(f) If (i) Borrower shall have requested an acceleration of
payments under this Agreement or (ii) there shall have occurred an Event of
Default or (iii) Borrower shall be in default on any obligation to pay money in
any way related to the Project and Lender has reason to believe this default

amounts not more than was required under the applicable underlying contract and
no person dealing with
- 23 -

pursuant to a Space Lease, the actual aggregate allowance
provided by Borrower for such Restaurant Improvements under
such Space Lease and (2) whether or not such Restaurant
Improvements are being constructed pursuant to a Space
Lease, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000).
- 26 -
(B) The aggregate of Disbursements for particular Retail Tenant
Improvements for space other than the Restaurant
Improvements shall not exceed the lesser of (1) if such
Retail Tenant Improvements are being constructed pursuant to
a Space Lease, the actual aggregate allowance provided by

particular Retail Tenant Improvements, the amount of such
savings may be applied by Borrower to increase the maximum
amount of the Loan available for Retail Tenant Improvement
Costs under clause (2) of Sections 2.12(c)(i)(A) and (B).
"Savings" as used in the preceding sentence shall mean (Y)

and
(C) A budget and construction schedule for the completion

for particular Retail Tenant Improvements, Lender shall have
received and approved certificates, letters, waivers,

Section 2.13. Modifications to Project Budget. From time to time,
-------------------------------
Borrower or Lender may determine that increases or decreases are necessary to
the amounts set forth in the Project Budget because of actual or anticipated
changes in
- 28 -
Project Costs (including unilateral GSA change orders). If, after due
consultation and consideration of the views of Borrower and supporting
documentation, Borrower and Lender do not agree on what increases or decreases
need to be made to the Project Budget amounts set forth in the Project Budget,
the determination of Lender shall control, unless Borrower delivers an
acceptable letter of credit or other security to the Lender for the disputed
amount, to the extent that the disputed amount increases the overall Project
Budget.
Section 2.14. Balancing. Disbursements to pay Project Costs shall
---------
only be made at such times as the Loan is "in balance." The Loan shall be
deemed to be "in balance" only at such times as Lender shall determine, after
consultation with Borrower, that the sum of (a) the portion of the Loan not yet
disbursed for each Item of Project Costs (including Retainage on funds
previously advanced on account of such Item), plus (b) any excess amounts from
savings on any other Items to be applied to the Item in question plus (c) the
portion of such Item to be paid by the GSA or another Space Tenant under the
Government Leases or another Space Lease, is equal to or greater than the full
cost of such Item. If the Loan is not in balance, Lender shall have no
obligation to make, and Borrower shall not be entitled to receive, Disbursements
pursuant hereto (excluding Disbursements for interest drawn by and paid to
Lender) with respect to that portion of the Loan for each Item which is out of
balance. When the Loan is again in balance, Lender shall resume funding the
portion of the Loan for the Item in question in accordance with the terms of
this Loan Agreement. With respect to those Items covered by the Construction
Contract or other fixed price Contracts, if an Item or Items under the
Construction Contract or such other Contract is or are out of balance by an
aggregate amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or more, Lender
shall have the right to require that the Contractor or Subcontractor performing
the work for the Item or Items which is or are out of balance provide a payment
and performance bond to guarantee the completion of the work for the Item or
Items, to the extent the Contractor or Subcontractor has not already provided
such bond.
2.15. Automatic Debit and Credit: Wire Transfers. Subject to Section
------------------------------------------
2.08(b), Disbursements of the Loan proceeds shall be made in immediately
available funds by Lender creditinq the Disbursement Account established by
Borrower with Lender pursuant to the Assignment of Rents. Upon Borrower's
request, Lender will wire such Loan proceeds from the Disbursement Account to
such account(s) as Borrower shall designate in the related Request for
Disbursement. Alternatively, upon Borrower's request, Lender shall wire such
Loan proceeds directly to such accounts as Borrower shall
- 29 -
designate in the related Request for Disbursement without first depositing such
proceeds into the Disbursement Account. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to
automatically debit the Disbursement Account for all interest, fees and other
charges payable to Lender pursuant to the Note, this Agreement and/or any of the
Loan Documents; provided, however, that the failure of Lender to so debit the
Disbursement Account shall not relieve Borrower of any of its obligations under
the Note, this Agreement and/or any of the Loan Documents.
ARTICLE III
BORROWER'S FIXED RATE OPTION
----------------------------
Section 3.01. Borrower's Fixed Rate Option. At any time after
----------------------------
Completion of Construction has occurred, Borrower shall have the right, on and
subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth (the "Conversion
Option"), to cause the interest rate on a Portion of Principal to be converted
from the floating rate or rates then in effect pursuant to the terms of the Note
to the Fixed Rate for an Interest Period designated by Borrower.
Section 3.02. Exercise of Conversion Option.
------------------------------
(a) Borrower may exercise the Conversion Option on any Business Day by
(i) giving Lender an Interest Rate Notice in accordance with the Note
designating the Fixed Rate and the desired Interest Period and (ii) thereafter
accepting a Fixed Rate in the manner provided in this Article III.
(b) Upon or after delivery of an Interest Rate Notice designating the
Fixed Rate, but in no event later than 5:00 p.m. New York time on the Business
Day immediately preceding the last day of the ensuing Exercise Period (as
defined in Section 3.02(c) below), Borrower shall deliver to Lender written
notice ("Timing Notice") identifying one or more representatives of Borrower
(and their telephone numbers), each of whom (i) is individually authorized to
accept or reject the Fixed Rate obtainable by Lender and offered to Borrower, as
hereinafter provided, and (ii) will be available to Lender by telephone until
5:00 p.m. New York time on the Business Day said timing Notice is given and from
9:00 a.m. New York time until 3:00 p.m. New York time on the next following
Business Day.
(c) An "Exercise Period" shall mean a period commencing at 9:00 a.m.
