ARTICLE 2.

GENERAL TERMS

Section 2.1            The Loan.  Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Lender hereby agrees to make and Borrowers hereby agree to accept the Loan on the Closing Date.

Section 2.2            Disbursement to Borrowers.  Borrowers may request and receive only one borrowing hereunder in respect of the Loan and any amount borrowed and repaid hereunder in respect of the Loan may not be re-borrowed.

Section 2.3            The Note and the other Loan Documents.  The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note and this Agreement and secured by this Agreement, the Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents.

Section 2.4            Use of Proceeds.  Borrowers shall use the proceeds of the Loan to (i) pay all past-due Taxes, Insurance Premiums and Other Charges, if any, in respect of any Property, (ii) make initial deposits of the Reserve Funds, (iii) pay costs and expenses incurred in connection with the closing of the Loan, and (iv) to the extent any proceeds remain after satisfying clauses (i) through (iii) above, for such lawful purpose as Borrowers shall designate.

Section 2.5            Interest Rate.

(a)           Generally. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue from the Closing Date up to but excluding the Maturity Date at the Interest Rate.

(b)           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 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.

(c)           Interest Calculation.  Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue at the Interest Rate calculated on an Actual/360 Basis.  Borrowers acknowledge that interest calculated on an Actual/360 Basis exceeds interest calculated on a 30/360 Basis and, therefore:  (i) a greater portion of each monthly installment of principal (if applicable) and interest will be applied to interest using the Actual/360 Basis than would be the case if interest accrued on a 30/360 Basis and (ii) the unpaid principal balance of the Loan on the Maturity Date will be greater using the Actual/360 Basis than would be the case if interest accrued on a 30/360 Basis.

22

(d)           Usury Savings.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrowers be 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, Borrowers are 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 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 and not on account of the interest due hereunder.  All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use or forbearance 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 from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

Section 2.6            Loan Payments.

(a)           Payment Before Maturity.  Borrowers shall make a payment to Lender of interest only on the Closing Date for the period from the Closing Date through the last day of the month in which the Closing Date occurs (unless the Closing Date is the first day of a calendar month, in which case no such separate payment of interest shall be due).  Borrowers shall make a payment to Lender of principal and interest in the amount of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount on the Monthly Payment Date occurring in January 1, 2013 and on each Monthly Payment Date thereafter to and including the Maturity Date.  Each payment shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and the balance, if any, to principal.  The Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount required hereunder is based upon a twenty five (25) year amortization schedule.

(b)           Intentionally Omitted.

(c)           Payment on Maturity.  Borrowers shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents.

(d)           Late Payment Charge.  If any principal, interest or any other sum due under the Loan Documents, other than the payment of principal due on the Maturity Date, is not paid by Borrowers within ten (10) days when due, Borrowers shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law 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 Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents.

23

(e)           Method and Place of Payment.

(i)            Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 10:00 A.M., California 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, 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.

(ii)           Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be deemed to be the immediately succeeding Business Day.

(iii)          All payments required to be made by Borrowers hereunder or under the Note or the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without deduction for, any setoff, claim or counterclaim and shall be made irrespective of any defense thereto.

Section 2.7            Prepayments.

(a)           Except as otherwise provided herein, Borrowers shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part.  On and after the Monthly Payment Date occurring three (3) months prior to the Maturity Date (the “Open Period Start Date”), Borrowers may, at their option and upon ten (10) days prior notice to Lender (or such shorter period of time as may be permitted by Lender in its sole discretion), prepay the Debt in whole, or, provided no Event of Default shall be continuing, in part, on any date without payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium.  Any prepayment received by Lender on a date other than a Monthly Payment Date shall include interest which would have accrued thereon to the next Monthly Payment Date (such amounts, the “Interest Shortfall”).

(b)           Mandatory Prepayments.  On each date on which Lender actually receives a distribution of Net Proceeds, and if such Net Proceeds are not made available to Borrowers for Restoration, Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Note in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds together with any applicable Interest Shortfall.  No Yield Maintenance Premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.7(b).

(c)           Prepayments After Default.  If during the continuance of an Event of Default (including an Event of Default that initially occurred prior to the Open Period Start Date and continues after the Open Period Start Date), payment of all or any part of the principal of the Loan is tendered by Borrowers, a purchaser at foreclosure or any other Person, such tender shall be deemed an attempt to circumvent the prohibition against prepayment prior to the Open Period Start Date as set forth herein and Borrowers, such purchaser at foreclosure or other Person shall pay (i) the Yield Maintenance Premium and (ii) Interest Shortfall, in addition to the outstanding principal balance, all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts payable under the Loan Documents.  Each Borrower acknowledges that (i) a prepayment will cause damage to Lender; (ii) the Yield

24

Maintenance Premium is intended to compensate Lender for the loss of its investment and the expense incurred and time and effort associated with making the Loan, which will not be fully repaid if the Loan is prepaid; (iii) it will be extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of Lender’s damages caused by a prepayment after an acceleration or any other prepayment not permitted by the Loan Documents; and (iv) the Yield Maintenance Premium represents Lender’s and Borrowers’ reasonable estimate of Lender’s damages from the prepayment and is not a penalty.

(d)           Release of Lien.  Except as expressly set forth in this Article 2, no repayment, prepayment or defeasance of all or any portion of the Note shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of the lien of any Security Instrument.

Section 2.8            Defeasance.

(a)           Borrowers shall have the right at any time after the Defeasance Lockout Release Date and prior to the Open Period Start Date to voluntarily defease (i) the entire Loan (a “Total Defeasance”) or (ii) in connection with the release of a Property pursuant to Section 2.9 (and subject to the conditions set forth therein) and provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and remain uncured (other than an Event of Default which would be cured by the release of the Property or Properties sought to be released), a portion of the Loan (a “Partial Defeasance”; any such Total Defeasance or Partial Defeasance, a “Defeasance”) and obtain a release of the lien of the applicable Security Instrument(s) by providing Lender with the Defeasance Collateral (hereinafter, a “Defeasance Event”), subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

(i)            Borrowers shall provide Lender not less than thirty (30) days notice (or such shorter period of time if permitted by Lender in its sole discretion) but not more than ninety (90) days notice specifying a date (the “Defeasance Date”) on which the Defeasance Event is to occur;

(ii)           Borrowers shall pay to Lender (A) all payments of principal and interest due and payable on the Loan to and including the Defeasance Date (provided that, if such Defeasance Date is not a Monthly Payment Date, Borrowers shall also pay to Lender all payments of principal and interest due on the Loan to and including the next occurring Monthly Payment Date to the extent not already included in Defeasance Collateral); (B) all other sums, if any, then due and payable under the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents through and including the Defeasance Date (or, if the Defeasance Date is not a Monthly Payment Date, the next occurring Monthly Payment Date to the extent not already included in Defeasance Collateral); (C) all escrow, closing, recording, legal, appraisal, Rating Agency and other actual reasonable, out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses paid or incurred by Lender or its agents in connection with the Defeasance Event, the release of the lien of Security Instruments on the Properties, the review of the proposed Defeasance Collateral and the preparation of the Security Agreements and related documentation; and (D) any revenue, documentary stamp, intangible or other

25

taxes, charges or fees due in connection with the transfer or assumption of the Note and/or the Defeasance Event.

