2.1.2 Single Disbursement to Borrower. Borrower may request and receive only one (1) borrowing hereunder in respect of the Loan and any amount borrowed and repaid hereunder in respect of the Loan may not be reborrowed. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Loan has been fully funded as of the Closing Date.

2.1.3 The Note, Mortgage and Loan Documents. The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note and secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.

2.1.4 Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan to (a) acquire the Properties or repay and discharge any existing loans relating to the Properties, (b) pay all past due Basic Carrying Costs, if any, with respect to the Properties, (c) make deposits into the Reserve Funds on the Closing Date in the amounts provided herein, (d) pay costs and expenses incurred in connection with the closing of the Loan and the acquisition of the Properties, as approved by Lender, (e) fund any working capital requirements of the Properties and (f) distribute the balance, if any, to Borrower.

Section 2.2 Interest Rate.

2.2.1 Interest Rate. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue at the Initial Interest Rate or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement from (and including) the Closing Date to but excluding the Anticipated Repayment Date. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue at the Adjusted Interest Rate or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement from (and including) the Anticipated Repayment Date to but excluding the Maturity Date.

2.2.2 Interest Calculation. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant Accrual Period by (b) a daily rate based on the Applicable Interest Rate or Default Rate, as applicable, and a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (c) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan.

2.2.3 Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Loan and any other amounts due pursuant to the Loan Documents, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.

2.2.4 Usury Savings. This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal (without any Yield Maintenance Premium or other prepayment consideration) and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

With respect to the foregoing provisions, the following shall apply with respect to the State of Texas:

(a) It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Lender at all times to comply strictly with the applicable Texas law governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on the Note, this Agreement or the Debt (or applicable United States federal law to the extent that it permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under Texas law). If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount (i) contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received pursuant to the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other communication or writing by or between Borrower and Lender related to the transaction or transactions that are the subject matter of the Loan Documents, (ii) contracted for, charged or received by reason of Lender’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Note, this Agreement and/or the Debt, or (iii) Borrower will have paid or Lender will have received by reason of any voluntary prepayment by Borrower of the Note and/or the Debt, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express intent that all amounts charged in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate (hereinafter defined) shall be automatically cancelled, ab initio, and all amounts in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited on the principal balance of the Note and/or the Debt (or, if the Note and all Debt have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder; provided, however, if the Note has been paid in full before the end

of the stated term of the Note, then Borrower and Lender agree that Lender shall, with reasonable promptness after Lender discovers or is advised by Borrower that interest was received in an amount in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, either refund such excess interest to Borrower and/or credit such excess interest against the Note and/or any Debt then owing by Borrower to Lender. Borrower hereby agrees that as a condition precedent to any claim seeking usury penalties against Lender, Borrower will provide written notice to Lender, advising Lender in reasonable detail of the nature and amount of the violation, and Lender shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice in which to correct such usury violation, if any, by either refunding such excess interest to Borrower or crediting such excess interest against the Note and/or the Debt then owing by Borrower to Lender. All sums contracted for, charged or received by Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of any debt evidenced by the Note, this Agreement and/or the Debt shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized or spread, using the actuarial method, throughout the stated term of the Note, this Agreement and/or the Debt (including any and all renewal and extension periods) until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Note, this Agreement and/or the Debt does not exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Note and/or the Debt for so long as debt is outstanding. In no event shall the provisions of Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving triparty accounts) apply to the Note, this Agreement and/or the Debt. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.

(b) As used herein, the term “Maximum Lawful Rate” shall mean the maximum lawful rate of interest which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by Lender in accordance with the applicable laws of the State of Texas (or applicable United States federal law to the extent that it permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater amount of interest than under Texas law), taking into account all Charges (as herein defined) made in connection with the transaction evidenced by the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. As used herein, the term “Charges” shall mean all fees, charges and/or any other things of value, if any, contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by Lender in connection with the transactions relating to the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, which are treated as interest under applicable law. As used in this Section 2.2.4, the term “Debt” shall mean any and all debt paid or payable by Borrower to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents or any other communication or writing by or between Borrower and Lender related to the transaction or transactions that are the subject matter of this Agreement and the Loan Documents, except such debt which has been paid or is payable by Borrower to Lender under the Note.

(c) To the extent that Lender is relying on Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code to determine the Maximum Lawful Rate payable on the Note and/or the Debt, Lender will utilize the weekly ceiling from time to time in effect as provided in such Chapter 303, as amended. To the extent United States federal law permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater amount of interest than under Texas law, Lender will rely on United States federal law instead of such Chapter 303 for the purpose of determining the Maximum Lawful Rate. Additionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law now or hereafter in effect, Lender may, at its option and from time to time, utilize any other method of establishing the Maximum

Lawful Rate under such Chapter 303 or under other applicable law by giving notice, if required, to Borrower as provided by applicable law now or hereafter in effect.

(a) Borrower shall pay to Lender (i) on the Closing Date, an amount equal to interest only on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan for the initial Accrual Period, (ii) on February 1, 2011, and on each Payment Date thereafter up to and including the Payment Date on January 1, 2016, an amount equal to interest only on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan for the related Accrual Period, and (iii) on February 1, 2016, and on each Payment Date thereafter up to and including the Anticipated Repayment Date, the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, which payments shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and the balance to principal.

(b) On each Payment Date occurring after the Anticipated Repayment Date Borrower shall (i) make a payment to Lender of principal and interest in the amount of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, such payment to be applied to interest in an amount equal to interest that would have accrued on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan (without adjustment for Accrued Interest) at the Initial Interest Rate and the remainder to the principal balance of the Loan, and (ii) pay the other amounts required to be paid in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement. In addition, to the extent there is Excess Cash Flow for the preceding month, Borrower shall pay to Lender such Excess Cash Flow, such payment to be applied as follows: (A) first, to the reduction of the principal balance of the Note until the entire outstanding principal balance of the Note is paid in full; and (B) then, to the payment of Accrued Interest. “Accrued Interest” shall mean interest calculated at the Adjusted Interest Rate, and deferred and not paid pursuant to subsection (i) above.

2.3.2 Payments Generally. For purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating Accrual Periods, if the day on which such payment is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day and with respect to payments of principal due on the Maturity Date, interest shall be payable at the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, through and including the day immediately preceding such Maturity Date. All amounts due under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim, defense or any other deduction whatsoever.

2.3.3 Payment on Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loan (including without limitation the Accrued Interest), all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.

2.3.4 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents (including the amounts due on the Maturity Date) are not paid by Borrower on or prior to the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum and the Maximum Legal Rate in

order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.

2.3.5 Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein and subject to the provisions of Section 2.7.3, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Lender’s office or as otherwise directed by Lender, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.

Section 2.4 Prepayments.

2.4.1 Voluntary Prepayments.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.4, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date.

(b) On any Business Day after the Permitted Prepayment Date through the Maturity Date, Borrower may, at its option, prepay the Debt in full (but not in part), provided that (i) Borrower submits a notice to Lender setting forth the projected date of prepayment, which date shall be no less than thirty (30) days from the date of such notice, and (ii) Borrower pays to Lender (A) the unpaid principal amount of the Note, (B) all interest accrued and unpaid on the principal balance of the Note to and including the date of prepayment, (C) all other sums due under the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (D) if such prepayment occurs prior to the Permitted Par Prepayment Date, the Yield Maintenance Premium, and (E) if such prepayment is not paid on a regularly scheduled Payment Date (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day), interest for the full Accrual Period during which the prepayment occurs.

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 2.4.1(a) above to the contrary, Borrower may prepay a portion of the Loan in accordance with Section 2.6.2 hereof.

2.4.2 Mandatory Prepayments. On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Lender actually receives any Net Proceeds, if Lender is not obligated to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for the Restoration of the applicable Individual Property or otherwise remit such Net Proceeds to Borrower pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof, Borrower authorizes Lender, at Lender’s option, to apply Net Proceeds as a prepayment of all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan together with accrued interest and any other sums due hereunder in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds; provided, however, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may apply such Net Proceeds to the Debt (until paid in full) in any order or priority in its sole discretion. No Yield Maintenance Premium or other prepayment consideration or premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2. Any Net Proceeds applied as a prepayment of a portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan

shall reduce the Release Amount for the applicable Individual Property by an equivalent amount.

2.4.3 Prepayments After Default. If during the continuance of an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower or otherwise recovered by Lender, such tender or recovery shall be (a) deemed made on the next occurring Payment Date together with the Monthly Debt Service Payment and (b) deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower in violation of the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section 2.4.1 hereof, and Borrower shall pay, in addition to the Debt, an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Default Premium which can be applied by Lender in such order and priority as Lender shall determine in is sole and absolute discretion.

Section 2.5 Intentionally omitted.

Section 2.6 Release of Property. Except as set forth in this Section 2.6, no repayment or prepayment of all or any portion of the Loan shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of the Lien of the Mortgage on any Individual Property.

2.6.1 Release of Property.

(a) If Borrower has elected to prepay the entire Loan and the requirements of Section 2.4.1 and this Section 2.6.1 have been satisfied, all of the Properties shall be released from the Liens of their respective Mortgages.

