- Recitals. Borrower and Lender each covenants and confirms that all of the above outlined Recitals set forth in this Amendment are true, correct and complete in every respect and are incorporated herein and made a part hereof. Borrower acknowledges that Lender in entering into this Amendment is relying on such covenants and confirmations.
- Ratification of Loan Documents. Borrower hereby acknowledges, reaffirms and ratifies each and all of Borrower's obligations, duties, covenants and liabilities to Lender under the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, the obligation to pay to Lender all amounts due under the Note and other Loan Documents. Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that there are no claims, demands, offsets or defenses at law or in equity that would defeat or diminish the present and unconditional right of Lender to collect the indebtedness evidenced by the Note and to proceed to enforce the rights and remedies available to Lender as provided in the Note and the other Loan Documents or by law.
- Consent to Mezzanine A and B Payoff. Lender hereby consents to the Mezzanine A and B Payoff.
- Amendments to Loan Documents. As of the Effective Date, the Loan Documents are hereby modified as follows:
- Extension Options. Section 2.8 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
i. So long as Borrower satisfies the following conditions, the Term of the Loan shall be extended from the Second Extended Maturity Date to the Third Extended Maturity Date without necessity of notice from Borrower or the satisfaction of any other conditions set forth in Section 2.8 of the Loan Agreement:
(A) no Event of Default exists on the Second Extended Maturity Date; and
(B) Borrower delivers to Lender an Officer's Certificate confirming the accuracy of the information contained in (A) above.
If Borrower is unable to satisfy the foregoing conditions within the applicable time frame, Lender shall have no obligation to extend the Maturity Date.
ii. Borrower shall have the right, at its option, to extend the Term until not later than February 9, 2013 (the "Fourth Extended Maturity Date") upon fifteen (15) days prior notice to Lender, provided that the following conditions have been met:

(B) Borrower delivers to Lender an Officer's Certificate confirming the accuracy of the information contained in (A) above;

Borrower shall keep Lender apprised of Borrower's negotiations with Senior Lender with respect to extending the Term of the Senior Loan to the Fourth Extended Maturity Date.
b. Reallocation of Capital Expenditure Advance Amount and Leasing Advance Amount. Borrower may reallocate the Additional Advances between the Capital Expenditure Advance Amount and the Leasing Advance Amount such that the maximums established in the Loan Agreement shall no longer be applicable (i.e., Borrower may request the use of Additional Advances in excess of the Maximum Capital Expenditure Advance Amount or the Maximum Leasing Advance Amount; provided that in no event shall the total of all Additional Advances made following the date of this Amendment exceed $5,558,188.49 in the aggregate). Notwithstanding such reallocations, all Additional Advances shall be subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.9.
c. Alternate Repayment Amount. A new Section 2.3.4 shall be added to the Loan Agreement as follows:
"Section 2.3.4. Alternate Repayment Amount.
(a) Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall have the right to payoff the Loan at the Alternate Repayment Amount (as defined below) upon five (5) days prior written notice to Lender, without premium or penalty, during either of the following time periods: (i) provided Borrower meets the conditions for extending the Term of the Loan at the Second Extended Maturity Date, at any time commencing on a date that is six (6) months prior to the Third Extended Maturity Date (i.e., commencing on August 9, 2011) and ending on the Third Extended Maturity Date or (ii) provided Borrower meets the conditions for extending the Term of the Loan at the Third Extended Maturity Date, at any time following the Third Extended Maturity Date and prior to the Fourth Extended Maturity Date (either such date, the "Alternate Repayment Date"). For purposes hereof, the following defined terms shall have the following meanings: (i) "Alternate Repayment Amount" shall mean the lesser of (i) $11,081,222, plus Lender's Pro-Rata Share (as defined below) of the Deemed Profit (as defined below), or (ii) $22,162,444; (ii) "Deemed Profit" shall be equal to the difference between the Gross Property Value (as defined below) and the Total Capitalization (as defined below); (iii) "Total Capitalization" shall equal the sum of (a) $55,000,000 plus (b) Sponsor's Contributed Capital (as defined below), plus (c) Lender's Contributed Capital (as defined below); (iv) "Gross Property Value" shall mean either (a) the gross sales price (less normal and customary closing costs payable to third parties) in conjunction with an arms-length sale of the Property to a bona fide third-party purchaser on the Alternate Repayment Date, or (b) the property value as mutually determined by Borrower and Lender, as of January 1, 2012 (or January 1, 2013 if the Term of the Loan is extended to the Fourth Extended Maturity Date), through the Appraisal Procedure (as defined below) conducted prior to the Alternate Prepayment Date; (v) "Lender's Pro-Rata Share" shall mean the amount determined by dividing Lender's Contributed Capital by the sum total of Sponsor's Contributed Capital plus Lender's Contributed Capital; (vi) "Sponsor's Pro Rata Share" shall mean the amount determined by dividing Sponsor's Contributed Capital by the sum total of Sponsor's Contributed Capital plus Lender's Contributed Capital; (vii) "Lender's Contributed Capital" shall mean $11,081,222; and (viii) "Sponsor's Contributed Capital" shall mean $40,030,912, which is the amount being paid by Sole Member or an affiliate thereof in connection with the Mezzanine A and B Payoff. For avoidance of doubt, Borrower shall continue to pay interest at the Applicable Interest Rate on the total unpaid principal balance of the Loan through the final Maturity Date or the Alternate Repayment Date, notwithstanding the right of Borrower to repay the Loan at the Alternate Repayment Amount. Upon Borrower's repayment of the Alternate Repayment Amount in accordance with this Section 2.3.4, the Loan and all obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be deemed fully satisfied (except for any obligations of Borrower that expressly survive payment in full of the Loan pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents).
