Notes to Balance Sheets

September 30, 2007

(Unaudited)

1. Organization

DuPont Fabros Technology, Inc. (“DFT” or the “Company”) was organized in the state of Maryland on March 2, 2007. As of September 30, 2007, DFT was authorized to issue up to 1,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. DFT issued 1,000 shares of common stock on July 17, 2007. DFT had no operations from its formation through September 30, 2007.

DFT made an election to be taxed as an S-Corporation under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). DFT intends to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Code. DFT will generally not be subject to federal income tax to the extent that it distributes at least 90% of its taxable income for each tax year to its stockholders. REITs are subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements.

If DFT fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, DFT will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. Even if DFT qualifies for taxation as a REIT, DFT may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property and to federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The balance sheet has been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

3. Prepaid Offering Costs

In connection with DFT’s initial public offering (the “IPO”), certain legal, accounting and related costs have been incurred by affiliates of DFT. These costs will be reimbursed by DFT upon completion of the IPO and such costs were deducted from the gross proceeds of the offering.

4. Subsequent Events

We completed our IPO on October 24, 2007. The IPO resulted in the sale of 35,075,000 shares of common stock at a price per share of $21.00, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $736,575,000. The proceeds to the Company, net of underwriters’ discounts, commissions, financial advisory fees and other offering costs, were approximately $678,000,000. DFT intends to elect to be taxed as a REIT commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 2007.

Prior to August 7, 2007, each of our initial properties, or data centers, was directly owned by a single-property entity. To facilitate the closing of a credit facility with KeyBank National Association (the “KeyBank Credit Facility”) on August 7, 2007 and in contemplation of the IPO, we combined the entities holding interests in several of our operating and development properties—VA3, VA4, ACC2, ACC3 and CH1—into one holding company, Safari Ventures LLC (“Safari”), in order for those properties to serve as collateral for the KeyBank Credit Facility. Following the closing of the KeyBank Credit Facility, each of the former members of the property-holding entities held a direct or indirect equity interest in Safari. Safari made borrowings under the KeyBank Credit Facility to purchase land in Ashburn, Virginia that is being held for use in the development of ACC5 and ACC6. Upon completion of the IPO, the Company acquired the equity interests in Safari, the entity that owns ACC4 (a data center that was fully completed on October 30, 2007) and land that is being held for use in the future development of data centers we refer to as NJ1 and ACC7.

On October 5, 2007, we received a notice of violation from VDEQ regarding certain diesel generators at ACC4. The notice asserts that construction and operation of the generators was commenced prior to receiving a required air permit from VDEQ for construction and operation of the generators and that the generators have been operating since June 2007 without an air permit. At this time, we do not know what corrective actions, if any, VDEQ may require and we are unable to estimate the amount of any civil penalties that VDEQ may assess. We cannot assure you that an enforcement action by VDEQ will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Our Executive Chairman, Lammot J. du Pont, and our President and Chief Executive Officer, Hossein Fateh, have agreed to personally indemnify us against any civil penalties or charges which may be assessed against us by VDEQ directly arising out of the notice of violation issued on October 5, 2007. We have accrued a $750,000 liability on ACC4’s books as of September 30, 2007 related to this claim based on our best estimate of the potential penalty and a corresponding $750,000 receivable related to the indemnification agreement. However, we cannot assure you of the amount of any penalties or expenses we may incur in connection with this notice or that this indemnification agreement will be sufficient to protect us in all instances.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 (unaudited)

1. Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

DuPont Fabros Technology, Inc. (“we”, “us”, the “Company” or “DFT”) was formed on March 2, 2007 and is headquartered in Washington, D.C. The Company is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed company formed primarily to own, acquire, develop and operate wholesale data centers. We intend to elect to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ending December 31, 2007.

We completed our initial public offering of common stock (the “IPO”) on October 24, 2007. The IPO resulted in the sale of 35,075,000 shares of common stock at a price per share of $21.00, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $736,575,000. The proceeds to the Company, net of underwriters’ discounts, commissions, financial advisory fees and other offering costs, were approximately $678,000,000.

Prior to August 7, 2007, each of our initial properties, or data centers, was directly owned by a single-property entity. To facilitate the closing of a credit facility with KeyBank National Association (the “KeyBank Credit Facility”) on August 7, 2007 and in contemplation of the IPO, we combined the entities holding interests in several of our operating and development properties—VA3, VA4, ACC2, ACC3 and CH1—into one holding company, Safari Ventures LLC (“Safari”), in order for those properties to serve as collateral for the KeyBank Credit Facility. Following the closing of the KeyBank Credit Facility, each of the former members of the property-holding entities held a direct or indirect equity interest in Safari. Safari made borrowings under the KeyBank Credit Facility to purchase land in Ashburn, Virginia that is being held for use in the development of ACC5 and ACC6. Upon completion of the IPO, the Company acquired the equity interests in Safari, the entity that owns ACC4 (a data center that was fully completed on October 30, 2007) and land that is being held for use in the future development of data centers we refer to as NJ1 and ACC7.

For accounting purposes, Quill Ventures LLC, the entity that owns ACC3, was determined to be the accounting acquirer (the “Predecessor”) based on the guidance in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, Business Combinations, in the Safari transaction and the other data center properties – VA3, VA4, ACC2, and CH1—were determined to be the “Acquired Properties”. For accounting purposes, as the Predecessor is considered to be the acquiring entity, the assets and liabilities of the Predecessor are presented on a historical cost basis and the contribution of the interests of the Acquired Properties are recorded at their estimated fair value. Thus the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements cover only the Predecessor and the Acquired Properties. Operating results for the Acquired Properties are only reflected for the period August 7, 2007 to September 30, 2007.

The Predecessor and Acquired Properties include the following entities/data center properties:

Operating Properties	Date Formed	State of Organization
Rhino Interests LLC/ACC2	December 2, 2005	Delaware
Quill Ventures LLC/ACC3	September 21, 2005	Delaware
Lemur Ventures LLC/VA3	March 26, 2003	Delaware
Porpoise Ventures LLC/VA4	June 27, 2005	Delaware
Development Property	Date Formed	State of Organization
Tarantula Ventures LLC/CHI	February 7, 2007	Delaware
Land Held for Development	Date Formed	State of Organization
Fox Ventures LLC/ACC5 and ACC6	August 7, 2007	Delaware

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions

9

have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Form S-11.

These unaudited financial statements include the financial position and results of operations of our Predecessor through August 6, 2007 and reflect its acquisition of the Acquired Properties, effective August 7, 2007, at fair market value. Accordingly, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 include the results of operations of the Predecessor for all months in the reporting periods and the results of operations of the Acquired Properties from their date of acquisition, August 7, 2007. The financial position and operating results do not include the data center known as ACC4 nor do they include two pieces of land held for development in Piscataway, New Jersey (referred to as NJ1) and Ashburn, Virginia (referred to as ACC7) as these were not acquired until the IPO formation transactions on October 24, 2007. The unaudited financial statements also do not reflect the Company’s acquisition of property management and other services and thus the internalization of these services.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income-Producing Property

The Predecessor’s data center, ACC3, is recorded at cost, including the external direct costs of the acquisition. The acquisition costs of the Predecessor’s data center properties are allocated among land, buildings and improvements, and any personal property acquired based on estimated relative fair values at the time of acquisition. The Acquired Properties’ data centers (ACC2, VA3, VA4 and CH1) are recorded at their estimated fair value on the date of acquisition, August 7, 2007. All capital improvements for the income-producing properties that extend their useful life are capitalized to individual building components, including interest and real estate taxes incurred during the period of development, and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Interest is capitalized based upon applying the property’s weighted-average borrowing rate to the actual development costs expended up to specific borrowings and then applying the weighted average borrowing rate of debt of Safari to the residual actual development costs expended during the construction period. Interest is capitalized until the property has reached substantial completion and is ready for its intended use in accordance with SFAS No. 34, Capitalization of Interest Cost. Interest costs capitalized totaled $823,000 and $0 during the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively and $823,000 and $2,630,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

We allocated the purchase price of the Acquired Properties to the related physical assets and in-place leases based on their relative fair values, in accordance with SFAS No. 141. The fair values of acquired buildings are determined on an “as-if-vacant” basis considering a variety of factors, including the physical condition and quality of the buildings, estimated rental and absorption rates, estimated future cash flows, and valuation assumptions consistent with current market conditions. The “as-if-vacant” fair value is allocated to land, building, improvements, and any personal property based on replacement cost estimates and other relevant information.

The fair value of in-place leases consists of the following components as applicable—(1) the estimated cost to replace the leases, including foregone rents during the period of finding a new tenant, foregone recovery of tenant pass-through, tenant improvements, and other direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant (referred to as Tenant Origination Costs); (2) the estimated leasing commissions associated with obtaining a new tenant (referred to as Leasing Commissions); and (3) the above/below market cash flow of the leases, determined by comparing the projected cash flows of the leases in place to projected cash flows of comparable market-rate leases (referred to as Lease Intangibles). Tenant Origination Costs are included in buildings and improvements on the Company’s balance sheet and are amortized as depreciation expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the underlying leases. Leasing Commissions are classified as deferred costs and are amortized as amortization expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the underlying leases. Lease Intangible assets and liabilities are classified as lease contracts above and below market value, respectively, and amortized on a straight-line basis as decreases and increases, respectively, to rental revenue over the remaining term of the underlying leases. Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portions of the Tenant Origination Cost, Leasing Commissions, and Lease Intangibles, associated with that lease are written off to depreciation expense, amortization expense, or rental revenue, respectively. Depreciation on buildings is generally provided on a straight-line basis over 40 years from the date the buildings were placed in service. Building components are depreciated over the life of the respective improvement ranging from 20 to 40 years from the date the components were placed in service. Personal property is depreciated over three to seven years. Depreciation expense totaled $4,015,000 and $829,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively and $5,671,000 and $829,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

10

We record impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations or in development when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired, and the estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts. If circumstances indicating impairment are present, an impairment loss is recognized based on the excess of the carrying amount of the impaired asset over its fair value. Management assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its assets on a property-by-property basis. No impairment losses were recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, we classify a data center property as held-for-sale when it meets the necessary criteria, which include when we commit to and actively embark on a plan to sell the asset, the sale is expected to be completed within one year under terms usual and customary for such sales, and actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. Data center properties held-for-sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell. As of September 30, 2007 there were no data center properties classified as held-for-sale and discontinued operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all demand deposits, money market accounts, and repurchase agreements purchased with a maturity date of three months or less, at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Our account balances at one or more institutions periodically exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance coverage and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. We mitigate this risk by depositing a majority of our funds with major financial institutions. We have not experienced any losses and believe that the risk is not significant.

Deferred Costs

Financing costs, which represent fees and other costs incurred in obtaining debt, are amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective-interest method, over the term of the loan and are included in interest expense. On August 7, 2007, we paid off the ACC3 mortgage loan with borrowings under the KeyBank Credit Facility. This resulted in the write-off of the remaining unamortized deferred financing costs related to the ACC3 mortgage loan in the amount of $1,353,000, which was recorded as interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Amortization of the deferred financing costs included in interest expense totaled $440,000 and $238,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 and totaled $916,000 and $323,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Balances, net of accumulated amortization, at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 are as follows:

	September 30, 2007			December 31, 2006
Financing costs	$	8,325,000		$	2,901,000
Accumulated amortization		(373,000	)		(975,000	)
Financing costs, net	$	7,952,000		$	1,926,000

Leasing costs, which are either external fees and costs incurred in the successful negotiations of leases or the estimated leasing commissions resulting from the allocation of the purchase price of the Acquired Properties under SFAS No. 141, are deferred and amortized over the terms of the related leases on a straight-line basis. If an applicable lease terminates prior to the expiration of its initial term, the carrying amount of the costs are written off to amortization expense. On August 7, 2007, in connection with the acquisition of the Acquired Properties, we recorded $10,576,000 of leasing costs. Amortization expense totaled $534,000 and $262,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Amortization expense totaled $1,058,000 and $262,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Balances, net of accumulated amortization, at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 are as follows:

	September 30, 2007			December 31, 2006
Leasing costs	$	21,742,000		$	11,166,000
Accumulated amortization		(1,582,000	)		(524,000	)
Leasing costs, net	$	20,160,000		$	10,642,000

11

Inventory

We maintain fuel inventory for our generators, which is recorded at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out basis) or market. At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the fuel inventory was $786,000 and $105,000, respectively, and is included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Debt Obligations

We enter into various debt agreements whose terms require certain additional costs and fees to be paid upon retirement of the debt. These additional costs and fees are accrued using the effective interest method and are recorded in interest expense with the related liability included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Interest Rate Derivative Instruments

We account for derivative activities in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which requires all derivative instruments to be carried at fair value as either assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. For those derivative instruments that are designated, and qualify, as hedging instruments, we designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge. For derivatives that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting, changes in fair value are immediately recognized in earnings. For those derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedge instruments is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Any ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings.

Advance Rents

Advance rents, typically prepayment of the following month’s rent, consist of payments received from tenants prior to the time they are earned and are recognized as revenue in subsequent periods when earned.

Rental Income

We, as a lessor, have retained substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership and account for our leases as operating leases. For lease agreements that provide for scheduled rent increases, rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases. The amount of the straight-line rent receivable on the consolidated balance sheets included in rents and other receivables, net was $7,807,000 and $4,185,000 as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, which commences when control of the space and the critical power have been provided to the tenant. Lease Intangible assets and liabilities that have resulted from above market and below market leases that were acquired, are amortized on a straight-line basis as decreases and increases, respectively, to rental revenue over the remaining term of the underlying leases. On August 7, 2007 in connection with the acquisition of the Acquired Properties we recorded a Lease Intangible asset of $18,900,000 for above market lease contracts and an intangible Lease Liability of $38,200,000 for below market lease contracts. As of September 30, 2007 the balance of unamortized Lease Intangible assets for above market contracts was $18,524,000 and the balance of unamortized Lease Intangible liabilities for below market contracts was $36,907,000. Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of Lease Intangibles associated with that lease are written off to rental revenue.

We record a provision for losses on accounts receivable equal to the estimated uncollectible accounts. The estimate is based on management’s historical experience and a review of the current status of our receivables. We will also establish, as necessary, an appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts for receivables arising from the straight-lining of rents. This receivable arises from revenue recognized in excess of amounts currently due under the lease. As of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, no allowance was considered necessary.

Tenant leases generally contain provisions under which the tenants reimburse us for a portion of the property’s operating expenses and real estate taxes incurred by us. The reimbursements are included in rental income in the consolidated statements of operations in the period the applicable expenditures are incurred.

Real Estate Sales

In accordance with SFAS No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate, we recognize sales at closing when sufficient down payments have been obtained, possession and other attributes of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, and there is no significant continuing involvement.

12

Income Taxes

We are a partnership for income tax purposes, therefore are not subject to U.S. federal income tax on our income. Results of operations are included proportionately in the federal income tax returns of the individual members; therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (FIN 48), to create a single model to address accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Our adoption of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007 did not have an effect on our financial position and results of operations.

2. Acquisitions

On August 7, 2007, the Predecessor acquired the following income producing properties: ACC2, VA3 and VA4, and a property under development, CH1. The Company plans to develop the CH1 property in two phases and expects to incur total development costs of approximately $365,000,000, excluding capitalized interest. Completion of phase 1 is expected in 2008.

The allocation of the purchase price of the Acquired Properties to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in accordance with SFAS No. 141 was as follows:

Income producing property:
Land	$	19,300,000
Buildings and improvements		470,556,000
Net income producing property		489,856,000
Construction in progress and land held for development		86,588,000
Net real estate		576,444,000
Cash and cash equivalents		17,507,000
Lease contracts above market value		18,900,000
Deferred costs, net		10,576,000
Prepaid expenses and other assets		836,000
Assets acquired at fair value		624,263,000
Mortgages and notes payable		(24,814,000	)
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		(42,109,000	)
Lease contracts below market value		(38,200,000	)
Advance rents		(4,945,000	)
Due to related parties		(10,902,000	)
Tenant security deposits		(256,000	)

Less: Cash paid for Acquired Properties		(239,848,000	)
Step-up in basis from acquisition of the Acquired Properties	$	263,189,000

13

If the acquisition of the Acquired Properties had occurred on January 1, 2006 then the unaudited results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 on a pro forma basis would have been as follows:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2007			2006
Revenue	$	68,106,000		$	48,022,000
Expenses		44,938,000			33,941,000
Operating income		23,168,000			14,081,000
Net loss		(1,215,000	)		(10,030,000	)

The unaudited pro forma amounts are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of future consolidated results of operations. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated results of operations include the pro forma impact of: (i) the adjustment of revenue for straight-line revenue and amortization of above market and below market lease contracts, (ii) the adjustment of depreciation and amortization expense for the step up of the real estate assets’ value and the adjustment to lease commissions under SFAS No. 141 and (iii) the adjustment of interest expense for the refinancing of the Acquired Properties’ mortgage loans with borrowings under the KeyBank Credit Facility.

4. Leases

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, two tenants accounted for approximately 94% and 97%, respectively, of the total consolidated data center rental income. Each tenant accounted for $7,436,000 and $314,000 of rents and other receivables, respectively, all of which are straight-line rent receivables, and $4,496,000 and $2,228,000 of advance rents as of September 30, 2007. The Company does not hold security deposits from these tenants. All tenants operate within the technology industry and, as such, their viability is subject to market fluctuations in that industry.

5. Debt

On August 7, 2007, Safari entered into a $200,000,000 secured term loan and a $275,000,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (together the “KeyBank Credit Facility”), of which a total of $433,185,000 was outstanding as of September 30, 2007. This revolver balance was repaid at the time of the IPO on October 24, 2007. As of November 26, 2007, the revolver balance was $10,000,000.

Upon consent of the lender, the revolving facility may be increased by up to $200,000,000 to a total borrowing capacity of $475,000,000 million depending on certain factors, including the value of, and debt service on, the properties included in our borrowing base. In order to take advantage of this feature, we anticipate that we would need to add properties to the borrowing base. Both loans bore interest at the rate of LIBOR (5.12375% at September 30, 2007) plus 2.25% payable monthly on an interest-only basis. The revolving facility matures on August 7, 2010, but includes an option whereby we may elect, once, to extend the maturity date by 12 months. The term loan is an interest only loan with the full principal amount due at maturity on August 7, 2011, with no option to extend.

The interest rate associated with the revolving facility decreased following the IPO to a range between LIBOR plus 1.25% and LIBOR plus 1.70%, depending on our applicable leverage ratio, and the interest rate on our term loan decreased to LIBOR plus 1.50%. Our four stabilized operating properties comprise our current borrowing base. In addition, we may in the future choose to add some or all of the other properties that we acquired upon the completion of the IPO or other properties that we may acquire in the future to the borrowing base in order to, among other things, increase the amount that we may borrow under the revolving facility. Once added to the borrowing base, properties may only be removed with the approval of our lenders. In addition, the revolving facility and term loan contain customary covenants. As of September 30, 2007, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants.

As part of the KeyBank refinancing, Safari repaid the mortgage loan on ACC3 totaling $125,205,000. In addition, Safari also paid an exit fee on this loan totaling $1,267,000 resulting in a charge to interest expense of $661,000. Also, we wrote off the unamortized deferred financing costs related to the ACC3 mortgage loan which resulted in a charge to interest expense of $1,353,000.

On February 28, 2007, Tarantula entered into a $30,144,000 promissory note with Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. relating to the financing of CH1 of which $25,678,000 was outstanding at September 30, 2007. The note bears interest at a variable interest rate (which adjusts daily) equal to the sum of the one-month LIBOR plus 3.5% (8.62375% at September 30, 2007), provided that in no event will the variable interest rate be less than 8.5% per annum. Beginning March 1, 2007, monthly payments of interest only are due under the terms of the note. An exit fee equal to $301,000 (1.0% of the note amount) is due when the loan is paid in full. The note matures on March 1, 2008, and can be extended for an additional 12 months subject to certain conditions and payment of an extension fee equal to $151,000 (0.5% of the note amount). The note is collateralized by the CH1 assets with an aggregate net book value of $146,347,000 at September 30, 2007.

At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, Safari’s debt was as follows:

	September 30, 2007		December 31, 2006
KeyBank revolving credit facility, variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.25% (7.37375% at September 30, 2007), matures August 2010	$	233,185,000	$	—
KeyBank term loan, variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.25% (7.37375% at September 30, 2007), matures August 2011		200,000,000		—
CH1, variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.5% (8.62375% at September 30, 2007), matures March 2008		25,678,000		—
ACC3, variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.5% scheduled maturity of January 2009 (repaid in full with a portion of the net proceeds from the KeyBank Credit Facility)		—		112,490,000
	$	458,863,000	$	112,490,000

6. Derivative Instruments

On August 15, 2007 Safari entered into a $200,000,000 interest rate swap agreement with KeyBank National Association to

15

manage the interest rate risk associated with a portion of the KeyBank Credit Facility to be effective August 17, 2007. This swap agreement effectively fixes the interest rate on $200,000,000 of the KeyBank Credit Facility at 4.997% plus the credit spread of 1.5%. We have designated this agreement as a hedge for accounting purposes. Therefore, the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap has been recorded in other comprehensive income and reclassified into interest expense as the hedged forecasted interest payments are recognized. Any ineffective portion of the hedging relationship will be recorded directly to earnings.

As of September 30, 2007, the cumulative reduction in fair value of the interest rate swap of $2,718,000 was recognized as a liability and deferred in members’ equity in the accompany consolidated balance sheet and no amounts were recognized in earnings as hedge ineffectiveness.