(b) In connection with the release of the Mortgages, Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the date of prepayment, a release of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for each Individual Property for execution by Lender. Each such release shall be in a form appropriate in the jurisdiction in which the applicable Individual Property is located and that would be satisfactory to a prudent lender and contains standard provisions, if any, protecting the rights of the releasing lender. In addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation Lender reasonably requires to be delivered by Borrower in connection with such release. Borrower shall reimburse Lender and Servicer for any costs and expenses Lender and Servicer incur arising from such release (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and Borrower shall pay, in connection with such release, (i) all recording charges, filing fees, taxes or other expenses payable in connection therewith, and (ii) to any Servicer, the current fee being assessed by such Servicer to effect such release, which fee shall not exceed $500 per Individual Property being released (exclusive of costs incurred).

2.6.2 Release of Individual Property. On any Business Day after the Permitted Prepayment Date through the Anticipated Repayment Date, an Individual Borrower may, at its option, prepay a portion of the Loan, provided the applicable requirements of Section 2.4.1 and this Section 2.6.2 have been satisfied, and such Individual Borrower may obtain the release of its Individual Property from the Lien of the related Mortgage thereon (and related Loan Documents) and the release of the related Individual Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents (other than those expressly stated to survive). In connection with such partial prepayment and release, the following conditions must be satisfied:

(a) The amount of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan to be prepaid shall equal or exceed the Adjusted Release Amount for the applicable Individual Property, and such prepayment shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment for all purposes hereunder and shall include the applicable Yield Maintenance Premium (if such prepayment is made prior to the Permitted Par Prepayment Date) and any other sums then due to Lender;

(b) No Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and no event which, with notice, the passage or time, or both would constitute an Event of Default shall have occurred);

(c) Subsequent to such release, each remaining Individual Borrower shall continue to be a Special Purpose Entity pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 4.1.30 hereof;

(d) If required by the Rating Agencies (as determined by Lender), Borrower shall deliver to Lender and the Rating Agencies an Additional Insolvency Opinion or an update of the Insolvency Opinion indicating that the release does not affect the opinions set forth therein;

(e) Borrower shall deliver an opinion of tax counsel that would be acceptable to a prudent lender acting reasonably, prepared and delivered at Borrower’s expense, stating that as a result of such release of the applicable Individual Property any REMIC Trust that has acquired the Loan (i) will not fail to maintain its status as a REMIC Trust, and (ii) will not be subject to tax on any “prohibited transactions” or “prohibited contributions”;

(f) After giving effect to the release of the applicable Individual Property, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Properties then remaining subject to the Liens of the Mortgages based on the trailing (twelve) (12) month period immediately preceding the release of the applicable Individual Property shall be equal to or greater than the greater of (i) the Release Debt Service Coverage Ratio, and (ii) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for all of the Properties then subject to the Liens of the Mortgages (including the Individual Property requested to be released) immediately preceding the release of the applicable Individual Property based on the trailing twelve (12) month period;

(g) Immediately after giving effect to the release of the applicable Individual Property, the loan-to-value ratio of the remaining Properties, as determined by Lender in its sole discretion, shall not exceed 125%. Unless Lender determines that applicable REMIC regulations or other applicable authority require a different valuation method, Lender shall determine the aggregate loan-to-value ratio of the remaining Properties by capitalizing net operating income for such Properties for such period using a capitalization rate or range of capitalization rates that the Lender has no reason to believe is incorrect.

(h) In connection with the release of a Mortgage, Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the date of prepayment, a release of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for the applicable Individual Property for execution by Lender. Such release shall be in a form appropriate in the jurisdiction in which the applicable Individual Property is located and that would be satisfactory to a prudent lender and contains standard provisions, if any, protecting the rights of the releasing lender. In addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation Lender reasonably requires to be delivered by Borrower in connection with such release. Borrower shall reimburse Lender and Servicer for any costs and expenses Lender and

Servicer incur arising from such release (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and Borrower shall have paid, in connection with such release, (i) all recording charges, filing fees, taxes or other expenses payable in connection therewith, (ii) all costs and expenses (if any) of the Rating Agencies incurred with respect to such release, and (iii) to any Servicer, the current fee being assessed by such Servicer to effect such release, provided, however, such fee shall not exceed $15,000 per release (exclusive of costs incurred); and

(i) Borrower shall comply with Lender’s or Servicer’s reasonable requirements in connection with such release (subject to the fee cap in clause (h) above).

Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 2.6.2, in connection with an exercise of the purchaser’s rights under the Denver Purchase Option, on any Business Day after the date hereof, the Denver Individual Borrower may prepay a portion of the Loan and obtain the release of the Denver Individual Property from the Lien of the related Mortgage thereon (and related Loan Documents) and the release of the Denver Individual Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents (other than those expressly stated to survive), provided the applicable requirements of Section 2.4.1 and this Section 2.6.2 (other than clause (b) of this Section 2.6.2) have been satisfied.

Upon the release of any Individual Property and Individual Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.6.2, all references herein or in any of the other Loan Documents to the term “Properties” shall be deemed to exclude such Individual Property and all references in the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the term “Borrower” or “Borrowers” shall be deemed to exclude such Individual Borrower.

(g) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Lockbox Account and/or the Lockbox Agreement (unless arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender) or the performance of the obligations for which the Lockbox Account was established.

2.7.2 Cash Management Account.

(a) During the term of the Loan, Borrower shall establish and maintain a segregated Eligible Account (the “Cash Management Account”) to be held by Agent in trust and for the benefit of Lender, which Cash Management Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender. The Cash Management Account shall be entitled “Cole AB Abilene TX, LLC as Borrower and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as Lender, pursuant to Loan Agreement dated as of December 15, 2010 — Cash Management Account.” Borrower hereby grants to Lender a first priority security interest in the Cash Management Account and all deposits at any time contained therein and the proceeds thereof and will take all actions necessary to maintain in favor of Lender a perfected first priority security interest in the Cash Management Account, including, without limitation, filing UCC-1 Financing Statements and continuations thereof.

(b) The insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account shall not relieve Borrower from the obligation to make any payments, as and when due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such obligations shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event or circumstance whatsoever.

(c) All funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default may be applied by Lender in such order and priority as Lender shall determine.

2.7.3 Payments Received under the Cash Management Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower’s obligations with respect to the payment of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount and amounts required to be deposited into the Reserve Funds, if any, shall be deemed satisfied to the extent sufficient amounts are deposited in the Cash Management Account to satisfy such obligations pursuant to this Agreement on the dates each such payment is required, regardless of whether any of such amounts are so applied by Lender.

Borrower is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its businesses and operations. Borrower possesses all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to entitle it to own the Properties and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged, and the sole business of Borrower is the ownership, management and operation of the Properties. The ownership interests in Borrower are as set forth on the organizational chart attached hereto as Schedule IV.

4.1.2 Proceedings. Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. This Agreement

and such other Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of Borrower and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

4.1.3 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by Borrower will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property or assets of Borrower pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement, management agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which any of the Properties or Borrower’s assets is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of Borrower’s properties or assets, and any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court or any such Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.

4.1.4 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending or, to Borrower’s actual knowledge, threatened against or affecting any Individual Borrower, Guarantor, Principal or, to the extent an Individual Borrower, Guarantor or Principal is a party, any Individual Property, which actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against such Individual Borrower, Guarantor, Principal or any Individual Property, might materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of such Individual Borrower, Guarantor, Principal or the condition or ownership of any Individual Property. In addition, no Individual Borrower has any knowledge of any actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending or threatened against or affecting any Individual Property to which an Individual Borrower, Guarantor or Principal is not a party, which actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against such Individual Property might materially adversely affect the condition or ownership of such Individual Property.

4.1.5 Agreements. Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which might materially and adversely affect Borrower or any Individual Property, or Borrower’s business, properties or assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. Borrower is not in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which Borrower or any Individual Property is bound. Borrower has no material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or any Individual Property is otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of any Individual Property as permitted pursuant to clause (xxiii) of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof and (b) obligations under the Loan Documents.

4.1.6 Title. Each Individual Borrower has good and marketable fee simple title to the real property comprising part of its Individual Property and good title to the balance of the Individual Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. To Borrower’s actual knowledge, the Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially and adversely affect the value, operation or use of the Properties (as currently used) or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan. To Borrower’s actual knowledge, each Mortgage, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on the corresponding Individual Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty owned by Borrower (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. To Borrower’s actual knowledge and except as set forth in the Title Insurance Policy, there are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Properties which are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents.

4.1.7 Solvency. Borrower has (a) not entered into this transaction or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents. Giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower or any constituent Person in the last seven (7) years, and neither Borrower nor any constituent Person in the last seven (7) years has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. Neither Borrower nor any of its constituent Persons are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of Borrower’s assets or property, and Borrower has no actual knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or such constituent Persons.

4.1.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects, nor as far as Borrower can foresee, might adversely

affect, any Individual Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower.

4.1.9 No Plan Assets. Borrower does not sponsor, is not obligated to contribute to, and is not itself an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and none of the assets of Borrower constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101. In addition, (a) Borrower is not a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and (b) transactions by or with Borrower are not subject to any state or other statute , regulation or other restriction regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA which is similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and which prohibit or otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including but not limited to the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Loan Documents.

4.1.10 Compliance. To Borrower’s actual knowledge, Borrower and the Properties and the use thereof comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, building and zoning ordinances and codes. Borrower is not in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority. There has not been committed by Borrower or, to Borrower’s actual knowledge, any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Properties, any act or omission affording the federal government or any other Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against any Individual Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents.