(iii)          Borrower shall deposit the Defeasance Collateral into the Defeasance Collateral Account and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 2.8(d) hereof;

Section 4.3                                   Maintenance and Use of Properties.

50

(c)                                  Lender shall execute and deliver a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement on Lender’s then current standard form to Tenants under future Major Leases approved by Lender promptly upon request with such commercially reasonable changes as may be requested by Tenants, from time to time, as are reasonably acceptable to Lender.

(e)                                  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Borrowers shall not willfully withhold from Lender any information regarding renewal, extension, amendment, modification, waiver of provisions of, termination, rental reduction of, surrender of space of, or shortening of the term of, any Lease during the term of the Loan.

51

tenant(s) which certifies that all contingencies under the new Lease to the payment of full rent (including Borrowers’ contribution to the cost of any tenant improvement work, if any) have been satisfied).

(h)                                 If the Dunham Tenant exercises its option to purchase the Dunham Property pursuant to Section 8 of the 2nd Amendment to the Dunham Lease and referred to therein as the “Purchase Opportunity” (the “Dunham Purchase Opportunity”), Borrowers hereby covenant and agree that they shall elect to release the Dunham Property in accordance with Section 2.9 hereof, which release must be completed prior to any transfer of the Dunham Property to the Dunham Tenant.  The release of the Dunham Property in connection with the Dunham Tenant’s exercise of the Dunham Purchase Opportunity is subject to all the terms and conditions of Section 2.9 hereof.

52

cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Management Agreement in any material respect, and any such surrender of the Management Agreements or termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of the Management Agreement without the prior consent of Lender shall be void and of no force and effect.

(b)                                 If any Borrower shall default beyond any applicable notice or cure period in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of the Management Agreement on the part of any Borrower to be performed or observed, then, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing Borrowers from any of their obligations hereunder, Lender shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, upon written notice to Borrowers to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all the terms, covenants and conditions of the Management Agreement on the part of such Borrower to be performed or observed to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of such Borrower, to the end that the rights of Borrowers in, to and under the Management Agreement shall be kept unimpaired and free from default.  If Manager shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice sent to any Borrower of default under the Management Agreement, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender in good faith, in reliance thereon.

(c)                                  Borrowers shall notify Lender if Borrower becomes aware that any Manager sub-contracts to a third party or an Affiliate any or all of its management responsibilities under the applicable Management Agreement.  Borrowers shall, from time to time, commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain from Manager under the Management Agreement such certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance by Borrowers with the terms of the Management Agreement as may be requested by Lender.

(d)                                 Without limitation of the foregoing, if any Management Agreement is terminated pursuant to the Assignment of Management Agreement or for any other reason, then Lender, at its option, may require Borrowers to engage, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Assignment of Management Agreement, a new manager (the “New Manager”) to manage the applicable Property, which such New Manager shall be a Qualified Manager.  New Manager shall be engaged by Borrowers pursuant to a written management agreement that complies with the terms hereof and of the Assignment of Management Agreement and is otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Lender in all respects.  New Manager and Borrowers shall execute an Assignment of Management Agreement in substantially the form of that delivered at closing.  To the extent that such New Manager is an Affiliated Manager, Borrowers’ engagement of such New Manager shall be subject to Borrowers’ delivery to Lender of a New Non-Consolidation Opinion with respect to such New Manager and new management agreement.

55

Lender which may be drawn upon by Borrower in connection with any such alteration.  All alterations to any Improvements shall be made lien-free and in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with all Applicable Laws.

(i)                                     Transferee shall furnish to Lender a New Non-Consolidation Opinion and an opinion of counsel satisfactory to Lender and its counsel (A) that Transferee’s formation documents provide for the matters described in subparagraph (g) above, (B) that the assumption of the Debt has been duly authorized, executed and delivered, and that the assumption agreement and the other Loan Documents are valid, binding and enforceable against Transferee in accordance with their terms, (C) that Transferee and any entity which is a controlling stockholder, member or general partner of Transferee, have been duly organized, and are in existence and good standing, (D) that the transfer will not constitute a “significant modification” of the Loan under Section 1001 of the IRS Code or otherwise cause a tax to be imposed on a “prohibited transaction” by any REMIC Trust and (E) with respect to such other matters as Lender may reasonably request;

70

(j)                                    if required by Lender, Lender shall have received a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such transfer;

(k)                                 Intentionally Omitted

(l)                                     Borrowers’ obligations under the contract of sale pursuant to which the transfer is proposed to occur shall expressly be subject to the satisfaction of the applicable terms and conditions of this Section 6.4.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, no Borrower may exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 6.4 during the period that commences on the date that is sixty (60) days prior to the date of any intended Securitization of the Loan and ending on the date that is sixty (60) days after the date of such Securitization of the Loan (the “Securitization Window”).  Upon written request from Borrowers, Lender shall notify Borrower of any intended Securitization of the Loan (provided that at the time of such request, the date of such intended Securitization is known to Lender).  For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that if Borrower, in connection with exercising its rights under this Section 6.4, requests information as to the commencement of the Securitization Window and Lender advises Borrower that either such Securitization Window has not commenced or that it does not have any knowledge of when such Securitization Window shall commence, then Borrower may proceed with the completion of the exercise of its rights under Section 6.4 without regard to whether the completion shall occur during the Securitization Window.

Section 6.5                                   Lender’s Rights.  Lender reserves the right to condition the consent to a Prohibited Transfer requested hereunder upon (a) a modification of the terms hereof and on assumption of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as so modified by the proposed Prohibited Transfer, (b) payment of a transfer fee of 1% of outstanding principal balance of the Loan and all of Lender’s expenses incurred in connection with such Prohibited Transfer, (c) to the extent required by Lender, receipt of a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to the Prohibited Transfer, (d) the proposed transferee’s continued compliance with the covenants set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, the covenants in Article 5, (e) receipt of a New Non-Consolidation Opinion with respect to the Prohibited Transfer, and/or (f) such other conditions and/or legal opinions as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion to be in the interest of Lender.  All expenses incurred by Lender shall be payable by Borrowers whether or not Lender consents to the Prohibited Transfer.  Lender shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in order to declare the Debt immediately due and payable upon a Prohibited Transfer without Lender’s consent.  This provision shall apply to every Prohibited Transfer, whether or not Lender has consented to any previous Prohibited Transfer.

