Loan or in satisfaction of the terms thereof and all statements of fact made by Borrower in
this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, are accurate, complete and correct in all material
respects. There has been no material adverse change in any condition, fact, circumstance or event

Borrower Principal, or (b) fail to provide documentary and other evidence of Borrower’s identity as
may be requested by any lender at any time to
26
enable any lender to verify Borrower’s identity or to comply with any applicable law or
regulation, including, without limitation, the Patriot Act. In addition, Borrower hereby agrees to

the value of the Property or the security for the Loan. Borrower will not, without the prior

levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof as the same become due and

long as Borrower complies with the terms and provisions of Section 9.6 hereof. Borrower shall
furnish to Lender receipts for the payment of the Taxes and the Other Charges prior to the date the

receipts for payment of Taxes in the event that such Taxes have been paid by Lender pursuant to

such reserve deposits as may be requested by Lender, to insure the payment of any such Taxes or
Other Charges, together with all interest and penalties thereon (unless Borrower has paid all of
the Taxes or Other Charges under protest). Lender may pay over any such cash deposit or part
thereof held by Lender to the claimant entitled thereto at any time when, in the judgment of
Lender, the entitlement of such claimant is established or the Property (or part thereof or
interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, canceled or lost or
there shall be any danger of the Lien of the Mortgage being primed by any related Lien.

affect Borrower’s condition (financial or otherwise) or business or the Property.

behalf of Lender in case of a Casualty or Condemnation affecting the Property or any part thereof)
out of such Awards or Insurance Proceeds.

income before and after debt service (principal and interest) and major capital improvements
for the period of calculation and containing appropriate year-to-date information, within

days after receipt thereof (and deliver to Borrower a reasonably detailed description of
such objections) and Borrower shall promptly revise such Annual Budget and resubmit the same
to Lender. Lender shall advise Borrower of any objections to such revised Annual Budget
within ten (10) days after receipt thereof (and deliver to Borrower a reasonably detailed
description of such objections) and Borrower shall promptly revise the same in accordance
with the process described in this subsection until Lender approves the Annual Budget.

Taxes, Insurance Premiums, utilities expenses and expenses under the Management Agreement.
(b) Upon request from Lender, Borrower shall promptly furnish to Lender:
(i) a property management report for the Property, showing the number of inquiries made

without limitation, any financial reports required to be delivered by any Tenant or any guarantor
of any Lease pursuant to the terms of such Lease), and shall furnish to
31
Lender and its agents convenient facilities for the examination and audit of any such books
and records.
(d) All items requiring the certification of Borrower shall, except where Borrower is an
individual, require a certificate executed by the general partner, managing member or chief
executive officer of Borrower, as applicable (and the same rules shall apply to any sole

(e) Without limiting any other rights available to Lender under this Loan Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents, in the event Borrower shall fail to furnish Lender any financial document
or statement in accordance with this Section 5.11 on or before the applicable date specified
herein, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender a non-refundable charge in the amount of $500 for
each such failure. The payment of such amount shall not be construed to relieve Borrower of any
Event of Default hereunder arising from such failure.

defaults thereunder on the part of any party, that none of the Rents have been paid more than one
month in advance, except as security, and that the Tenant claims no defense or offset against the
full and timely performance of its obligations under the Lease.
Section 5.13 Leasing Matters

existing Lease (a “Renewal Lease”)) without the prior written consent of Lender, provided such
proposed Lease or Renewal Lease (i) provides for rental rates and terms comparable to existing
local market rates and terms (taking into account the type and quality of the tenant) as of the
date such Lease is executed by Borrower (unless, in the case of a Renewal Lease, the rent payable
during such renewal, or a formula or other method to compute such rent, is provided for in the
original Lease), (ii) is an arm’s-length transaction with a bona fide, independent third party
tenant, (iii) does not have a materially adverse effect on the value of the Property taken as a

to any assignment of or subletting under any Leases not in accordance with their terms, without the
prior written consent of Lender.

provisions of any Lease or terminate, reduce Rents under, accept a surrender of space under, or
shorten the term of, any Lease (including any guaranty, letter of credit or other credit support
with respect thereto) provided that such action (taking into account, in the case of a termination,
reduction in rent, surrender of space or shortening of term, the planned alternative use of the
affected space) does not have a materially adverse effect on the value of the Property taken as a
whole, and provided that such Lease, as amended, modified or waived, is otherwise in compliance
with the requirements of this Agreement and any subordination agreement binding upon Lender with
respect to such Lease. A termination of a Lease with a tenant who is in default beyond applicable
notice and grace periods shall not be considered an action which has a materially adverse effect on
the value of the Property taken as a whole. Any amendment, modification, waiver, termination, rent
reduction, space surrender or term shortening which does not satisfy the requirements set forth in
this subsection shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender and its counsel (in each case not
to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), at Borrower’s expense. Borrower shall
promptly deliver to Lender copies of amendments, modifications and waivers which are entered into
pursuant to this subsection together with Borrower’s certification that it has satisfied all of the
conditions of this subsection.

Lease.
(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Borrower shall not, without the
prior written consent of Lender, enter into, renew, extend, amend, modify, waive any provisions of,

which notice shall specify with particularity the grounds for Lender’s determination. If Lender
reasonably determines that the conditions specified in Lender’s notice are not remedied to Lender’s
reasonable satisfaction by Borrower or Manager within thirty (30) days from the date of such notice
or that Borrower or Manager have failed to diligently undertake correcting such conditions within
such thirty (30) day period, Lender may direct Borrower to terminate the Management Agreement and

respect to the Property; (ii) reduce or consent to the reduction of the term of the Management
Agreement; (iii) increase or consent to the increase of the amount of any charges under the

class exemption) prohibited transaction under ERISA.

principal amount of the Note;
(viii) fail to maintain its records, books of account, bank accounts, financial
statements, accounting records and other entity documents separate and apart from those of
any other Person; except that Borrower’s financial position, assets, liabilities, net

worth and operating results may be included in the consolidated financial statements of
an Affiliate, provided that such consolidated financial statements contain a footnote
indicating that Borrower is a separate legal entity and that it maintains separate books and
records;
(ix) enter into any contract or agreement with any general partner, member,
shareholder, principal, guarantor of the obligations of Borrower, or any Affiliate of the
foregoing, except upon terms and conditions that are intrinsically fair, commercially
reasonable and substantially similar to those that would be available on an arm’s-length
basis with unaffiliated third parties;
(x) maintain its assets in such a manner that it will be costly or difficult to
segregate, ascertain or identify its individual assets from those of any other Person;
(xi) assume or guaranty the debts of any other Person, hold itself out to be
responsible for the debts of any other Person, or otherwise pledge its assets for the
benefit of any other Person or hold out its credit as being available to satisfy the
obligations of any other Person;
(xii) make any loans or advances to any Person;
(xiii) fail to file its own tax returns or files a consolidated federal income tax
return with any Person (unless prohibited or required, as the case may be, by applicable

foreseeable in a business of its size and character and in light of its contemplated
business operations;
(xvi) if it is a partnership or limited liability company, without the unanimous

voluntary or involuntary, to take advantage of any Creditors Rights Laws, (b) seek or

(b) If Borrower is a limited partnership or limited liability company (other than a
single-member Delaware limited liability company satisfying the requirements of Section 6.1(c)
below), each general partner in the case of a limited partnership, or the managing member in the
case of a limited liability company (each an “SPE Component Entity”) of Borrower, as applicable,
shall be a corporation whose sole asset is its interest in Borrower. Each SPE Component Entity (i)
will at all times comply with each of the covenants, terms and provisions contained in Section
6.1(a)(iii) — (vi) and (viii) — (xxi), as if such representation, warranty or covenant was made
directly by such SPE Component Entity; (ii) will not engage in any business or activity other than
owning an interest in Borrower; (iii) will not acquire or own any assets other than its
partnership, membership, or other equity interest in Borrower; (iv) will not incur any debt,
secured or unsecured, direct or contingent (including guaranteeing any obligation); and (v) will
cause Borrower to comply with the provisions of this Section 6.1. Prior to the withdrawal or the
disassociation of any SPE Component Entity from Borrower, Borrower shall immediately appoint a new
general partner or managing member whose articles of incorporation are substantially similar to
those of such SPE Component Entity and, if an opinion letter pertaining to substantive
consolidation was required at closing, deliver a new opinion letter acceptable to Lender and the
Rating Agencies with respect to the new SPE Component Entity and its equity owners.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent Borrower is a single member Delaware limited liability
company, so long as Borrower maintains such formation status, no SPE Component Entity shall be
required and the following subsection (c) shall apply.
(c) In the event Borrower is a single-member Delaware limited liability company, the limited
liability company agreement of Borrower (the “LLC Agreement”) shall provide that (i) upon the
occurrence of any event that causes the sole member of Borrower (“Member”) to cease to be the
member of Borrower (other than (A) upon an assignment by Member of all of its limited liability
company interest in Borrower and the admission of the transferee, or (B) the resignation of Member
and the admission of an additional member, in either case in accordance with the terms of the Loan
Documents and the LLC Agreement), the person executing the LLC Agreement as a “Special Member” (as
such term is defined in the LLC Agreement) (“Special Member”) shall, without any action of any
other Person and simultaneously with the Member ceasing to be the member of Borrower, automatically
be admitted to Borrower and shall continue Borrower without dissolution and (ii) Special Member may
not resign from Borrower or transfer
39
its rights as Special Member unless a successor Special Member has been admitted to Borrower
as Special Member in accordance with requirements of Delaware law. The LLC Agreement shall further
provide that (i) Special Member shall automatically cease to be a member of Borrower upon the
admission to Borrower of a substitute Member, (ii) Special Member shall be a member of Borrower
that has no interest in the profits, losses and capital of Borrower and has no right to receive any
distributions of Borrower assets, (iii) pursuant to Section 18-301 of the Delaware Limited
Liability Company Act (the “Act”), Special Member shall not be required to make any capital
contributions to Borrower and shall not receive a limited liability company interest in Borrower,
(iv) Special Member, in its capacity as Special Member, may not bind Borrower, and (v) except as
required by any mandatory provision of the Act, Special Member, in its capacity as Special Member,
shall have no right to vote on, approve or otherwise consent to any action by, or matter relating
to, Borrower, including, without limitation, the merger, consolidation or conversion of Borrower.
In order to implement the admission to Borrower of Special Member, Special Member shall execute a
counterpart to the LLC Agreement. Prior to its admission to Borrower as Special Member, Special
Member shall not be a member of Borrower.
(d) Upon the occurrence of any event that causes the Member to cease to be a member of
Borrower, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal representative of Member shall,
within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership
of Member in Borrower, agree in writing (i) to continue Borrower and (ii) to the admission of the
personal representative or its nominee or designee, as the case may be, as a substitute member of
Borrower, effective as of the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of
Member of Borrower in Borrower. Any action initiated by or brought against Member or Special
Member under any Creditors Rights Laws shall not cause Member or Special Member to cease to be a
member of Borrower and upon the occurrence of such an event, the business of Borrower shall
continue without dissolution. The LLC Agreement shall provided that each of Member and Special
Member waives any right it might have to agree in writing to dissolve Borrower upon the occurrence
of any action initiated by or brought against Member or Special Member under any Creditors Rights
Laws, or the occurrence of an event that causes Member or Special Member to cease to be a member of
Borrower.
Section 6.2 Change of Name, Identity or Structure
Borrower shall not change or permit to be changed (a) Borrower’s name, (b) Borrower’s identity
(including its trade name or names), (c) Borrower’s principal place of business set forth on the
first page of this Agreement, (d) the corporate, partnership or other organizational structure of
Borrower, each SPE Component Entity (if any), or Borrower Principal, (e) Borrower’s state of
organization, or (f) Borrower’s organizational identification number, without in each case
notifying Lender of such change in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of
such change and, in the case of a change in Borrower’s structure, without first obtaining the prior
written consent of Lender. In addition, Borrower shall not change or permit to be changed any
organizational documents of Borrower or any SPE Component Entity (if any) if such change would
adversely impact the covenants set forth in Section 6.1 hereof. Borrower authorizes Lender to file
any financing statement or financing statement amendment required by Lender to establish or
maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interest granted herein. At the
request of Lender, Borrower shall execute a certificate in form
40
satisfactory to Lender listing the trade names under which Borrower intends to operate the
Property, and representing and warranting that Borrower does business under no other trade name
with respect to the Property. If Borrower does not now have an organizational identification
number and later obtains one, or if the organizational identification number assigned to Borrower
subsequently changes, Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of such organizational identification
number or change.
Section 6.3 Business and Operations
Borrower will qualify to do business and will remain in good standing under the laws of the
State as and to the extent the same are required for the ownership, maintenance, management and
operation of the Property.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.2, the following transfers shall not be deemed to
be a Prohibited Transfer: (a) a transfer by devise or descent or by operation of law upon the

