Borrower acknowledges that the proceeds of the Loan are being and shall be used to (i) acquire the Property, (ii) fund certain of the Subaccounts, and (iii) pay transaction costs. Any excess proceeds may be used for any lawful purpose. No amount repaid in respect of the Loan may be reborrowed.

2.2 Interest; Monthly Payments.

2.2.1 Generally. From and after the date the Loan is funded, interest on the unpaid Principal shall accrue at the Interest Rate and be payable as hereinafter provided. On the date the Loan is funded, Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid Principal from the date of funding through and including December 5, 2006. On January 6, 2007 and each Payment Date thereafter through and including November 6, 2016, Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid Principal which has accrued through the last day of the Interest Period immediately preceding such Payment Date (the “Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount”). All accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. If the Loan is repaid on any date other than on a Payment Date (whether prior to or after the Stated Maturity Date), Borrower shall also pay interest that would have accrued on such repaid Principal to but not including the next Payment Date.

2.2.2 Default Rate. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the entire unpaid Debt shall bear interest at the Default Rate, and shall be payable upon demand from time to time, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

2.2.3 Taxes. Any and all payments by Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on Lender’s income, and franchise taxes imposed on Lender by the law or regulation of any Governmental Authority (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to in this Section 2.2.3 as “Applicable Taxes”). If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Applicable Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Lender, the following shall apply: (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.2.3), Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. Payments pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 shall be made within ten (10) days after the date Lender makes written demand therefor.

2.2.4 New Payment Date. Lender shall have the right, to be exercised not more than once during the term of the Loan, to change the Payment Date to a date other than the sixth day of each month (a “New Payment Date”), on thirty (30) days’ written notice to Borrower; provided, however, that any such change in the Payment Date: (i) shall not modify the amount of regularly scheduled monthly principal and interest payments, except that the first payment of principal and interest payable on the New Payment Date shall be accompanied by interest at the interest rate herein provided for the period from the Payment Date in the month in which the New Payment Date first occurs to the New Payment Date, and (ii) shall change the Stated Maturity Date to the New Payment Date occurring in the month set forth in the definition of Stated Maturity Date.

2.3 Loan Repayment.

2.3.1 Repayment. Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal balance of the Note in full on the Maturity Date, together with interest thereon to (but excluding) the date of repayment and any other amounts due and owing under the Loan Documents. Borrower shall have no right to prepay or defease all or any portion of the Principal except in accordance with Section 2.3.2 below, Section 2.3.3 below and Section 2.4 below. Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of any repayment, including any prepayments of the Loan, shall be applied by Lender as follows in the following order of priority: First, accrued and unpaid interest at the Interest Rate; Second, to Principal; and Third, to and any other amounts then due and owing under the Loan Documents. If prior to the Stated Maturity Date the Debt is accelerated by reason of an Event of Default, then Lender shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the unpaid Principal and accrued interest and other sums due under the Loan Documents, an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium applicable to such Principal so accelerated. During the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of repayment, including any payment or recovery on the Property (whether through foreclosure,

 

-16-

---

deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise) shall, unless otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, be applied in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect in Lender’s discretion.

2.3.2 Mandatory Prepayments. The Loan is subject to mandatory prepayment in certain instances of Insured Casualty or Condemnation (each a “Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment”), in the manner and to the extent set forth in Section 7.4.2 hereof. Each Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment, after deducting Lender’s costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with the settlement or collection of the Proceeds or Award, shall be applied in the same manner as repayments under Section 2.3.1 above, and if such Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment is made on any date other than a Payment Date, then such Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment shall include interest that would have accrued on the Principal prepaid to but not including the next Payment Date, provided that a Secondary Market Transaction has occurred. Provided that no Event of Default is continuing, any such mandatory prepayment under this Section 2.3.2 shall be without the payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment shall be applied in inverse order of maturity and shall not extend or postpone the due dates of the monthly installments due under the Note or this Agreement, or change the amounts of such installments.

2.3.3 Defeasance

(a) Conditions to Defeasance. Provided no Event of Default shall be continuing, Borrower shall have the right after the Release Date and prior to the Permitted Prepayment Date to voluntarily defease the entire amount of the Principal and obtain a release of the Lien of the Mortgage by providing Lender with the Defeasance Collateral (a “Defeasance Event”), subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

(vi) if required by any Rating Agency, Borrower shall deliver to Lender and the Rating Agencies a Rating Comfort Letter as to the Defeasance Event;

(vii) Borrower shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the requirements set forth in this Section 2.3.3 have been satisfied;

(xii) All conditions with respect to the defeasance of any Approved Mezzanine Loan shall have been satisfied.

(b) Defeasance Collateral Account. On or before the date on which Borrower delivers the Defeasance Collateral, Borrower shall open at any Eligible Institution the defeasance collateral account (the “Defeasance Collateral Account”) which shall at all times be an Eligible Account. Lender will agree to cooperate with Borrower in structuring the defeasance such that the securities can be held by a trust in which Lender is the beneficiary, provided that the same satisfies all Rating Agency requirements and requirements of the REMIC Provisions applicable to the defeasance. The Defeasance Collateral Account shall contain only (i) Defeasance Collateral, and (ii) cash from interest and principal paid on the Defeasance Collateral. All cash from interest and principal payments paid on the Defeasance Collateral shall be paid over to Lender on each Payment Date and applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and then to Principal. Any cash from interest and principal paid on the Defeasance Collateral not needed to pay accrued and unpaid interest or Principal shall be retained in the Defeasance Collateral Account as additional collateral for the Loan. Borrower shall cause the Eligible

Lender shall not in any way be liable by reason of any insufficiency in the Defeasance Collateral Account.

