AMOUNT AND TERMS OF CREDIT

2.1Term Loan Commitment. On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, the Lender agrees to loan to Borrower on the Closing Date the principal sum of Fifty-Eight Million Dollars ($58,000,000) (the “Loan Amount”) which amount has been reduced to Forty-Seven Million Dollars ($47,000,000) (the “Amended Loan Amount”) in connection with the term loan deemed made by Lender to PGRT Equity II LLC as of the date of this Agreement. Amounts repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed under this Agreement.

2.2Note. The Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Lender an amended and restated note to evidence the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Amended Loan Amount together with interest thereon as described herein. The note shall be in the principal amount of the Amended Loan Amount, dated the date of this Agreement, and in the form of Exhibit E (the “Note”).

2.3Reliance on Notices. The Lender shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any certificate notice or other writing believed by the Lender to be genuine. The Lender may assume that each Person executing and delivering such certificate, or other writing was duly authorized, unless the responsible individual acting thereon for the Lender has actual knowledge to the contrary.

2.4Fees. As a material inducement to Lender to make the Loan to Borrower upon the terms set forth herein, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender an exit fee (the “Exit Fee”) equal to $470,000, if the Loan is paid in full within one year of the Closing Date whether by prepayment or otherwise.

2.5 Interest.

(a)Payment Dates. Commencing on ________ 1, 2006 (“First Payment Date”), and continuing on the first Business Day of each and every successive calendar month thereafter (each, a “Payment Date”) through and including the Payment Date immediately prior to the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender monthly payments of accrued interest at the Applicable Interest Rate.

3

(b)Rate of Interest. The Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made until paid in full. The applicable basis for determining the rate of interest shall be selected by Borrower on the Closing Date and thereafter, at the time a Notice of Conversion/Continuation is delivered by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.5(c); provided, however, that (x) Borrower may not select the Eurodollar Rate as the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest on the Loan if at the time of such selection an Event of Default or a Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) the Loan made on the Closing Date shall be a Base Rate Loan. The Loan and other Obligations shall bear interest at the Borrower’s option:

(i)at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Base Rate then in effect plus (B) 1.50% per annum; or

(ii)at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Eurodollar Rate determined for the applicable Eurodollar Interest Period, plus (B) 4.25% per annum.

(c)Conversion or Continuation. Borrower shall have the option (i) to convert at any time the interest rate on all or any part of the outstanding Loan in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount from the Base Rate to the Eurodollar Rate; or (ii) to convert all or any part of the interest rate on the Loan in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount from the Eurodollar Rate to the Base Rate on the expiration date of any Eurodollar Interest Period applicable thereto; or (iii) upon the expiration of any Eurodollar Interest Period, to continue all or any portion of the Loan equal to $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount at the Eurodollar Rate, and the succeeding Eurodollar Interest Period shall commence on the expiration date of the Eurodollar Interest Period applicable thereto; provided, that the interest rate on the Loan may not be continued at, or be converted to, the Eurodollar Rate when any Event of Default or Default has occurred and is continuing.

In the event Borrower shall elect to convert or continue the interest rate on the Loan, Borrower shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to Lender no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the proposed conversion date in the case of a conversion to the Base Rate, and not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, the Eurodollar Rate. A Notice of Conversion/ Continuation shall specify (i) the proposed conversion/continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the amount of the Loan to be converted/continued, (iii) the nature of the proposed conversion/continuation, and (iv) in the case of a conversion to, or continuation of, the Eurodollar Rate, the requested Eurodollar Interest Period. In lieu of delivering the above-described Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Borrower may give Lender telephonic notice of any proposed conversion/continuation by the time required under this Section 2.5(c); provided, that such notice shall be confirmed in writing by delivery to Lender promptly (but in no event later than the proposed conversion/continuation under this Section 2.5(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Borrower has not provided the Lender with written notice that it wishes to convert or continue any portion of the Loan as permitted above, at the end of each Eurodollar

4

Interest Period, interest shall continue to accrue at the Eurodollar Rate and the duration of the subsequent Eurodollar Interest Period with respect to the Loan shall be one (1) month, but in any event, not beyond that of the Maturity Date, and, in the event that the Maturity Date is less than one (1) month from the end of a Eurodollar Interest Period, the interest rate on the Loan shall automatically convert to the Base Rate as of the end of the current Eurodollar Interest Period.

Any Notice of Conversion/Continuation for conversion to, or continuation of, the interest rate (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable.

2.6Maturity. The entire outstanding principal balance of the Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest, and any other amounts due under the Note and the other Loan Documents shall be due and payable on January 10, 2008 (the “Maturity Date”), if not sooner paid in full pursuant to Section 2.7.

2.7 Prepayments; Commitment Reductions.

(a)Voluntary Prepayment. The principal balance of the Note may be prepaid in whole or in part in minimum amounts of $1,000,000, provided that (i) written notice of such prepayment specifying the intended date of prepayment is received by Lender not less than three (3) days prior to the date of such prepayment, (ii) such prepayment must be accompanied by all interest accrued but unpaid hereunder, (iii) such prepayment must also be accompanied by all Breakage Costs, if any, with respect to such prepayment, as determined by Lender, and (iv) if the Debt is being prepaid in full, such prepayment must also be accompanied by the Exit Fee (if any) and all other sums due hereunder or under the other Loan Documents through the date of such prepayment.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments.

(i)Asset Dispositions and Refinancing Proceeds. In the event of receipt by any Loan Party of Asset Disposition Net Proceeds or Refinancing Proceeds (other than proceeds of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness), Borrower shall apply the greater of 90% of such proceeds or, with respect to asset dispositions, the Release Price set forth on Schedule 8.5(a) to prepay the Loan on the Business Day on which such Asset Disposition Net Proceeds or Refinancing Proceeds are received by such Loan Party.

(ii)Casualty. In the event of receipt by any Loan Party of any Loss Proceeds, the Borrower shall prepay the Loan to the extent required by Section 7.3 hereof.

(iii)Issuance of Debt. Borrower shall obtain Lender’s prior written approval prior to the issuance of any Indebtedness other than Permitted Debt, which approval may be withheld by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion. If any Indebtedness shall be issued or incurred by any Loan Party, other than Permitted Debt, Borrower shall cause an amount equal to 100% of the proceeds of such Indebtedness, net

5

of expenses approved by Lender in writing in its sole discretion, to be applied on the date of such issuance or incurrence toward the prepayment of the Loan.

(iv)Borrowing Base. If at any time after the first anniversary of the Closing Date at the end of the first year following the Closing Date, the principal outstanding balance of the Debt plus the outstanding principal balance of the Senior Loans on the Properties shall exceed an amount equal to 80% of the value of the Property adjusted to reflect the impact of any preferred equity investment of the Ohio Teachers’ Retirement Fund calculated as set forth in Section 6.4(b), Borrower shall within thirty days of the receipt of the applicable Borrowing Base Certificate either prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Loan or pledge additional liquid collateral or other collateral in each case acceptable to Lender in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(v)Distributions. If at any time the Borrower makes any distributions other than Distributions made with the proceeds of the Loan, it shall provide Lender with prior written notice of any such Distribution and shall remit to Lender an amount equal to 20% of the amount of any such Distribution which the Lender, in its sole discretion, may apply to prepay the Loan or hold in reserve as cash collateral.

(vi)Debt Service Coverage Ratio. If Borrower is unable to comply with the Debt Service Coverage Ratio prescribed by Section 8.11, Borrower shall either prepay the Loan by an amount that would cure such noncompliance on a pro forma basis for the most recently concluded period of four fiscal quarters or remit to Lender cash collateral in form acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion in such an amount, in either case, within 30 days after such noncompliance is reported or was required to have been reported, whichever first occurs.

(vii)Excess Proceeds of PGRT Equity II LLC. If some or all of the assets securing the Senior Loan to 180 N. LaSalle II LLC are sold or otherwise disposed of, whether through foreclosure, reorganization or otherwise, and proceeds are generated in excess of the amount necessary to pay the Senior Lender in full, Borrower shall prepay the Loan by an amount equal to the amount of such excess proceeds realized.

(c)Prepayment Escrow. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, at Borrower’s option, Lender shall hold in escrow for the benefit of Lender all amounts intended to be applied as prepayments and shall release such amounts upon the next Payment Date for application to prepayment of the Debt (it being understood and agreed that interest shall continue to accrue on the Debt until such time as such prepayments are released from escrow and applied to reduce the Obligations); provided, however, that upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, such escrowed amounts may be applied to the Loan without regard to the Payment Date.

(d)Breakage Costs. Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and protect Lender and to hold Lender harmless from and against any loss or expense which Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (i) any prepayment (whether voluntary or

6

mandatory) of the Loan (A) on a day which is the Payment Date if Borrower did not give the prior written notice of such prepayment required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or (B) on any day that is not the Payment Date, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it based on the Eurodollar Rate and (ii) the conversion (for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of the Applicable Interest Rate to the Base Rate with respect to any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan 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 based on the Eurodollar Rate (the amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”). This provision shall survive payment of the Note in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

2.8Eurodollar Rate. Notwithstanding other provisions of this Agreement, the following provisions shall govern with respect to the Eurodollar Rate:

(a)Determination of Eurodollar Interest Period. By giving notice as set forth in Section 2.5, Borrower shall have the option to specify an interest period (each a “Eurodollar Interest Period”) of either one, two, three, six, nine, twelve or twenty-four months subject to the provisions of Section 7.22 hereof. The determination of Eurodollar Interest Periods shall be subject to the following provisions:

(i)In the case of immediately successive Eurodollar Interest Period, each successive Eurodollar Interest Period shall commence on the day on which the immediately preceding Eurodollar Interest Period expires;

(ii)If any Eurodollar Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, the Eurodollar Interest Period shall be extended to expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, that if any such Eurodollar Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in that month, that Eurodollar Interest Period shall expire on the immediately preceding Business Day;

(iii)Borrower may not select a Eurodollar Interest Period which terminates later than the Maturity Date;

(iv)There shall be no more than five (5) Eurodollar Interest Periods in effect at any one time.

(b)Payment. If any payment of the Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be due on the immediately succeeding Business Day.

(c)Determination of Interest Rate. As soon as practicable after 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Eurodollar Interest Rate Determination Date, Lender shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be presumptively correct) the interest rate which is then being determined for the applicable Eurodollar Interest

7

Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower.

(d)Basis of Calculation. All computations of fees and interest calculated on a per annum basis shall be made by the Lender on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

(e)Interest after Event of Default. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Applicable Interest Rate shall be increased by four percent (4%) per annum above the Applicable Interest Rate (the “Default Rate”). At Lender’s option, the option to select interest at the Eurodollar Rate shall be unavailable to Borrower after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Interest at the Default Rate shall automatically accrue from the initial date of such Event of Default until all Events of Default are cured or waived and shall be payable upon demand. Interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Loan Amount, and shall be deemed secured by the Security Documents and the other Loan Documents.

All payments and prepayments to be made in respect of principal, interest or other amounts due from the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be payable on or before 3:00 p.m., New York time, on the day when due, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, and an action therefor shall immediately accrue. Such payments shall be made to the Lender in funds settled through the New York Clearing House Interbank Payment System or other funds immediately available to Lender on the date such payment is due, at the Lender’s office in New York City, New York or such other location in the United States specified in writing by the Lender, without set off, recoupment, counterclaims or any other deduction of any nature. Payments received after 3:00 p.m., New York time, on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day.

2.10 Application and Allocation of Payments.

(a)As long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all payments shall be applied in the following order: (i) to pay the Lender’s fees and expenses (including late fees and costs of collection and amounts expended in connection with the sale or administration of the Collateral and protective advances pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents), (ii) then to accrued but unpaid interest and (iii) then to reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan. As to all payments made when a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments received from or on behalf of the Borrower, and the Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees that the Lender shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply any and all such payments against the Obligations in such order and manner as the Lender may deem advisable notwithstanding any previous entry by the Lender in any books or records.