days prior written notice of such proposed transfer; Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 7.3, Gladstone Commercial Limited Partnership (or its successor by merger
or consolidation) shall continue to own, directly or indirectly, at least a 51% ownership in and
control Borrower.
Section 7.4 Lender’s Rights
Lender reserves the right to condition the consent to a Prohibited Transfer requested
hereunder upon (a) a modification of the terms hereof and an assumption of the Note and the
42
other Loan Documents as so modified by the proposed Prohibited Transfer, (b) receipt of
payment of a transfer fee equal to one percent (1%) of the outstanding principal balance of the
Loan and all of Lender’s expenses incurred in connection with such Prohibited Transfer, (c) receipt
of written confirmation from the Rating Agencies that the Prohibited Transfer will not result in a
downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or if higher, then current ratings issued in
connection with a Securitization, or if a Securitization has not occurred, any ratings to be
assigned in connection with a Securitization, (d) the proposed transferee’s continued compliance
with the covenants set forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the covenants in
Article 6) and the other Loan Documents, (e) a new manager for the Property and a new management
agreement satisfactory to Lender, and (f) the satisfaction of such other conditions and/or legal
opinions as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion to be in the interest of Lender. All
expenses incurred by Lender shall be payable by Borrower whether or not Lender consents to the
Prohibited Transfer. Lender shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its
security or any increased risk of default hereunder in order to declare the Debt immediately due
and payable upon a Prohibited Transfer made without Lender’s consent. This provision shall apply to
each and every Prohibited Transfer, whether or not Lender has consented to any previous Prohibited
Transfer. In the event an opinion letter pertaining to substantive consolidation was delivered to
Lender and the Rating Agencies in connection with the closing of the Loan, and if any Sale or
Pledge permitted under this Article 7 results in any Person and its Affiliates owning in excess of
forty-nine percent (49%) of the ownership interests in a Restricted Party, Borrower shall, prior to
such transfer, and in addition to any other requirement for Lender consent contained herein,
deliver a revised opinion letter pertaining to substantive consolidation to Lender reflecting such
Prohibited Transfer, which opinion shall be in form, scope and substance acceptable in all respects
to Lender and the Rating Agencies.
Section 7.5 Assumption
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 7, following the date which is six
(6) months from the Closing Date, Lender shall not unreasonably withhold consent to a transfer of
the Property in its entirety to, and the related assumption of the Loan by, any Person (a
“Transferee”) provided that each of the following terms and conditions are satisfied:
(a) no Default or Event of Default has occurred;
(b) Borrower shall have (i) delivered written notice to Lender of the terms of such
prospective transfer not less than sixty (60) days before the date on which such transfer is
scheduled to close and, concurrently therewith, all such information concerning the proposed
Transferee as Lender shall reasonably require and (ii) paid to Lender a non-refundable processing
fee in the amount of $10,000. Lender shall have the right to approve or disapprove the proposed
transfer based on its then current underwriting and credit requirements for similar loans secured
by similar properties which loans are sold in the secondary market, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld. In determining whether to give or withhold its approval of the proposed
transfer, Lender shall consider the experience and track record of Transferee and its principals in
owning and operating facilities similar to the Property, the financial strength of Transferee and
its principals, the general business standing of Transferee and its principals and Transferee’s and
its principals’ relationships and experience with contractors, vendors, tenants,
43
lenders and other business entities; provided, however, that, notwithstanding Lender’s
agreement to consider the foregoing factors in determining whether to give or withhold such
approval, such approval shall be given or withheld based on what Lender determines to be
commercially reasonable and, if given, may be given subject to such conditions as Lender may deem
reasonably appropriate;
(c) Borrower shall have paid to Lender, concurrently with the closing of such transfer, (i) a
non-refundable assumption fee in an amount equal to one percent (1.0%) of the then outstanding
principal balance of the Note, and (ii) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees, incurred by Lender in connection with the transfer;
(d) (i) Transferee shall have assumed and agreed to pay the Debt as and when due subject to
the provisions of Article 15 hereof and, prior to or concurrently with the closing of such
transfer, Transferee and its constituent partners, members or shareholders as Lender may require,
shall have executed, without any cost or expense to Lender, such documents and agreements as Lender
shall reasonably require to evidence and effectuate said assumption and (ii) if required by Lender,
a Person affiliated with Transferee and acceptable to Lender shall have assumed the obligations of
Borrower Principal under the Loan Documents with respect to all acts and events occurring or
arising after the transfer of the Property pursuant to this Section 7.5;
(e) Borrower and Transferee, without any cost to Lender, shall furnish any information
requested by Lender for the preparation of, and shall authorize Lender to file, new financing
statements and financing statement amendments and other documents to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, and shall execute any additional documents reasonably requested by Lender;
(f) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender, without any cost or expense to Lender, such
endorsements to Lender’s Title Insurance Policy insuring that fee simple or leasehold title to the
Property, as applicable, is vested in Transferee (subject to Permitted Encumbrances), hazard
insurance endorsements or certificates and other similar materials as Lender may deem necessary at
the time of the transfer, all in form and substance satisfactory to Lender;
(g) Transferee shall have furnished to Lender, if Transferee is a corporation, partnership,
limited liability company or other entity, all appropriate papers evidencing Transferee’s
organization and good standing, and the qualification of the signers to execute the assumption of
the Debt, which papers shall include certified copies of all documents relating to the organization
and formation of Transferee and of the entities, if any, which are partners or members of
Transferee. Transferee and such constituent partners, members or shareholders of Transferee (as
the case may be), as Lender shall require, shall comply with the covenants set forth in Article 6
hereof;
(h) Transferee shall assume the obligations of Borrower under any Management Agreement or
provide a new management agreement with a new manager which meets with the requirements of Section
5.14 hereof and assign to Lender as additional security such new management agreement;
44
(i) Transferee shall furnish an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lender and its
counsel (A) that Transferee’s formation documents provide for the matters described in subparagraph
(g) above, (B) that the assumption of the Debt has been duly authorized, executed and delivered,
and that the Note, the Mortgage, this Agreement, the assumption agreement and the other Loan
Documents are valid, binding and enforceable against Transferee in accordance with their terms, (C)
that Transferee and any entity which is a controlling stockholder, member or general partner of
Transferee, have been duly organized, and are in existence and good standing, and (E) with respect
to such other matters as Lender may reasonably request;
(j) if required by Lender, Lender shall have received confirmation in writing from the Rating
Agencies that rate the Securities to the effect that the transfer will not result in a
qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any rating initially assigned or to be assigned to the
Securities;
(k) Borrower’s obligations under the contract of sale pursuant to which the transfer is
proposed to occur shall expressly be subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of
this Section 7.5; and
(l) in the event a substantive non-consolidation opinion was required in connection with the
closing of the Loan, Transferee shall, prior to such transfer, deliver a substantive
non-consolidation opinion to Lender, which opinion shall be in form, scope and substance acceptable
in all respects to Lender and the Rating Agencies.
In connection with and as a condition precedent to Lender’s approval of any assumption and
transfer of the Property, except to the extent the new Borrower Principal in connection with any
such assumption has a net worth and liquidity equal to or better than the net worth and liquidity
of Gladstone Commercial Corporation as of the Closing Date, Lender reserves the right to require
any Transferee to post all cash deposits or letters of credit required or which, upon the
occurrence of certain events or conditions, could subsequently be required or which are otherwise
contemplated by the terms of any provision of this Agreement, irrespective of whether such events
or conditions have occurred such that the then current Borrower would be required to post such
deposits or letters of credit. Without limiting the foregoing, all letters of credit shall satisfy
the Letter of Credit Requirements.
A consent by Lender with respect to a transfer of the Property in its entirety to, and the
related assumption of the Loan by, a Transferee pursuant to this Section 7.5 shall not be construed
to be a waiver of the right of Lender to consent to any subsequent Sale or Pledge of the Property.
Upon the transfer of the Property pursuant to this Section 7.5, Borrower and Borrower Principal
shall be relieved of all liability under the Loan Documents for acts, events, conditions, or
circumstances occurring or arising after the date of such transfer, except to the extent that such
acts, events, conditions, or circumstances are the proximate result of acts, events, conditions, or
circumstances that existed prior to the date of such transfer, whether or not discovered prior or
subsequent to the date of such transfer.

(a) Borrower shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be maintained, at all times insurance for
Borrower and the Property providing at least the following coverages:
(i) comprehensive “special causes of loss” form of insurance (or its equivalent) on the
Improvements and the Personal Property (A) in an amount equal to not less than one hundred
percent (100%) of the “Full Replacement Cost,” which for purposes of this Agreement shall
mean actual replacement value (exclusive of costs of excavations, foundations, underground
utilities and footings); (B) written on a replacement cost basis and containing either an
agreed amount endorsement with respect to the Improvements and Personal Property or a waiver
of all co-insurance provisions; (C) providing for no deductible in excess of $25,000 with
respect to the Little Arch Property and $100,000 with respect to the AFL Property for all
such insurance coverage; (D) at all times insuring against at least those hazards that are
commonly insured against under a “special causes of loss” form of policy, as the same shall
exist on the date hereof, and together with any increase in the scope of coverage provided
under such form after the date hereof; and (E) if any of the Improvements or the use of the
Property shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses, providing
coverage for contingent liability from Operation of Building Laws, Demolition Costs and
Increased Cost of Construction Endorsements and containing an “Ordinance or Law Coverage” or
“Enforcement” endorsement. In addition, Borrower shall obtain: (y) if any portion of the
Improvements is currently or at any time in the future located in a “special flood hazard
area” designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, flood hazard insurance in an
amount equal to the maximum amount of such insurance available under the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood
Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended; and (z) earthquake insurance in
amounts and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender in the event the
Property is located in an area with a high degree of seismic risk, provided that the
insurance pursuant to clauses (y) and (z) hereof shall be on terms consistent with the

(ii) commercial general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily
injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Property, with such
insurance (A) to be on the so-called “occurrence” form with a general aggregate limit of not
less than $2,000,000 and a per occurrence limit of not less than $1,000,000; (B) to continue
at not less than the aforesaid limit until required to be changed by Lender in writing by
reason of changed economic conditions making such protection inadequate; and (C) to cover at
least the following hazards: (1) premises and operations; (2) products and completed
operations; (3) independent contractors; and (4) contractual liability;
46
(iii) loss of rents insurance or business income insurance, as applicable, (A) with
loss payable to Lender; (B) covering all risks required to be covered by the insurance

the Improvements and Personal Property occurs, the loss of rents or income, as applicable,
will be insured until completion of Restoration, or the expiration of eighteen (18) months,
whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of
such period; and (D) which contains an extended period of indemnity endorsement which
provides that after the physical loss to the Improvements and Personal Property has been
repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such income either returns to
the same level it was at prior to the loss, or the expiration of six (6) months from the
date that the Property is repaired or replaced and operations are resumed, whichever first
occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period. For
hotels, motels, health care, and other property types without a standard rent roll, the
amount of business income insurance required shall be not less than twenty-four (24) months
of debt service, taxes, insurance, and other fixed expenses. The amount of such loss of
rents or business income insurance, as applicable, shall be determined prior to the date
hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the
gross income from the Property for the succeeding period of coverage as required above. All
proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be
applied to the obligations secured by the Loan Documents from time to time due and payable
hereunder and under the Note; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be
deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured by the Loan
Documents on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note, this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the
proceeds of such loss of rents or business income insurance, as applicable;
(iv) at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are
being made with respect to the Improvements, and only if the Property coverage form does not
otherwise apply, (A) owner’s contingent or protective liability insurance covering claims
not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned commercial general
liability insurance policy; and (B) the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above
written in a so-called Builder’s Risk Completed Value form (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2)
against “special causes of loss” insured against pursuant to subsection (i) above, (3)
including permission to occupy the Property, and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement

(v) workers’ compensation, subject to the statutory limits of the State, and employer’s
liability insurance in respect of any work or operations on or about the Property, or in
connection with the Property or its operation (if applicable);
(vi) comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, if applicable, in amounts as shall
be reasonably required by Lender on terms consistent with the commercial property insurance
policy required under subsection (i) above;
47
(vii) excess liability insurance in an amount not less than $10,000,000 per occurrence
on terms consistent with the commercial general liability insurance required under
subsection (ii) above; and
(viii) upon sixty (60) days’ written notice, such other reasonable insurance and in
such reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such
other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar
to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located.
(b) All insurance provided for in Section 8.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable
policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject to
the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds.
The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to
do business in the State and having a claims paying ability rating of “BBB” or better by S&P and
“Baa2” by Xxxxx’x (or such other ratings promulgated from time to time by S&P and Xxxxx’x for
properties and transactions similar in type and size to the Property and the Loan) and/or a general
policy rating of “A” or better and a financial class of VIII or better by A.M. Best Company, Inc.
The Policies described in Section 8.1(a) shall designate Lender and its successors and assigns as
additional insureds, mortgagees and/or loss payee as deemed appropriate by Lender. To the extent
such Policies are not available as of the Closing Date, Borrower shall deliver to Lender prior to
the Closing Date an Xxxxx 28 or similar certificate of insurance evidencing the coverages and
amounts required hereunder and, upon request of Lender as soon as available after the Closing Date,
certified copies of all Policies. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of any
insurance coverage in place with respect to the Property, Borrower shall deliver to Lender an Xxxxx
28 or similar certificate, accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the
premiums due in connection therewith (the “Insurance Premiums”) and, as soon as available
thereafter, certified copies of all renewal Policies.
(c) Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of
coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as
would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section
8.1(a).
(d) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 8.1(a), except for the Policy
referenced in Section 8.1(a)(v), shall name Borrower as the insured and Lender as the additional
insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery,
flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing
mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.
(e) All Policies provided for in Section 8.1(a) shall contain clauses or endorsements to the
effect that:
(i) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any Tenant
or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy,
48
which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof,
shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;
(ii) the Policies shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage
provided thereby) or canceled by the insurer without at least thirty (30) days’ (ten (10)
days’ in the case of non-payment of premium) prior written notice to Lender and any other
party named therein as an additional insured;
(iii) the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the Policies have not
been renewed thirty (30) days prior to its expiration;
(iv) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any
assessments thereunder; and
(v) the Policies do not contain an exclusion for acts of terrorism or, solely with
respect to the AFL Property, certified acts of terrorism.
(f) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required
hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to
take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including,
without limitation, obtaining such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems
appropriate. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such
insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid,
shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
Section 8.2 Casualty
If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty
(a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly
commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property in accordance with Section 8.4,
to the extent Net Proceeds are made available by Lender or if Borrower is required to do so
pursuant to the terms of any Lease. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or
not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of
loss if not made promptly by Borrower. Borrower shall adjust all claims for Insurance Proceeds in
consultation with, and approval of, Lender; provided, however, if an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, Lender shall have the exclusive right to participate in the adjustment of all
claims for Insurance Proceeds.
Section 8.3 Condemnation
Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any
proceeding for the Condemnation of the Property of which Borrower has knowledge and shall deliver
to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may
participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to
49
Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its
expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys
and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings.
Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or
otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the
exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner
provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until
any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses
of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the
interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the
Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion
thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently
prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 8.4,
whether or not Lender makes any Net Proceeds available pursuant to Section 8.4. If the Property is
sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall
have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered
or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.
Section 8.4 Restoration
The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the Property:
(a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than $50,000 and the costs of completing the Restoration
shall be less than $50,000, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt,
provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4(b)(i) are met and Borrower delivers to
Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due
diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than $50,000 or the costs of completing the
Restoration are equal to or greater than $50,000, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for
the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4. The term “Net Proceeds” for
purposes of this Section 8.4 shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by
Lender pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(i), (iv), (vi) and (viii) as a result of a Casualty, after
deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel
fees), if any, in collecting the same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award
as a result of a Condemnation, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but
not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting the same (“Condemnation Proceeds”),
whichever the case may be.
(i) The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration provided that
each of the following conditions are met:
(A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
50
(B) (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than thirty
percent (30%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the Property has been
damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of a Casualty and the amount of
damage does not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the Property’s fair market value
immediately prior to the occurrence of such Casualty, or (2) in the event the Net
Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than fifteen percent (15%) of the land
constituting the Property is taken, such land is located along the perimeter or
periphery of the Property, and less than fifteen percent (15%) of the aggregate
floor area of the Improvements is taken and the taking does not exceed fifteen
percent (15%) of the Property’s fair market value immediately prior to the
occurrence of such taking;
(C) Leases covering in the aggregate at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the
total rentable space in the Property which has been demised under executed and
delivered Leases in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such Casualty or
Condemnation, whichever the case may be, and each Major Lease in effect as of such
date shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the
Restoration without abatement of rent beyond the time required for Restoration;
(D) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable
(but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such Casualty or Condemnation,
whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to
satisfactory completion;
(E) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all
scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note, which will be incurred
with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or
Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of the insurance
coverage referred to in Section 8.1(a)(iii) above;
(F) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or
before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2)
the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Leases or
material agreements affecting the Property, (3) such time as may be required under
applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or regulation, or (4) the expiration of the
insurance coverage referred to in Section 8.1(a)(iii);
(G) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in
compliance with and permitted under all Legal Requirements;
(H) the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious
and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;
51
(I) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss
of access to the Property or the Improvements;
(J) Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed
detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the
entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be reasonably
acceptable to Lender; and
(K) the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by
Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s reasonable judgment to cover the
cost of the Restoration.
(ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender until disbursements commence, and, until
disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4(b), shall constitute
additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net
Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time
during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that
(A) all the conditions precedent to such advance, including those set forth in Section
8.4(b)(i), have been satisfied, (B) all materials installed and work and labor performed
(except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in
connection with the related Restoration item have been paid for in full, and (C) there exist
no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of
intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the
Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and
discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by
the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Insurance Proceeds from the Policies required to be maintained by Borrower pursuant to
Section 8.1(a)(iii) shall be controlled by Lender at all times, shall not be subject to the
provisions of this Section 8.4 and shall be used solely for the payment of the obligations
under the Loan Documents and Operating Expenses.
(iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be
subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent
consulting engineer selected by Lender (in each case, such acceptance not to be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed) (the “Restoration Consultant”). Lender shall have the use
of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained
in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and
materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts in excess of $50,000 under
which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and
the Restoration Consultant (in each case, such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed). All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with
making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration, including, without limitation,
reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Restoration Consultant’s fees, shall be
paid by Borrower.
52
(iv) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in
excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place
as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Restoration Consultant, minus the
Restoration Retainage. The term “Restoration Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten
percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration,
as certified by the Restoration Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The
Restoration Retainage shall be reduced to five percent (5%) of the costs incurred upon
receipt by Lender of satisfactory evidence that fifty percent (50%) of the Restoration has
been completed. The Restoration Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything
to the contrary set forth above in this Section 8.4(b), be less than the amount actually
held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the
Restoration. The Restoration Retainage shall not be released until the Restoration
Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 8.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy
and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities,
and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have
been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Restoration Retainage; provided,
however, that Lender will release the portion of the Restoration Retainage being held with
respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the
date upon which the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor,
subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all
materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or
materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien
waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or
materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the
Title Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy
insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any
premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such
portion of the Restoration Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which
has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or
materialman.
(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more
frequently than once every calendar month.
(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in
the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Restoration Consultant, be
sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Restoration
Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower
shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further
disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with
Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in
connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the
Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this 0 shall
53
constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents.
(vii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the
Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Restoration Consultant certifies to
Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 8.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs
incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by
Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing
under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
(c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be
returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 8.4(b)(vii) may (x) be retained and
applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order,
priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, (y) at the sole
discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such
purposes and upon such conditions as Lender shall designate. If, pursuant to this Section 8.4,
Lender shall receive and retain Net Proceeds, (i) the lien of the Mortgage shall be reduced only by
the amount thereof received and retained by Lender and actually applied by Lender in reduction of
the Debt; and (ii) notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, Borrower shall not be required to
repair or restore the portion of the Property affected by such Casualty or Condemnation to the
condition or character the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation so
long as no Event of Default exists, but Borrower shall be required to remove all debris with
respect to the portion of the Property not required to be restored in a manner that is safe and is
not dangerous to health or other property and is in compliance with all applicable laws.
(d) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or other transfer of title to the Property in
extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to
the Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall
thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure, Lender or other transferee in the event of
such other transfer of title.
ARTICLE 9
RESERVE FUNDS
Section 9.1 Required Repairs
(a) Borrower shall make the repairs and improvements to the Property set forth on Schedule I
and as more particularly described in the Property Condition Report prepared in connection with the
closing of the Loan (such repairs hereinafter referred to as “Required Repairs”). Borrower shall
complete the Required Repairs in a good and workmanlike manner
54
on or before the date that is twelve (12) months from the date hereof or within such other
time frame for completion specifically set forth on Schedule I.
(b) Borrower shall establish on the date hereof an Eligible Account with Lender or Lender’s
agent to fund the Required Repairs (the “Required Repair Account”) into which Borrower shall
deposit on the date hereof the amount of $0.00. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred
to as the “Required Repair Funds.”
Section 9.2 Replacements
(a) On an ongoing basis throughout the term of the Loan, Borrower shall make capital repairs,
replacements and improvements necessary to keep the Property in good order and repair and in a good
marketable condition or prevent deterioration of the Property, including, but not limited to, those
repairs, replacements and improvements more particularly described in the Property Condition Report
prepared in connection with the closing of the Loan (collectively, the “Replacements”). Borrower
shall complete all Replacements in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as commercially reasonable
after commencing to make each such Replacement.
(b) Borrower shall establish on the date hereof a sub-account of the Cash Management Account
with Lender or Lender’s agent to fund the Replacements (the “Replacement Reserve Account”) into
which Borrower shall deposit on the date hereof $400,000.00 or, in lieu of such deposit, a letter
of credit satisfying the Letter of Credit Requirements and is otherwise acceptable to Lender. In
addition, Borrower shall deposit $4,852.33 per month for the term of the Loan (the “Replacement
Reserve Monthly Deposit”) into the Replacement Reserve Account on each Scheduled Payment Date. In
addition to the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposits, on or before the thirty-seventh
(37th) Scheduled Payment Date, Borrower shall provide the Lender with a letter of credit
from an acceptable lender in the amount of $400,000.00 that satisfies the Letter of Credit
Requirements and is otherwise reasonably acceptable to Lender. In the event the letter of credit
is not provided to Lender as and when required, the Lender shall, notwithstanding anything
contained in the Loan Documents to the contrary, retain and not release any funds from the Lockbox
Account, the Cash Management Account or any Reserve Account to the Borrower until the $400,000.00
has been collected. Lender reserves the right to require a future Borrower (if any) to post the
$400,000.00 in cash or in the form of a letter of credit satisfying the Letter of Credit
Requirements at the time of and as an additional requirement for the Loan assumption. Amounts so
deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as “Replacement Reserve Funds.” Lender may, in its
reasonable discretion, adjust the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit from time to time to an
amount sufficient to maintain the proper maintenance and operation of the Property. In the event
Lender shall at any time increase the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit, Borrower may, at its
election, request that Lender obtain, at the sole cost and expense of Borrower, a Property
Condition Report prepared by an engineer selected by Lender in its reasonable discretion, in which
case the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit shall be adjusted by Lender based on the results of
such report, provided that in no event shall such amounts be reduced below the initial amount of
the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit set forth in herein. If the Borrower fails to complete any
Replacement in a timely and proper manner or there is an Event of Default, the Lender may draw on
any letters of credit provided under this Section 9.2. Provided there is no
55
Event of Default and Borrower has completed all required Replacements in accordance with the
terms of the Loan Documents, the Lender shall release any letter of credit provided by the Borrower
under this Section 9.2.
Section 9.3 Tenant Improvements and Leasing Commissions
(a) Borrower hereby agrees to (a) perform, or cause to be performed, tenant improvements
required under any Lease entered into in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.13 of this
Agreement (collectively, the “Tenant Improvements”), and (b) pay the costs of leasing commissions
incurred by Borrower in connection with the leasing of the Property or a portion thereof
(collectively, “Leasing Commissions”).
(b) Borrower shall establish on the date hereof a sub-account of the Cash Management Account
with Lender or Lender’s agent to fund Tenant Improvements and Leasing Commissions (the “Leasing
Reserve Account”) into which Borrower shall deposit on the date hereof $0.00. The Borrower shall
also establish a sub-account of the Leasing Reserve Account for the AFL Property (the “AFL Leasing
Reserve Account”) and a sub-account for the Little Arch Property (the “Little Arch Leasing Reserve
Account”). In addition, Borrower shall deposit with Lender (i) into the AFL Leasing Reserve
Account any sums required to be deposited pursuant to the terms of Sections 10.2(c) and 10.3(c),
(ii) into the AFL Leasing Reserve Account or Little Arch Leasing Reserve Account, as appropriate,
any sum or termination fee payable to Borrower in connection with any Tenant’s election to exercise
any early termination option contained in its respective lease of space at the Property (the
“Termination Fee Deposit”) on the date of Borrower’s receipt thereof and (iii) into the Little Arch
Leasing Reserve Account any amounts received from the Tenant Letter of Credit. Amounts so
deposited into the Leasing Reserve Account or any sub-account and all other funds deposited therein
pursuant to Article 10 shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Leasing Reserve Funds.”
(c) The AFL Leasing Reserve Account shall be an interest-bearing escrow deposit account for
the reimbursement of approved market rate leasing commissions and tenant improvement costs for the
AFL Space at the Property. Provided that no Event of Default exists, amounts on deposit in the AFL
Leasing Reserve Account shall be released to Borrower not more than once per month for the
reimbursement of approved market rate tenant improvement and leasing commission expenses incurred
by Borrower in connection with the AFL Space at the Property leased by Borrower to an AFL
Acceptable Replacement Tenant (defined below) upon delivery by Borrower to Lender of evidence,
satisfactory to Lender, that the AFL Space at the Property has been partially or fully leased by a
tenant or tenants acceptable to Lender in its sole reasonable discretion (which shall include an
acceptable renewal of the current AFL Tenant) under a fully executed lease containing terms and
conditions that are acceptable to Lender, in its sole reasonable discretion, with market lease
terms and a lease term of not less than five (5) years at a rent equal or greater than $6.00 per
square foot (the “AFL Acceptable Replacement Tenant”), and Lender shall have received and approved
the following for the applicable AFL Acceptable Replacement Tenant space, (i) copies of paid
invoices and lien waivers, satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion, from all contractors
performing the tenant improvements to the space at the Property leased by such AFL Acceptable
Replacement Tenant, (ii) the receipt of an
56
acceptable estoppel confirming the terms of such lease and the occupancy of the AFL Acceptable
Replacement Tenant, (iii) if required by the Lender, receipt of a Subordination, Non-disturbance
and Attornment Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender executed by the AFL
Acceptable Replacement Tenant, (iv) delivery of evidence to Lender that such tenant has commenced
the payment of the first full month’s rent under such lease, (v) a final certificate of occupancy
for the tenant’s space and (vi) delivery of such other documents as Lender may reasonably require
(the items set forth in clauses (i) through (vi) are collectively referred to as the “AFL
Acceptable Replacement Tenant Requirements”). Notwithstanding the above, and provided that no
Event of Default exists, amounts on deposit in the AFL Leasing Reserve Account shall be released to
the Borrower not more than once per month in amounts not less than $50,000.00 per request for the
reimbursement of ninety percent (90%) of the market rate tenant improvement and leasing commission
expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with AFL Space at the Property leased by Borrower to a
single AFL Acceptable Replacement Tenant, and Lender shall have received and approved the following
for the applicable AFL Acceptable Replacement Tenant space: (a) copies of paid invoices and lien
waivers, satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion, from all contractors performing the tenant

