Origination of One Kendall Square First Mortgage

On November 22, 2010, KBS Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. (the “Company”), through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, originated a first mortgage loan in the amount of $175.0 million (the “One Kendall Square First Mortgage”) to RB Kendall Fee, LLC (the “Borrower”), which is not affiliated with the Company or its advisor, KBS Capital Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”). The Company funded the origination with proceeds from existing credit facilities from unaffiliated lenders and proceeds from the Company’s ongoing initial public offering.

The Borrower will use the proceeds from the loan to refinance a mixed-use facility located on an approximately 9.0-acre rectangular campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts (collectively, “One Kendall Square”). One Kendall Square consists of nine separate and distinct buildings (plus two storage facilities), a 1,546-car structured parking garage and a nine-screen movie theater. Currently, the buildings are approximately 74% leased.

The initial maturity date of the One Kendall Square First Mortgage is December 1, 2013 with two one-year extension options available to the Borrower. The One Kendall Square First Mortgage bears interest at a floating rate of 550 basis points over one-month LIBOR, but at no point shall the interest rate be less than 7.5%. Payments under the One Kendall Square First Mortgage are interest-only payments during the term of the loan. The One Kendall Square First Mortgage may be prepaid in whole (but not in part) subject to a formula-based yield maintenance premium for the first three-year term of the loan. The loan may be prepaid for a 1% fee during the first extension term and at par during the second extension term.