(c) Successor Borrower. In connection with a Defeasance Event under this Section 2.3.3, Borrower shall, if required by the Rating Agencies or if Borrower elects to do so, establish or designate a successor entity (the “Successor Borrower”) which shall be a Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity and which shall be approved by the Rating Agencies. Any such Successor Borrower may, at Borrower’s option, be an Affiliate of Borrower unless the Rating Agencies shall require otherwise. Borrower shall transfer and assign all obligations, rights and duties under and to the Defeased Note, together with the Defeasance Collateral to such Successor Borrower. Such Successor Borrower shall assume the obligations under the Note and the Security Agreement and Borrower shall be relieved of its obligations under such documents. Borrower shall pay a minimum of $1,000 to any such Successor Borrower as consideration for assuming the obligations under the Note and the Security Agreement.

In connection therewith, Borrower shall provide all documentation Lender reasonably requires to be delivered by Borrower in connection with such release, together with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such documentation (i) is in compliance with all Legal Requirements, and (ii) will effect such release in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Each payment by Borrower shall be made in funds settled through the New York Clearing House Interbank Payments System or other funds immediately available to Lender by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date such payment is due, to Lender by deposit to such account as Lender may designate by written notice to Borrower. Whenever any such payment shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the first Business Day thereafter. All such payments shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction, set-off or counterclaim whatsoever and are payable without relief from valuation and appraisement laws and with all costs and charges incurred in the collection or enforcement thereof, including attorneys’ fees and court costs.

2.5.2 Computations. Interest payable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year.

2.5.3 Late Payment Charge. If any Principal, interest or other sum due under any Loan Document is not paid by Borrower on the date on which it is due other than the payment due on the Maturity Date, Borrower 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 (the “Late Payment Charge”), 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. Such amount shall be secured by the Loan Documents.

 

3.	CASH MANAGEMENT AND RESERVES

3.1 Cash Management Arrangements. Borrower shall cause all Rents to be transmitted directly by tenants of the Property into an Eligible Account (the “Clearing Account”) maintained by Borrower at a local bank selected by Borrower, which shall at all times be an Eligible Institution (the “Clearing Bank”) as more fully described in the Clearing Account Agreement. A form of tenant direction letter for such purpose is attached hereto as Schedule 1. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, all Rents received by Borrower or Manager shall be deposited into the Clearing Account within one (1) Business Day of receipt. Funds deposited into the Clearing Account shall be swept by the Clearing Bank on a daily basis into Borrower’s operating account at the Clearing Bank, unless a Cash Management Period is continuing, in which event such funds shall be swept on a daily basis into an Eligible Account at the Deposit Bank controlled by Lender (the “Deposit Account”) and applied and disbursed in accordance with this Agreement. Funds in the Deposit Account shall be invested at Lender’s discretion only in Permitted Investments. Lender will also establish subaccounts of the Deposit Account which shall at all times be Eligible Accounts (and may be ledger or book entry accounts and not actual accounts) (such subaccounts are referred to herein as “Subaccounts”). The Deposit Account and any Subaccount will be under the sole control and dominion of Lender, and Borrower shall have

 

-20-

---

no right of withdrawal therefrom. Borrower shall pay for all expenses of opening and maintaining all of the above accounts.

3.2 [intentionally deleted]

3.3 Taxes and Insurance. Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date (i) one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates and (ii) one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies. Such amounts will be transferred by Lender to a Subaccount (the “Tax and Insurance Subaccount”). Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender will (a) apply funds in the Tax and Insurance Subaccount to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof and Section 7.1 hereof, provided that Borrower has promptly supplied Lender with notices of all Taxes and Insurance Premiums due, or (b) reimburse Borrower for such amounts upon presentation of evidence of payment; subject, however, to Borrower’s right to contest Taxes in accordance with Section 5.2 hereof. In making any payment relating to Taxes and Insurance Premiums, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If Lender determines in its reasonable judgment that the funds in the Tax and Insurance Subaccount will be insufficient to pay (or in excess of) the Taxes or Insurance Premiums next coming due, Lender may increase (or decrease) the monthly contribution required to be made by Borrower to the Tax and Insurance Subaccount.

The foregoing obligations to fund and maintain the Tax and Insurance Subaccount shall be conditionally waived for so long as (A) Borrower timely pays such charges prior to delinquency and Lender receives satisfactory evidence of such payment prior to delinquency and (B) no Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder. Upon the failure of any of the foregoing conditions, Lender may demand full compliance with the provisions of this Section 3.3(a) for the remaining term of the Loan.

3.4 Capital Expense Reserves. Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date an amount sufficient to pay anticipated Approved Capital Expenses. Lender will transfer such amounts into a Subaccount (the “Capital Reserve Subaccount”). Additionally, upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice to Borrower, Lender may reassess the amount of the monthly payment required under this Section 3.4 from time to time in its reasonable discretion (based upon its then current underwriting standards). Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse funds held in the Capital Reserve Subaccount to Borrower, within fifteen (15) days after the delivery by Borrower to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per month), in increments of at least $5,000 provided that (i) such disbursement is for an Approved Capital Expense; (ii) Lender shall have (if it desires) verified (by an inspection conducted at Borrower’s expense) performance of the work associated with such Approved Capital Expense; and (iii) the request for disbursement is accompanied by (A) an

 

-21-

---

3.10 Grant of Security Interest; Application of Funds. As security for payment of the Debt and the performance by Borrower of all other terms, conditions and provisions of the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby pledges and assigns to Lender, and grants to Lender a security interest in, all Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all Rents and in and to all payments to or monies held in the Clearing Account, the Deposit Account, all Subaccounts created pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, the “Cash Management Accounts”). Borrower hereby grants to Lender a continuing security interest in, and agrees to hold in trust for the benefit of Lender, all Rents in its possession prior to the (i) payment of such Rents to Lender or (ii) deposit of such Rents into the Deposit Account. Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Cash Management Account, or permit any Lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. This Agreement is, among other things, intended by the parties to be a security agreement for purposes of the UCC. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply any sums in any Cash Management Account in any order and in any manner as Lender shall elect in Lender’s discretion without seeking the appointment of a receiver and without adversely affecting the rights of Lender to foreclose the Lien of the Mortgage or exercise its other rights under the Loan Documents.