improvements and the leasing commission agreement incurred by Borrower with respect to such single
AFL Acceptable Replacement Tenant exceeds $50,000.00 (the conditions in clauses (a) and (b) above
are collectively referred to as the “AFL Partial Release Provisions”). The funds for the
reimbursement of approved market rate tenant improvement and leasing commission expenses for AFL
Space incurred by Borrower for an AFL Acceptable Replacement Tenant that are not released under the
AFL Partial Release Provisions for the AFL Space will not be released until Borrower complies with
the AFL Acceptable Replacement Tenant Requirements above. Provided that no Event of Default
exists, upon the occupancy of 100% of the AFL Space by AFL Acceptable Replacement Tenants in
compliance with the AFL Acceptable Replacement Tenant Requirements, or the current AFL Tenant’s
extension of the AFL Lease in accordance with the terms of the AFL Lease for a period no less than
five (5) years beyond the current expiration date, all amounts remaining on deposit in the AFL
Leasing Reserve Account shall be released to Borrower.
(d) The Little Arch Leasing Reserve Account shall be an interest-bearing escrow deposit
account for the reimbursement of approved market rate leasing commissions and tenant improvement
costs for the Little Arch Space at the Property. Provided that no Event of Default exists, amounts
on deposit in the Little Arch Leasing Reserve Account shall be released to Borrower not more than
once per month for the reimbursement of approved market rate tenant improvement and leasing
commission expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with the Little Arch Space at the Property
leased by Borrower to a Little Arch Acceptable Replacement Tenant (defined below) upon delivery by
Borrower to Lender of evidence, satisfactory to Lender, that the Little Arch Space at the Property
has been partially or fully leased by a tenant or tenants acceptable to Lender in its sole
reasonable discretion under a fully executed lease containing terms and conditions that are
acceptable to the Lender, in its sole but reasonable discretion, with market lease terms and a
lease term of not less than five (5) years at a rent equal to or greater than the rent last paid by
the current Little Arch Tenant (the “Little Arch Acceptable Replacement Tenant”), and Lender shall
have received and approved the following for the
57
applicable Little Arch Acceptable Replacement Tenant space, (i) copies of paid invoices and
lien waivers, satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion, from all contractors performing the
tenant improvements to the space at the Property leased by such Little Arch Acceptable Replacement
Tenant, (ii) the receipt of an acceptable estoppel confirming the terms of such lease and the
occupancy of the Little Arch Acceptable Replacement Tenant, (iii) if required by the Lender,
receipt of a Subordination, Non-disturbance and Attornment Agreement in form and substance
satisfactory to Lender executed by the Little Arch Acceptable Replacement Tenant, (iv) delivery of
evidence to Lender that such tenant has commenced the payment of the first full month’s rent under
such lease, (v) a final certificate of occupancy for the tenant’s space and (vi) delivery of such
other documents as Lender may reasonably require (the items set forth in clauses (i) through (vi)
are collectively referred to as the “Little Arch Acceptable Replacement Tenant Requirements”).
Notwithstanding the above, and provided that no Event of Default exists, amounts on deposit in the
Little Arch Leasing Reserve Account shall be released to the Borrower not more than once per month
in amounts not less than $50,000.00 per request for the reimbursement of ninety percent (90%) of
the market rate tenant improvement and leasing commission expenses incurred by Borrower in
connection with Little Arch Space at the Property leased by Borrower to a single Little Arch
Acceptable Replacement Tenant, and Lender shall have received and approved the following for the
applicable Little Arch Acceptable Replacement Tenant space: (a) copies of paid invoices and lien
waivers, satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion, from all contractors performing the tenant
improvements to the space at the Property leased by such Little Arch Acceptable Replacement Tenant
and (b) evidence, satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion, that the contract for the tenant
improvements and the leasing commission agreement incurred by Borrower with respect to such single
Little Arch Acceptable Replacement Tenant exceeds $50,000.00 (the conditions in clauses (a) and (b)
above are collectively referred to as the “Little Arch Partial Release Provisions”). The funds for
the reimbursement of approved market rate tenant improvement and leasing commission expenses for
Little Arch Space incurred by Borrower for a Little Arch Acceptable Replacement Tenant that are not
released under the Little Arch Partial Release Provisions for the Little Arch Space will not be
released until Borrower complies with the Little Arch Acceptable Replacement Tenant Requirements
above. Provided that no Event of Default exists, upon the occupancy of 100% of the Little Arch
Space by Little Arch Acceptable Replacement Tenants in compliance with the Little Arch Acceptable
Replacement Tenant Requirements, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Little Arch Leasing
Reserve Account shall be released to Borrower.
(e) In the event the Little Arch Property is defeased and the lien of the Mortgage is released
against the Little Arch Property in accordance with Section 5.1(b) of the Note, then Borrower shall
deliver to Lender a letter of credit from an acceptable lender in the amount of $650,000.00 that
satisfies the Letter of Credit Requirements and is otherwise reasonably acceptable to Lender (i)
within five (5) days after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Management Period or
(ii) provided no Cash Management Period is then in effect, twelve (12) months prior to the Maturity
Date if the AFL Property is not fully leased by AFL Acceptable Replacement Tenants under Leases
extending not less than five (5) years after the Maturity Date. Such letter of credit shall be in
addition to and released, drawn on and disbursed in the same manner and to the same extent as funds
in the AFL Leasing Reserve Account.