73

(iv)                              at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements and only if the current property and liability coverage forms do not otherwise apply (A) commercial general liability and umbrella liability insurance covering claims related to the construction, repairs or alterations being made at the Properties which are not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the commercial general liability and umbrella liability insurance policies required herein; and (B) the insurance provided for in Subsection 7.1(a)(i) 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 7.1(a)(i), (iv) and (vi) through (viii), as applicable (3) including permission to occupy the Properties, and (4) written on a no coinsurance form or containing an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;

(v)                                 workers’ compensation, subject to the statutory limits of the state in which any Property is located, and employer’s liability insurance with a limit of at least $1,000,000 per accident and per disease per employee, and $1,000,000 for disease aggregate in respect of any work or operations on or about any Property, or in connection with any Property or its operation (if applicable);

(vii)                           if any portion of the Improvements is at any time located in an area identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development or any successor thereto as an area having special flood hazards pursuant to 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 any successor law (the “Flood Insurance Acts”), flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to the “Full Replacement Cost” of the Building located in the area having special flood hazards (except, with respect to the O’Hara Property, such coverage shall be in an amount not less than the Allocated Loan Amount for the Property) which shall include, without limitation, the maximum limit of coverage available for such Property through the National Flood Insurance Program; provided, that, the insurance provided pursuant to this clause (vii) shall be on terms consistent with the “All Risk” insurance policy required in Section 7.1(a)(i) above;

(viii)                        earthquake insurance, if required, in amounts equal to one and one-half times (1.5x) the probable maximum loss or scenario expected loss of such Property plus loss of rents and/or business interruption as determined by Lender in its sole discretion and in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, provided that the insurance pursuant to this Subsection (viii) shall be on terms consistent with the all risk insurance policy required under Section 7.1(a)(i);

74

(ix)                              umbrella liability insurance in an amount not less than $25,000,000 per occurrence on terms consistent with the commercial general liability insurance policy required under subsection (ii) above;

(x)                                 auto liability coverage for all owned and non-owned vehicles, including rented and leased vehicles containing minimum limits per occurrence of One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000) (if applicable); and

(xi)                              such other insurance and in such 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 any Property located in or around the region in which such Property is located.

(b)                                 All insurance provided for in Subsection 7.1(a) hereof shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), in such forms and, from time to time after the date hereof, in such amounts as may be satisfactory to Lender, issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the state in which the Property is located and approved by Lender.  The insurance companies must have a financial strength rating of “A” or better and a financial size category of “VIII” or better by A.M. Best Company, Inc., and a rating of (i) “A-” or better by S&P, and (ii) if Moody’s rates the insurance company and is designated by Lender in connection with the Securitization, “A3” or better by Moody’s (each such insurer shall be referred to below as a “Qualified Insurer”) (provided, however for multi-layered policies, (A) if four (4) or less insurance companies issue the Policies, then at least 75% of the insurance coverage represented by the Policies must be provided by insurance companies with a claims paying ability rating of “A-” or better by S&P (and the equivalent by any other Rating Agency), with no carrier below “BBB” (and the equivalent by any other Rating Agency) or (B) if five (5) or more insurance companies issue the Policies, then at least sixty percent (60%) of the insurance coverage represented by the Policies must be provided by insurance companies with a claims paying ability rating of “A-” or better by S&P (and the equivalent by any other Rating Agency), with no carrier below “BBB” (and the equivalent by any other Rating Agency).  Not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender pursuant to Subsection 7.1(a), Borrower shall deliver carrier-issued binders and certificates of the renewal Policies, and thereafter, complete copies of the Policies when issued.  Upon renewal of the Policies, Borrowers shall deliver evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”).

(c)                                  Except to the extent required pursuant to Section 7.1(a) hereof, Borrowers shall not obtain (or permit to be obtained) (i) any umbrella or blanket liability or casualty Policy unless, in each case, such Policy is approved in advance in writing by Lender and Lender’s interest is included therein as provided in this Agreement and such Policy is issued by a Qualified Insurer, or (ii) separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required in Subsection 7.1(a) to be furnished by, or which may be reasonably required to be furnished by, Borrowers.  In the event Borrowers obtain (or causes to be obtained) separate insurance or an umbrella or a blanket Policy,

75

Borrowers shall notify Lender of the same and shall cause complete copies of each Policy to be delivered as required in Subsection 7.1(a).  Any umbrella or blanket Policy remains subject to review and approval by Lender based on the schedule of locations and values (any such approved blanket policy, an “Acceptable Blanket Policy”).  Notwithstanding Lender’s approval of any umbrella or blanket liability or casualty Policy hereunder, Lender reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to require Borrowers to obtain a separate Policy in compliance with this Section 7.1.

(d)                                 All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by Subsection 7.1(a) shall name Borrowers as the named insured and, in the case of liability policies, except for the Policies referenced in Subsection 7.1(a)(v) and (xi), shall name Lender as additional insured, as their respective interests may appear, and in the case of property coverages, including but not limited to the all-risk/special form coverage, rent loss, business interruption, terrorism, boiler and machinery, earthquake and flood insurance, shall name Lender as mortgagee/lender’s loss payable by a standard noncontributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.

(e)                                  All property Policies of insurance provided for in Subsection 7.1(a) shall provide that:

(i)                                     no (A) act, failure to act, violation of warranties, declarations or conditions, or negligence by any Borrower, or anyone acting for such Borrower, or by any Tenant under any Lease or other occupant, (B) occupancy or use of such Property for purposes more hazardous than those permitted, (C) foreclosure or similar action by Lender, or (D) 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 cancelled without at least 30 days’ written notice to Lender;

(iii)                               each Policy shall provide that (A) the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the Policy has not been renewed ten (10) days prior to its expiration and (B) Lender is permitted to make payments to effect the continuation of such Policy upon notice of cancellation due to non-payment of Insurance Premiums; and

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

Additionally, Borrowers further covenant and agree to promptly send to Lender any notices of non-renewal or cancellation they receive from the insurer with respect to the Policies required pursuant to this Section 7.1.

76

(f)                                   Upon written request of Lender, Borrowers shall furnish to Lender, on or before thirty (30) days after the close of each of Borrowers’ fiscal years, a statement certified by Borrowers or a Responsible Officer of Borrowers of the amounts of insurance maintained in compliance herewith, of the risks covered by such insurance and of the insurance company or companies which carry such insurance and, if requested by Lender, verification of the adequacy of such insurance by an independent insurance broker or appraiser reasonably acceptable to Lender.