New York time on the Monday (or, if such Monday is not a Business Day, the next
following Business
- 30 -
Day) next following the date on which an Interest Rate Notice designating the
Fixed Rate is given to Lender and continuing through and including 3:00 p.m. New
York time on the next following Thursday (or, if such Thursday is not a Business
Day, the next preceding Business Day).
Section 3.03. Interest Rate Management Arrangement.
------------------------------------
(a) Lender shall, by no later than 3:00 p.m. on the Business Day next
following Borrower's giving of a Timing Notice during an Exercise Period, use
all reasonable efforts to obtain an offer for an Interest Rate Management
Arrangement having a term equal to the Interest Period designated in the
Interest Rate Notice that will enable Lender to convert the interest rate on the
affected Portion of Principal on Lender's books from a floating to a fixed rate
of interest (subject, however, to adjustment as provided in the Note). Prior to
accepting such offer for an Interest Rate Management Arrangement, Lender shall
telephonically quote to Borrower the fixed per annum interest rate together with
all Funding Costs that will result from effectuating such an Interest Rate
Management Arrangement, which rate Borrower shall immediately either accept or
reject. If Lender is able to contact Borrower and Borrower fails to immediately
accept or reject the offered Fixed Rate, Lender shall have no obligation to
further attempt to effectuate such an Interest Rate Management Arrangement. The
Fixed Rate offered by Lender shall be the sum of the fixed rate of interest
obtainable in the offered Interest Rate Management Arrangement plus five hundred
twenty-five one-thousandths of one percent (0.525%).
(b) If Borrower accepts the Fixed Rate quoted by Lender, Lender shall
use all reasonable efforts to accept and enter into the offered Interest Rate
Management Arrangement. If Lender is able to enter into the offered Interest
Rate Management Arrangement then, commencing on the third (3rd) Business Day
after Lender enters into the offered Interest Rate Management Arrangement (the
"Conversion Date"), the interest rate on the Portion of Principal to which the
Fixed Rate is to apply shall, without further notice to or action by Borrower or
Lender, bear Interest at the Fixed Rate for the designated Interest Period.
Borrower's acceptance of a Fixed Rate shall be irrevocable for the designated
interest Period.
(c) If Borrower rejects the Fixed Rate quoted by Lender pursuant to
Subsection 3.03(a) or if Lender is unable to contact Borrower to obtain
Borrower's election as to such Fixed Rate, Lender shall not accept the offered
Interest Rate Management Arrangement and shall, until 3:00 p.m. on the final
Business Day of the Exercise Period then in effect, continue to use all
reasonable efforts to seek an Interest Rate Management
- 31 -
Arrangement that will result in a Fixed Rate acceptable to Borrower. If
Borrower fails to accept a Fixed Rate by 3:00 p.m. on such date, Borrower shall
have no further right during such Exercise Period to convert the interest rate
on the Note from a floating to a fixed rate. Borrower shall nonetheless retain
the right, subject to the same terms and conditions hereof, to give another
Interest Rate Notice designating the Fixed Rate and, during the ensuing Exercise
Period, to give the Timing Notice and accept a Fixed Rate.
(d) If Borrower accepts the Fixed Rate, Borrower shall reimburse Lender
for all Funding Costs incurred by Lender as a result of Borrower's exercise of
the Conversion Option and acceptance of a Fixed Rate.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, the following limitations shall apply to
Borrower's rights in respect of the Conversion Option:
(i) In exercising the Conversion Option, Borrower may
designate an Interest Period that expires on or before,
but not after the Maturity Date. If Borrower designates
the Fixed Rate for an Interest Period that expires prior
to the Maturity Date, then the applicable rate or rates
of interest for the remainder of the Loan Term shall be
that or those rates from time to time in effect by reason
of Borrower's election of such rate or rates pursuant to
Section 3(b) of the Note or by operation of the other
provisions of the Note.
(ii) In exercising the Conversion Option, Borrower must
designate as the Portion of Principal to bear interest at
the Fixed Rate the entire principal balance of the Loan
outstanding at such time. Amounts thereafter advanced
under the Note shall bear interest at the Eurodollar Rate
or Prime Rate in accordance with the terms of the Note,
but shall not be entitled to bear interest at the Fixed
Rate unless and until (A) the Interest Period for the
Fixed Rate as previously selected by Borrower expires
prior to the Maturity Date and Borrower thereafter again
exercises the Conversion Option or (B) the entire
remaining balance of the Loan still available to be drawn
has been drawn and Lender, upon Borrower's
- 32 -
delivery of an appropriate Interest Rate Notice, is able to
obtain an Interest Rate Management Arrangement that will
permit Lender, on terms reasonably acceptable to Lender and
Borrower, to convert the interest rate on the amount of such
entire remaining balance to a fixed rate of interest.
Section 3.04. Conditions to Lender's Enter Into an Interest Rate
--------------------------------------------------
Management Arrangement. Lender's obligation to enter into an Interest Rate
----------------------
Management Arrangement and thereby convert the interest rate on the Note to the
Fixed Rate shall in all respects be conditioned upon the satisfaction (or waiver
by Lender) of all of the following conditions:

no material adverse change in the financial condition of Borrower and
Guarantors' certificate that no material adverse change in the financial

the Loan Documents.
(c) All of the representations and warranties set forth in this
Agreement, the Loan Documents and other documents delivered to Lender in
connection with the funding of the Loan shall be true and correct in all

such representations and warranties to Lender as of such date.
(d) As of the Conversion Date, there shall be (i) no litigation pending
nor shall litigation have been threatened in writing by a potential claimant or
a potential claimant's counsel with respect to the Trust Estate, and (ii) no
condemnation or similar proceeding shall be pending nor shall same have been
threatened by a duly authorized official of a Governmental Authority acting in
his official capacity with respect to all or ally part of the Trust Estate,
either of which, if determined adversely to Borrower, would materially and
adversely affect the Trust Estate or the priority of Lender's lien thereon or
the financial condition of Borrower or Guarantors.
(e) Borrower shall have complied in all respects with the applicable
terms and conditions of this Article III.

remade from time to time as elsewhere provided in this Agreement.