All interest which accrues on the funds in any Cash Management Account (other than the Tax and Insurance Subaccount) shall accrue for the benefit of Borrower and shall be taxable to Borrower and shall be added to and disbursed in the same manner and under the same conditions as the principal sum on which said interest accrued. Upon repayment in full of the Debt, all remaining funds in the Subaccounts, if any, shall be promptly disbursed to Borrower.

(i) First, at any time prior to the Maturity Date hereunder, to Borrower to make Permitted REIT Distributions attributable to the immediately preceding Interest Period, subject to Section 3.12 below. For so long as the Mezzanine Loan remains outstanding at any time prior to the stated maturity date of the Mezzanine Loan, notwithstanding that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Rents deposited into the Deposit Account shall be disbursed to Borrower to make Permitted REIT Distributions to the extent that sufficient amounts are on deposit in the Deposit Account to fully fund payment of the Monthly

Debt Service Payment Amount (under subsection (iv) below) and the Monthly Mezzanine Debt Service Payment Amount (under subsection (viii) below) without regard for the adequacy of all Rents then on deposit in the Deposit Account to fully fund any prior amounts described in this Section 3.11(a), subsections (ii), (iii), (v), (vi) and (vii) below. No Rents shall be disbursed to Borrower to make Permitted REIT Distributions for so long as the Mezzanine Loan remains outstanding from and after the stated maturity date of the Mezzanine Loan.

(ii) Second, (if the obligation to fund the Tax and Insurance Subaccount is no longer waived by Lender pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof) to make payments into the Tax and Insurance Subaccount as required under Section 3.3 hereof;

(iii) Third, to pay the monthly portion of the fees charged by the Deposit Bank in accordance with the Deposit Account Agreement;

(iv) Fourth, to Lender to pay the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount due on such Payment Date (plus, if applicable, interest at the Default Rate and all other amounts, other than those described under other clauses of this Section 3.11(a), then due to Lender under the Loan Documents);

(v) Fifth, (if the obligation to fund the Capital Reserve Subaccount is no longer waived by Lender pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof) to make payments into the Capital Reserve Subaccount as required under Section 3.4 hereof;

(vi) Sixth, to make payments for Approved Operating Expenses as required under Section 3.6 hereof;

(vii) Seventh, to make payments into the Rollover Reserve Subaccount as required under Section 3.5 hereof;

(viii) Eighth, if the Mezzanine Loan (or any portion thereof) is outstanding, to make payments in the amount of the Monthly Mezzanine Debt Service Payment into the subordinate deposit account established under the Mezzanine Loan; and

(ix) Ninth, if the Mezzanine Loan (or any portion thereof) is outstanding, all remaining Available Cash on such Payment Date shall be deposited into the subordinate deposit account established under the Mezzanine Loan or, if the Mezzanine Loan has been paid in full, all remaining Available Cash on such Payment Date shall be deposited into the Cash Collateral Subaccount in accordance with Section 3.9 hereof.

(b) The failure of Borrower to make all of the payments required under clauses (ii) through (viii) of Section 3.11(a) above in full on each Payment Date shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement; provided, however, if adequate funds are available in the Deposit Account for such payments, the failure by the Deposit Bank to allocate such funds into the appropriate Subaccounts shall not constitute an Event of Default.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.11, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may apply all Rents deposited into the Deposit Account and other proceeds of repayment (after disbursement to Borrower for

 

-25-

payment of any Permitted REIT Distribution then due and payable in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.11(a)(i) above) to payment of amounts outstanding under the Loan Documents or with respect to the Mezzanine Loan, in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect.

(d) Any funds in the Deposit Account and not previously disbursed or applied shall be disbursed to Borrower upon termination of any applicable Cash Management Period.

3.12 Permitted REIT Distributions. Borrower’s right to receive Rents deposited into the Deposit Account or any Subaccount or make Permitted REIT Distributions shall be subject to the following terms and conditions in this Section 3.12. At least 14 days prior to the end of the then current Projection Period (as defined below), Borrower shall deliver to Lender (a) written notice setting forth an estimate of the REIT’s taxable income for the Property and the Permitted REIT Operating Expenses (the “REIT Distribution Notice”) for the immediate succeeding period of no less than one fiscal quarter and no more than one fiscal year (each, a “Projection Period”), which REIT Distribution Notice shall also set forth the amount of cash flow from the Property needed to make Permitted REIT Distributions related to such Projection Period, and (b) written confirmation from Ernst & Young or another “Big 4” accounting firm that the estimate of the REIT’s taxable income generated by the Property for the applicable Projection Period, as reflected in the REIT Distribution Notice, is a reasonable estimate of the same, all in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender. Such estimate shall be based on (1) the REIT’s actual taxable income for the Property and the actual Permitted REIT Operating Expenses for the then current calendar year and (2) the REIT’s projected taxable income for the Property and the projected Permitted REIT Operating Expenses for the remainder of such calendar year. Within 30 days following the end of each fiscal quarter, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a statement of the REIT’s actual taxable income for the Property and the actual Permitted REIT Operating Expenses for the immediately ended fiscal quarter and evidence supporting such statement and (A) if the Permitted REIT Distributions made for such fiscal quarter exceeded the estimate set forth in the REIT Distribution Notice applicable to such fiscal quarter, the estimate of the Permitted REIT Distributions for the immediately succeeding fiscal quarter shall be adjusted to reduce the estimated amount of the Permitted REIT Distributions by the amount of such excess and (B) if the Permitted REIT Distributions made for such fiscal quarter was less than the estimate set forth in the REIT Distribution Notice applicable to such fiscal quarter, the estimate of the Permitted REIT Distributions for the immediately succeeding fiscal quarter shall be adjusted to increase the estimated amount of the Permitted REIT Distributions by the amount of such shortfall. Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary in this Section 3, Lender acknowledges and agrees that the funding of all reserves and other amounts under this Section 3 are expressly subject to the provisions of Section 3.11 and the disbursement to Borrower of Permitted REIT Distributions as provided therein.

