantive consolidation is whether the economic prejudice resulting from continued recognition of the entities' separateness outweighs the economic prejudice that would be caused by the entities' consolidation. E.g., Eastgroup, 935 F.2d at 249 (quoting In re Xxxxxx Bros., 18 B.R. at 234). Nevertheless, the federal courts have implemented different approaches for assaying the numerous factors discussed above. While our opinion is not limited to the application of any specific methodology, three basic methodologies have emerged. See generally In re Bonham, 226 B.R. at 81-83. They are as follows:

(a) First Methodology.

The first methodology relies on the factors listed above, or some subset thereof', as a means for measuring the equities, benefits, and detriments of consolidation. See, e.g., In re Creditors Sere., 195 B.R. at 690 ("The factors merely provide the framework to assist the Court's inquiry whether harm will result in the absence of consolidation."); In re IJecco Constr., 4 B.R. at 410. According to this view, no one factor is decisive, and not all of the factors favoring consolidation need be present in order for consolidation to be justified. Eg., In re Xxxx Corp., 129 B.R. at 415. In situations where some factors favoring consolidation are present to a significant degree, but other critical factors are absent or are in conflict, a court nonetheless may conclude that substantive consolidation is sufficiently beneficial to be appropriate. Ibid. Courts following this approach, however, generally place the burden on the proponent of consolidation of proving that the benefits from consolidation outweigh any resulting prejudice. E.g., In re Crown Mach., 100 S.R. at 27 (citing Matter of Steuiy, 94 B.R. 553, 554 (Bankr. N.D. Ind. 1988)); In re Xxxxxx Bros., 18 B.R. at 238.

Page 15

(b) Second Methodology.

The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has articulated a similar, but not identical, methodology that has gained acceptance in a number of courts. This standard treats the relevant factors outlined above as mere variants of two critical criteria: (i) whether creditors dealt with the entities sought to be consolidated as a single economic unit and did not rely on their separate identity in extending credit, and (ii) whether the affairs of the entities sought to be consolidated are so entangled that consolidation will benefit all creditors because segregating the entities' respective affairs is impossible or so costly as to threaten the realization of any net assets for creditors. In re Augie/Xxxxxxx, 860 F.2d at 518-19; see also Colonial Realty, 966 F.2d at 61 (affirming the Augie/Xxxxxxx standard). If the proponent of consolidation establishes that either of these criteria is satisfied, consolidation may be granted. In re Standard Brands, 154 B.R. at 569. See also In re Bonham, 226 B.R. at 97. More recently, in In re Xxxxx Corning, 419 F.3d 195 (3d Cir. 2005), the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit articulated the following five principles in determining whether to order consolidation:

(I) Limiting the cross-creep of liability by respecting entity separateness is a `fundamental ground [ ].' As a result, the general expectation of state law and of the Bankruptcy Code, and thus of commercial markets, is that courts respect entity separateness absent compelling circumstances calling equity (and even then only possibly substantive consolidation) into play.

(2) The xxxxx substanstive consolidation addresses are nearly always those caused by debtors (and entities they control) who disregard separateness. Xxxxx caused by creditors typically are remedied by provisions found in the Bankruptcy Code (e.g., fraudulent transfers 548 and 544(b)(1), and equitable subordination, § 510(c)).

(3) Mere benefit to the administration of the case (for example, allowing a court to simplify a case by avoiding other issues or to make postpetition accounting more convenient) is hardly a harm calling substantive consolidation into play.

(4) Indeed, because substanitve consolidation is extreme (it may affect profoundly creditors' rights and recoveries) and imprecise, this 'rough justice' remedy should be rare and, in any event, one of the last resort after considering and rejecting other remedies (for example, the possibility of more precise remedies conferred by the Bankruptcy Code).

(5) While substantive consolidation may be used defensively to remedy the identifiable xxxxx caused by entangled affairs, it may not be used offensively (for example, having a primary purpose to disadvantage tatically a group of creditors in the plan or to alter creditor rights).