7. Related Party Transactions

Prior to the closing of the IPO on October 24, 2007, DFD Technical Services LLC (DFTS), an entity in which three of the members of Safari own an interest, was responsible for the management of the properties. Management fees incurred with DFTS were generally based on 5% of gross receipts collected for the properties and totaled $648,000 and $246,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively and $1,187,000 and $246,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, $532,000 and $497,000, respectively, of such fees were payable.

Prior to the closing of the IPO on October 24, 2007, DuPont Fabros Development LLC (DFD), an entity in which two of the members of Safari own an interest, earned an asset management fee. Asset management fees, which are included in management fees in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, incurred with DFD totaled $177,000 and $60,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively and totaled $334,000 and $60,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, $133,000 and $119,000, respectively, of such fees were payable.

Bookkeeping fees incurred with DFD totaled $27,000 and $9,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and totaled $47,000 and $9,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

In addition, DFD was reimbursed for salaries and overhead expenses related to operation management totaling $302,000 and $80,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively and $529,000 and $80,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. These fees are included in property operating costs in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Prior to the closing of the IPO on October 24, 2007, DFD was paid leasing commissions, which were capitalized and amortized over the term of the lease. Leasing commissions were determined based on approximately 5% of the total rental revenue of the executed lease. During the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, no leasing commissions were incurred. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, $0 and $4,520,000, respectively was incurred. At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, $0 and $2,260,000, respectively, of leasing commissions were payable.

Prior to the closing of the IPO on October 24, 2007, DFD was paid development and construction management fees, which were capitalized, for their services in the development of properties and build-out of the infrastructure. During the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, $0 and $9,713,000, respectively, was incurred. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, $0 and $11,735,000, respectively was incurred. At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, $0 and $337,000, respectively, of such fees were payable.

In addition, due to related parties includes amounts due to DFD and affiliated entities of $551,000 and $1,322,000 at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, for advances, salaries and overhead, and operating cost reimbursements.

Related party payables are due on demand without interest.

At December 31, 2005, $13,211,000 was due from DFD to ACC3, which related to proceeds from a loan refinancing. The amount was repaid in January 2006 without interest.

8. Statements of Cash Flows—Supplemental Disclosures

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, $30,000 and $377,000, respectively, of amortization of loan fees were capitalized to real estate.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, accounts payable and accrued expenses in the amount of $29,177,000 and $1,368,000 respectively, were capitalized to real estate.

16

During nine months ended September 30, 2007 we recorded a loss to other comprehensive loss which is reflected in members’ equity on the consolidated balance sheets, to adjust our interest rate swap to its fair value.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

On November 28, 2007, we entered into a contract with Holder Construction Group, LLC to construct Phase 1 of CH1 for an amount not to exceed $167,000,000.

As of November 28, 2007, we have entered into commitments via our construction vendor to purchase $50,028,000 of equipment and labor related to NJ1 including rotary UPS, generators, structural precast work, electrical work and mechanical work. In addition, we have entered into commitments via our construction vendor to purchase $21,819,000 of equipment and labor related to SC1 including rotary UPS, generators and mechanical work. Also, we have entered into commitments via our construction vendor to purchase $32,283,000 of equipment and labor related to ACC5 including rotary UPS, generators, structural precast work, electrical work and mechanical work.

In March 2007, we were cited by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VDEQ) compliance office regarding the emissions from the ACC2 diesel generators exceeding short-term emission limits. We commenced a study to develop a remediation plan and currently estimate future capital expenditures of approximately $650,000 to reduce emissions to be in conformance with state limits, which was accrued during the three months ended March 31, 2007. In addition, VDEQ had preliminarily indicated that we could be subject to penalties up to $200,000, but that the penalties may be reduced if deemed that we promptly remediated the violation. We accrued $100,000 as our best estimate of the penalty in the three months ended March 31, 2007. In September 2007, VDEQ issued a consent order fining us $169,000 of which the remaining $69,000 was accrued during the three months ended June 30, 2007.

On October 19, 2007, we received a notice of violation from the VDEQ, regarding certain diesel generators at VA4. The notice asserts that the operation of our generators has not been in conformity with our air permit and that certain equipment added to the generators to reduce emissions has not been constructed, tested, and maintained in compliance with applicable regulations. Our Executive Chairman, Lammot J. du Pont, and our President and Chief Executive Officer, Hossein Fateh, have agreed to indemnify us against any direct or indirect claims, liabilities, damages and penalties, including without limitation costs resulting from changes to third party contracts, which may at any time arise, be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against us during the period ended October 24, 2010 as a result of the alleged violations cited in the October 19, 2007 notice from VDEQ and have set aside, as partial collateral for these obligations, certain funds accruing for the account of the former members of the entity that contributed VA4 to our Company. At this time, we do not know what corrective actions, if any, VDEQ may require and the estimated range of penalties is $150,000 to $750,000. Our best estimate of the penalty is $200,000 which we have accrued as a liability and a receivable as of September 30, 2007. However , we cannot assure you of the amount of any penalties or expenses we may incur in connection with this notice or that this indemnification agreement will be sufficient to protect us in all instances.

We are involved from time to time in other various legal proceedings, lawsuits, examinations by various tax authorities, and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that the resolution of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations.

10. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

SFAS No. 107, Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments. Fair value estimates are subjective in nature and are dependent on a number of important assumptions, including estimates of future cash flows, risks, discount rates, and relevant comparable market information associated with each financial instrument. The use of different market assumptions and estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the reported estimated fair value amounts. Accordingly, the amounts are not necessarily indicative of the amounts we would realize in a current market exchange.

The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating the fair value amounts and disclosures for financial instruments as of September 30, 2007:

• Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents reported in the balance sheet approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments (i.e., less than 90 days).

• Rents and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to/from related parties, and advance rents: The carrying amount of these assets and liabilities reported in the balance sheet approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these amounts.

• Debt: Borrowings are floating rate instruments and management believes that for similar financial instruments with comparable credit risks, the stated interest rates as of September 30, 2007 (floating rates at spreads over a market rate index) approximate market rates. Accordingly, the carrying value is believed to approximate fair value.

11. Subsequent Events

We completed our initial public offering of our common shares (the “IPO”) on October 24, 2007. The IPO resulted in the sale of 35,075,000 common shares at a price per share of $21.00, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $736,575,000. The proceeds to the Company, net of underwriters’ discounts, commissions and financial advisory fees but prior to other offering costs, were $685,015,000. As part of the IPO we issued 448,126 shares of common stock to directors, employees and consultants on October 18, 2007. Of this amount, 70,293 shares were returned to the company to pay for employee taxes. The shares either vested on October 18, 2007 or will vest in January 2008 and July 2008. For the shares that vested on October 18, 2007 we will record a one-time expense of $7,909,000 in the fourth quarter of 2007 and for the restricted shares we will record an expense of approximately $750,000 in the fourth quarter of 2007. Also, on October 18, 2007 certain employees and consultants received 290,123 LTIP units in DuPont Fabros Technology, L.P., the operating partnership of DuPont Fabros Technology, Inc. These LTIP units were fully vested on October 18, 2007 and we will record a one-time expense of $5,605,000 in the fourth quarter of 2007.

As part of the IPO formation transactions on October 24, 2007, we also acquired for a total of approximately $484,000,000 a data center known as ACC4, land held for the development of a data center in Ashburn, Virginia (ACC7), land held for development of a data center in Piscataway, New Jersey (NJ1), a contract to acquire land in Santa Clara, California and property management, development, leasing, asset management and technical services agreements and arrangements for all of our properties from entities affiliated with our sponsors, Lammot J. du Pont, the Executive Chairman of our board of directors, and Hossein Fateh, our President and Chief Executive Officer. After the IPO, we will be self-managed, and therefore, the property management, development, leasing, asset management and technical services agreements and arrangements will not generate any additional cash flow on a consolidated basis. Therefore, these contracts do not qualify to be recorded as intangible assets, and the consideration paid by the Company represents a settlement of these arrangements. Accordingly, the consideration paid for those contracts of approximately $176,000,000 will be reflected as a one-time expense in the fourth quarter of 2007.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this report, or which management may make orally or in writing from time to time, are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. When used, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “result” and similar expressions, which do not relate solely to historical matters, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance, which may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected.

Those risks continue to be relevant to our performance and financial condition. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on our company’s business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.

Overview

DuPont Fabros Technology, Inc. (“we”, “us” or the “Company”) was formed on March 2, 2007 and is headquartered in Washington, D.C. We are a leading owner, developer, operator and manager of wholesale data centers. Our data centers are highly specialized, secure facilities used by our tenants—primarily national and international technology companies, including Microsoft, Yahoo! and Google—to house, power and cool the computer servers that support many of their most critical business processes. We lease the raised square footage and available power of each of our facilities to our tenants under long-term triple-net leases, which contain annual rental increases. The phrase “wholesale data center,” or “wholesale infrastructure,” refers to specialized real estate assets consisting of large-scale data center facilities provided to tenants under long-term leases.

We completed our initial public offering of our common shares (the “IPO”) on October 24, 2007. The IPO resulted in the sale of 35,075,000 common shares at a price per share of $21.00, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $736.6 million. The proceeds to the Company, net of underwriters’ discounts, commissions, financial advisory fees and other offering costs, were $678.0 million.

Prior to August 7, 2007, each of our initial properties, or data centers, was directly owned by a single-property entity. To facilitate the closing of a credit facility with KeyBank National Association (the “KeyBank Credit Facility”) on August 7, 2007 and in contemplation of the IPO, we combined the entities holding interests in several of our operating and development properties—VA3, VA4, ACC2, ACC3 and CH1—into one holding company, Safari Ventures LLC (“Safari”), in order for those properties to serve as collateral for the KeyBank Credit Facility. Following the closing of the KeyBank Credit Facility, each of the former members of the property-holding entities held a direct or indirect equity interest in Safari. Safari made borrowings under the KeyBank Credit Facility to purchase land in Ashburn, Virginia that is being held for use in the development of ACC5 and ACC6. Upon completion of the IPO, the Company acquired the equity interests in Safari, the entity that owns ACC4 (a data center that was fully completed on October 30, 2007) and land that is being held for use in the future development of data centers we refer to as NJ1 and ACC7.

For accounting purposes, Quill Ventures LLC, the entity that owns ACC3, was determined to be the accounting acquirer (the “Predecessor”) based on the guidance in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, Business Combinations, in the Safari transaction and the other data center properties – VA3, VA4, ACC2, and CH1 were the “Acquired Properties”. For accounting purposes, the Predecessor is considered to be the acquiring entity and is presented on a historical cost basis and the contribution of the interests of the Acquired Properties has been recorded at their estimated fair value. Thus the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements cover only the Predecessor and the Acquired Properties. Operating results for the Acquired Properties are only reflected for the period August 7, 2007 to September 30, 2007.

The Predecessor and Acquired Properties include the following entities/data center properties:

Operating Property	Date Formed	State of Organization
Rhino Interests LLC/ACC2	December 2, 2005	Delaware
Quill Ventures LLC/ACC3	September 21, 2005	Delaware
Lemur Ventures LLC/VA3	March 26, 2003	Delaware
Porpoise Ventures LLC/VA4	June 27, 2005	Delaware
Development Property	Date Formed	State of Organization
Tarantula Ventures LLC/CHI	February 7, 2007	Delaware
Land Held for Development	Date Formed	State of Organization
Fox Ventures LLC/ACC5 and ACC6	August 7, 2007	Delaware

In addition to the properties described above, we also acquired for approximately $484 million as part of the IPO formation transactions on October 24, 2007, a data center known as ACC4, land held for the development of a data center in Ashburn, Virginia (ACC7), land held for development of a data center in Piscataway, New Jersey (NJ1), a contract to acquire land in Santa Clara, California and property management, development, leasing, asset management and technical services agreements and arrangements for all of our properties from entities affiliated with our sponsors, Lammot J. du Pont, the Executive Chairman of our board of directors, and Hossein Fateh, our President and Chief Executive Officer. By combining our properties with these core operating functions, we believe we will be well positioned as a fully-integrated wholesale data center provider, capable of developing, leasing, operating and managing our growing portfolio.

We derive substantially all of our revenue from rents received from tenants under existing leases at each of our initial operating properties. We believe our data centers are engineered to the highest specifications commercially available and provide sufficient power to meet the needs of the world’s largest technology companies. Critical load is that portion of each facility’s total power capacity that is made available for the exclusive use by our tenants to operate their computer servers. Because we believe that critical load is the primary factor that tenants evaluate in choosing a data center, we establish our rents based on both the amount of power that we make available to our tenants and the amount of raised square footage that our tenants are occupying. The relationship between raised square footage and critical load can vary significantly from one facility to the next. For example, a data center that is smaller in terms of raised square footage may contain infrastructure that provides its tenants with critical load that exceeds the power capacity of a data center with a significantly larger footprint.

With respect to operating expenses, we have negotiated expense pass-through provisions in each of our leases under which our tenants are required to pay for most of our operating expenses. In particular, our tenants are required to pay all of their direct operating expenses, including direct electric, as well as their pro rata share of indirect operating expenses, including real estate taxes and insurance. As we complete the build-out of our development properties, we intend to continue to structure our future leases to contain expense pass-through provisions, which are also referred to as triple net leases.

In the future, we intend to continue our focus on the performance of our initial portfolio of operating properties, as well as our pursuit of growth through the build out and leasing up of our portfolio of development properties. Although each of our initial operating properties is located in Northern Virginia, as we complete the expected build out of our development properties, including the development of planned data centers in suburban Chicago, Illinois, Piscataway, New Jersey and Santa Clara, California, our portfolio of data centers will become more geographically diverse in the future.

Historically, we have paid property management and asset management fees to affiliates of our sponsors. Although, under the terms of our leases, we charge our tenants property management fees as additional rent, we do not pass through the asset management fees to our tenants. In connection with the formation transactions, our sponsors are contributing these management agreements to us and, as a result, we will not be required to pay these management fees following the completion of this offering. We will, however, continue to charge property management fees to our tenants in the future.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have provided a summary of our significant accounting policies in Note 1 to our financial statements included elsewhere in this 10-Q. The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our actual results may differ from these estimates. We describe below those accounting policies that require material subjective or complex judgments and that have the most significant impact on our financial condition and results of operations. Our management evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis, based upon information currently available and on various assumptions management believes are reasonable as of the date hereof.

Revenue Recognition

Rental income is recognized using the straight-line method over the terms of the tenant leases. Deferred rents included in our balance sheets represent the aggregate excess of rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual rental payments that will be recognized under the remaining terms of the leases. Our leases generally contain provisions under which the tenants reimburse us for a portion of property operating expenses incurred by us. Such reimbursements are recognized in the period that the expenses are incurred. As discussed below, we recognize amortization of the value of acquired above or below market tenant leases as a reduction of rental income in the case of above market leases or an increase to rental revenue in the case of below market leases.

We must make subjective estimates as to when our revenue is earned and the collectibility of our accounts receivable related to minimum rent, deferred rent, expense reimbursements, and other income. We specifically analyze accounts receivable and historical bad debts, tenant concentrations, tenant creditworthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance

20

for bad debts. These estimates have a direct impact on our net income because a higher bad debt allowance would result in lower net income, and recognizing rental revenue as earned in one period versus another would result in higher or lower net income for a particular period.

Investments in Real Estate

Acquisition of real estate. The price that we pay to acquire a property is impacted by many factors including the location, the condition of the property and improvements, and numerous other factors, including the occupancy of the building, the existence of above and below market tenant leases, the creditworthiness of the tenants, and favorable or unfavorable financing.

Accordingly, we are required to make subjective assessments to allocate the purchase price paid to acquire investments in real estate among the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on our estimate of their fair values in accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. This includes determining the value of the property and improvements, land, in-place tenant leases, the value (or negative value) of above (or below) market leases and any debt assumed from the seller or loans made by the seller to us. Each of these estimates requires judgment and some of the estimates involve complex calculations.

These allocation assessments have a direct impact on our results of operations. For example, if we were to allocate more value to land, there would be no depreciation with respect to such amount. If we were to allocate more value to the property as opposed to allocating to the value of tenant leases, this amount would be recognized as an expense over a much longer period of time. This potential effect occurs because the amounts allocated to property are depreciated over the estimated lives of the property whereas amounts allocated to tenant leases are amortized over the terms of the leases. Additionally, the amortization of value (or negative value) assigned to above (or below) market rate leases is recorded as an adjustment to rental revenue as compared to amortization of the value of in-place leases and tenant relationships, which is included in depreciation and amortization in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Capitalization of costs. We capitalize pre-acquisition costs related to probable property acquisitions. We also capitalize direct and indirect costs related to construction and development, including property taxes, insurance and financing costs relating to properties under development. Costs previously capitalized related to any potential property acquisitions no longer considered probable are written off, which may have a material adverse effect on our net income. The selection of costs to capitalize and the determination of whether an acquisition is probable is subjective and depends on many assumptions including the timing of potential acquisitions and the probability that future acquisitions occur. Variations in these assumptions would yield different amounts of capitalized costs in the periods presented. All capital improvements for the income producing properties that extend the property’s useful life are capitalized.

Useful lives of assets. We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our properties for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation to record on an annual basis with respect to our investments in real estate. These assessments have a direct impact on our net income because if we were to shorten the expected useful lives of our investments in real estate we would depreciate such investments over fewer years, resulting in more depreciation expense and lower net income on an annual basis.

Asset impairment evaluation. We review the carrying value of our properties when circumstances, such as adverse market conditions and loss of tenants, indicate potential impairment may exist. We base our review on an estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows (excluding interest charges) expected to result from the real estate investment’s use and eventual disposition. We consider factors such as future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If our evaluation indicates that we may be unable to recover the carrying value of a real estate investment, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property. These losses have a direct impact on our net income because recording an impairment loss results in an immediate negative adjustment to net income. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results in future periods.

Since cash flows from properties considered to be long-lived assets to be held and used are considered on an undiscounted basis to determine whether an asset has been impaired, our strategy of holding properties over the long-term directly decreases the likelihood of recording an impairment loss. If our strategy changes or market conditions otherwise dictate an earlier sale date, an impairment loss may be recognized and such loss could be material. If we determine that impairment has occurred, the affected assets must be reduced to their fair value. No such impairment losses have been recognized to date. We estimate the fair value of rental properties utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis that includes projections of future revenues, expenses and capital improvement costs, similar to the income approach that is commonly utilized by appraisers.

Results of Operations

        Our Predecessor consists of one operating property, ACC3, which we brought into service as a wholesale data center in June 2006. Our Acquired Properties consist of our three other properties that were in service as of September 30, 2007, ACC2, VA3 and VA4 and a property that was under development as of September 30, 2007, CH1. The financial statements include the financial position and results of operations of our Predecessor through August 6, 2007 and reflect the acquisition of the Acquired Properties,

21

effective August 7, 2007, at fair market value. Accordingly, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 include the results of operations of the Predecessor for all months in the reporting periods and the results of operations of the Acquired Properties from their date of acquisition, August 7, 2007. The financial position and operating results do not include the data center known as ACC4 nor do they include two pieces of land held for development, ACC7 and NJ1, as these were not acquired until the IPO formation transactions on October 24, 2007. Since ACC3 was not placed in service until June 2006 and we acquired the Acquired Properties on August 7, 2007, no meaningful comparison to the prior year periods can be made.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2006

Operating Revenue. Operating revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $16.9 million which is an increase of $12.0 million or 245% over the prior period revenue of $4.9 million. The increase is due to the acquisition of ACC2, VA3 and VA4 on August 7, 2007.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2007 were $11.0 million which is an increase of $8.7 million or 378% over the prior period operating expenses of $2.3 million. The increase is due to the acquisition of ACC2, VA3 and VA4 on August 7, 2007. Of the total increase, $4.4 million was attributable to increased property operating costs, $3.5 million was attributable to increased depreciation and amortization expense and $0.5 million was attributable to an increase in our management fees.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $8.1 million which is an increase of $5.4 million or 200% over the prior period interest expense of $2.7 million. The increase is due to entering into the KeyBank Refinancing to refinance the debt of the Acquired Properties and our Predecessor. Also, included in interest expense in the three months ended September 30, 2007 is the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs of $1.4 million and the payment of unaccrued exit fees of $0.7 million due to the early payoff of the ACC3 mortgage loan as a result of the KeyBank Refinancing.

Net Loss. Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $2.1 million compared to $0.1 million in the prior period. The increase is due to the one-time charges discussed above of $2.1 million related to the early payoff of the ACC3 mortgage loan.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

Operating Revenue. Operating revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $29.4 million which is an increase of $24.5 million or 500% over the prior period revenue of $4.9 million. The increase is due to the acquisition of ACC2, VA3 and VA4 on August 7, 2007 and the placement of ACC3 into service in June 2006.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were $16.8 million which is an increase of $14.3 million or 572% over the prior period operating expenses of $2.5 million. The increase is due to the acquisition of ACC2, VA3 and VA4 on August 7, 2007 and the placement of ACC3 into service in June 2006. Of the total increase, $7.0 million was attributable to increased property operating costs, $5.6 million was attributable to increased depreciation and amortization expense, $1.2 million was attributable to an increase in our management fees and $0.3 million was attributable to an increase in real estate taxes.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $13.9 million which is an increase of $10.5 million or 309% over the prior period interest expense of $3.4 million. The increase is due to the placement of ACC3 into service in June 2006 and the entering into the KeyBank Refinancing to refinance the debt of the Acquired Properties and the Predecessor. Also, included in interest expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 is the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs of $1.4 million and the payment of unaccrued exit fees of $0.7 million due to the early payoff of the ACC3 mortgage loan as a result of the KeyBank Refinancing.