(b) In the event that the Appraisal Procedure shall be used to calculate the Alternate Repayment Amount, the parties shall proceed as follows (the following shall be the "Appraisal Procedure"):
(1) First, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a notice of valuation of the Property for purposes of calculating the Alternate Repayment Amount (the "Notice of Valuation"). Then, Borrower and Lender shall attempt, acting reasonably and in good faith, to agree upon the fair market value of the Property within fifteen (15) days following delivery by Borrower to Lender of the Notice of Valuation.
(2) In the event Borrower and Lender are unable to agree upon the fair market value of the Property within such 15-day period, either party may elect to request an appraisal by delivering notice to the other party (the "Appraisal Notice"). Following delivery by either party of the Appraisal Notice, Borrower and Lender shall attempt, acting reasonably and in good faith, to agree upon a single appraiser to conduct the appraisal of the Property. If Borrower and Lender are able to agree upon a single appraiser, such appraiser shall conduct an appraisal of the Property using the Appraisal Criteria (as defined below). Any appraiser(s) selected by Borrower and Lender must be disinterested and must demonstrate (1) current good standing in the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers, as evidenced by a certificate from such institute, or current good standing as an Accredited Senior Appraiser in the discipline of business valuations in the American Society of Appraisers, as evidenced by a certificate from such society, and (2) past appraising experience of at least five (5) years following such certification, which experience shall include experience for at least five (5) years appraising office buildings located in Northern Virginia (a "Qualified Appraiser").
(3) If Borrower and Lender cannot agree upon a single appraiser within seven (7) days following issuance of the Appraisal Notice, either party may give the other party a written notice calling for appointment of an appraisal panel (the "Panel Notice").
(A) The Panel Notice shall designate one Qualified Appraiser selected by the electing party to serve on the appraisal panel. Upon receipt of the Panel Notice, the other party shall have seven (7) days to designate a second Qualified Appraiser to serve on the appraisal panel by giving written notice of such designation to the party that issued the Panel Notice. If such second appraiser is not so appointed and designated within such 7-day period, then the appraiser designated in the Panel Notice shall be the sole appraiser to determine the fair market value of the Property.
(B) Upon designation of the second appraiser, if timely designated, the first appraiser and the second appraiser shall appoint an additional Qualified Appraiser within seven (7) days following the designation of the second appraiser. If the first appraiser and the second appraiser are unable to agree upon such appointment within such 7-day period, then the party that sent the Panel Notice shall request such appointment by the president or executive committee of the Chapter of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers (or the chapter of the American Society of Appraisers, as applicable) which includes the Property within its jurisdiction or the chapter nearest to the Property.
(C) The appraisers appointed as the appraisal panel (the "Appraisal Panel") shall each appraise the Property taking into account appropriate indicators of the fair market value of the Property in a cash sale between a willing buyer and seller not under undue duress using a discounted cash flow approach and assuming a full lease-up of any vacant space over a reasonable period of time at market rates for rents, tenant improvements and leasing commissions, and assuming all necessary capital expenditures in the projected cash flows and shall report their findings to Borrower and Lender, within twenty-one (21) days of being appointed and engaged (the "Appraisal Criteria"). In the event that any member of the Appraisal Panel shall fail to deliver its report within such 21-day period, the party that designated such delinquent appraiser may dismiss the delinquent appraiser and appoint a new Qualified Appraiser.
(4) In the case of a single appraiser, the Gross Property Value shall be equal to the appraised value determined by the single appraiser. In the case of an Appraisal Panel, the Gross Property Value shall be equal to the mean of the two closest appraised values reported by the Appraisal Panel; provided that if the three values are equally distributed, the Gross Property Value shall be equal to the mean of the three appraised values reported by the Appraisal Panel.
(5) Upon the failure, refusal or inability of any appointed appraiser to act, a new appraiser shall be appointed in lieu thereof, which appointment shall be made in the same manner as the original appraiser failing, refusing or being unable to act.
(6) The appraisal shall state the appraised value as of January 1, 2012 (or January 1, 2013 if the Term of the Loan is extended until the Fourth Extended Maturity Date).
(c) Upon payment of the Alternate Payment Amount, Lender shall release to Borrower any amounts remaining in the Additional Advance Subaccount (or Borrower may elect to offset the Alternate Repayment Amount with any amounts remaining in the Additional Advance Subaccount, provided such amounts may be released to Lender on the Alternate Repayment Date)."
d. The following is hereby added to the Loan Agreement as Section 8.1(s) and Section 8.1(t):
"(s) The Existing Mezzanine A and B Cash Reserves shall be withdrawn from the Cash Management Bank for any purpose other than for the payment of the Future Funding Obligations; and"
"(t) Mezzanine Borrower-A and Mezzanine Borrower-B shall fail to fund (or shall fail to provide irrevocable directions to the Cash Management Bank to fund) the Mezzanine Loan-A and Mezzanine Loan-B portions of Additional Advances required to be made pursuant to Section 2.9 of the Mezzanine A Loan Agreement and the Mezzanine B Loan Agreement (according to the terms in such agreements as they exist on the date hereof) simultaneously with the funding of the portion of Additional Advances required to be made by Lender pursuant to Section 2.9 hereof."
5. Outstanding Principal Balance of the Loan. The outstanding principal balance of the Loan as of the date hereof is $22,162,444.00 in principal plus all unpaid and accrued interest. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Borrower shall not be entitled to any additional advances of the Loan.