The third methodology has been adopted in the Eleventh Circuit, the District of Columbia Circuit and Third Circuit and may constitute the prevailing standard for substantive consolidation in many jurisdictions. This standard allows the proponent of consolidation to establish a prima facie case for consolidation by demonstrating (i) a substantial identity between the entities sought to he consolidated, and (ii) that consolidation is necessary to avoid some harm or to realize some benefit. The proponent of consolidation may rely upon the usual factors relied on in substantive consolidation cases, or some subset thereof, to prove either or both elements of the prima facie case. Upon establishing a prima facie case, the burden shifts to objecting creditors to prove that they reasonably relied on the separate credit of one of the entities sought to be consolidated in extending credit and that they would be prejudiced by consolidation. If a creditor proves reasonable reliance and prejudice, consolidation may be granted only if its benefits "heavily outweigh" its detriments. If such a creditor fails to prove either reasonable reliance or prejudice, however, consolidation may be granted regardless of whether the benefits of consolidation "heavily outweigh" its detriments. E.g., In re New Ctr. Hasp., 187 B.R. at 569 ("Since reliance and prejudice have not been shown, the Court need not reach the issue of whether the benefits of consolidation `heavily' outweigh the harm."). See also Eastgroup, 935 F.2d at 249; In re Auto Train, 810 F.2d at 276; In re Ltd Gaming, 228 B.R. at 287; In re Standard Brands, 154 B.R. at 568-69; In re Xxxxxxxx, 26 B.R. 246, 251-252 (Bankr. S.D. Iowa 1982).

Because the disregard of separate corporate existences is not generally favored, there is a presumption against substantive consolidation, and the party seeking it has the burden of establishing the necessity for it. E.g., In re Auto-Train, 810 F.2d at 276. Courts have generally treated substantive consolidation as the exception rather than the rule because of the "possibility of unfair treatment of creditors who have dealt solely with the corporation having a surplus as opposed to those who have dealt with the related entities with deficiencies." In re Con''1 Vending Mach. Corp., 517 F.2d at 1001; see also Kheel, 369 F.2d at 847 (it should be the "rare case" where substantive consolidation is granted); In re DRW Prop., 54 B.R. at 494 (courts should grant substantive consolidation sparingly because of the possibility of unfair treatment of some creditors). Thus, although "the term [consolidation] has a disarmingly innocent sound, ... [it] is no mere instrument of procedural convenience ... but a measure vitally affecting substantive rights" in equity. In re Xxxxx Xxx Candy Corp., 432 F.2d at 1062. Furthermore, because the rules for substantive consolidation are not statutorily provided, courts must examine the facts and circumstances of each ease to determine if such an order is warranted.

The factors weighed by the federal courts in determining whether substantive consolidation is appropriate fall within two general categories. First, courts have evaluated the internal relationships of the affiliated entities to determine whether "there is substantial identity between the entities to be consolidated." Eastgroup, 935 F.2d at 249. Second, courts have evaluated whether "consolidation is necessary to avoid some harm or to realize some benefit" with respect to the creditors of the entities to be consolidated. Id. This second factor relates to whether "creditors dealt with the entities as a single economic unit and did not rely on their separate identity in extending credit." hr re Augie/Xxxxxxx, 860 F.2d at 518.

Substantive Consolidation as Applied Substantial Identity.

In analyzing the pre-bankruptcy interrelationship between the parties with an eye toward their potential substantial identity, many federal courts have articulated an objective list of factors to be applied in substantive consolidation eases. For example, the court in In re Vecco Construction set forth seven factors for determining whether substantive consolidation is appropriate:

1. The commingling of assets and business functions.

The degree of difficulty in segregating and ascertaining individual assets and liabilities.

3. The existence of parent and intercorporate guarantees on loans.

4. The transfer of assets without observance of corporate formalities.

5. The presence or absence of consolidated financial statements.

The unity of interests and ownership between the various corporate entities.