(g)                                  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 Borrowers (although Lender shall endeavor to give prior notice to Borrowers) 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, and all expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrowers to Lender upon demand and until paid shall be secured by the Security Instruments and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

(h)                                 In the event of a foreclosure of the Security Instruments or other transfer of title to any Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of any Borrower in and to the Policies then in force concerning such Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest exclusively in Lender or the purchaser at such foreclosure or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

(i)                                     As an alternative to the Policies required to be maintained pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 7.1, Borrowers will not be in default under this Section 7.1 if Borrowers maintain (or causes to be maintained) Policies which (i) have coverages, deductibles and/or other related provisions other than those specified above and/or (ii) are provided by insurance companies not meeting the credit ratings requirements set forth above (any such Policy, a “Non-Conforming Policy”), provided, that, prior to obtaining such Non-Conforming Policies (or permitting such Non-Conforming Policies to be obtained), Borrowers shall have (1) received Lender’s prior written consent thereto and (2) if required by Lender, confirmed that Lender has received a Rating Agency confirmation with respect to any such Non-Conforming Policy.

(j)                                    The property, loss of rents/business interruption, general liability and umbrella liability insurance policies required in this Section 7.1 shall not exclude Terrorism Coverage (defined below) (such insurance policies, the “Applicable Policies”).  Such Terrorism Coverage shall comply with each of the applicable requirements for Policies set forth above (including, without limitation, those relating to deductibles); provided, that, Lender, at Lender’s option, may reasonably require Borrower to obtain or cause to be obtained the Terrorism Coverage with higher deductibles than set forth above.  As used above, “Terrorism Coverage” shall mean insurance for acts of terror or similar acts of sabotage; provided, that, for so long as the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as extended and modified by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Authorization Act of 2007 (as the same may be further modified,

77

amended, or extended, “TRIPRA”) (i) remains in full force and effect and (ii) continues to cover both foreign and domestic acts of terror, the provisions of TRIPRA shall determine what is deemed to be included within this definition of “Terrorism Coverage.”  Notwithstanding the foregoing, whether or not TRIPRA or subsequent statute, extension, or reauthorization is in effect, Borrowers shall be required to carry terrorism insurance throughout the term of the Loan as required by the preceding sentence; provided, however, Borrowers shall not be required to pay annual premiums in excess of the TC Cap (defined below) in order to obtain the Terrorism Coverage (but Borrower shall be obligated to purchase the maximum amount of Terrorism Coverage available with funds equal to the TC Cap).  As used above, “TC Cap” shall mean an amount equal to two (2) times the premium for a separate “Special Form” or “All Risks” policy or equivalent policy insuring only the Properties on a stand-alone basis (including, without limitation, the insurance required pursuant to Sections 7.1(a)(i) and (iii) hereof) at the time that any Terrorism Coverage is excluded from any Applicable Policy.

Section 7.2                                   Casualty.  If any Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrowers shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the repair and restoration of such Property as nearly as possible to the condition such Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender (a “Restoration”) and otherwise in accordance with Section 7.4.  Borrowers shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance.  Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrowers.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if as a result of a Casualty the tenant occupying the affected Property terminates its Lease with respect to the affected Property, Borrower shall not be obligated to restore and rebuild any portion of such Property following such Casualty, provided Borrower demolishes and razes the affected portion of the Property, removes any debris and rubbish, and restores the same to a safe condition and in accordance with and pursuant to all Applicable Laws (and in a manner that minimizes interference with the operation of the remaining portion of the Property) and in such event the Net Proceeds shall be retained by Lender toward the payment of the Debt in accordance with Section 2.7(b).

Section 7.3                                   Condemnation.  Borrowers shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened in writing commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of any Property of which Borrower has knowledge and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings.  Lender may participate in any such proceedings at its sole cost and expense, and Borrowers shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments reasonably requested by it to permit such participation.  Borrowers shall, at their expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and reasonably 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), Borrowers 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

78

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 Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrowers shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of such Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 7.4.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if as a result of a Condemnation,  the tenant occupying the affected Property terminates its Lease with respect to the affected Property, Borrower shall not be obligated to restore and rebuild any portion of such Property following such Condemnation, provided Borrower demolishes and razes the affected portion of the Property, removes any debris and rubbish, and restores the same to a safe condition and in accordance with and pursuant to all Applicable Laws (and in a manner that minimizes interference with the operation of the remaining portion of the Property) and in such event the Award shall be retained by Lender toward the payment of the Debt in accordance with Section 2.7(b).  If such 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 7.4                                   Restoration.  The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of a Property:

(a)                                 If the Net Proceeds shall be less than the Restoration Threshold and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than the Restoration Threshold, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrowers upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.4(b)(i) are met and Borrowers deliver 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 the Restoration Threshold or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4.

(i)                                               The Net Proceeds shall be made available 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 thirty percent (30%) of each of (i) the fair market value of such Property as reasonably determined by Lender, and (ii) the rentable area of such Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of a Casualty or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are condemnation proceeds, less than ten percent (10%) of each of (i) the fair market value of such Property as reasonably determined by Lender and (ii) the rentable area of such Property is

79

taken, such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, no portion of the Improvements is located on such land and such taking does not materially impair the existing access to the Property;

(C)                               Leases demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to or greater than 75% of the total rentable space of the Properties are in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such fire or other casualty or taking, 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 furnishes to Lender evidence satisfactory to Lender that all Tenants under Major Leases shall continue to operate their respective space at the Property after the completion of the Restoration;

(D)                               Borrowers shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the issuance of a building permit with respect thereto) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion in compliance with all Applicable Laws, in all material respects, including, without limitation, all applicable Environmental Laws;

(E)                                Lender shall be reasonably satisfied that any operating deficits which will be incurred with respect to such Property as a result of the occurrence of any such fire or other casualty or taking will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 7.1(a)(iii) above, or (3) by other funds of Borrowers;

(F)                                 Lender shall be satisfied that, upon the completion of the Restoration and re-leasing of the Property, the fair market value and cash flow of such Property will not be less than the fair market value and cash flow of the Property as the same existed on the Closing Date;

(G)                               Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) three (3) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 7.1(a)(iii) above, (3) such time as may be required under applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or regulation in order to repair and restore such Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty or taking, or (4) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Material Agreements, or REA;

80

(H)                              such Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in material compliance with and permitted under any REA, any Material Agreements and all Applicable Law; and

(I)                                   the Restoration shall be done and completed in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in material compliance with any REA, any Material Agreements and all Applicable Law.