Section 9.4 Required Work
Borrower shall diligently pursue all Required Repairs and Replacements and Tenant Improvements
(collectively, the “Required Work”) to completion in accordance with the following requirements:
(a) Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve all contracts or work orders with
materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or
materials in connection with the Required Work to the extent such contracts or work orders exceed
$50,000. Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall assign any contract or subcontract to Lender.
(b) In the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Required Work is not
being or has not been performed in a workmanlike or timely manner, Lender shall have the option to
withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory Required Work and to proceed under existing contracts
or to contract with third parties to complete such Required Work and to apply the Required Repair
Funds or the Replacement Reserve Funds, as applicable, toward the labor and materials necessary to
complete such Required Work, without providing any prior notice to Borrower and to exercise any and
all other remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default hereunder.
(c) In order to facilitate Lender’s completion of the Required Work, Borrower grants Lender
the right to enter onto the Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete
the Required Work and/or employ watchmen to protect the Property from damage. All sums so expended
by Lender, to the extent not from the Reserve Funds, shall be deemed to have been advanced under
the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Mortgage. For this purpose Borrower constitutes and
appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or
undertake the Required Work in the name of Borrower upon Borrower’s failure to do so in a
workmanlike and timely manner. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with
an interest and cannot be revoked. Borrower empowers said attorney-in-fact as follows: (i) to use
any of the Reserve Funds for the purpose of making or completing the Required Work; (ii) to make
such additions, changes and corrections to the Required Work as shall be necessary or desirable to
complete the Required Work; (iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects
and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all
existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against the Property, or as may be
necessary or desirable for the completion of the Required Work, or for clearance of title; (v) to
execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any of
the contract documents; (vi) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with
the Property or the rehabilitation and repair of the Property; and (vii) to do any and every act
which Borrower might do on its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Agreement.
(d) Nothing in this Section 9.4 shall: (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing
the Required Work; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Reserve Funds to make or
complete any Required Work; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with the
59
Required Work; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to make or
complete any Required Work.
(e) Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives (including, without
limitation, Lender’s engineer, architect, or inspector) or third parties performing Required Work
pursuant to this Section 9.4 to enter onto the Property during normal business hours (subject to
the rights of tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Required Work and all
materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to
such Required Work which are or may be kept at the Property, and to complete any Required Work made
pursuant to this Section 9.4. Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate
with Lender and Lender’s representatives or such other persons described above in connection with
inspections described in this Section 9.4 or the completion of Required Work pursuant to this
Section 9.4.
(f) Lender may, to the extent any Required Work would reasonably require an inspection of the
Property, inspect the Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a disbursement of the Reserve
Funds in order to verify completion of the Required Work for which reimbursement is sought.
Borrower shall pay Lender a reasonable inspection fee not exceeding $1,000 for each such
inspection. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent
qualified professional selected by Lender and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion
by an independent qualified professional acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of the
Reserve Funds. Borrower shall pay the expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether
such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional.
(g) The Required Work and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other item comprising a
part of any Required Work shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and
clear of all mechanic’s, materialman’s or other Liens (except for Permitted Encumbrances).
(h) Before each disbursement of the Reserve Funds, Lender may require Borrower to provide
Lender with a search of title to the Property effective to the date of the disbursement, which
search shows that no mechanic’s or materialmen’s or other Liens of any nature have been placed
against the Property since the date of recordation of the Mortgage and that title to the Property
is free and clear of all Liens (except for Permitted Encumbrances).
(i) All Required Work shall comply with all Legal Requirements and applicable insurance
requirements including, without limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits,
environmental regulations, and requirements of insurance underwriters.
(j) Borrower hereby assigns to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all
Persons supplying labor or materials in connection with the Required Work; provided, however, that
Lender may not pursue any such rights or claims unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains
uncured.
Section 9.5 Release of Reserve Funds
60
(a) Upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this
Section 9.5, Lender shall disburse to Borrower amounts from (i) the Required Repair Account to the
extent necessary to pay for or reimburse Borrower for the actual costs of each Required Repair (but
not exceeding 125% of the original estimated cost of such Required Repair as set forth on Schedule
I, unless Lender has agreed to reimburse Borrower for such excess cost pursuant to Section 9.5(f))
or (ii) the Replacement Reserve Account to the extent necessary to reimburse Borrower for the
actual costs of any approved Replacements. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in no event
shall Lender be required to (x) disburse any amounts which would cause the amount of funds
remaining in the Required Repair Account after any disbursement (other than with respect to the
final disbursement) to be less than 125% of the then current estimated cost of completing all
remaining Required Repairs for the Property, (y) disburse funds from any of the Reserve Accounts if
an Event of Default exists, or (z) disburse funds from the Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse
Borrower for the costs of routine repairs or maintenance to the Property or for costs which are to
be reimbursed from funds held in the Required Repair or for Tenant Improvements and Leasing
Commissions.
(b) With each request for disbursement, Borrower shall certify in writing to Lender that all
Required Work has been performed in accordance with all Legal Requirements and that all such
Required Work has been completed lien free and paid for in full or will be paid for in full upon
disbursement of the requested funds. In addition, each request for disbursement in excess of
$25,000 shall be on a form provided or approved by Lender and shall (i) include copies of invoices
for all items or materials purchased and all labor or services provided, (ii) specify (A) the
Required Work for which the disbursement is requested, (B) the quantity and price of each item
purchased, if the Required Work includes the purchase or replacement of specific items, (C) the
price of all materials (grouped by type or category) used in any Required Work other than the
purchase or replacement of specific items, and (D) the cost of all contracted labor or other
services applicable to each Required Work for which such request for disbursement is made, and
(iii) if requested by Lender, conditional lien waivers from each contractor, supplier, materialman,
mechanic or subcontractor with respect to the completion of its work or delivery of its materials.
Except as provided in Section 9.5(d), each request for disbursement shall be made only after
completion of the Required Repair or Replacement (or the portion thereof completed in accordance
with Section 9.5(d)), as applicable, for which disbursement is requested. Borrower shall provide
Lender evidence satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable judgment of such completion or
performance.
(c) Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to all Legal Requirements and shall
cover all work performed and materials supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for the Property
by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by
the current disbursement request.
(d) If (i) the cost of any item of Required Work exceeds $100,000, (ii) the contractor
performing such Required Work requires periodic payments pursuant to terms of a written contract,
and (iii) Lender has approved in writing in advance such periodic payments, a request for
disbursement from the Reserve Accounts may be made after completion of a portion of the work under
such contract, provided (A) such contract requires payment upon completion of such
61
portion of work, (B) the materials for which the request is made are on site at the Property
and are properly secured or have been installed in the Property, (C) all other conditions in this
Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, and (D) in the case of a Replacement, funds
remaining in the Replacement Reserve Account are, in Lender’s judgment, sufficient to complete such
Replacement and other Replacements when required.
(e) Borrower shall not make a request for, nor shall Lender have any obligation to make, any
disbursement from any Reserve Account more frequently than once in any calendar month and (except
in connection with the final disbursement) in any amount less than the lesser of (i) $10,000 or
(ii) the total cost of the Required Work for which the disbursement is requested.
(f) In the event any Borrower requests a disbursement from the Required Repair Account to pay
for or to reimburse Borrower for the actual cost of labor or materials used in connection with
repairs or improvements other than the Required Repairs specified on Schedule I, or for a Required
Repair to the extent the cost of such Required Repair exceeds 125% of the estimated cost of such
Required Repair as set forth on Schedule I (in either case, an “Additional Required Repair”),
Borrower shall disclose in writing to Lender the reason why funds in the Required Repair Account
should be used to pay for such Additional Required Repair. If Lender determines that (i) such
Additional Required Repair is of the type intended to be covered by the Required Repair Account,
(ii) such Additional Required Repair is not covered or is not of the type intended to be covered by
the Replacement Reserve Account, (iii) costs for such Additional Required Repair are reasonable,
(iv) the funds in the Required Repair Account are sufficient to pay for such Additional Required
Repair and all other Required Repairs for the Property specified on Schedule I, and (v) all other
conditions for disbursement under this Agreement have been met, Lender may disburse funds from the
Required Repair Account.
(g) In the event any Borrower requests a disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account to
pay for or to reimburse Borrower for the actual cost of labor or materials used in connection with
repairs or improvements other than the Replacements specified in the Property Condition Report
prepared in connection with the closing of the Loan (an “Additional Replacement”), Borrower shall
disclose in writing to Lender the reason why funds in the Replacement Reserve Account should be
used to pay for such Additional Replacement. If Lender determines that (i) such Additional
Replacement is of the type intended to be covered by the Replacement Reserve Account, (ii) such
Additional Replacement is not covered or is not of the type intended to be covered by the Required
Repair Account, (iii) costs for such Additional Replacement are reasonable, (iv) the funds in the
Replacement Reserve Account are sufficient to pay for such Additional Replacement and all other
Replacements for the Property specified in the Property Condition Report, and (v) all other
conditions for disbursement under this Agreement have been met, Lender may disburse funds from the
Replacement Reserve Account.
(h) Lender’s disbursement of any Reserve Funds or other acknowledgment of completion of any
Required Work in a manner satisfactory to Lender shall not be deemed a certification or warranty by
Lender to any Person that the Required Work has been completed in accordance with Legal
Requirements.
62
(i) If the funds in any Reserve Account should exceed the amount of payments actually applied
by Lender for the purposes of the account, Lender in its sole discretion shall either return any
excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to that Reserve
Account. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Reserve Funds are not or will not be
sufficient to make the required payments, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and
Borrower shall pay to Lender any amount necessary to make up the deficiency within ten (10) days
after notice from Lender to Borrower requesting payment thereof.
(j) The insufficiency of any balance in any of the Reserve Accounts shall not relieve Borrower
from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.
(k) Upon the earlier to occur of (i) the timely completion of all Required Repairs and any
Additional Required Repairs, if any, in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, as
verified by Lender in its reasonable discretion, or (ii) the payment in full of the Debt, all
amounts remaining on deposit, if any, in the Required Repair Account shall be returned to Borrower
or the Person shown on Lender’s records as being the owner of the Property and no other party shall
have any right or claim thereto.
(l) Upon payment in full of the Debt, all amounts remaining on deposit, if any, in the
Replacement Reserve Account and any letters of credit required pursuant to Section 9.2(b) hereof
shall be returned to Borrower or the Person shown on Lender’s records as being the owner of the
Property and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto.
(m) Upon the earlier to occur of (i) the completion of all Tenant Improvements and the full
performance by the leasing agent of its obligations with respect to any Leasing Commissions, as
verified by Lender in its reasonable discretion, or (ii) the payment in full of the Debt, all
amounts remaining on deposit, if any, in the Leasing Reserve Account shall be returned to Borrower
or the Person shown on Lender’s records as being the owner of the Property and no other party shall
have any right or claim thereto.
(n) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, funds in the Leasing Reserve
Account shall be disbursed in accordance with Section 9.3.
Section 9.6 Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds
(a) Borrower shall establish on the date hereof a sub-account of the Cash Management Account
with Lender or Lender’s agent sufficient to discharge Borrower’s obligations for the payment of
Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 hereof (the “Tax and Insurance
Reserve Account”) into which Borrower shall deposit on the date hereof $81,640.00 (which amount is
equal to the current annual Taxes and Insurance Premiums applicable to the Little Arch Property).
Except to the as provided in subsection (b) below, Borrower shall deposit into the Tax and
Insurance Reserve Account on each Scheduled Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender
estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months or such higher amount
necessary to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30)
days prior to the earlier of (i) the
63
date that the same will become delinquent and (ii) the date that additional charges or
interest will accrue due to the non-payment thereof, and (b) except to the extent Lender has waived
the insurance escrow because the insurance required hereunder is maintained under a blanket
insurance Policy acceptable to Lender in accordance with Section 8.1(c), one-twelfth of the
Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months
for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof or such higher
amount necessary to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at
least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above
hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds”). Except to the extent Borrower is in
compliance with subsection (b) below, Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds to
payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.4
and Section 8.1 hereof. In making any disbursement from the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account,
Lender may do so according to any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public
office or tax lien service (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance
Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate or into the
validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the
amount of the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance
Premiums pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole discretion,
return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax
and Insurance Reserve Account. In allocating any such excess, Lender may deal with the person
shown on Lender’s records as being the owner of the Property. Any amount remaining in the Tax and
Insurance Reserve Account after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower or the
person shown on Lender’s records as being the owner of the Property and no other party shall have
any right or claim thereto. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance
Reserve Funds are not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates
set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower
shall pay to Lender any amount necessary to make up the deficiency within ten (10) days after
notice from Lender to Borrower requesting payment thereof.
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 9.6(a) to the contrary,
(i) so long as (a) the AFL Tenant directly pays the real estate taxes due on the AFL
Property, (b) there exists no Event of Default under the Loan Documents, (c) the Borrower
provides the Lender with evidence that the AFL Tenant has paid the real estate taxes due on
the AFL Property before they become delinquent and (d) the AFL Tenant or its lease
guarantors or the parent of AFL Tenant or its lease guarantors maintains a Xxxxx’x rating
equal to or greater than Baa2, the Borrower shall not be required to make monthly deposits
into the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account for Taxes applicable to the AFL Property;