7. The profitability of consolidation at a single physical location.

In re Vecco Xxxxxx., 0 B.R. at 410. Accord In re Xxxxxx Indus., Inc., 119 B.R. at 830; In re Mortgage Irrv. Co., 1 l 1 B.R. 604, 610 (Bankr. W.D. Tex. 1990). See also Fish, 114 F.2d at 191 (setting forth a list of ten substantially similar factors). It must be stressed, however, that the factors set forth in In re Vecco Construction, along with additional factors formulated in other cases, are merely "examples of information that may be useful to courts charged with deciding whether there is a substantial identity between the entities to he consolidated and whether consolidation is necessary to avoid some harm or to realize some benefit." Eastgroup, 935 F.2d at 250. Therefore, although a proponent of consolidation may want to frame his argument using the seven factors outlined in In re Vecco Construction, the existence or absence of any number of those factors is not necessarily determinative. Eastgroup, 935 F.2d at 249.

Benefit or harm to creditors.

In considering whether or not to impose substantive consolidation, courts have also weighed the potential harm or benefit to creditors. The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has stated that the "sole purpose of substantive consolidation is to ensure the equitable treatment of all creditors," In re Augie/Xxxxxxx, 860 F.2d at 518, and that the Vecco Construction factors are "merely variants on two critical factors: (i) whether creditors dealt with the entities as a single economic unit and `did not rely on their separate identity in extending credit,' . . . or (ii) whether the affairs of the debtors are so entangled that consolidation will benefit all creditors." In re Augie/Xxxxxxx, 860 F.2d at 518. Where creditors rely on the separate existence of corporate entities in extending credit, or would suffer more than minimal harm from disregarding such separate existence, the balance of equities weighs against substantive consolidation. In re Donut Queen, 41 B.R. at 710, The United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, like the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, has stressed creditor reliance and prejudice as the key factors in any consolidation analysis: if a party opposing substantive consolidation establishes that "(1) it has relied on the separate credit of one of the entities to be consolidated; and (2) it will be prejudiced by substantive consolidation," then substantive consolidation may be ordered only if the "demonstrated benefits of consolidation `heavily' outweigh the harm." Eastgroup, 935 F.2d at 249 (citing In re Auto-Train, 810 F.2d at 276). Courts have relied upon the existence of such prejudice as grounds for denying substantive consolidation. In re Ai.1gie/Xxxxxxx, 860 F.2d 515; In re Auto-Train, 810 F.2d at 277-78; In re Xxxxx Xxx Candy, 432 F.2d at 1062-63; Anaconda Bldg. Materials Co. x. Xxxxxxx, 336 X.0x 000, 000 (0xx Xxx. 0000).0

Some courts have considered whether substantive consolidation increases the likelihood of the debtor's rehabilitation and reorganization. Factors considered include the potential savings in cost and time, the elimination of duplicate claims, and whether there is a question who among potentially consolidated parties is liable. Cont 'I Vending, 517 F.2d at 1001.4 Eliminating the need to disentangle assets, however, does not, without more, justify consolidation. "[S]ubstantive consolidation should be used only after it has been determined that all creditors will benefit because untangling is either impossible or so costly as to consume the assets." In re Augie/Xxxxxxx, 860 F.2d at 519.

IV. ANALYSIS

Based on the representations, warranties, assumptions, and covenants relied upon for purposes of this opinion as specified in Section II above, the accuracy in all respects material to Borrower's separateness of such representations and warranties and the compliance in all respects material to Borrower's separateness, with such covenants we have assumed for purposes of this opinion, we believe it would be difficult for a creditor or other party in interest (a) to establish a prima facie case for Substantive Consolidation, (b) to prove that Borrower is so entangled with any Relevant Entity as to cause any difficulty in segregating their respective assets and liabilities, or (c) to establish that any of such parties has been organized or used for any illicit or illegal purpose, or for the purpose of working any injustice upon their creditors.

