instrument referred to in clause (b) above and, except in connection with any payment in full of any Investment, shall proceed with such course of action only upon receipt of the Owner's written approval thereof. The Owner agrees to cooperate with the Servicer by either executing and delivering to the Servicer from time to time (i) powers of attorney evidencing the Servicer's authority and power under this Section, or (ii) such documents or instruments deemed necessary or appropriate by the Servicer to enable the Servicer to carry out its Investment Servicing obligations hereunder.
(b) In the performance of its Investment Servicing obligations hereunder, the Servicer shall take any action that is directed by the Owner which relates to the Servicer's Investment Servicing obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be obligated to take, or to refrain from taking, any action which the Owner requests that the Servicer take or refrain from taking to the extent that the Servicer determines in its reasonable judgment that such action or inaction (i) may cause a violation of applicable laws, regulations, codes, ordinances, court orders or restrictive covenants with respect to any Investment, Obligor, or Investment Property; or (ii) may cause a violation of any provision of an Investment Document.

8
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Servicer shall not undertake to provide services (the "Special Services") relating to activity set forth in Section 2.03(c), lease approvals, work-outs or investment restructuring, assumptions or substitutions, foreclosure or accepting deeds-in-lieu thereof, asset management, disposition or other similar activities of or with respect to any Investment, or Investment Property, except as expressly provided for herein or pursuant to a separate written agreement between the Owner and the Servicer which sets forth the scope of the Special Services and the fees to be paid to the Servicer for the Special Services.
Section 3.02. Escrow Accounts; Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items.
(a) With respect to the Investments described in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and Lease Schedule, and subject to and as required by the terms of the related Investment Documents, the Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more Eligible Accounts (each, an "Escrow Account") into which any or all Escrow Payments shall be deposited promptly after receipt and identification. Escrow Accounts shall be denominated "Midland Loan Services, Inc. in Trust for Spirit Finance Corporation" or in such other manner as the Owner prescribes. The Servicer shall notify the Owner in writing of the location and account number of each Escrow Account it establishes and shall notify the Owner prior to any change thereof. Withdrawals of amounts from an Escrow Account may be made, subject to any express provisions to the contrary herein, applicable laws, and to the terms of the related Investment Documents governing the use of the Escrow Payments, only: (i) to effect payment of taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, ground rents and other items required or permitted to be paid from escrow; (ii) to refund to the Obligors any sums determined to be in excess of the amounts required to be deposited therein; (iii) to pay interest, if required under the Investment Documents or relevant law, to the Obligors on balances in the Escrow Accounts; (iv) to pay to the Servicer from time to time any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited therein pursuant to Section 3.04; (v) to apply funds to the indebtedness or lease amounts due with respect to the Investment in accordance with the terms thereof; (vi) to reimburse the Owner or Servicer for any Servicing Expense for which Escrow Payments should have been made by the Obligors, but only from amounts received on the Investment which represent late collections of Escrow Payments thereunder; (vii) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Escrow Accounts which was not required to be deposited therein; or (viii) to clear and terminate the Escrow Accounts at the termination of this Agreement.
(b) The Servicer shall maintain accurate records with respect to each Investment Property reflecting the status of taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien thereon and the status of insurance premiums payable with respect thereto as well as the payment of ground rents with respect to each ground lease (to the extent such information is reasonably available). To the extent that the related Investment Documents require Escrow Payments to be made by an Obligor, the Servicer shall use Reasonable Efforts to obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such items, and shall effect payment prior to the applicable penalty or termination date, employing for such purpose Escrow Payments paid by the Obligor pursuant to the terms of the Investment and deposited in the related Escrow Account by the Servicer. To the extent that the Investment does not require an Obligor to make Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall use its Reasonable Efforts to require that any such payment be made by the Obligors prior to the applicable penalty or termination date. Subject to Section 3.05 with respect to the payment of insurance premiums, if an Obligor fails to make any such payment on a timely basis or collections from the Obligor are insufficient to pay any such item when due, the amount of any shortfall shall be paid by the Servicer as a Servicing Expense, provided that the Servicer has consulted with the Owner regarding the timing for payment of taxes, assessments and other similar items.
