The Lender desires to make the Loan, and the Borrower desires to enter into the Loan, all upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. NOW, THEREFORE, the parties mutually agree, represent and warrant as follows: ARTICLE I THE LOAN 1.1 Type and Amount of Loan. Subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions hereof and at the discretion of the Lender, and in reliance on the representations and warranties contained herein and in the other Loan Documents as defined below, the Lender agrees to furnish a permanent mortgage loan to the Borrower in the amount of TWO MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($2,700,000.00), to be secured by, among other things, a first mortgage on the real property commonly known as 15 Progress Drive and 30 Commerce Drive, Shelton, Connecticut and being more particularly described in Schedule A hereto attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Property”). The Loan shall be used to (a) fund the Tenant Improvements (as hereinafter defined) and (b) pay related closing expenses. 1.2 Interest and Repayment of Principal of Loan. The promissory note evidencing the Loan (the “Note”) is attached hereto as Schedule B, and contains all the terms relative to the repayment of principal, the payment of interest and the rate at which interest shall accrue. 1.3 Guaranty. Each Guarantor shall unconditionally and jointly and severally guaranty lien free completion of the Tenant Improvements and the payment and performance of all of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan and the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Obligations”), including, without limitation. (i) repayment of all amounts due under the Loan, and (ii) lien free completion of the Tenant Improvements, pursuant to the terms of a guaranty (the “Guaranty”) in form and substance acceptable to the Lender.

 


1.4 Commercial Checking Account. Throughout the term of the Loan, the Borrower shall maintain a “Commercial Checking Account” in the name of the Borrower at the Lender into which Borrower shall deposit all advances under the Loan, all proceeds of sale from the sale of portions of the Property and all other income and profits derived from the Property. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower shall direct that all income and profits derived or received from the operation of the Property, including, without limitation, all rents and incomes received under any lease, including the Required Lease (as hereinafter defined), for all or any portion of the Property be directly deposited into said account. In furtherance thereof, Borrower will execute and deliver a notice to Required Tenant (as hereinafter defined) directing that the Required Tenant make all rent payments and all other payments required under the Required Lease to the Commercial Checking Account. Borrower hereby authorizes and directs Lender to automatically debit the Commercial Checking Account each calendar month during the term of the Loan in an amount equal to the sum of the following: (i) the amount necessary to establish and maintain an escrow account for annual estimated real estate taxes on the Property, insurance premiums and other charges and assessments which may accrue against the Property in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage; (ii) the next occurring installment of principal and interest due under the Note; and (iii) the next occurring Monthly Leasing Reserve Deposit (as hereinafter defined). 1.5 Reserve Escrow. (a) Commencing on the first day of the first month following the eighth (8th) anniversary of the Note (i.e. October 1, 2018) (the “Leasing Reserve Commencement Date”) and the first day of each month thereafter during the remaining term of Loan, Borrower shall be required to deposit, or direct the deposit, of the cash sum of Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) (the “Leasing Reserve”). The Leasing Reserve shall be deposited with Lender in substantially equal monthly installments of Thirteen Thousand Nine Hundred Sixteen and 67/100 Dollars ($13,916.67) commencing with the first payment of principal and interest due under the Note on the first day of the first month following the Leasing Reserve Commencement Date (each a “Monthly Leasing Reserve Deposit”) until such time as the initial Leasing Reserve of Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) has been deposited. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may pre-pay all or part of the Leasing Reserve provided that the aggregate sum deposited into the Leasing Reserve Account (as hereinafter defined) shall at all times be equal to or greater than the aggregate sum of the required Monthly Leasing Reserve Deposits which would have become payable on a monthly basis absent’ the pre-payment. All Monthly Leasing Reserve Deposits shall be paid to the Lender at the same time and in the same manner as the required monthly payment of principal, interest, tax and insurance escrow and shall be deposited by the Lender in an account (the “Leasing Reserve Account”) to be maintained at the Lender. The Leasing Reserve and all Monthly Leasing Reserve Deposits shall be deposited into the Leasing Reserve Account and shall not constitute a trust fund and may be commingled with other escrow monies held by Lender. The Borrower shall have no ability to withdraw any sums from the Leasing Reserve Account except for such disbursements as are authorized to be made by the Lender as set forth herein. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender a Pledge Agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Lender whereby the Borrower shall, inter alio’, pledge, assign and grant a security interest to Lender, as additional security for Loan, in all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the Leasing Reserve Account, the funds contained therein and all 2