Borrower has the authority, rights and franchises to own its properties, to
carry on its business as now conducted, to perform its obligations hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents, to complete the Project in accordance with the
Plans, and to own and operate the Project as a first-class commercial office

I, and the ownership of Lot 872.
Section 6.02. Authorization; Enforceable Obligation. Borrower has the

action to authorize the borrowings on the terms and conditions hereof and the
execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which Borrower is a
party. No consent, license, permit, approval or authorization of, exemption by,
notice or report to, or registration, filing or declaration with any
Governmental Authority which has not been obtained is required for the
execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents to which
it is a party. Each of the Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party has been

documents on behalf of Borrower and constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its
terms.
Section 6.03. Conflicting Agreements. Neither the execution nor
----------------------
delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any amendments thereto,
nor fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and provisions hereof or
thereof, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or by
- 51 -
any of the other documents referred to herein, will conflict with or result in a
breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under,
or result in any violation of, or result in the creation of any lien (other than
the lien of the Loan Documents) upon any of the properties or assets of Borrower
pursuant to its partnership agreement, any award of any arbitrator or any
agreement (including any Project Document and any agreement with Borrower's
partners), instrument, order, judgment, decree, statute, law, ordinance,
franchise, certificate, permit, rule, regulation or the like to which Borrower
is subject, or to or by which its properties or its assets or the Trust Estate
are bound or affected.

the general Partners of Borrower or assets of Borrower or that would, if
determined adversely, be likely to have a material adverse effect on (a)
Borrower's ability to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents in
accordance with the terms thereof, (b) the validity of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, or (c) Lender's security under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document. No notice has been received by Borrower of any proceeding to
condemn, purchase or otherwise acquire the Trust Estate or any part thereof or
interest therein, and, to the best of Borrower's knowledge, no such proceeding
has been threatened by a duly authorized official of a Governmental Authority
acting in his official capacity.

alleged misrepresentation of the statement made by it in the immediately
preceding sentence. In case any action, suit or proceeding is brought against
Lender by reason of such alleged misrepresentation by Borrower (a) Lender shall
give prompt notice thereof to Borrower, (b) Borrower may, at Borrower's sole
cost and expense, resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding by counsel
reasonably satisfactory to Lender, and (c) if Borrower elects to defend such
action, suit or proceeding, Lender shall not compromise or settle any such
- 53 -
action, suit or proceeding without the consent of Borrower unless Lender waives
its right to indemnification under this Section. In case any action, suit or
proceeding is brought against Borrower by reason of such alleged
misrepresentation by Lender, (i) Borrower shall give prompt notice thereof to
Lender, (ii) Lender may, at Lender's sole cost and expense, resist and defend
such action, suit or proceeding by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Borrower,
and (iii) if Lender elects to defend such action, suit or proceeding, Borrower
shall not compromise or settle any such action, suit or proceeding without the
consent of Lender, unless Borrower waives its right to indemnification under
this Section.

to any Project Document has asserted any claim of default or offset against the
other with respect thereto that remains uncured.
Section 6.12. Plans. All Plans for the Project required as of the
-----
date hereof under the terms of the GSA Building Lease are listed in Schedule
6.12 hereto. The Plans listed therein have been approved, and all amendments
and supplements to the Plans listed therein (a) will be approved by (i) the
General Contractor (to the extent required by the Construction Contract), (ii)
the beneficiary of any restrictive covenant requiring such approval, and (iii)
the Space Tenant that will occupy the space covered by the Plans and (b) will be
submitted to all Governmental Authorities with jurisdiction over the Project, to
the extent required, in a form such Governmental Authorities are anticipated to
approve.
Section 6.13. Project Budget and Construction Schedule. The Project
----------------------------------------
Budget accurately reflects, to the best of Borrower's knowledge and belief, all
Project Costs which have been and will be incurred by Borrower in the
acquisition, development and construction of the Project. The Construction
Schedule accurately reflects, to the best of Borrower's knowledge and belief,
the time required to complete the entire Project and each portion thereof.
Section 6.14. Streets and Utilities. All utility services necessary
---------------------
for the construction of the Project and the
- 54 -
operation thereof for its intended purposes are available at the boundaries of
the Premises, including water supply, fire protection, storm and sanitary sewer,
gas, electricity, and telephone facilities. The Project has lawful, adequate,
unobstructed, and unimpaired access to public streets.
Section 6.15. ERISA. Borrower does not have a defined benefit pension
-----
plan under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, the
unfunded liabilities of which could, upon termination of the plan, be held to be
a liability of Borrower by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.
Section 6.16. Environmental. Except as disclosed in the Environmental
-------------
Report, there are not now and, to Borrower's best knowledge after due inquiry,
never have been any Hazardous Materials present at or conveyed from or to the
Premises or incorporated into the Project, except for Hazardous Materials used
in the normal course of construction of the Project, as to which there exists no
practical alternative and which have been used or are being used in strict
compliance with all Laws and have been or will be removed in their entirety from
the Premises promptly upon completion of such use.
Section 6.17. Whole Tax Parcel. The Land constitutes a single, whole
----------------
tax parcel and is assessed separately from any other real property.
Section 6.18. Casualty. The Project has not been materially damaged
--------
by fire or other casualty, or if damaged, Lender as loss payee has received
insurance proceeds and, if necessary, a Completion Deposit in the manner, amount
and as otherwise contemplated by Section 1.09 of the Deed of Trust and such
proceeds and Completion Deposit are sufficient to effect the satisfactory
restoration of the Project and to permit Completion of Construction on or prior
to the Completion Date and in accordance with all of the terms and provisions of
this Agreement.
Section 6.19. True Statements. Neither this Agreement, any other Loan
---------------
Document nor any other document delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan
(including without limitation all Requests for Disbursements) contains, or will
contain when made, any untrue statement of a material fact and by this reference
all representations and warranties made in any of the Loan Documents are hereby
made a part of this Agreement to the same extent as if fully set forth herein.