4.16 Leases. To Borrower’s Knowledge, the rent roll attached hereto as Schedule 3 (the “Rent Roll”) is true, complete and correct and the Property is not subject to any Leases other than the Leases described in the Rent Roll or in the title report delivered to Lender. Except as set forth on the Rent Roll or as otherwise disclosed to Lender in writing: To Borrower’s Knowledge, (i) each Lease is in full force and effect; (ii) the tenants under the Leases have accepted possession of and are in occupancy of all of their respective demised premises, have commenced the payment of rent under the Leases, and there are no offsets, claims or defenses to the enforcement thereof; (iii) all rents due and payable under the Leases have been paid and no portion thereof has been paid for any period more than thirty (30) days in advance; (iv) the rent payable under each Lease is the amount of fixed rent set forth in the Rent Roll, and there is no claim or basis for a claim by the tenant thereunder for an adjustment to the rent; (v) no tenant has made any claim against the landlord under any Lease which remains outstanding, there are no defaults on the part of the landlord under any Lease, and no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute such a default; (vi) there is no present material default by the tenant under any Lease; (vii) all security deposits under Leases are as set forth on the Rent Roll and are held consistent with Section 3.8 hereof; (viii) Borrower is the sole owner of the entire lessor’s interest in each Lease; (ix) each Lease is the valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Borrower and the applicable tenant thereunder; (x) no Person has any possessory interest in, or right to occupy, the Property except under the terms of the Lease; and (xi) each Lease is subordinate to the Loan Documents, either pursuant to its terms or pursuant to a subordination and attornment agreement. None of the Leases contains any option to purchase or right of first refusal to purchase the Property or any part thereof. Neither the Leases nor the Rents have been assigned or pledged except to Lender, and no other Person has any interest therein except the tenants thereunder.

4.17 Fraudulent Transfer. Borrower has not entered into the Loan or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor, and Borrower has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents. Giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, exceed Borrower’s total probable liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities or its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower).

4.18 Ownership of Borrower. The sole managing member of Borrower is the Sole Member. The direct membership interests in Borrower are owned free and clear of all Liens, warrants, options and rights to purchase. Borrower has no obligation to any Person to purchase, repurchase or issue any ownership interest in it. The organizational chart attached hereto as Schedule 4 is complete and accurate and illustrates all Persons who have a direct or indirect ownership interest in Borrower other than those Persons who have a direct or indirect ownership in the REIT.

4.19 Purchase Options. To Borrower’s Knowledge, neither the Property nor any part thereof is subject to any purchase options or other similar rights in favor of third parties.

4.20 Management Agreement. The Management Agreement is in full force and effect.

If a Casualty covered by any of the Policies (an “Insured Casualty”) occurs where the loss does not exceed $250,000, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may settle and adjust any claim without the prior consent of Lender; provided such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner, and Borrower is hereby authorized to collect and receipt for the insurance proceeds (the “Proceeds”). In the event of an Insured Casualty where the loss equals or exceeds $250,000 (a “Significant Casualty”), Lender may, in its sole discretion, settle and adjust any claim without the consent of Borrower and agree with the insurer(s) on the amount to be paid on the loss, and the Proceeds shall be due and payable solely to Lender and held by Lender in the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount and disbursed in accordance herewith. If Borrower or any party other than Lender is a payee on any check representing Proceeds with respect to a Significant Casualty, Borrower shall immediately endorse, and cause all such third parties to endorse, such check payable to the order of Lender. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to endorse such check payable to the order of Lender. The expenses incurred by Lender in the settlement, adjustment and collection of the Proceeds shall become part of the Debt and shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender upon demand. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if in connection with a Casualty any insurance carrier makes a payment under a property insurance Policy that Borrower proposes be treated as business or rental interruption insurance, then, notwithstanding any designation (or lack of designation) by the insurance carrier as to the purpose of such payment, as between Lender and Borrower, such payment shall not be treated as business or rental interruption insurance proceeds unless Borrower has demonstrated to Lender’s satisfaction that the remaining net Proceeds that will be received from the property insurance carriers are sufficient to pay 100% of the cost of fully restoring the Improvements or, if such net Proceeds are to be applied to repay the Debt in accordance with the terms hereof, that such remaining net Proceeds will be sufficient to pay the Debt in full.

7.3 Condemnation.

7.3.1 Notice; Restoration. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding affecting the Property (a “Condemnation”) and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such Condemnation. Following the occurrence of a Condemnation, Borrower, regardless of whether an Award is available, shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property in accordance with Legal Requirements to the extent practicable to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character (and to have the same utility) as prior to such Condemnation.

7.3.2 Collection of Award. With respect any award or payment in respect of a Condemnation (an “Award”) which is equal to or less than $250,000, provided no Event of Default is continuing, Borrower shall have exclusive power to collect, receive and retain any such Award and to make any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with such Condemnation. With respect any Award which is greater that $250,000, provided no Event of Default is continuing, Borrower shall have exclusive power to collect, receive and retain any such Award and to make any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with such Condemnation, subject to Lender’s approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. At any time that an Event of Default is continuing, Lender is hereby irrevocably

 

-53-

---

appointed as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect, receive and retain any such Award and to make any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with such Condemnation. Notwithstanding any Condemnation (or any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of such Condemnation), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for in the Loan Documents, and the Debt shall not be reduced unless and until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender to expenses of collecting the Award and to 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 in the Note. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of such Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall be recoverable or shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive all or a portion of the Award sufficient to pay the Debt. Borrower shall cause any Award that is payable to Borrower to be paid directly to Lender. Lender shall hold such Award in the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount and disburse such Award in accordance with the terms hereof.