4.1.11 Financial Information. All financial data, including, without limitation, the statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan (i) are true, complete and correct in all material respects, (ii) accurately represent the financial condition of Borrower and such Individual Property, as applicable, as of the date of such reports, and (iii) to the extent prepared or audited by an independent certified public accounting firm, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (or another basis of accounting acceptable to Lender and consistently applied), throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein. Except for Permitted Encumbrances, Borrower does not have any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to Borrower and reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on any Individual Property or the current operation thereof, except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no materially adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrower from that set forth in said financial statements.

4.1.12 Condemnation. No Condemnation or other proceeding has been commenced or, to Borrower’s actual knowledge, is threatened or contemplated with respect to all or any portion of any Individual Property or for the relocation of roadways providing access to any Individual Property.

4.1.13 Federal Reserve Regulations. No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation

U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose which would be inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other Regulations of such Board of Governors, or for any purposes prohibited by Legal Requirements or by the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

4.1.14 Utilities and Public Access. The applicable Individual Property has rights of access to public ways and is served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities adequate to service such Individual Property for its intended uses. All public utilities necessary or convenient to the full use and enjoyment of such Individual Property are located either in the public right of way abutting the Individual Property (which are connected so as to serve the Individual Property without passing over other property) or in recorded easements serving such Individual Property and such easements are set forth in the Title Insurance Policy. All roads necessary for the use of the Individual Property for its current purposes have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities.

4.1.15 Not a Foreign Person. Borrower is not a “foreign person” within the meaning of §1445(f)(3) of the Code.

4.1.16 Separate Lots. To Borrower’s actual knowledge, each Individual Property is comprised of one (1) or more parcels which constitute a separate tax lot or lots and does not constitute a portion of any other tax lot not a part of such Individual Property.

4.1.17 Assessments. To Borrower’s actual knowledge and except as set forth in the Title Insurance Policy, there are no pending or proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting any Individual Property nor are there any contemplated improvements to any Individual Property that may result in such special or other assessments.

4.1.18 Enforceability. To Borrower’s actual knowledge, the Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by Borrower or Guarantor, including the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Loan Documents unenforceable (subject to principles of equity and bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and the enforcement of debtors’ obligations), and neither Borrower nor Guarantor has asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.

4.1.19 No Prior Assignment. There are no prior collateral assignments of the Leases or any portion of the Rents due and payable or to become due and payable which are presently outstanding.

4.1.20 Insurance. Borrower has obtained and has delivered to Lender certified copies of the Policies, or insurance certificates in form reasonably acceptable to Lender, reflecting the insurance coverages, amounts and other requirements set forth in this Agreement. To Borrower’s actual knowledge, no claims have been made or are currently pending, outstanding or otherwise remain unsatisfied under any of the Policies and neither Borrower nor any other Person, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of any such Policy.

4.1.21 Use of Property. Each Individual Property is used exclusively for retail or commercial purposes and other appurtenant and related uses.

4.1.22 Certificate of Occupancy; Licenses. To Borrower’s actual knowledge, all certifications, permits, licenses and approvals, including without limitation, certificates of completion and occupancy permits, required for the legal use, occupancy and operation of each Individual Property have been obtained and are in full force and effect. The use being made of each Individual Property is in conformity with the certificate of occupancy issued for such Individual Property.

4.1.23 Flood Zone.

From the date hereof until payment and performance in full of all obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents or, solely with respect to any Individual Borrower that obtains the earlier release of the Lien of the Mortgage affecting such Individual Borrower’s Individual Property (and all related obligations) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then exclusive of any such Individual Borrower and such Individual Property so released, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender that:

5.1.1 Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements. Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights, licenses, permits and franchises and comply with all Legal Requirements applicable to it and the Properties.

Borrower hereby covenants and agrees not to commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording such right of forfeiture. Borrower shall at all times maintain, preserve and protect all franchises and trade names and preserve all the remainder of the Properties used or useful in the conduct of its business and shall keep the Properties in good working order and repair, and from time to time make, or cause to be made, all reasonably necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereto, all as more fully provided in the applicable Mortgage.

validity, applicability or violation of such Legal Requirement is finally established or any Individual Property (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.

5.1.2 Taxes and Other Charges. Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Properties or any part thereof as the same become due and payable; provided, however, Borrower’s obligation to directly pay (or cause to be paid) Taxes shall be suspended for so long as Borrower complies with the terms and provisions of Section 7.2 hereof.

Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any Lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a Lien or charge against the Properties (other than Permitted Encumbrances), and shall promptly pay for or cause to be paid all utility services provided to the Properties.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Tenant, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any Taxes or Other Charges, provided that (i) such contest is permitted under such Tenant’s Lease, (ii) such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (iii) either no Individual Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited or lost, or Borrower or Tenant shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be requested by Lender, to insure the payment of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all interest and penalties thereon; and (iv) Tenant shall be required to promptly upon final determination thereof pay the amount of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all costs, interest and penalties which may be payable in connection therewith. 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 any Individual Property (or part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost or there shall be any danger of the Lien of the Mortgage being primed by any related Lien (other than Permitted Encumbrances).

5.1.20 Leasing Matters. Any Leases written after the date hereof shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Upon request, Borrower shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Leases. All renewals of Leases and all proposed Leases shall provide for rental rates comparable to existing local market rates. All proposed Leases shall be on commercially reasonable terms and shall not contain any terms which would materially affect Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents. All Leases executed after the date hereof shall provide that they are subordinate to the applicable Mortgage and that the lessee agrees to attorn to Lender or any purchaser at a sale by foreclosure or power of sale. Borrower (i) shall observe and perform the obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases in a commercially reasonable manner; (ii) shall enforce and may amend or terminate the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the lessee thereunder to be observed or performed in a commercially reasonable manner and in a manner not to impair the value of the Individual Property involved except that no termination by Borrower or acceptance of surrender by a Tenant of any Leases shall be permitted unless by reason of a tenant default and then only in a commercially reasonable manner to preserve and protect the Individual Property; provided, however, that no such termination or

surrender of any Lease covering more than 6,000 square feet will be permitted without the prior written consent of Lender; (iii) shall not collect any of the rents more than one (1) month in advance (other than security deposits); (iv) shall not execute any other assignment of lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents (except as contemplated by the Loan Documents); (v) shall not alter, modify or change the terms of the Leases in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of the Loan Documents; and (vi) shall execute and deliver at the request of Lender all such further assurances, confirmations and assignments in connection with the Leases as Lender shall from time to time reasonably require. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all new Leases and all amendments, modifications, extensions, and renewals of existing Leases with Tenants that are Affiliates of Borrower shall be subject to the prior written consent of Lender.

To the extent Lender’s approval is required pursuant to this Section 5.1.20 to any Lease or modification, Borrower’s written request therefor shall be delivered together with such materials reasonably requested by Lender in order to evaluate such request (it being acknowledged and agreed that no request for consent shall be effective unless and until such materials have been delivered to Lender). Each such request shall conspicuously state, in large bold type on the top of the first page of such request, that “PURSUANT TO SECTION 5.1.20 OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT, THIS IS A REQUEST FOR LENDER’S CONSENT. LENDER’S RESPONSE IS REQUESTED WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) BUSINESS DAYS. LENDER’S FAILURE TO RESPOND WITHIN SUCH TIME PERIOD WILL ENABLE BORROWER TO DELIVER A SECOND NOTICE REQUESTING LENDER’S CONSENT”. In the event Lender fails to approve or disapprove to such initial request within fifteen (15) Business Days’ of the effective date of such initial request, Borrower may deliver to Lender a second written request for approval, which second written request for approval shall conspicuously state, in large bold type on the top of the first page of such request, that “THIS IS A REQUEST FOR LENDER’S CONSENT. LENDER’S CONSENT IS REQUESTED WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS. THE LEASE SHALL BE DEEMED APPROVED IF LENDER DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE CONTRARY WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS’ OF LENDER’S RECEIPT OF THIS WRITTEN NOTICE”. In the event that Lender fails to approve or disapprove the second written request within such five (5) Business Day period, then Lender’s consent shall be deemed to have been granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if four (4) or more Leases have been deemed approved pursuant to this Section 5.1.20, then Borrower shall not be entitled to receive deemed approval with respect to any additional Leases.

5.1.21 Alterations. Borrower shall obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any alterations to any Improvements, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender’s consent shall not be required in connection with any non-structural alterations, that will not have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s financial condition, the value of the Individual Property or the Individual Property’s Net Operating Income, and (a) that are performed pursuant to the terms and provisions of any Lease executed on or before the date hereof, (b) that are performed pursuant to the terms and provisions of any Lease executed after the date hereof, provided that such Lease shall satisfy the requirements of Section 5.1.20, or (c) that are performed in connection with the Restoration of any Individual Property after the occurrence of a Casualty or Condemnation in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. If the total unpaid amounts due and payable with respect to alterations to the Improvements at an Individual Property (other than such amounts to

be paid or reimbursed by Tenants under the Leases) shall at any time exceed $100,000.00 (the “Threshold Amount”), Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender as security for the payment of such amounts and as additional security for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents any of the following: (A) cash, (B) U.S. Obligations, (C) other securities having a rating acceptable to Lender and that, at Lender’s option, the applicable Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or, if higher, then current ratings assigned to any Securities or any class thereof in connection with any Securitization or (D) a completion and performance bond or an irrevocable letter of credit (payable on sight draft only) issued by a financial institution having a rating by S&P of not less than “A-1+” if the term of such bond or letter of credit is no longer than three (3) months or, if such term is in excess of three (3) months, issued by a financial institution having a rating that is acceptable to Lender and that, at Lender’s option, the applicable Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or, if higher, then current ratings assigned to any Securities or class thereof in connection with any Securitization. Such security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts with respect to alterations to the Improvements on the Individual Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by Tenants under the Leases) over the Threshold Amount and Lender may apply such security from time to time at the option of Lender to pay for such alterations.