Net Income (Loss). Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 was $1.0 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We intend to elect to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ending December 31, 2007. As a REIT we will be required to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our stockholders on an annualized basis. Therefore, as a general matter, it is unlikely that we will have any substantial cash balances that could be used to meet our liquidity needs. Instead, we will need to meet these needs from cash generated from operations and external sources of capital. In addition, our liquidity may be negatively impacted by unanticipated increases in project development cost (including the cost of labor and materials and construction delays), and rising interest rates.

KeyBank Credit Facility

On August 7, 2007, we entered into a $275.0 million revolving credit facility and a $200.0 million term loan (together the “KeyBank Credit Facility”), both of which are arranged by KeyBank National Association and each of which is secured by VA3,

22

VA4, ACC2 and ACC3. As of September 30, 2007, there was $200.0 million outstanding on the term loan and $233.2 million outstanding on our revolving facility, which has a maximum capacity of $275.0 million. This revolver balance was repaid at the time of the IPO on October 24, 2007. As of November 26, 2007, the revolver balance was $10.0 million. The terms of the revolving facility include an accordion feature, which would enable us to increase the amount of the revolving facility by up to $200.0 million to a total borrowing capacity of $475.0 million depending on certain factors, including the value of and debt service on the properties included in our borrowing base, the possibility that we may need to add properties to the borrowing base and the agreement of participating lenders to fund the increased amount. The revolving facility matures on August 7, 2010, but includes an option whereby we may elect, once, to extend the maturity date by 12 months. The term loan is an interest only loan with the full principal amount due on maturity at August 7, 2011, with no option to extend.

As of September 30, 2007, the interest rate on our term loan was LIBOR (5.12375% at September 30, 2007) plus 2.25% and as of October 24, 2007, the interest rate on our term loan was lowered to LIBOR plus 1.50%, which we have effectively fixed at 6.497% through the use of an interest rate swap. The interest rate associated with the revolving facility was LIBOR plus 2.25% and post-IPO was lowered to LIBOR plus 1.25%. Future interest rates on the revolving facility will depend on our applicable leverage ratio, which is defined by our credit agreement as the ratio of our total consolidated indebtedness to our gross asset value, as set forth in the following schedule:

Applicable Leverage Ratio	Applicable Interest Rate
Less than 40%	LIBOR plus 1.25%
Greater than or equal to 40% but less than 50%	LIBOR plus 1.40%
Greater than or equal to 50% but less than 60%	LIBOR plus 1.60%
Greater than or equal to 60%	LIBOR plus 1.70%

Our four stabilized properties comprise our current borrowing base. In the future, we may add additional properties to our borrowing base, which would subject those properties to additional restrictions. Also, any equity interest that we may hold in any of our properties, whether or not included in our borrowing base, will provide additional collateral with respect to our term loan and revolving facility.

The credit agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants customarily found in facilities of this type, including limits on our ability to engage in merger and other similar transactions, as well as requirements that we comply with the following covenants on a consolidated basis: (i) consolidated total debt shall not exceed 65% of our asset value, (ii) debt service coverage shall not be less than 1.35 to 1.0, (iii) total leverage shall not exceed 65% of the appraised value of the properties, (iv) adjusted consolidated EBITDA to consolidated fixed charges shall not be less than 1.45 to 1.0, (v) the consolidated net worth shall not be less than 85% of tangible net worth plus the sum of (a) 75% of the net proceeds of the Offering and (b) the value of interests in the Company issued upon the contribution of assets to the Company and (vi) unhedged variable rate debt of the company shall not exceed 35% of the Company’s asset value. Upon completion of the IPO, we assumed this credit agreement and became subject to the covenants in accordance with the credit agreement. As of September 30, 2007, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants.

On August 15, 2007 we entered into a $200.0 million interest rate swap with KeyBank National Association to manage the interest rate risk associated with a portion of the KeyBank Debt to be effective August 17, 2007. This swap agreement effectively fixes the interest rate on $200.0 million of the KeyBank Debt at 4.997% plus the applicable credit spread, which on October 24, 2007 was fixed at 1.50%. We have designated this agreement as a hedge for accounting purposes. As of September 30, 2007, the cumulative reduction in the fair value of the interest rate swap of $2.7 million was recognized as a liability and recorded as an other comprehensive loss in members’ equity and no amounts were recognized in earnings as hedge ineffectiveness.

CH1 Mortgage

We have a $30.1 million mortgage loan to which CH1 is currently pledged as collateral. As of September 30, 2007, amounts outstanding under this loan totaled $25.7 million. This loan bears interest at LIBOR (5.12375% at September 30, 2007) plus 3.5% with a floor of 8.5% and currently requires interest-only payments. This loan matures on March 1, 2008, with a one-time option to extend the maturity for a period of 12 months subject to customary conditions. Prepayment is permitted subject to payment of certain breakage costs incurred by the lender. At the earlier of maturity or prepayment, we must pay outstanding principal, accrued unpaid interest and an exit fee of $301,000. We intend to refinance this mortgage loan upon maturity, including any exercise of our option to extend the maturity of this loan. However, we have not entered into any binding agreements to do so and cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain financing at acceptable rates or at all.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2007, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Discussion of Cash Flows

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $5.7 million to $0.7 million, compared to cash used of $5.0 million for the prior period. The increase was primarily the result of cash from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 being reduced by the payment of $4.4 million of leasing commissions related to the lease up of ACC3 and an increase in cash from operations as ACC3 was placed in service in June 2006 and we acquired the Acquired Properties on August 7, 2007.

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $204.9 million to $267.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $62.1 million for the prior period. Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 consisted of the use of $222.3 million to acquire the Acquired Properties, $32.7 million related to the development of CH1 and projects at ACC2 and $11.9 million for the acquisition of land held for the future development of ACC5 and ACC6. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, cash used in investing activities primarily consisted of the use of $75.3 million for the development of ACC3, which was placed in service in June 2006, partially offset by the repayment of $13.2 million from affiliates.

Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $214.0 million to $284.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $70.1 million for the prior period. Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 reflects borrowings under the KeyBank Debt of $433.2 million and borrowings by ACC3 and CH1 of $13.6 million. A portion of the proceeds from the KeyBank Debt was partially used to pay off the mortgage loan at ACC3 of $125.2 million. In connection with obtaining the KeyBank Debt we expended $8.3 million of various fees and costs. Also, we repaid $14.2 million of borrowings from affiliates, prior to the formation of Safari distributed $9.8 million to members of ACC3 and subsequently distributed $5.1 million to members of Safari. Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 represents $81.7 million of loan proceeds related to the construction of ACC3 and advances from affiliates of $1.6 million partially offset by distributions of $13.0 million to members of ACC3.

Related Party Transactions

Leasing Arrangements

Upon completion of the IPO, we assumed a lease with an affiliate of our sponsors to occupy approximately 6,797 square feet of office space at 1212 New York Avenue in Washington, D.C., an office building owned by entities affiliated with our sponsors. In addition, an entity affiliated with our sponsors assigned to us any ownership interest it may have in the office furniture and other personal items currently in use by us for no consideration. Under the terms of the lease, which expires on September 17, 2009, we are required to pay to an affiliate of our sponsors $21,535 per month in rent until September 17, 2008 and then $22,181 per month until the end of lease in addition to our pro rata share of any increase in real estate taxes over the base year. We have four options to renew for periods of five years each. We believe that the terms of this lease are fair and reasonable and reflect the terms we could expect to obtain in an arm’s length transaction for comparable space elsewhere in Washington, D.C.

Inflation

Our leases all contain annual rent increases. As a result, we believe that we are largely insulated from the effects of inflation. However, following the completion of the IPO, we expect to incur significantly increased general and administrative expenses, most of which we do not expect that we will be able to pass along to our tenants. Additionally, any increases in the costs of development of our properties will generally result in a higher cost of the property, which will result in increased cash requirements to develop our properties and increased depreciation expense in future periods, and, in some circumstances, we may not be able to directly pass along the increase in these development costs to our tenants in the form of higher rents.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevalent market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. On August 15, 2007, we entered into a $200.0 million interest rate swap with KeyBank National Association to manage the interest rate risk associated with a portion of the KeyBank Credit Facility to be effective August 17, 2007 through the maturity of this loan. This swap agreement effectively fixes the interest rate on $200.0 million of the KeyBank Credit Facility at 4.997% plus the applicable credit spread, which as of October 24, 2007 was fixed at 1.50%. We have designated this agreement as a hedge for accounting purposes. We do not intend to

use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and, to the extent we elect to enter into hedging arrangements under the terms of our loan agreement, we intend to enter into contracts only with major financial institutions based on their credit rating and other factors. If interest rates were to increase by 1%, the increase in interest expense on our variable rate debt outstanding as of September 30, 2007 (excluding the portion of the KeyBank Credit Facility that is hedged through our interest rate swap) would decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $2.6 million annually. If interest rates were to decrease 1%, the decrease in interest expense on the variable rate debt outstanding as of September 30, 2007 would be approximately $2.3 million annually. Interest risk amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. These analyses do not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur in that environment. Further, in the event of a change of that magnitude, we may take actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, these analyses assume no changes in our financial structure.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

For a discussion of other potential risks and uncertainties of our business, see the information under the heading “Risk Factors” in our prospectus dated October 18, 2007, filed with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act on October 19, 2007, which is accessible on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov. Other than as described below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the prospectus.

As the owner of real property, we could become subject to liability for failure to comply with environmental requirements regarding the handling and disposal of regulated substances and wastes or for non-compliance with health and safety requirements.

Environmental laws and regulations regarding the handling of regulated substances and wastes apply to our properties, in particular, regulations regarding the storage of petroleum for auxiliary or emergency power. The properties in our portfolio are also subject to various federal, state and local health and safety requirements, such as state and local fire requirements. If we or our tenants fail to comply with these various requirements, we might incur governmental fines or private damage awards. Moreover, we do not know whether existing requirements will change or whether future requirements will require us to make significant unanticipated expenditures that will materially adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution to you, the per share trading price of our common stock and our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations. Environmental noncompliance liability could also affect a tenant’s ability to make rental payments to us.

In March 2007, we were cited by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (“VDEQ”) compliance office about our emissions from the ACC2 diesel generators exceeding short-term emission limits. We commenced a study to develop a remediation plan and currently estimate future capital expenditures with respect to ACC2 of approximately $650,000 to reduce that facility’s emissions to be in conformance with state limits. In September 2007, VDEQ issued a proposed consent order imposing a fine in the amount of $169,372. We are in the process of seeking to have this fine reduced, although we may not be able to do. The proposed order also requires the ACC2 facility to follow a corrective action plan to bring it into compliance with applicable air regulations. The expected cost to implement the proposed corrective action plan matches our estimated capital expenditures for compliance. We intend to enter this consent order, or a similar consent order, with VDEQ in the near future. If we were not to comply with the order, we could be subject to further fines, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

On October 5, 2007, we received a notice of violation from VDEQ regarding certain diesel generators at ACC4. The notice asserts that construction and operation of the generators was commenced prior to receiving a required air permit from VDEQ for construction and operation of the generators and that the generators have been operating since June 2007 without an air permit. At this time, we do not know what corrective actions, if any, VDEQ may require and we are unable to estimate the amount of any civil penalties that VDEQ may assess. We cannot assure you that an enforcement action by VDEQ will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Our Executive Chairman, Lammot J. du Pont, and our President and Chief Executive Officer, Hossein Fateh, have agreed to personally indemnify us against any civil penalties or charges which may be assessed against us by VDEQ directly arising out of the notice of violation issued on October 5, 2007. We have accrued a $750,000 liability related to this claim based on our best estimate of the potential penalty and a corresponding $750,000 receivable related to the indemnification agreement. However, we cannot assure you of the amount of any penalties or expenses we may incur in connection with this notice or that this indemnification agreement will be sufficient to protect us in all instances.

In addition, on October 19, 2007, we received a notice of violation from VDEQ regarding certain diesel generators at one of our facilities in Northern Virginia, VA4. The notice asserts that the operation of our generators has not been in conformity with our air permit and that certain equipment added to the generators to reduce emissions has not been constructed, tested, and maintained in compliance with applicable regulations. At this time, we do not know what corrective actions, if any, VDEQ may require and we are unable to estimate the amount of any civil penalties that VDEQ may assess. We cannot assure you that an enforcement action by VDEQ will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Our Executive Chairman, Lammot J. du Pont, and our President and Chief Executive Officer, Hossein Fateh, entered into an agreement with us to personally indemnify us against any and all direct or indirect claims, liabilities, damages and penalties, including without limitation costs resulting from changes to third party contracts, which may at any time arise, be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against us during the period ending October 24, 2010, as a result of the alleged violations cited in the October 19, 2007, notice from VDEQ, and have set aside, as partial collateral for these obligations, certain funds accruing for the account of the former members of the entity that contributed VA4 to our company. We have accrued a $200,000 liability related to this claim based on our best estimate of the potential penalty and a corresponding $200,000 receivable related to the indemnification agreement. However, we cannot assure you of the amount of any penalties or expenses we may incur in connection with this notice or that this indemnification agreement will be sufficient to protect us in all instances.

ITEM 2 – Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Our registration statement on Form S-1, as amended (Registration No. 333-145294) (the “Registration Statement”), with respect to our initial public offering (the “Offering”) of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, was declared effective on October 18, 2007. We sold a total of 35,075,000 shares of common stock in the Offering, including 4,575,000 shares of common stock sold pursuant to the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares to cover over-allotments. The Offering closed on October 24, 2007 and did not terminate before any securities were sold. As of the date of filing this report, the Offering has terminated and all of the securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement have been sold. The managing underwriters of the Offering were Lehman Brothers Inc., UBS Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., KeyBanc Capital Markets, LLC, Banc of America Securities LLC and Raymond James & Associates, Inc. The aggregate amount registered and the aggregate amount of the shares offered and sold in the Offering were each $736.6 million.

The underwriting discount and financial advisory fees paid to the underwriters totaled $51.6 million. We incurred approximately $10.0 million of other expenses in connection with the Offering, $3.0 million of which were reimbursed to us by certain of the underwriters. Our expenses included approximately $3.0 million of finders fees payable to our independent financial advisor in connection with the Offering. The foregoing expenses are a reasonable estimate of the expenses incurred by us in the Offering and do not represent the exact amount of expenses incurred. All of the foregoing expenses were direct or indirect payments to persons other than (i) our directors, officers or any of their associates; (ii) persons owning ten percent (10%) or more of our common stock; or (iii) our affiliates.

The net proceeds to us of the Offering were approximately $678.0 million. We have used the net proceeds as follows:

• approximately $303.1 million to repay indebtedness related to ACC4 including: development costs payable of $29.7 million, exit and prepayment fees of $61.7 million, a senior mortgage loan in principal amount of $124.4 million, a senior mezzanine loan in principal amount of $47.3 million and a junior mezzanine loan in principal amount of $40.0 million; and

• approximately $244.8 million to repay amounts outstanding under the KeyBank Credit Facility.

In addition, we paid approximately $104.6 million in cash proceeds from the Offering and our operating partnership issued an aggregate of 31,162,272 units of limited partnership interest (“OP Units”) to acquire ownership interests in our initial properties and contract rights to acquire property and property management, development, leasing, asset management and technical services agreements and arrangements from the existing owners, including certain directors and officers of the Company. Pursuant to the limited partnership agreement, persons holding OP Units will have rights, beginning 12 months after the completion of the Offering, to cause our OP to redeem each of their OP Units for cash equal to the then-current market value of one share of our common stock, or, at our election, to exchange their OP Units for shares of our common stock on a one-to-one basis. The OP Units were issued in accordance with the exemption from registration provided by Rule 506 under the Securities Act based on the number and nature of the purchasers.

Pending application of the remaining proceeds, we will invest the net proceeds in interest-bearing accounts and short-term, interest-bearing securities, which are consistent with our intention to qualify for taxation as a REIT. We expect to use approximately $22.5 million of the net proceeds to fund the purchase price of SC1 and SC2 in Santa Clara, California, in December 2007.

Prior to the IPO, we sold an aggregate of 1,000 shares of common stock to Lammot J. du Pont, our Executive Chairman, and Hossein Fateh, our President and Chief Executive Officer, for an aggregate consideration of $1. These shares were issued in accordance with the exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the making of the Loan by Lender to Borrower and the covenants, agreements, representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, the parties hereto hereby covenant, agree, represent and warrant as follows:

I. DEFINITIONS; PRINCIPLES OF CONSTRUCTION

Section 1.1 Capitalized Terms. All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in Schedule I attached hereto.

Section 1.2 Principles of Construction. All references to sections, schedules and exhibits are to sections, schedules and exhibits in or to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Unless otherwise specified, the words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. Unless otherwise specified, all meanings attributed to defined terms herein shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of the terms so defined and “including” means including without limitation. Whenever the context requires, each gender shall include all other genders. All exhibits and schedules attached hereto are incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.

II. GENERAL TERMS

Section 2.1 Loan Commitment; Disbursement to Borrower.

(a) The Loan. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Lender hereby agrees to make the Loan to Borrower on the Closing Date in the original principal amount of THIRTY MILLION ONE HUNDRED FORTY FOUR THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED SEVENTY SIX AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($30,144,376.00); provided that on the Closing Date, the Lender shall only disburse to Borrower an aggregate amount equal to $20,658,421.00. A portion of the Loan not disbursed on the Closing Date in the aggregate amount of $1,302,690 (the “ComEd Holdback”) shall be advanced as set forth in Section 2.6. A portion of the Loan not disbursed on the Closing Date in the aggregate amount of $2,500,000 (the “Interest Holdback”) shall be advanced by the making of Future Interest Fundings as set forth in Section 2.7. A portion of the Loan not disbursed on the Closing Date in the aggregate amount of $5,683,266 (the “WCR Holdback”) shall be advanced as set forth in Section 2.8. This is not a revolving loan. Any amount borrowed and repaid hereunder in respect of the Loan may not be reborrowed. The Note evidences the Loan, and the Loan shall bear interest and otherwise be payable as provided in the Note and this Agreement; provided, however, that in any event, the principal balance, all accrued but unpaid interest and all other sums owing on the Loan shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date or earlier, if the Loan is accelerated pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. The holder of the Note shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b) Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan in accordance with the Certificate of Sources and Uses of Funds and for no other purpose.

Section 2.2 Mandatory Prepayments. At the Lender’s sole discretion, the Loan is subject to mandatory prepayment in certain instances of Casualty and Condemnation (each, a “Casualty/Condemnation Involuntary Prepayment”), in the manner and to the extent set forth in this Agreement. Each Casualty/Condemnation Involuntary Prepayment not made on a Payment Date shall include all accrued and unpaid interest that would have accrued on such prepayment through the next Payment Date.

Section 2.3 Origination Fee. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender the Origination Fee as a fee for Lender arranging the Loan. The Origination Fee shall be deemed fully earned upon closing and shall not be refundable for any reason.

Section 2.4 Additional Fee. Upon the earliest to occur of the date of prepayment of the Loan, the Maturity Date or the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall also pay the Additional Fee as specified in the Note.

Section 2.5 Yield Maintenance. Borrower shall pay the Yield Maintenance Amount as specified in the Note.

Section 2.6 ComEd Holdback. Pursuant to Borrower’s (or Servicer’s) written request made to Lender at least five (5) Business Days prior to the requested date of any advance of the ComEd Holdback, and, provided, that both immediately prior to the making of any advance of the ComEd Holdback and after giving effect thereto, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall advance to Borrower all or a portion of the ComEd Holdback in accordance with the provisions of Schedule VI attached hereto. Borrower shall not make a request for an advance of the ComEd Holdback more frequently than once in any calendar month. Any disbursements from the ComEd Holdback shall be deemed to have been paid to and received by Borrower upon disbursement thereof and shall be added to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and shall bear interest at the Applicable Interest Rate. Interest at the Applicable Interest Rate will be charged on any disbursed portion of the ComEd Holdback as and when advanced, but interest will not be charged on the undisbursed portion of the ComEd Holdback.

2

Section 2.7 Interest Holdback; Future Interest Fundings. On each Payment Date, provided no Event of Default has occurred and subject to the provisions of Section 1.1(a) of the Note, Lender shall advance funds from the Interest Holdback (“Future Interest Fundings”), by ledger entry on the books of Lender, to pay directly to Lender all or any portion of the accrued interest on the Note due on such Payment Date. Future Interest Fundings shall only be made to Lender for the payment of interest on the Note as provided above and Lender shall not be obligated to make Future Interest Fundings to reimburse Borrower for any costs or expenses or for any other purpose. Any and all Future Interest Fundings shall be deemed to have been paid to and received by Borrower and shall be added to the outstanding principal balance of the Note and shall bear interest at the Applicable Interest Rate. Interest at the Applicable Interest Rate will be charged on any disbursed portion of the Interest Holdback as and when disbursed through the making of Future Interest Fundings, but interest will not be charged on any undisbursed portion of the Interest Holdback. Borrower recognizes that the payment of interest on the Note by the making of Future Interest Fundings from the Interest Holdback is for its convenience and benefit. Lender shall have no obligation to fund any portion of the Interest Holdback so long as any Event of Default shall exist. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Future Interest Fundings shall be made as provided herein (and subject to the conditions set forth herein) without any requirement that the Borrower make a request therefor.