Section 3.03. Owner Collection Accounts.
(a) With respect to the Investments, the Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more Eligible Accounts (each, a "Owner Collection Account") for the benefit of the Owner for the purposes

set forth herein. Owner Collection Accounts shall be denominated "Midland Loan Services, Inc. in Trust for Spirit Finance Corporation" or in such other manner as the Owner prescribes. The Servicer shall notify the Owner in writing of the location and account number of each Owner Collection Account it establishes and shall notify the Owner prior to any change thereof. The Servicer shall deposit into the Owner Collection Accounts within one (1) Business Day after receipt all payments and collections received by it on or after the Servicing Transfer Date hereof with respect to the Investments, other than Escrow Payments or payments in the nature of Additional Servicing Compensation. Servicer shall not be deemed to have received any payments on the related Investment until such time Servicer has immediately available funds reflecting such payment.
(b) The Servicer shall make withdrawals from the Owner Collection Accounts only as follows (the order set forth below not constituting an order of priority for such withdrawals):
(i) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Owner Collection Accounts which was not required to be deposited therein;
(ii) pursuant to Section 5.01, to pay to the Servicer the Servicing Fee on each Remittance Date;
(iii) pursuant to Section 5.02, to pay or reimburse the Servicer for any Servicing Expenses;
(iv) to pay to the Owner from time to time any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in the Owner Collection Accounts pursuant to Section 3.04;
(v) to remit to the Owner on each Remittance Date, pursuant to wiring instructions from the Owner, all amounts on deposit in the Owner Collection Accounts (that represent good funds) as of the close of business on the Determination Date, net of any withdrawals from the Owner Collection Account pursuant to this Section; and
(vi) to clear and terminate the Owner Collection Accounts upon the termination of this Agreement.
Section 3.04. Permitted Investments.
The Servicer may direct any depository institution or trust company in which the Accounts are maintained to invest the funds held therein in one or more Permitted Investments; provided, however, that such funds shall be either (i) immediately available or (ii) available in accordance with a schedule which will permit the Servicer to meet its payment obligations hereunder. The Servicer shall be entitled to all income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the Escrow Account. The Servicer shall deposit from its own funds in the applicable Account the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such investment of funds immediately upon the realization of such loss. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not direct the investment of funds held in any Escrow Account and retain the income and gain realized therefrom if the related Investment Documents or applicable law permit the Obligor to be entitled to the income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited therein. In such event, the Servicer shall direct the depository institution or trust company in which such Escrow Accounts are maintained to invest the funds held therein (1) in accordance with the Obligor's written investment instructions, if the Investment Documents or applicable law require such funds to be invested in accordance with the Obligor's direction; and (2) in accordance with the Owner's written investment instructions, if the Investment Documents and applicable law do not permit the Obligor to direct the investment of such funds; provided, however, that in either event (i) such funds shall be either (y) immediately available or (z) available in accordance with a schedule which will permit the Servicer to meet the payment obligations for which the Escrow Account was established, and (ii) the Servicer shall have no liability for any loss in investments of such funds that are invested pursuant to such written instructions.
10
The Owner shall be entitled to all income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the Owner Collection Accounts. The Servicer shall have no liability for any loss in investments of such funds that are invested in the Owner Collection Accounts.
Section 3.05. Maintenance of Insurance Policies.