More specifically, none of the seven factors recited in In re Vecco Construction, 4 B.R. at 410, would militate in favor of substantial identity behveen the Borrower and any Relevant Entity,

Conversely, courts have also rioted the absence of objecting parties as a factor favoring consolidation. Standard Brands, 154 B.R at 571-572 (inferring lack of harm to creditors from lack of objection to consolidation); In re Buckhead Am.Corp., Xx. 00-000, 0000 Xxxxx. LliXIS 2506 (order granting substantive consolidation of a special-purpose subsidiary with its parent after all objections from the subsidiary's creditors had been resolved through settlement): In re Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, 138 B.R. at 766 (citing lack of objections from creditors in approving a plan of reorganization premised on substantive consolidation); In re Frontier Airlines, inc.. 9)3 B.R. at 1016 (granting substantive consolidation where "complete financial separation of the entities would he difficult to accomplish" and Into party in interest" had objected). Accordingly, we express no opinion as to whether a bankruptcy court would order substantive consolidation should none of the parties to these transactions object to consolidation.

4 See also In re Drexel Ilarnhanr Xxxxxxx, 138 B.R. at 766 (approving a plan of reorganization premised on substantive consolidation where no creditors had objected and where establishing to whom actual liability, if any, should he allocated would be a "[H]erculean task consurning years oleostly professional services, thereby draining signiticnlt amounts of value from the Deblors' estates ").

given such representations, warranties, and covenants set forth above with respect to the Loan Documents, the Organizational Documents, and the Certificate. We note that Acadia Startegic has, pursuant to that certain Environmental Indemnity Agreement, agreed to indemnify Lender for any Losses (as defined therein) incurred by Lender as a result of certain environmental conditions with respect to the Property, as set forth therein (the "Environmental Indemnity"); and the Guarantor has, pursuant to that certain Guaranty Agreement, indemnified Lender for certain "bad boy" acts as set forth therein (the `"Non-Recourse Guaranty", and together with the Environmental Indemnity, and the Non-Recourse Guaranty, collectively referred to herein as the "Guaranty"), implicating Vecco 's guaranty factor. However, this factor should not be sipificant with respect to the Environmental Indemnity and Non-Recourse Guaranty, given that the applicable Guarantor's obligations pursuant to said Environmental Indemnity and Non-Recourse Guaranty are limited in scope in the following manner: (a) the Environmental Indemnity extends only to liability of the Lender as a result of the presence of Hazardous Substances on the Property or the release of Hazardous Substances (each as defined therein); (b) the Non-Recourse Guaranty extends only to what we believe to be customary liability for such matters as fraud, intentional misrepresentation, misapplication or conversion of security deposits, insurance proceeds, condemnation awards and other "bad boy acts", as specifically set forth in the Non-Recourse Guaranty. Further, given Lender's reasonable reliance upon Borrower's identity as a legal entity separate from all Relevant Entities. Lender has relied upon Borrower's assets as separate from the Relevant Entities in making the Loan. Lender's reasonable reliance upon the Borrower's separateness from the Relevant Entities militates strongly against Substantive Consolidation. See In re Cent. European Indus. Del,. Co., 288 B.R. 572 (Bankr. N.D. Cal. 2003); see also In re Xxxxx Corning 419 F.3d 195 (3d Cir. 2005).

Further, with respect to the Guaranty, we note that the presence or absence of potential liability of Guarantor pursuant to the Guaranty is one factor in evaluating whether a bankruptcy court would order substantive consolidation of the assets and liabilities of the Borrower with those of Guarantor or with those of any other Relevant Entity. The presence of this potential liability might be found to blur the separate identity of the subject entities and to indicate that in making the Loan the Lender relied on the combined assets of Borrower and its affiliated entities, but would not in it of itself, in our opinion, cause the Bankruptcy Court to consolidate.

We fully recognize that Substantive Consolidation can potentially benefit unsecured and undersecured creditors of a Relevant Entity by rendering such creditors' claims payable pan prism with those of Borrower's unsecured or undersecured creditors out of any net equity in the Property or other assets of Borrower. Such benefit is offset, however, by the inequitable prejudice such substantive consolidation would work upon Borrower's unsecured and undersecured creditors, if any, whose ability to recover upon Borrower's obligations would be diluted by the availability of the net equity in the Property or other assets of Borrower to unsecured and undersecured creditors of such Relevant Entity.