Section 2.8 WCR Holdback. Pursuant to Borrower’s (or Servicer’s) written request made to Lender at least five (5) Business Days prior to the requested date of any advance of the WCR Holdback, and, provided, (i) that both immediately prior to the making of any advance of the WCR Holdback and after giving effect thereto, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) such request is for approved expenses as set forth in the Pre-Development Budget, Lender shall advance to Borrower all or a portion of the WCR Holdback. Any disbursements from the WCR Holdback shall be deemed to have been paid to and received by Borrower upon disbursement thereof and shall be added to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and shall bear interest at the Applicable Interest Rate. Interest at the Applicable Interest Rate will be charged on any disbursed portion of the WCR Holdback as and when advanced, but interest will not be charged on the undisbursed portion of the WCR Holdback.

Section 2.9 Option to Extend. Borrower shall only have the one time option to extend the term of the Loan from the Original Maturity Date to the Extended Maturity Date, upon satisfaction of each of the following conditions precedent:

(a) Borrower shall provide Lender with written notice (the “Extension Notice”) of Borrower’s request to exercise this option to extend not more than one hundred twenty (120) days but not less than sixty (60) days prior to the Original Maturity Date;

(b) Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice, Borrower shall pay to Lender the Extension Fee, which shall be deemed earned in full as of the date of the Exercise Notice and shall be payable regardless of whether the maturity is extended or not.

(c) As of the date of Borrower’s delivery of the Extension Notice, and as of the Original Maturity Date, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and Borrower shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to such effect on each such date;

3

(d) Borrower shall deliver to Lender, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, an updated title search that shall show no encumbrances on the Property other than the Permitted Encumbrances and shall otherwise not show any matter not permitted by the Loan Documents;

(e) Borrower shall have provided to Lender an estoppel certificate in compliance with Section 5.14 of this Agreement;

(f) Borrower shall have established reserve funds for the payment of Taxes, Insurance Premiums and interest on the Loan for the Extension Period;

(g) Upon delivery of the Extension Notice, Borrower shall also deliver to Lender an updated annual budget including all planned capital expenditures in respect of the Property for the Extension Period. Such budget shall be prepared and submitted in the form acceptable to Lender and shall set forth in reasonable detail all budgeted items of income and expense (whether from operations, capital items or otherwise) and shall contain, among other things, limitations on fees and payments to Affiliates of any Borrower Party; and

(h) During the period from the Original Maturity Date through the Extended Maturity Date (the “Extension Period”), the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as modified and approved by Lender shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect.

III. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

As a material inducement to Lender to make the Loan, Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Lender that Borrower has satisfied (except to the extent specifically set forth on Schedule IV or otherwise waived by Lender) all of the conditions precedent set forth in Schedule II attached hereto, and Borrower acknowledges that Lender would not fund the Loan unless all of such conditions precedent were satisfied or waived by the Closing Date.

IV. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 4.1 Borrower Representations. Borrower represents and warrants to the Lender as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date (if such date is different), except as otherwise disclosed on the Disclosure Schedule attached hereto as Schedule IV:

(a) Organization. Each Borrower Party (other than a Borrower Party that is a natural person) has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing in the jurisdiction in which it is organized. Each such Borrower Party is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in the state in which the Property is located and in each jurisdiction where Borrower is required to be so qualified in connection with its properties, businesses and operations. Borrower has all necessary rights, Licenses, permits, authorizations, approvals, governmental and otherwise, and full power and authority to own the Property and carry on its business as now conducted and proposed to be conducted. Borrower has the full right, power and authority to develop, operate and lease the Property, to encumber the Property as provided herein and to perform all of the other obligations to be performed by Borrower under the Loan Documents. The sole business of Borrower is the ownership, development, management and operation of the Property. Borrower has delivered to Lender all of its formation and Organizational Documents and all such formation and Organizational Documents remain in full force and effect and have not been amended or modified since they were delivered to Lender.

4

(b) Enforceability. Each Borrower Party has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the obligations of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, and such obligations shall be the valid and binding obligations of the respective Borrower Parties. This Agreement and such other Loan Documents to which each Borrower Party is a party have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of each Borrower Party and each Borrower Party has obtained or received all required consents and approvals, limited liability company, corporate, governmental or otherwise, and this Agreement and such other Loan Documents to which each Borrower Party is a party constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of each such Borrower Party enforceable against each such Borrower Party in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law). The Loan Documents and the performance of each Borrower Party’s obligations thereunder are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by any Borrower Party, including the defense of usury or similar doctrines, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Loan Documents or any remedy provided for thereunder unenforceable except to the extent such unenforceability may be the result of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally or general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law), and no Borrower Party has asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto. Each of the Loan Documents is in full force and effect and no Default or Event of Default has occurred thereunder as of the Closing Date.

(c) No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the performance of the obligations thereunder by the Borrower Parties do not and will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien, charge or encumbrance (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property or assets of any Borrower Party pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement, operating agreement, certificate of incorporation, bylaws or any other agreement or instrument to which such Borrower Party is a party or by which such Borrower Party’s properties or assets are subject, nor will such action conflict with or result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court or Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such Borrower Party or any of its properties or assets, and any consent, approval, authorization, order, License, registration or qualification of or with any court or any such regulatory authority or other Governmental Authority or body required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower Parties of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect. No Borrower Party is a party or subject to (other than SPE provisions required by Lender) (i) any restriction in its Organizational Documents that materially affects its business or the use or ownership of any of its properties or operation of its business as presently contemplated or (ii) any contract, agreement or restriction that materially and adversely affects its business or the use or ownership of any of its properties or operation of its business as presently

5

contemplated. Borrower is not, and with respect to the Property, no Borrower Party is, a party or subject to any contract or agreement which restricts Borrower’s right or ability to incur the Debt, and no Borrower Party is a party or subject to any contract or agreement which restricts its right or ability to enter into the Loan Documents to which it is a party or which prohibits any Borrower Party’s execution or performance of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Borrower’s obtaining the Loan, the Guarantors’ guaranty of the Obligations and the Borrower Parties’ providing security for the Obligations as provided herein. No Borrower Party has agreed or consented to cause or permit in the future (upon the happening of a contingency or otherwise) the Property to be subject to a Lien that is not a Permitted Encumbrance. As of the date hereof, each Borrower Party has provided to the Lender, accurate and complete copies of all of the following agreements or documents to which such Borrower Party is subject: (a) all Property Management Agreements with respect to the Property; (b) all instruments and agreements evidencing the issuance of any equity securities, warrants, rights or options to purchase equity securities of any Borrower Party (other than a Borrower Party that is a natural person) or any Subsidiary of any Borrower Party (other than a Borrower Party that is a natural person); and (c) all Organizational Documents of any Borrower Party (other than a Borrower Party that is a natural person). All such agreements are in full force and effect and are not presently subject to termination because of an existing default by a Borrower Party or otherwise. No contract to which any Borrower Party is a party contains any provision which provides that a change of ownership or control of any Borrower Party resulting from the exercise of Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents constitutes an unauthorized assignment thereof or gives the other party a right of termination or other right or remedy. Except to the extent obtained and delivered to Lender in writing prior to the Closing Date, no registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any Person or any Governmental Authority (other than the filing of financing statements and continuation statements) is or will be necessary in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by each Borrower Party which is a party thereto, consummation by each Borrower Party which is a party hereto or thereto of the transactions herein or therein contemplated, including the Borrower’s obtaining the Loan, the Guarantors’ Guaranty of Recourse Obligations and the Borrower Parties’ granting security for the Obligations, performance of or compliance by each Borrower Party a party thereto with the terms and conditions hereof or thereof or the legality, validity and enforceability hereof or thereof.

(d) Litigation. There are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations at law or in equity now pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting any Borrower Party or the Property other than as described on Schedule III.

(e) Agreements. None of the Borrower Parties is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which has a Material Adverse Effect on such Borrower Party or the Property. No Borrower Party is a party to any agreement or instrument which restricts the use and/or development of the Property. No Borrower Party is in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which such Borrower Party is a party or by which such Borrower Party or the Property is bound. Borrower has no Indebtedness under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or the Property is otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Property and (b) obligations under the Loan Documents.

(f) Title. Borrower has good, marketable and insurable fee simple title to the real property comprising the Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances. The Security Instrument, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with the Uniform Commercial Code financing statements filed in connection with the Loan, will create (i) valid, perfected Liens on the Property, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances and (ii) perfected security interests in and to (or perfected collateral assignments of), all personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances. The Permitted Encumbrances do not materially and adversely affect the value of the Property, the use of the Property for the use being made thereof as of the date of this Agreement, the operation of the Property or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan in full. There are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Property, which will become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents. Borrower has paid in full for, and are the owners of, all furnishings, fixtures and equipment (other than Tenants’ property) used in connection with the operation of the Property, free and clear of any and all security interests, Liens or encumbrances, except the Liens and security interest created by the Loan Documents. There are no prior assignments of Leases or any portion of the Rents due and payable or to become due and payable, which are presently outstanding. There are no options, rights of first refusal, rights of first offer or similar rights, which affect the Property or any portion thereof.

(g) No Bankruptcy Filing. (A) (i) Borrower is solvent (within the meaning of all Bankruptcy Laws) and no bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or similar proceeding with respect to any Borrower Party under any Bankruptcy Law has been initiated, and (ii) the entering into the Loan Documents to which any Borrower Party is a party does not constitute a fraudulent conveyance by any Person; and (B) no petition in bankruptcy has been filed by or against Borrower, any Borrower Party, or any Affiliate of Borrower or any Borrower Party in the last seven (7) years, and none of Borrower, any Borrower Party, or any Affiliate thereof, or any principal, any general partner or member thereof, in the last seven (7) years has ever made any assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any applicable Bankruptcy Laws. No Borrower Party has entered into the Loan or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor, and each Borrower Party 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 exceed and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities and 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 its obligations).

(h) Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by any of the Borrower Parties in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, nor any written materials relating to the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of any of the Borrower Parties or the Property that were supplied to Lender in connection with Lender’s due diligence investigation (other than financial projections in respect of which no representation is made) contain (or, in the case of such written material, at the time supplied contained) any untrue statement of a material fact or omits (or omitted, as the case may be) to state any material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein or in any of the Loan Documents not misleading. There is no fact known to any Borrower Party which has not been disclosed in writing to Lender which has resulted in or may result in a Material Adverse Change. All reports, documents, instruments, information and forms of evidence delivered to Lender concerning the Loan or security for the Loan or required by the Loan Documents are accurate and correct in all material respects and sufficiently complete to give Lender true and accurate knowledge of their subject matter, and do not contain any misrepresentation or omission. There are no facts known (or which should upon the exercise of reasonable diligence be known) to Borrower or any Borrower Party that, individually or in the aggregate, would have any reasonable likelihood of resulting in or causing a Material Adverse Change which have not been set forth in the financial statements delivered to Lender or otherwise disclosed in writing to the Lender prior to the date hereof.

(i) Regulatory. None of the Borrower Parties is an “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA), subject to Title I of ERISA, and none of the assets of the Borrower Parties constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101.

No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose which would be inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other Regulations of such Board of Governors, or for any purposes prohibited by Legal Requirements or by the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Neither Borrower, nor any other Borrower Party, is a “foreign person” within the meaning of § 1445(f)(3) of the Code or a “personal holding company” within the meaning of § 542 of the Code. No Borrower Party is (i) an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; (ii) a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company” or an “affiliate” of either a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended; or (iii) subject to any other federal or state law or regulation which purports to restrict or regulate Borrower’s ability to borrow money.

(j) Compliance. To Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower and the Property (and the uses thereof) comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements. Borrower has obtained or will obtain all necessary certificates, licenses and other approvals, governmental and otherwise, and all required zoning, building code, land use, environmental and other similar permits or approvals

8

(collectively, the “Licenses”), including certificates of completion and certificates of occupancy, necessary for the operation of the Property for its current and intended uses and for the conduct of Borrower’s business and each Tenant’s business and, to Borrower’s knowledge, all such Licenses remain in full force and effect. The use of the Property shall at all times comply in all material respects with applicable Legal Requirements, including all applicable zoning resolutions, building codes and environmental laws. None of the foregoing is subject to revocation, suspension, forfeiture or modification. Neither Borrower nor the Property is in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority and neither Borrower nor any other Borrower Party has received any notice of violations of any Legal Requirements in respect of the Property which has not been cured as of the date hereof. There has not been committed by any Borrower Party or any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Property any act or omission affording the federal government or any Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents. The Plans and Specifications, the construction contemplated pursuant thereto and the use of the Property contemplated thereby comply and shall comply in all material respects with applicable Legal Requirements, including all applicable zoning resolutions, building codes and Environmental Laws. Borrower has not purchased the Property or any portion thereof or direct or indirect ownership interest therein with the proceeds of any illegal activity.

(k) Financial Information.

(i) The balance sheets, income statements and other financial data that have been delivered to Lender in respect of the Property and each applicable Borrower Party, including those required under Article III (i) are true, complete and correct in all material respects, (ii) accurately represent the financial condition of the Property and/or the applicable Borrower Party (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.12(c)) as of the date of such reports or statements and contain no material misrepresentation or omission, and (iii) have been prepared in accordance with Acceptable Accounting Principles consistently applied throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein, and (iv) have not been amended, modified or revised in any manner. Neither Borrower nor any other Borrower Party has any material Indebtedness, liabilities, contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that may have a Material Adverse Effect, except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no Material Adverse Change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrower, any other Borrower Party or the Property from that set forth in said financial statements.

(ii) All Taxes relating to the Property are current and are not delinquent. Each Borrower Party has filed all federal, state, county, municipal, and city income and other tax returns required to have been filed by them and has paid all taxes and related liabilities which have become due and payable pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessments received by them. No Borrower Party knows of any basis for any additional assessment in respect of any such taxes and related liabilities for prior years.

(l) Casualty; Condemnation and Assessments. The Property is free from damage by Casualty. No Condemnation or other proceeding has been commenced or, to Borrower’s knowledge, is contemplated with respect to all or any portion of the Property or for the relocation of any roadways providing access to the Property or for any easements or public right-of-ways. There are no pending or to the Borrower’s knowledge, proposed special or other assessments for public improvements affecting the Property, nor are there any contemplated improvements to the Property that may result in such special or other assessments, and to the knowledge of the Borrower, there are no other facts or circumstances which would cause the Taxes and Other Charges for the Property for the Fiscal Year in which the Closing Date occurs or the next following Fiscal Year to be significantly higher than the Taxes and Other Charges for the Property assessed and imposed for the Fiscal Year prior to the Fiscal Year in which the Closing Date occurs.

(m) Insurance. Borrower has obtained and has delivered to Lender a certificate(s) of insurance satisfactory to Lender reflecting the insurance coverages, amounts and other requirements set forth in this Agreement and there have been no acts or omissions that would impair the coverage of any such Policies or the benefits of the mortgagee endorsements and Borrower shall deliver to Lender certified copies of all such Policies within ten (10) Business Days following the date of this Agreement.

(n) Use; Certificate of Occupancy; Licenses; Utilities.

(i) The Improvements on the Property consist of a vacant industrial facility which Borrower intends to redevelop as a data center. According to the Survey, the Property has rights of access to public ways and is served by public water, sewer, electric, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities. To Borrower’s knowledge, all of such rights of access to public ways and all of such utilities and utilities facilities are adequate to service the Property for its current use, but not for its intended use. According to the Survey, all public utilities necessary for the use and the enjoyment of the Property (but not for its intended use) are located either in the public rights-of-way abutting the Property (which are connected so as to serve the Property without passing through other property) or in recorded easements serving the Property and such easements are set forth and insured in the Title Insurance Policy. To Borrower’s knowledge, the public utilities described in the immediately preceding sentence are all of the utilities necessary for the use and the enjoyment of the Property for its current use, but not for its intended use. All roads and other access necessary for the current use and any intended use of the Property have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities and are adequate for the Property’s current and intended use.

(ii) To Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower represents and warrants that the Property will be serviced by twenty-seven and one-half (27.5) mega watts of electric power, once the construction and development contemplated by the ComEd Agreement is completed.

There exists no structural or other material defect or damage in the Property, whether latent or otherwise, and Borrower has not received notice from any insurance company, bonding company or any other Person of any defects or inadequacies in the Property, or any part thereof, which would adversely affect the insurability of

10

the same or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or of any termination or threatened termination of any Policy or bond. All costs and expenses of any and all labor, materials, supplies and equipment used in the construction of the Improvements shall be paid in full as the same become due and payable.

(p) Survey; Flood Zone; Separate Tax Lot. The Survey for the Property delivered to Lender in connection with this Agreement has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section (b)(iv) of Schedule II. Except as may otherwise be noted or shown on the Survey, all of the Improvements lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Property and no Improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Property, and no easements or other encumbrances upon the Property (including any set-back restrictions) encroach upon any of the Improvements, so as to affect the value or marketability of the Property except those which are insured against by title insurance. The Property is comprised of one (1) or more parcels, which constitute one or more separate tax lots, and does not constitute a portion of any other tax lot not a part of the Property. Except as set forth on the Survey, the Property is not located in any area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as an area having special flood hazards or, if any portion of the Property is located within such area, Borrower has obtained and will maintain the insurance prescribed in Section 6.1.1(a)(ii).

(r) Filing and Recording Taxes. All transfer taxes, recording taxes, deed stamps, intangible taxes or other amounts in the nature of transfer taxes or recording taxes, charges or fees or similar charges required to be paid by any Person under applicable Legal Requirements currently in effect in connection with the transfer of the Property to the Borrower have been paid or will be paid on the Closing Date.

(e) (i) None of the funds or other assets of Borrower or any Borrower Party constitute property of, or are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any Embargoed Person (as defined below); (ii) no Embargoed Person has any interest of any nature whatsoever in Borrower, any member of the Borrower, or any Borrower Party, as applicable (whether directly or indirectly); and (iii) none of the funds of Borrower, any member of the Borrower, or any Borrower Party, as applicable, have been derived from any unlawful activity with the result that the investment in Borrower, any member of the Borrower, or any Borrower Party, as applicable (whether directly or indirectly), is prohibited by law or the Loan is in violation of law. “Embargoed Person” means any person, entity or government subject to trade restrictions under U.S. law, including but not limited to, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. §§ 1701 et seq., The Trading with the Enemy Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 1, et seq., and any Executive Orders or regulations promulgated thereunder with the result that the investment in Borrower, any member of Borrower, or any Borrower Party, as applicable (whether directly or indirectly), is prohibited by law or the Loan made by the Lender is in violation of applicable law.

Section 5.31 Misapplication of Funds. Borrower shall not distribute any Property revenues, Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds in violation of the provisions of the Loan Documents, or make any distributions in violation of the provisions of the Loan Documents.

Section 5.32 Title Reports. Upon request by Lender, Borrower shall provide Lender with current UCC Searches or updates to UCC Searches previously delivered to Lender. If Borrower fails to provide such reports to Lender within thirty (30) days of Lender’s request therefor, such failure shall constitute an Event of Default, and Lender shall have the right to obtain copies of such reports or updates at Borrower’s sole cost and expense.

Section 5.33 Bankruptcy. Borrower shall give prompt written notice to Lender of any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or similar proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law against any Borrower Party.

Section 5.34 Material Agreements.

(a) Borrower shall not enter into any Material Agreement without the consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Borrower shall provide Lender with a written request for such consent. After receipt of such written request, Lender shall have ten (10) Business Days to review and respond to such request. If Lender does not respond to Borrower’s request within such ten Business Day period, Borrower shall then provide Lender with a second request for consent. If Lender does not respond to Borrower’s second request within two (2) Business Days after receipt of such second request, then such Material Agreement shall be deemed approved by Lender. Upon the request of Lender with respect to Material Agreements, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a recognition agreement from such service or material provider, among other things, providing for such Person’s continued performance in accordance with the terms of such Material Agreements should Lender become the owner of the Property. Each such Material Agreement and each recognition agreement relating thereto, shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender in all respects, including the amount of the costs and fees thereunder.

29

(b) Except as specifically set forth herein, Borrower will not amend, modify, supplement, rescind or terminate any Material Agreement, without Lender’s approval, including the identity of the party to perform services under such agreement. If a material or service provider under a Material Agreement is in default in its obligations thereunder to the extent entitling Borrower to rescind or terminate that agreement, then if Lender so requires (but not otherwise), Borrower will promptly use all reasonable efforts to terminate that agreement and appoint a new party in its place, with such identity and terms of appointment as are approved by Lender.

(c) Borrower shall and shall cause each Borrower Party, as applicable, to observe and perform each and every term to be observed or performed by such Borrower Party under the Material Agreements the non-performance of which would cause a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.35 Loan Balancing.

(a) In Balance. The Loan shall be “in balance” at all times as determined by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion. For purposes of this Loan Agreement, the Loan will be deemed “in balance” only at such times as Borrower has invested a sufficient amount of its own funds so that (i) the total loan-to-value ratio never exceeds 65% and (ii) the undisbursed portion of the Interest Holdback is sufficient to pay interest on the Loan until the Maturity Date, as reasonably determined by Lender.

(b) Determination of Balancing. The initial determination of Loan balancing shall be determined as of the Closing Date. The Lender may re-evaluate the Loan balancing periodically and prior to any advance of the Loan throughout the term of the Loan. If Lender at any time determines that the Loan is not “in balance” Lender shall so notify Borrower in writing, and shall not be obligated to make any further advances of the Loan until Lender determines the Loan is again in balance.