(ii)                                                The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under this Agreement, the Security Instruments, the Note and the other Loan Documents.  The Net Proceeds (other than the Rent Loss Proceeds) shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrowers 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 related Restoration item 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 such Property which have not either been fully bonded to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the reasonable 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 reasonable acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”).  All such plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration shall be assigned to Lender as additional collateral for the Loan and Lender shall have the use of the same.  The identity of the contractors, material subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and reasonable acceptance by Lender and the Casualty Consultant.  All reasonable actual out-of-pocket 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 fees, shall be paid by Borrowers.  Borrowers shall have the right to settle all claims under the Policies jointly with Lender, provided that (a) no Event of Default exists, (b) Borrowers promptly and with commercially reasonable diligence negotiate a settlement of any such claims and (c) the insurer with respect to the Policy under which such claim is brought has not raised any act of the insured as a defense to the payment of such claim.  If an Event of Default exists, Lender shall, at its election, have the exclusive right to settle or adjust any claims made under the Policies in the event of a Casualty.

(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

81

time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Restoration Retainage.  The term “Restoration Retainage” as used in this Section 7.4(b) shall mean an amount equal to 10% of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until such time as the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that Net Proceeds representing 50% of the required Restoration have been disbursed.  There shall be no Restoration Retainage with respect to costs actually incurred by Borrowers for work in place in completing the last 50% of the required Restoration.  The Restoration Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 7.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrowers from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration.  The Restoration 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 7.4(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 reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Restoration Retainage, provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Restoration Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that such contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of such contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, and 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 insuring the lien of the Security Instrument.  If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Restoration Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.

(v)                                 Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.

(vi)                              If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are reasonably estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrowers 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 7.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other

82

obligations under this Agreement, the Security Instruments, the Note and the other 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 7.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrowers, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under this Agreement, the Security Instruments, the Note 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 Borrowers as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 7.4(b)(vii) shall be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper, but no Yield Maintenance Premium shall be due in connection therewith.  If Lender shall receive and retain Net Proceeds, the lien of the Security Instruments shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received and retained by Lender and actually applied by Lender in reduction of the Debt.  If Lender elects pursuant to this Section 7.4(c)  to apply any Net Proceeds to prepay the Loan, and provided no Event of Default is continuing, Borrowers shall have the right to obtain the release of the affected Property from the Lien of the Mortgage encumbering such Property by paying to Lender the Release Amount (inclusive of any Net Proceeds that are applied to the Loan) for such Property and such prepayment of the Loan (including any amount of the Net Proceeds that are in excess of the Release Amount) shall be without any Yield Maintenance Premium (or Partial Release Yield Maintenance Premium, as applicable).

(d)                                 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.4, if the Loan is included in a REMIC Trust and, immediately following a release of any portion of the real property relating to any Property following a Casualty or Condemnation, the ratio of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan to the value of the remaining Properties is greater than 125% (such value to be determined, in Lender’s sole discretion, by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC Trust), the principal balance of the Loan must be paid down by Borrowers by the greater of (A) the Release Amount or (B) an amount sufficient to satisfy REMIC Requirements, unless the Lender receives an opinion of counsel that the Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a REMIC Trust as a result of the related release of lien.

ARTICLE 8.

RESERVE FUNDS

Section 8.1                                   Tax Reserve Funds.

(a)                                 Subject to the provisions in subsection (c) below, Borrowers shall deposit on each Monthly Payment Date an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least ten (10) days prior to their respective due dates (the “Monthly Tax Deposit”).  Amounts deposited pursuant to this Section 8.1 are referred to herein as the (“Tax Reserve Funds”).  If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax Reserve Funds will not be sufficient to pay the Taxes, Lender shall notify Borrowers of such determination and the monthly deposits for Taxes shall be increased by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least ten (10) days prior to the respective due dates for the Taxes; provided that if Borrowers receive notice of any deficiency after the date that is ten (10) days prior to the date that Taxes are due, Borrowers will deposit such amount within two (2) Business Days after its receipt of such notice.

(b)                                 Regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall apply the Tax Reserve Funds to payments of Taxes.  In making any payment relating to Taxes, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) 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 Reserve Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrowers or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax Reserve Funds.  Any Tax Reserve Funds remaining after the Debt has been paid in full shall be promptly returned to Borrowers.

(c)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in clause (a) above, with respect to any particular Property or Properties, Borrowers shall not be required to make the monthly payments required under clause (a) above, if (i) the Tenant occupying all of such Property is obligated under its Lease to pay all Taxes (ii) such Tenant shall pay all Taxes as the same become due and payable and before delinquency, (iii) Borrowers shall, upon request, furnish (or shall cause such Tenant to furnish) to Lender reasonable proof of the payment of all such amounts, and (iv) such Lease remains in full force and effect.  Additionally, provided that (i) no Cash Trap Event Period has occurred and is continuing and (ii) Borrowers provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that Taxes continue to be timely paid, the Monthly Tax Deposit shall not be required.  Upon the termination of any Cash Trap Event Period (as set forth in the Cash Management Agreement), all Tax Reserve Funds shall be promptly disbursed to Borrower.

Section 8.2                                   Insurance Reserve Funds.

(a)                                 Subject to the provisions in subsection (c) below, Borrowers shall deposit on each Monthly Payment Date an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th)of the Insurance Premiums that Lender reasonably estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate

84

sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (the “Monthly Insurance Deposit”).  If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Insurance Reserve Funds will not be sufficient to pay the Insurance Premiums, Lender shall notify Borrowers of such determination and the monthly deposits for Insurance Premiums shall be increased by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies.

(b)                                 Regardless of whether a Default or Event Default has occurred and is continuing Lender shall apply the Insurance Reserve Funds to payment of Insurance Premiums.  In making any payment relating to Insurance Premiums, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the insurer or its agent, without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate.  If the amount of the Insurance Reserve Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Insurance Premiums, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Insurance Reserve Funds.  Any Insurance Reserve Funds remaining after the Debt has been paid in full shall be promptly returned to Borrower.

(c)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in clause (a) above, provided that (i) no Cash Trap Event Period has occurred and is continuing and (ii) Borrowers provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that Insurance Premiums continue to be timely paid, the Monthly Insurance Deposit shall not be required.  Upon the termination of any Cash Trap Event Period (as set forth in the Cash Management Agreement), all Insurance Reserve Funds shall be promptly disbursed to Borrower.  Additionally, whether or not a Cash Trap Period has occurred and is continuing, provided that (x) an Acceptable Blanket Policy is in effect with respect to the Policies required pursuant to Section 7.1, (y) no Event of Default is continuing and (z) Borrower provides ongoing evidence of acceptable renewals and payment of the premiums therefor, the Monthly Insurance Deposits required for Insurance Premiums shall be suspended to the extent that Insurance Premiums relate to such Acceptable Blanket Policy.