8

(b)The Lender is authorized to, and at Lender’s sole election may, charge to the Loan balance on behalf of the Borrower and cause to be paid (W) all fees, expenses, charges, costs (including insurance premiums in accordance with Section 7.2) and interest, other than principal of the Loan, owing by the Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents if and to the extent the Borrower fails to promptly pay any such amounts as and when due, even if such charges would cause the balance of the Loan to exceed the Loan Amount, (X) any Indebtedness of any Loan Party which is in default, is past due or the non-payment of which would allow the holder of such Indebtedness to retain, seize or foreclose on the obligor’s or any other Loan Party’s cash or other assets, (Y) any Indebtedness as to which the holder has become entitled to retain or apply excess cash flow otherwise to be made available to the Borrower, Holdings or their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates, whether due to a failure to satisfy a financial covenant or test or otherwise, and (Z) any other obligation or Indebtedness of any Loan Party pursuant to which any Loan Party has received a notice of default and is not contesting such default in good faith and with reasonable diligence or as to which the creditor has obtained a judgment. At the Lender’s option and to the extent permitted by law, any advances so made shall constitute part of the Loan hereunder, and shall bear interest at the Default Rate plus 4.00% per annum (the “Protective Advance Default Rate”).

(c)The Lender is authorized to, and at Lender’s election may, charge any Deposit Account account or deposit account maintained by Borrower for any payments of principal or interest when due.

2.11Loan Account and Accounting. The Lender shall maintain a loan account (the “Loan Account”) on Lender’s books in which Lender will record all payments made by the Borrower, and all other debits and credits as provided in this Agreement with respect to the Loan or any of the other Obligations. All entries in the Loan Account shall be made in accordance with the Lender’s customary accounting practices as in effect from time to time. The balance in the Loan Account, as recorded on the Lender’s most recent printout or other written statement, shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Borrower, absent manifest error; provided, however, that any failure to so record or any error in so recording shall not limit or otherwise affect the Borrower’s duty to pay the Obligations. Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, the Lender may elect (which election may be revoked) to dispense with the issuance of a Note and may rely on the Loan Account as evidence of the amount of Obligations from time to time owing to it.

2.12 Taxes.

(a)Any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made, in accordance with this Section 2.12, free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on the account of any and all present or future Taxes. If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document (i) the sum payable shall be increased as much as shall be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this

9

Section 2.12) the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum Lender would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing or other authority in accordance with Applicable Law. As promptly as possible, but in any case within fifteen (15) days after the date of any payment of such Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or, if such receipt is not available, other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lender.

(b)Borrower and Guarantor shall jointly and severally indemnify and pay the Lender for the full amount of Taxes (including any Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.12) paid by the Lender and any liability (including, without limitation, penalties, interest, additions thereto and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. The agreements in this Section 2.12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder and shall survive until the statute of limitations with respect to any such Taxes eliminates any requirement to pay such Taxes.

2.13 Capital Adequacy; Increased Costs; Illegality.

(a)If the Lender shall have determined that any law, treaty, governmental (or quasi-governmental) rule, regulation, guideline or order regarding capital adequacy, reserve requirements or similar requirements or compliance by the Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy, reserve requirements or similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law), in each case, adopted after the date hereof, from any central bank or other Governmental Authority increases or would have the effect of increasing the amount of capital, reserves or other funds required to be maintained by the Lender and thereby reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder, then the Borrower shall from time to time upon demand by the Lender pay to the Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Lender for such reduction. A certificate as to the amount of that reduction and showing in reasonable detail the basis of the computation thereof submitted by the Lender to the Borrower shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes. If the Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.13, it shall provide written notice thereof, as soon as reasonably practicable, to Borrower of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

(b)If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in any law or regulation (or any change in the interpretation thereof) or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), in each case adopted after the date hereof, there shall be any increase in the cost to the Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Loan, then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender, pay to the Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Lender for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost showing in reasonable detail

10

the computation thereof submitted to the Borrower by the Lender, shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower for all purposes, absent manifest error. If the Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall provide written notice thereof, as soon as reasonably practicable, to Borrower of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

(c)Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if (i) on any date on which the Eurodollar 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 Eurodollar 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 Eurodollar 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) Borrower’s option to borrower at the Eurodollar Rate shall be suspended.

2.14 Tenant Improvement and Leasing Commission Reserve.

(a)Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date $185,000 (the “Tenant Improvement and Leasing Commission Reserve Monthly Deposit”) which is the amount estimated by Lender in its sole discretion to be used for tenant improvements and leasing commissions during the succeeding calendar year. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Tenant Improvement and Commission Reserve Fund” and the account in which such amounts are held which shall be maintained in an interest bearing account at Citibank shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Tenant Improvement and Commission Reserve Account.” Lender may reassess its estimate of the amount necessary for the Tenant Improvement and Commission Reserve Fund upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Borrower if Lender determines, in its reasonable discretion, that an increase is necessary given the leasing activity on the Properties. Any amount held in the Tenant Improvement and Commission Reserve Account and allocated for an individual Property shall be retained by Lender and credited toward the future Tenant Improvement and Leasing Commission Reserve Monthly Deposit required by Lender hereunder in the event such individual Property is released from the Security Documents in accordance with Section 8.5(a).

(b)Lender shall direct disbursement to Borrower of the Tenant Improvement and Commission Reserve Fund from the Tenant Improvement and Commission Reserve Account upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions: (i) Borrower shall submit a request for payment to Lender at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made and specifies the tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions to be paid for the space; (ii) on the date such request is received by Lender and on the date such payment is to be made, no Default shall exist and remain uncured; (iii) Lender shall have reviewed and, to the extent required hereby, approved the lease in respect of which Borrower is obligated to

11

pay or reimburse certain tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions; (iv) with respect to any Tenant Improvement and Commission Reserve Funds to be released by Lender for tenant improvements or leasing commissions, Lender shall have received an Officer’s Certificate from Borrower (A) stating that the tenant improvements at the Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed in good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, such certificate to be accompanied by a copy of any license, permit or other approval by any Governmental Authority, (B) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the tenant improvements to be funded by the requested disbursement, (C) stating that the tenant improvements will be paid for out of any available reserves maintained as required in any applicable Senior Loan Documents before recourse is requested to the reserves maintained pursuant to this Agreement, and (D) stating that each such Person has been paid in full or will be paid in full with the amounts drawn pursuant to such disbursement, such certificate to be accompanied by lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender. Lender shall not be required to disburse Tenant Improvement and Commission Reserve Funds more frequently than once each calendar month, unless such requested disbursement is in an amount greater than $1,000,000.

No Loan Party has any knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against any Loan Party. Except as listed on Schedule 5.20, no Loan Party has any knowledge of any tenant contemplating the filing of a petition by it under any Bankruptcy Law or the liquidation of all or a major portion of its assets or property. The entering into the Loan Documents to which any Loan Party is a party does not constitute a fraudulent conveyance by any Person, and, except as listed on Schedule 5.20, no petition in bankruptcy has been filed by or against any Loan Party, or any Affiliate of any Loan Party in the last seven (7) years (and, except as listed on Schedule 5.20, no Loan Party or any related entity, 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 Loan Party has entered into the Loan or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor, and each Loan 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 and Senior Loan Documents, the fair saleable value of each Loan Party’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the Senior Loan Documents, exceed such Loan Party’s total liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of each Loan Party’s assets is and will immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and Senior Loan Documents, be greater than such Loan Party’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities or its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Each Loan Party’s assets do not and, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the Senior Loan Documents will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. No Loan Party intends or believes 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).

Each Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to be so qualified and each trust related to such plan has been determined to be exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code. No material liability has been incurred by any Loan Party or any ERISA Affiliate which remains unsatisfied for any taxes or penalties with respect to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan.

38

policy may expire prior to the end of such period; and (iv) in an amount equal to one hundred (100%) percent of the projected gross income from such Property for a period of eighteen (18) months. The amount of such business interruption or loss of rents insurance shall be determined prior to the Closing Date and at least annually thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate (as approved by Lender) of the gross income from such Property for the succeeding eighteen (18) month period. All insurance proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this paragraph shall be treated as Revenues by Lender and, unless otherwise paid to and retained by the Senior Lenders, deposited under the Deposit Account Agreement for application as provided therein; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the Obligations secured hereunder on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note except to the extent such amounts are actually and timely paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance and applied to such Obligations;

(ix)Terrorism coverage in an amount acceptable to Lender; provided, however, if TRIA shall not be renewed, terrorism coverage shall only be required to the extent the cost thereof would not exceed twice the premium paid for such insurance had TRIA been in effect.

(x)To the extent not covered in clauses (i) through (ix) above, such other insurance as may from time to time be reasonably required by Lender in order to protect such Property and Lender’s interests in the Collateral; and

(xi)To the extent not already required by Lender in accordance with the foregoing, Borrower shall, or shall cause each Property Owner to, obtain any additional coverage required by the Senior Lenders in accordance with the Senior Loan Documents.

(d)Borrower shall, or shall cause each Property Owner to, increase the amount of insurance required to be provided hereunder at the time that each such policy is renewed (but, in any event, not less frequently than once during each 12-month period) by using the F.W. Dodge Building Index to determine whether there has been an increase in the replacement cost of the Improvements since the most recent adjustment of any such policy and, if there has been any such increase, the amount of insurance required to be provided hereunder shall be adjusted accordingly. All policies of insurance required pursuant to this Section (collectively, the “Casualty Insurance Policies”) shall: (i) be issued by an insurer having, at all times relevant hereto, a claims paying ability of not less than “A” by A. M. Best Company, Inc. and an investment grade rating by Moody’s, S&P’s and any other rating agency rating such insurer (ii) as to the property insurance, name Lender as a loss payee and the person to which all payments made by such insurance company shall be paid subject, however, to the rights of the Senior Lenders; (iii) be maintained throughout the term of the Loan without cost to Lender; (iv) include a waiver of subrogation against Lender; (v) be assigned and delivered to Lender subject, however, to the rights of Senior Lenders; (vi) contain such provisions as Lender deems reasonably necessary or appropriate to protect its interest including, without limitation, a waiver of subrogation against Lender and endorsements providing that none of Borrower, the relevant Property Owner, Lender or any other party shall be a co-insurer thereunder,

39

and that Lender shall receive at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any modification, reduction or cancellation thereof; (vii) be issued by an insurer that is fully authorized to do business in the State in which the applicable Property is located; (viii) shall contain an endorsement providing that no act or negligence of Manager or any Loan Party or of a tenant or other occupant shall affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned; and (ix) be satisfactory in form and substance to Lender, and be approved by Lender as to amounts, risk coverage, deductible, loss payees and insureds. Prior to the expiration date of each of the Casualty Insurance Policies, Borrower will, or will cause each Property Owner to, deliver to Lender satisfactory evidence of (a) the renewal of each Casualty Insurance Policy, (b) the payment in full of all premiums unless same are being paid through escrows held by the Senior Lenders, and (c) that Lender has been named an additional insured and loss payee thereunder. Borrower shall not, nor shall it permit any Property Owner to, obtain any blanket liability or casualty policy unless, in each case, such policy is approved in advance in writing by Lender. In the event such approval is granted and Borrower, or the relevant Property Owner, obtains a blanket policy, such policy shall specifically allocate to the applicable 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 such Property.