5.1.22 Operation of Property.

(a) Borrower shall cause the Properties to be operated, in all material respects, in accordance with the Leases and Management Agreement (or Replacement Management Agreement) as applicable. In the event that the Management Agreement expires or an Individual Property is removed from the application of the Management Agreement (without limiting any obligation of Borrower to obtain Lender’s consent to any removal of an Individual Property from the application of the Management Agreement or modification of the Management Agreement as it relates to the Individual Property if required in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement), Borrower shall promptly enter into a Replacement Management Agreement with Manager or another Qualified Manager, as applicable. Borrower shall comply, and shall cause its Affiliates to comply, with any exclusive use provisions and radius restrictions granted in favor of Tenants in the Leases.

(b) Borrower shall: (i) promptly perform and/or observe, in all material respects, all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed and observed by it under the Management Agreement and do all things necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired its material rights thereunder; (ii) promptly notify Lender of any material default under the Management Agreement of which it is aware; (iii) promptly deliver to Lender a copy of each financial statement, business plan, capital expenditures plan, notice, report and estimate received by it with respect to the Individual Property under the Management Agreement; and (iv) enforce the performance and observance of all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed and/or observed by Manager under the Management Agreement, in a commercially reasonable manner.

5.1.23 Embargoed Person. Borrower has performed (or caused to be performed) and shall perform (or cause to be performed) reasonable due diligence to insure that at all times

throughout the term of the Loan, including after giving effect to any Transfers permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents, (a) none of the funds or other assets of Borrower, Principal and Cole Credit Property Trust III, Inc. constitute property of, or are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any Embargoed Person; (b) no Embargoed Person has any interest of any nature whatsoever in Borrower, Principal or Cole Credit Property Trust III, Inc., as applicable, with the result that the investment in Borrower, Principal or Cole Credit Property Trust III, Inc., as applicable (whether directly or indirectly), is prohibited by law or the Loan is in violation of law; and (c) none of the funds of Borrower, Principal or Cole Credit Property Trust III, Inc., as applicable, have been derived from, or are the proceeds of, any unlawful activity, including money laundering, terrorism or terrorism activities, with the result that the investment in Borrower, Principal or Cole Credit Property Trust III, Inc., as applicable (whether directly or indirectly), is prohibited by law or the Loan is in violation of law, or may cause any Individual Property to be subject to forfeiture or seizure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that an Embargoed Person acquires a non-controlling interest in Cole Credit Property Trust III, Inc., without the knowledge of Borrower or Cole Credit Property Trust III, Inc., through a transaction brokered by a FINRA licensed broker dealer not affiliated with Cole Credit Property Trust III, Inc., provided such broker dealer has executed a dealer agreement or selling agreement with Cole Credit Property Trust III, Inc. or an affiliate of Cole Credit Property Trust III, Inc. in which it covenants to, among other things, comply with The USA PATRIOT Act (or any successor legislation), the resulting breach of the foregoing representations shall be deemed to be unintentional and not grossly negligent for purposes of Section 9.3 hereof.

5.1.24 Supplemental Mortgage Affidavits. As of the date hereof, each Individual Borrower represents that it has paid all state, county and municipal recording and all other taxes imposed upon the execution and recordation of the Mortgages. If at any time Lender determines (i) based on applicable law, that Lender is not being afforded the maximum amount of security available from any one or more of the Properties as a direct or indirect result of applicable taxes not having been paid with respect to any Individual Property or (ii) Lender and/or the Rating Agencies, in connection with a Securitization, require the amount secured by any Mortgage be increased, Borrower agrees that it will execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lender, immediately upon Lender’s request, supplemental affidavits and/or Mortgages increasing the amount of the Debt attributable to any such Individual Property (as set forth as the Release Amount on Schedule V annexed hereto) for which all applicable taxes have been paid to an amount determined by Lender, and Borrower shall, on demand, pay any additional taxes.

5.1.25 True Lease. Each Borrower shall reflect its applicable Lease in all applicable books, records and reports (including, without limitation, income tax filings) in a manner consistent with “true lease” treatment rather than “financing” treatment.

5.1.26 Denver Shortfall Payment. Each other Individual Borrower and Guarantor agree to pay any shortfall between (i) the Denver Purchase Option Price and (ii) all amounts due under Section 2.6.2 hereof in connection with the exercise of the Denver Purchase Option, including the Adjusted Release Amount for the Denver Individual Property and any applicable Yield Maintenance Premium (if such payment is made prior to the Permitted Par Prepayment Date) (the “Denver Shortfall Payment”).

5.1.27 Tenant Reports.

For so long as the Lease to Albertson’s remains in effect, Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered to Lender, the following:

(i) within 10 days after Borrower receives such information from Tenant, complete financial statements of Tenant including a balance sheet, profit and loss statement, statement of cash flows and all other related schedules for the fiscal period then ended. All such financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP (or such other accounting practices consistently applied) from period to period, and shall be certified to be accurate and complete by Tenant in all material respects (or the treasurer or other appropriate officer of Tenant). The annual financial statements of Tenant delivered pursuant to this Section shall be audited by independent accountants in accordance with GAAP (or such other accounting practices consistently applied);

Borrower has advised Lender that as more particularly set forth in Article 27 of the Albertson’s Lease, Tenant’s financial statements are confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender may disclose the following corporate level financial information in connection with a Securitization: net sales or operating revenues; income (loss) from continuing operations; income (loss) from continuing operations per common share; total assets; long-term obligations and redeemable preferred stock (including long-term debt, capital leases, and redeemable preferred stock); and, cash dividends declared per common share.

If Tenant does not provide the information required hereunder as required pursuant to the Albertson’s Lease, then Borrower shall take commercially reasonable efforts to require such Tenant to comply with the applicable provisions of its Lease and thereafter diligently pursue the same, provided, however, Borrower shall not be required pursuant to the foregoing covenant to declare an event of default under the applicable Lease.

Section 5.2 Negative Covenants. From the date hereof until payment and performance in full of all obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents or, solely with respect to any Individual Borrower that obtains the earlier release of the Lien of the Mortgage affecting such Individual Borrower’s Individual Property (and all related obligations) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then exclusive of such Individual Borrower and such Individual Property so released, Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender that it will not do, directly or indirectly, any of the following:

5.2.1 Operation of Property.

(a) Borrower shall not, without Lender’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld): (i) surrender, terminate, cancel, amend or modify the Management Agreement as it relates to the Properties; provided, that Borrower may, without Lender’s consent, replace the Manager so long as the replacement manager is a Qualified Manager pursuant to a Replacement Management Agreement and remove an Individual Property from the application of the Management Agreement in connection with such replacement; (ii) reduce or consent to the reduction of the term of the Management Agreement as it relates to an Individual Property; (iii) increase or consent to the increase of the amount of any charges under the Management Agreement as it relates to the Individual Property; or (iv) otherwise modify,

change, supplement, alter or amend, or waive or release any of its rights and remedies under, the Management Agreement as it relates to the Individual Property in any material respect.

(b) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall not exercise any rights, make any decisions, grant any approvals or otherwise take any action under the Management Agreement as it relates to the Properties without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be granted, conditioned or withheld in Lender’s sole discretion.

5.2.4 Change In Business. Borrower shall not enter into any line of business other than the ownership and operation of the Properties, or make any material change in the scope or nature of its business objectives, purposes or operations, or undertake or participate in activities other than the continuance of its present business. Nothing contained in this Section 5.2.4 is intended to expand the rights of Borrower contained in Section 5.2.10(d) hereof.

5.2.5 Debt Cancellation. Borrower shall not cancel or otherwise forgive or release any claim or debt (other than termination of Leases in accordance herewith) owed to Borrower by any Person, except for adequate consideration and in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business.

5.2.7 No Joint Assessment. Borrower shall not suffer, permit or initiate the joint assessment of any Individual Property (a) with any other real property constituting a tax lot separate from any Individual Property, and (b) which constitutes real property with any portion of any Individual Property which may be deemed to constitute personal property, or any other

procedure whereby the lien of any taxes which may be levied against such personal property shall be assessed or levied or charged to such real property portion of any Individual Property.

5.2.8 Intentionally Omitted.

5.2.9 ERISA.

(a) Borrower shall not engage in any transaction which would cause any obligation, or action taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt (under a statutory or administrative class exemption) prohibited transaction under ERISA.

(b) Borrower further covenants and agrees to deliver to Lender such certifications or other evidence from time to time throughout the term of the Loan, as requested by Lender in its sole discretion, that (A) Borrower is not and does not maintain an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, which is subject to Title I of ERISA, or a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA; (B) Borrower is not subject to any state statute regulating investment of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to governmental plans and (C) one or more of the following circumstances is true:

Borrower acknowledges that Lender has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Properties so as to ensure that, should Borrower default in the repayment of the Debt or the performance of the Other Obligations, Lender can recover the Debt by a sale of the Properties.

(b) Without the prior written consent of Lender, and except to the extent otherwise set forth in this Section 5.2.10 , Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Party do any of the following (collectively, a “Transfer”): (i) sell, convey, mortgage, grant, bargain, encumber, pledge, assign, grant options with respect to, or otherwise transfer or dispose of (directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, and whether or not for consideration or of record) the Properties or any part thereof or any legal or beneficial

ARTICLE 6 — INSURANCE; CASUALTY; CONDEMNATION;

Section 6.1 Insurance.