Section 8.3                                   Immediate Repair Funds.

86

Section 8.4                                   Replacement Reserve Funds.

(a)                                 Subject to the provisions in subsection (f) below, Borrowers shall deposit with Lender on each Monthly Payment Date an amount equal to $45,375 (the “Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit”) for the Replacements.  Amounts deposited pursuant to this Section 8.4 are referred to herein as the “Replacement Reserve Funds”; provided, however, Borrower’s obligation to pay the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit shall be suspended as to any Monthly Payment Date on which the current amount of Replacement Reserve Funds is $544,503 or more.  Lender may reassess its estimate of the amount necessary for Replacements from time to time (but not more than once per year) and, and may require Borrowers to increase the monthly deposits required pursuant to this Section 8.4 (but in no event more than 110% of amounts for the prior year) upon thirty (30) days notice to Borrowers if Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that an increase is necessary to maintain proper operation of the Properties.

(b)                                 Lender shall disburse Replacement Reserve Funds only for Replacements.  Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse the Replacement Reserve Funds to Borrowers within ten (10) days after the delivery by Borrowers to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per month), in increments of at least the Minimum Disbursement Amount (or a lesser amount if the total amount of the Replacement Reserve Funds is less than the Minimum Disbursement Amount, in which case only one disbursement of the amount remaining shall be made), accompanied by the following items (which items shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender):  (i) an Officer’s Certificate (A) stating that the items to be funded by the requested disbursement are Replacements, (B) stating that all Replacements at the Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all Applicable Law, (C) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the Replacements to be funded by the requested disbursement, (D) stating that each such Person has been paid in full or will be paid in full upon such disbursement or, if such payment is a progress payment, that such payment represents full payment to such Person, less any applicable retention amount, for work completed through the date of the relevant invoice from such Person, (E) stating that the Replacements (or relevant portion thereof) to be funded have not been the subject of a previous disbursement, and (F) stating that all previous disbursements of for Replacements have been used to pay the previously identified Replacements, (ii) as to any completed Replacement, a copy of any license, permit or other approval by any Governmental Authority required, if any, in connection with the Replacement and not previously delivered to Lender, (iii) copies of appropriate lien waivers (or conditional lien waivers) or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender, or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender, (iv) at Lender’s option, if the cost of any individual Replacement exceeds $250,000, a title search for the Property indicating that such Property is free from all Liens, claims and other encumbrances not previously approved by Lender, (v) at Lender’s option, if the cost of any individual Replacement exceeds $250,000, Lender shall have received a report satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion from an architect or engineer approved by Lender in respect of such architect or engineer’s inspection of the applicable Replacement; and (vi) such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request to

Section 8.6                                   The Accounts Generally.

(a)                                 All Reserve Funds shall be held in Eligible Accounts.  Borrowers grant to Lender a first-priority security interest in each of the Reserve Funds and all sums now or hereafter deposited in the Reserve Funds 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.  The provisions of this Section 8.6 are intended to give Lender and/or Servicer “control” of the Reserve Funds within the meaning of the UCC.  Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the Reserve Funds are subject to the sole dominion, control and discretion of Lender, its authorized agents or designees, subject to the terms hereof, and Borrowers shall have no right of withdrawal with respect to any Reserve Funds except with the prior written consent of Lender or as otherwise provided herein.  The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender.

(b)                                 Borrowers shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Reserve Funds or permit any lien 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

89

thereto.  Lender shall have the right to file a financing statement or statements under the UCC in connection with any of the Reserve Funds with respect thereto in the form required to properly perfect Lender’s security interest therein.  Borrowers agree that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of Borrowers, Borrowers will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be reasonably necessary, or that Lender may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Reserve Funds.

(c)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice from Lender or Servicer (i) Borrowers shall have no rights in respect of the Reserve Funds and (ii) Lender shall have all rights and remedies with respect to the Accounts and the amounts on deposit therein and the Reserve Funds as described in this Agreement, the Cash Management Agreement and in the Security Instruments, in addition to all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Cash Management Agreement or in the Security Instruments, may apply the Reserve Funds as Lender determines in its sole discretion including, but not limited to, payment of the Debt.

(d)                                 The insufficiency of Reserve Funds on deposit with Lender shall not absolve Borrowers of 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.

(e)                                  Borrowers shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and reasonable, actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Reserve Funds, the sums deposited therein or the performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds were established, except to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender, its agents or employees.  Borrowers shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrowers may have against all Persons 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)                                   Interest accrued, if any, on the Reserve Funds, other than on the Interest Bearing Reserve Funds, shall not be required to be remitted to any Account and may instead be retained by Lender.  Reserve Funds that are Interest Bearing Reserve Funds shall be held in an interest-bearing account.  In no event shall Lender or any Servicer be required to select any particular interest-bearing account or the account that yields the highest rate of interest, provided that selection of the account shall be consistent with the general standards at the time being utilized by Lender or such Servicer, as applicable, in establishing similar accounts for loans of comparable type.  All such interest that so

90

becomes part of the applicable Interest Bearing Reserve Funds shall be disbursed in accordance with the disbursement procedures contained herein applicable to such Interest Bearing Reserve Funds; provided, however, that Lender may, at its election, retain any such interest for its own account during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default.

(g)                                  Borrowers acknowledge and agree that they solely shall be, and shall at all times remain, liable to Lender or Servicer for all reasonable, actual out-of-pocket fees, charges, costs and expenses in connection with the Reserve Funds, this Agreement and the enforcement hereof, and, including, without limitation, any monthly or annual fees or charges (including any reasonable processing fees) as may be assessed by Lender or Servicer in connection with the administration of the Accounts and the Reserve Funds and the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel to Lender and Servicer as needed to enforce, protect or preserve the rights and remedies of Lender and/or Servicer under this Agreement.

(h)                                 Provided that no Event of Default is continuing, upon the release of any Property pursuant to Section 2.9 or 2.10, Lender shall disburse to Borrower the portion of any of the Reserve Funds that are attributable to such released Property.  Additionally, if Borrowers elect a Substitution in accordance with Section 2.10, then Lender shall adjust the monthly amounts required to be deposited into the Reserve Funds to reflect the Substitute Property in lieu of the Released Property (i.e., the Tax Reserve Funds and the Insurance Reserve Funds will be adjusted to reflect the amount of Taxes and Insurance Premiums allocable to the Substitute Property, the Replacement Reserve Funds will be adjusted to reflect $0.15 per square foot for the Substitute Property and the Leasing Reserve Funds will be adjusted to reflect $0.25 per square foot for the Substitute Property).