 


interest earned or accrued thereon, if any. During the existence of an Event of Default hereunder or under any other Loan Document, Lender may apply any sums then present in the Leasing Reserve Account to the payment of the Loan in any order in its sole discretion. (b) Except as set forth herein, the Lender shall retain the Leasing Reserve in the Leasing Reserve Account as additional collateral for the Loan. Once the Borrower has met the Leasing Requirements to the satisfaction of the Lender, the Lender shall disburse the funds from the Leasing Reserve Account as necessary but subject to the sole but reasonable discretion of the Lender and the terms of this Section 1.5, to fund or reimburse the Borrower for the Leasing Costs (as hereafter defined) upon presentation of an invoice or paid receipt and/or to fund debt service payments under the Loan in the event that rental payments under the Required Lease terminate prior to the Maturity Date (as defined in the Note). The Lender shall have no obligation to make any disbursements from the Leasing Reserve Account prior to the Borrower’s satisfaction of the Leasing Requirements or during the existence of an Event of Default, or there remains insufficient funds in the Leasing Reserve Account for disbursement. During the existence of an Event of Default, an event or condition exist that but for the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, or after depletion of the Leasing Reserve Account the Borrower shall pay all Leasing Costs out of its own, non- borrowed funds. (c) All advances from the Leasing Reserve Account shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (i) Upon ten (10) days prior written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in herein, Lender shall disburse amounts from the Leasing Reserve to fund the actual Leasing Costs incurred by Borrower, or, in the event Borrower has paid such costs, reimburse Borrower for the actual Leasing Costs incurred by Borrower. Each request for disbursement from the Leasing Reserve shall be on a form provided or approved by Lender and shall include such information and additional documentation as Lender may require, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. (ii) Lender shall have no obligation to make any advance if there exists an Event of Default, or any condition, circumstance or occurrence which but for the giving of notice or passage of time would constitute an Event of Default, under the Note, the Mortgage, or any other Loan Documents, or Borrower is in default under any lease, contract or obligation affecting the Property and such default under a lease, contract or obligation is material and adverse to Lender’s security, as determined by Lender in its sole but reasonable discretion. (iii) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Borrower shall not make a request for disbursement from the Leasing Reserve more frequently than once in any calendar month. (d) As used herein: 3

 


((1)) “Leasing Requirements” shall mean the (A) renewal of the Required Lease for the entire Building (as hereinafter defined) for the first five (5) year renewal term provided for under the Required Lease or (ii) execution of a new lease with a new tenant or tenants for no less than ninety percent (90%) of the rentable area of the Building on terms and conditions acceptable to the Lender with a tenant or tenants whose credit is acceptable to the Lender, which leases will provide a debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.40 to 1 for not less than a five (5) year term commencing upon scheduled expiration date for the Required Lease. (ii) “Leasing Costs” shall mean (A) the costs reasonably incurred by the Borrower to perform, or cause to be performed, tenant improvements required under any replacement lease or modification, renewal or extension of the Required Lease; and (B) the costs of leasing commissions incurred by Borrower in connection with the leasing of the Building or any portion thereof, provided that (x) such leasing commissions are reasonable and customary for properties similar to the Property and the portion of the Property leased for which such leasing commission is due, and (y) the amounts of such leasing commissions are determined pursuant to arm’s length transactions between Borrower and any leasing agent to which a leasing commission is due, and excluding any leasing commissions which shall be due any member, general partner or shareholder of Borrower or any affiliate of Borrower, except that Lender acknowledges (i) that an affiliate of Borrower may receive a “co-broker” commission of one percent (1%) in excess of the brokerage commission otherwise payable to CBRE (or any broker retained by Borrower to replace CBRE) pursuant to its listing agreement with Borrower and (ii) if Borrower’s leasing agent affiliate is the sole procuring broker Borrower’s affiliate can receive a market rate commission. 1.6 Initial Debt Service Reserve. Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Borrower shall deposit the sum of Thirty-Two Thousand Five Hundred Twenty- Seven and 30/100 Dollars ($32,527.30) (the “Initial Debt Service Reserve”) into a restricted reserve account in the Borrower’s name maintained at the Lender (the “IDS Reserve Account”). As security for full payment of the Loan and timely performance of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents and this Agreement, Borrower hereby pledges, transfers, assigns and sets over to Lender, and grants to Lender a continuing security interest in and to, the Initial Debt Service Reserve and the IDS Reserve Account, all money deposited therein from time to time, and all profits and proceeds thereof. Borrower agrees to execute, acknowledge, deliver, file or do, at its sole expense, all other acts, assignments, notices, agreements or other instruments as Lender may reasonably require in order to perfect the foregoing security interest, pledge and assignment or otherwise to fully effectuate the rights granted to Lender by this Section.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that Lender’s security interest hereunder shall not extend to any Hazardous Substances (as hereinafter defined) or Hazardous Waste (as hereinafter defined) or devices utilized primarily for the storage of Hazardous Substances or Hazardous Waste. (c) Rents and Leases. (i) Lender shall be provided with a general assignment of rents and leases (the “Assignment of Leases”), in form and substance satisfactory to Lender of all leases (each. a “Lease” and collectively the “Leases”) and rents now existing or arising in the future with respect to the Property. The form and content of all Leases shall be acceptable to Lender and its counsel. Each and every Lease or rental agreement involving any part of the Property must be subordinate to the Mortgage and any and all modifications, renewals, extensions and/or replacements of said Mortgage. Lender’s title insurance shall insure such subordination. Borrower shall not enter into any Lease, sublease or other rental agreement without Lender’s prior written approval of said Lease or rental agreement, and in no event shall any Lease or rental agreement contain any option or rights of first refusal to purchase the Property or any portion thereof. Any tenant and/or occupant whose Lease is not automatically subordinate to the Mortgage on terms and conditions acceptable to the Lender shall duly execute and deliver to the Lender a subordination, ratification and attornment agreement, which agreement shall be satisfactory in form and substance to the Lender and shall provide, among other terms, that (A) tenant acknowledges the assignment of its Lease or rental agreement to the Lender; (B) upon notification from the Lender, the tenant and/or occupant shall pay, without set off or deduction, all rent and other sums due under its Lease and/or rental agreement directly to the Lender or its designee regardless of whether or not said tenant 8