7.4 Application of Proceeds or Award.

7.4.1 Application to Restoration. If an Insured Casualty or Condemnation occurs where (i) the loss is in an aggregate amount less than the fifteen percent (15%) of the unpaid Principal; (ii) in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the Property can be restored within six (6) months, and prior to six (6) months before the Stated Maturity Date and prior to the expiration of the rental or business interruption insurance with respect thereto, to the Property’s pre-existing condition and utility as existed immediately prior to such Insured Casualty or Condemnation and to an economic unit not less valuable and not less useful than the same was immediately prior to the Insured Casualty or Condemnation, and after such restoration will adequately secure the Debt; (iii) less than (x) thirty percent (30%), in the case of an Insured Casualty or (y) fifteen percent (15%), in the case of a Condemnation, of the rentable area of the Improvements has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Insured Casualty or Condemnation; (iv) Leases demising in the aggregate at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the total rentable space in the Property and in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such Insured Casualty or Condemnation remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration (hereinafter defined); and (v) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be then continuing, then the Proceeds or the Award, as the case may be (after reimbursement of any expenses incurred by Lender), shall be applied to reimburse Borrower for the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding the Property (the “Restoration”), in the manner set forth herein. Borrower shall commence and diligently prosecute such Restoration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Lender be obligated to apply the Proceeds or Award to reimburse Borrower for the cost of Restoration unless, in addition to satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, both (x) Borrower shall pay (and if required by Lender, Borrower shall deposit with Lender in advance) all costs of such Restoration in excess of the net amount of the Proceeds or the Award made available pursuant to the terms hereof; and (y) Lender shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that during the period of the Restoration, the Rents will be at least equal to the sum of the operating expenses and Debt Service and other reserve payments required hereunder, as reasonably determined by Lender.

---

7.4.2 Application to Debt. Except as provided in Section 7.4.1 above, any Proceeds and/or Award may, at the option of Lender in its discretion, be applied to the payment of (i) accrued but unpaid interest on the Note, (ii) the unpaid Principal and (iii) other charges due under the Note and/or any of the other Loan Documents, or applied to reimburse Borrower for the cost of any Restoration, in the manner set forth in Section 7.4.3 below. Any such prepayment of the Loan shall be without any Yield Maintenance Premium.

7.4.3 Procedure for Application to Restoration. If Borrower is entitled to reimbursement out of the Proceeds or an Award held by Lender, such Proceeds or Award shall be disbursed from time to time from the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount upon Lender being furnished with (i) evidence satisfactory to Lender of the estimated cost of completion of the Restoration, (ii) a fixed price or guaranteed maximum cost construction contract for Restoration satisfactory to Lender, (iii) prior to the commencement of Restoration, all immediately available funds in addition to the Proceeds or Award that in Lender’s judgment are required to complete the proposed Restoration, (iv) such architect’s certificates, waivers of lien, contractor’s sworn statements, title insurance endorsements, bonds, plats of survey, permits, approvals, licenses and such other documents and items as Lender may reasonably require and approve in Lender’s discretion, and (iv) all plans and specifications for such Restoration, such plans and specifications to be approved by Lender prior to commencement of any work. Lender may, at Borrower’s expense, retain a consultant to review and approve all requests for disbursements, which approval shall also be a condition precedent to any disbursement. No payment made prior to the final completion of the Restoration shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the value of the work performed from time to time; funds other than the Proceeds or Award shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such Proceeds or Award; and at all times, the undisbursed balance of such Proceeds or Award remaining in the hands of Lender, together with funds deposited for that purpose or irrevocably committed to the satisfaction of Lender by or on behalf of Borrower for that purpose, shall be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of Lender to pay for the cost of completion of the Restoration, free and clear of all Liens or claims for Lien. Provided no Default or Event of Default then exists, any surplus that remains out of the Proceeds held by Lender after payment of such costs of Restoration shall be paid to Borrower. Any surplus that remains out of the Award received by Lender after payment of such costs of Restoration shall, in the discretion of Lender, be retained by Lender and applied to payment of the Debt or returned to Borrower.

8.2 Remedies.

8.2.1 Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in paragraph (f) or (g) of Section 8.1 above) and at any time and from time to time thereafter, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to the Loan Documents or at law or in equity, Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the Property; including declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable (including unpaid interest), Default Rate interest, Late Payment Charges, Yield Maintenance Premium and any other amounts owing by Borrower), without notice or demand; and upon any Event of Default described in paragraph (f) or (g) of Section 8.1 above, the Debt (including unpaid interest, Default Rate interest, Late Payment Charges, Yield Maintenance Premium and any other amounts owing by Borrower) shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained in any Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

8.2.2 Remedies Cumulative. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under the Loan Documents 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, or be automatically, due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by

 

-57-

---

law, equity or contract or as set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing, (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property, the Mortgage has been foreclosed, the Property has been sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full. To the extent permitted by applicable law, nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any portion of the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other portion, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the entire Property or any part thereof, in its discretion.

8.2.3 [Intentionally Omitted]

8.2.4 Delay. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default, or the granting of any indulgence or compromise by Lender shall impair any such remedy, right or power hereunder or 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 shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Lender reserves the right to seek a deficiency judgment or preserve a deficiency claim in connection with the foreclosure of the Mortgage to the extent necessary to foreclose on all or any portion of the Property, the Rents, the Cash Management Accounts or any other collateral.

8.2.5 Lender’s Right to Perform. If Borrower fails to perform any covenant or obligation contained herein and such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) Business Days after Borrower’s receipt of written notice thereof from Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s right to exercise any of its rights, powers or remedies as provided hereunder, or under any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, perform, or cause performance of, such covenant or obligation, and all costs, expenses, liabilities, penalties and fines of Lender incurred or paid in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower to Lender upon demand and if not paid shall be added to the Debt ( and to the extent permitted under applicable laws, secured by the Mortgage and other Loan Documents) and shall bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation to send notice to Borrower of any such failure.