both increases and decreases, previously made;
(d) Shall, if a Major Change Order (as hereinafter defined), be
submitted to Lender not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed

bulk, location or use (a) of Lot 872 from that
- 65 -
heretofore presented to Lender so as to materially adversely affect the Premises
or (b) of Phase I except as permitted under the documents providing for,
evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to the loan made by Lender to
Borrower in respect of Phase I.
Section 7.21. Further Encumbrance. Except as otherwise expressly
-------------------
permitted by this Section 7.21, Borrower shall not further mortgage, encumber
for debt or pledge the Project, Trust Estate, Revenues or any part thereof or
any interest therein (including, without limitation, any air or development
rights). Borrower shall be permitted to further encumber for debt, mortgage or
pledge the Trust Estate or a part thereof as security for additional
indebtedness ("Subordinate Financing") provided that all of the following
conditions have been met by Borrower to Lender's reasonable satisfaction or
Lender has waived the same in writing:
(a) Borrower has validly elected the Fixed Rate under the Note
for an Interest Period ending on the Maturity Date.
(b) The Debt Service Coverage Ratio (calculated as if the
Subordinate Financing had occurred and payments of principal and interest were
payable with respect thereto) for the month preceding the month in which the
Subordinate Financing is to occur, shall be equal to or greater than 1.15.
(c) After taking the Subordinate Financing into account, the
Loan to Value Ratio as of the date of the Subordinate Financing shall be no
greater than eighty percent (80%).
(d) Borrower shall give Lender telephonic notice, promptly
confirmed in writing, of Borrower's intention to engage in any such Subordinate
Financing at least twenty (20) days prior to Borrower's entering into such
Subordinate Financing. Not later than ten (10) days prior to the closing of such
Subordinate Financing, Borrower shall submit to Lender all documentation with
respect to such Subordinate Financing. Lender shall have ten (10) days from
receipt of such documentation to approve such documentation and if Lender shall
not have responded to Borrower's request for approval within ten (10) days after
receipt thereof, Lender shall be deemed to have approved the documentation with
respect to such Subordinate Financing. All documentation with respect to any
Subordinate Financing shall be approved by Lender if such documentation, in
Lender's reasonable judgment, (i) expressly provides that the Subordinate
Financing and all rights given to the lender under such Subordinate Financing
("Subordinate Lender") shall be subject and subordinate to the
- 66 -
Loan and all Loan Documents (as then in effect) in all respects, and (ii)
provides for the following:
(A) The Subordinate Financing shall not contain any provisions which
conflict with the Deed of Trust or the Assignment of Rents with regard to the
collection and release and of insurance proceeds, distribution of condemnation
awards arid collection of rents following an Event of Default or shall expressly
provide that the Deed of Trust and Assignment of Rents control with respect to
the foregoing. The Subordinate Financing shall not assign to the Subordinate
Lender any interest in the Rents payable under a Government Lease (as those
terms are defined in the Assignment of Rents).
(B) Any debt service or other payment paid on the Subordinate Financing
out of Revenues from the Trust Estate after an Event of Default has occurred,
shall be held in trust by the Subordinate Lender for the benefit of Lender and
shall be paid over to Lender upon request if Lender has given the Subordinate
Lender notice of such Event of Default and the Subordinate Lender (i) has not
cured such Event of Default within ten (10) days after receipt of notice
thereof, or (ii) with respect to non-monetary defaults, (A) the Subordinate
Lender has not commenced action to remedy such Event of Default within thirty
(30) days after notice and (B) the Subordinate Lender is not pursuing such
remedial action to completion with due diligence, provided in each case that at
the time of such action by the Subordinate Lender the Borrower would be entitled
to cure the applicable Event of Default.
(C) The Subordinate Lender shall enter into non-disturbance agreements
with Space Tenants under Space Leases if Lender has entered into or, after the
date of the Subordinate Financing, Lender enters into such agreements with such
tenants.
(e) There shall exist at the time of such Subordinate Financing no
Event of Default nor any fact or circumstance, which with the passage of time,
giving of notice or action of third parties, could become an Event of Default
that is not then being cured in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents.
(f) The Subordinate Lender shall be an Institutional Lender at the time
of entry into the Subordinate Financing.
(g) With respect to any Subordinate Financing permitted hereunder and
approved by Lender pursuant hereto, Lender shall, upon request and at Borrower's
sole cost, enter into an agreement with the Subordinate Lender pursuant to which
Lender shall agree to provide the Subordinate Lender with (i) concurrent notices
of any notice of default which could
- 67 -
become an Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents, and (ii) an
opportunity to cure any such default within the applicable notice and grace
periods, if any, given to Borrower under the applicable provisions of any of the
Loan Documents.
Section 7.22. Transfers. Borrower will not cause, permit or suffer a
---------
Transfer, other than to a Permitted Transferee, a Subordinate Lender or a party
claiming by, through or under a Subordinate Lender (by virtue of foreclosure
sale or by accepting a deed in lieu of foreclosure) without the prior written
consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
For purposes of this Section 7.22, Lender shall consider, by way of illustration
and not in limitation, the following factors in its determination of granting
consent to any such Transfer: (i) the financial condition of the proposed
transferee; (ii) the general reputation in the community of the proposed
transferee; and (iii) the management and real estate experience of the proposed
transferee. For purposes of this Section 7.22, if Lender has not responded to
Borrower's request for approval or consent within ten (10) days following
receipt thereof, Lender's rights regarding prior approval or consent shall be
deemed waived; provided, however, Lender's right to consent or approve the
proposed transferee shall not be deemed waived if Lender has requested further
information concerning such proposed transferee as in its reasonable judgment is
necessary to evaluate Borrower's request. Lender shall have an additional ten
(10) day period following receipt of such additional information by Lender in
which to approve or disapprove the proposed transferee. If Lender has not
responded within the ten (10) day period referred to in the preceding sentence,
Lender shall be deemed to have waived its right to so consent.
Section 7.23. Reimbursable Expenses. Borrower shall reimburse Lender
---------------------
for all Out-of-Pocket Costs in connection with (a) the preparation, negotiation,
execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and all certificates, agreements,
instruments and opinions delivered in connection herewith and therewith, (b) any
amendment, modification or supplement to any of the Loan Documents or any
agreement or instrument delivered in connection herewith or therewith, (c) any
waiver of any provision of this Agreement, any of the Loan Documents or any
agreement or instrument delivered in connection herewith or therewith, (d) any
restructuring of the terms of any of the Loan Documents or any agreement or
instrument delivered in connection herewith or therewith, and (e) the
administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents or any agreement or
instrument delivered in connection herewith or therewith from and after the