(a) The Servicer shall use its Reasonable Efforts to cause the Obligor of each Investment to maintain for each Investment such insurance as is required to be maintained pursuant to the related Investment Documents. If the Obligor fails to maintain such insurance, then the Servicer shall notify the Owner of such breach and, to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates and the Owner, as mortgagee or lessor, has an insurable interest, cause to be maintained subject to the Investment Document (i) fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the replacement cost of the improvements which are a part of the related Investment Property and (ii) to the extent that the Investment Property is located in a federally designated special flood hazard area, flood insurance in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (y) the unpaid principal balance of the related Investment or (z) the maximum amount of such insurance as is available for the related Investment Property under the National Flood Insurance Act. After notifying the Owner pursuant to the second preceding sentence, the Servicer shall take such action as the Owner reasonably requests with respect to the maintenance of any other forms of insurance which are required to be maintained pursuant to the related Investment Documents, except to the extent that such insurance is not available at commercially reasonable rates or the Owner, as mortgagee or lessor, does not have an insurable interest. All such policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee/lessor clauses with loss payable to the Owner, and shall be in an amount sufficient to avoid the application of any co-insurance clause. The costs of maintaining the insurance policies which the Servicer is required to maintain pursuant to this Section shall be paid by the Servicer as a Servicing Expense.
(b) The Servicer may fulfill its obligation to maintain insurance, as provided in Section 3.05(a), through a master force placed insurance policy, the cost of which shall be paid by the Servicer as a Servicing Expense, provided that such cost is limited to the incremental cost of such policy allocable to such Investment Property (i.e., other than any minimum or standby premium payable for such policy whether or not any Investment Property is then covered thereby, which shall be paid by the Servicer). Such master force placed insurance policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Investment Property a policy otherwise complying with the provisions of Section 3.05(a), and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such a policy had it been maintained, immediately deposit into the related Owner Collection Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the master force placed insurance policy because of such deductible to the extent that such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation required under the related Investment Documents, or, in the absence of such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation which is consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices.
(c) The Servicer shall maintain at its own expense a fidelity bond in form and amount that is consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices. In addition, the Servicer shall keep in force, at its own expense during the term of this Agreement, a policy or policies of insurance in form and amounts that are consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, covering loss occasioned by the errors and omissions of the Servicer's officers and employees in connection with its obligations hereunder. Servicer may comply with this Section of the Agreement by purchasing such bond or insurance, by self insuring for these items consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices or a combination of the above.
Section 3.06. Delivery and Possession of Servicing Files.
On or before the related Servicing Transfer Date, the Owner shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Servicer (i) a Servicing File with respect to each Investment; and (ii) the amounts, if any, received by the Owner representing Escrow Payments previously made by the Obligors. The Servicer
11
shall promptly acknowledge receipt of the Servicing File and Escrow Payments for the Investments and shall promptly deposit such Escrow Payments in the Escrow Accounts established pursuant to this Agreement. The contents of each Servicing File delivered to the Servicer are and shall be held in trust by the Servicer for the benefit of the Owner as the owner thereof; the Servicer's possession of the contents of each Servicing File so delivered is for the sole purpose of servicing the related Investment; and such possession by the Servicer shall be in a custodial capacity only. The Servicer shall release its custody of the contents of any Servicing File only in accordance with written instructions from the Owner, and upon request of the Owner, the Servicer shall deliver to the Owner the Servicing File or a copy of any document contained therein; provided, however, that if the Servicer is unable to perform its Investment Servicing obligations with respect to the related Investment after any such release or delivery of the Servicing File, then the Servicer shall not be liable to the Owner or any third party while the related Servicing File is not in the Servicer's possession for any inability of the Servicer to perform any such obligation hereunder and Servicer may terminate this Agreement with respect to such Investment immediately upon written notice to the Owner.
Section 3.07. Inspections.
The Servicer shall not be required to perform a physical inspection of each Investment Property except pursuant to a separate written agreement between the Owner and the Servicer which sets forth the scope of the inspections. Upon completing such an inspection, the Servicer shall prepare a written report of each such inspection and shall promptly deliver a copy of such report to the Owner.
Section 3.08. Exercise of Remedies Upon Investment Defaults.