provided, however, in the event that at any time the foregoing requirements are not
satisfied, as determined by Lender in its discretion, the Borrower shall immediately
commence making monthly deposits into the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account for Taxes on the
AFL Property in amounts determined by Lender in its discretion;
(ii) so long as (a) there exists no Event of Default under the Loan Documents, and (b) the
Borrower provides the Lender with evidence that Borrower has paid or caused to
64
be paid the real estate taxes due on the Little Arch Property before they become delinquent,
the Borrower shall not be required to make monthly deposits into the Tax and Insurance
Reserve Account for Taxes applicable to the Little Arch Property; provided, however, in the
event that at any time the foregoing requirements are not satisfied, as determined by Lender
in its discretion, the Borrower shall immediately commence making monthly deposits into the
Tax and Insurance Reserve Account for Taxes on the Little Arch Property in amounts
determined by Lender in its discretion;
(iii) so long as (a) the Borrower is maintaining the insurance required under the Loan
Documents through a blanket insurance policy acceptable to the Lender, (b) there exists no
Event of Default under the Loan Documents, and (c) the Borrower provides the Lender with
evidence of its annual renewal of such blanket insurance policy thirty (30) days prior to
its scheduled expiration, the Borrower shall not be required to make monthly deposits into
the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account for Insurance Premiums; provided, however, in the
event that at any time a blanket insurance policy approved by the Lender is not in effect,
the Borrower shall immediately provide for either (a) an individual policy for each Property
complying with the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Documents and shall
immediately commence making monthly deposits into the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account for
Insurance Premiums in amounts determined by the Lender in its discretion or (b) a
replacement blanket insurance policy complying with the terms and conditions set forth in
the Loan Documents;
(iv) so long as (a) the AFL Tenant is maintaining the insurance required through an
insurance policy satisfying the requirements contained in the Loan Documents and such
insurance is otherwise acceptable to the Lender, (b) there exists no Event of Default under
the Loan Documents, (c) the Borrower provides the Lender with evidence of the AFL Tenant’s
annual renewal of such insurance policy thirty (30) days prior to its scheduled expiration
and (d) the AFL Tenant or its lease guarantors or the parent of AFL Tenant or its lease
guarantors maintains a Xxxxx’x rating equal to or greater than Baa2, the Borrower shall not
be required to make monthly deposits into the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account for
Insurance Premiums applicable to the AFL Property; provided, however, in the event that at
any time an insurance policy approved by the Lender is not in effect, Borrower shall
immediately provide for either (a) an individual policy for the AFL Property complying with
the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Documents and shall immediately commence
making monthly deposits into the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account for Insurance Premiums in
amounts determined by the Lender in its discretion or (b) a replacement blanket insurance
policy complying with the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Documents; and
(v) so long as (a) the Borrower is maintaining the insurance required through an insurance
policy satisfying the requirements contained in the Loan Documents and such insurance is
otherwise acceptable to the Lender, (b) there exists no Event of Default under the Loan
Documents, and (c) the Borrower provides the Lender with evidence of the annual renewal of
such insurance policy thirty (30) days prior to its scheduled expiration, the Borrower shall
not be required to make monthly deposits into the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account for
Insurance Premiums applicable to the Little Arch Property; provided, however, in the event
that at any time an insurance policy approved
65
by the Lender is not in effect, Borrower shall immediately provide for either (a) an
individual policy for the Little Arch Property complying with the terms and conditions set
forth in the Loan Documents and shall immediately commence making monthly deposits into the
Tax and Insurance Reserve Account for Insurance Premiums in amounts determined by the Lender
in its discretion or (b) a replacement blanket insurance policy complying with the terms and
conditions set forth in the Loan Documents.
Section 9.7 Excess Cash.
Borrower shall establish on the date hereof a sub-account of the Cash Management Account into
which Borrower shall deposit all Excess Cash on each Scheduled Payment Date during any Cash
Management Period (the “Excess Cash Reserve Account”). Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be
referred to as the “Excess Cash Reserve Funds.” Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, sums from the Excess Cash Reserve Account shall be disbursed to Borrower’s Account upon
the earlier to occur of (a) payment in full of the Debt or (b) the discontinuation of a Cash
Management Period. In the event a Cash Management Period occurs twice during the term of the Loan,
Borrower shall not be entitled to any disbursement of the amounts in the Excess Cash Reserve
Account during the remaining term of the Loan, the Cash Management Period shall continue, and
Borrower shall continue to be obligated to pay Excess Cash to Lender on each Scheduled Payment Date
until the Debt is paid in full.
Section 9.8 Operating Expenses; Extraordinary Expenses.
(a) Borrower shall establish on the date hereof a sub-account of the Cash Management Account
into which Borrower shall deposit, on each Scheduled Payment Date during any Cash Management
Period, funds sufficient to pay all Operating Expenses to be incurred for the following month in
accordance with the Annual Budget approved by Lender (the “Operating Expense Reserve Account.”
Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Operating Expense Reserve Funds.”
Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, sums from the Operating Expense
Reserve Account shall be disbursed by Lender to Borrower following receipt and approval of
Borrower’s written request for the payment of such Operating Expenses.
(b) Borrower shall establish on the date hereof a sub-account of the Cash Management Account
with Lender or Lender’s agent into which Borrower shall deposit, on each Scheduled Payment Date
during any Cash Management Period, funds sufficient to pay any Extraordinary Expenses for the
following month which have been approved by Lender (the “Extraordinary Expense Reserve Account.”)
Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Extraordinary Expense Reserve Funds.”
Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, sums from the Extraordinary Expense
Reserve Account shall be disbursed by Lender to Borrower following receipt and approval of
Borrower’s written request for the payment of such Extraordinary Expenses.
Section 9.9 Reserve Funds Generally
66
(a) (i) Except for the Interest Bearing Reserve Accounts, no earnings or interest on the
Reserve Accounts shall be payable to Borrower. Neither Lender nor any loan servicer that at
any time holds or maintains such non-interest-bearing Reserve Accounts shall have any
obligation to keep or maintain such Reserve Accounts or any funds deposited therein in
interest-bearing accounts. If Lender or any such loan servicer elects in its sole and
absolute discretion to keep or maintain any non-interest-bearing Reserve Account or any
funds deposited therein in an interest-bearing account, the account shall be an Eligible
Account and (A) such funds shall not be invested except in Permitted Investments, and (B)
all interest earned or accrued thereon shall be for the account of and retained by Lender or
such loan servicer.
(ii) Funds deposited in the Interest Bearing Reserve Accounts shall be held in an
interest-bearing business savings account and interest shall be credited to Borrower. In no
event shall Lender or any loan servicer that at any time holds or maintains the Interest
Bearing Reserve Accounts be required to select any particular interest-bearing account or
the account that yields the highest rate of interest, provided that selection of the account
shall be consistent with the general standards at the time being utilized by Lender or the
loan servicer, as applicable, in establishing similar accounts for loans of comparable type.
All such interest shall be and become part of the applicable Interest Bearing Reserve
Account and shall be disbursed in accordance with Section 9.5 above; provided, however, that
Lender may, at its election, retain any such interest for its own account during the
occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default. Borrower agrees that it shall include
all interest on Reserve Funds attributable to the Interest Bearing Reserve Accounts as the
income of Borrower (and, if Borrower is a partnership or other pass-through entity, the
partners, members or beneficiaries of Borrower, as the case may be), and shall be the owner
of such Reserve Funds for federal and applicable state and local tax purposes, except to the
extent that Lender retains any interest for its own account during the occurrence and
continuance of an Event of Default as provided herein.
(b) Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in, and assigns and
pledges to Lender, each of the Reserve Accounts and any and all Reserve Funds now or hereafter
deposited in the Reserve Accounts as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended
or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Accounts and the Reserve Funds shall constitute
additional security for the Debt. The provisions of this Section 9.9 are intended to give Lender
or any subsequent holder of the Loan “control” of the Reserve Accounts within the meaning of the
UCC.
(c) The Reserve Accounts and any and all Reserve Funds now or hereafter deposited in the
Reserve Accounts shall be subject to the exclusive dominion and control of Lender, which shall hold
the Reserve Accounts and any or all Reserve Funds now or hereafter deposited in the Reserve
Accounts subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Borrower shall have no right of
withdrawal from the Reserve Accounts or any other right or power with respect to the Reserve
Accounts or any or all of the Reserve Funds now or hereafter deposited in the Reserve Accounts,
except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
67
(d) Lender shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Borrower, without charge, an annual
accounting of each Reserve Account in the normal format of Lender or its loan servicer, showing
credits and debits to such Reserve Account and the purpose for which each debit to each Reserve
Account was made.
(e) As long as no Event of Default has occurred, Lender shall make disbursements from the
Reserve Accounts in accordance with this Agreement. All such disbursements shall be deemed to have
been expressly pre-authorized by Borrower, and shall not be deemed to constitute the exercise by
Lender of any remedies against Borrower unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
and Lender has expressly stated in writing its intent to proceed to exercise its remedies as a
secured party, pledgee or lienholder with respect to the Reserve Accounts.
(f) If any Event of Default occurs, Borrower shall immediately lose all of its rights to
receive disbursements from the Reserve Accounts until the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which
such Event of Default is cured to Lender’s satisfaction, or (ii) the payment in full of the Debt.
In addition, at Lender’s election, Borrower shall lose all of its rights to receive interest on the
Interest Bearing Reserve Accounts during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default.
Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may exercise any or all of its rights and
remedies as a secured party, pledgee and lienholder with respect to the Reserve Accounts. Without
limitation of the foregoing, upon any Event of Default, Lender may use and disburse the Reserve
Funds (or any portion thereof) for any of the following purposes: (A) repayment of the Debt,
including, but not limited to, principal prepayments and the prepayment premium applicable to such
full or partial prepayment (as applicable); (B) reimbursement of Lender for all losses, fees, costs
and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees) suffered or incurred by Lender
as a result of such Event of Default; (C) payment of any amount reasonably expended in exercising
any or all rights and remedies available to Lender at law or in equity or under this Agreement or
under any of the other Loan Documents; (D) payment of any item from any of the Reserve Accounts as
required or permitted under this Agreement; or (E) any other purpose permitted by applicable law;
provided, however, that any such application of funds shall not cure or be deemed to cure any Event
of Default. Without limiting any other provisions hereof, each of the remedial actions described
in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable exercise of
Lender’s rights and remedies as a secured party with respect to the Reserve Funds and shall not in
any event be deemed to constitute a setoff or a foreclosure of a statutory banker’s lien. Nothing
in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Reserve Funds to effect
a cure of any Event of Default, or to pay the Debt, or in any specific order of priority. The
exercise of any or all of Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any of the
other Loan Documents shall not in any way prejudice or affect Lender’s right to initiate and
complete a foreclosure under the Mortgage.
(g) The Reserve Funds shall not constitute escrow or trust funds and may be commingled with
other monies held by Lender. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, Lender may
commingle in one or more Eligible Accounts (i) any and all funds controlled by Lender, including,
without limitation, funds pledged in favor of Lender by other borrowers, whether for the same
purposes as the Reserve Accounts or otherwise. Without
68
limiting any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Reserve
Accounts may be established and held in such name or names as Lender or its loan servicer, as agent
for Lender, shall deem appropriate, including, without limitation, in the name of Lender or such
loan servicer as agent for Lender. In the case of any Reserve Account which is held in a
commingled account, Lender or its loan servicer, as applicable, shall maintain records sufficient
to enable it to determine at all times which portion of such account is related to the Loan. The
Reserve Accounts are solely for the protection of Lender. With respect to the Reserve Accounts,
Lender shall have no responsibility beyond the allowance of due credit for the sums actually
received by Lender or beyond the reimbursement or payment of the costs and expenses for which such
accounts were established in accordance with their terms. Upon assignment of the Loan by Lender,
any Reserve Funds shall be turned over to the assignee and, provided such assignee assumes all
obligations in connection therewith, any responsibility of Lender as assignor shall terminate. The
requirements of this Agreement concerning the Reserve Accounts in no way supersede, limit or waive
any other rights or obligations of the parties under any of the Loan Documents or under applicable
law.
(h) Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge,
assign or grant any security interest in the Reserve Accounts or the Reserve Funds deposited
therein or permit any Lien to attach thereto, except for the security interest granted in this
Section 9.9, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements, except those naming
Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.
(i) Borrower will maintain the security interest created by this Section 9.9 as a first
priority perfected security interest and will defend the right, title and interest of Lender in and
to the Reserve Accounts and the Reserve Funds against the claims and demands of all Persons
whomsoever. At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Lender, and at the sole
expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly and duly execute and deliver such further instruments
and documents and will take such further actions as Lender reasonably may request for the purpose
of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein
granted.
(j) Lender shall be protected in acting upon any notice, resolution, request, consent, order,
certificate, report, opinion, bond or other paper, document or signature believed by Lender to be
genuine, and it may be assumed conclusively that any Person purporting to give any of the foregoing
in connection with the Reserve Account’s has been duly authorized to do so. Lender may consult
with counsel, and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and
protection in respect of any action taken or suffered by them hereunder and in good faith in
accordance therewith. Lender shall not be liable to Borrower for any act or omission done or
omitted to be done by Lender in reliance upon any instruction, direction or certification received
by Lender and without gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(k) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, Lender shall not have any
duty as to any Reserve Funds in its possession or control as agent therefor or bailee thereof or
any income thereon or the preservation of rights against any person or otherwise with respect
thereto. In no event shall Lender or its Affiliates, agents, employees or bailees, be liable or
responsible for any loss or damage to any of the Reserve Funds, or for any diminution in value
69
thereof, by reason of the act or omission of Lender, except to the extent that such loss or
damage results from Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or intentional nonperformance
by Lender of its obligations under this Agreement.
Section 9.10 Tenant Letter of Credit
(a) Pursuant to the terms of the Little Arch Lease, the Little Arch Tenant has provided
Borrower with a Standby Letter of Credit No. L055074 in the amount of $950,000.00 issued by Regions
Bank (together with all modifications, renewals, replacements and substitutions therefor, the
“Tenant Letter of Credit”) for the benefit of Little Arch. Borrower shall enforce and comply with
the Letter of Credit and all provisions of the Little Arch Lease relating to the Tenant Letter of
Credit.
(b) Upon the occurrence of any event or circumstance permitting Borrower to draw on the Tenant
Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of the Little Arch Lease, Borrower shall promptly
draw on the Tenant Letter of Credit and deposit all proceeds thereof directly into the Little Arch
Leasing Reserve Account to be disbursed in accordance with the terms thereof.
(c) As additional collateral for the Loan, Borrower hereby assigns to Lender and grants Lender
a security interest in all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Tenant Letter of
Credit and all proceeds thereof and all accounts into which any proceeds of the Tenant Letter of
Credit are from time to time deposited, including, without limitation, the Little Arch Leasing