With respect to potential harm to the Lender or other holder of the Loan from a Substantive Consolidation, we acknowledge that bankruptcy courts have ordered substantive consolidation over the objection of a fully-secured creditor on the ground that such a creditor is not harmed by substantive consolidation. See In re X.X. Xxxxx, 23 B.R. at 573; see also In re

Bear Xxxxxxx Commercial Mortgage, Inc.

Page 20

Mortgage Inv. Co., 111 B.R. 601, 610 (Bankr. W.D. Tex. 1990) (overruling secured creditor's objection to reorganization plan calling for substantive consolidation of affiliates where secured creditor was receiving "indubitable equivalent" of its secured claim). However, the facts of those bankruptcy cases, and the legal conclusions flowing from the facts of those cases, are materially distinguishable from the facts and legal principles that underlie the Loan. Contrary to the assumptions set forth in Section II above and the Certificate with respect to Borrowers' separateness, upon which we rely, the entities in In re X.X. Xxxxx had always closely interrelated their financial affairs, had engaged in inter-entity loans, and had formed "essentially one operation." In re X.X. Xxxxx, 23 B.R. at 573. The entities in In re Mortgage Investment had unitary ownership, had commingled assets and business functions, and had transferred assets among themselves without observing corporate formalities. In re Mortgage Ijiv., 111 B.R. at 610. As we assume, to the extent set forth above, that Borrower will comply with the Loan Documents and Borrower's LLC Agreement regarding compliance by it with respect to the separateness of Borrower, and as the separateness covenants contained therein forbid the abovementioned conduct committed by the entities in In re P.A. Xxxxx and in In re Mortgage Investment, Substantive Consolidation should not occur nor be countenanced under the holdings of In reF.X. Xxxxx or In re Mortgage Investment.

Though Lender is secured, it would foreseeably be harmed by Substantive Consolidation of Borrower with a Relevant Entity. In such event, the various assets of Borrower would be pooled with the assets of the Relevant Entity to form a unitary bankruptcy estate from which allowed claims of creditors and allowed interests of equity security interest holders would receive distributions (if and to the extent the estate contains assets) in accordance with the distributional and priority schemes in the Bankruptcy Code. In such event, the Lender also would likely be enjoined from foreclosing upon its Security Instrument on the Property by the automatic stay provisions of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, and would then have to meet the standard enunciated in Section 362(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, and thereby obtain relief from the automatic stay, in order to foreclose upon its Security Instrument on the Property.

There can be no assurance that the Loan will be deemed fully secured as of the date of Borrower's bankruptcy, if any, or a proceeding for Substantive Consolidation. If the Loan is undersecured, by definition no equity exists in the Lender's collateral of the Borrower for the Loan. This may eliminate the incentive for creditors to seek the substantive consolidation of Borrower with any Relevant Entity, as Borrower would have no assets that are not collateral for the Loan and that remain after satisfaction of the Lender's security interest to which unsecured creditors may look for satisfaction of their own claims.

The Loan is a non-recourse obligation of Borrower except to the extent of the Recourse Obligations specifically set forth in the Loan Documents, which we believe to be customary recourse carve-outs for loss suffered by Lender as a result of "bad acts". No Relevant Entity has any liability for repayment of the Loan, except pursuant to the Guaranty, as discussed above. Accordingly, all in all, it appears that Lender relied, among other things, primarily upon the creditworthiness of Borrower and the value of the Property in making the Loan. Moreover, we conclude that Lender would not have made the Loan on the same favorable terms if Borrower were not organized as a single purpose entity for the

Bear Xxxxxxx Commercial Mortgage, Inc.

Page 21

express purpose of insulating its assets from liabilities external to the Property. Thus, it is clear that Substantive Consolidation, with its attendant imposition on Borrower of liabilities external to the Property, would frustrate one of the primary considerations of Lender in making the Loan.