Upon the failure of any Obligor to make any required payment of rent, principal, interest or other amounts due under an Investment, or otherwise to perform fully any material obligations under any of the related Investment Documents, the Servicer shall, upon discovery of such failure, promptly notify the Owner in writing. As directed in writing by the Owner in each instance, the Servicer shall issue notices of default, declare events of default, declare due the entire outstanding principal balance, and otherwise take all reasonable actions (that do not constitute Special Services) under the related Investment in preparation for the Owner to realize upon the underlying collateral or to exercise its remedies under the applicable Lease. In the event that title to any of the Investment Properties is acquired by a third party at a foreclosure or trustee's sale, the servicing rights and obligations of the Servicer with respect to the related Investment shall terminate, unless the third party and the Servicer enter into a separate servicing agreement with respect to any such Investment Property or the Owner and Servicer have agreed pursuant to Section 3.01 that the Servicer shall perform Special Services with respect to any such Investment Property.
ARTICLE IV.

ARTICLE V.
SERVICER'S COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES
Section 5.01. Servicing Compensation.
(a) As consideration for servicing the Investments subject to this Agreement, the Servicer shall be entitled to a Servicing Fee for each Investment remaining subject to this Agreement during any calendar month or part thereof. The Servicing Fee related to Mortgages shall be payable monthly on the Remittance Date and shall be computed on the basis of the same outstanding principal balance and for the period with respect to which any related interest payment on the related Investment is computed. The Servicing Fee related to Leases shall be payable monthly on the Remittance Date and shall be computed on the basis of the property capitalized cost on which the lease payment is based. The Servicer may pay itself the Servicing Fee on each Remittance Date from amounts on deposit in the related Owner Collection Account. To the extent that amounts on deposit in the Owner Collection Account are insufficient for such purposes, the Owner shall pay any such shortfall to the Servicer within ten (10) Business Days after the Owner's receipt of an itemized invoice therefor.
(b) As further compensation for its activities hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain any payments or collections received by it which are in the nature of Additional Servicing Compensation.
(c) The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement thereof except as specifically provided for herein.
Section 5.02. Servicing Expenses.
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Servicer shall obtain the written approval of the Owner prior to incurring any Servicing Expense, except for any Servicing Expense which is (i) incurred by the Servicer pursuant to Sections 3.02(b) or 3.05 or (ii) made for any purposes other than those described in item (i) above, and is not over $25,000.00 per item and is made in an emergency situation to preserve and protect the Investment Property or the safety of the public in connection with such Investment Property.
The Servicer may cause any Servicing Expenses to be paid directly from the related Owner Collection Account. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Servicer shall have no obligation to advance its own funds for the payment of any Servicing Expenses. The Servicer may, at its option, make advances from its own funds with respect to the payment of such expenses, in which event the Servicer shall be reimbursed for such advances from the related Owner Collection Account. In the event that there are insufficient funds in the related Owner Collection Account to permit the payment of Servicing Expenses or to permit the Servicer to reimburse itself for such advances, the Owner shall deposit the necessary funds in the related Owner Collection Account or reimburse the Servicer, as the case may be, for all incurred Servicing Expenses, within two (2) Business Days after the Owner's receipt of an itemized invoice therefor; provided, however, if Owner does not reimburse the Servicing Expenses within such two (2) Business Day period, the Owner shall pay Services interest on the outstanding Servicing Expenses beginning on the third (3rd) Business Day after receipt of the related invoice at the Advance Rate.
If the Servicer has provided such an invoice to the Owner, and funds are subsequently deposited into the related Owner Collection Account from sources other than the Owner, the Servicer shall, upon receipt thereof, immediately pay such expenses or reimburse itself for such advances from the related Owner Collection Account, in which event the Servicer shall promptly (i) notify the Owner of such payment or reimbursement, (ii) amend or cancel, as the case may be, such invoice, and (iii) if applicable, immediately reimburse the Owner if the Owner has made such payment to the Servicer.

The Owner and any director, officer, employee or agent thereof shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Servicer against any loss, liability or expense incurred, including reasonable attorneys' fees, by reason of (i) the Servicer's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder or (ii) a breach of the Servicer's representations and warranties set forth in Section 7.01.