(e)Borrower shall not, nor shall it permit any Property Owner to, carry separate insurance, concurrent in kind or form or contributing in the event of loss, with any insurance required under this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower, or any Property Owner, may carry insurance not required under this Agreement, provided any such insurance affecting the Properties shall be permitted by the terms of the Senior Loan Documents and shall be for the mutual benefit of Borrower, the relevant Loan Party and Lender and, to the extent required by the Senior Lenders, the Senior Lenders, as their respective interests may appear, and shall be subject to all other provisions of this Section, and provided that the existence of such additional insurance coverage does not limit, impair, reduce or modify the insurance required to be carried under this Section.

(f)On an annual basis, Lender shall have the right to appoint a third party chosen by Lender to conduct an insurance audit of the Policies at Borrower’s expense to verify that Borrower (or the relevant Property Owner) has satisfied the requirements of this Section, the Senior Loan Documents and the Leases (a “Compliance Audit”). Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right at any time and from time to time to require a Compliance Audit at Borrower’s expense. Borrower hereby covenants to pay Lender on demand all of Lender’s costs and expenses for each Compliance Audit required by Lender in accordance with this subsection.

(g)If Borrower fails to provide Lender with satisfactory evidence that the requirements of this Section have been timely satisfied the Lender may, at its discretion and without notice to any of the Loan Parties, procure any required insurance. Any premiums paid for such insurance, or the allocable portion of any premium paid by the Lender under a blanket policy for such insurance, shall be a demand obligation of the Borrower and shall be added to the Obligations, and any unearned premiums under such insurance shall comprise a portion of the Collateral.

40

7.3 Casualty; Condemnation and Application of Proceeds.

(a)If any Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty, Borrower shall give prompt written notice of such damage to Lender and shall, or shall cause the relevant Property Owner to, promptly commence and diligently prosecute, commence and diligently prosecute, the completion of the repair, replacement, rebuilding and restoration of such Property as nearly as possible to the condition such Property was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty, with such alterations as may be approved by Lender (the “Restoration”) and otherwise in accordance with this Section. Borrower shall, or shall cause the relevant Property Owner to, pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower or the relevant Property Owner.

(b)Borrower shall, or shall cause the relevant Property Owner to, promptly give Lender written notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served or received in connection with such proceedings. Subject to the rights of the Senior Lenders, Lender may participate in any such proceedings related to the Properties at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, and Borrower shall, or shall cause the relevant Property Owner to, from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, or shall cause the relevant Property Owner to, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through eminent domain or otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any award or payment therefor shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If any Property or any portion thereof are taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall, or shall cause the relevant Property Owner to, promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of this Section. The expenses incurred by Lender in the settlement of any condemnation award shall become part of the Debt, shall be secured by this Agreement and the other Security Documents and shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender on demand.

(c)Upon the occurrence of any casualty at or of any Property or any part thereof where a Senior Lender does not have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to settle, adjust or compromise any claim under any policy of insurance, or in the event such Senior Lender has such right but shall waive or otherwise fail to exercise such right, then it shall be an Event of Default hereunder if any such claim is settled or compromised on terms that are not approved in writing by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion. It shall also be an Event of Default hereunder if Borrower or the relevant

41

Property Owner shall submit any proposed settlement of such claim to such Senior Lender for its approval under the Senior Loan Documents before Lender shall have approved such proposed settlement in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower or the relevant Property Owner may settle, adjust or compromise any such claim which is less than one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) without Lender’s consent or approval; provided that within fifteen (15) days following the settlement Borrower delivers, or causes the relevant Property Owner to deliver, to Lender written notice of the settlement, together with a memorandum summarizing the relevant and material terms of the settlement. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall be authorized to, in its sole discretion, settle and adjust any claim or proceeding regardless of amount without any obligation to consult with Borrower or the relevant Property Owner in connection therewith. The expenses incurred by Lender in the adjustment and collection of insurance proceeds shall become part of the Debt, shall be secured by this Agreement and the other Security Documents and shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender on demand.

(d)If there occurs any insured damage to or destruction of, or any condemnation proceeding with respect to any Property or any part thereof, and any Senior Lender elects to apply insurance proceeds or condemnation award (collectively, the “Loss Proceeds”) to its Senior Loan, then the balance of any Loss Proceeds not so applied to such Senior Loan shall be applied to the Obligations. In the event any Senior Lender makes the Loss Proceeds available to Borrower or the relevant Property Owner for Restoration, any excess Loss Proceeds remaining after completion of Restoration and released to Borrower or the relevant Property Owner shall be paid to Lender to be applied to the Obligations.

(e)Except as provided above, the Loss Proceeds shall be applied to reimburse Borrower or the relevant Property Owner, for the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding such Property or the part thereof affected by such casualty or condemnation or eminent domain proceeding, in the manner set forth below. Any such application to the Obligations shall not be considered a voluntary prepayment requiring payment of the prepayment consideration provided for in this Agreement, except that if an Event of Default shall have occurred, then such application shall be subject to the prepayment consideration computed in accordance with this Agreement, if any.

(f)Whether or not Loss Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower or the relevant Property Owner for the Restoration following a casualty or condemnation, Borrower hereby covenants to, or to cause the relevant Property Owner to, restore, repair, replace or rebuild such Property to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such casualty or condemnation, all to be effected in accordance with Applicable Law and plans and specifications approved in advance by Lender; provided, however, that Borrower or the relevant Property Owner shall pay all costs (and if required by Lender, Borrower shall, or shall cause the relevant Property Owner to, deposit the total thereof with Lender in advance) of Restoration in excess of the Loss Proceeds made available pursuant to the terms hereof.

42

(g)In the event Borrower or the relevant Property Owner is entitled to reimbursement out of Loss Proceeds held by Lender, such proceeds shall be disbursed from time to time upon Lender being furnished with: (1) evidence satisfactory to it of the estimated cost of completion of the Restoration; (2) funds, or, at Lender’s option, assurances satisfactory to Lender that such funds are available, sufficient in addition to the Loss Proceeds to complete the proposed Restoration; and (3) such architect’s certificates, waivers of lien for work previously performed or contemporaneously funded, 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. Pending any such disbursement, Borrower shall, or shall cause the relevant Property Owner to, deliver all Loss Proceeds and additional funds to the Depository, which proceeds shall be held in an interest-bearing deposit account, and Borrower hereby grants to Lender, as further security for the Obligations, a security interest in such deposit account, all funds deposited therein and all interest and other proceeds thereof. All withdrawals from such deposit account shall require Lender’s authorization. All interest or other earnings with respect to the funds deposited in such deposit account shall be disbursed in accordance with the terms of this paragraph. Lender may, in any event, require that all plans and specifications for such Restoration, be submitted to and approved by Lender prior to commencement of work (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). No payment made prior to the final completion of the Restoration shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the value of the work performed from time to time. Funds other than the Loss Proceeds shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such Loss Proceeds, and at all times the undisbursed balance of the Loss Proceeds remaining in Lender’s possession, 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 and claims of lien. Any surplus which may remain out of Loss Proceeds and additional funds held by Lender pursuant to this Section 7.3 after payment of such costs of Restoration shall be applied by Lender in reduction of the Debt.

(h)If Loss Proceeds are paid to any Senior Lender for disbursement, Borrower shall, or shall cause the relevant Property Owner to, deliver to Lender copies of all written correspondence delivered to and received from such Senior Lender that relates to such Loss Proceeds.

(i)The provisions of this Section 7.3 shall not be deemed violated if and to the extent the Senior Lenders require, pursuant to their rights under the applicable Senior Loan Documents, use and application of Loss Proceeds in a manner inconsistent with this Section 7.3.

7.4 Real Property Taxes.

(a)Borrower shall, or shall cause each Property Owner to, promptly pay all taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rents, governmental impositions, and other charges, including without limitation vault charges and license fees for the use of vaults, chutes and similar areas adjoining the Properties, now or hereafter levied or assessed or

43

imposed against the Properties or any part thereof (the “Real Property Taxes”), all ground rents, maintenance charges and similar charges, now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Properties or any part thereof (the “Other Property Charges”), and all charges for utility services provided to the Properties as same become due and payable. Borrower will deliver to Lender, promptly upon Lender’s request, evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Real Property Taxes, Other Property Charges and utility service charges have been so paid or are not then delinquent. Borrower shall not suffer (or permit any Property Owner to suffer) and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a lien or charge against any Property. Except to the extent sums sufficient to pay all Real Property Taxes and Other Property Charges have been deposited (i) with Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the Deposit Account Agreement, or (ii) with a Senior Lender pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents, Borrower shall furnish to Lender paid receipts for the payment of the Real Property Taxes and Other Property Charges prior to the date the same shall become delinquent.

(b)After prior written notice to Lender, any Loan Party or Property Owner, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any of the Real Property Taxes; provided that (1) no Event of Default has occurred, (2) such Loan Party or Property Owner is permitted to do so under the provisions of any mortgage, deed of trust or deed to secure debt affecting the relevant Property including those securing any Senior Loan, (3) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of the Real Property Taxes from such Loan Party or such Property Owner and from such Property, or such Loan Party or Property Owner shall have paid all of the Real Property Taxes under protest, (4) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which such Loan Party or Property Owner is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder, (5) neither the applicable Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will in the opinion of Lender be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost, (6) Borrower shall have deposited with Lender adequate cash reserves for the payment of the Real Property Taxes, together with all interest and penalties thereon, unless such Loan Party or Property Owner has paid all of the Real Property Taxes under protest, (7) such Loan Party or Property Owner shall have furnished such security as may be reasonably required in the proceeding, or as may be requested by Lender to insure the payment of any contested Real Property Taxes, together with all interest and penalties thereon, and (8) such Loan Party or Property Owner shall promptly, upon final determination thereof, pay the amount of any such contested Real Property Taxes, together with all costs, interest and penalties which may be payable in connection therewith. In addition, if the contested Real Property Taxes are not paid in full when such Loan Party or Property Owner commences such contest, then such proceeding shall suspend the collection of Real Property Taxes from the affected Property. In addition, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand, any costs incurred by Lender in ensuring compliance by such Loan Party or Property Owner with this Section 7.4, including attorney’s fees, monitoring and evaluating expenses and any tax service fees.

44

(c)Unless such amounts are collected by the Senior Lenders, subject to the penultimate sentence of this Section 7.4, Borrower shall pay to Lender, on the first (1st) day of each calendar month, without any requirement of notice or written demand from Lender, (i) one-twelfth of the amount required to pay in full the Real Property Taxes and Other Property Charges that will become due and payable during the following twelve (12) months with respect to the Properties, and (ii) one-twelfth of an amount required to pay in full the insurance premiums due with respect to the Properties for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof (the amounts in (i) and (ii) above shall be called the “Escrow Fund”). Borrower agrees to, or shall cause the relevant Property Owner to, notify Lender immediately of any changes to the amounts, schedules and instructions for payment of any Real Property Taxes, Other Property Charges or insurance premiums of which they have or obtain knowledge and hereby authorizes Lender or its agent to obtain the bills for Real Property Taxes and Other Property Charges directly from the appropriate taxing authority. Lender will apply the Escrow Fund to payments of Real Property Taxes, Other Property Charges and insurance premiums with respect to the Properties required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Sections 7.2 and 7.4 hereof pursuant to the terms of the Deposit Account Agreement. If the amount of the Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Real Property Taxes, Other Property Charges and insurance premiums with respect to the Properties pursuant to Sections 7.2 and 7.4 hereof, Lender shall, in its discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Escrow Fund. If Lender estimates that the Escrow Fund is not sufficient to pay the items set forth above, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender, upon ten (10) days written demand, an amount which Lender shall estimate as sufficient to make up the deficiency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it remains Borrower’s responsibility to, or to cause each Property Owner to, timely pay all Real Property Taxes, Other Property Charges and insurance premiums with respect to the Properties. Accordingly, in the event that Borrower’s payments to the Escrow Fund are insufficient to pay all Real Property Taxes, Other Property Charges and insurance premiums with respect to the Properties in full as they become due, Borrower shall pay, without any requirement of prior demand or notice from Lender, the full the amount of any deficiency into the Escrow Fund not later than the Payment Date occurring in the calendar month in which such Real Property Taxes, Other Property Charges and/or insurance premiums with respect to the Properties, as applicable, would, if not timely paid, become due, payable and delinquent. The Escrow Fund shall not constitute a trust fund and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. No earnings or interest on the Escrow Fund shall be payable to Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, to the extent Senior Lender for any Property for which the Senior Lender is escrowing for Real Property Taxes, Other Property Charges and/or insurance premiums pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents for such Property, Lender will waive the requirements of this Section 7.4(g) to the extent of the escrow established pursuant to such Senior Loan Documents. For example, if Senior Lender is only requiring that Real Property Taxes and Other Property Charges to be escrowed, Borrower shall be required hereunder to escrow for insurance premiums with respect to such Property.