(a) From the date hereof until payment and performance in full of all obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents or, solely with respect to any Individual Borrower that obtains the earlier release of the Lien of the Mortgage affecting such Individual Borrower’s Individual Property (and all related obligations) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then exclusive of any such Individual Borrower and such Individual Property so released, Borrower shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be maintained, insurance for Borrower and the Properties providing at least the following coverages:

(i) comprehensive all risk “special form” insurance including, but not limited to, loss caused by any type of windstorm or hail on the Improvements and the Personal Property, (A) in an amount equal to 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) with a waiver of depreciation; (B) containing an agreed amount endorsement with respect to the Improvements and Personal Property waiving all co-insurance provisions or to be written on a no co-insurance form; and (C) providing for no deductible in excess of $10,000.00 for all such insurance coverage; provided however with respect to windstorm

and earthquake coverage, providing for a deductible satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion. In addition, Borrower shall obtain: (y) if any portion of the Improvements is currently or at any time in the future located in a federally designated “special flood hazard area”, flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Note or (2) 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 or such greater amount as Lender shall reasonably require, and (z) earthquake insurance in amounts and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender in the event the Individual Property is located in an area with a high degree of seismic activity; provided that the insurance pursuant to clauses (y) and (z) hereof shall be on terms consistent with the comprehensive all risk insurance policy required under this subsection (i);

(ii) business income or rental loss insurance (A) with loss payable to Lender; (B) covering all risks required to be covered by the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above; (C) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the projected gross revenues from the operation of the Properties (as reduced to reflect expenses not incurred during a period of Restoration) for a period of at least eighteen (18) months after the date of the Casualty; and (D) containing 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 Individual 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. The amount of such business income or rental loss insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the gross revenues from the Individual Property for the succeeding twelve (12) month period. All proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection (ii) shall be deemed Rents and, as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, shall be applied by Lender in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement, except if Lender has elected, in accordance with its rights under Section 6.3 hereof, to apply Net Proceeds in respect of any Casualty or Condemnation to the payment of the Debt or Other Obligation, in which case Lender shall apply such proceeds in accordance with Section 2.4.2 hereof. 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 this Agreement and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;

(iii) at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, and only if the Individual Property coverage form does not otherwise apply, (A) owner’s contingent or protective liability insurance, otherwise known as Owner Contractor’s Protective Liability, covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the below mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy and (B) the insurance provided for in subsections (i), (ii) and (x) above written in a so-called builder’s risk completed value form (1) on a non-

reporting basis, (2) against all risks insured against pursuant to subsections (i), (ii) and (x) above, (3) including permission to occupy the Individual Property and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;

(iv) comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, if steam boilers or other pressure-fixed vessels are in operation, in amounts as shall be reasonably required by Lender on terms consistent with the commercial property insurance policy required under subsection (i) above;

(v) commercial general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Individual Property, such insurance (A) to be on the so-called “occurrence” form with a combined limit of not less than Two Million and 00/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00) in the aggregate and One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence; (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 on an “if any” basis; (3) independent contractors; (4) blanket contractual liability for all written contracts and (5) contractual liability covering the indemnities contained in Article 9 of the Mortgage to the extent the same is available;

(vi) automobile liability coverage for all owned and non-owned vehicles, including rented and leased vehicles containing minimum limits per occurrence of One Million Dollars and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00);

(vii) worker’s compensation and employer’s liability subject to the worker’s compensation laws of the applicable state;

(viii) ordinance & law coverage with minimum limits as follows: Coverage A (value of undamaged portion) to be ‘included’ in the insured replacement cost limit; Coverage B (demolition/debris removal) to be 25% of the building’s replacement cost limit, and Coverage C (increased cost of construction) to be 25% of the building’s replacement cost value;

(ix) umbrella and excess liability insurance in an amount not less than $50,000,000.00 per occurrence on terms consistent with the commercial general liability insurance policy required under subsection (v) above, including, but not limited to, supplemental coverage for employer liability and automobile liability, which umbrella liability coverage shall apply in excess of the automobile liability coverage in clause (vi) above;

(x) the insurance required under this Section 6.1(a) above shall cover perils of terrorism (both certified and non-certified, foreign and domestic) and acts of terrorism (both certified and non-certified, foreign and domestic) and Borrower shall maintain insurance for loss resulting from perils and acts of terrorism (both foreign and domestic) on terms (including amounts) consistent with those required under Sections 6.1(a) above at all times during the term of the Loan; provided, that, if the Terrorism Risk Insurance

Program Reauthorization Act of 2007, as amended and as may be further amended from time to time (including any extensions thereof), is no longer in effect, Borrower shall only be required to obtain such insurance under this Section 6.1(a)(x) to the extent obtainable for an annual premium not to exceed the applicable Terrorism Insurance Premium Cap; and

(xi) upon sixty (60) days written notice, such other reasonable insurance, including, but not limited to, sinkhole or land subsidence 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 Individual Property located in or around the region in which the Individual Property is located.

(b) All insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) hereof, 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, and deductibles, and shall designate Lender as loss payee, mortgagee or additional insured, as applicable. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State and having a rating of “A-:X” or better in the current Best’s Insurance Reports and a claims paying ability rating of “A-” or better by at least two (2) of the Rating Agencies including, (i) S&P, (ii) Fitch, and (iii) Moody’s, if Moody’s is rating the Securities. The Policies described in Section 6.1 hereof (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) shall designate Lender as loss payee. Not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the expiration dates of each Policy theretofore furnished to Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender evidence satisfactory to Lender that such Policy has been renewed or replaced by another policy conforming to the provisions of Section 6.1. Borrower shall provide confirmation that all renewed or replaced premiums (the “Insurance Premiums”) have been paid in full, no later than (A) in the case of Borrower provided Policies, the date the premiums on each such Policy shall be delinquent, or (B) in the case of Tenant provided Policies, two (2) Business Days after the date such Tenant is required to provide such proof to Borrower under the applicable Lease.

(c) Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Individual 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 Individual Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a) hereof.

(d) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a) hereof, except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(vii) of this Agreement, shall name Borrower as the insured and shall designate Lender as loss payee, mortgagee or additional insured, as applicable, 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 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, 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 Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled without at least thirty (30) days 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 Policy has not been renewed thirty (30) days prior to its expiration, unless the applicable insurers will not agree to provide such notice; and

(iv) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.

(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 (except as provided below), to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Properties, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate after three (3) Business Days notice to Borrower if prior to the date upon which any such coverage will lapse or at any time Lender deems necessary (regardless of prior notice to Borrower) to avoid the lapse of any such coverage. 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.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Albertson’s obtains insurance from a third-party insurer satisfying the requirements hereof with respect to its Individual Property (including, without limitation, naming Lender as an additional insured or loss payee, as applicable), such insurance shall satisfy Borrower’s obligations hereunder. In addition, if Albertson’s obtains insurance from a third-party insurer satisfying the requirements hereof in all respects other than the carrier’s rating in the current Best’s Insurance Reports, such insurance will be deemed to satisfy Borrower’s obligations hereunder provided (A) the applicable carrier’s rating in the current Best’s Insurance Reports satisfies the requirements of the Albertson’s Lease, and (B) Borrower provides (or causes to be provided) secondary coverage either through a separate insurance Policy or a blanket insurance Policy covering substantially all real property owned directly or indirectly by Guarantor, including, without limitation, the Property, which such coverage shall (i) be provided by a carrier that satisfies the ratings requirements set forth herein, and (ii) include coverage for perils which are required pursuant to Section 6.1 and not covered or collectible from insurance provided by Albertson’s.

(h) Lender acknowledges that the insurance in place as of the date hereof, as evidenced by the certificates of insurance provided by Borrower and/or Tenant in connection with the closing of the Loan, shall be deemed to satisfy the foregoing requirements as in effect on the date hereof.

Section 6.2 Casualty. If any Individual Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part (other than damage costing less than $25,000 to repair), by fire or other casualty

(a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 6.2, the applicable Individual Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute, or cause to be promptly commenced and diligently prosecuted, the completion of the Restoration of the Individual Property pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof as nearly as possible to the condition the Individual Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4 hereof. Borrower shall pay (or cause to be paid) 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. In addition, Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies (and shall approve the final settlement, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than five percent (5%) of the Release Amount for the applicable Individual Property, and Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation.