(c) Deficiency Deposit. Within ten (10) Business Days of Borrower’s receipt of the notice referred to in subsection (b), Borrower shall deposit with Lender an amount of cash (the “Deficiency Deposit”) sufficient to place the Loan “in balance” or Borrower shall make such other arrangements as Lender may approve to place the Loan “in balance.” Any Deficiency Deposit made with Lender shall not earn interest. Borrower will pay Lender’s normal account opening and administration fees for handling such Deficiency Deposit. The Deficiency Deposit shall be first exhausted before Lender makes any further Loan Advance. Disbursement of the Deficiency Deposit must be approved by Lender and shall be subject to Borrower’s compliance with all conditions which would be applied to an advance of the Loan for the same items to which the Deficiency Deposit is to be applied. Any default, breach or violation of this Section 5.35(c) shall be an automatic Event of Default (without any notice, grace or cure period.)

(d) Additional Required Borrower’s Equity. Borrower will cause its investors to invest such additional funds in Borrower as equity from time to time as may be required to keep the Loan “in balance” as required in this Section 5.35. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Principals shall unconditionally contribute to Borrower at least thirty percent (30%) of any additional equity contributions required to keep the Loan “in balance.”

VI. CASUALTY; CONDEMNATION; ESCROWS

Section 6.1 Insurance; Casualty and Condemnation.

Section 6.1.1 Insurance.

(a) Borrower shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be maintained at all times during the term of the Loan, insurance for Borrower and the Property providing at least the following coverages:

(i) Comprehensive all risk insurance on the Improvements and all personal property, including fire, lightning, vandalism and malicious mischief, boiler and machinery, contingent liability from Operation of Building Laws, Demolition Costs and Increased Cost of Construction Endorsements, and if required by Lender, flood and/or earthquake coverage, in each case (A) in an amount equal to 100% of the “full replacement cost,” which for purposes of this Agreement shall mean actual replacement value (exclusive of costs of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings) with a waiver of depreciation, but the amount shall in no event be less than the outstanding principal balance of the Loan; (B) containing an agreed amount endorsement with respect to the Improvements and all personal property waiving all co-insurance provisions; (C) providing for no deductible in excess of the lesser of $25,000 and one percent (1%) of the face value of such policy; and (D) containing an “Ordinance or Law Coverage” or “Enforcement” endorsement if any of the Improvements or the use of the Property shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses. The full replacement cost shall be redetermined from time to time (but not more frequently than once in any six (6) calendar month period) at the request of Lender by an appraiser or contractor designated and paid by Borrower and approved by Lender, or by an engineer or appraiser in the regular employ of the insurer providing the relevant coverage. After the first appraisal, if permitted by Lender, additional appraisals may be based on construction cost indices customarily employed in the trade. No omission on the part of Lender to request any such ascertainment shall relieve Borrower of any of its obligations under this Section.

(ii) Borrower shall obtain flood hazard insurance if any portion of the Improvements located at the Property is currently or at any time in the future identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as an area having special flood hazards and in which flood insurance has been made available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 (and any amendment or successor act thereto) or otherwise being designated as a “special flood hazard area or part of a 100 year flood zone”, in an amount equal to 100% of the full replacement cost of the Improvements, if any; provided, however, that a portion of such flood hazard insurance may be obtained under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended. If none of the Improvements is so identified, such flood insurance shall be no less than $10,000,000.

(iii) Earthquake insurance in amounts and in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in the event the Property is located in an area with a high degree of seismic activity. If none of the Improvements is so identified, such earthquake insurance shall not be required.

31

(iv) Commercial general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Property, such insurance (A) to be on the so-called “occurrence” form with a combined single limit of not less than $2,000,000 or such higher amount as may be required by Lender; (B) to continue at not less than the aforesaid limit until required to be changed by Lender in writing by reason of changed economic conditions making such protection inadequate; and (C) to cover at least the following hazards: (1) premises and operations; (2) products and completed operations on an “if any” basis; (3) independent contractors; and (4) blanket contractual liability for all written and oral contracts.

(v) Business income insurance (A) with loss payable to Lender; (B) covering all risks required to be covered by the insurance provided for in Section 6.1.1(a)(i), above; and (C) after the Property is redeveloped and ready for occupancy, containing an unlimited indemnity period pertaining to the time to repair or rebuild and containing an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical loss to the Improvements and all personal property has been repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such income either returns to the same level it was at prior to the loss, or the expiration of twelve (12) months from the date of the loss, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period; and in an amount equal to 100% of the projected gross income from the Property for a period of twelve (12) months. The amount of such business income insurance shall be determined after the Property is redeveloped and ready for occupancy and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate (subject to Lender’s review and approval) of the gross income from the Property for the succeeding twelve (12) month period. All Insurance Proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this Section 6.1.1(a)(v) shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the Obligations from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Loan; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the Obligations on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance.

(vi) At all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, Borrower’s insurance shall include (A) contingent or protective liability insurance covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy; and (B) the insurance provided for in Section 6.1.1(a)(i), written in a so-called builder’s risk completed value form (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2) against all risks insured against pursuant to Section 6.1.1(a)(i), (3) including permission to occupy the Property, and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions.

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

32

(viii) Comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, if applicable, in amounts as shall be reasonably required by Lender on terms consistent with the comprehensive all risk insurance required under Section 6.1.1(a)(i).

(ix) Umbrella liability insurance in an amount not less than $20,000,000.00 per occurrence on terms consistent with the commercial general liability insurance policy required under Section 6.1.1(a)(iv).

(x) If applicable, motor vehicle liability coverage for all owned and non-owned vehicles, including rented and leased vehicles containing minimum limits per occurrence of $1,000,000.

(xi) In the event that the Property or any part of the Improvements thereon constitutes a legal non-conforming use under applicable building, zoning or land use laws or ordinances which are in affect at the time of loss or at the time of reconstruction, the policy shall include an ordinance or law coverage endorsement which will contain Coverage A: “Loss Due to Operation of Law” (with a minimum liability limit equal to Replacement Cost With Agreed Value Endorsement), Coverage B: “Demolition Cost” and Coverage C: “Increased Cost of Construction” coverages.

(xii) Insurance for loss resulting from perils and acts of terrorism on terms (including amounts) consistent with the insurance required under Sections 6.1(a)(i), (iii), (iv), (v), (vii) and (viii), above, at all times during the term of the Loan, provided that such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates.

(xiii) Such other insurance and in such amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the properties located in or around the region in which the Property is located.

(b) All insurance provided for in Section 6.1.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (“Policies” or in the singular, “Policy”), in such forms and, from time to time after the date hereof, in such amounts as may be satisfactory to Lender, issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State in which the Property is located and approved by Lender. Except as otherwise approved by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion, the insurance companies must have a claims paying ability/financial strength rating of “A/A2” (or its equivalent) or better by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (each such insurer shall be referred to below as a “Qualified Insurer”). The Policies shall designate Lender as first mortgagee, except as to general liability, worker’s compensation, umbrella liability and automobile policies under which Lender shall be named as an additional insured. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender pursuant to Section 6.1.1(a), certified copies of the Policies marked “premium paid” or accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (“Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender; provided, however, that in the case of renewal Policies, Borrower may furnish Lender with binders therefor to be followed by the original Policies when issued.

33

(c) Borrower shall not obtain (i) any umbrella or blanket liability or casualty Policy unless, in each case, such Policy is approved in advance in writing by Lender and Lender’s interest is included therein as provided in this Agreement and the Loan Documents and such Policy is issued by a Qualified Insurer, or (ii) separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required in Section 6.1.1(a) to be furnished by, or which may be reasonably required to be furnished by, Borrower. In the event the Borrower obtains separate insurance or an umbrella or a blanket Policy, Borrower shall notify Lender of the same and shall cause certified copies of each Policy to be delivered as required in Section 6.1.1(a). Any blanket Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1.1(a).

(d) All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1.1(a) except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1.1(a)(vii) shall name Lender and the Borrower as the insured or additional insured, as their respective interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender. Without limitation to the foregoing, Lender shall be named under a Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement (acceptable to Lender) on all insurance policies which Borrower actually maintains with respect to the Property.

(e) All Policies of insurance provided for in Section 6.1.1(a) shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:

(i) No act or negligence of the Borrower, or anyone acting for the Borrower, or of any Tenant under any Lease or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned.

(ii) The Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or cancelled without at least thirty (30) days written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an insured.

(iii) Each Policy shall provide that the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the Policy has not been renewed thirty (30) days prior to its expiration.

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

(v) The insurer waives all rights of subrogation in a manner acceptable to Lender.

(f) Borrower shall furnish to Lender, on or before thirty (30) days after the close of each calendar year, an Officer’s Certificate stating the amounts of insurance maintained in compliance herewith, the risks covered by such insurance and the insurance company or companies which carry such insurance and, if requested by Lender, verification of the adequacy of such insurance by an independent insurance broker or appraiser acceptable to Lender.

34

(g) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower or any other Person to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect Lender’s interest in the Property, including obtaining such insurance coverage as Lender in Lender’s sole discretion deems appropriate, and all expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and until paid shall be secured by the Loan Documents and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

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

(i) Within thirty (30) days after request by Lender, Borrower shall obtain such increases in the amounts of coverage required hereunder as may be reasonably requested by Lender, taking into consideration changes in the value of money over time, changes in liability laws, changes in prudent customs and practices of similarly situated lenders, and the like.

(j) If the Property or any portion of the Property is damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty, whether insured or uninsured (a “Casualty”), the Borrower shall give prompt written notice thereof to Lender. Following the occurrence of a Casualty, the Borrower shall, regardless of whether sufficient Insurance Proceeds are available promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the same to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction, all to be effected in accordance with applicable law and the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents. The expenses incurred by Lender in the adjustment and collection of Insurance Proceeds shall become part of the Debt and be secured by the Loan Documents and shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender upon demand.

(k) Borrower shall comply with all insurance requirements of any insurer of the Property or any portion thereof and shall not bring or keep or permit to be brought or kept any article upon any of the Property or any portion thereof or cause or permit any condition to exist thereon which would be prohibited by an insurance requirement, or would invalidate any Policy then in effect or any of the insurance coverage required hereunder to be maintained by Borrower on or with respect to any part of the Property pursuant to this Agreement.

(l) Any reimbursement due to Lender pursuant to this Section 6.1.1 must be paid within ten (10) days (or sooner if required) of demand therefor, or such amount shall accrue interest at the Default Rate until paid to Lender.

35

(m) Lender shall not be responsible for nor incur any liability for the insolvency of any insurer or other failure of any insurer to perform, even though Lender has caused the insurance to be placed with the insurer after failure of Borrower to furnish such insurance. Borrower shall not obtain insurance for the Property in addition to that required by Lender without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld provided that (i) Lender is named insured on such insurance, (ii) Lender receives complete copies of all policies evidencing such insurance, and (iii) such insurance complies with all of the applicable requirements set forth herein.

Section 6.1.2 Casualty and Application of Proceeds.

(a) In case of loss or damages covered by any of the Policies, the following provisions shall apply:

(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, in the event of a Casualty with respect to the Property that is less than $100,000 in the aggregate, Borrower may settle and adjust any claim without the consent of Lender and retain the proceeds thereof provided that within twenty (20) days following the settlement, Borrower delivers to Lender written notice of the settlement, together with a memorandum summarizing the relevant and material terms of the settlement.

(ii) Lender shall be authorized to, in its sole and absolute discretion but without any obligation to do so, settle and adjust any claim or proceeding in the event of a Casualty with respect to the Property that is equal to or in excess of $100,000, or regardless of amount following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in either case, without any obligation to consult with Borrower in connection therewith. It shall be an Event of Default hereunder if any such claim is settled or compromised on terms that are not approved by Lender in writing (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The expenses incurred by Lender in the adjustment and collection of Insurance Proceeds shall become part of the Debt and be secured by the Loan Documents and shall be reimbursed by Borrower upon demand. In the event of a Casualty with respect to the Property in excess of $100,000 if each of the following is true at all times: (A) the Insurance Proceeds, together with any funds deposited with Lender by Borrower, are sufficient to pay for the Restoration as determined by Lender; (B) after such Restoration, the Property will adequately secure the outstanding balance of the Loan; (C) no Default or Event of Default exists; (D) less than one percent (1%) of the total floor area of the income producing Improvements has been substantially damaged, destroyed, or rendered unusable as a result of the Casualty; (E) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earlier of (i) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, or (ii) twelve (12) months after the occurrence of the Casualty; (F) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements; (G) Guarantors provide Lender with a completion guaranty covering such Restoration on terms and conditions acceptable to Lender; (H) the Casualty does not result in the loss of access to the Property or the Improvements located thereon in any material respect, and (I) Borrower complies with any other reasonable conditions imposed by Lender, then, the Insurance Proceeds shall be deposited with Lender and after reimbursement of any expenses incurred by Lender, such Insurance Proceeds shall be maintained and applied to pay for the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding the Property or part thereof subject to the Casualty (“Restoration”), in the manner set forth herein. The Borrower hereby covenants and agrees to commence and diligently prosecute such Restoration; provided that: (A)

36

Borrower shall pay all costs (and if required by Lender, Borrower shall deposit the total thereof with Lender in advance) of such Restoration in excess of the net Insurance Proceeds made available pursuant to the terms hereof; (B) the Restoration shall be done in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements; (C) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than thirty (30) days after settlement with the applicable insurance carrier regarding the Insurance Proceeds arising from the Casualty) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion; (D) the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements, including any applicable Environmental Laws; and (E) Lender shall have received evidence satisfactory to Lender that, during the period of the Restoration, the sum of (x) income derived from the Property, as reasonably determined by Lender, plus (y) proceeds of rent loss insurance or business interruption insurance, if any, to be paid, plus (z) any excess funds deposited by Borrower, will equal or exceed the sum of (1) expenses in connection with the operation of the Property, (2) the required payments of principal and interest on the Loan, and (3) the other payments required pursuant to this Agreement or the Loan Documents.

(b) Except as provided above in Section 6.1.2(a), the Insurance Proceeds collected upon any Casualty shall be deposited with Lender and at Lender’s option (in its sole discretion), be applied to the payment of the Debt after reimbursement of any expenses incurred by Lender or, if Lender so elects (without any obligation to do so), after reimbursement of any expenses incurred by Lender, Lender or Servicer shall hold such amount and such proceeds shall be maintained and applied in accordance with the Loan Documents to pay for the cost of any Restoration in the manner set forth herein. Any such application to the Debt shall be without any Yield Maintenance Amount except if an Event of Default has occurred. Any such application to the Debt shall be at Lender’s sole discretion, except as specifically provided herein to the contrary, and shall be applied to those payments of principal and interest (including the Additional Fee) last due under the Note or as otherwise determined by Lender and shall not postpone or reduce any payments otherwise required pursuant to the Note and the other Loan Documents or otherwise determined by Lender.

(c) In the event Borrower is entitled to reimbursement out of Insurance Proceeds held by Lender, such Insurance Proceeds shall be disbursed from the Lender from time to time (but not more than once per month) upon Lender being furnished with: (i) evidence satisfactory to Lender of the estimated cost of completion of the Restoration; (ii) evidence satisfactory that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other Liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property arising out of the Restoration which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the Title Insurance Company; (iii) sufficient funds, or at Lender’s option, assurances satisfactory to Lender that such funds are available, in addition to the Insurance Proceeds, to complete the proposed Restoration; (iv) such architect’s certificates, waivers of Lien, contractor’s sworn statements, title insurance endorsements, bonds, plats of survey and such other evidences of cost, payment and performance as Lender may reasonably require and approve; and (v) all plans and specifications for such Restoration, such plans and specifications to be delivered and approved by Lender prior to commencement of any work.

37

(d) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and, if required by Lender, by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender. Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, Licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the general contractor engaged in the Restoration, as well as the general contract under which it has been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Insurance Proceeds available for the Restoration, including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, shall be deducted by Lender from such Insurance Proceeds.

(e) In addition, 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 Insurance Proceeds shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such Insurance Proceeds; and at all times, the undisbursed balance of such Insurance Proceeds 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. Any surplus which may remain out of Insurance Proceeds after payment of such costs of Restoration shall be applied to the Loan in such order and manner as Lender may elect.

Section 6.1.3 Condemnation.

(a) Borrower shall promptly give Lender written notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding against the Property or any part thereof or the Improvements or any part thereof (a “Condemnation”) and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served by or on or received by any of the Borrower Parties in connection with such Condemnation. Following the occurrence of a Condemnation, Borrower, regardless of whether a sufficient Award is available, shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property to the extent practicable to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such Condemnation, all to be effected in accordance with all Legal Requirements; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to repair, replace or restore any equipment or personal property located on the Property or rebuild any portion of the Improvements that is intended to be demolished pursuant to the renovation plan approved by Lender; provided, however, that in all events Borrower shall be required to repair, replace or rebuild the exterior walls of the existing Improvements and any other structural components that were not intended to be demolished, to the same or better condition existing as of the date hereof and, provided further, that in no event shall Borrower be entitled or permitted to reduce the gross or usable square footage of the Improvements as of the date hereof.

(b) Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect, receive and retain any award or payment (“Award”) for any taking accomplished through a Condemnation and to make any compromise or settlement in connection with such Condemnation, subject to the provisions of this Section. Notwithstanding any taking in connection with a Condemnation by any public or quasi-public authority (including any transfer made in lieu of or in

38

anticipation of such a Condemnation), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for in the Note and the other 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. Borrower shall cause any Award that is payable to Borrower to be paid directly to Lender.

(c) The proceeds of any Award collected upon any Condemnation shall be deposited directly with Lender pursuant to Section 6.1.3(b) and at Lender’s option (in its sole discretion), shall be applied to the payment of the Debt (after reimbursement of any expenses incurred by Lender) or, if Lender so elects (without any obligation to do so), (after reimbursement of any expenses incurred by Lender), Lender or Servicer shall hold such amount and such proceeds shall be maintained and applied in accordance with the Loan Documents to pay for the cost of any Restoration in the manner set forth herein. Any such application to the Debt shall be without any Yield Maintenance Amount so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists. Any such application to the Debt shall be at Lender’s sole discretion and shall be applied to those payments of principal and interest (including the Additional Fee) last due under the Note or as otherwise determined by Lender and shall not postpone or reduce any payments otherwise required pursuant to the Note and the other Loan Documents. 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 shall be recoverable or shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive all or a portion of said Award sufficient to pay the outstanding balance of the Debt.

(d) In the event Borrower is entitled to reimbursement out of the Condemnation Proceeds held by Lender, such Condemnation Proceeds shall be disbursed from Lender from time to time (but not more than once per month) upon Lender being furnished with: (i) evidence satisfactory to Lender of the estimated cost of completion of the Restoration; (ii) evidence satisfactory that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other Liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property, arising out of the Restoration which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the Title Insurance Company; (iii) sufficient funds, or at Lender’s option, assurances satisfactory to Lender that such funds are available, in addition to the Condemnation Proceeds, to complete the proposed Restoration; (iv) such architect’s certificates, waivers of Lien, contractor’s sworn statements, title insurance endorsements, bonds, plats of survey and such other evidences of cost, payment and performance as Lender may reasonably require and approve; and (v) all plans and specifications for such Restoration, such plans and specifications to be delivered and approved by Lender prior to commencement of any work.

(e) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and, if required by Lender, by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender. Lender shall have the use of

39

the plans and specifications and all permits, Licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the general contractor engaged in the Restoration, as well as the general contract under which it has been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Condemnation Proceeds available for the Restoration, including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, shall be deducted by Lender from such Condemnation Proceeds.

(f) In addition, 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 Condemnation Proceeds shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such Condemnation Proceeds; and at all times, the undisbursed balance of such Condemnation Proceeds 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. Any surplus, which may remain out of the Condemnation Proceeds after payment of such costs of Restoration, shall be applied to the Loan in such order and manner as Lender may elect.

Section 6.2 Tax and Insurance Escrows. In the event Lender determines that Borrower has insufficient funds to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums due prior to the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates and (b) one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies for the succeeding annual period 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 (all amounts in clauses (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund”). The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund and the payments of interest or principal or both, payable pursuant to the Note, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender in immediately available funds. Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.4 and under the other Loan Documents provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax Lien or title or claim thereof. Borrower shall arrange for any such bills, statements or estimates to be delivered to Lender at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the date any such payment is due. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.4, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or, at Lender’s option, credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower, or at Lender’s option, may be deducted from the Loan payoff amount. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow

40

Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay the items set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to delinquency of the Taxes and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be.

(xix) the discovery of any significant Hazardous Substances in, on or about the Property subsequent to the Closing Date.

43

Section 7.2 Remedies.