7.5 Leases and Revenues.

45

(a)As more particularly set forth in the Deposit Account Agreement, each Loan Party shall, or shall cause each Property Owner to, cause all Revenues to be deposited in the Deposit Account, except for amounts paid to and applied by any Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents.

(b)Borrower shall, or shall cause each Property Owner to, use its best efforts to maintain all leasable space in the Properties leased at no less than fair market rental rates for comparable space in competitive properties. Upon written request, Borrower shall, or shall cause each Property Owner to, furnish to Lender executed copies of all Leases. Subject to the provisions of this Section, all Major Leases shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall include estoppel provisions in favor of Lender satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall, or shall cause each Property Owner to, (i) observe and perform all the obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases and not do or permit to be done anything to impair the value of any of the Leases; (ii) promptly send copies to Lender of all notices of default which such Loan Party or the relevant Property Owner or its agents or representatives shall send or receive thereunder; (iii) enforce all of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the lessee thereunder to be observed or performed, to the same extent as a reasonable and prudent landlord would; (iv) not collect any of the Revenues more than one (1) month in advance; (v) not execute any other assignment of the lessor’s interest in any of the Leases or the Revenues, except under the Senior Loan Documents; (vi) not alter, modify or change the terms of any Major Leases without the prior written consent of Lender, or cancel or terminate any Major Leases or accept a surrender thereof or convey or transfer or suffer or permit a conveyance or transfer of any Property or of any interest therein so as to effect a merger of the estates and rights of or a termination or diminution of the obligations of, lessees thereunder; (vii) not alter, modify or change the terms of any guaranty, letter of credit or other credit support with respect to the Major Leases (the “Lease Guaranty”) or cancel or terminate such Lease Guaranty, and (viii) not consent to any assignment of or subletting under any Major Lease in respect of which the consent of landlord is required without the prior written consent of Lender. Lender shall have the right, following ten (10) days prior written notice to the applicable Loan Party (or without such notice if an Event of Default exists) at the Borrower’s expense, but shall not be obligated, to cure any default by the applicable Loan Party under any of the Leases which the applicable Loan Party is not proceeding diligently to cure, and this provision shall be deemed to be a written authorization and each tenant shall be entitled to rely thereon. Such curing by Lender of a default by the applicable Loan Party under any of the Leases shall not release the applicable Loan Party in any way from liability to Lender for the applicable Loan Party’s failure to discharge the applicable Loan Party’s duty to so cure that default. Any and all sums expended by Lender with respect to any such cure, together with interest thereon at the Protective Advance Default Rate from the date paid by Lender until repaid by Borrower, shall immediately be due and payable to Lender by Borrower on demand and shall be secured by the Loan Documents. Lender and any Person designated by Lender are hereby authorized by Borrower on behalf of each Property Owner to directly communicate with any of the tenants or the Manager at any time and from time to time regarding such matters as Lender deems appropriate, and Borrower on behalf of each Property Owner hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Loan Party and Property

46

Owner shall have no claim or cause of action against Lender arising out of such communications.

(c)Borrower shall, or shall cause each Property Owner to, provide Lender upon request, a certified status report concerning rental activity in the Properties, which report shall specifically list the portions of the Properties which are committed, under negotiation or have been leased under executed and delivered Leases as of the date of the report, and such other information as may be requested by Lender.

(d)Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, no warrants, stock options or similar rights in any tenant or any Affiliate thereof, any licensee or any other Person providing any services related to or for the benefit of any Property may be granted to any Loan Party, Property Owner or their respective Affiliates, without Lender’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Lender’s sole discretion, and which consent may be conditioned upon, among other things, Lender’s receipt of a perfected security interest in such warrants, stock options or similar rights as security for the Debt.

7.6Maintenance of Properties. Borrower shall, or shall cause the Property Owners to, maintain the Properties in a good and safe condition and repair. The Improvements, materials, equipment, furniture, fixtures and other articles of personal property located therein and thereon not owned by lessees under Leases (the “Personal Property”) shall not be removed, demolished or materially altered (except for normal replacement of the Personal Property and tenant improvement costs) without the prior written consent of Lender. Borrower shall not, nor shall it permit any Property Owner to, initiate, join in, acquiesce in, or consent to any change in any private restrictive covenant, zoning law or other public or private restriction, limiting or defining the uses which may be made of the Properties or any part thereof without the prior written consent of Lender. If under applicable zoning provisions the use of all or any portion of any Property is or shall become a nonconforming use, Borrower will not, nor will it allow any Property Owner to intentionally or knowingly cause or permit the nonconforming use to be discontinued or abandoned without the express written consent of Lender.

7.7Waste. Borrower shall not, nor shall it permit any Property Owner to, (a) commit or suffer any waste of the Properties, (b) make or permit to be made any change in the use of the Properties which will in any way materially increase the risk of fire or other hazard arising out of the operation of the Properties, (c) take or cause to be taken any action that might invalidate or give cause for cancellation of any Policy, or (d) do or permit to be done thereon anything that could in any way impair the value of the Properties or Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents.

7.8 Compliance With Laws.

(a)Borrower shall, and shall cause each Property Owner to, promptly comply with all Applicable Laws. Particularly, Borrower shall, or shall cause each Property Owner to cause the Properties to at all times strictly comply to the extent applicable with the requirements of the ADA, all state and local laws and ordinances

47

related to handicapped access and all rules, regulations, and orders issued pursuant thereto including the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities, as amended, and to pay all costs associated with such compliance. Each Loan Party shall, from time to time, upon Lender’s request, provide Lender with evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Properties comply in all material respects with all Applicable Law or are exempt from compliance with Applicable Law. Notwithstanding any provisions set forth herein, Borrower shall not, nor shall it permit any Property Owner to, alter any Property in any manner which would materially increase any Loan Party’s or such Property Owner’s responsibilities for compliance with Applicable Law without the prior written approval of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld. Lender’s approval of the plans, specifications, or working drawings for alterations of the Properties shall create no responsibility or liability on behalf of Lender for their completeness, design, sufficiency or their compliance with Applicable Law. Lender may condition any such approval upon receipt of a certificate of compliance with Applicable Law from an independent architect, engineer, or other person reasonably acceptable to Lender. Borrower shall, or shall cause each Property Owner to, give prompt notice to Lender of the receipt by Borrower or such Property Owner of any notice related to a violation of any Applicable Law and of the commencement of any proceedings or investigations which relate to compliance with Applicable Law.

(b)After prior written notice to Lender, any Loan Party may, at its sole cost and expense, by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, contest the validity or application in whole or in part of any Applicable Law; provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) such proceeding shall suspend the enforcement or prosecution of such Applicable Law against such Loan Party or such Property, as applicable, or such Loan Party or Property Owner shall have complied with such law under protest; (iii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument or agreement affecting such Property to which such Loan Party or such Property Owner is subject (including without limitation, the Senior Loan Documents) and shall not constitute a default thereunder; (iv) neither such Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; and (v) each Loan Party shall have, or shall cause the relevant Property Owner to have, deposited with Lender, if reasonably required by Lender, adequate reserves or other security as Lender may reasonably require for the payment of any potential fines or penalties in connection with the enforcement of such Applicable Law.

7.9 Books and Records.

(a)Borrower will, and will cause each Loan Party to, keep and maintain, on a Fiscal Year basis, in accordance with GAAP, proper and accurate books, records and accounts reflecting all of the financial affairs of such Loan Party and all items of income and expense in connection with the operation of the Properties. Borrower shall cause Lender to have the right from time to time at all times during normal business hours to examine such books, records and accounts at the office of such Loan Party or other Person maintaining such books, records and accounts and to make copies or extracts thereof as Lender shall desire. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, the

48

Borrower shall pay any costs and expenses incurred by Lender to examine such accounting records as Lender shall determine to be necessary or appropriate in the protection of Lender’s interest. The Borrower shall, or cause the Property Owners to, furnish or make available to Lender and its agents convenient facilities for the examination and audit of any of the applicable books and records.

(b)Pursuant to and in accordance with the reporting requirements set forth in Article VI of this Agreement, Borrower shall, or shall cause each Loan Party to, concurrently furnish to Lender all financial statements, operating statements, balance sheets, budgets, rent rolls, notices, consents, requests, reports, and all other financial or written communications related to the Properties delivered to any Senior Lender, issued by any Manager, and/or received by any Loan Party.

7.10Change in Fiscal Year. Borrower shall, and shall cause each Loan Party to, maintain December 31 as its fiscal year end.

7.11Payment of Taxes, Charges, Claims and Current Liabilities. Borrower shall, and shall cause each Loan Party to, pay or discharge:

(a)on or prior to the date on which penalties thereon accrue, all federal, all state and all other material Taxes, assessments and other government charges or levies imposed upon it or any of its properties or income (including such as may arise under Section 4062, Section 4063 or Section 4064 of ERISA, or any similar provision of Law);

(b)on or prior to the date when due, all lawful claims of materialmen, mechanics, carriers, warehousemen and other like Persons which result in creation of a Lien upon any property of such Loan Party (including the Properties);

(c)on or prior to the date when due, all other lawful claims which, if unpaid, might result in the creation of a Lien upon any the property of such Loan Party (including the Properties) (other than Permitted Liens) or which, if unpaid, might give rise to a claim entitled to priority over general creditors of such Loan Party in a case under the Bankruptcy Code, or in any insolvency proceeding or dissolution or winding-up involving such Loan Party; and

(d)all other current liabilities so that none is overdue more than sixty (60) days.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Loan Party, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any Applicable Law or Governmental Authority or the payment of any asserted Taxes, assessments, charges, levies, claims, liabilities or judgments entered against such Loan Party or any of their assets (including the Properties) (collectively in this Section 7.11, the “requirements”); provided that (1) no Event of Default has occurred, (2) such Loan Party or Property Owner is permitted to do so under the provisions of any mortgage, deed of trust or deed to secure debt affecting such Loan Party (or any of its properties),

49

including those securing any Senior Loan, (3) such proceeding shall suspend the requirements as to such Loan Party and from such Property, or such Loan Party shall have paid or performed all of the requirements under protest, (4) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which such Loan Party is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder, (5) neither the applicable Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will in the opinion of Lender be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost, (6) Borrower shall have deposited with Lender adequate cash reserves for the payment or performance of the requirements, together with all interest and penalties thereon, unless such Loan Party has paid or performed all of the requirements under protest, and (7) such Loan Party or Property Owner shall have furnished such security as may be reasonably required in the proceeding, or as may be requested by Lender to insure the payment or performance of any contested requirements, together with all interest and penalties thereon.

7.12Performance of Other Agreements. Borrower shall, and shall cause each Loan Party to, observe and perform each and every term to be observed or performed by such Person pursuant to the terms of any agreement or recorded instrument affecting or pertaining to the Properties (including, without limitation, the Material Agreements), and any Amendments thereto, or given by any Loan Party to Lender for the purpose of further securing any Obligation.