Section 6.3 Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of any Individual Property 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 Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower, at its expense, shall 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 any portion of the Individual Property is taken by a condemning authority, subject to the last sentence of this Section 6.3, the applicable Individual Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute, or cause to be promptly commenced and diligently prosecuted, the completion of the Restoration of the Individual Property pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4 hereof. If the Individual 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 6.4 Restoration. The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of an Individual Property:

(a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than five percent (5%) of the Release Amount for the applicable Individual Property and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than five percent (5%) of the Release Amount for the applicable Individual Property, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.4(b)(i) hereof 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 five percent (5%) of the Release Amount for the applicable Individual Property or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than five percent (5%) of the Release Amount for the applicable Individual Property, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4. The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section 6.4 shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 6.1 (a)(i), (iv), (ix) and (x) as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting 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;

(B) (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than forty percent (40%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the Individual Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than twenty five percent (25%) of the land constituting the Individual Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Individual Property, and no material portion of the Improvements is located on such land;

(C) Leases demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to or greater than the Rentable Space Percentage of the total rentable space in the Individual 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, shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, and Borrower and/or Tenant, as applicable under the respective Lease, will make all necessary repairs and restorations thereto at their sole cost and expense. The term “Rentable Space Percentage” shall mean (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, a percentage amount equal to ninety percent (90%) and (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, a percentage amount equal to ninety percent (90%);

(D) Borrower shall commence or cause to be commenced 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 Individual Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(ii) hereof, if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;

(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 Anticipated Repayment Date, (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Leases, (3) such time as may be required under all applicable Legal Requirements in order to repair and restore the Individual Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty or to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such Condemnation, as applicable, or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(ii) hereof;

(G) the Individual Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable 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;

(I) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Individual Property or the Improvements;

(J) the projected Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Properties, in the aggregate, for the twelve months after the Restoration, after giving effect to the Restoration at the applicable Individual Property, shall be equal to or greater than 1.30 to 1.0;

(K) 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 subject to Lender’s approval; and

(L) the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration (provided that Borrower shall not be required to deposit any cash or cash equivalent with Lender if the Net Proceeds and the costs of completing the Restoration are each less than One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) and the conditions in the preceding subsections (A) through (K) shall be satisfied).

(ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing Eligible Account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(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 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 Restoration have been paid for in full, and (B) 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.

(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 (the “Casualty Consultant”), such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 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 under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and approval by Lender and the Casualty Consultant, such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. All reasonable 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 Casualty Consultant’s reasonable fees, shall be paid by Borrower.

(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 Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty 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 Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-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 Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty 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 Casualty 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 opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty 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 Section 6.4(b) shall 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 Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(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 deposited in the Cash Management Account to be disbursed in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement, 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 6.4(b)(vii) hereof may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt in accordance with Section 2.4.2 hereof, or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall approve, in its discretion.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.4(a), (b) or (c) above, if immediately after giving effect to the release of the portion of the Property taken through Condemnation, the loan-to-value ratio of the remaining Property, as determined by Lender in its sole discretion exceeds 125%, all Condemnation Proceeds shall be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt in accordance with Section 2.4.2 hereof. Unless Lender determines that applicable REMIC regulations or other applicable authority require a different valuation method, Lender shall determine the loan-to-value ratio of the remaining Property by capitalizing net operating income for such Property for such period using a capitalization rate or range of capitalization rates that the Lender has no reason to believe is incorrect.

(e) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage with respect to an Individual Property, or other transfer of title to an Individual Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning such Individual Property (other than to the extent those Policies provide liability coverage to Borrower) and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

(f) If Albertson’s is leasing all or substantially all of a building located on an Individual Property, and the Improvements thereon suffer a Casualty or Condemnation, then provided (i) Albertson’s is not in monetary or material non-monetary default under its Lease for such Individual Property, (ii) such Lease remains in full force and effect notwithstanding such Casualty or Condemnation, (iii) Albertson’s remains liable for the obligations under such Lease (without reduction or abatement unless covered by business interruption/rent loss insurance), and (iv) such Lease requires Restoration of the Improvements, such Lease shall govern and control in the event of a conflict between the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.4 and such Lease.

ARTICLE 7 — RESERVE FUNDS

Section 7.1 Required Repairs.

7.1.1 Deposits. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the aggregate amount for the Properties set forth on Schedule III-A and Schedule III-B (together, Schedule III) as security for the performance of the Required Repairs (hereinafter defined) for the Properties. Amounts so deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender in accordance with Section 7.6 hereof. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Required Repair Fund” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Required Repair Account”. Lender acknowledges that Albertson’s, under the Albertson’s Lease, is responsible for the Required Repairs with respect to the Properties. Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Albertson’s to perform the repairs at the Properties, as more particularly set forth on Schedule III hereto (such repairs hereinafter referred to as “Required Repairs”) on or before the required deadline for each repair as set forth on Schedule III-A and Schedule III-B, respectively. It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if (i) Borrower does not use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Albertson’s to perform the Required Repairs listed on Schedule III-B by the required deadline for each repair, or (ii) if Borrower or Albertson’s does not complete the Required Repairs listed on Schedule III-A by the required deadline for each repair. Borrower and Lender acknowledge that with respect to Minor Required Repairs only, for purposes of the foregoing clause (i), “commercially reasonable efforts” (x) shall include sending a written demand letter regarding the Required Repairs to Albertson’s, which demand letter shall be resent not less than once every six months until the applicable Required Repair has been completed, and (y) shall not require that Borrower declare a default under the applicable Albertson’s Lease if Albertson’s fails to complete any of the Required Repairs. In addition to its other remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Section 7.1.1, Lender, at its option, may withdraw all Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account and Lender may apply such funds either to completion of the Required Repairs at the Property or toward

payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion.

7.1.2 Release of Required Repair Funds. Lender shall disburse to Borrower the Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account from time to time upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions: (a) Borrower shall submit a written request for payment to Lender at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made and specifies the Required Repairs to which the request relates, (b) on the date such request is received by Lender and on the date such payment is to be made, no Event of Default shall exist, (c) Lender shall have received an Officers’ Certificate stating that all Required Repairs related to the requested disbursement have been completed in good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, together with such other evidence of completion reasonably required by Lender; in addition, if such Required Repairs were performed by Borrower, Borrower shall (i) provide to Lender a copy of any license, permit or other approval by any Governmental Authority required to commence and/or complete the Required Repairs, (ii) shall identify in the Officer’s Certificate each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement, and (iii) shall certify in such Officer’s Certificate that each such Person has been paid in full or will be paid in full upon such disbursement, such Officers’ Certificate to be accompanied by lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender, and (d) Lender shall have received such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed and are paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrower. Lender shall not be required to make disbursements from the Required Repair Account with respect to an Individual Property (i) more than once a month, and (ii) unless such requested disbursement is in an amount greater than $25,000.00 (or a lesser amount if the total amount in the Required Repair Account is less than $25,000.00), in which case only one disbursement of the amount remaining in the account shall be made) and such disbursement shall be made only upon satisfaction of each condition contained in this Section 7.1.2.

Section 7.2 Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Borrower shall pay to Lender (a) on the Closing Date an initial deposit and (b) on each Payment Date thereafter (i) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Taxes and Other Charges that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes and Other Charges at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, and (ii) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order 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 Escrow Fund”). Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Sections 5.1.2 and 6.1 hereof and under the Mortgage. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, 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 Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes, Other

Charges and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Sections 5.1.2 and 6.1 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 Escrow Fund. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the Taxes and Other Charges and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereinbefore contained, Lender shall waive the requirement set forth herein for Borrower to make deposits for the payment of Insurance Premiums into the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund so long as (a) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (b) Borrower shall have provided Lender with satisfactory evidence (as determined by Lender) that each Individual Property is insured in accordance with Section 6.1 of this Agreement.

Further notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereinbefore contained, Lender shall waive the requirement set forth herein for Borrower to make deposits for the payment of Taxes into the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund so long as (a) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) Taxes are actually paid prior to assessment of any penalty for late payment and prior to delinquency and (c) Borrower provides to Lender evidence satisfactory to Lender that such Taxes have been paid prior to assessment of any penalty for late payment and prior to delinquency which evidence shall be provided to Lender no later than thirty (30) days after the date that such Taxes would be delinquent if not paid.

Section 7.3 Intentionally Omitted.

Section 7.4 Intentionally Omitted.

Section 7.5 Excess Cash Flow Reserve Fund.

7.5.1 Deposits to Excess Cash Flow Reserve Fund. During a Cash Sweep Period prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date, all Excess Cash Flow in the Cash Management Account shall be deposited with Lender and held by Lender as additional security for the Loan, and amounts so held shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Excess Cash Flow Reserve Fund” and the account to which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account”. If on or prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date Borrower does not pay to Lender the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, then, on the Anticipated Repayment Date, all funds in the Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account shall be applied pursuant to the second sentence of Section 2.3.1(b) hereof. Following the Anticipated Repayment Date, all Excess Cash Flow in the Cash Management Account shall be applied by Lender pursuant to Section 2.3.1(b) hereof.

7.5.2 Release of Excess Cash Flow Reserve Funds. Upon the occurrence of a Cash Sweep Event Cure, all Excess Cash Flow Reserve Funds shall be deposited into the Cash

Management Account as revenue from the Property to be disbursed in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement. Any Excess Cash Flow Reserve Funds remaining after the Debt has been paid in full shall be paid to Borrower.

Section 7.6 Reserve Funds, Generally.

(a) Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in each of the Reserve Funds and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each Reserve Fund as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the payment of the Debt in any order in its sole discretion.

(c) The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. The Reserve Funds shall be held in an Eligible Account in Permitted Investments as directed by Lender or Lender’s Servicer. All interest on a Reserve Fund shall be added to and become a part thereof. Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to the interest earned on the Reserve Funds credited or paid to Borrower.

(d) Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Reserve Fund or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.

(e) As long as Reserve Funds are invested in investments that constitute Permitted Investments at the time such investments are made, Lender and Servicer shall not be liable for any loss sustained on the investment of any funds constituting the Reserve Funds. Borrower shall indemnify Lender and Servicer and hold Lender and Servicer harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Reserve Funds or the performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds were established, unless arising from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the party seeking indemnification. Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all persons or entities supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Reserve Funds; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.

(f) The required monthly deposits into the Reserve Funds and the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender.