 


or occupant receives a notice to the contrary from the Borrower; (C) the Lender shall not be responsible for refunding any security deposits unless the Lender has actually received said deposits; (D) that the parties will not modify, amend, cancel, surrender, or pledge or assign the Lease without the Lender’s consent; and (E) that the tenant will not terminate the Lease by reason of landlord’s default without at least ten (10) days’ written notice to the Lender and an opportunity to cure the default; and containing such other provisions as the Lender may reasonably require. If any lease approved by the Lender provides that the tenant under that Lease is entitled to a non-disturbance agreement from the Lender, the Lender agrees to issue such non-disturbance agreement from the Lender, the Lender agrees to issue such non-desturbance agreement as long as such tenant is not in any way affiliated with or owned or controlled by Borrower. If the Lender should so require, the written lease subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements described hereinabove shall be recorded in the Shelton Land Records. (ii) Lender shall be authorized to notify lessees of the existence of such assignments. Lender agrees, however, not to exercise any such assignments until such time as an Event of Default exists hereunder or under the Loan Documents. (d) Additional Security. In addition, the Loan shall be secured by such additional collateral documents relating to the Property and the improvements thereon as the Lender may require. (e) Loan Documents. All of the foregoing, and all other documents executed by Borrower or Guarantor in connection with the Loan being collectively referred to as the “Loan Documents”.

For purposes hereof, the term “Government Lists” means (i) the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons Lists maintained by Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), (ii) any other list of terrorists, terrorist organizations or narcotics traffickers maintained pursuant to any of the Rules and Regulations of OFAC that Lender notified Borrower in writing is now included in “Governmental Lists”, or (iii) any similar lists maintained by the United States Department of State, the United States Department of Commerce or any other governmental authority or pursuant to any Executive Order of the President of the United States of America that Lender notified Borrower in writing is now included in “Governmental Lists”. 7.18 Usury Savings Clause. It is the intent of Lender and Borrower to comply at all times with applicable usury laws. If at any time such laws would render usurious any amounts called for under any of the Loan Documents, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express intention that such excess amount be immediately credited on the principal balance of the Note (or, if the Note has been fully paid, refunded by Lender to Borrower, and Borrower shall accept such refund), and the provisions hereof and thereof be immediately deemed to be reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder reduced to comply with the then applicable laws, without the necessity of the execution of any further documents, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder. Any such crediting or refund shall not cure or waive any default by Borrower under any of the Loan Documents. If at any time following any such reduction in the interest rate payable by Borrower, there remains unpaid any principal amounts under the Note and the maximum interest rate permitted by law is increased or eliminated, then the interest rate payable hereunder shall be readjusted, to the extent permitted by applicable law, so that the total dollar amount of interest payable hereunder shall be equal to the dollar amount of interest which would have been paid by Borrower without giving effect to the reduction in interest resulting from compliance with the applicable usury laws theretofore in effect. Borrower agrees, however, that in determining whether or not any interest payable under any of the Loan Documents is usurious, any non-principal payment (except payments specifically stated in the Note or in any other Loan Documents to be interest), including, without limitation, prepayment fees and late charges, shall be deemed to the extent permitted by law, to be an expense, fee, premium or penalty rather than interest. 7.19 Assignment, Syndication and Participation. The Lender reserves the right to assign all or any portion of the Loan to other lenders (with a corresponding reduction in Lender’s share of the Loan) or to participate out all or any portion of the Loan. The Borrower and Guarantor grants to the Lender the right to distribute to potential investors, assignees and participants, without further notice to the Borrower or Guarantor, and at the Lender’s sole 24