7.13Right of Entry. Borrower shall, and shall cause each Loan Party to, provide to Lender and its agents access to their respective executive or other offices or any part thereof or any Property for the purpose of making inspections at all reasonable times, including, without limitation, for the purpose of curing any default that occurs or that is asserted by any Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents.

7.14Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements. Borrower shall, and shall cause each Loan Party to, do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence and qualifications, and material rights, licenses, permits and franchises and comply in all material respects with all requirements of Governmental Authorities applicable to it.

50

another Person. Borrower hereby assigns, or agrees to cause each Property Owner to assign to Borrower so that it may assign, to Lender all proceeds payable under any Title Insurance Policy, subject to the rights of any Senior Lender, if any, under its mortgagee title insurance policy, and shall deliver such funds to Lender for deposit into the Deposit Account, to be held and applied in the manner set forth in the Deposit Account Agreement.

7.16 ERISA.

(a) Compliance with ERISA. The Loan Parties shall not:

(i)permit the occurrence of any Termination Event which would result in a liability to any Loan Party or any ERISA Affiliate in excess of $100,000;

(vi)permit the establishment of any Employee Benefit Plan providing post-retirement welfare benefits or establish or amend any Employee Benefit Plan which establishment or amendment could result in liability to any Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate or increase the obligation of any Loan Party or any ERISA Affiliate to a Multiemployer Plan which liability or increase, individually or together with all similar liabilities and increases could have a Material Adverse Effect; or

(vii)fail, or permit any ERISA Affiliate to fail, to establish, maintain and operate each Employee Benefit Plan in compliance in all material respects with the provisions of ERISA, the Code and all other applicable laws and the regulations and interpretations thereof.

(b)No Prohibited Transaction. Borrower covenants and agrees that it shall not, and shall not permit any Loan Party to, engage in any transaction which would cause any obligation, or action taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the exercise by Lender

51

of any of its rights under the Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt (under a statutory or administrative class exemption) prohibited transaction under ERISA.

(c)No Plan Assets. The Loan Parties shall not at any time during the term of this Agreement become (1) an employee benefit plan defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA which is subject to ERISA, (2) a plan as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code which is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, (3) a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA or (4) an entity any of whose underlying assets constitute “plan assets” of any such employee benefit plan, plan or governmental plan for purposes of Title I or ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any state statutes applicable to the Borrowers regulating investments of governmental plans.

7.17 Environmental Matters.

(a)Borrower shall and shall cause each Loan Party and their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates to (i) comply with any Environmental Requirements, including, without limitation, any such laws or regulations relating to contamination from any Hazardous Materials, (ii) notify Lender promptly upon learning of any spill of Hazardous Material upon any premises owned or occupied by such Loan Party and their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates where such spill or hazardous substance would be reasonably likely to cause contamination, and (iii) promptly forward to Lender a copy of any order, notice, permit, application or any other communication or report in connection with any such spill or any other matter relating to the Environmental Requirements as they may affect such premises.

(b)Borrower will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Lender, its employees, agents, officers, and directors, in its capacity as Lender hereunder and also as successor in interest to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates as owner or lessee of any premises by virtue of foreclosure or acceptance in lieu of foreclosure, from and against any and all claims, demands, penalties, causes of action, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs, or expenses of whatever kind or nature, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, contingent or otherwise (including, without limitation, counsel and consultant fees and expenses, investigation and laboratory fees and expenses, court costs, and litigation expenses) arising out of, or in any way related to, (i) any breach by Borrower of any of the provisions of this Section 7.17 or Article XIV hereof, (ii) the presence, disposal, spillage, discharge, emission, leakage, release, or threatened release of any Hazardous Material which is at, in, on, under, about, from or affecting any of the Properties or Improvements, including, without limitation, any damage or injury resulting from any such Hazardous Material to or affecting any of the Properties or Improvements or the soil, water, air, vegetation, buildings, personal property, persons or animals located on such Property or on any other property or otherwise, (iii) any personal injury

52

The aforesaid indemnification shall, notwithstanding any exculpatory or other provision of any nature whatsoever to the contrary set forth in the Note, this Agreement or any other document or instrument now or hereafter executed and delivered in connection with the Loan, constitute the personal recourse undertakings, obligations and liabilities of Borrower. The Obligations and liabilities of Borrower under this paragraph shall survive and continue in full force and effect and shall not be terminated, discharged or released, in whole or in part, irrespective of whether the Debt has been paid in full and irrespective of any foreclosure of the Pledge Agreement, sale of the Collateral pursuant to the provisions of the Security Documents or acceptance by Lender, its nominee or wholly-owned subsidiary of an assignment in lieu of foreclosure or sale and irrespective of any other fact or circumstance of any nature whatsoever.

(c)In the event of any spill or Hazardous Material affecting any premises owned or occupied by any Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates, whether or not the same originates or emanates from such premises or any contiguous real estate, and/or if any Loan Party or such Subsidiary or Affiliate shall fail to comply with any of the Environmental Requirements applicable to the spill or Hazardous Material, Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, give such notices or cause such work to be performed or take any and all actions legally required to remedy such spill or hazardous substance or cure such failure to comply and any amounts paid as a result thereof, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, shall be immediately due and payable by Borrower and, until paid, shall be added to the Obligations.

7.18Subdivision Maps. Prior to recording any final map, plat, parcel map, condominium plats, lot line adjustment or other subdivision map of any kind covering any portion of any Property (collectively, “Subdivision Map”), Borrower shall, or shall cause the relevant Property Owner to, submit such Subdivision Map to Lender for Lender’s review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

7.19Pledge of all Assets. Subject to terms of the Senior Loan Documents, it is the intention of the Loan Parties and Lender that all properties, rights and assets of the Loan Parties (other than Holdings), whether real or personal, tangible or intangible, or otherwise shall at all times be pledged to Lender as “Collateral” and as security for the Loan, except to the extent prohibited by Material Agreements in effect on the Closing Date and which have been disclosed in writing to Lender (the “Effective Material

53

Agreements”). Accordingly, to the extent any Loan Party (other than Holdings or a Property Owner) acquires any properties, rights or assets at any time after the Closing Date for which a Lien in favor of Lender is not prohibited by the Effective Material Agreements or if the Effective Material Agreements at any time cease to prohibit such Lien, then Borrower shall immediately (i) notify Lender thereof in writing, and (ii) pledge or cause the same to be pledged to Lender as additional “Collateral” and as security for the Debt pursuant to mortgages, deeds of trust, pledge agreements or other documents acceptable to Lender.

7.20Estoppel Statements. Within ten (10) days after request by Lender to Borrower, Borrower shall furnish to Lender a statement, duly acknowledged and certified and setting forth (A) the original principal amount of the Note, (B) the unpaid principal amount of the Note, (C) the Applicable Interest Rate of the Note, (D) the date on which installments of interest and principal were last paid, (E) the terms of payment, (F) any offsets or defenses to the payment of the Loan, if any, (G) that the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are valid, legal and binding obligations of the Loan Parties, and have not been Amended or, if Amended, giving particulars of such Amendment (H) that, except as provided in such statement, there are no defaults or events which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute an event of default under the Loan Documents, (I) whether or not, to the best knowledge of the Loan Parties and applicable Property Owner, any of the tenants under the Leases are in default under the Leases, and, if any of the tenants are in default, setting forth the specific nature of all such defaults, and (J) as to any other matters reasonably requested by Lender.

Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall cause the applicable Property Owner to (to the extent the applicable Property Owner has the right to obtain the same under the Leases) promptly request within five (5) Business Days, and thereafter use commercially reasonable efforts (including, without limitation, the expenditure of any money reasonably required to enforce tenants’ obligations under all Leases) to obtain, estoppel certificates from any one or more tenants identified by Lender attesting to such facts regarding the Lease as required by the applicable Lease or if no form is required by the applicable Lease, attesting to such facts regarding the Lease as may be reasonably requested by Lender.

7.21Further Assurances. Borrower shall and shall cause each of the Loan Parties to, do and execute all and such further lawful and reasonable acts, conveyances and assurances as are required or desirable, as determined by Lender, to carry out the intents and purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Borrower shall cause each of the Loan Parties to execute and deliver on demand one or more financing statements, chattel mortgages or other instruments, to evidence or perfect more effectively the security interest of Lender in the Collateral, and if any of the Loan Parties fails to execute and deliver any of the foregoing within five (5) days after such request by Lender, Borrower on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party hereby grants to Lender an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest for the purpose of exercising and perfecting any and all rights and remedies available to Lender pursuant to this Section 7.21, and hereby authorizes Lender to execute in the name of such Loan

54

Party or without the signature of such Loan Party to the extent Lender may lawfully do so, any such financing statements, chattel mortgages or other instruments.

7.22Hedging Transactions. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event Borrower does not elect a twenty-four (24) month Eurodollar Interest Period for the entire amount of the Loan, the Borrower must purchase an interest rate cap at an equivalent strike price. Such transaction shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender.

7.23Cooperate in Legal Proceedings. Borrower shall, and shall cause the Property Owners to, cooperate fully with Lender with respect to any proceedings before any court, board or other Governmental Authority, which may in any way affect the rights of Lender hereunder, or any rights obtained by Lender under any of the other Loan Documents and, in connection therewith, permit Lender, at its election, to participate in any such proceedings.

7.24Contracts. Borrower shall and shall cause each of the Property Owners to, deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender copies of all contracts or other agreements (and all amendments, modifications or supplements thereto), whether now existing or hereafter entered into, affecting any Loan Party or the use, maintenance, management or operation of any of the Properties, and any contracts regarding a sale of any of the Properties or an interest therein. No Loan Party shall, without Lender’s consent, enter into any service, maintenance or other contracts affecting the Properties that (a) involve more than $250,000 in expenditures, or (b) are not terminable on one month’s notice or less without cause and without penalty or premium.

ARTICLE IX

MANAGEMENT

9.1Management; Termination of Manager. (a) Borrower warrants and covenants that: Unless otherwise consented to by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion or prohibited by the terms of any applicable Senior Loan Documents, each

59

Property shall at all times during the term of the Loan be leased, managed and marketed by the managers (“Managers”) identified on Exhibit 9.1 pursuant to the management agreements identified on Exhibit 9.1 (as may be amended, the “Management Agreements”). Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any other Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates to, terminate or replace any Manager or its successor or assign, or agree to any Amendment to any of the Management Agreements, without Lender’s prior written consent. Borrower shall cause all Property Owners to (i) diligently perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Management Agreement on the part of the applicable Property Owner to be performed and observed by the applicable Property Owner so that the rights of the applicable Property Owner under the Management Agreement remain unimpaired; and (ii) promptly notify Lender of the giving of any notice by the Manager to a Property Owner of any default by a Property Owner in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Management Agreement on the part of a Property Owner and deliver to Lender a true copy of each such notice. The applicable Property Owner shall promptly enforce the performance and observance of all of the covenants required to be observed and performed by the Manager. Borrower shall cause the applicable Property Owner to cause any such Manager of the Property to agree that such manager’s management agreement is subject and subordinate in all respects to the Security Documents.

(b)If (i) at any time, an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, (ii) a Manager shall become bankrupt or insolvent or (iii) a material default occurs under any of the Management Agreements beyond any applicable grace and cure periods, Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, terminate the Management Agreement (“Lender Termination Request”) to the extent permitted under the Senior Loan Documents or any intercreditor agreement between Lender and the Senior Lender and replace Manager with a manager approved by Lender on terms and conditions satisfactory to Lender, it being understood and agreed that the management fee for such replacement manager shall not exceed then prevailing market rates.