occurrence of an Event of Default or following an acceleration of the Loan. All
of the foregoing expenses shall be reimbursed by Borrower whether or not Lender
gives notice to Borrower of such Event of Default under this Agreement or takes
any other action to enforce the provisions of any of the Loan
- 68 -
Documents or any agreement or instrument delivered in connection herewith and
therewith. Borrower shall pay any and all stamp and other taxes and fees
payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery,
filing, recording and enforcement of any of the Loan Documents or any agreement
or instrument delivered in connection herewith or therewith and shall save
Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or
resulting from any delay in paying or failure to pay such taxes and fees. All
amounts payable pursuant to this Section 7.23 shall be due and payable not later
than ten (10) Business Days following written demand by Lender, together with
interest thereon (i) if Lender has actually paid such amount, at the Prime Rate
(as defined in the Note) from the date of demand therefor through the date which
is ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor (the "Due Date"), and (ii)
whether or not Lender has actually paid such amount, at the Involuntary Rate
from the Due Date through the date of payment by Borrower. The obligation to
pay such amounts shall survive the repayment of the Loan and shall continue in
full force and effect so long as the possibility of any such liability, claims
or losses pursuant to this Section 7.23 exists.
Section 7.24. Preservation of Existence. Borrower shall, as long as
-------------------------
any part of the Loan remains unpaid, do all things necessary to preserve and
keep in full force and effect its existence, franchises, rights and privileges
as a partnership under the laws of the state of its formation and will comply
with all regulations, rules, statutes, orders arid decrees of all Governmental
Authorities applicable to the Trust Estate or any part thereof, subject,
however, to Borrower's right to contest such regulations, rules statutes, orders
and decrees pursuant to Section 1.11 of the Deed of Trust.
Section 7.25. Future Tenant Estoppel Certificates.
-----------------------------------
(a) From time to time during the Loan Term upon Lender's request,
but not more often than once each calendar year other than following the
occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall, within forty-five (45) days
following request by Lender, deliver to Lender estoppel certificates in the form
prepared by Lender with respect to all Qualifying Space Leases, which estoppel
certificates shall be executed by Borrower and each other party to the
appropriate Qualifying Space Lease, stating (i) that the Qualifying Space Lease
is unmodified and in full force and effect or, if modified, stating the
modification(s), if any, (ii) whether or not, to the best knowledge of each
party to such Qualifying Space Lease, any other party to such Qualifying Space
Lease is in default in any respect under such Qualifying Space Lease, and, if
so, specifying such default, and (iii) any other matters that may be reasonably
requested by Lender. If Borrower is unable to deliver any such estoppel
certificate to Lender
- 69 -
because, despite Borrower's reasonable efforts, the Space Tenant from whom it
has been requested has not delivered it to Borrower, Borrower shall deliver
Borrower's certificate to Lender as to the matters set forth in Clauses (i)-
(iii) and shall deliver the Space Tenant's estoppel certificate to Lender within
two (2) Business Days after receiving it.
(b) At any time during the Loan Term, Borrower shall, within ten
(10) days after request by Lender, execute and deliver Borrower's certificate
stating (i) that the Qualifying Space Leases are unmodified and in full force
and effect as modified, stating the modification(s), and (ii) that all rents due
under Qualifying Space Leases have been paid when due, or if not, specifying the
Qualifying Space Leases under which rents have not been paid when due.
Section 7.26. Use of Proceeds. Borrower will use the proceeds of the
---------------
Loan solely to pay Project Costs.
Section 7.27. Publicity. Promptly following the Initial Disbursement,
---------
Borrower shall, at its sole expense, publish in a publication of its choice a
"tombstone notice" of the Loan in form and substance mutually satisfactory to
Lender and Borrower.
Section 7.28. Name. Borrower shall not change its name without
----
Lender's prior consent.
Section 7.29. Consultants' Fees. Borrower shall pay all fees and
-----------------
expenses of Lender's Consultants which are reasonable and customary, such
obligation on the part of Borrower to survive the repayment of the Loan. After
a default by Borrower in the payment of any of the fees, costs and other
expenses of Lender's Consultants or after any Event of Default, Lender, in its
discretion, may pay such fees, costs and other expenses at any time by a
Disbursement for Soft Costs under the Loan or from any Completion Deposit and
Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to make such payments.
Section 7.30. Partnership Agreement; No Partnership Distributions.
---------------------------------------------------
Borrower shall not amend its agreement of limited partnership so as to limit the
authority of the current general Partner of Borrower to control and act for
Borrower, shorten the term of such agreement, modify the permitted purposes of
Borrower, or adversely affect either the ability of Borrower to perform its
obligations under the Loan Documents or the interests of Lender thereunder.
Borrower will not, without the prior written consent of Lender, make any
distribution of partnership assets or proceeds to any Partner of Borrower in
such Person's capacity as a Partner other than for reimbursement of actual
expenses incurred by a Partner of Borrower on behalf of Borrower, whether or not
such a partnership distribution is permitted under the terms of
- 70 -
Borrower's partnership agreement; provided, however, that so long as no monetary
default or Event of Default under the Loan Documents shall then exist or would
exist after giving effect to the proposed distribution, then (a) at any point
while the Loan is outstanding, Borrower, pursuant to Section 2.05 hereof, shall
be permitted to make one or more distributions from the Item designated in the
Project Budget as "Land Equity" in amounts totalling, in the aggregate, not more
than Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000), (b) upon termination of the Bid Protest
Guaranty in accordance with its terms, Borrower shall be permitted in accordance
with Section 2.05 hereof to disburse the amount remaining under the Item
designated in the Project Budget as "Land Equity" in accordance with the Project
Budget and Construction Schedule provided to Lender in connection with the Loan,
and (c) if Completion of Construction shall have occurred, then, to the extent
of Net Cash Flow excluding cash from the Loan, Borrower, not more frequently
than quarterly, may make distributions of partnership assets or proceeds (other
than Loan proceeds) to any Partner of Borrower. Nothing in this Section 7.30
shall prohibit Borrower's paying a development fee to a Partner or Affiliate of
Borrower, provided that such payment is pursuant to and in accordance with an
agreement heretofore approved by Lender or hereafter entered into with Lender's
approval, which approval shall not be withheld or delayed unreasonably provided
that the fee to be paid thereunder is within the amount of the Item established
therefor in the Project Budget.
Section 7.31. Space Leases. Borrower shall fully perform in a timely
------------
fashion all of its obligations under all Space Leases, including the Government
Leases.
Section 7.32. Tenant Improvements Schedule. Borrower shall provide to
----------------------------
Lender a Tenant Improvements Schedule immediately upon becoming available and in
any event prior to commencing construction of any Tenant Improvements.
ARTICLE VIII