 


discretion, any information relative to the Borrower, including, but not limited to, preliminary budgets, pro forma statements and financial statements. The rights conferred upon the Lender by this Agreement shall be automatically extended to and vested in any assignee or transferee of the Lender upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of such assignment or transfer; provided, however, that no such assignment or transfer shall enlarge or modify the obligations of the Borrower or Guarantor hereunder. 7.20 Appraisals. From time to time, Borrower shall permit the Lender to obtain additional appraisals of all or any portion of the Property, and if an appraisal is required by law, is made to ascertain the value of the Property upon considering a loan extension, or is commissioned following an Event of Default, then Borrower shall pay to the Lender within ten (10) business days of demand all costs of such appraisal. Appraisals shall be the property of the Lender but provided the Borrower is not in default hereunder, the Lender shall provide copies of any appraisals to Borrower or any Guarantor upon Borrower’s request provided the Borrower and any receiving Guarantor signs the Lender’s standard appraisal release letter.

SCHEDULE B PROMISSORY NOTE See Attached 31

 


Promissory Note Bridgeport, Connecticut $2,700,000.00 September 30, 2010 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, WU/LH 15 PROGRESS L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company, having an address of 60 Hempstead Avenue, Suite 718, West Hempstead, New York 11552 (hereinafter called “Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of PEOPLE’S UNITED BANK, a federal savings bank having an office at 850 Main Street, Bridgeport, Connecticut 06604 (the “Lender”), the principal sum of TWO MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND AND 00/100 ($2,700,000.00), plus interest, payable at the rate and in the manner provided in paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Note, together with all taxes assessed upon said sum against the holder hereof, and any costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in the collection of this Note, the foreclosure of the Open- End Mortgage Deed and Security Agreement from Borrower to Lender and dated of even date herewith (the “Mortgage”) securing, inter alia, this Note or in enforcing the terms and conditions of that certain Loan and Security Agreement entered into by and between the Borrower and the Lender and dated of even date herewith (the “Loan Agreement”) or in protecting or sustaining the lien of said Mortgage. Said amounts of principal, interest, fees, costs and expenses are collectively referred to in this Note as the “Entire Note Balance”. 1. INTEREST RATE. (a) The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to five and twenty-three-hundredths percent (5.23%) commencing on the date hereof and continuing until the Maturity Date (as hereinafter defined) or the sooner imposition of the Default Rate (as hereinafter defined) (b) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, as defined in this Note, the Mortgage or the Loan Agreement, the entire principal amount of this Note and all interest and other sums due thereon, at the option of Lender shall become immediately due and payable. Should an Event of Default occur, the outstanding balance of the loan shall bear interest at the rate set forth above plus five percent (5%) per annum (the “Default Rate”). 2. PAYMENTS. (a) Commencing on November 1, 2010 and on the first day of each successive month thereafter through and including the Maturity Date, principal and interest shall be payable in equal monthly installments in arrears in an amount equal to the sum necessary to fully amortize the loan at the interest rate then in effect over an assumed term of twenty five (25) years (the “Amortization Period”). Accordingly, commencing on November 1, 2010 and on the first day of each month thereafter through and including the Maturity Date, principal and interest shall be payable in successive equal monthly installments of Sixteen Thousand Two Hundred Sixty-Three and 65/100 Dollars ($16,263.65). On even date herewith, Borrower has prepaid interest that will accrue on the Note during the month of September, 2010. (b) All interest shall be computed on a daily basis and calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed, to be payable in arrears on the unpaid principal balance outstanding.