(g) Any amount remaining in the Reserve Funds after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower.

Section 8.2 Remedies.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to Section 9.3, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any part of any Individual Property. Subject to Section 9.3, any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing and to the fullest extent permitted by law (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against each Individual Property and each Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full. With respect to Borrower and the Properties, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any Individual Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Properties, or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose a Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured by such Mortgage then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Mortgages to recover such delinquent payments or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Mortgages to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by one or more of the Mortgages as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the remaining Properties shall remain subject to the Mortgages to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgages and not previously recovered, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(b) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and provided that such severance agreement and other documents incorporate the provisions of Section 9.3. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints

Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until ten (10) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided no Event of Default shall then exist, Borrower’s liability for costs or expenses shall be subject to Section 9.6 below.

Section 8.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and, subject to Section 9.3, not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower 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.

ARTICLE 9 — SPECIAL PROVISIONS

Section 9.1 Securitization.

9.1.1 Sale of Notes and Securitization.

(a) Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender may sell all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents, or issue one or more participations therein, or consummate one or more private or public securitizations of rated single- or multi-class securities (the “Securities”) secured by or evidencing ownership interests in all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents or a pool of assets that include the Loan and the Loan Documents (such sales, participations and/or securitizations, collectively, a “Securitization”).

(b) At the request of Lender, and to the extent not already required to be provided by or on behalf of Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to provide information not in the possession of Lender or which may be reasonably required by Lender or take other actions reasonably required by Lender, in each case in order to satisfy the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required by

prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Securitization. Lender shall have the right to provide to prospective investors and the Rating Agencies any information in its possession, including, without limitation, financial statements relating to Borrower, Guarantors, if any, the Property and any Tenant of the Improvements. Borrower acknowledges that certain information regarding the Loan and the parties thereto and the Property may be included in a private placement memorandum, prospectus or other disclosure documents (the “Disclosure Documents”). Borrower agrees that each of Borrower, Principal, Guarantor and their respective officers and representatives, shall, at Lender’s request, and subject to Section 9.6 below, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, cooperate with Lender’s efforts to arrange for a Securitization in accordance with the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres and/or which may be required by prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Securitization. Borrower, Principal and Guarantor agree to review, at Lender’s request in connection with the Securitization, the Disclosure Documents as such Disclosure Documents relate to Borrower, Principal, Guarantor, the Properties and the Loan, including without limitation, the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Special Considerations,” “Description of the Mortgage,” “Description of the Mortgage Loan and Mortgaged Property,” “The Manager,” “The Borrower,” and “Certain Legal Aspects of the Mortgage Loan,” and shall confirm that the factual statements and representations contained in such sections and such other information in the Disclosure Documents (to the extent such information relates to, or is based on, or includes any information regarding the Properties, Borrower, Guarantor, Manager and/or the Loan) do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(c) In connection with a Securitization, Borrower agrees to make, upon Lender’s written request, without limitation, all structural or other changes to the Loan (including delivery of one or more new component notes to replace the original note or modify the original note to reflect multiple components of the Loan and such new notes or modified note may have different interest rates and amortization schedules), modifications to any documents evidencing or securing the Loan, creation of one or more mezzanine loans (including amending Borrower’s organizational structure to provide for one or more mezzanine borrowers), modification of Borrower’s organizational documents (including, without limitation, in the case of a limited partnership, to increase the general partner’s percentage ownership in the partnership to not less than 0.5%), delivery of opinions of counsel acceptable to the Rating Agencies or potential investors and addressing such matters as the Rating Agencies or potential investors may require; provided, however, that in creating such new notes or modified notes or mezzanine notes Borrower shall not be required to (i) modify the weighted average interest rate payable under the Note (and further provided that any subsequent prepayment of the Loan shall be applied on a pro-rata basis to all promissory notes so that the weighted average interest rate does not change), (ii) modify the stated maturity of the Note, (iii) modify the aggregate amortization of principal of the Note, (iv) modify any other material economic term of the Loan, or (v) decrease the time periods during which Borrower is permitted to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents. In connection with the foregoing, Borrower covenants and agrees to modify the Cash Management Agreement to reflect the newly created components and/or mezzanine loans.

9.1.2 Securitization Costs. Subject to Section 9.6 below, all out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses incurred by Borrower and Guarantor in connection with Borrower’s

complying with requests made under this Section 9.1 (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of the Rating Agencies and expenses incurred pursuant to Section 9.1.1(c)) shall be paid by Borrower.

Section 9.2 Uncross of Properties.

(a) Each Individual Borrower agrees that Lender shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to release any Individual Property (the “Affected Property”) or Individual Borrower from the cross-defaulting and/or the cross-collateralization effected pursuant to the grant of the Mortgage from such Individual Borrower and secured by the lien of the applicable Mortgage. In furtherance thereof, Lender shall have the right to (i) sever and divide the Note and the other Loan Documents in order to allocate to such Affected Property the portion of the Loan allocable to such Individual Property (the “Allocated Loan Amount”) which portion shall be evidenced by a new note and secured by such other loan documents (collectively, the “New Note”) having a principal amount equal to the Allocated Loan Amount applicable to such Affected Property, (ii) segregate the applicable portion of each of the Reserve Funds relating to the Affected Property, (iii) release any cross-default and/or cross-collateralization provisions applicable to such Affected Property and (iv) take such additional action consistent therewith; provided, that such New Note secured by such Affected Property, together with the Loan Documents secured by the remaining Properties, shall not increase in the aggregate (A) any monetary obligation of Borrower under the Loan Documents (provided, however, it being acknowledged and agreed that such New Note shall immediately after the dividing of the Note have the same initial weighted average coupon as the original Note prior to such dividing, notwithstanding that such New Note may, in connection with the application of principal to such New Note, subsequently cause the weighted average coupon of such New Note to change (but not increase, except that the weighted average coupon may subsequently increase due to prepayments or if an Event of Default shall occur)), or (B) any other obligation of Borrower under the Loan Documents in any material respect or decrease the rights of Borrower under the Loan Documents. In connection with the transfer of any such Affected Property as provided for in this Section 9.2, the Loan shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of the New Note applicable to such Affected Property and the new loan secured by such Affected Property and the New Note shall be in an amount equal to such Allocated Loan Amount. Subsequent to the release of the Affected Property from the lien of the Loan pursuant to this Section 9.2, the balances of the components of the Loan shall be the same as they would have been had a prepayment occurred in an amount equal to the Allocated Loan Amount of the Affected Property. At the request of Lender, each Individual Borrower shall otherwise cooperate with Lender in its attempt to satisfy all requirements necessary in order for Lender to obtain written confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such transfer of the Affected Property from the Securitization and splitting of the Loan shall not cause a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then current ratings of the Securities or any class thereof, which requirements shall include, without limitation: (A) delivery of evidence that the single purpose nature and bankruptcy remoteness of each Individual Borrower owning an Individual Property other than the Affected Property following such release have not been adversely affected and are in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement (which evidence may include a “bring-down” of the Insolvency Opinion); and (B) the execution of such documents and instruments and delivery by Lender of such opinions of counsel as are typical for similar transactions, including, an opinion of counsel that the release of the Affected Property will not be a “significant modification” of this Loan

within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(b) of the regulations of the United States Department of the Treasury and that all other requirements applicable, if any, to the REMIC Trust that holds the Note (if applicable), have been satisfied or have not otherwise been violated. Subject to Section 9.6 below, Borrower shall be responsible for its own actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the provisions of this Section 9.2(a), including without limitation, payment of any mortgage recording tax or title insurance premiums.

(b) In addition to the foregoing, each Individual Borrower agrees that Lender shall have the unilateral right, at any time and from time to time prior to a Securitization, to divide the Loan into two or more Loans which are not cross-defaulted and/or cross-collateralized. Lender may designate two or more groups of Individual Properties and Individual Borrowers (each, a “Loan Group”) for such new Loans. Such new Loans shall be internally cross-defaulted and/or cross-collateralized. Lender reserves the right to structure each Loan Group as one or more senior and/or junior mortgage components, and/or mezzanine loans. In furtherance thereof, Lender shall have the right to (i) sever or divide the Note and the other Loan Documents in order to allocate to each such Loan Group the applicable Allocated Loan Amount, which shall be evidenced by two or more promissory notes and related security documents (each, collectively, a “Split Note”), (ii) segregate the applicable portion of each of the Reserve Funds relating to each Loan Group, (iii) release any cross-default and/or cross-collateralization provisions applicable to such Loan Groups, and (iv) take such additional action consistent therewith; provided, that all such Split Notes, together, shall not increase in the aggregate (A) any monetary obligation of Borrower under the Loan Documents (provided, however, it being acknowledged and agreed that such Split Notes shall immediately after the dividing of the Note have the same initial weighted average coupon as the original Note prior to such dividing, notwithstanding that such Split Notes may, in connection with the application of principal to such Split Notes, subsequently cause the weighted average coupon of such Split Notes to change (but not increase, except that the weighted average coupon may subsequently increase due to prepayments or if an Event of Default shall occur)), or (B) any other obligation of Borrower under the Loan Documents in any material respect or decrease the rights of Borrower under the Loan Documents. At the request of Lender, each Individual Borrower shall otherwise cooperate with Lender in connection with the foregoing, which cooperation shall include, without limitation: (a) additional Loan Documents or amendments to existing Loan Documents as reasonably required by Lender, (b) new opinions or updates to the legal opinions delivered to Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan, (c) endorsements and/or updates to the Title Insurance Policies delivered to Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan, (d) a new cash management structure for each Loan Group, and (e) any other certificates, instruments and documents reasonably determined by Lender as necessary or appropriate to such severance, which documentation shall be in form and substance acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion. Lender’s rights pursuant to this Section 9.2(b) shall be in addition to Lender’s rights under Section 9.1.1(c), above, and shall not in any way shall limit or otherwise effect such rights. Subject to Section 9.6 below, Borrower shall be responsible for its own actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the provisions of this Section 9.2(b), including without limitation, payment of any mortgage recording tax, title insurance premiums and fees related to outside counsel legal opinions.