(a) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may take such action, without notice, demand presentment, protest or other requirements of any kind (all of which are expressly waived by Borrower), as Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights and remedies against Borrower or any of them and/or any Borrower Party and in and to the Property or any part thereof, including the following actions, each of which may be pursued concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine, in its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender:

(i) declare the entire Debt to be immediately due and payable; provided, however, if any Event of Default as described in Section 7.1(a)(vi) shall occur, the entire unpaid Debt shall be automatically due and payable without any further notice, demand or other action by Lender;

(ii) institute proceedings, judicial or otherwise, or take any other action, for the enforcement of Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents or at law or in equity, including, without limitation, exercise any of the rights or remedies specified in Article X of the Security Instrument or any other provision of the Security Instrument;

(iii) apply any sums then deposited with Lender or with any Servicer or other third party under the control of Lender and any other sums held in escrow or otherwise by Lender, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents to the payment of the Debt in such order of payment as Lender shall elect;

(iv) pursue such other rights and remedies as may be available at law (including all those granted to a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code), or in equity, including the right to receive and/or establish a lockbox for any Rents, proceeds from the Intangibles (as defined in the Security Instrument) and any other receivables or rights to payments of Borrower relating to the Property;

(v) if and to the extent permitted by applicable law and with or without actual or threatened waste to the Property, Lender shall, at Lender’s sole, absolute and unfettered option and discretion, be entitled, and is hereby expressly and irrevocably authorized, upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, without notice to Borrower, or any other party (any and all such notice being waived hereby) and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the Debt or the solvency of Borrower or any other party liable for payment of the Debt, to appoint a receiver(s), on an emergency basis or otherwise (and if allowed by applicable law, on an ex parte basis), to take possession of and to operate the Property or any portion thereof. Borrower irrevocably waives all notice of and defenses and objections to the appointment of such receiver. Borrower further irrevocably agrees that the occurrence of any Event of Default per se would create an emergency and the necessity for immediate actions;

(vi) pursue any other right or remedy allowed by any Loan Document or applicable law;

(vii) institute an action, suit or proceeding in equity for the specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement contained in the Loan Documents;

44

(viii) recover judgment on the Note either before, during or after any proceedings for the enforcement of the Loan Documents;

(ix) pay, perform or cause the performance of (provided that Lender shall have no obligation to do so) any covenant or obligation under the Loan Documents, including completing the construction of any Improvements on the Property; and

(x) exercise all or any one or more of the rights, powers and other remedies available to Lender against any Borrower Party under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity, at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any portion of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceedings or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents and with respect to the Property, including exercising all or any one or more of the rights, powers and remedies available to Lender under the Guaranty of Recourse Obligations.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan, shall accrue at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any notice, grace or cure periods contained herein. Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then due). To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents. This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default; the acceptance of any payment by Lender shall not be deemed to cure or constitute a waiver of any Event of Default; and Lender retains its rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Debt upon the happening of any Event of Default, despite any payments made to Lender after the occurrence of such Event of Default.

(c) Lender may resort to any remedies and the security given by any of the Loan Documents in whole or in part, and in such portions and in such order as determined by Lender in its sole discretion. No such action shall in any way be considered a waiver of any rights, benefits or remedies evidenced or provided by the Note, the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents. The failure of Lender to exercise any right, remedy or option provided in any of the Loan Documents shall not be deemed a waiver, modification, amendment or estoppel of such right, remedy or option or of any covenant or obligation evidenced or secured by the Note, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents. No acceptance by Lender of any payment after the occurrence of any Event of Default and no payment by Lender of any obligation for which Borrower is liable hereunder shall be deemed to waive or cure any Event of Default, or Borrower’s liability to pay such obligation. No sale of all or any portion of the Property, no forbearance on the part of Lender, and no extension of time for the payment of the whole or any portion of the Debt or any other indulgence given by Lender to Borrower, shall operate to release or in any manner affect the interest of Lender in the remaining Property or the liability of Borrower to pay the Debt. No waiver by Lender shall be effective unless it is in writing signed by Lender and then only to the extent specifically stated.

45

(d) With respect to Borrower and the Property, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to the Property or any portion thereof for the satisfaction of any of the Debt, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the Property or any part thereof or decline to do so, in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion. In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Security Instrument in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Security Instrument then due and payable as determined by Lender in Lender’s sole and absolute sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Security Instrument to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose the Security Instrument to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Security Instrument as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Security Instrument to secure payment of sums secured by the Security Instrument and not previously recovered.

(e) Additionally, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default or if any Borrower Party fails to make any payment or to do any act as required in any of the Loan Documents, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on any Borrower Party and without releasing any Borrower Party from any obligation under the Loan Documents, make or do the same in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Lender is authorized to enter upon the Property on one or more occasions for such purposes or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property or to foreclose the Loan Documents or collect the Debt, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements to the extent permitted by law), with interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note) for the period after notice from Lender that such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Lender, shall constitute a portion of the Debt, shall be secured by the Loan Documents and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand.

(f) 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 of Lender. 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 Security Instrument to the extent necessary to foreclose on all or any portion of the Property, any Rents or any other collateral.

46

Section 7.3 Right of Entry. In addition to any other rights or remedies granted under this Agreement, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Lender and its agents shall have the right to enter and inspect the Property at any reasonable time during the term of the Loan. The cost of such inspections or audits, including the cost of all follow up or additional investigations or inquiries deemed reasonably necessary by Lender, shall be borne by Borrower. The cost of such inspections, if not paid for by Borrower following demand, may, at Lender’s option, be added to the principal balance of the sums due under the Note and shall bear interest thereafter until paid at the Default Rate.

Section 7.4 Costs of Enforcement. In the event of the (i) exercise of any remedy by Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or following the occurrence of an Event of Default, (ii) foreclosure of any deed of trust or mortgage which is prior to or subsequent to the Security Instrument in which proceeding Lender is made a party, (iii) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, rehabilitation, liquidation or other similar proceeding in respect of any Borrower Party or an assignment by any Borrower Party for the benefit of its creditors, (iv) enforcement of any obligations of or collection of any payments due from any Borrower Party under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Property, or (v) incurring of any costs or expenses by Lender in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out”, then Borrower, its successors or assigns, shall pay to Lender on demand any and all expenses, including legal expenses and attorneys’ fees, incurred or paid by Lender in connection therewith or in protecting Lender’s interest in the Property or in collecting any amount payable hereunder or in enforcing Lender’s rights hereunder with respect to the Property, whether or not any legal proceeding is commenced hereunder or thereunder and whether or not any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date paid or incurred by Lender until such expenses are paid by Borrower; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.

Section 7.5 Violation of Legal Requirements. If the Property is not in compliance in all material respects with one, some or all of the Legal Requirements, Lender may impose additional requirements upon the Borrower in connection therewith including, without limitation, monetary reserves or financial equivalents.

Section 7.6 Remedies Cumulative. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower or any of the Borrower Parties pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. Any and all amounts collected or retained by Lender after an Event of Default has occurred, including interest at the Default Rate, late charges or any escrowed amount, may be applied by Lender to payment of the Debt in any order or priority that Lender in its sole discretion may elect.

47

Section 7.7 No Waiver. No Borrower Party shall be relieved or released from their respective Obligations by reason of (i) the failure of Lender to comply with any request of any Borrower Party to take any action to enforce any of the provisions of the Loan Documents, (ii) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Property, or of any Person liable for the Debt or any portion thereof, or (iii) any agreement or stipulation by Lender extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of the Loan Documents (except as set forth therein). Lender may take action to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Lender thereafter to recover against the Property under the Loan Documents. The rights of Lender under each of the Loan Documents shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision of any Loan Document to the exclusion of any other provision. Lender shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in equity. Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) to the maximum extent allowed by 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 Lender’s remedies against the Property and the Security Instrument has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.

(b) The provisions of this Article IX shall not, however, (i) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (ii) impair the right of Lender to name the Borrower or any other Person as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Security Instrument provided no money judgment is sought against them (except as otherwise provided in this Article IX); (iii) affect the validity or enforceability of any guaranty, including without limitation, the Guaranty of Recourse Obligations or the Environmental Indemnity each of which was executed and delivered 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 Assignments of Leases; (vi) prevent the Lender from seeking and obtaining a deficiency judgment against Borrower or any other Person potentially liable therefor or taking any other action or seeking and obtaining any other judgment or remedy against Borrower or any other Person in order to (A) fully realize on the security granted by the Security Instrument or any other Loan Document or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against the Property or any portion thereof, or (B) preserve Lender’s claims or causes of action or right to proceed under or recover the full amounts guaranteed under the Guaranty of Recourse Obligations; (vii) prohibit Lender from taking any action to perfect the Liens and security interests granted or created under or pursuant to the Loan Documents in the Property or other collateral; or (viii) prohibit Lender from taking any action (including seeking a money judgment) to enforce the personal liability of Borrower or any other Person to the extent set forth in Sections 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4.

Section 9.2 Partial Recourse.

To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that Borrower is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law and this indemnification provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent allowed by law. Any amounts payable to Lender by reason of the application of this Section 10.1 shall be secured by the Loan Documents and shall become immediately due and payable and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of demand until paid. The obligations and liabilities of Borrower under this Section 10.1 shall survive termination, satisfaction, or assignment of this Agreement, the repayment of the Debt and the exercise by Lender of any of its rights or remedies hereunder, including the acquisition of the Property by foreclosure or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure. WITHOUT LIMITATION TO THE FOREGOING, BORROWER HEREBY AGREES TO DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LOSSES, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, COURT COSTS AND LEGAL OR OTHER EXPENSES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES) WHICH LENDER MAY INCUR AS A DIRECT OR INDIRECT CONSEQUENCE OF: (A) THE GRANTING OF A PLEDGE OR LIEN ON THE PROPERTY OR ANY INTEREST THEREIN OR LENDER’S ENFORCING LENDER’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UNDER THE SECURITY INSTRUMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; (B) THE COMPLIANCE OF THE PROPERTY AND EACH PORTION THEREOF WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENT; (C) THE PURPOSE TO WHICH BORROWER APPLIES THE LOAN PROCEEDS; (D) FAILURE OF BORROWER TO PERFORM, OR TO CAUSE ANY OTHER BORROWER PARTY TO PERFORM, ANY OBLIGATIONS AS AND WHEN REQUIRED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; (E) ANY FAILURE AT ANY TIME OF ANY OF BORROWER’S REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES TO BE TRUE AND CORRECT; OR (F) ANY ACT OR OMISSION BY BORROWER OR ANY BORROWER PARTY, CONSTITUENT PARTNER OR MEMBER OF BORROWER, ANY CONTRACTOR, SUBCONTRACTOR OR MATERIAL SUPPLIER, ENGINEER, ARCHITECT OR OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY WITH RESPECT TO ANY PORTION OF THE PROPERTY.

Borrower shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses (including attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in the investigation, defense, and settlement of Losses incurred in correcting any prohibited transaction or in the sale of a prohibited loan,

Upon written request by any Indemnified Party, Borrower shall defend such Indemnified Party (if requested by any Indemnified Party, in the name of the Indemnified Party) by attorneys and other professionals reasonably approved by the Indemnified Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any of the Indemnified Parties may, in their sole and absolute discretion, engage their own attorneys and other professionals to defend or assist them, and, at the option of Indemnified Parties, their attorneys shall control the resolution of claim or proceeding. Upon demand, Borrower shall pay or, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Indemnified Parties, reimburse, the Indemnified Parties for the payment of the reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, engineers, environmental consultants, laboratories and other professionals in connection therewith; provided, however, that all of the Indemnified Parties shall be defended by one firm of attorneys unless Lender in good faith determines that more than one law firm should be retained because of conflicts of interest or potential conflicts of interest.

Section 10.4 Changes in Laws Regarding Taxation. If any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this Agreement which deducts the Debt from the value of the Property for the purpose of taxation or which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Debt or Lender’s interest in the Property, Borrower will pay such tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. In the event Lender is advised by counsel chosen by Lender that the payment of such tax or interest and penalties by Borrower would be unlawful or taxable to Lender or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury, then in any such event, Lender shall have the option, by written notice of not less than one hundred twenty (120) days, to declare the Debt immediately due and payable.

Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including such indemnitee’s attorneys’ fees and expenses) 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.

(a) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay to Lender upon receipt of written notice from Lender all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender and/or Servicer in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for the Borrower Parties (including any opinions requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Property); (ii) the ongoing performance of and compliance with the respective agreements and covenants of the Borrower Parties contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (iii) Lender’s ongoing performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including Lender’s administration and servicing of the Loan; (iv) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters requested by Lender; (v) securing compliance with any requests made by any Borrower Party pursuant to any provision of any of the Loan Documents; (vi) the filing and recording of the Loan Documents, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vii) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting any Borrower Party, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Property, or any other security given for the Loan; (viii) costs incurred by Lender in the review of easements, lot line agreements or similar matters, the review and approval of or consent to Leases and the negotiation of subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements, and other similar items required by Borrower in connection with Borrower’s use and enjoyment of the Property; (ix) costs incurred by Lender in responding to any subpoena or participating in, observing or preparing for any deposition or other legal or quasi-legal process; and (x) the amounts described in Section 7.4. Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender shall be payable within ten (10) Business Days of demand, shall be secured by the Loan Documents, and if not paid when due, shall bear interest at the Default Rate until paid.

60

(b) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay Lender and/or Servicer within ten (10) Business Days after demand all reasonable costs and expenses including Professional Fees, paid by Lender in connection with or as a consequence of any Default or Event of Default under the Loan Documents, any utility costs, ground lease payments or any other costs which Lender determines in the exercise of its sole and absolute discretion are necessary for the operation of the Property or for the protection of the value thereof (“Protective Advances”). Each Borrower Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that all Protective Advances shall be secured by the Loan Documents and shall be part of the Debt. The foregoing shall be payable by Borrower to Lender or Servicer, as the case may be, with or without the filing of any legal action or proceeding, and shall include any reasonable fees and expenses (including Professional Fees) incurred in (i) any bankruptcy proceeding of any Borrower Party; (ii) the collection of the Debt, (iii) the enforcement of Lender’s rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, or enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting the Property, any Borrower Party, the Loan Documents or any other security given for the Loan or the Property; (iv) the payment of any transfer taxes in connection with the exercise of Lender of its right under the Security Instrument; (v) curing any defaults under the Loan Documents in accordance with the Loan Documents; and (vi) any other payment which is permitted or designated as a Protective Advance by any other provision of the Loan Documents. All Protective Advances made by Lender under the Loan Documents shall be evidenced by, and be deemed to be advanced as principal under, the Note, regardless of whether any such Protective Advance causes the principal balance of the Note to exceed the face amount thereof, and shall be due and payable on demand. The failure to reimburse the Lender for a Protective Advance within five (5) days after demand shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

Section 12.10 Relationship of Borrower and Lender. The relationship between Borrower and Lender is solely that of debtor and creditor, and Lender has no fiduciary or other special relationship with Borrower, and no term or condition of any of the Note, the Security Instrument, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed so as to deem the relationship between Borrower and Lender to be other than that of the debtor and creditor relationship established pursuant to the Loan Documents. The relationship of Borrower and Lender is created and governed solely by the Loan Documents.

61

Section 12.11 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

(a) Any provision herein or in any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Lender, by virtue of its acceptance of this Agreement and the making of the Loan or any approval rights Lender may have herein or in any of the Loan Documents shall not be deemed to constitute Lender a mortgagee-in-possession, tenant-in-common, or in control of, or a partner or joint venturer with, or insider (within the meaning of Section 101(31) of the Bankruptcy Code) of, any Borrower Party or any other Person; and Borrower shall indemnify Lender against, shall hold Lender harmless from, and shall reimburse Lender for, any and all claims, demands, judgments, penalties, fines, liabilities, costs, damages and expenses, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Lender (whether incurred in connection with nonjudicial action, prior to trial, at trial, or on appeal or review) in any action against or involving Lender resulting from such a construction of the Loan Documents.

(b) Any inspection of the Property, any review or approval of any plans, contracts, subcontracts (including environmental reviews, audits, assessments and/or reports relating to the Property), and review or approval of budgets, expenses or obligations or any analysis of the Property made by Lender or any of its agents, architects or consultants is intended solely for the benefit of Lender and shall not be deemed to create or form the basis of any warranty, representation, covenant, implied promise or liability to Borrower or any of their employees or agents, any guest or invitee upon the Property, or to any other Person.

(c) Except as otherwise provided in Article VIII hereof, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and any Servicer appointed by Lender and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender, the Servicer appointed by Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained in the Loan Documents. Except as otherwise provided in Article VIII hereof, all conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

Section 12.12 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by the Borrower Parties or their Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents or to Lender, or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 12.13 Subrogation. If any or all of the proceeds of the Note have been used to extinguish, extend or renew any Indebtedness heretofore existing against the Property or any part thereof, then, to the extent of the funds so used and to the extent permitted by law, Lender shall be subrogated to all of the rights, claims, Liens, titles, and interests existing against the Property or any

62

part thereof heretofore held by, or in favor of, the holder of such Indebtedness and such former rights, claims, Liens, titles, and interests, if any, are not waived but rather are continued in full force and effect in favor of Lender and are merged with the Lien and security interest created herein as cumulative security for the repayment of the Debt, the performance and discharge of the Obligations.

Section 12.14 Duplicate Originals; Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of duplicate originals and each duplicate original shall be deemed to be an original. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed an original instrument and all of which together shall constitute one agreement. The failure of any party hereto to execute this Agreement, or any counterpart hereof, shall not relieve the other signatories from their obligations hereunder.

Section 12.15 Liability. If Borrower consists of more than one Person, the obligations and liabilities of each Person hereunder shall be joint and several irrespective of whether a particular Borrower is primarily responsible for such obligation or liability. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns forever.

Section 12.16 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, including any term sheets, discussion outlines or commitment letters (as same may be amended) between any of the Borrower Parties and Lender are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 12.17 No Usury. Any provision herein, in any Loan Document or any other document executed or delivered in connection with the Loan, or in any other agreement or commitment, whether written or oral, expressed or implied, to the contrary notwithstanding, Lender shall not in any event be entitled to receive or collect, nor shall or may amounts received hereunder be credited, so that Lender shall be paid, as interest, a sum greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law to be charged to the Person primarily obligated to pay the Debt and the Obligations at the time in question. If any construction of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other document executed or delivered in connection herewith, indicates a different right given to Lender to ask for, demand or receive any larger sum as interest, such is a mistake in calculation or wording which this clause shall override and control, it being the intention of the Borrower and Lender that this Agreement, any other Loan Document and any other documents executed in connection herewith conform strictly to applicable usury laws. In no event shall the amount treated as the total interest exceed the maximum amount of interest which may be lawfully contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by Lender in accordance with the applicable usury laws, taking into account all items which are treated as interest under applicable law, computed in the aggregate over the full term of the Loan evidenced hereby. In the event that the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under applicable law that is taken, reserved, contracted for, charged or received under this Agreement, any other Loan Document and any other documents executed in connection herewith shall ever exceed the maximum nonusurious rate under applicable law, any sum in excess thereof shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of the Debt and the Obligations, and if the Debt and the Obligations are paid in full, any remaining excess shall be paid to Borrower. In determining

63

whether or not the interest paid or payable, under any specific contingency, exceeds the maximum nonusurious rate under applicable law, if any, the Borrower and Lender shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (a) characterize any nonprincipal amount as an expense or fee rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, or (c) “spread” the total amount of interest throughout the entire term of the Debt and the Obligations so that the interest rate is uniform throughout the entire term of the Debt and the Obligations; provided, however, that if the Debt and Obligations are paid and performed in full prior to the end of the full contemplated term thereof, and if the interest received for the actual period of existence thereof exceeds the maximum nonusurious rate, if any, Lender shall refund to Borrower the amount of such excess.

Section 12.18 Construction. Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed or resolved against Lender by virtue of the fact that this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents has originated with Lender as drafter. Borrower acknowledges that Borrower has reviewed this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and has had the opportunity to consult with counsel on same. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall therefore be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to fairly accomplish the purposes and intentions of the parties to the Loan Documents. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender.

Section 12.19 Lender’s Discretion. Whenever pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, Lender may approve or disapprove any act (or any action) or any document, delivery or other item, or where Lender’s consent or approval is required in any respect or where any document or other item must be satisfactory to Lender, except in those specific instances where Lender has specifically agreed not to unreasonably withhold Lender’s consent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory or to grant or withhold consent shall be in the sole, absolute and unfettered discretion of Lender, without any express or implied obligation of reasonableness or good faith whatsoever and shall be final and conclusive. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that in no circumstance shall Borrower have any claim or cause of action, in contract or in tort, against Lender as a result of the granting or withholding of any such consent or approval. The inclusion of references to Lender’s sole or absolute discretion in any particular provisions of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents shall not limit or affect the applicability of this Section to all provisions of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, including those provisions wherein a specific reference to Lender’s sole and absolute discretion is not made. Without limiting the preceding provisions of this Section, in the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or in bad faith or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where, by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or in good faith or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender, Servicer nor their agents or employees shall be liable for any monetary damages (including any special, consequential or punitive damages whatsoever), whether in contract, tort (including negligence and strict liability) or any other legal or equitable principles, and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be limited to commencing

64

an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably or in good faith shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.

Section 12.20 Lender. The rights of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are in addition to all of the rights of Lender or any Affiliate of Lender may now or hereafter have by virtue of any ownership, directly or indirectly, in Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower. In acting as Lender pursuant to this Agreement or the Loan Documents, Borrower acknowledges that Lender shall owe no duties of any kind to Borrower or any other Person (other than those specifically stated in the Loan Documents) on account of such role of Lender or any Affiliate of Lender or by virtue of any ownership interest in Borrower or such Affiliates (directly or indirectly) or otherwise, and there shall be no limitations on Lender’s rights or remedies or Lender’s ability to act solely in Lender’s best interests or in Lender’s discretion, notwithstanding the role of Lender or any such Affiliate of Lender may have by virtue of any ownership interest in Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to Lender under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire (directly or indirectly) in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. No assignee of any of Lender’s rights with respect to the Loan or the Loan Documents shall be prejudiced or affected by the status of Lender or any such Affiliate of Lender as a member, partner, stockholder or other owner of Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower or any actions taken or not taken by Lender or its Affiliates prior to the assignment to the then current Lender and upon any such assignment, such assignee shall be in the same position as if such assignee had originated the Loan itself as of the date of such assignment and shall not be subject to any offsets, counterclaims or defenses to which Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. or any other Person which may from time to time be the “Lender” hereunder or their respective Affiliates might be subject. Borrower acknowledges that Lender and its Affiliates engage in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments, which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.