 

9.	SPECIAL PROVISIONS

9.1 Sale of Note and Secondary Market Transaction.

evidencing ownership interests in the Note and the Mortgage (each such sale, assignment, participation and/or securitization is referred to herein as a “Secondary Market Transaction”). In connection with any Secondary Market Transaction, Borrower shall use all reasonable efforts and cooperate fully and in good faith with Lender and otherwise 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 such Secondary Market Transactions, including: (a) to (i) to provide such financial and other information with respect to the Property, Borrower and its Affiliates, Manager and any tenants of the Property, (ii) provide business plans and budgets relating to the Property and (iii) subject to the rights of tenants at the Property, perform or permit or cause to be performed or permitted such site inspection, appraisals, surveys, market studies, environmental reviews and reports, engineering reports and other due diligence investigations of the Property, as may be reasonably requested from time to time by Lender or the Rating Agencies or as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction or Exchange Act requirements (the items provided to Lender pursuant to this paragraph (a) being called the “Provided Information”), together, if customary, with appropriate verification of and/or consents to the Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of independent attorneys acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies; (b) cause counsel to render opinions as to non-consolidation and any other opinion customary in securitization transactions with respect to the Property, Borrower and its Affiliates, which counsel and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies; (c) make such representations and warranties as of the closing date of any Secondary Market Transaction with respect to the Property, Borrower and the Loan Documents as are customarily provided in such transactions and as may be reasonably requested by Lender or the Rating Agencies and consistent with the facts covered by such representations and warranties as they exist on the date thereof, including the representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents; (d) provide current certificates of good standing and qualification with respect to Borrower and Sole Member from appropriate Governmental Authorities; and (e) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents and Borrower’s organizational documents, as may be requested by Lender or the Rating Agencies or otherwise to effect a Secondary Market Transaction, provided that nothing contained in this subsection (e) shall result in a material economic change in the transaction; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.1.1 Borrower shall not be required to (A) incur any out-of-pocket expense in connection with the Secondary Market Transaction unless Lender agrees to pay for such out of pocket expenses as they are incurred by Borrower (including, without limitation, a change in the interest rate or the stated maturity of the Loan), (B) agree to a modification of any Loan Document that would have a material impact upon the rights, liabilities, or responsibilities of Borrower, or (C) take any actions that would impose a significant burden on Borrower. Borrower’s cooperation obligations set forth herein shall continue until the Loan has been paid in full.

9.1.2 Use of Information. Borrower understands that all or any portion of the Provided Information and the Required Records may be included in disclosure documents in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction, including a prospectus or private placement memorandum (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”), or provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the

 

-59-

---

Rating Agencies, and service providers or other parties relating to the Secondary Market Transaction. If the Disclosure Document is required to be revised, Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in updating the Provided Information or Required Records for inclusion or summary in the Disclosure Document or for other use reasonably required in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction by providing all current information pertaining to Borrower, Manager and the Property necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects with respect to such matters.

9.1.3 Borrower Obligations Regarding Disclosure Documents. In connection with a Disclosure Document, Borrower shall: (a) if requested by Lender, certify in writing that Borrower has carefully examined those portions of such Disclosure Document, pertaining to Borrower, the Property, Manager and the Loan, and that such portions do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (b) indemnify (in a separate instrument of indemnity, if so requested by Lender) (i) any underwriter, syndicate member or placement agent (collectively, the “Underwriters”) retained by Lender or its issuing company affiliate (the “Issuer”) in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction, (ii) Lender and (iii) the Issuer that is named in the Disclosure Document or registration statement relating to a Secondary Market Transaction (the “Registration Statement”), and each of the Issuer’s directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement and each person or entity who controls the Issuer or the Lender within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 30 of the Exchange Act (collectively within (iii), the “GCM Group”), and each of its directors and each person who controls each of the Underwriters, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Underwriter Group”) for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (the “Liabilities”) to which Lender, the GCM Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject (including reimbursing all of them for any legal or other expenses actually incurred in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities) insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any of the Provided Information or in any of the applicable portions of such sections of the Disclosure Document applicable to Borrower, Manager, the Property or the Loan, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in the applicable portions of such sections or necessary in order to make the statements in the applicable portions of such sections in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to indemnify Lender for any Liabilities relating to untrue statements or omissions which Borrower identified to Lender in writing at the time of Borrower’s examination of such Disclosure Document.

9.1.4 Borrower Indemnity Regarding Filings. In connection with filings under the Exchange Act, Borrower shall (i) indemnify Lender, the GCM Group and the Underwriter Group for any Liabilities to which Lender, the GCM Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Provided Information a material fact required to be stated in the Provided Information in order to make the statements in the Provided Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading and (ii) reimburse Lender, the GCM Group or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses actually incurred by

 

-60-

---

Lender, GCM Group or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.

9.1.5 Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 9.1.3 above or Section 9.1.4 above of notice of the commencement of any action for which a claim for indemnification is to be made against Borrower, such indemnified party shall notify Borrower in writing of such commencement, but the omission to so notify Borrower will not relieve Borrower from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to Borrower. If any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies Borrower of the commencement thereof, Borrower 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 of commencement, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party in its discretion. After notice from Borrower to such indemnified party under this Section 9.1.5, Borrower shall not be responsible 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 Borrower and an indemnified party, and any 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 Borrower, then 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 or parties. Borrower shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel unless there are legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another indemnified party.

9.1.6 Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 9.1.3 above or Section 9.1.4 above is for any reason held to be unenforceable by an indemnified party in respect of any Liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 9.1.3 above or Section 9.1.4 above, Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such 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 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) the GCM Group’s and Borrower’s 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 Borrower hereby agree that it may not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.