 


(c) All monthly payments of principal and/or interest required pursuant to the terms of this Note shall, at Lender’s option, be made together with one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual real estate taxes, insurance premiums and other charges and assessments which may accrue against the property if the same are being escrowed pursuant to the Mortgage. 3. MATURITY. The Entire Note Balance, if not sooner paid, shall be due and payable without notice or demand on October 1, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”). 4. PREPAYMENT PENALTY. Borrower may prepay this Note in whole or in part at any time only upon thirty (30) days prior notice (which may be revoked by the Borrower) to Lender (the “Prepayment Notice”) and the payment to Lender of a prepayment fee (the “Prepayment Fee”). The Prepayment Fee shall be equal the Net Loss (as defined below). As used herein, the term “Net Loss” means the economic loss the Lender sustains or incurs as a result of such prepayment, and the Borrower and the Lender agree that said economic loss shall be calculated as follows: (a) The Lender shall first determine the Index Rate. The “Index Rate” shall mean the index used to determine the interest rate payable by Borrower on the Prepayment Date. For purposes of this Note, the Index Rate shall be three and twenty-three-hundredths percent (3.23%). (b) Utilizing the Index Rate, the Lender shall then calculate the monthly interest amount payable from the Prepayment Date to the “Termination Date”, defined as the Maturity Date. The result is the “Monthly Index Payment”. (c) Utilizing the Reinvestment Rate (defined below), the Lender shall then calculate the monthly interest that would be earned by reinvesting the principal amount being prepaid for each month remaining until the Termination Date. The result is the “Monthly Reinvestment Payment”. The “Reinvestment Rate” shall be defined as the rate (as of the date Lender accepts the Borrower’s voluntary or involuntary prepayment or accelerates the indebtedness) available to Lender for the investment in U.S. Treasury Obligations (“Treasury Obligation”) with a maturity closest to, or co-terminus with, the Termination Date. If the Lender identifies more than one Treasury Obligation having the same maturity date, the Treasury Obligation having a coupon interest rate closest to the interest rate payable under the Loan as of the Prepayment Date shall be used. (d) Each Monthly Reinvestment Payment shall then be subtracted from the corresponding Monthly Index Payment; the result, if positive, is the “Monthly Payment Differential”. The Monthly Payment Differential shall in no event be less than zero. (e) Each Monthly Payment Differential shall then be discounted to present value at the Reinvestment Rate. The result is the “Discounted Monthly Payment Differential”. (f) All of the Discounted Monthly Payment Differential amounts shall then be added together, and such aggregated amount shall constitute the “Net Loss”. 2

 


Notwithstanding the Prepayment Fee specified above, there will be no Prepayment Fee or prohibition against prepayment during the period thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date. The Borrower shall be responsible, in addition to any Prepayment Fee, for the payment of any reasonable out-of-pocket third party administrative costs incurred by Lender in connection with such prepayment. If this Note shall be accelerated for any reason whatsoever, the applicable Prepayment Fee in effect as of the date of such acceleration shall be paid. All partial prepayments of principal shall be accompanied by and applied first to the payment of costs and expenses thereto unpaid late charges, then to accrued and unpaid interest and the balance on account of the unpaid principal in the inverse order of maturity. Partial prepayments shall not affect the Borrower’s obligation to make the regular installments of principal and interest required under the terms of this Note. 5. APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. Payments will be applied first to fully pay costs and expenses incurred by holder in collecting this Note or in sustaining and/or enforcing any security granted to secure this Note, then to fully pay any outstanding late charges or prepayment, then to fully pay accrued interest and the remainder will be applied to principal. 6. LATE CHARGE. Borrower shall pay the holder of this Note a late charge of five percent (5%) of any monthly installment not received by the holder within ten (10) days after the installment is due, to cover the additional expenses involved in handling such overdue installment. This charge shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedy the holder of this Note may have and is in addition to any reasonable fees and charges of any agents or attorneys which the holder of this Note is entitled to employ in the Event of Default hereunder, whether authorized herein or by law. Borrower will pay this late charge promptly but only once for each late payment. 7. DEFAULT. During the existence of any Event of Default (as hereinafter defined), the Entire Note Balance shall, at the option of the holder hereof, become immediately due and payable without notice or demand. An “Event of Default” is defined as any one of the following: (i) default in the payment of any interest, principal, or other amounts due hereunder during the term of this loan and such default continuing for a period of ten (10) days after the due date thereof; (ii) default in the payment of any principal or other amounts due upon the Maturity Date; (iii) an Event of Default in the performance of any of the other conditions or stipulations of this Note, the Loan Agreement or any other document evidencing an obligation to the Lender; (iv) the existence of any Event of Default as defined in the Mortgage or the breach of any provision of any other instrument securing this Note; or (v) any sale, conveyance or transfer of any interest in the property securing this Note in violation of the Loan Agreement. 8. PREJUDGMENT REMEDY WAIVER. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND REPRESENTS THAT THE LOAN EVIDENCED BY THIS NOTE IS A COMMERCIAL TRANSACTION AND THAT THE PROCEEDS OF THE LOAN SHALL NOT BE USED FOR PERSONAL, FAMILY OR HOUSEHOLD PURPOSES. THE BORROWER AND EACH ENDORSER, CO-BORROWER AND GUARANTOR HEREOF HEREBY VOLUNTARILY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS TO NOTICE OR HEARING UNDER CHAPTER 903a OF THE CONNECTICUT GENERAL STATUTES AS NOW OR HEREAFTER AMENDED, OR AS 3

