SECTION II.2. The Note. The Loan shall be evidenced by a
promissory note of Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit A, dated the

or compliance by an amount deemed by Lender to be material, then from time to
time as specified by Lender, Borrower shall pay promptly such additional amount
or amounts as will compensate Lender for such reduction as it accrues.

promptly upon request by Lender, cause Manager immediately to remit all amounts
then on deposit in the Borrower Collection Account to an account designated by
and under the sole dominion and control of Lender or its designee (a "Lender
Account") and cause each other depository institution at which a Borrower
Account is established to remit all amounts then on deposit in such account to a
Lender Account and (ii) Lender shall immediately be entitled to transfer or
cause to be transferred to a Lender Account any and all amounts on deposit in
each Borrower Account. The Management Agreement shall contain an acknowledgment
by the Manager that Lender can itself direct Manager to remit amounts to a
Lender Account.
(3) Borrower shall cause Manager to remit to Lender on each

remittances from the Borrower Collection Account other than (i) payments to
Lender as required by the preceding sentence, and (ii) payments of Borrower
Amounts on the related Payment Dates to or as instructed by Borrower, (iii)
subject to the Operating Budget, payments of amounts representing Administrative
Expenses, which amounts shall be remitted by Manager to the Borrower Working

of each set of instructions delivered by Borrower to Manager for any such
payment purpose shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender simultaneously with
Borrower's delivery of such instructions to Manager.
SECTION II.7. Optional Prepayments; Break Funding. (1) Borrower
may prepay the Principal Amount in whole or in part on the last day of any

Lender. Each optional prepayment pursuant to this Section shall be accompanied
by the payment of interest accrued to the date of such prepayment on the

source of the funds from a permanent financing used to make such prepayment, the
Exit Fee shall not be payable. Any amounts prepaid may not be reborrowed.
(2) Borrower shall reimburse Lender on demand for any loss
incurred or to be incurred by Lender in the reemployment of the funds released
by any optional prepayment of Principal Amount if such prepayment occurs (i)
other than on the last day of an Interest Period or (ii) on less
-12-
than ten (10) days' irrevocable prior notice to Lender. Such loss shall be the
difference, as reasonably determined by Lender, between the amount that would
have been realized by Lender for the remainder of such Interest Period based on
the LIBOR Base Rate applicable for such Interest Period and any lesser amount
that would be realized by Lender in reemploying the funds received in optional
prepayment by making a loan of the same type (but utilizing the then-applicable
LIBOR Base Rate) in the principal amount optionally prepaid during the period
from the date of such prepayment to the last day of the then-applicable Interest
Period.
SECTION II.8. Place and Time of Payment. Borrower shall make
(or cause to be made) each payment it is required to make (or cause to be made)

MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION VII.1. Modification of Agreement. This agreement may
not be modified or amended except by an agreement in writing signed by Borrower
and Lender.
SECTION VII.2. No Waiver by Lender. Lender's failure, at any
time or times hereafter, to require strict performance by Borrower of any
provision of this Agreement shall not effect a waiver of or otherwise diminish
any right of Lender thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance
therewith. Any suspension or waiver by Lender of an Event of Default shall not
suspend, waive or affect any other Event of Default, whether the same is prior
to subsequent thereto and of the same or of a different type. No notice to or
demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other or further
notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the
rights of Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without
notice or demand. None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants
and representations of Borrower contained in this Agreement and no Event of
Default shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by Lender, unless such
suspension or waiver is by an instrument in writing signed by an authorized
representative of Lender and directed to Borrower specifying such suspension or
waiver.
-29-
SECTION VII.3. Non-Recourse. Anything contained herein, in the
Note or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, no recourse
shall be had for the payment of the principal or interest on the Note or for any
other Obligation hereunder or for any claim based hereon or thereon or otherwise
in respect hereof or thereof against Manager, any director, officer, employee or
shareholder of Borrower or any partner, director, shareholder, officer or
employee of any partner or shareholder of Borrower or Manager. Notwithstanding
the foregoing (1) nothing in this Agreement shall (a) prevent recourse to any
Collateral that is pledged by Borrower, (b) constitute a waiver, release or
discharge of any Obligation, and the same shall continue until paid or
discharged in full, or (c) be construed or be deemed to relieve or release
Borrower from personal liability for damages actually incurred by Lender (i) as
a result of the fraudulent conduct of Borrower or any of Borrower's
shareholders, directors, officers, employees or agents (collectively, the
"Borrower Parties") in connection with this Loan, including the misapplication
of any cash collected with respect to the Collateral or its disposition, (ii) if
any of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, or any
other instrument, document or certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement
or in connection with the making of the Loan shall prove to have been
intentionally false or misleading in any material respect, (iii) for any tenant
security deposits in the possession of any of the Borrower Parties and not
turned over to Lender upon foreclosure, sale pursuant to power of sale, or
conveyance by deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property, (iv) for