Section 8.7                                   Perrigo Holland Reserve. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the amount of $60,000 (the “Perrigo Holland Funds”). Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that the “Tenant Electrical Work” as described in the Seventh Amendment of the Perrigo Holland Lease has been completed and that no further funds are owed to Perrigo Tenant with respect to the “Tenant Electrical Allowance” as described in such Seventh Amendment of Perrigo Holland Lease (such evidence to include, without limitation, lien waivers and paid invoices in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender), provided that no Event of Default then exists (i) Lender shall disburse the Perrigo Holland Funds to Borrower provided no Cash Trap Event Period shall then exist or (ii) if a Cash Trap Event Period shall exist, Lender shall deposit the Perrigo Holland Funds into the Cash Management Account to be applied in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement. Perrigo Holland Funds may be held in a subaccount of the Cash Management Account.

Section 10.2                            Remedies.

(a)                                 Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 10.1(g) above with respect to Borrowers and SPE Component Entity only) and at any time thereafter Lender may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement, the Security Instruments, the Note and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrowers and in the Properties, including, without limitation, declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in this Agreement, the Security Instruments, the Note and the other Loan Documents against Borrowers and the Properties, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity.  Upon any Event of Default described in Section 10.1(g) above (with respect to Borrowers and SPE Component Entity only), the Debt and all other obligations of Borrowers under this Agreement, the Security Instruments, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrowers hereby expressly waive any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in the Security Instruments, the Note and the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding.

(b)                                 Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrowers under this Agreement, the Security Instruments, the Note or the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrowers 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 this Agreement, the Security Instruments, the Note or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Properties.  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 Applicable Law,

95

without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by Applicable Law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the Security Instruments, the Note or the other Loan Documents.  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 Borrowers shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrowers or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

(c)                                  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Security Instruments in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Security Instruments then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrowers default beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Security Instruments 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 any Security Instrument to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by any Security Instrument as Lender may elect.  Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Properties shall remain subject to the Security Instruments to secure payment of sums secured by the Security Instruments and not previously recovered.

(d)                                 Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, security instruments 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.  Borrowers 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.  Borrowers hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoint Lender as their 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, Borrowers 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 three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrowers by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power.  Borrowers shall not 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 Borrowers only as of the Closing Date.

96

(e)                                  Any amounts recovered from any Property or any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.

(f)                                   Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrowers and without releasing Borrowers from any obligation hereunder or being deemed to have cured any Event of Default hereunder, make, do or perform any obligation of Borrowers hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary.  Lender is authorized to enter upon the Properties for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Properties for such purposes, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by Applicable Law), with interest as provided in this Section, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand.  All such actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after such cost or expense was incurred through and including the date of payment to Lender.  All such actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefore.

Section 11.1                            Securitization.

(a)                                 Lender shall have the right (i) to sell or otherwise transfer the Loan or any portion thereof as a whole loan, (ii) to sell participation interests in the Loan or (iii) to securitize the Loan or any portion thereof in a single asset securitization or a pooled loan securitization.  The transaction referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above shall hereinafter be referred to collectively as “Secondary Market Transactions” and the transactions referred to in clause (iii) shall hereinafter be referred to as a “Securitization”.  Any certificates, notes or other securities issued in connection with a Securitization are hereinafter referred to as “Securities”.

(b)                                 If requested by Lender, Borrowers shall assist Lender in satisfying the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with any Secondary Market Transactions, (at no cost to Borrowers (and Lender shall reimburse Borrowers for any actual out-of-pocket expense incurred by Borrowers at the request of Lender (including Borrowers reasonable legal fees incurred in connection with such Lender request)) including, without limitation, to:

97

(i)                                     (A) provide updated financial and other information with respect to the Properties, the business operated at the Properties, Borrowers, Guarantor and Manager in form and substance similar to that information provided to Lender in advance of closing, (B) provide updated budgets relating to the Properties and (C) provide updated appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews (Phase I’s and, if appropriate, Phase II’s), property condition reports and other due diligence investigations of the Properties (the “Updated Information”), together, if customary, with appropriate verification of the Updated Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel reasonably acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies;

(ii)                                  provide opinions of counsel, which may be relied upon by Lender, the Rating agencies and their respective counsel, agents and representatives, as to non-consolidation, matters of Delaware (or Maryland, as applicable) and federal bankruptcy law relating to limited liability companies or any other opinion customary in Secondary Market Transactions or required by the Rating Agencies with respect to the Properties and Borrowers and Borrowers’ Affiliates, which counsel and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Lender and the Rating Agencies;

(iii)                               provide updated, as of the closing date of the Secondary Market Transaction, representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents; provided, however, such updated representations and warranties shall only be required to be made to the extent such statements are true and accurate and, unless any updated exception to any representation and/or warranty would otherwise be an Event of Default hereunder, the taking of any additional exception to the representations and warranties shall not, on its own, be an Event of Default; and

(iv)                              execute such amendments to the Loan Documents and any Borrower or any SPE Component Entity’s organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender or requested by the Rating Agencies or otherwise to effect the Securitization including, without limitation, bifurcation of the Loan into two or more components and/or separate notes and/or creating a senior/subordinate note structure (any of the foregoing, a “Loan Bifurcation”); provided, however, that Borrowers shall not be required to modify or amend any Loan Document if such modification or amendment would change the interest rate, the stated maturity or the amortization of principal set forth in the Note, or in any other way increase the obligations or decrease the rights of Borrower, except in connection with a Loan Bifurcation which may result in varying fixed interest rates and amortization schedules, but which shall have the same initial weighted average coupon of the original Note.

Section 11.2                            Securitization Indemnification.

Borrowers understand that information provided to Lender by Borrowers and its agents, counsel and representatives may be included in disclosure documents in connection with the Securitization, including, without limitation, an offering circular, a

98

prospectus, prospectus supplement, private placement memorandum or other offering document (each, a “Disclosure Document”) and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and may be made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization.