(c)Notwithstanding anything contained in the Management Agreements, fees under each Management Agreement shall not exceed the sum of the following: (a) one hundred percent of that portion of the management fee actually reimbursed by tenants pursuant to their leases (“Reimbursed Fees”) and (b) one hundred percent of that portion of the management fee not reimbursed by tenants (“Non-Reimbursed Fees”) but in no event may such Non-Reimbursed fees exceed two percent (2%) of gross revenues from the applicable Property. Management Fees payable under the management agreement for 77 West Wacker Drive shall not be subject to the foregoing restriction.

9.2Brokerage Agreements. Brokerage Agreements made or existing during the term of the Loan shall not be subject to the Lender’s prior written approval provided they are on customary market terms and meet with the following requirements. The Brokerage Agreements shall each provide that the relevant Loan Party, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (for purposes of this Section 9.2, the “Relevant Signatory”), shall have the right to terminate said Brokerage Agreement with or without cause on no more than thirty

60

(30) days prior written notice upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. If requested by Lender in writing (a “Lender Termination Request”) at any time, the Relevant Signatory shall issue within five (5) days after delivery of the Lender Termination Request, a notice of termination to terminate the Brokerage Agreement (a “Broker Termination Notice”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the broker is an Affiliate of the Relevant Signatory, Lender’s delivery to the Relevant Signatory of a Lender Termination Request shall automatically terminate the Brokerage Agreement effective as of the date specified in the Lender Termination Request. If the broker is not an Affiliate of the Relevant Signatory, the Relevant Signatory shall appoint a replacement broker pursuant to a new Brokerage Agreement within thirty (30) days after delivery of such Lender Termination Request. If the Relevant Signatory fails to issue the Broker Termination Notice within said five (5) day period, then Lender shall have the right, and the Relevant Signatory hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender and irrevocably appoints Lender as the Relevant Signatory’s attorney-in-fact coupled with an interest, at Lender’s sole option, to issue a Broker Termination Notice on behalf of and in the name of the Relevant Signatory, and the Relevant Signatory hereby releases and waives any claims against Lender arising out of Lender’s exercise of such authority. Any replacement Brokerage Agreement shall by its terms commence upon the day the prior agreement terminates (but not later than the thirtieth (30th) day after delivery of the corresponding Lender Termination Request) and shall have as its scheduled expiration date a date not earlier than the Maturity Date.

SENIOR LOAN

10.1Compliance with Senior Loan Documents; Lender Cure. Borrower shall cause each applicable Senior Loan Obligor to (i) pay all principal, interest and other sums required to be paid by it under and pursuant to the provisions of the Senior Loan Documents to which it is a party, (ii) diligently perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Senior Loan Documents on the part of such Senior Loan Party to be performed and observed, unless such performance or observance shall be waived or not required in writing by the relevant Senior Lender, and (iii) promptly notify Lender of the giving of any notice by the applicable Senior Lender to such Senior Loan Party of any default by such Senior Loan Party in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Senior Loan Documents on the part of such Senior Loan Party to be performed or observed and deliver to Lender a true copy of each such notice, together with any other consents, notices, requests or other written correspondence between such Senior Loan Party and Senior Lender. Without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing any Loan Party from any of its Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, if there shall occur any default under the Senior Loan Documents or if any Senior Lender asserts that any Senior Loan Party has defaulted in the performance or observance of any term, covenant or condition of any Senior Loan Documents (whether or not the same shall have continued beyond any applicable notice or grace periods, whether or not such Senior Lender shall have delivered proper notice to the applicable Senior Loan Party and without regard to any other defenses or offset rights such Senior Loan Party may have against Senior Lender), Borrower hereby expressly agrees that

61

Lender shall have the immediate right, without notice to or demand, but shall be under no obligation, (A) to pay all or any part of the Senior Loan that is then due and payable and any other sums and to perform any act or take any action, on behalf of such Senior Loan Obligor, as may be appropriate to cause all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Senior Loan Documents on the part of such Senior Loan Obligor to be performed or observed thereunder to be promptly performed or observed, and (B) to pay any other amounts and take any other action as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall deem advisable to protect or preserve the rights and interests of Lender in the Loan and/or the Collateral. All sums so paid and the costs and expenses incurred by Lender in exercising rights under this Section 10.1 (including Professional Fees), with interest at the Protective Advance Default Rate for the period from the date that such costs or expenses were incurred to the date of payment to Lender, shall constitute a portion of the Debt, shall be secured by the Security Documents and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand therefor. Any sums so paid and costs so incurred by Lender shall bear interest at the Protective Advance Default Rate until paid to Lender by Borrower. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, Professional Fees whether or not suit is brought and settlement costs) and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender as a result of the foregoing actions. Lender shall have no obligation to any Loan Party, any Senior Loan Party or any other Person to make any such payment or performance. Borrower shall not, nor shall it permit any Senior Loan Party to, impede, interfere with, hinder or delay any effort or action on the part of Lender to cure any default or asserted default under any Senior Loan, or to otherwise protect or preserve Lender’s interests in the Loan and the Collateral following a default or asserted default under any Senior Loan. Any default or breach by any Senior Loan Party under the Senior Loan Documents to which it is a party which is not cured prior to the expiry of any applicable grace, notice or cure period afforded to such Senior Loan Party under such Senior Loan Documents shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement, without regard to any subsequent payment or performance of any such obligations by Lender. Each Loan Party hereby grants to Lender and any Person designated by Lender the right to enter upon any Property at any time following the occurrence of any default, or the assertion by any Senior Lender that a default has occurred, under any Senior Loan Documents, for the purpose of taking any such action or to appear in, defend or bring any action or proceeding to protect such Senior Loan Party’s and/or Lender’s interest. Lender shall have no obligation to complete any cure or attempted cure undertaken or commenced by Lender. If any Senior Lender or any Loan Party shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice of default under any Senior Loan Documents sent by any Senior Lender to a Senior Loan Party, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender, in good faith, in reliance thereon. As a material inducement to Lender’s making the Loan, Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally releases and waives all claims against Lender arising out of Lender’s exercise of its rights and remedies provided in this Section. In the event that Lender makes any payment in respect of any Senior Loan, Lender shall be subrogated to all of the rights of such Senior Lender under such Senior

62

Loan Documents, in addition to all other rights Lender may have under the Loan Documents.

10.2Estoppels. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, Professional Fees whether or not suit is brought and settlement costs) and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender based in whole or in part upon any fact, event, condition, or circumstances relating to any Senior Loan which was misrepresented in, or which warrants disclosure and was omitted from such estoppel executed by such Loan Party or such Senior Loan Party.

10.3No Amendment. Borrower shall not, nor shall it permit any Senior Loan Party to, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, enter into any Amendment of any of the Senior Loan Documents. Borrower shall provide Lender with a fully executed and complete copy of any Amendment to the Senior Loan Documents within five (5) days after the execution thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any increase in the principal amount, interest rate, monthly debt service payments, fees or other amounts payable, or fixing the interest rate on the Senior Loan Agreement for Continental Towers, or to be reserved or escrowed, under or with respect to any Senior Loan Documents, any change in the maturity date of any Senior Loan, cash management procedures, or any change to the provisions of the Senior Loan Documents relating to the release of collateral or security or the release price therefor, without the express prior written consent of Lender, shall be prohibited pursuant to this paragraph.

10.4Acquisition of the Senior Loan. Borrower shall not and shall cause each Loan Party and their Subsidiaries or Affiliates to not acquire or agree to acquire any Senior Loan, or any portion thereof or any interest therein, or any direct or indirect ownership interest in the holder of any Senior Loan, via purchase, transfer, exchange or otherwise, and any breach or attempted breach of this provision shall constitute an immediate Event of Default hereunder. If, solely by operation of applicable subrogation law any such Person shall have failed to comply with the foregoing, then Borrower (i) shall immediately notify Lender of such failure, (ii) shall cause any and all such Persons acquiring any interest in the Senior Loan Documents (A) not to enforce such Senior Loan Documents, and (B) upon the request of Lender, to the extent any of such Persons has or have the power or authority to do so, to promptly (1) cancel such Senior Note, (2) reconvey and release any Senior Lien and any other collateral under such Senior Loan Documents, and (3) discontinue and terminate any enforcement proceeding(s) under such Senior Loan Documents. Borrower hereby expressly covenants and agrees that, in the event that Lender acquires the Senior Loan at any time when an Event of Default shall have occurred, then, at Lender’s option, exercised in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, Lender may elect (x) to declare that such Senior Loan is in default (which default shall not be subject to any grace, notice or cure periods), and (y) to accelerate such Senior Loan indebtedness.

63

10.5Deed-in-Lieu. Borrower shall not, nor shall it permit any Senior Loan Party to, enter into any deed-in-lieu or consensual foreclosure with or for the benefit of any Senior Lender or any of its Affiliates. Without the express prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not, nor shall it permit any Senior Loan Party to, enter into any consensual sale or other transaction in connection with any Senior Loan which could diminish, modify, terminate, impair or otherwise adversely affect the interests of Lender or such Senior Loan Party in the Collateral or any portion thereof or any interest therein or of such Senior Loan Party in any Property or any portion thereof or any interest therein.

10.6Refinancing; Prepayment. Borrower shall be required to obtain the consent of Lender, which may be withheld in Lender’s sole discretion, before any Senior Loan Party is permitted to make any partial or full prepayments of amounts owing under any Senior Loan. Borrower shall not, nor shall it permit any Senior Loan Party to, refinance any Senior Loan (except for a refinancing effected entirely with Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness) prior to the payment to Lender of all amounts owing to Lender evidenced by the Note without the consent of Lender, which may be withheld in Lender’s sole discretion except in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Section 8.5(b).

10.7Acquisition of Senior Loan. Borrower, on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that Lender shall have the right to purchase or otherwise acquire any Senior Loan at any time and further hereby expressly covenants and agrees that, in the event that Lender acquires any Senior Loan at any time when an Event of Default shall have occurred, then, at Lender’s option, exercised in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, Lender may elect (x) to declare that such Senior Loan is in default (which default shall not be subject to any grace, notice or cure periods), and (y) to accelerate such Senior Loan indebtedness.

ARTICLE XI

11.1Transfer or Encumbrance. Borrower shall not, nor shall Borrower permit any Loan Party to, whether in one or a series of transactions, (i) issue or agree to issue any direct or indirect interest (including preferred equity or securities convertible into preferred or common equity) of any nature whatsoever, whether partnership, stock, membership, equity, beneficial, profit, loss or otherwise (collectively and in the singular, as the context may require, the “Ownership Interests”) in such Person or (ii) allow or permit the Transfer of any Ownership Interest in any other Loan Party directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, or (iii) the Transfer of an interest of any Person having a direct or indirect legal or beneficial Ownership Interest in any Loan Party, including any legal or beneficial interest in any constituent member, partner or owner of such Person; or (iv) the change, removal, resignation or addition of a partner, joint venturer or member in any Loan Party, in each case, without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent in any and all circumstances may be conditioned or denied for any reason or no reason in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender; provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, preferred stock in the REIT may be Transferred without the prior consent of Lender, provided that

64

after such Transfer, no person or group of persons as a result of such Transfer (as such term is used in Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), shall beneficially own (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) more than the Applicable Ownership Limit of any class of securities of the REIT, provided, further, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Guarantor may transfer his interests in Prime Office Company LLC to a spouse, one or more lineal descendants, brothers, sisters or ancestors (or a trust for the benefit of, or a partnership or other entity controlled by one or more of the foregoing) provided that such transfer in no way impairs or affects the Collateral for the Loan and provided that David Lichtenstein at all times maintains control (as defined in the definition of Affiliate) of Borrower and Guarantor may transfer in the aggregate up to 15% of the membership interests in Prime Office Company LLC and/or Park Avenue Funding LLC to other third parties. The provisions of the foregoing sentence of this paragraph shall apply to each and every such further Transfer, regardless of whether or not Lender has consented to, or waived its rights hereunder with respect to, any such previous Transfer, and irrespective of whether such further Transfer is voluntary, by reason of operation of law or is otherwise made. If Lender in its sole and absolute discretion consents to a Transfer, the transferee of any Ownership Interest shall pay all of Lender’s out of pocket expenses relating to any Transfer (including, without limitation, Professional Fees) and shall enter into such pledge and security agreements, financing statements and other instruments, to evidence Lender’s continuing security interest in the Collateral as Lender may require, and deliver such opinions of counsel, Rating Agency Confirmations, and other further assurances as Lender may require. Lender may release, regardless of consideration, any part of the security held for the Obligations secured by the Pledge Agreements without, as to the remainder of the security, in any way impairing or affecting the lien of the Pledge Agreements or its priority over any subordinate lien.