-----------------
events shall constitute an "Event of Default" under this Agreement whether the
occurrence of such event shall be voluntary or involuntary or come about or be
affected by operation of law or otherwise:
(a) If any representation, warranty or statement made by (i)
Borrower herein, in any other Loan Document or any Request for Disbursement,
certificate, document, financial or other statement given by Borrower in
connection with the Loan,
- 71 -
or (ii) Guarantors in any of the Guarantees or any certificate, document,
financial or other statement given by Guarantors in connection with the Loan,
shall prove to have been untrue or incorrect in any material respect when made
and the existence of the facts constituting such untruth or incorrectness shall
have a material and adverse effect upon the value of the Trust Estate or
Lender's security for the Loan; or
(b) If any Lien or security interest created by any Loan
Document, at any time after the execution and delivery thereof and for any
reason, ceases or fails to constitute a valid, perfected and subsisting first
lien or security interest in and to the property purported to be covered
thereby, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions; or
(c) If the Project or any portion thereof is not completed in
substantial conformity with the Plans in an orderly and expeditious manner
substantially in accordance with the time references set forth in the
Construction Schedule or before the Completion Date, subject to the provisions
of Section 7.01, or is not, through Completion of Construction, free and clear
of mechanics', materialmen's and other Liens asserted by suppliers of labor,
services, equipment or material to the Project, subject to Borrower's rights
under the Deed of Trust to contest Liens; or
(d) If all or a substantial or material portion of the Trust
Estate is injured, damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty or damaged
thereby to an extent that would, in Lender's reasonable judgment, prevent or
preclude Completion of Construction in an orderly and expeditious manner and in
any event before the Completion Date; provided, however, that such damage shall
not constitute an Event of Default if Borrower shall be entitled to restore the
Trust Estate in accordance with the terms of the Deed of Trust; or
(e) If Borrower, in connection with the Bid Protest Litigation,
is enjoined or prevented by issuance of a stop work order or suspension of work
by any Governmental Authority or court of competent jurisdiction from
constructing the Project or performing its obligations hereunder and such
injunction, stop work order or suspension of work is not released or stayed (i)
within sixty (60) days after the granting thereof, or (ii) within an additional
period of time after such sixty (60) days, not to exceed an additional sixty
(60) days, upon the prior consent of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld if
Borrower demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender that such
injunction, stop work order or suspension of work will be released or stayed and
Lender in good faith determines that such injunction, stop work order or
suspension of work will not prevent or preclude Completion of Construction in an
orderly and expeditious manner and in any event before the Completion Date; or
- 72 -
(f) If all or a substantial or material portion of the Trust
Estate is condemned, seized or appropriated by any Governmental Authority;
provided, however, that if such a taking is a partial taking and Borrower shall
be entitled to restore the Trust Estate in accordance with the Deed of Trust,
such taking shall not be deemed to be an Event of Default; or
(g) If Completion of Construction shall not occur by the
Completion Date; or
(h) If a default by Borrower shall occur under the Architect
Contract, Construction Contract or any Space Lease (including the Government
Leases), which default Lender reasonably determines is likely to affect
Borrower's ability to complete construction of the Project before the Completion
Date, and, if such default is subject to cure, shall remain uncured on the date
that is the last day of the grace period applicable to such default; or
(i) If the General Contractor or any Architect shall fail to
perform or observe any term, covenant or agreement contained in the Construction
Contract or any Architect Contract, respectively, or in the consent signed by
the General Contractor or such Architect for the benefit of Lender and (i)
Lender has determined, in its reasonable judgment, that such failure would have
a material adverse effect on the Project or would prevent or preclude Completion
of Construction in an orderly and expeditious manner and in any event before the
Completion Date, (ii) such failure shall continue for a period of twenty (20)
calendar days from the date that notice of such determination is given to
Borrower, (iii) Borrower shall fail to submit to Lender the name of a proposed
successor General Contractor or Architect within twenty (20) calendar days
thereafter, (iv) Lender shall disapprove such proposed successor General
Contractor subsequent to such twenty (20) day period (provided that Lender's
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and (v) Borrower shall fail to
enter into a replacement Construction Contract or Architect Contract within
thirty (30) days after submission and approval of such replacement General
Contractor or Architect and such replacement Architect or General Contractor
shall fail to execute a consent in favor of Lender, in a form mutually
acceptable to Lender and such replacement Architect or General Contractor,
within such time period; provided, however, that if Lender fails to approve the
first successor General Contractor or Architect submitted by Borrower, then
Borrower shall have an additional ten (10) days between steps (iv) and (v) above
to submit the name of a second proposed successor General Contractor or
Architect and Lender shall have an additional ten (10) days after such
subsequent submission to approve such proposed successor; or
- 73 -
(j) The General Contractor or the Architect shall cease to act as
General Contractor or Architect for the Project, and (i) Borrower shall fail to
submit to Lender the name of a proposed successor General Contractor or
Architect within thirty (30) calendar days thereafter, or (ii) Lender shall
disapprove such proposed successor General Contractor or Architect subsequent to
such thirty-day period (provided that Lender's approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld) or (iii) Borrower shall fail to enter into a replacement
Construction Contract or Architect Contract within thirty (30) days after
submission and approval of such replacement General Contractor or Architect and
such replacement Architect or General Contractor shall fail to execute a consent
in favor of Lender, in a form mutually acceptable to Lender and such replacement
Architect or General Contractor, within such time period; provided, however,
that if Lender fails to approve the first successor General Contractor or
Architect proposed by Borrower, Borrower shall have an additional twenty (20)
days between steps (ii) and (iii) above to propose a second successor General
Contractor or Architect, which Lender shall expeditiously approve or disapprove,
and there shall be no Event of Default if Borrower enters into a replacement
Construction Contract or Architect Contract within thirty (30) days after
submission and approval of such second replacement General Contractor or
Architect; or
(k) If the Loan is not in balance and the Contractor or
Subcontractor for the Item or Items out of balance have not provided payment and
performance bonds as provided in Section 2.14 within thirty (30) days after
notice from Lender; or
(l) If Borrower shall fail to perform or observe any other
covenant, term or agreement on its part contained in this Agreement and not
otherwise provided for in this Section 8.01, which failure shall have continued
unremedied for thirty (30) days after notice thereof has been given to Borrower
by Lender, provided, however, that if in Lender's reasonable judgment the nature
of the failure referred to in this clause (1) is such that it is curable by
Borrower but cannot be cured within said thirty (30) days, then an Event of
Default shall not be deemed to have occurred hereunder so long as (i) Borrower
has commenced to cure said failure within said thirty (30) day period, and has
notified Lender of such commencement within said thirty (30) days, (ii) Borrower
thereafter proceeds with diligence to cure the same in Lender's reasonable
judgment, and (iii) sufficient progress is being made in curing such default, in
Lender's reasonable judgment; or
(m) If any Event of Default shall have occurred under any other
Loan Document and shall remain uncured under the terms of any other Loan