(a)                                 Borrowers shall provide in connection with each of (i) a preliminary and a final private placement memorandum or (ii) a preliminary and final prospectus or prospectus supplement, as applicable, an agreement (A) certifying that Borrower has examined such Disclosure Documents specified and provided by Lender and that each such Disclosure Document, as it relates to Borrower, Borrower Affiliates, the Property, Manager (to Borrowers’ knowledge, to the extent such Manager is not an Affiliate of Borrowers), Guarantor and all other aspects of the Loan, does 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, (B) indemnifying Lender (and for purposes of this Section 11.2, Lender hereunder shall include its officers and directors), the Affiliate of Wells Fargo that has filed the registration statement relating to the Securitization (the “Registration Statement”), each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement and each Person that controls the Affiliate within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Wells Group”) and Wells Fargo, and any other placement agent or underwriter with respect to the Securitization, each of their respective directors and each Person who controls Wells Fargo or any other placement agent or underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Underwriter Group”) for any actual losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which Lender, the Wells Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such sections or arise out of or are based upon the omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such sections or necessary in order to make the statements in such sections, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (C) agreeing to reimburse Lender, the Wells Group and/or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Wells Group and the Underwriter Group in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrower will be liable in any such case under clauses (B) or (C) above only to the extent that any such loss claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrowers in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Document or in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrowers, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Properties (collectively, the “Provided Information”).  The indemnification provided for in clauses (B) and (C) above shall be effective whether or not the indemnification agreement described above is provided; provided, however, such indemnity shall be limited to the Provided Information and shall only be effective to the extent that Lender accurately states the Provided Information in

99

the applicable Disclosure Document.  The aforesaid indemnity will be in addition to any liability which Borrowers may otherwise have.

(b)                                 In connection with Exchange Act Filings, Borrower shall (i) indemnify Lender, the Wells Group and the Underwriter Group for Liabilities to which Lender, the Wells Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon the omission to state in the Disclosure Document a material fact required to be stated in the Disclosure Document in order to make the statements in the Disclosure Document, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (ii) reimburse Lender, the Wells Group or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Wells Group or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities; provided, however, such indemnity shall be limited to the Provided Information and shall only be effective to the extent that Lender accurately states the Provided Information in the applicable Disclosure Document.

(c)                                  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 11.2 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 11.2, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the indemnifying party.  In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party.  After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this Section 11.2, such indemnified party shall pay for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party at the cost of the indemnifying party.  The indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel unless an indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another indemnified party.

(d)                                 In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 11.2(b) or (c) hereof is for any reason held to be unenforceable as to an indemnified party in respect of any losses,

100

claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 11.2(b) or (c) hereof, the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) Wells Fargo’s and Borrowers’ relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances.  Lender and Borrowers hereby agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.

(e)                                  Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify Lender and its officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates against any Losses to which Lender or its officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates, may become subject in connection with any indemnification to the Rating Agencies in connection with issuing, monitoring or maintaining the Securities insofar as the Losses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact in any information provided by or on behalf of Borrowers to the Rating Agencies (the “Covered Rated Agency Information”) or arise out of or are based upon the omission to state a material fact in the Covered Rating Agency Information required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in Covered Rating Agency Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(f)                                   The liabilities and obligations of both Borrowers and Lender under this Section 11.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.

Section 11.3                            Limitation on Syndication.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Lender effectuates a Secondary Market Transaction, other than a Securitization, then provided that no Event of Default is then continuing, Lender agrees, in connection with such Secondary Market Transaction, (i) that Wells Fargo Bank, National Association shall be and shall remain the “Administrative Agent” in such Secondary Market Transaction, (ii) Wells Fargo Securities, or one of its Affiliates, shall serve as “Sole Lead Arranger” and “Sole Bookrunner” with exclusive responsibility for arranging and managing such Secondary Market Transaction, and (iii) not to transfer or assign any portion of the Loan to a Borrower Competitor (hereinafter defined), unless Borrower has consented to the same, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  As used herein, a “Borrower Competitor” means any of the following Persons whose primary business is the purchase, operation, management of or investment in commercial properties including any Person which acquires interests in debt secured by commercial real estate for the primary purpose of acquiring direct ownership in the properties securing such debt: Industrial Income Trust, Inc., KTR Capital Partners, Cabot Properties, Blackstone, DCT Industrial Trust, First Industrial

101

Realty Trust, EastGroup Properties Inc., and Monmouth Real Estate Investment Corporation.  Borrower shall be entitled to update the foregoing list of Borrower Competitors on an annual basis, which shall be subject to Lender’s approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), to reflect then current Borrower Competitors, who in Borrower’s reasonable judgment, meet the qualifications described above.

Section 11.4                            Servicer.  At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/trustee selected by Lender (the “Servicer”) and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to such servicer/trustee pursuant to a servicing agreement between Lender and such Servicer; provided, however, Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any monthly servicing fees to such Servicer.

Section 11.5                            Rating Agency Costs.  In connection with any Rating Agency Confirmation or other Rating Agency consent, approval or review required hereunder (other than the initial review of the Loan by the Rating Agencies in connection with a Securitization), Borrowers shall pay all of the reasonable, actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Lender, Servicer and each Rating Agency in connection therewith, and, if applicable, shall pay any fees imposed by any Rating Agency in connection therewith.

Section 11.6                            Mezzanine Option.  Lender shall have the option (the “Mezzanine Option”) at any time to divide the Loan into two parts, a mortgage loan and a mezzanine loan, provided, that (i) the total loan amounts for such mortgage loan and such mezzanine loan shall equal the then outstanding amount of the Loan immediately prior to Lender’s exercise of the Mezzanine Option, and (ii) the weighted average interest rate of such mortgage loan and mezzanine loan shall initially equal the Interest Rate.  Borrowers shall, at no cost to Borrowers, cooperate with Lender in Lender’s exercise of the Mezzanine Option in good faith and in a timely manner, which such cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, (i) executing such amendments to the Loan Documents and any Borrower or any SPE Component Entity’s organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender or requested by the Rating Agencies, (ii) creating one or more Single Purpose Entities (the “Mezzanine Borrower”), which such Mezzanine Borrower shall (A) own, directly or indirectly, 100% of the equity ownership interests in Borrowers (the “Equity Collateral”), and (B) together with such constituent equity owners of such Mezzanine Borrower as may be designated by Lender, execute such agreements, instruments and other documents as may be required by Lender in connection with the mezzanine loan (including, without limitation, a promissory note evidencing the mezzanine loan and a pledge and security agreement pledging the Equity Collateral to Lender as security for the mezzanine loan); and (iii) delivering such opinions, title endorsements, UCC title insurance policies and other materials as may be required by Lender or the Rating Agencies.

Section 11.7                            Conversion to Registered Form.  At the written request of Lender, Borrowers shall appoint, as its agent, a registrar and transfer agent (the “Registrar”) reasonably acceptable to Lender which shall maintain, subject to such reasonable regulations as it shall provide, such books and records as are necessary for the

102

registration and transfer of the Note in a manner that shall cause the Note to be considered to be in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the IRS Code.  The option to convert the Note into registered form once exercised may not be revoked.  Any agreement setting out the rights and obligation of the Registrar shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Lender.  Borrowers may revoke the appointment of any particular person as Registrar, effective upon the effectiveness of the appointment of a replacement Registrar.  The Registrar shall not be entitled to any fee from Borrowers or Lender or any other lender in respect of transfers of the Note and other Loan Documents.
