W I T N E S E T H:
WHEREAS, Lender issued a loan commitment to Borrower dated June 30, 2004
(the "Commitment") relating to a loan for $22,000,000.00 (the "Loan") to
Borrower, which Commitment was accepted by Borrower; and
WHEREAS, Borrower executed and delivered to Lender, among other documents
and things, an Installment Note of even date herewith in the principal amount of
$22,000,000.00 which is secured by, among other things, a First Deed of Trust
and Security Agreement between Borrower as Grantor and Lender as Beneficiary
(the "Mortgage") encumbering the property commonly known as Xxxxxxx Pass
Shopping Center, intersection of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx xxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxx 000, Xxxxxx,
Xxxxxxxxxx (the "Property").
WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Commitment, Lender shall hold back
from the proceeds of the Loan an amount equal to three (3) months interest on
the amount of loan proceeds advanced at a given point in time ("Reserve
Amount"); and
WHEREAS, the Reserve Amount is to be held and disbursed by Lender pursuant
to the terms as set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, for $10.00 and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and to further induce
Lender to make and disburse the proceeds of the Loan to Borrower, Borrower and
Lender agree as follows:
1. INCORPORATION OF RECITALS. The Recitals hereinabove set forth are by this
reference incorporated herein.
2. CONDITIONS FOR RELEASE AND USE OF RESERVE AMOUNT.
So long as there is no default under the Note, the Mortgage or Other Loan
Documents, as defined in the Note and there is sufficient funds in the
Reserve Amount and to the extent that there is insufficient Cash Flow
Before Debt Service, as hereafter defined, if Borrower has not made the
required interest payment on or before the first of the month, the amount
due as of the fifth of said month will be advanced from the Reserve Amount
by Lender to pay the regularly scheduled interest on the Loan. Any amounts
so disbursed shall be added to the principal indebtedness evidenced by the
Note and interest shall accrue on said amount upon its disbursement from
the date of such disbursement. In the event
additional loan proceeds are advanced, the Reserve Amount shall be
increased upon disbursement by an amount equal to three months interest on
such advanced proceeds. In the event that the Reserve Amount is reduced to
an amount which is less than three (3) months of interest due or reasonably
anticipated to become due in connection with the Loan, over and above the
cash flow from rental income in place, Lender will notify Borrower of the
fact and the amount of the deficiency, in writing, and, Borrower shall
deposit with Lender cash or the cash equivalent thereof within thirty (30)
days following notification from Lender; provided, however, that Lender
shall not be required to make any advances under the Loan until such time
as Borrower has complied with the requirement hereunder. The term "Cash
Flow Before Debt Service" means total operating income from operation of
the Property (hereinafter "Gross Income"), including rental income, parking
revenues and other normal operating revenues, excluding, however, interest
income and security deposits, less all bona fide, necessary and reasonable
expenses for the operation and maintenance of the Property, all reported on
a cash basis. Expressly included as Property expenses are general and
administrative costs; repair and maintenance costs; janitorial expenses;
utility expenses; a management expense not to exceed five percent (5%) of
Gross Income; payroll expenses where appropriate; real estate taxes and
assessments; and property and liability insurance costs. Expressly excluded
as Property expenses are debt service payments; depreciation; amortization;
payments to affiliates with the exception of the management fee; expenses
not related to the care, upkeep and preservation of the Property; and any
other non-cash expense.
3. NO WAIVER. No delay or leniency of Lender in requiring strict performance
of the terms and conditions hereof shall constitute a waiver of its rights
hereunder.
4. NO FURTHER PLEDGE OR ENCUMBRANCE. Borrower shall not, pledge, assign or
grant any security interest in the Reserve Amount or permit any lien or
encumbrance to attach thereto or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except
those naming Lender as secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.
5. DEFAULT UNDER THE NOTE.
(a) Until the Reserve Amount is advanced by Lender, Borrower shall have no
rights to, or interest in, the Reserve Amount. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, to the extent of any continuing right, title or interest
that Borrower may have or claim to the Reserve Amount, Borrower
hereby pledges to Lender, and grants to Lender a security interest in
and to the funds deposited in the Reserve Amount from time to time as
additional collateral security for the indebtedness evidenced by the
Note.
(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any
portion of the Reserve Amount on account of any default by Borrower or
toward repayment of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall credit the Borrower with
the undisbursed balance of the Reserve Amount, if any, at the time

against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses,
damages, obligations and costs or expenses, including litigation costs and