collateral assignment and security interest and direct such issuer to make payment directly to the
Little Arch Leasing Reserve Account in the event any draw is made on the Tenant Letter of Credit.

issuer of the Tenant Letter of Credit. Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Lender harmless from
and against any liability, loss or damage which Lender, its directors, officers, agents and other
representatives may from time to time incur as a result of any claims or demands arising out of or
in any way connected with the matters contemplated by this Section 9.10.
ARTICLE 10
CASH MANAGEMENT
Section 10.1 Lockbox Account and Cash Management Account
70
(a) After a Lockbox Event, Borrower shall promptly deliver to the Lender a fully executed
Lockbox Agreement and, pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement, shall maintain a non-interest bearing
Eligible Account into which Borrower shall, and shall cause Manager to, deposit or cause to be
deposited, all Rents and other revenue from the Property (such account, all funds at any time on
deposit therein and any proceeds, replacements or substitutions of such account or funds therein,
are referred to herein as the “Lockbox Account”). Borrower acknowledges and confirms that Borrower
has established, and Borrower covenants that it shall maintain, an interest bearing Eligible
Account into which Rents, or, after a Lockbox Event, funds in the Lockbox Account, shall be
transferred pursuant to the terms of Section 10.2 or 10.3, as applicable (such account, the
sub-accounts thereof, all funds at any time on deposit therein and any proceeds, replacements or
substitutions of such account or funds therein, are referred to herein as the “Cash Management
Account”).
(b) The Lockbox Account and Cash Management Account shall each be in the name of Borrower for
the benefit of Lender, provided that Borrower shall be the owner of all funds on deposit in such
accounts for federal and applicable state and local tax purposes (except to the extent Lender
retains any interest earned on the Cash Management Account for its own account following the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default). Sums on deposit in the Cash
Management Account shall not be invested except in such Permitted Investments as determined and
directed by Lender and all income earned thereon shall be the income of Borrower and be applied to
and become part of the Cash Management Account, to be disbursed in accordance with this Article 10.
Neither Lockbox Bank nor Lender shall have any liability for any loss resulting from the
investment of funds in Permitted Investments in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.
(c) The Lockbox Account and Cash Management Account shall be subject to the exclusive dominion
and control of Lender and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, neither Borrower, Manager
nor any other party claiming on behalf of, or through, Borrower or Manager, shall have any right of
withdrawal therefrom or any other right or power with respect thereto.
(d) Borrower agrees to pay the customary fees and expenses of Deposit Bank (incurred in
connection with maintaining the Lockbox Account) and Lender (incurred in connection with
maintaining the Lockbox Account) and any successors thereto in connection therewith, as separately
agreed by them from time to time.
(e) Lender shall be responsible for the performance only of such duties with respect to the
Cash Management Account as are specifically set forth herein, and no duty shall be implied from any
provision hereof. Lender shall not be under any obligation or duty to perform any act which would
involve it in expense or liability or to institute or defend any suit in respect hereof, or to
advance any of its own monies. Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender and its directors,
employees, officers and agents harmless from and against any loss, cost or damage (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by such parties in
connection with the Cash Management Account other than such as result from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of Lender or intentional nonperformance by Lender of its obligations under this
Agreement.
71
Section 10.2 Deposits and Withdrawals
(a) Prior to a Lockbox Event, Borrower represents, warrants and covenants that:
(i) Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Borrower shall notify and advise
each Tenant under each Lease (whether such Lease is presently effective or executed after
the date hereof) to send directly to the Cash Management Account all payments of Rents or
any other item payable under such Leases pursuant to an instruction letter in the form of
Exhibit B attached hereto (a “Tenant Direction Letter”). If Borrower fails to provide any
such notice (and without prejudice to Lender’s rights with respect to such default), Lender
shall have the right, and Borrower hereby grants to Lender a power of attorney (which power
of attorney shall be coupled with an interest and irrevocable so long as any portion of the
Debt remains outstanding), to sign and deliver a Tenant Direction Letter;
(ii) Borrower shall, and shall cause Manager to, instruct all Persons that maintain
open accounts with Borrower or Manager with respect to the Property or with whom Borrower or
Manager does business on an “accounts receivable” basis with respect to the Property to
deliver all payments due under such accounts to the Cash Management Account. Neither
Borrower nor Manager shall direct any such Person to make payments due under such accounts
in any other manner;
(iii) All Rents or other income from the Property shall (A) be deemed additional
security for payment of the Debt and shall be held in trust for the benefit, and as the
property, of Lender, (B) not be commingled with any other funds or property of Borrower or
Manager, and (C) if received by Borrower or Manager notwithstanding the delivery of a Tenant
Direction Letter, be deposited in the Lockbox Account within one (1) Business Day of
receipt;
(iv) Without the prior written consent of Lender, so long as any portion of the Debt
remains outstanding, except as provided in Section 10.3 hereof, neither Borrower nor Manager
shall terminate, amend, revoke or modify any Tenant Direction Letter in any manner
whatsoever or direct or cause any Tenant to pay any amount in any manner other than as
provided in the related Tenant Direction Letter; and
(v) So long as any portion of the Debt remains outstanding, neither Borrower, Manager
nor any other Person shall open or maintain any accounts other than the Cash Management
Account into which revenues from the ownership and operation of the Property are deposited.
The foregoing shall not prohibit Borrower from utilizing one or more separate accounts for
the disbursement or retention of funds that have been transferred to Borrower pursuant to
the express terms of this Agreement.
(b) Provided no Event of Default has occurred, and provided Borrower has provided the letter
of credit required by Section 9.2, at all times other than during a Cash Management Period,
Borrower shall have the sole right to withdraw funds on deposit in the Cash Management
72
Account and may do so on a monthly basis. Upon the commencement of a Cash Management Period,
the occurrence of an Event of Default or the Borrower’s failure to provide the letter of credit
required by Section 9.2, (i) all rights of Borrower to the withdrawal of funds from the Cash
Management Account shall immediately cease and be automatically vested with Lender, and (ii) all
collected and available balances in the Cash Management Account shall be held until disbursed by
Lender pursuant to Section 10.2(c).
(c) On each Scheduled Payment Date (and if such day is not a Business Day, then the
immediately preceding day which is a Business Day) commencing the month immediately following the
month during which the Borrower no longer has a right to withdraw funds from the Cash Management
Account, Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to withdraw or allocate to the sub-accounts
of the Cash Management Account, as the case may be, amounts received in the Cash Management
Account, in each case to the extent that sufficient funds remain therefor:
(i) funds sufficient to pay the monthly deposits to the Tax and Insurance
Reserve Account shall be allocated to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account to be
held and disbursed in accordance with Section 9.6;
(ii) funds sufficient to pay the Monthly Payment Amount shall be withdrawn and
paid to Lender;
(iii) funds sufficient to pay the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit and the
amounts necessary to replace the letter of credit to the extent the Borrower failed
to provide the letter of credit required by Section 9.2 shall be allocated to the
Replacement Reserve Account to be held and disbursed in accordance with Section 9.5;
(iv) Termination Fee Deposits shall be allocated to the Leasing Reserve Account
to be held and disbursed in accordance with Section 9.3;
(v) funds sufficient to pay any interest accruing at the Default Rate, late
payment charges, if any, and any other sums due and payable to Lender under any of
the Loan Documents, shall be withdrawn and paid to Lender and applied against such
items;
(vi) funds sufficient to pay Operating Expenses (to the extent actually
incurred) for the following month in accordance with the related Annual Budget shall
be allocated to the Operating Expense Reserve Account to be held in accordance with
Section 9.8;
(vii) funds sufficient to pay any Extraordinary Expenses for the following
month which have been approved by Lender shall be allocated to the Extraordinary
Expense Account to be held and disbursed in accordance with Section 9.8; and
73
(viii) funds in an amount equal to the balance (if any) remaining on deposit in
the Cash Management Account after the foregoing withdrawals and allocations shall be
transferred to (A) during the Cash Management Period, the AFL Leasing Reserve
Account and (B) after the end of the Cash Management Period, and provided there is
no Event of Default, such funds shall be transferred to the Borrower’s Account.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Borrower acknowledges that Borrower is
responsible for monitoring the sufficiency of funds deposited in the Cash Management Account and
that Borrower is liable for any deficiency in available funds, irrespective of whether Borrower has
received any account statement, notice or demand from Lender or Lender’s servicer. If the amount
on deposit in the Cash Management Account is insufficient to make all of the withdrawals and
allocations described in Section 10.2(c)(i) through (vi) above, Borrower shall deposit such
deficiency into the Cash Management Account within five (5) days (provided that such five day
period shall not constitute a grace period for any default or Event of Default under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document based on a failure to satisfy any monetary obligation provided in any
Loan Document).
(e) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower hereby irrevocably
authorizes Lender to make any and all withdrawals from the Cash Management Account and transfers
between any of the Reserve Accounts as Lender shall determine in Lender’s sole and absolute
discretion and Lender may use all funds contained in any such accounts for any purpose, including
but not limited to repayment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may
determine in its sole and absolute discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply funds as
stated herein shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this
Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.
Section 10.3 Deposits and Withdrawals After a Lockbox Event
(a) After a Lockbox Event, Borrower represents, warrants and covenants that:
(i) Concurrently with the occurrence of a Lockbox Event, Borrower shall notify and
advise each Tenant under each Lease (whether such Lease is presently effective or executed
after the date hereof) to send directly to the Lockbox all payments of Rents or any other
item payable under such Leases pursuant to a Tenant Direction Letter. If Borrower fails to
provide any such notice (and without prejudice to Lender’s rights with respect to such
default), Lender shall have the right, and Borrower hereby grants to Lender a power of
attorney (which power of attorney shall be coupled with an interest and irrevocable so long
as any portion of the Debt remains outstanding), to sign and deliver a Tenant Direction
Letter;
(ii) Borrower shall, and shall cause Manager to, instruct all Persons that maintain
open accounts with Borrower or Manager with respect to the Property or with whom Borrower or