Finally, it should be noted that if Borrower is not a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code at the time substantive consolidation is sought, a bankruptcy court likely would impose a significantly higher standard for its substantive consolidation. The eases in which courts have permitted the substantive consolidation of a non-debtor have been characterized either by fraud, see, e.g., Sainpsell, 000 X.X. 000, or by an egregious disregard for corporate formalities,extensive commingling of assets, and a complete failure to maintain separate books and records, rendering the segregation of the entities' respective assets and liabilities virtually impossible. See, e.g., Xxxxxxx, 328 F.2d 446; Xxxxxxx, 45 B.R. 658. Inasmuch as the assumptions above, with respect to the separateness covenants of Borrower, forbid such activities, it is even more unlikely that a bankruptcy court would order Substantive Consolidation when Borrower is not itself a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code. See In re Lease-A-Fleet, 141 B.R. at 877 (noting that common ownership, overlapping as opposed to identical directorships, common use of space, and the existence of a "substantial yet informal" debtor-creditor relationship as opposed to an intermingling of assets are "patently insufficient" to establish the degree of entanglement necessary to render substantive consolidation of a non-debtor an appropriate remedy). Our opinion, however, is not affected by whether the Borrower is itself a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code.

V. OPINION

Based on the foregoing and subject to the qualifications and assumptions set forth in this opinion, it is our opinion that in the event that any one or more of the Relevant Entities were to be a debtor or a debtor acting as a debtor-in-possession in a case under the Bankruptcy Code, under present reported decisional authority and statutes applicable to federal bankruptcy cases, in a properly presented and competently argued case, a United States Bankruptcy Court or other United States court exercising jurisdiction of such case under the Bankruptcy Code would not, in the proper exercise of its equitable discretion, disregard the separate existence of the Borrower so as to order substantive consolidation of the assets and liabilities of Borrower with the assets and liabilities of such Relevant Entity or Relevant Entities and treat such assets and liabilities as though Borrower and such Relevant Entities were one entity, regardless of whether Borrower was also a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code.

VI. QUALIFICATIONS

We note that a bankruptcy court, as a court of equity, has the express power to issue any order or process necessary to carry out the purposes and provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. Substantive consolidation analysis requires an extremely fact-intensive inquiry, and so substantive consolidation eases are largely srri generis. Accordingly, it is difficult to ascertain a consistent factual pattern upon which legal precedent of general applicability may be based. The foregoing opinion, therefore, necessarily is based upon a reasoned analysis of cases decided by courts under the laws of various jurisdictions, which cases would not necessarily

Bear Xxxxxxx Commercial Mortgage, Inc.

Page 22

be controlling in all jurisdictions.

The opinion expressed herein does not constitute an empirical prediction as to the actual result or holding in any particular litigation, but is, rather, our considered legal judgment as to the proper application of legal and equitable principles applicable in bankruptcy cases to the facts set forth herein and relied upon for purposes of this opinion. We note that legal opinions on bankruptcy law matters unavoidably have inherent limitations that generally do not exist in respect of other legal issues on which opinions to third parties typically are given. These inherent limitations exist primarily because of the pervasive equity powers of bankruptcy courts, the overriding goal of reorganization to which other legal rights and policies may be subjugated, the potential relevance to the exercise of judicial discretion of future-arising facts and circumstances, and the nature of the bankruptcy process. These limitations should be taken into account in analyzing the bankruptcy-related risks associated with the Loan.

We do not purport to express an opinion on any laws other than the laws of the United States of America under the Bankruptcy Code (including reported decisions thereunder) in effect as of the date this opinion is given. This opinion is given only on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to inform you of changes in the facts or law bearing on this opinion even if such changes are brought to our attention.

The opinion expressed herein is given only for the benefit of, and may be relied upon by, Lender, its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any assignee of Lender's interest in the Loan and any participant of Lender's interest in the Loan), Lender's counsel in connection with the Loan, any servicer of the Loan, any purchaser of the Loan or any portion thereof in any securitization, any rating agency which rates any securities in connection with the Loan, the issuer of securities in a securitization of the Loan, and any trustee, servicer or special servicer appointed in connection with a securitization of the Loan, solely in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, and may not ,be relied upon by any other party or for any other pumose without our prior written consent.