9.1.7 [Intentionally Omitted]

9.1.8 Severance of Loan. Lender shall have the right, at any time (whether prior to, in connection with, or after any Secondary Market Transaction or for the purpose of enforcing Lender’s rights and remedies under the Loan Documents), with respect to all or any

 

-61-

---

portion of the Loan, to modify, split and/or sever all or any portion of the Loan as hereinafter provided. Without limiting the foregoing, Lender may (i) cause the Note and the Mortgage to be split into a first and second mortgage loan, (ii) create one more senior and subordinate notes (i.e., an A/B or A/B/C structure), (iii) create multiple components of the Note or Notes (and allocate or reallocate the principal balance of the Loan among such components) or (iv) otherwise sever the Loan into two (2) or more loans secured by mortgages and by a pledge of partnership or membership interests (directly or indirectly) in Borrower (i.e., a senior loan/mezzanine loan structure), in each such case, in whatever proportion and whatever priority Lender determines; provided, however, in each such instance the outstanding principal balance of all the Notes evidencing the Loan (or components of such Notes) immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to such modification and the weighted average of the interest rates for all such Notes (or components of such Notes) immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the interest rate of the original Note immediately prior to such modification. If requested by Lender, Borrower (and Borrower’s constituent members, if applicable) shall execute within two (2) Business Days after such request, such documentation as Lender may reasonably request to evidence and/or effectuate any such modification or severance. Borrower shall not be required to (A) incur any out-of-pocket expense in connection with any action taken pursuant to this Section 9.1.8 unless Lender agrees to pay for such out of pocket expenses as they are incurred by Borrower (including, without limitation, a change in the interest rate or the stated maturity of the Loan), (B) agree to a modification of any Loan Document that would have a material impact upon the rights, liabilities, or responsibilities of Borrower, or (C) take any actions that would impose a significant burden on Borrower.

 

10.	MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Exculpation. Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest and rights under the Loan Documents, or in the Property, the Rents or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Property, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with any Loan Document. The provisions of this Section 10.1 shall not, however, (i) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any Loan Document; (ii) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Mortgage; (iii) affect the validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (iv) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (v) impair the enforcement of the Assignment of Leases; (vi) constitute a prohibition against Lender to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to fully realize the security granted by the Mortgage or to exercise its remedies against the Property; or (vii) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation

of Borrower (but not any of Borrower’s constituent members, partners, officers, directors or shareholders), by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following (all such liability and obligation of Borrower for any or all of the following being referred to herein as “Borrower’s Recourse Liabilities”):

(a) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower or Sole Member in connection with obtaining the Loan;

(e) misappropriation (including failure to turn over to Lender on demand following an Event of Default) of tenant security deposits and rents collected in advance;

(f) the failure to pay Taxes or Insurance Premiums, provided Borrower shall not be liable to the extent funds to pay such amounts are available in the Tax and Insurance Subaccount and Lender failed to pay same;

(g) the failure to pay transfer fees and charges due Lender under the Loan Documents in connection with any subordinate financing or any transfer of all or any part of the Property, or any interest therein, from Borrower to Borrower’s transferee, or transfer of beneficial interest in Borrower; or

the Debt in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) Lender’s agreement not to pursue personal liability of Borrower as set forth above SHALL BECOME NULL AND VOID and shall be of no further force and effect, and the Debt shall be fully recourse to Borrower (but not any of Borrower’s other constituent members, partners, officers, directors or shareholders) in the event that one or more of the following occurs (each, a “Springing Recourse Event”): (i) an Event of Default described in Section 8.1(d) hereof shall have occurred (solely as a result of a voluntary Transfer), or (ii) a breach of the covenants set forth in Section 5.13 hereof, or (iii) Borrower’s voluntary commencement of proceedings to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent; Borrower’s consent to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it; Borrower’s filing of a petition seeking, or consent to, reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state law relating to bankruptcy or insolvency; Borrower’s consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of Borrower or a substantial part of Borrower’s property; Borrower’s assignment for the benefit of creditors; or the filing of an involuntary petition in bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against Borrower by any principal of or owner of any interest in Borrower or any affiliate of or party related to Borrower (but excluding any owner or affiliate that indirectly owns or is affiliated with Borrower solely from its ownership of shares in the REIT).

10.2 Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, whether incurred in connection with enforcing this indemnity or defending claims of third parties) of any kind in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. Lender shall indemnify and hold Borrower harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, whether incurred in connection with enforcing this indemnity or defending claims of third parties) of any kind in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.2 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Debt.

10.3 Retention of Servicer. Lender reserves the right to retain the Servicer to act as its agent hereunder with such powers as are specifically delegated to the Servicer by Lender, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, any pooling and servicing agreement or similar agreement entered into as a result of a Secondary Market Transaction, the Deposit Account Agreement or otherwise, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Borrower shall pay any reasonable fees and expenses of the Servicer (i) in connection with a release of the Property (or any portion thereof), (ii) in connection with an assumption or modification of the Loan, (iii) in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents or (iv) in connection with any other action or approval taken by Servicer hereunder on behalf of Lender (which shall not include ongoing regular servicing fees relating to the day-to-day servicing of the Loan, for which Borrower shall not be charged).

10.4 Survival.

forth in this Agreement. All Borrower’s covenants and agreements in this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the respective legal representatives, successors and assigns of Lender.

10.5 Lender’s Discretion. Whenever pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or consent or withhold consent, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender or is to be in Lender’s discretion, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove, to consent or withhold consent, or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, or acceptable or unacceptable or in Lender’s discretion shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the reasonable discretion of Lender.

10.6 Governing Law.

THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE AND ANY APPLICABLE LAW OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BORROWER HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM TO ASSERT THAT THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION GOVERNS THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTE, AND THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

10.7 Modification, Waiver in Writing. No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to or demand on Borrower shall entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, or under any other Loan Document, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under any Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under the Loan Documents, or to declare an Event of Default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

10.8 Trial by Jury. BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY AGREE NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER AND LENDER, AND IS INTENDED TO

ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. EITHER PARTY IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY THE OTHER.