deliver all payments due under such accounts to the Lockbox Account.
74
Neither Borrower nor Manager shall direct any such Person to make payments due under
such accounts in any other manner;
(iii) All Rents or other income from the Property shall (A) be deemed additional
security for payment of the Debt and shall be held in trust for the benefit, and as the
property, of Lender, (B) not be commingled with any other funds or property of Borrower or
Manager, and (C) if received by Borrower or Manager notwithstanding the delivery of a Tenant
Direction Letter, be deposited in the Lockbox Account within one (1) day of receipt;
(iv) Without the prior written consent of Lender, so long as any portion of the Debt
remains outstanding, neither Borrower nor Manager shall terminate, amend, revoke or modify
any Tenant Direction Letter in any manner whatsoever or direct or cause any Tenant to pay
any amount in any manner other than as provided in the related Tenant Direction Letter; and
(v) So long as any portion of the Debt remains outstanding, neither Borrower, Manager
nor any other Person shall open or maintain any accounts other than the Lockbox Account into
which revenues from the ownership and operation of the Property are deposited. The
foregoing shall not prohibit Borrower from utilizing one or more separate accounts for the
disbursement or retention of funds that have been transferred to Borrower pursuant to the
express terms of this Agreement.
(b) Provided no Event of Default has occurred, and provided Borrower has provided the letter
of credit required by Section 9.2, at all times Borrower shall have the sole right to withdraw
funds on deposit in the Lockbox Account and may do so from time to time. Upon receipt of notice
pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement by Lockbox Bank of the occurrence of an Event of Default or the
Borrower’s failure to provide the letter of credit required by Section 9.2, (i) all rights of
Borrower to the withdrawal of funds from the Lockbox Account shall immediately cease and be
automatically vested with Lender, and (ii) Lender shall have the right to transfer, or cause to be
transferred, and Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to transfer, or cause to be
transferred, and Lender shall transfer, on each Business Day by wire transfer or other method of
transfer mutually agreeable to Lockbox Bank and Lender of immediately available funds, all
collected and available balances in the Lockbox Account to the Cash Management Account to be held
until disbursed by Lender pursuant to Section 10.3(c). Provided no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, all rights of Lender to the withdrawal of funds from the Lockbox Account shall
immediately cease and be automatically vested with Borrower upon the earlier to occur of payment in
full of the Debt or the satisfaction of Section 9.2.
(c) On each Scheduled Payment Date (and if such day is not a Business Day, then the
immediately preceding day which is a Business Day) commencing the month immediately following the
month during which the Borrower no longer has a right to withdraw funds from the Lockbox Account,
Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to withdraw or allocate to the sub-accounts of the
Cash Management Account, as the case may be, amounts received in the Cash Management Account, in
each case to the extent that sufficient funds remain therefor:
75
(i) funds sufficient to pay the monthly deposits to the Tax and Insurance
Reserve Account shall be allocated to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account to be
held and disbursed in accordance with Section 9.6;
(ii) funds sufficient to pay the Monthly Payment Amount shall be withdrawn and

responsible for monitoring the sufficiency of funds deposited in the Cash Management Account and
that Borrower is liable for any deficiency in available funds,
76
irrespective of whether Borrower has received any account statement, notice or demand from
Lender or Lender’s servicer. If the amount on deposit in the Cash Management Account is
insufficient to make all of the withdrawals and allocations described in Section 10.3(c)(i) through
(vi) above, Borrower shall deposit such deficiency into the Cash Management Account within five (5)
days (provided that such five day period shall not constitute a grace period for any default or
Event of Default under this Agreement or any other Loan Document based on a failure to satisfy any
monetary obligation provided in any Loan Document).
(e) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower hereby irrevocably
authorizes Lender to make any and all withdrawals from the Lockbox Account and Cash Management
Account and transfers between any of the Reserve Accounts as Lender shall determine in Lender’s
sole and absolute discretion and Lender may use all funds contained in any such accounts for any
purpose, including but not limited to repayment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority
as Lender may determine in its sole and absolute discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply
funds as stated herein shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender
under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.
Section 10.4 Security Interest
(a) To secure the full and punctual payment of the Debt and performance of all obligations of
Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower
hereby grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in the Lockbox Account and
Cash Management Account, all interest, cash, checks, drafts, certificates and instruments, if any,
from time to time deposited or held therein, any and all amounts invested in Permitted Investments,
and all “proceeds” (as defined in the UCC as in effect in the state in which the Lockbox Account
and Cash Management Account are located or maintained) of any or all of the foregoing.
Furthermore, Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further
pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any of the foregoing or permit any Lien to attach
thereto or any levy to be made thereon or any UCC Financing Statements to be filed with respect
thereto. Borrower will maintain the security interest created by this Section 10.4(a) as a first
priority perfected security interest and will defend the right, title and interest of Lender in and
to the Lockbox Account and Cash Management Account against the claims and demands of all Persons
whomsoever.
(b) Borrower authorizes Lender to file any financing statement or statements required by
Lender to establish or maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interest
granted herein in connection with the Lockbox Account and Cash Management Account. Borrower
agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly
and duly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action,
that may be necessary or desirable, or that Lender may reasonably request, in order to perfect and
protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby (including, without
limitation, any security interest in and to any Permitted Investments) or to enable Lender to
exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder.
77
(c) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may exercise any or all of its rights
and remedies as a secured party, pledgee and lienholder with respect to the Lockbox Account and
Cash Management Account. Without limitation of the foregoing, upon any Event of Default, Lender
may use the Lockbox Account and Cash Management Account for any of the following purposes: (A)
repayment of the Debt, including, but not limited to, principal prepayments and the prepayment
premium applicable to such full or partial prepayment (as applicable); (B) reimbursement of Lender
for all losses, fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees)
suffered or incurred by Lender as a result of such Event of Default; (C) payment of any amount
expended in exercising any or all rights and remedies available to Lender at law or in equity or
under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents; (D) payment of any item as required
or permitted under this Agreement; or (E) any other purpose permitted by applicable law; provided,
however, that any such application of funds shall not cure or be deemed to cure any Event of
Default. Without limiting any other provisions hereof, each of the remedial actions described in
the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable exercise of
Lender’s rights and remedies as a secured party with respect to the Lockbox Account and Cash
Management Account and shall not in any event be deemed to constitute a setoff or a foreclosure of
a statutory banker’s lien. Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any
portion of the Lockbox Account or Cash Management Account to effect a cure of any Event of Default,
or to pay the Debt, or in any specific order of priority. The exercise of any or all of Lender’s
rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents shall not in any
way prejudice or affect Lender’s right to initiate and complete a foreclosure under the Mortgage.
(d) Definitions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, For
purposes of this Article 10 only, Business Day shall mean a day on which Lender and Lockbox Bank
are both open for the conduct of substantially all of their respective banking business at the
office in the city in which the Note is payable, with respect to Lender and at the office in the
city where the Lockbox Account is maintained, with respect to Lockbox Bank (in both instances,
excluding Saturdays and Sundays).

(viii) Borrower’s failure following any Event of Default to deliver to Lender upon
demand all Rents and books and records relating to the Property;

89
(x) Borrower’s failure to protect or enforce its rights under the Tenant Letter of
Credit or to deliver to the Lender the proceeds from or any payments on the Tenant Letter of
Credit in accordance with Section 9.10 hereof;
(xi) Borrower’s failure to provide the Lender with an acceptable letter of credit in
the amount of $400,000.00 that satisfies the Lender’s Letter of Credit Requirements or cash
in the amount of $400,000.00 as required by Section 9.2;

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the agreement of Lender not to pursue recourse liability as
set forth in subsection (a) above SHALL BECOME NULL AND VOID and shall be of no further force and
effect and the Debt shall be fully recourse to Borrower and Borrower Principal on a joint and
several basis in the event (i) of a breach by Borrower, Borrower Principal or any SPE Component
Entity (if any) of any of the covenants set forth in Article 6 hereof, to the extent that such
breach is (A) material and (B) is not cured within fifteen (15) days of the earlier to occur of

involuntary petition against Borrower from any Person; (v) Borrower files an answer consenting to
or otherwise acquiescing in or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it, by any other

representative which controls Borrower consents to or acquiesces in or joins in an application for

for the full amount of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or to require that all collateral

to time, will cause the Mortgage and any of the other Loan Documents creating a lien or security
interest or evidencing the lien hereof upon the Property and each instrument of further assurance

present or future law in order to publish notice of and fully to protect and perfect the lien or
security interest hereof upon, and the interest of Lender in, the Property. Borrower will pay all
taxes, filing, registration or recording fees, and all expenses incident to the preparation,
execution, acknowledgment and/or recording of the Note, the Mortgage, the other Loan Documents, any
note, deed of trust or mortgage supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the

bound to convey or assign to Lender, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the
performance of the terms of this Agreement or for filing, registering or recording the Mortgage, or

remedies available to Lender at law and in equity, including without limitation, such rights and
remedies available to Lender pursuant to this Section 17.3.
Section 17.4 Changes in Tax, Debt, Credit and Documentary Stamp Laws
(a) If any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this Agreement which deducts
the Debt from the value of the Property for the purpose of taxation or which imposes a tax, either
directly or indirectly, on the Debt or Lender’s interest in the Property, Borrower will pay the
tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. If Lender is advised by counsel chosen by it
that the payment of tax by Borrower would be unlawful or taxable to Lender or unenforceable or
provide the basis for a defense of usury then Lender shall have the option by written notice of not
less than one hundred twenty (120) days to declare the Debt immediately due and payable.
(b) Borrower will not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of
the Debt for any part of the Taxes or Other Charges assessed against the Property, or any part
thereof, and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of the
Property, or any part thereof, for real estate tax purposes by reason of the Mortgage or the Debt.
If such claim, credit or deduction shall be required by law, Lender shall have the option, by
written notice of not less than one hundred twenty (120) days, to declare the Debt immediately due
and payable.
If at any time the United States of America, any State thereof or any subdivision of any such
State shall require revenue or other stamps to be affixed to the Note, the Mortgage, or any of the
other Loan Documents or impose any other tax or charge on the same, Borrower will pay for the same,
with interest and penalties thereon, if any.

receipt of written notice from Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable,
actual attorneys’ fees and disbursements and the allocated costs of internal legal services and all

Agreement in connection with (a) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower (including without
limitation any opinions requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents with respect to the Property); (b) Borrower’s ongoing performance of and

and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters requested by Lender; (e) securing
Borrower’s compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; (f) the

from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Property or in

Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided,
however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the
extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct
of Lender.
Section 17.6 Cost of Enforcement
In the event (a) that the Mortgage is foreclosed in whole or in part, (b) of the bankruptcy,
insolvency, rehabilitation or other similar proceeding in respect of Borrower or any of its
constituent Persons or an assignment by Borrower or any of its constituent Persons for the benefit
of its creditors, or (c) Lender exercises any of its other remedies under this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall be chargeable with and agrees to pay all costs of
collection and defense, including attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Lender or Borrower in
connection therewith and in connection with any appellate proceeding or post-judgment action
involved therein, together with all required service or use taxes.
ARTICLE 18
WAIVERS
Section 18.1 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers
The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not
exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower or Borrower
Principal pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity
or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or
otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No
delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall
impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such
remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.
A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a
waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or
power consequent thereon.
95
Section 18.2 Modification, Waiver in Writing
No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement, or of the Note, or of any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by
Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by
the party against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective
only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, no notice to, or demand on Borrower, shall entitle Borrower to any other or future
notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.
Section 18.3 Delay Not a Waiver
Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance
of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege
hereunder, or under the Note or under any other Loan Document, or any other instrument given as
security therefor, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial
exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power,
remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the
due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, Lender
shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other
amounts due under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for
failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.
Section 18.4 Trial by Jury
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT (IF ANY) PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER, BORROWER PRINCIPAL AND
LENDER EACH HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND
WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER
EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN
CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY
BORROWER, BORROWER PRINCIPAL AND LENDER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE
AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. EACH OF LENDER,
BORROWER PRINCIPAL AND BORROWER IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY
PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY BORROWER, BORROWER PRINCIPAL AND LENDER.
96
Section 18.5 Waiver of Notice
Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with
respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly
provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which
Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of
notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect
to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and
expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.
Section 18.6 Remedies of Borrower
In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted
unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably
or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary
damages, and Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive
relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to
determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory
judgment. Lender agrees that, in such event, it shall cooperate in expediting any action seeking
injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.
Section 18.7 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns,
waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with
interests in Borrower, and of the Property, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws
pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead
exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat,
reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the
collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of
Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every
other claimant whatsoever.
Section 18.8 Waiver of Statute of Limitations
Borrower hereby expressly waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the
pleading of any statute of limitations as a defense to payment of the Debt or performance of its
Other Obligations.
Section 18.9 Waiver of Counterclaim
Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory
counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.

beneficiary or lender.
(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and
Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to
confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the

of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with
respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into
the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of
Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any
limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the