the terms of this Agreement, or (v) for any Collections not deposited in the
Borrower Collection Account or otherwise not applied in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement or as approved by Lender in writing and (2) the
exculpation from personal liability of Borrower shall be of no further force and
effect (a) if the Collateral or any part thereof shall become an asset in a
voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding in respect of Borrower or any
Affiliate of Borrower or (b) if an Event of Default occurs and continues and
Lender or its designee fails to obtain title to the Mortgage Loan or the
Mortgaged Property pursuant to an exercise of a power of sale, a consensual
foreclosure or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure within one hundred and eighty
(180) days of notice to Borrower of such Event of Default by reason of
Borrower's impeding or restricting any action to enforce this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or failing to deliver to Lender or its designee all
instruments necessary to convey title to the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged
Property free and clear of all liens and encumbrances.
SECTION VII.4. Indemnification. Borrower shall indemnify
Lender and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents from,
and hold each of them harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities, claims,
damages or expenses incurred by any of them as a result of, or arising out of,
or in any way related to, or by reason of, any investigation, litigation or
other proceeding (whether or not such indemnified Person is a party thereto)
related to the entering into and/or performance of any Loan Document or the use
of proceeds of the Loan hereunder or the consummation of any other transactions
contemplated in any Loan Document, including the reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other
proceeding (but excluding any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or
expenses to the
-30-
extent incurred by reason of gross negligence or wilful misconduct on the part
of the Person to be indemnified).

of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and
valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be

law such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the
remaining provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION VII.6. Parties. (1) This Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of
Borrower and Lender; provided that Borrower may not assign any of its rights or
delegate any of its duties hereunder without the prior written consent of
Lender, which Lender may withhold in its sole discretion.

of Lender's interest and obligations hereunder, including by way of
participations.
(30 Upon the effectiveness of any assignment of Lender's
rights and/or obligations in accordance with its terms, the assignee shall
become a "Lender" for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. To the extent of such assignment and of the amount being assigned,
the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder. Upon
effectiveness of any such assignment and surrender of the appropriate promissory
note, Borrower shall promptly provide to the assigning Lender and to the
assignee separate promissory notes in the amount of their respective interests
substantially in the form of Exhibit A (but, if applicable, with notation
thereon that such promissory notes are given in substitution for and replacement
of the original Note or any replacement promissory notes therefor).
(40 Lender shall have the right to disclose, on a confidential
basis, all information it has received from Borrower to prospective assignees or
participants.
SECTION VII.7. Waivers by Borrower. Except as otherwise
provided for in this Agreement, Borrower waives presentment, demand and protest
and notice of presentment, demand, protest, default, nonpayment and maturity.
SECTION VII.8. Debtor-Creditor Relationships; No Partnership.
The relationship between Borrower and Lender is, and at all times shall remain,
solely that of debtor and creditor. No covenant or provision of the Loan
Documents is intended, nor shall it be deemed or construed, to create a
partnership, joint venture, agency or common interest in profits or income
between Lender and Borrower or to create an equity in any asset in Lender.
Lender neither undertakes nor assumes any responsibility or duty to Borrower or
to any other Person with respect to the Mortgage Loan except as expressly
provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any provision of the Loan
Documents: (1) Lender is not, and shall not be construed as, a partner, joint
venturer, alter ego,
-31-
manager, controlling person or other business associate or participant of any
kind of Borrower; (2) Lender shall in no event be liable for any debts, expenses
or losses incurred or sustained by Borrower; and (3) Lender shall not be deemed
responsible for, or a participant in, any acts, omissions or decisions of

liabilities, losses, costs or expenses.

irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York State
Court sitting in New York County for purposes of all legal proceedings arising
out of or relating to this Agreement. Each of Borrower and Lender irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now
or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in
such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has
been brought in an inconvenient forum.
SECTION VII.10. Wavier of Jury Trial. Each of Borrower and
Lender hereby irrevocably waives any and all rights to trial by jury in any
legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Collateral or
the transactions contemplated hereby.
SECTION VII.11. Restoration of Set Aside. If, for any reason,
any portion of Borrower's payments to Lender pursuant to this Agreement is set
aside or restored, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, after the making
thereof, then the obligation intended to be satisfied thereby shall be revived
and shall continue in full force and effect as if said payment or payments had
not been made, and Borrower shall be liable for the full amount Lender is
required to repay plus any and all costs and expense (including (i) attorneys'
fees and expenses and (ii) attorneys' fees and expenses incurred pursuant to the
Bankruptcy Code) paid by Lender in connection therewith.