11.2Transfers of the Properties. Except as permitted in Section 8.5(a), Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Property Owner to, sell, convey, transfer, encumber, pledge, hypothecate or assign all or any material portion of any Property, other than as required by the Senior Loan Documents or the Loan Documents (and aside from immaterial utility easements necessary for the efficient operation of the Properties), without Lender’s prior written consent, which such consent may be conditioned or delayed for any reason or for no reason, in Lender’s sole discretion.

(b)Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section to the contrary, if any Event of Default as described in Section 13.l(g) above shall occur, the entire unpaid Debt shall be automatically due and payable, without any further notice, demand or other action by Lender.

(c)The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, or any other sums collected by Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, may be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper.

80

(d)Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower or any other Loan Party and without releasing Borrower or any other Loan Party from any obligation hereunder, make or do the same in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary to protect the security hereof and/or take any action to cure any Event of Default. Each Loan Party, for itself and on behalf of each of the Property Owners, agrees that Lender is authorized to enter upon any Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring an action or proceeding to protect its beneficial interest in such Property or to collect the Debt, and the cost and expense thereof (including Professional Fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 13.2, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any such action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Protective Advance Default Rate, for the period after notice from Lender that such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Protective Advance Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor. Lender’s exercise of any right or remedy which has the effect of remedying an Event of Default shall not constitute a cure of such Event of Default unless all sums then due and payable to Lender under the Loan Documents are repaid and Borrower has cured all other Events of Default. Lender’s remedies under this Section 13.2 shall be in addition to Lender’s rights relating to the Senior Loan Documents set forth in Article XI of this Agreement.

(e)The failure of Lender to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Agreement. No Loan Party shall be relieved of its Obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents by reason of (i) the failure of Lender to comply with any request of any Loan Party to take any action to enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the Note or the Loan Documents, (ii) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Collateral, 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. Lender may resort for the payment of the Debt to any security held by Lender in such order and manner as Lender, in its discretion, may elect. 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 Collateral under the Loan Documents. The rights of Lender under this Agreement 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 herein 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.

ARTICLE XIV

ENVIRONMENTAL PROVISIONS

81

14.1Environmental Provisions. Each Loan Party shall comply in all respects with all Environmental Requirements, and will not generate, store, handle, process, dispose of or otherwise use, and no Loan Party will generate, store, handle, process, dispose of or otherwise use, Hazardous Materials at, in, on, under or about any Property or Improvements in a manner that could lead or potentially lead to the imposition on any Loan Party or Lender of any liability or lien of any nature whatsoever under any Environmental Requirement. Borrower shall notify Lender promptly in the event of any spill or other release of any Hazardous Material at, in, on, under or about any Property or Improvements which is required to be reported to a Governmental Authority under any Environmental Requirement, will promptly forward to Lender copies of any notices received by any Loan Party relating to alleged violations of any Environmental Requirement and will promptly pay when due any fine or assessment against Lender or any Loan Party relating to any Environmental Requirement. If at any time it is determined that the operation or use of any Property violates any applicable Environmental Requirement or that there are Hazardous Materials located at, in, on or under any Property or Improvements which, under any Environmental Requirement, require special handling in collection, storage, treatment or disposal, or any other form of cleanup or corrective action, Borrower shall, or shall cause any Loan Party to take, within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice thereof from any Governmental Authority or from Lender, at its sole cost and expense, such actions as may be necessary to fully comply with all Environmental Requirements, provided, however, that if such compliance cannot reasonably be completed within such thirty (30) day period, then such Person shall commence such necessary action within such thirty (30) day period and shall thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceed to fully comply in a timely fashion with all Environmental Requirements. If such Person fails to timely take, or to diligently and expeditiously proceed to complete in a timely fashion, any such action, Lender, may, in its sole and absolute discretion, make advances or payments towards the performance or satisfaction of the same, but shall in no event be under any obligation to do so. All sums so advanced or paid by Lender (including, without limitation, counsel and consultant fees and expenses, investigation and laboratory fees and expenses, and fines or other penalty payments) and all sums advanced or paid in connection with any judicial or administrative investigation or proceeding relating thereto, will immediately, upon demand, become due and payable from Borrower and shall bear interest at the Protective Advance Default Rate from the date any such sums are so advanced or paid by Lender until the date any such sums are repaid by Borrower to Lender. Borrower will execute and deliver, promptly upon request, such instruments as Lender may reasonably deem useful or necessary to permit Lender to take any such action, and Borrower shall execute and deliver such additional notes and security instruments, as Lender may reasonably require to secure all sums so advanced or paid by Lender. If a Lien is filed against any Property by any Governmental Authority related to Environmental Requirements and resulting from the need to expend or the actual expending of monies arising from an action or omission, whether intentional or unintentional, of Borrower or for which Borrower is responsible, then Borrower will, within thirty (30) days from the date that Borrower is first given notice that such Lien has been placed against any Property (or within such shorter period of time as may be specified by Lender if such Governmental Authority has commenced steps to cause the Property to be sold pursuant to such Lien)

82

either (a) pay the claim and remove the Lien, or (b) furnish a cash deposit, bond, or such other security with respect thereto as is satisfactory in all respects to Lender and is sufficient to effect a complete discharge of such Lien on such Property. Lender may, at its option, at intervals of not less than one year, or more frequently if Lender reasonably suspects that a Hazardous Material or other environmental condition may violate or threaten to violate any Environmental Requirement, and also upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, cause an environmental audit of the relevant Property or Improvements or portions thereof to be conducted to confirm Borrower’s compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, and Borrower shall cooperate in all reasonable ways with Lender in connection with any such audit, and Borrower shall provide to Lender and its representatives access to such Property to permit and facilitate the conduct of such audit. If such audit discloses that a violation of an Environmental Requirement exists, or if such audit is conducted upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, then Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with such audit, otherwise, the costs and expenses of such audit shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this paragraph, be paid by Lender. If Lender acquires the Collateral pursuant to an exercise of Lender’s remedies under one of the Pledge Agreements, or if the Collateral is sold pursuant to the provisions of one of the Pledge Agreements, or if Borrower tenders an assignment in lieu of foreclosure or sale, Borrower shall deliver the foreclosed, sold or assigned Ownership Interests free and clear of any liabilities to the purchaser at foreclosure or sale or to Lender, its nominee, or wholly-owned subsidiary, as the case may be, arising from any failure to comply with all Environmental Requirements.

ARTICLE XV

MISCELLANEOUS

15.1 Further Assurances.

(a)Borrower shall and shall cause each Loan Party to forthwith upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and thereafter, from time to time, at Lender’s request, cause any of the Security Documents (including without limitation any additional financing statements or continuation statements) to be filed, registered or recorded in such manner and in such places as may be required by any Applicable Law in order to publish notice of and fully to protect, perfect or continue the perfection of any lien or security interest in favor of Lender, and the interest of Lender in, the Collateral. Borrower will pay all taxes, filing, registration or recording fees, and all expenses incident to the preparation, execution, acknowledgment and/or recording of the Loan Documents, any note or other agreements supplemental thereto, any security instrument with respect to the Collateral and any instrument of further assurance, and any Amendment of the foregoing documents, and all federal, state, county and municipal taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any security instrument with respect to the Collateral or any instrument of further assurance, and Amendment of the foregoing documents, except where prohibited by law so to do.

(b)Borrower will, and will cause each Loan Party to, at the cost of Borrower, and without expense to Lender, (i) do, execute, acknowledge and deliver or

83

cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered all and every such further acts, deeds, conveyances, mortgages, assignments, financing statements, continuation statements, notices of assignments, transfers and assurances as Lender shall, from time to time, require, for the better assuring, carrying out, conveying, assigning, transferring, pledging, hypothecating, perfecting, preserving and confirming unto Lender the security interests, liens, property and rights granted, bargained, sold, conveyed, confirmed, pledged, assigned, warranted and transferred or intended now or hereafter so to be under the Loan Documents, or which any Loan Party may be or may hereafter become bound to convey, assign, transfer, pledge, or hypothecate to Lender, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) furnish or cause to be furnished to Lender all instruments, documents, surveys, certificates, plans and specifications, appraisals, title and other insurance reports and agreements, and each and every other document, certificate, agreement and instrument required to be furnished by (y) each Loan Party pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents or reasonably requested by Lender in connection therewith, or (z) any Senior Loan Obligor pursuant to the terms of the Senior Loan Documents. Borrower, on demand, will execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered and hereby authorizes Lender to execute and deliver in the name of Borrower or any Loan Party or without the signature of Borrower or any Loan Party to the extent Lender may lawfully do so, one or more financing statements, or other instruments, to evidence more effectively the security interest of Lender in the Collateral. Borrower and the Guarantor hereby grant to Lender an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest for the purpose of exercising and perfecting, after an Event of Default hereunder, any and all rights and remedies available to Lender at law and in equity, including without limitation such rights and remedies available to Lender pursuant to this Section 15.1.

15.2Bankruptcy. Borrower, Guarantor and Lender hereby acknowledge and agree that upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against any Loan Party under any Bankruptcy Law, the Account Collateral and the Revenues (whether then already in the Collateral Accounts, or then due or becoming due thereafter) shall be deemed not to be property of the bankrupt Person’s bankruptcy estate within the meaning of Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code. In the event, however, that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that, notwithstanding the foregoing characterization of the Account Collateral and the Account Collateral and Revenues by each such Person and Lender, the Account Collateral and/or the Revenues do constitute property of such Person’s bankruptcy estate, then each such Person and Lender hereby further acknowledges and agrees that all such Revenues, whether due and payable before or after the filing of the petition, are and shall be cash collateral of Lender. Each such Person acknowledges that Lender does not consent to such Person’s use of such cash collateral and that, in the event Lender elects (in its sole discretion) to give such consent, such consent shall only be effective if given in writing signed by Lender. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, no such Person shall have the right to use or apply or require the use or application of such cash collateral unless (i) such Person shall have received a court order authorizing the use of the same, and (ii) such Person shall have provided such adequate protection to Lender as shall be required by the bankruptcy court in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code.

84

15.3Releases. Borrower does hereby, and shall cause each of the other Loan Parties, on their own behalf and on behalf of their Affiliates and Subsidiaries, and their respective predecessors, successors and assigns, and their respective partners, managers, members, directors, officers, shareholders and employees (collectively, the “Releasing Parties”), to, fully release, remise, forever discharge and covenant not to sue each of Lender, its Affiliates, its present and former managers, officers, directors, successors and assigns and each and all of their respective officers, agents, representatives, employees, attorneys, officers, directors, partners, members and shareholders, past and present (collectively, the “Released Parties”) of and from any and all claims, demands, debts, liabilities, obligations, judgments, damages, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, claims for litigation costs and attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements), actions and causes of action of whatsoever kind or nature, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, in contract or in tort, without limitation of any sort whatsoever, based on or in any way related to all claims, demands, and causes of action of any nature, in law or in equity whether known or unknown, that have been asserted, could have been asserted or could in the future be asserted by any of the Releasing Parties by reason of events occurring prior to the Closing Date, including but not limited to those claims that relate to or in any way arise out of the Released Parties role as financial advisor to the Releasing Parties.