and such default shall remain uncured beyond the applicable notice and grace
period thereunder, if any; or
(o) If any of the Guarantees is not in effect, unless it has
lapsed pursuant to its terms, or the obligation to make payments of the
guaranteed obligations under any such guaranty is determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable; or
(p) The termination, liquidation or dissolution or the
commencement of proceedings towards the liquidation or dissolution of Borrower,
or a general Partner of Borrower or a general partner of a general Partner of
Borrower (unless immediately reconstituted pursuant to the provisions of its
partnership agreement or applicable law or in connection with a Transfer to a
Permitted Transferee); or

material and adverse change in the financial condition of Borrower or any
Guarantor which,' in the sole judgment of Lender, renders it unable to fulfill
its financial obligations as they become due; or
(r) If Borrower is unable to satisfy or cause the satisfaction of
any condition for the receipt of a Disbursement, or to resolve the situation to
the reasonable satisfaction of Lender, for a period in excess of thirty (30)
days after written notice from Lender; or
(s) If any certificate of occupancy or building permit for the
Project or any portion thereof is revoked, cancelled or otherwise ceases to be
effective; provided, however, that such revocation, cancellation or suspension
shall not be an Event of Default if, prior to Completion of Construction,
Borrower is diligently proceeding to cure such default, such cure may be
effected within the Project Budget or with a Completion Deposit, and the time
required to cure such default does not materially adversely affect Borrower's
ability to meet the Construction Schedule or adversely affect any of Lender's
collateral security for the Loan, and after Completion of Construction, such
revocation, cancellation or suspension shall not permit the GSA or other
contracting party to cease paying rent or making payments under the terms of the
Government Leases; or
(t) The GSA Building Lease shall have been terminated or
cancelled for any reason.
- 75 -
Section 8.02. Remedies.
--------
(a) If any Event of Default shall occur, all obligations of
Lender under this Agreement, including without limitation Lender's obligation to
make any further Disbursements, at the option of Lender, shall cease and
terminate, and Lender may declare the entire outstanding Loan, including
interest thereon and any other fees, costs and charges then payable under any of
the Loan Documents, immediately due and payable, whereupon the same shall become
immediately due and payable, without presentment, protest or further demand or
notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower; and,
upon such occurrence of an Event of Default or at any time following Lender's
declaration that the Loan is due and payable as provided above, Lender, in
addition to the foregoing, may immediately exercise any and all other rights,
remedies and recourse available to it at law or in equity or under this or any
of the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the right to sell
the Trust Estate and/or foreclose any and all liens and security interests
securing the repayment of the Loan under the Deed of Trust and the other Loan
Documents).
(b) Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender,
the Inspecting Engineer and/or any other independent contractor selected by
Lender as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power, of
substitution, for the purpose of performing Borrower's obligations in the name
of Borrower under the Loan Documents and completing construction of the Project,
whether or not substantially in accordance with the Plans (with such additions,
changes and corrections in the Plans as shall be necessary or desirable in
Lender's opinion to complete the Project), but Lender may act pursuant to this
power-of-attorney only after an Event of Default occurs. The foregoing power-of-
attorney shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until
payment in full of the Loans and all other sums due and owing to Lender under
any of the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
said attorney-in-fact is hereby empowered by Borrower to do any one or more of
the following:
(i) To use any funds of Borrower in Lender's possession and
any Disbursements not yet approved or disbursed hereunder, for the purpose of
completing the Project in the manner called for by the Plans or as provided in
clause (ii) below and all sums advanced hereunder and any other amounts expended
by Lender to complete the Project shall be deemed to have been advanced to or
for the account of Borrower pursuant hereto;
(ii) To make such additions, changes and correction in the
Plans as shall be necessary or desirable in
- 76 -
Lender's opinion to complete the Project as contemplated by the Plans;
(iii) To employ any contractors, subcontractors, agents,