Section 12.21 Limitation on Liability. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Borrower agrees that none of Lender, Servicer or their agents or employees shall be liable to Borrower for any monetary damages (including any special, consequential or punitive damages whatsoever), whether in contract, tort (including negligence and strict liability) or any other legal or equitable principle and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be limited to commencing an action for specific performance.

Section 12.22 Intentionally Omitted.

Section 12.23 Appointment of Servicer and Delegation of Lender Rights. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that at the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/trustee (the “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing

65

agreement between Lender and Servicer; provided, however, such delegation will not release Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents. Borrower shall be responsible for paying to Servicer (or to Lender, in the event no Servicer is appointed) on each Payment Date a monthly servicing fee equal to $2,500.00 per month. Borrower shall also be responsible for the payment of all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Servicer and/or Lender in connection with the Loan (including the review and approval of or consent to Leases and the negotiation of subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements, property inspections, casualty or condemnation matters or in connection with any Default or Event of Default). Any action or inaction taken by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement and the Loan Documents shall be binding to the same extent as if taken by Lender, and Borrower shall be entitled to rely on all actions and directions given by Servicer with respect to all matters concerning the Loan and Loan Documents unless and until Borrower receives contrary written instructions from the Lender.

Section 12.24 Delay Outside Lender’s Control. Lender shall not be liable in any way to Borrower or any third party for Lender’s failure to perform or delay in performing under the Loan Documents (and Lender may suspend or terminate all or any portion of Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents) if such failure to perform or delay in performing results directly or indirectly from, or is based upon, the action, inaction, or purported action, of any Governmental Authority, or because of war, rebellion, insurrection, strike, lock-out, boycott or blockage (whether presently in effect, announced or in the sole judgment of Lender deemed probable), or from any Act of God or other cause or event beyond Lender’s control.

This Note is secured by, among other things, that certain Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Financing Statement dated of even date herewith, executed by Borrower in favor of Lender (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Instrument”). All capitalized terms used in the Note and not otherwise defined in Section 1.10 hereof or elsewhere in this Note shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Loan Agreement (as hereinafter defined), all of the terms of the Loan Agreement being hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Note by reference for all purposes.

1. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL, INTEREST AND ADDITIONAL FEE.

1.1 Payments. The principal, interest and all other sums due under this Note shall be payable at the office of Lender as set forth above, or at such other place as Lender may from time to time designate in writing, as follows:

(a) Commencing on the first (1st) day of March, 2007 and continuing on the first (1st) day of each and every successive month thereafter or, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day (each, a “Payment Date”) through and including the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay monthly installments of interest on the outstanding principal balance of this Note as of such Payment Date at the Applicable Interest Rate for the Interest Period in which such Payment Date or Maturity Date occurs. Interest on the outstanding principal amount of this Note for the period commencing on the date hereof through and including February 28, 2007 shall be paid by Borrower on the date hereof.

(b) Subject to Section 1.11 hereof, the entire outstanding principal balance of this Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest and any other amounts due under this Note (including, without limitation, the Additional Fee) and the other Loan Documents shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

(c) Intentionally Omitted.

(d) All amounts due under this Note shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim or any other deduction whatsoever.

(e) The Additional Fee shall be deemed earned in full as of the date of this Note and shall be payable upon the earliest to occur of the date of prepayment hereof, the Maturity Date or the occurrence of an Event of Default. In the event of a partial prepayment permitted or required hereunder or under the Loan Agreement, such partial prepayment shall be accompanied by a partial payment of the Additional Fee in an amount equal to the product of the Additional Fee times a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the partial principal prepayment and the denominator of which is the maximum principal amount of this Note.

(f) Additionally, payments shall be made on this Note as required by the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

1.2 Interest. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall accrue at the Applicable Interest Rate from the date hereof to the end of the Interest Period in which the Maturity Date occurs. Adjustments to the Applicable Interest Rate in connection with changes in the LIBOR Rate (or the Treasury Rate, if applicable) shall be made on the first day of each Interest Period (“Interest Rate Adjustment Date”).

1.3 Computation. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate equal to the Applicable Interest Rate divided by three hundred sixty (360) by (c) the outstanding principal balance of this Note. In computing the number of days during which interest accrues, the day on which funds are advanced shall be included regardless of the time of day such advance is made, and the day on which funds are repaid shall be included unless repayment is credited prior to Lender’s close of business.

1.4 Determination. Each determination of an Applicable Interest Rate by Lender pursuant to any provision of this Note shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower absent manifest error. Payments under this Note or any other Loan Document made in federal funds immediately available in the place designated for payment which are received by Lender prior to 2:00 p.m. local time at said place of payment shall be considered by Lender as having been received prior to close of business, while other payments may, at the option of Lender, not be credited until immediately available to Lender in federal funds in the place designated for payment prior to 2:00 p.m. local time at said place of payment on a day on which Lender is open for business.

1.5 Making of Payments. Each payment by Borrower hereunder or under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made in funds settled through the New York Clearing House Interbank Payments System or other funds immediately available to Lender on the date such payment is due to Lender, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all such notices being hereby waived and without setoff, counterclaim or other deduction of any nature. Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day such payment shall be made on the next following Business Day.

2

1.6 Application. Prior to an Event of Default and except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Documents, payments under this Note shall be applied first, to the payment of late fees and other costs and charges due in connection with this Note, as Lender determines in its sole discretion, second, to the payment of interest on the outstanding principal balance of this Note, and third, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan (in inverse order of maturity whether or not then due) and to the payment of the Additional Fee as provided in Section 1.1(e) hereof. After an Event of Default, payments under this Note shall be applied as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No principal amount repaid may be reborrowed.

1.7 Additional Costs; Alternate Interest Rate. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if (i) on any date on which the LIBOR Rate would otherwise be set, Lender shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate, or (ii) at any time Lender shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that the making, maintenance or funding of any part of the Loan based on the LIBOR Rate has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by Lender in good faith with any law or guideline or interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or with any request or directive of any such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law); then and in any such event, Lender may notify Borrower of such determination (any such notice being referred to herein as a “Treasury Rate Notice”) which Treasury Rate Notice shall be given to Borrower by telephone at least one (1) Business Day prior to the last day of the related Interest Period, with a written confirmation of such determination promptly thereafter. If Lender gives Borrower a Treasury Rate Notice, the obligation of Lender to charge interest to Borrower at the LIBOR Rate shall be suspended until Lender shall have later notified Borrower of Lender’s determination in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that the circumstances giving rise to such previous determination no longer exist as provided below. If Lender gives Borrower a Treasury Rate Notice, the LIBOR Rate shall automatically be converted to the sum of the Treasury Rate plus the LIBOR To Treasury Spread (such sum being the “Adjusted Treasury Rate”), and commencing on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period, this Note shall bear interest at a rate of interest per annum equal to the greater of (i) the Adjusted Treasury Rate from time to time, as determined by Lender, plus the Margin, and (ii) the Eurodollar Rate in effect at the time Lender delivers the Treasury Rate Notice (such rate being referred to herein as the “Alternate Interest Rate”), provided, however, that in no event shall the Alternate Interest Rate be deemed to be less than eight and one-half percent (8.50%). This Note shall continue to bear interest at the Alternate Interest Rate until Lender determines that the Eurodollar Rate can be determined in accordance with the provisions of this Note and gives notice to the Borrower by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, as soon as reasonably practical, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day prior to the last day of the then current Interest Period. If such notice is given, this Note shall bear interest at such Eurodollar Rate commencing on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Borrower have the right to elect to have the Loan bear interest at either the Eurodollar Rate or the Alternate Interest Rate.

3

1.8 Capital Adequacy. If Lender determines that compliance with any law or regulation or with any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental agency (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by Lender, or any corporation controlling Lender, as a consequence of, or with reference to, Lender’s or such corporation’s commitments or its making or maintaining advances below the rate which Lender or such corporation controlling Lender could have achieved but for such compliance (taking into account the policies of Lender or such corporation with regard to capital), then Borrower shall, from time to time, within thirty (30) days after written demand by Lender, pay to Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate Lender or such corporation controlling Lender to the extent that Lender determines such increase in capital is allocable to Lender’s obligations hereunder. A certificate as to such amounts, submitted to Borrower by Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

1.9 Indemnification. Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any actual loss or expense which Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (I) any default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on this Note while bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate, including, without limitation, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the Eurodollar Rate, (II) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of this Note on a day that (A) is not a Payment Date or (B) is a Payment Date if Borrower did not give the prior written notice of such prepayment required pursuant to the terms of this Note, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the Eurodollar Rate hereunder and (III) the conversion of the Applicable Interest Rate from the Eurodollar Rate to the Alternate Interest Rate pursuant to Section 1.7 on a date other than a Payment Date, including, without limitation, such loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the Eurodollar Rate hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (I), (II) and (III) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”). This provision shall survive payment of this Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

1.10 Definitions. In addition to other terms defined elsewhere in this Note, as used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Additional Fee” shall mean the amount of $301,443.76.

“Business Day” shall mean a day on which commercial banks are not authorized or required by law to close in the State of New York.

“Eurodollar Rate” shall mean, with respect to any Interest Period, an interest rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus three and one-half percent (3.50%) per annum; provided, however, in no event shall the Eurodollar Rate be deemed to be less than eight and one-half percent (8.50%).

4

“Holdback Advances” shall mean any advances of the Interest Holdback, the ComEd Holdback or the WCR Holdback made by Lender pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement.

“Interest Period” shall mean the calendar month; provided, however, that with respect to the Payment Date occurring in March, 2007, the Interest Period shall be the period commencing on the date hereof to and including February 28, 2007.

“LIBOR Business Day” shall mean any day upon which United States dollar deposits may be dealt in on the London and the New York interbank markets and on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets are open in London and New York City.

“LIBOR Rate” shall mean with respect to each Interest Period, the quoted offered rate for one-month United States dollar deposits with leading banks in the London interbank market that appears on Dow Jones Market Services (formerly Telerate) page 3750 (or the successor thereto) (“Page 3750”) (provided that at least two offered rates appear on Page 3750)) as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the date which is two (2) LIBOR Business Days prior to the relevant Interest Rate Adjustment Date (“LIBOR Determination Date”). If as of such time on any LIBOR Determination Date, no quotation is given on such Page 3750, then the Lender shall establish LIBOR on such LIBOR Determination Date by requesting four Reference Banks meeting the criteria set forth herein to provide the quotation offered by its principal London office for making one-month United States dollar deposits with leading banks in the London interbank market as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such LIBOR Determination Date. If two or more Reference Banks provide such offered quotations, then the LIBOR Rate for the next Interest Period shall be the arithmetic mean of such offered quotations. If only one or none of the Reference Banks provides such offered quotations, then the LIBOR Rate for the next Interest Period shall be the Reserve Rate.

“Reserve Rate” shall mean the rate per annum which Lender determines to be the arithmetic mean (rounded upwards if necessary to the nearest whole multiple of 1/1,000%) of the one-month United States dollar lending rates that at least three major New York City banks selected by Lender are quoting, at 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the relevant LIBOR Determination Date, to the principal London offices of at least two of the Reference Banks. In the event that at least two such rates are not obtained, Reserve Rate shall mean the lowest one-month United States dollar lending rate which New York City banks reasonably selected by Lender are quoting as of 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on such LIBOR Determination Date to leading European banks.

1.11 Payment on Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of this Note, all accrued and unpaid interest hereon and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

2. DEFAULT.

2.1 Late Fee. If any sum payable under this Note or any other Loan Document is not paid on or before the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5.0%) of such unpaid sum or, if prohibited or restricted by Legal Requirements, the maximum amount permitted by applicable law to defray the expenses incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment and such amount shall be secured by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.

2.2 Remedies. The entire outstanding principal sum of this Note, together with all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other sums due under this Note, the Security Instrument, or any of the other Loan Documents, or any portion thereof, including without limitation, any amounts described in Section 12.9 of the Loan Agreement shall without notice become immediately due and payable at the option of Lender upon the occurrence of any Event of Default including without limitation, an Event of Default resulting from a Transfer in violation of the terms of the Loan Agreement. Time is of the essence in this Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents. All of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents are hereby made part of this Note to the same extent and with the same force as if they were fully set forth herein. If Borrower’s obligations under this Note or any of the other Loan Documents are enforced by Lender through an attorney-at-law, or any payment due under this Note or the other Loan Documents is collected by or through an attorney-at-law or collection agency, Borrower agrees to pay all costs incurred by Lender in connection therewith, including, but not limited to, fees and disbursements of legal counsel (whether with respect to a retained firm or Lender’s in-house staff), collection agency costs, whether or not suit be brought, and any and all costs or fees arising as a result of the filing of or during the course of any case under any Bankruptcy Laws with respect to any of the Borrower Parties.

2.3 Default Rate. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall be entitled to receive and Borrower shall pay interest on the entire unpaid principal sum at the Applicable Interest Rate plus five percent (5.0%) per annum (the “Default Rate”). The Default Rate shall be automatically computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the actual receipt and collection of this Note in full or, if permitted by Lender, the date such Event of Default is cured. This charge shall be added to this Note, and shall be deemed secured by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents. This clause, however, shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of this Note or any other sums payable under the Loan Documents, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default. In the event the Default Rate would otherwise exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, the Default Rate shall be the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

2.4 Post-Judgment. Interest shall accrue on any judgment obtained by Lender in connection with the enforcement or collection of this Note or the other Loan Documents (including foreclosure of the Security Instrument) until such judgment amount is irrevocably paid in full at a rate equal to the greater of (a) the Default Rate or (b) the highest legal rate applicable to judgments within such jurisdiction; provided, however, that interest shall not accrue at a rate in excess of the maximum rate of interest, if any, which may be charged by Lender or collected from Borrower under applicable law.

2.5 Remedies Cumulative. The remedies available to Lender under this Note and in the other Loan Documents, or at law or in equity, shall be cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued singly, successively or together in Lender’s sole discretion and as often as occasion therefor shall arise.

3. PREPAYMENT.

3.1 Prepayment. The principal balance of this Note may not be prepaid in whole or in part before March 1, 2008 (the “Lockout Date”) unless each of the following conditions has been satisfied: (i) no Event of Default has occurred, (ii) written irrevocable notice of such prepayment specifying the intended date of prepayment is received by Lender not more than sixty (60) days and not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date of such prepayment, (iii) such prepayment is accompanied by all interest accrued hereunder and all other sums due hereunder or under the other Loan Documents through the date of prepayment, (iv) such prepayment includes all Breakage Costs, if any, (v) such prepayment includes all other sums then due under this Note, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (vi) if such prepayment occurs before the Lockout Date (whether through the application of any Required Payments (other than Casualty/Condemnation Involuntary Prepayments), voluntary prepayment, acceleration or otherwise), such prepayment includes the Yield Maintenance Amount and (vii) such prepayment includes the Additional Fee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, any notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable and the principal balance of the Note, or such portion thereof which is being repaid, shall be absolutely and unconditionally due and payable on the date specified in any notice given pursuant to this Section 3.1 unless Borrower (i) revokes such notice of prepayment in writing at least five (5) days prior to the date designated as the prepayment date in such notice of prepayment, and (ii) pays all of Lender’s costs and expenses incurred related to such prospective prepayment, including, without limitation, any Breakage Costs. No principal amount repaid may be reborrowed. At such time as the outstanding principal balance of this Note has been reduced to zero, there shall be no further disbursements of the Interest Holdback, the ComEd Holdback or the WCR Holdback and Borrower shall be deemed to have waived any further right to requisition, request or otherwise receive any Holdback Advances.

3.2 Mandatory Prepayments Resulting From Casualty and Condemnation. The Loan is subject to mandatory prepayment (unless otherwise agreed to by Lender) in certain instances of Casualty and Condemnation (each, a “Casualty/Condemnation Involuntary Prepayment”), in the manner and to the extent set forth in the Loan Agreement. Each Casualty/Condemnation Involuntary Prepayment shall be made in accordance with the Loan Agreement. On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Borrower actually receives any Insurance Proceeds and/or Condemnation Proceeds or sooner, if requested by Borrower, if and to the extent Lender is not obligated to make such Insurance Proceeds and/or Condemnation Proceeds available to Borrower for the Restoration of the Property, Borrower shall prepay (without any Yield Maintenance Amount but subject to the payment of the applicable Additional Fee) the outstanding principal balance of this Note in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Insurance Proceeds and/or Condemnation Proceeds. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such prepayment shall be applied, (a) first, to interest on the outstanding principal balance of this Note accrued at the Applicable Interest Rate on the amount prepaid through and including the date of prepayment, (b) second, to Breakage Costs, if any, and any other sums due under this Note, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents and (c) third, toward the outstanding principal balance of this Note.

3.3 Prepayment Upon Default. If following the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender shall accelerate the Loan, in addition to all other amounts payable under this Note or any of the other Loan Documents (which amounts shall include all amounts payable under Section 3.1), Borrower shall also pay to Lender the Additional Fee and, if such prepayment occurs prior to the Lockout Date, the Yield Maintenance Amount. If Borrower shall tender payment of an amount sufficient to satisfy the Debt at any time prior

8

to a sale of the Property or any part thereof, either through foreclosure or the exercise of the other remedies available to Lender under the Loan Documents, such tender by Borrower shall be deemed to be voluntary and Borrower shall pay all amounts due and payable under the Loan Documents, including without limitation, the Additional Fee the Yield Maintenance Amount (if applicable) and any other amounts described in this Section 3.

4. SECURITY. The indebtedness evidenced by this Note is governed by the Loan Agreement and the obligations created hereby (including without limitation the amounts authorized by Section 2 to be collected by Lender and the Additional Fee and the Yield Maintenance Amount) are secured by, among other things, the Security Instrument and other Loan Documents.

5. EXCULPATION. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, the liability of Borrower to pay this Note and for the performance of the other agreements, covenants and obligations contained herein and in the other Loan Documents shall be limited as set forth in Article IX of the Loan Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by this reference.

6. GENERAL.

6.1 Written Amendment Only. This Note may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of Borrower or Lender, but only by an agreement in writing signed by Borrower and Lender.

6.2 Certain Waivers. Except for any notices specifically required by the Loan Agreement, Borrower and all others who may become liable for the payment of all or any part of the Debt do hereby severally waive presentment and demand for payment, notice of dishonor, protest and notice of protest, notice of non-payment and notice of intent to accelerate the maturity hereof (and of such acceleration). No release of any security for the Loan or extension of time for payment of this Note or any installment hereof, and no alteration, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Note or the other Loan Documents made by agreement between Lender and any other Person shall release, modify, amend, waive, extend, change, discharge, terminate or affect the liability of Borrower, or any other Person who may become liable for the payment of all or any part of the Debt, under this Note and the other Loan Documents. Lender may release any guarantor or indemnitor of the Loan from liability, in every instance without the consent of Borrower hereunder, and without waiving any rights the Lender may have hereunder, the other Loan Documents or by virtue of the laws of the State in which the Property is located or any other state of the United States.

6.3 Severability. If any provision or obligation under this Note and the other Loan Documents shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severed from the Loan Documents and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations shall remain in full force as though the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been a part of the Loan Documents.

In the event that at any time any payment received by Lender hereunder shall be deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been a voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other debtor relief law, then the obligation to make such payment shall survive any cancellation or satisfaction of this Note or return thereof to Borrower and shall not be discharged or satisfied with any prior payment thereof or cancellation of this Note, but shall remain a valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof, and such payment shall be immediately due and payable upon demand.

6.6 Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors, successors-in-title and permitted assigns, whether by voluntary action of the parties or by operation of law.

§ 5.1.2 The Contractor’s Fee is equal to one and seven-tenths percent (1.7%) of the Cost of the Work. Owner and Contractor may, in the future, agree to state the Contractor’s Fee as a fixed amount, in which case the Contractor’s Fee shall be established in a Change Order entered into between Owner and Contractor.

(State a lump sum, percentage of Cost of the Work or other provision for determining the Contractor’s Fee, and describe the method of adjustment of the Contractor’s Fee for changes in the Work.)

§ 5.2 GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE

Such maximum sum is referred to in the Contract Documents as the “Guaranteed Maximum Price” or “GMP.” Costs which would cause the Guaranteed Maximum Price to be exceeded shall be paid by the Contractor without reimbursement by the Owner.

The parties acknowledge that one component of the GMP is the Guaranteed Maximum Cost of the Contractor’s General Conditions. The “Guaranteed Maximum Cost of the Contractor’s General Conditions” is Three Million Eighty-Eight Thousand Three Hundred Ninety-Eight and No/100 Dollars ($3,088,398.00) and is the limit of Contractor’s compensation on account of all Work not performed by Subcontractors or supplied through Purchase Orders executed directly by Contractor or assigned by Owner to Contractor, including, without limitation, the cost of performing Work with the Contractor’s own forces (except any trade Work performed by Contractor’s own forces or by an Affiliate in accordance with the requirements of Section 10.4 below), equipment supplied by Contractor, job site supervision, vehicles, office supplies, field office trailers and furniture, phones, home office management and overhead, travel expenses, and insurance. A list of key aspects (but not necessarily all) of the Work to be performed as the Contractor’s General Conditions Work is set forth in Exhibit 5.2.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and for the avoidance of doubt: (a) the Guaranteed Maximum Cost of the Contractor’s General Conditions is guaranteed by the Contractor not to exceed Three Million Eighty-Eight Thousand Three Hundred Ninety-Eight and No/100 Dollars ($3,088,398.00), subject to additions and deductions by Change Order and Change Directive as provided in the Contract Documents; (b) Costs which would cause the Guaranteed Maximum Cost of the Contractor’s General Conditions to be exceeded shall be paid by the Contractor without reimbursement from Owner; and (c) Contractor shall, with respect to the Cost of the Contractor’s General Conditions, have obligations to retain records and cooperate with audits as required under Article 11 hereof. Furthermore, in the event the Cost of the Contractor’s General Conditions is less than the Guaranteed Maximum Cost of the Contractor’s General Conditions, then the

3

difference, as of the date of final completion, between the total aggregate sum of the Cost of the Contractor’s General Conditions and the Guaranteed Maximum Cost of the Contractor’s General Conditions shall be added to the Savings (as defined below) that will be shared by the Owner, the Contractor, the mechanical Subcontractor, and the electrical Subcontractor pursuant to this Section 5.2.1.