15.4Lost Documents. Upon receipt of a loss of document affidavit of Lender and Lender’s indemnity of Borrower (or, as applicable, another Loan Party) with respect to all claims and losses arising from the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any of the Loan Documents which are not of public record, and, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such mutilated Loan Document, Borrower will issue, or cause to be issued (in the case of documents issued by other Loan Parties), in lieu thereof, a replacement Loan Document, dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Loan Document in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor.

15.5Section Headings. The titles and headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to summarize or otherwise describe the subject matter of such paragraphs and shall not be given any consideration in the construction of this Agreement.

15.6Parties Bound Etc. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, Lender and their respective successors and assigns (except as otherwise prohibited by this Agreement). Without the prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not assign Borrower’s interest under any of the Loan Documents, or in any monies due or to become due thereunder, and any assignment without such consent shall be void. In this regard, Borrower acknowledges that Lender would not make this Loan except in reliance on Borrower’s expertise, reputation, prior experience in managing, developing and constructing commercial real property, Lender’s knowledge of Borrower and Lender’s understanding that this Agreement is more in the nature of an agreement involving personal services than a standard loan where Lender would rely on security which already exists.

85

15.7Waivers. Lender may at any time and from time to time waive any one or more of the conditions, requirements or obligations contained herein, but any such waiver shall be deemed to be made in pursuance hereof and not in modification thereof, and any such waiver in any instance or under any particular circumstance shall not be effective unless in writing and shall not be considered a waiver of such condition in any other instance or any other circumstance.

15.8 Governing Law.

(a)IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE (EXCLUDING APPLICATION OF ANY PRINCIPLE OF CONFLICT OF LAWS WHICH WOULD DIRECT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) AND ANY APPLICABLE LAW OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM TO ASSERT THAT THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION GOVERNS THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE, AND THE SECURITY DOCUMENTS, AND THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE AND THE SECURITY DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK PURSUANT TO §5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY STATED THEREIN.

(b)ANY LEGAL SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST BORROWER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE OR ANY OF THE OTHER SECURITY DOCUMENTS SHALL BE INSTITUTED IN ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK OR CHICAGO, ILLINOIS. BORROWER HEREBY (i) IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM, AND (ii) IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. BORROWER HEREBY AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS MAILED OR DELIVERED TO BORROWER IN THE MANNER PROVIDED IN SECTION 15.10 SHALL BE DEEMED IN EVERY RESPECT EFFECTIVE SERVICE OF PROCESS UPON BORROWER IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

15.9Severability. If any term, covenant or provision of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the remainder of this

86

Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall be construed without such term, covenant or provision.

Each party may designate a change of address by notice to the other party, given at least fifteen (15) days before such change of address is to become effective.

15.11Modification. This Agreement may not be Amended except by an agreement in writing executed by the parties hereto. Borrower acknowledges that the Loan Documents set forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the Loan and that no oral or other agreements, understandings, representations or warranties exist with respect to the Loan other than those set forth in the Loan Documents. All prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, are superceded by the terms of the Loan Documents.

15.12Usury Laws. This Agreement and the Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance due under the Note at a rate which could subject the holder of the Note to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower is permitted by law to contract or agree to pay. If by the terms of this Agreement or the Note, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due under the Note at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the rate of interest under the Note shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and the interest payable shall be computed at such maximum rate and all prior interest payments in excess of such maximum rate shall be applied and shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of the principal balance of the Note.

15.13Sole Discretion of Lender. 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 and absolute discretion of Lender 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

88

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 Applicable 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 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 remedies shall be limited to commencing 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.

15.14Reasonableness. If at any time Borrower believes that Lender has not acted reasonably in granting or withholding any approval or consent under the Loan Documents or any other document or instrument now or hereafter executed and delivered in connection therewith or otherwise with respect to the Loan, as to which approval or consent either Lender has expressly agreed to act reasonably, or absent such agreement, a court of law having jurisdiction over the subject matter would require Lender to act reasonably, then Borrower’s sole remedy shall be to seek injunctive relief or specific performance and no action for monetary damages or punitive damages shall in any event or under any circumstance be maintained by Borrower or any other Loan Party against Lender.

15.15Absolute and Unconditional Obligation. Borrower acknowledges that Borrower’s obligation to pay the Debt in accordance with the provisions of the Note and this Agreement is and shall at all times continue to be absolute and unconditional in all respects, and shall at all times be valid and enforceable irrespective of any other agreements or circumstances of any nature whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a defense to the Note or this Agreement or the obligation of Borrower thereunder to pay the Debt or the obligations of any other Person relating to the Loan Documents or the Obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents or otherwise with respect to the Loan, and Borrower absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and all right to assert any defense, setoff, counterclaim or cross-claim of any nature whatsoever with respect to the obligation of Borrower to pay the Debt in accordance with the provisions of the Note and this Agreement or the obligations of any other Person relating to the Loan Documents or Obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents or otherwise with respect to the Loan in any action or proceeding brought by Lender to collect the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to enforce, foreclose and realize upon the lien and security interest created by this Agreement or any other document or instrument securing repayment of the Debt, in whole or in part.

89

15.16Waiver of Right to Trial By Jury. BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FOR ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (a) ARISING UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE EXERCISE OF ANY CURE RIGHTS AND ANY AMENDMENT THERETO OR (b) IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION IS NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND BORROWER HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF BORROWER TO THE WAIVER OF ANY RIGHT IT MIGHT OTHERWISE HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY.

15.17Waiver of Statutory Rights. Borrower shall not, nor shall Borrower permit any Loan Party to, avail itself of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or exemption laws, or any similar laws now existing or hereafter enacted, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement of the Loan Documents or foreclosure of the Security Documents, but hereby waives the benefit of such laws to the full extent that such Person may do so under Applicable Law. Borrower for itself and all who may claim through or under it (including, but not limited to, the Loan Parties) waives any and all right to have the property and estates comprising the Collateral marshaled upon any realization of the lien of any Security Document and agrees that any court having jurisdiction over any exercise of Lender’s remedies may order the Collateral sold as an entirety or in separate parts. Borrower hereby waives for itself and all who may claim through or under it (including, but not limited to, the Loan Parties and the Senior Loan Obligors), and to the full extent Borrower may do so under Applicable Law, any and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure of any Security Document or granted under any statute now existing or hereafter enacted.

15.18Relationship. The relationship of Lender to Borrower hereunder is strictly and solely that of lender and borrower and nothing contained in the Loan Documents or any other document or instrument now or hereafter executed and delivered in connection therewith or otherwise in connection with the Loan is intended to create, or shall in any event or under any circumstance be construed as creating, a partnership, joint venture, tenancy-in-common, joint tenancy or other relationship of any nature whatsoever between Lender and Borrower other than as lender and borrower. Lender neither undertakes nor assumes any responsibility or duty to Borrower, to any other Loan Party or to any third party with respect to any of the Properties, except as expressly provided in this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

15.19Securitization. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender shall have the absolute and unconditional right at any time after the date hereof and at any time during the term of the Loan without requiring any consent or approval from Borrower, any Loan Party or any other person guaranteeing the payment of the Debt or any other

90

Person associated with or connected with the Loan or the Collateral to sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer Lender’s interest in the Loan in whole or in part, or to place one or more participation interests therein in one or more separate transactions, or to effect a syndication or securitization of the Loan in one or more transactions (a “Securitization”), in each case to or with such Persons (including, without limitation, domestic or foreign banks, insurance companies, pension funds, trusts, other institutional lenders or investors, natural persons, grantor trusts, owner trusts, special purpose corporations, REMICs, FASITs, real estate investment trusts or other similar or comparable investment vehicles) (collectively or individually, “Investor”) and on such terms and conditions as Lender shall deem to be appropriate in the exercise of its sole and absolute discretion. In connection with any such sale, assignment, participation, syndication or securitization, Lender shall have the absolute and unconditional right without obtaining the prior consent or approval of any Loan Party or any other Person guaranteeing the payment of the Debt or any other Person associated or connected with the Loan or the Collateral (including the Property Owners) to disclose, deliver and to share with any prospective purchaser of the Loan or of any securities or of any participation or other interest therein (including any such interest to be acquired in connection with a syndication or securitization of the Loan), or with any prospective Rating Agency, or their respective counsel or representatives, such information (financial or otherwise), documents and instruments pertaining to the Loan or any other person, party or entity associated or connected with the Loan or the Collateral (collectively, the “Disclosure Material and Information”) as Lender shall deem to be appropriate in the exercise of its sole and absolute discretion. Borrower shall cooperate, and shall cause each Loan Party and each other Person, associated or connected with the Loan or the Collateral to cooperate, in all reasonable respects with Lender in connection with any sale, assignment, participation, syndication or securitization of the Loan or any interest therein by Lender pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph but at no out-of-pocket cost to Borrower. Without in any manner implying the necessity therefor, Borrower grants to Lender, and shall cause each Loan Party and each other Person associated or connected with the Loan or the Collateral to specifically grant to Lender, the right to distribute any and all of the Disclosure Material and Information in connection with any sale, assignment, participation, syndication or securitization of the Loan or of any interest therein by Lender pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph. Borrower shall execute and deliver, and shall cause each Loan Party and each other Person associated or connected with the Loan or the Collateral to execute and deliver, such documents and instruments as may be reasonably necessary to (a) split the Loan into two or more loans evidenced by and pursuant to separate sets of notes and other related loan documents, or (b) to modify the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, in each case to the full extent required by Lender to facilitate any sale, assignment, pledging, hypothecation, participation, syndication or securitization of the Loan or any interest therein by Lender pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph, it being agreed that (i) any such splitting or modification of the Loan will not materially adversely affect or diminish the rights of any Loan Party as presently set forth in the Loan Documents and will not increase the monetary obligations and liabilities or materially increase the non-monetary obligations of Loan Party under the Loan Documents, and (ii) if the Loan is split, the retained interest of Lender, if any, in the Loan shall be allocated to or among one or more of such separate

91

loans in a manner specified by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion. If Borrower shall default in the performance of its obligation as set forth in this paragraph, and if such default shall not be remedied by Borrower within fifteen (15) days after notice by Lender, Lender shall have the absolute and unconditional right in its sole and absolute discretion to declare such default an Event of Default under this Agreement. Lender shall endeavor to provide notice to Borrower of any such assignment, sale, participation, syndication or securitization of the Loan in a reasonably timely manner, but any failure by Lender to provide notice to Borrower shall not give rise to any claim or defense on the part of any of the Loan Parties, or limit the rights of Lender under this Section 15.19 or the Loan Documents. Until otherwise directed in writing by Lender following the occurrence of any such assignment, sale, participation, syndication or securitization, Borrower shall continue to deliver all payments and deposits as required prior to such occurrence.

15.20Syndications; Participations. (a) Without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 15.19, Lender shall have the right, without the consent of Borrower, to syndicate the Loan and/or assign, transfer, sell, negotiate, pledge or otherwise hypothecate this Agreement and any of its rights and security hereunder, to or with any other Person (an “Assignee”). Borrower hereby agrees that all of the rights and remedies of Lender in connection with the interest so assigned or syndicated shall be enforceable against Borrower by an Assignee with the same force and effect and to the same extent as the same would have been enforceable by Lender but for such assignment or syndication. After the effective date of any such assignment or syndication: (i) the Assignee shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that the rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been assigned to it, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and thereunder, and (ii) Lender shall, to the extent that its rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it, be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents.