architects and inspectors required for said purposes;
(iv) To employ attorneys to defend against attempts to
interfere with the exercise of the powers granted hereby;
(v) To pay, settle or compromise all bills and claims which
are or may be liens against the Premises or Project or may be necessary or
desirable for the completion of the Project or the clearance of title;
(vi) To execute all applications and certificates in the
name of Borrower which may be required by any construction contract;
(vii) To prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in
connection with the construction of the Project on the Premises and to take such
action, require such performance and do any and every other act as is deemed
reasonably necessary by Lender to complete the Project;
(viii) To let new or additional contracts with the same
contractor(s) or others to the extent not prohibited by their existing
contracts;
(ix) To employ watchmen and erect security fences to project
the Project from injury; and/or
(x) To take such action and require such performance as it
deems necessary under any of the bonds which may be, or insurance policies to be
or which have been, furnished hereunder, to make settlements and compromises
with the sureties or insurers thereunder and, in connection therewith, to
execute instruments of release and satisfaction.
(c) Without limiting any other similar rights herein granted,
from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower does irrevocably
permit and authorize Lender to advance any Disbursement directly to General
Contractor, Contractors, Subcontractors, materialmen, suppliers and other
persons to pay for the completion of the Project, but Lender is not under any
obligation so to do. No further direction or authorization from Borrower shall
be necessary to warrant such direct advances and all such advances shall satisfy
pro tanto the obligations of Lender hereunder as fully as if made to or for the
--- -----
account of Borrower regardless of the disposition thereof by any contractors,
materialmen, suppliers or such other persons. Lender may impose any condition
for such direct
- 77 -
payment including, but not limited to, receipt of estoppel certificates, waivers
of lien, releases and the like.
(d) Any and all costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees
and disbursements) incurred by Lender in pursuing its remedies hereunder and
exercising such power-of-attorney shall be additional indebtedness of Borrower
to Lender hereunder, and shall be secured by the Deed of Trust.
(e) Other than as may result from the negligence or willful
misconduct of Lender or its agents, servants or employees, Borrower does hereby
indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all liability,
claims, cost, damage, and Out-of-Pocket Costs which may be imposed upon or
incurred by Lender by reason of action taken by Lender hereunder, and from and
against any and all claims or demands whatsoever which may be asserted against
Lender by reason of any alleged obligation or undertaking on its part to perform
or discharge any of the terms, covenants and conditions of any obligation of
Borrower, to the extent same (i) arise during or relate to the period prior to
Lender's taking possession of the Trust Estate following the occurrence of an
Event of Default or (ii) arise during or relate to the period following Lender's
taking possession of the Trust Estate and involve the acts or failures to act of
Borrower or its agents, servants or employees. In case any action, suit or
proceeding is brought against Lender by reason of any such occurrence, as a
condition of Borrower's indemnity obligation under this Section 8.02(e), (i)
Lender shall give prompt notice to Borrower of any such action, suit or
proceeding, and (ii) Borrower may, at Borrower's sole cost and expense, resist
and defend such action, suit or proceeding by counsel reasonably satisfactory to
Lender and (iii) if Borrower elects to defend such action, suit, or proceeding,
Lender shall not compromise or settle any such action, suit or proceeding
without the consent of Borrower unless Borrower waives its right to the
foregoing indemnification. Lender may, however, engage its own counsel, at its
expense, to participate in said defense and in such case, the respective counsel
for Borrower and Lender shall cooperate with each other with respect thereto (it
being understood that at all times counsel for Borrower shall control such
defense) and shall provide each other with copies of all papers filed in such
case which, when practical, shall be delivered prior to filing thereof, or
otherwise contemporaneously with filing thereof, and with such other papers as
shall be reasonably requested by the other counsel which shall be delivered
promptly upon request therefor. All sums determined to be payable by Borrower to
Lender by reason of the foregoing indemnity pursuant to a non-appealable order
of a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be due and payable
- 78 -