10.9 Headings/Exhibits. The Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose. The Exhibits attached hereto, are hereby incorporated by reference as a part of the Agreement with the same force and effect as if set forth in the body hereof.

10.10 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

10.11 Preferences. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the Debt. To the extent Borrower makes a payment to Lender, or Lender receives proceeds of any collateral, which is in whole or part subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the Debt or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender. This provision shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Debt.

10.12 Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or any other Loan Document specifically and expressly requires the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which no Loan Document specifically and expressly requires the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.

10.13 Remedies of Borrower. If a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or any of its agents, including Servicer, has acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under any Loan Document, Lender or any such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents, including Servicer, shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be to commence an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. Any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment. Borrower specifically waives any claim against Lender and its agents, including Servicer, with respect to actions taken by Lender or its agents on Borrower’s behalf.

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

10.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents, including Servicer, or otherwise offset any obligations to make payments required under the Loan Documents.

10.16 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public, which refers to the Loan Documents, the Loan, Lender or any member of the GCM Group, a Loan purchaser, the Servicer or the trustee in a Secondary Market Transaction, shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Lender shall have the right to issue any of the foregoing without Borrower’s approval. Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary in this Section 10.16, nothing contained in this Section 10.16 shall prohibit or impair Borrower’s right to disclose information relating to the Loan and/or the Loan Documents (a) to any due diligence representatives and/or consultants that are engaged by, work for or are acting on behalf of, any securities dealers and/or broker dealers evaluating Borrower, (b) in connection with any filings (including any amendment or supplement to any S-11 filing) with governmental agencies (including the SEC) by the REIT, and (c) to any broker/dealers in the REIT’s broker/dealer network and any of the REIT investors.

10.17 No Usury. Borrower and Lender intend at all times to comply with applicable state law or applicable United States federal law (to the extent that it permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under state law) and that this Section 10.17 shall control every other agreement in the Loan Documents. If the applicable law (state or federal) is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under the Note or any other Loan Document, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the Debt, or if Lender’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Loan or any prepayment by Borrower results in Borrower having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited against the unpaid Principal and all other Debt (or, if the Debt has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for thereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of 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 Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.

10.18 Conflict; Construction of Documents. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that each is represented by separate counsel in connection with the negotiation and drafting of the Loan Documents and that the Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party that drafted them.

10.19 No Third Party Beneficiaries. The Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than the Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained therein.

10.20 Yield Maintenance Premium. Borrower acknowledges that (a) Lender is making the Loan in consideration of the receipt by Lender of all interest and other benefits intended to be conferred by the Loan Documents and (b) if payments of Principal are made to Lender prior to the Stated Maturity Date, for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary, as a result of Lender’s acceleration of the Loan after an Event of Default, by operation of law or otherwise, Lender will not receive all such interest and other benefits and may, in addition, incur costs. For these reasons, and to induce Lender to make the Loan, Borrower agrees that, except as expressly provided in Article 7 hereof, all prepayments, if any, whether voluntary or involuntary, will be accompanied by the Yield Maintenance Premium. Such Yield Maintenance Premium shall be required whether payment is made by Borrower, by a Person on behalf of Borrower, or by the purchaser at any foreclosure sale, and may be included in any bid by Lender at such sale. Borrower further acknowledges that (A) it is a knowledgeable real estate developer and/or investor; (B) it fully understands the effect of the provisions of this Section 10.20, as well as the other provisions of the Loan Documents; (C) the making of the Loan by Lender at the Interest Rate and other terms set forth in the Loan Documents are sufficient consideration for Borrower’s obligation to pay a Yield Maintenance Premium (if required); and (D) Lender would not make the Loan on the terms set forth herein without the inclusion of such provisions. Borrower also acknowledges that the provisions of this Agreement limiting the right of prepayment and providing for the payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium and other charges specified herein were independently negotiated and bargained for, and constitute a specific material part of the consideration given by Borrower to Lender for the making of the Loan except as expressly permitted hereunder.

10.21 Assignment. The Loan, the Note, the Loan Documents and/or Lender’s rights, title, obligations and interests therein may be assigned by Lender and any of its successors and assigns to any Person at any time in its discretion, in whole or in part, whether by operation of law (pursuant to a merger or other successor in interest) or otherwise. Upon such assignment, all references to Lender in this Agreement and in any Loan Document shall be deemed to refer to such assignee or successor in interest and such assignee or successor in interest shall thereafter stand in the place of Lender. Borrower may not assign its rights, title, interests or obligations under this Agreement or under any of the Loan Documents except in connection with a Transfer and Assumption permitted hereunder.

10.22 Certain Additional Rights of Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary which may be contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have:

 

-68-

---

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

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

(iii) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to receive monthly, quarterly and year-end financial reports, including balance sheets, statements of income, shareholder’s equity and cash flow, a management report and schedules of outstanding indebtedness;

(iv) the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to restrict financing to be obtained with respect to the Property so long as any portion of the Debt remains outstanding;

(v) the right, without restricting any other right of Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including any similar right), to restrict, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower’s payments of management, consulting, director or similar fees to Affiliates of Borrower from the Rents;

(vi) the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to approve any operating budget and/or capital budget of Borrower;

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

(viii) the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to restrict the transfer of interests in Borrower held by its members, and the right to restrict the transfer of interests in such member, except for any transfer that is a Permitted Transfer.

The rights described above may be exercised directly or indirectly by any Person that owns substantially all of the ownership interests in Lender. The provisions of this Section are intended to satisfy the requirement of management rights for purposes of the Department of Labor “plan assets” regulation 29 C.F.R., Section 2510.3-101.

10.23 Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by this Agreement and by law, following and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by

acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Borrower.

10.24 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