Section 9.3 Exculpation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents but subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform

and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents, or in one or more Properties, the Rents, or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Properties, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Mortgages (as long as Lender shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower); (c) affect the validity or enforceability of or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of any assignment of leases contained in the Mortgage; (f) constitute a prohibition against Lender seeking a deficiency judgment against Borrower (but not Guarantor) if necessary in order to fully realize the security granted by the Mortgages or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against any Individual Property; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and expenses reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following:

(iii) material physical waste of any Individual Property by or knowingly permitted by any Individual Borrower, Principal or Guarantor, or to which an Individual Borrower, Principal or Guarantor has knowledge of and has acquiesced to;

(iv) the removal or disposal by or knowingly permitted by any Individual Borrower, Principal or Guarantor or any Affiliate of the foregoing of any portion of any Individual Property after an Event of Default (unless otherwise permitted under the Loan Documents);

(v) the misapplication or conversion by any Individual Borrower, Principal or Guarantor of (A) any Insurance Proceeds paid by reason of any loss, damage or destruction to any Individual Property, (B) any Awards received in connection with a

(vi) failure of any Individual Borrower, Principal or Guarantor or any Affiliate of the foregoing to pay charges for labor or materials incurred, Taxes or other charges or judgments that can create Liens on any Individual Borrower’s interest in any portion of any Individual Property to the extent such Liens are not bonded over or discharged in accordance with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents;

(vii) failure to appoint a new property manager upon the request of Lender as permitted under this Agreement;

(viii) failure of any Individual Borrower or Principal to maintain its status as a Special Purpose Entity or a breach by any such party of any representation, warranty or covenant set forth in Section 4.1.30 hereof;

(ix) failure of any Individual Borrower to permit on-site inspections of its Individual Property subject to the rights of Tenants and any applicable cure period set forth in the Loan Documents;

(x) failure of any Individual Borrower to provide financial information as required under the Loan Documents subject to any applicable cure period (except for financial information required to be delivered by a Tenant pursuant to the applicable Lease that has not been delivered to Borrower, provided Borrower has requested such financial information from such Tenant);

(xi) the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification provision in the Environmental Indemnity, in this Agreement or in any Mortgage concerning environmental laws, hazardous substances or asbestos or any indemnification of Lender with respect thereto in either document;

(xii) any security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits collected with respect to any Individual Property which are not delivered to Lender upon a foreclosure of such Individual Property or action in lieu thereof, except to the extent any such security deposits were applied in accordance with the terms and conditions of any of the Leases prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default that gave rise to such foreclosure or action in lieu thereof;

(xiii) any failure to pay the Denver Shortfall Payment;

(xiv) any acts of terrorism that occur while Borrower does not have the insurance coverages required pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(x) hereof;

(xv) any unsatisfied deductible in the event of a claim under the insurance coverages described in Section 6.1(a)(x) hereof; and

(xvi) failure of any Individual Borrower to timely deliver evidence of payment of Taxes.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt secured by the Mortgages or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) the Debt shall be fully recourse to Borrower (i) in the event of: (a) any Individual Borrower or Principal filing a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (b) the filing of an involuntary petition against any Individual Borrower or Principal under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law in which such Individual Borrower, Principal or Guarantor colludes with, or otherwise assists such Person, or solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition against such Individual Borrower or Principal from any Person; (c) any Individual Borrower or Principal filing an answer consenting to or otherwise acquiescing in or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it, by any other Person under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (d) any Individual Borrower or Principal consenting to or acquiescing in or joining in an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for such Individual Borrower or Principal or any portion of any Individual Property (other than a receiver requested by Lender in connection with enforcement of its rights under the Loan Documents); (e) any Individual Borrower or Principal making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admitting, in writing or in any legal proceeding, its insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due; (ii) if the first full monthly payment of interest on the Note is not paid within five (5) days of notice that such payment is late (provided, however, that such grace period relates only to the recourse trigger described in this paragraph); (iii) if any Individual Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any Indebtedness or voluntary Lien encumbering the Property as required by the Loan Documents; or (iv) if any Individual Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any Transfer as required by this Agreement or the Mortgage.

Section 9.5 Servicer. At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a master servicer, primary servicer, special servicer and/or trustee (any such master servicer, primary servicer, special servicer, and trustee, together with its agents, nominees or designees, are collectively referred to as “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to Servicer pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement, servicing agreement, special servicing agreement or other agreement providing for the servicing of one or more mortgage loans (collectively, the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer.

Section 10.11 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.

Section 10.13 Expenses; Indemnity.

Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Lockbox Account or Cash Management Account, as applicable.

(b) Subject to Section 9.3 hereof, Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not an Indemnified Party shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or

any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to any Indemnified Party hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnified Parties.

(c) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any Rating Agency review of the Loan, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation. Any Rating Agency fees in connection with the initial Securitization shall be subject to Section 9.1.2 above.

Section 10.14 Schedules Incorporated. The Schedules annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.

Section 10.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.

Section 10.16 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

(a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Properties other than that of mortgagee, 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 performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that

Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

Section 10.17 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or Lender (including Affiliates of either such party) through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to Borrower, Lender, the Loan, the Loan Documents, the financing evidenced thereby, shall be subject to the prior written approval of the other party; provided however, the foregoing shall not apply to information included in Disclosure Documents or regulatory filings of Cole Credit Property Trust III, Inc.

Section 10.18 Cross-Default; Cross-Collateralization; Waiver of Marshalling of Assets.

(a) Each Individual Borrower acknowledges that Lender has made the Loan to Borrower upon the security of its collective interest in the Properties and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Properties taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of each Individual Property taken separately. Each Individual Borrower agrees that the Mortgages are and will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each other so that (i) an Event of Default under any of the Mortgages shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Mortgages which secure the Note; (ii) an Event of Default under the Note or this Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under each Mortgage; (iii) each Mortgage shall constitute security for the Note as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the Properties as security for the Note; and (iv) such cross-collateralization shall in no event be deemed to constitute a fraudulent conveyance.

(b) 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 Properties, 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 Properties 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 Properties in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, each Individual Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all of the Mortgages, any equitable right otherwise available to an Individual Borrower which would require the separate sale of the Properties or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any Individual Property or any combination of the Properties before proceeding against any other Individual Property or combination of Properties; and further in the event of such foreclosure each Individual Borrower does hereby expressly consents to and authorizes, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Properties.

Section 10.19 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.

Section 10.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle 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 Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.

Section 10.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower represents that except for Eastdil Secured (“Broker”) it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower will pay Broker a commission pursuant to a separate agreement. Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person (including Broker) that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. Lender represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Lender shall indemnify, defend and hold Borrower harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.

Section 10.22 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 10.23 Joint and Several Liability. If Borrower consists of more than one (1) Person, the obligations and liabilities of each Person shall be joint and several. The parties

100

hereto acknowledge that the defined term “Borrower” (as well as the defined term defining each other Collective Group) has been defined to collectively include each Individual Borrower (and in the case of each Collective Group, defined to collectively include each member of the same). It is the intent of the parties hereto in determining whether (a) a breach of a representation or a covenant has occurred, (b) there has occurred a Default or Event of Default, or (c) an event has occurred which would create recourse obligations under Section 9.3 of this Agreement, that any such breach, occurrence or event with respect to any Individual Borrower (or with respect to any single member of a Collective Group) shall be deemed to be such a breach, occurrence or event with respect to every Individual Borrower (and in the case of each Collective Group, each member of the same) and that every Individual Borrower need not have been involved with such breach, occurrence or event in order for the same to be deemed such a breach, occurrence or event with respect to every Individual Borrower (and likewise that each member of a Collective Group need not have been involved with such breach, occurrence or event in order for the same to be deemed such a breach, occurrence or event with respect to such Collective Group). The term “Collective Group” as used in this Agreement shall refer to each of the groups of entities represented in this Agreement by the following defined terms: Borrower and Principal. The obligations and liabilities of each Individual Borrower shall be joint and several.

Section 10.24 Certain Additional Rights of Lender (VCOC). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have:

(a) the right to routinely consult with and advise Borrower’s management regarding the significant business activities and business and financial developments of Borrower; provided, however, that such consultations shall not include discussions of environmental compliance programs or disposal of hazardous substances. Consultation meetings should occur on a regular basis (no less frequently than quarterly) with Lender having the right to call special meetings at any reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice;

(b) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books and records of Borrower at any reasonable times upon reasonable notice;

(c) the right, in accordance with the other terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 5.1.11 hereof, to receive monthly, quarterly and year end financial reports, including balance sheets, statements of income, shareholder’s equity and cash flow, a management report and schedules of outstanding indebtedness; and

(d) the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to approve any acquisition by Borrower of any other significant property (other than personal property required for the day to day operation of the Properties).

The rights described above in this Section 10.24 may be exercised by any entity which owns and controls, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the interests in Lender.