The liability of Borrower or any co-Borrower, endorser or guarantor under this Note is unconditional and shall not be affected by any extension of time, renewal, waiver or any other modification whatsoever, granted or consented to by the holder.

CONNECTICUT LAW. The provisions of this Note shall be governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut. 13. JURISDICTION AND VENUE.

The parties hereto agree that any proceeding instituted in either of such courts shall be of proper venue, that such courts shall have personal jurisdiction over the parties and that any and all pleadings, summons, motions and other process in such proceeding shall be fully and effectively served when transmitted by United States Mail (registered or certified), postage and registry fees prepaid. Any judgment or decree obtained in any such action or proceeding may be filed or enforced in any other appropriate court. 14. RIGHT OF SET-OFF. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default as defined in this Note, the Lender shall have the right to set-off all or any part of Borrower’s or any Guarantors’ (as defined in the Loan Agreement) deposits, credit and property now or hereafter in the possession or control of the Lender, its agent or bailee or in transit to it and may apply the same, or any part thereof, to the Entire Note Balance without prior notice or demand. 15.

SCHEDULE 3.06 LITIGATION a lawsuit entitled “Josh Segal individually and derivatively on behalf of Lighthouse Real Estate Advisors, LLC v. Paul Cooper, Jeff Ravetz, Louis Sheinker and Lighthouse Real Estate Management, LLC” filed in the Supreme Court for the State of New York and County of New York as disclosed in that certain report prepared by United Corporate Services, Inc. dated February 23, 2009. a possible claim against Paul Cooper, Louis Sheinker and Jeff Ravetz (the “Defaulted Loan Guarantors”) in connection with their guaranty of a certain loan (the “Defaulted Loan”) from State Street Bank & Trust Company (as successor in interest to Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc.) (“State Street”) to LH 1440 L.L.C. (the “Defaulted Borrower”), which loan is alleged to be currently in default for the reasons more particularly set forth in a certain letter from State Street to LH 1440 L.L.C. and dated July 14, 2010 (the “Default Letter”). The Defaulted Loan Guarantors represent that the construction of all improvements contemplated by the Defaulted Loan have been completed with the exception of asphalt and paving as contemplated by the Project Schedule (as defined in the Default Letter) and that the cost of completing the asphalt and paving work is no greater than $800,000.00. The Defaulted Loan Guarantors also represent that (i) the claims described in the Default Letter are without merit for the following reasons: (i) neither State Street nor its predecessor in interest fulfilled its obligations under the documents evidencing and/or securing the above referenced loan insofar as they failed to fund/advance monies to which LH 1440 L.L.C. was entitled to receive under the loan (which issue is currently being appealed from the District Court for the Southern District of New York; and (ii) the obligations of the Defaulted Loan Guarantors under their guaranty of the Defaulted Loan is limited to completion of the asphalt and paving work described above and, accordingly, the maximum possible liability exposure of the Defaulted Loan Guarantors is, in the aggregate, not more than $800,000.00; and (2) that no enforcement action, whether by foreclosure, power or sale or otherwise, has been commenced by State Street or any other party with respect to the Defaulted Loan. 33