In an effort to achieve the highest level of performance in regards to cost, schedule, and quality, the Owner has established a performance incentive program as described in this paragraph in which the mechanical Subcontractor and the electrical Subcontractor have the opportunity to share in the cost savings of the respective subcontracts between the mechanical Subcontractor and the Contractor and the electrical Subcontractor and the Contractor (respectively, the “Mechanical Subcontract” and the “Electrical Subcontract”). Provided that: (x) the Work is finally complete, including, without limitation, successful level 4 testing and level 5 commissioning of all electrical and mechanical equipment, to allow for the occupancy and convenient and beneficial use by one (1) or more of Owner’s tenants of Computer Room #’s 1—16, with 18.2 MW of Critical Load Power, redundantly served and with associated cooling, on or before May 15, 2008, (y) the Work is performed in a manner satisfactory to Owner and in accordance with the Contract Documents, and (z) the Overall Project Savings (hereinafter defined) are equal to or greater than the Savings (hereinafter defined), then the difference, as of the date of final completion of the Work, between (i) the guaranteed maximum price under the Mechanical Subcontract upon final completion of the Work and the total aggregate sum of the cost of the work plus the Subcontractor’s fee under the Mechanical Subcontract (such difference, the “Mechanical Savings”) and (ii) the guaranteed maximum price under the Electrical Subcontract upon final completion of the Work and the total aggregate sum of the cost of the work plus the Subcontractor’s fee under the Electrical Subcontract (such difference, the “Electrical Savings”) (the Mechanical Savings and the Electrical Savings, collectively, the “Savings”) shall be shared by the Owner, the mechanical Subcontractor and the electrical Subcontractor as follows: TWENTY-FIVE percent (25%) of the Savings shall be paid as a “Performance Incentive Bonus” in the manner set forth below, and the remainder shall inure to the benefit of the Owner; provided, however, that the mechanical and electrical Subcontractors shall not be entitled to receive the Performance Incentive Bonus until the date of final payment to the Contractor. Election of Alternates generated by Owner that reduce the GMP shall not be considered as Savings to the Owner and shall not be subject to the foregoing provision regarding sharing, but cost reductions resulting from value engineering Alternates generated by the mechanical Subcontractor and/or the electrical Subcontractor after acceptance of the GMP and approved by Owner shall qualify as Savings to Owner. The Performance Incentive Bonus shall be shared among the mechanical Subcontractor and the electrical Subcontractor in a manner jointly determined by the Owner and Contractor; provided that the electrical Subcontractor’s share of the Performance Incentive Bonus shall not exceed TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($200,000.00) and the mechanical Subcontractor’s share of the Performance Incentive Bonus shall not exceed ONE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($150,000.00).

ARTICLE 10 SUBCONTRACTS AND OTHER AGREEMENTS

§ 10.1 Those portions of the Work that the Contractor does not customarily perform with the Contractor's own personnel shall be performed under subcontracts or by other appropriate agreements with the Contractor. The Owner may designate specific persons or entities from whom the Contractor shall obtain bids. The Contractor shall obtain bids from Subcontractors and from suppliers of materials or equipment fabricated especially for the Work and shall deliver such bids to the Architect. The Owner shall then determine, with the advice of the Contractor and the Architect, which bids will be accepted. The Contractor shall not be required to contract with anyone to whom the Contractor has reasonable objection.

§ 10.2 Owner and Contractor acknowledge and agree that Contractor will require each Subcontractor that is a party to a subcontract with a subcontract sum greater than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) (each such subcontract, a “Major Subcontract”) to obtain performance and payment bonds: (i) from a surety reasonably acceptable to Owner and Owner’s lender, (ii) on forms reasonably acceptable to Owner and Owner’s lender, (iii) in amounts equal to the total subcontract sum, and (iv) that name Owner and Owner’s lender (if requested by Owner’s lender) as obligees under such bonds. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, with respect to the performance and payment bonds (the “MEP Subcontractor Bonds”) to be obtained by the electrical Subcontractor and the mechanical Subcontractor (the “MEP Subcontractors”), the amounts of such MEP Subcontractor Bonds shall not include any amounts paid, or to be paid, by the MEP Subcontractors, as applicable, for major mechanical, electrical, and plumbing equipment (the “Major MEP Equipment”) to be incorporated into the Project pursuant to the respective subcontracts between each MEP Subcontractor and the Contractor. The amounts expended, or to be expended, by the MEP Subcontractors for the Major MEP Equipment are listed in Exhibit 10.2.1 attached hereto and made a part hereof. Further notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Owner and Contractor agree that Contractor will not require those Subcontractors listed on Exhibit 10.2.2 attached hereto and made a part hereof to obtain performance or payment bonds for those items listed on Exhibit 10.2.2.

§ 10.3 Subcontracts or other agreements shall conform to the applicable payment provisions of this Agreement, and shall not be awarded on the basis of cost plus a fee without the prior consent of the Owner.

§ 10.4 Except for the performance of the Contractor’s General Conditions Work or as otherwise agreed in writing by both parties hereto, the Contractor must competitively bid any trade Work that the Contractor wishes to perform with the Contractor’s own forces, or through an Affiliate, and shall obtain no less than two (2) additional responsive bids from responsible Subcontractors acceptable to the Owner. The Contractor, or an Affiliate, shall be permitted to perform such trade Work only if (i) the Owner in its sole discretion consents thereto in writing after full disclosure in writing by the Contractor to the Owner of the affiliation or relationship of Affiliate to the Contractor, (ii) the Owner approves in writing any subcontract, contract, purchase order, agreement, or other arrangement between the Contractor and such Affiliate in form and substance, and (iii) the Contractor has given due consideration to any applicable MBE/WBE and EEO requirements. The parties contemplate that the Contractor will competitively bid to perform certain trade Work for the Project. In the event Contractor is the low bidder and performs any such trade Work with its own forces or through an Affiliate, then Owner shall pay Contractor for Contractor’s performance of such trade Work on either (i) the basis of a fixed price, or (ii) a cost plus fee basis, in which event Contractor shall be permitted to charge as an item of the Cost of the Work, ten percent (10%) of the Contractor’s actual cost of performing such trade Work, which amount shall be the full and complete compensation for any overhead, profit, or other form of markup or fee as a general contractor for such trade Work (the “Trade Work Payment Options”). Owner and Contractor shall use commercially reasonable, good faith efforts to agree on which Trade Work Payment Option shall be used to pay for any trade Work performed by Contractor prior to the date on which the Guaranteed Maximum Price shall be determined under Section 5.2.1 hereof. In the event Owner and Contractor agree that Owner shall pay Contractor for Contractor’s performance of any trade Work under this Section 10.4 on a cost plus fee basis, then Contractor shall, with respect to the cost of such trade Work, have obligations to retain records and cooperate with audits as required under Article 11 hereof. Any trade Work performed by the Contractor’s own forces or by an Affiliate, if required by the Owner, shall be covered in a separate agreement between the Owner and the Contractor or the Affiliate. Such agreement shall, without limitation, satisfy all requirements for subcontracts as set forth in Subparagraph 5.3.1 of the General Conditions. The term “Affiliate” is hereby deemed to mean any

8

entity related to or affiliated with the Contractor or in which the Contractor has direct or indirect ownership or control, including, without limitation, (i) any entity owned in whole or in part by the Contractor; (ii) any entity with more than a thirty percent (30%) interest in the Contractor; and (iii) any entity in which any officer, director, employee, partner, or shareholder of the Contractor, or any Affiliate, has a direct or indirect interest.

§ 10.5 Owner and Contractor acknowledge and agree that Contractor will directly purchase certain mechanical, electrical and/or plumbing equipment to be incorporated into the Project, which equipment is in addition to the Major MEP Equipment purchased, or to be purchased, by the MEP Subcontractors. Contractor shall be responsible for conferring and coordinating with the MEP Subcontractors to determine what equipment will be purchased directly by Contractor and what equipment will be Major MEP Equipment purchased by the MEP Subcontractors. Owner will pay Contractor for the equipment purchased directly by Contractor pursuant to this Section 10.5 in amounts equal to the cost of such equipment plus a 1.5% procurement fee, and such amounts shall be considered part of the Cost of the Work and included in the GMP.

ARTICLE 11 ACCOUNTING RECORDS

§ 11.1 The Contractor shall keep full and detailed accounts and exercise such controls as may be necessary for proper financial management under this Contract, and the accounting and control systems shall be satisfactory to the Owner. The Owner and the Owner's accountants shall be afforded access to, and shall be permitted to audit and copy, the Contractor's records, books, correspondence, instructions, drawings, receipts, subcontracts, purchase orders, vouchers, memoranda and other data relating to this Contract, and the Contractor shall preserve these for a period of three years after final payment, or for such longer period as may be required by law.

§ 11.2 All records shall be maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting procedures, consistently applied. Subcontractors retained by the Contractor on a “cost-plus” basis shall have the same obligations to retain records and cooperate with audits as are required of the Contractor under this Article 11. If any inspection by the Owner of the Contractor’s records, book, correspondence, instructions, drawings, receipts, vouchers, memoranda, and any other data relating to the Contract Documents reveal an overcharge, including, without limitation, any untimely request for payment as described in Paragraph 13.3, the Contractor shall pay the Owner upon demand the amount of the overcharge, and if the overcharge is the result of gross negligence or intentional misconduct, an additional amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of such overcharge, as reimbursement for the administrative expenses incurred in determining the overcharge. The requirements of this Article 11 shall not apply to any portion of an overcharge that is the subject of a good-faith dispute between the Owner and the Contractor.

ARTICLE 12 PAYMENTS

§ 12.1 PROGRESS PAYMENTS

§ 12.1.1 (a) Based upon Applications for Payment submitted to the Architect by the Contractor and Certificates for Payment issued by the Architect, the Owner shall make progress payments on account of the Contract Sum to the Contractor as provided below and elsewhere in the Contract Documents.

(b) If required by the Owner, on or before the 20^th day of each month, the Contractor will submit, and the Owner, the Architect, and the Contractor shall meet to review, a preliminary draft of Contractor’s next Application for Payment (“Draft Application”) prepared by the Contractor. The Contractor shall revise the Draft Application to address any objection or recommendation of either the Owner or the Architect that is consistent with the requirements of the Contract Documents. Such revised Draft Application shall be submitted by the Contractor to the Owner as the Application for Payment on the dates required by the Contract Documents for submission of same. The Contractor shall also submit with each Application for Payment a written narrative describing the basis for any item set forth in the Application for Payment that does not conform to instructions of the Owner or the Architect in connection with any applicable Draft Application.

§ 12.1.2 The period covered by each Application for Payment shall be one calendar month ending on the last day of the month, or as follows:

N/A

§ 12.1.3 Provided that an Application for Payment is received by the Owner not later than the 25^th day of a month (and subject to the other terms of the Contract Documents), the Owner shall make payment to the Contractor not later than the 30th day of the following month. If an Application for Payment is received by the Architect after the application date fixed above, payment shall be made by the Owner not later than forty-five (45) days after the Owner receives the Application for Payment.

9

§ 12.1.4 With each Application for Payment, the Contractor shall submit payrolls, petty cash accounts, receipted invoices or invoices with check vouchers attached, and any other evidence required by the Owner to demonstrate that cash disbursements already made by the Contractor on account of the Cost of the Work equal or exceed (1) progress payments already received by the Contractor; less (2) that portion of those payments attributable to the Contractor's Fee; plus (3) payrolls for the period covered by the present Application for Payment. In addition to other required items, each Application for Payment shall be accompanied by the following, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Owner and in compliance with applicable statutes of the State of Illinois:

(i) A duly executed and acknowledged Contractor’s Sworn Statement showing all Subcontractors with whom the Contractor has entered into subcontracts, the amount of each such subcontract, the amount requested for any Subcontractor in the Application for Payment, and the amount to be paid to the Contractor from such progress payment, together with similar sworn statements from all Subcontractors and, where appropriate, from lower tier subcontractors;

(ii) Duly executed waivers of mechanics’ and material suppliers’ liens from the Contractor and all such Subcontractors, establishing payment or satisfaction of the payment requested by the Contractor in the Application for Payment; and

(iii) Such other information, documentation, and materials as the Owner of the Architect may require.

§ 12.1.5 Each Application for Payment shall be based on the most recent schedule of values submitted by the Contractor, and approved by the Owner and Architect, in accordance with the Contract Documents. The schedule of values shall allocate the entire Guaranteed Maximum Price among the various portions of the Work, except that the Contractor's Fee and the Contractor’s General Conditions Work shall be shown as separate items. The schedule of values shall be prepared in such form and supported by such data to substantiate its accuracy as the Architect may require. This schedule, when approved by the Owner and Architect as required by the Contract Documents, shall be used as a basis for reviewing the Contractor's Applications for Payment.

§ 12.1.6 Applications for Payment shall show the percentage of completion of each portion of the Work as of the end of the period covered by the Application for Payment. The percentage of completion shall be the lesser of (1) the percentage of that portion of the Work which has actually been completed; or (2) the percentage obtained by dividing (a) the expense that has actually been incurred by the Contractor on account of that portion of the Work for which the Contractor has made or intends to make actual payment prior to the next Application for Payment by (b) the share of the Guaranteed Maximum Price allocated to that portion of the Work in the schedule of values.

§ 12.1.7 Subject to other provisions of the Contract Documents, the amount of each progress payment shall be computed as follows:

.1 take that portion of the Guaranteed Maximum Price properly allocable to completed Work, other than the Contractor’s General Conditions, as determined by multiplying the percentage of completion of each portion of the Work by the share of the Guaranteed Maximum Price allocated to that portion of the Work in the Schedule of Values. Pending final determination of cost to the Owner of changes in the Work, amounts not in dispute shall be included as provided in Section 7.3.8 of AIA Document A201-1997;

.2 add that portion of the Guaranteed Maximum Price properly allocable to materials and equipment delivered and suitably stored at the site for subsequent incorporation in the Work, or if approved in advance by the Owner, suitably stored off the site at a location agreed upon in writing;

.3 add the Contractor’s Fee and the portion of the Contractor’s General Conditions Work calculated in accordance with the Schedule of Values for such Work submitted in accordance with the Contract Documents. The Contractor’s Fee shall be computed based upon the Cost of the Work described in the two preceding Clauses at the rate stated in Section 5.1.2 or, if the Contractor’s Fee is stated as a fixed sum in that Subparagraph, shall be an amount that bears the same ratio to that fixed-sum fee as the Cost of the Work in the two preceding Clauses bears to a reasonable estimate of the probable Cost of the Work upon its completion;

10

.4 subtract the aggregate of previous payments made by the Owner;

.5 subtract the shortfall, if any, indicated by the Contractor in the documentation required by Section 12.1.4 to substantiate prior Applications for Payment, or resulting from errors subsequently discovered by the Owner’s accountants in such documentation; and

.6 subtract amounts, if any, for which the Architect has withheld or nullified a Certificate for Payment as provided in Section 9.5 of AIA Document A201-1997.

§ 12.1.8 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, payments to each Subcontractor shall be subject to retainage as reasonably agreed to between Owner and Contractor. As of the date hereof, Owner and Contractor have agreed to retainage amounts for certain Subcontractors as set forth in Exhibit 12.1.8 attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Subcontractor Retainage List”). Contractor shall periodically (at least once a month) update the Subcontractor Retainage List to reflect retainage amounts agreed to between Owner and Contractor for additional Subcontractors and, if applicable, Sub-subcontractors. Owner and Contractor shall agree upon a mutually acceptable procedure for review and approval of payments and retention for Subcontractors and, if applicable, Sub-subcontractors.

§ 12.1.9 In taking action on the Contractor’s Applications for Payment, the Owner and Architect shall be entitled to rely on the accuracy and completeness of the information furnished by the Contractor.

§ 12.2 FINAL PAYMENT

§ 12.2.1 Final payment, constituting the entire unpaid balance of the Contract Sum, shall be made by the Owner to the Contractor when:

.1 the Contractor has fully performed the Contract (including the Contractor’s obligation to correct Work then identified as defective or non-conforming) but excluding the Contractor's responsibility to correct Work not then identified as defective or non-conforming as provided in Section 12.2.2 of AIA Document A201-1997, and to satisfy other requirements, if any, which extend beyond final payment; and

.2 a final Certificate for Payment has been issued by the Architect and approved by the Owner and Architect as required by the Contract Documents.

§ 12.2.2 The Owner’s final payment to the Contractor shall be made no later than 30 days after the issuance and approval of the Architect's final Certificate for Payment, or as follows:

§ 12.2.3 The Owner’s accountants will review and report in writing on the Contractor’s final accounting within 30 days after delivery of the final accounting to the Architect by the Contractor. Based upon such Cost of the Work as the Owner's accountants report to be substantiated by the Contractor's final accounting, and provided the other conditions of Section 12.2.1 have been met, the Architect will, within seven days after receipt of the written report of the Owner’s accountants, either issue to the Owner a final Certificate for Payment with a copy to the Contractor, or notify the Contractor and Owner in writing of the Architect's reasons for withholding a certificate as provided in Section 9.5.1 of the AIA Document A201-1997. The time periods stated in this Section 12.2.3 supersede those stated in Section 9.4.1 of the AIA Document A201-1997.

§ 12.2.4 If the Owner’s accountants report the Cost of the Work as substantiated by the Contractor’s final accounting to be less than claimed by the Contractor, the Contractor shall be entitled to invoke mediation and the dispute resolution provisions of the Contract Documents in relation to the disputed amount without a further decision of the Architect. Such demand for mediation shall be made by the Contractor within 30 days after the Contractor’s receipt of a copy of the Architect’s final Certificate for Payment; failure to demand mediation within this 30-day period shall result in the substantiated amount reported by the Owner's accountants becoming binding on the Contractor. Pending a final resolution by litigation or other legal process, the Owner shall pay the Contractor the amount certified in the Architect’s final Certificate for Payment.

11

§ 12.2.5 If, subsequent to final payment and at the Owner’s request, the Contractor incurs costs described in Article 7 and not excluded by Article 8 to correct defective or nonconforming Work, the Owner shall reimburse the Contractor such costs and the Contractor's Fee applicable thereto on the same basis as if such costs had been incurred prior to final payment, but not in excess of the Guaranteed Maximum Price. If the Contractor has participated in savings as provided in Section 5.2, the amount of such savings shall be recalculated and appropriate credit given to the Owner in determining the net amount to be paid by the Owner to the Contractor.

ARTICLE 13 TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION

§ 13.1 The Contract may be terminated by the Contractor, or by the Owner for convenience, as provided in Article 14 of AIA Document A201-1997. However, the amount to be paid to the Contractor under Section 14.1.3 of AIA Document A201-1997 shall not exceed the amount the Contractor would be entitled to receive under Section 13.2 below, except that the Contractor's Fee shall be calculated as if the Work had been fully completed by the Contractor, including a reasonable estimate of the Cost of the Work for Work not actually completed.

§ 13.2 The Contract may be terminated by the Owner for cause as provided in Article 14 of AIA Document A201-1997. The amount, if any, to be paid to the Contractor under Section 14.2.4 of AIA Document A201-1997 shall not cause the Guaranteed Maximum Price to be exceeded, nor shall it exceed an amount calculated as follows:

§ 13.2.1 Take the Cost of the Work incurred by the Contractor to the date of termination;

§ 13.2.2 Add the Contractor’s Fee computed upon the Cost of the Work to the date of termination at the rate stated in Section 5.1.2 or, if the Contractor’s Fee is stated as a fixed sum in that Section, an amount that bears the same ratio to that fixed-sum Fee as the Cost of the Work at the time of termination bears to a reasonable estimate of the probable Cost of the Work upon its completion; and

§ 13.2.3 Subtract the aggregate of previous payments made by the Owner.

§ 13.3 The Owner shall also pay the Contractor fair compensation, either by purchase or rental at the election of the Owner, for any equipment owned by the Contractor that the Owner elects to retain and that is not otherwise included in the Cost of the Work under Section 13.2.1. To the extent that the Owner elects to take legal assignment of subcontracts and purchase orders (including rental agreements), the Contractor shall, as a condition of receiving the payments referred to in this Article 13, execute and deliver all such papers and take all such steps, including the legal assignment of such subcontracts and other contractual rights of the Contractor, as the Owner may require for the purpose of fully vesting in the Owner the rights and benefits of the Contractor under such subcontracts or purchase orders.

§ 13.4 The Work may be suspended by the Owner as provided in Article 14 of AIA Document A201-1997; in such case, the Guaranteed Maximum Price and Contract Time shall be increased as provided in Section 14.3.2 of AIA Document A201-1997 except that the term "profit" shall be understood to mean the Contractor's Fee as described in Sections 5.1.2 and Section 6.4 of this Agreement.
