(f) The Certified Rent Roll provided to Lender of even date herewith, is a true, complete and accurate summary of all tenant leases (“Tenant Leases” or individually a “Tenant Lease”) affecting the Property as of the date of this Agreement. No rent has been prepaid under any Tenant Lease except rent for the current month. Each Tenant Lease has been duly executed and delivered by, and, to the knowledge of Original Obligors, is a binding obligation of, the respective tenant, and each Tenant Lease is in full force and effect. Each

Tenant Lease represents the entire agreement between the landlord and the respective tenant and no Tenant Lease has been terminated, renewed, amended, modified or otherwise changed without the prior written consent of Lender as provided in the Loan Documents. Except as explicitly identified on the certified rent roll dated September 30, 2005, provided by Original Borrower, the tenant under each Tenant Lease has taken possession of and is in occupancy of the premises therein described and is open for business. Except as explicitly identified on the certified rent roll dated September 30, 2005, provided by Original Borrower, rent payments have commenced under each Tenant Lease, and all tenant improvements in such premises and other conditions to occupancy and/or rent commencement have been completed by Landlord. All obligations of the landlord under the Tenant Leases have been performed, and no event has occurred and no condition exists that, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default by Landlord under any Tenant Lease. There are no offsets or defenses that any tenant has against the full enforcement of any Tenant Lease by the landlord thereunder. Each Tenant Lease is fully and freely assignable by the landlord without notice to or the consent of the tenant thereunder.

(g) Original Borrower is the current owner of the Property. There are no pending or threatened suits, judgments, arbitration proceeding, administrative claims, executions or other legal or equitable actions or proceedings against Original Obligors or the Property, or any pending or threatened condemnation or annexation proceedings affecting the Property, or any agreements to convey any portion of the Property, or any rights thereto, not disclosed in this Agreement, including, without limitation to any governmental agency.

(h) No representation or warranty of Original Obligors made in this Agreement contains any untrue statement of material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make such representations and warranties not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they are made.

16. Incorporation of Recitals. Each of the Recitals set forth above in this Agreement are incorporated herein and made a part hereof.

17. Property Remains as Security for Lender. All of the Mortgaged Property as described and defined in the Mortgage shall remain in all respects subject to the lien, charge or encumbrance of the Mortgage, and, except as expressly set forth herein, nothing herein contained and nothing done pursuant hereto shall affect or be construed to release or affect the liability of any party or parties who may now or hereafter be liable under or on account of the Note or the Mortgage, nor shall anything herein contained or done in pursuance hereof affect or be construed to affect any other security for the Note, if any, held by Lender.

18. No Waiver by Lender. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of any of Lender’s rights or remedies under any of the Loan Documents, or under applicable law.

19. References. From and after the date hereof: (a) references in any of the Loan Documents to any of the other Loan Documents will be deemed to be references to such of the Loan Documents as modified by this Agreement; (b) references in the Loan Documents to Borrower or Mortgagor shall hereafter be deemed to refer to Assuming Borrower; (c) references in the Indemnity Agreement, Environmental Indemnity Agreement and the other Loan

Documents to the Guarantor, Indemnitor or Principal shall hereafter be deemed to refer to Assuming Indemnitor; and (d) all references to the term “Loan Documents” in the Mortgage and Assignment of Rents shall hereinafter refer to the Loan Documents referred to herein, this Agreement, and all documents executed in connection with Agreement.

20. Relationship with Loan Documents. To the extent that this Agreement is inconsistent with the Loan Documents, this Agreement will control and the Loan Documents will be deemed to be amended hereby. Except as amended hereby, the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

21. Captions. The headings to the Sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall in no way modify or restrict any provisions hereof or be used to construe any such provisions.

22. Partial Invalidity. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, such provision shall be fully severable, and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Agreement.

23. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents contemplated to be executed herewith constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the assumption of the Loan and shall not be amended unless such amendment is in writing and executed by each of the parties. The Agreement supersedes all prior negotiations regarding the subject matter hereof. This Agreement and the Loan Documents may not be amended, revised, waived, discharged, released or terminated orally, but only by a written instrument or instruments executed by the party against which enforcement of the amendment, revision, waiver, discharge, release or termination is asserted. Any alleged amendment, revision, waiver, discharge, release or termination which is not so documented shall not be effective as to any party.

24. Binding Effect. This Agreement and the documents contemplated to be executed in connection herewith shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not be deemed to be a consent by Lender to any further sale, conveyance, assignment or transfer of the Property by Assuming Borrower.

25. Multiple Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which will be an original, but all of which, taken together, will constitute one and the same Agreement.

26. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State where the Property is located.

27. Effective Date. This Agreement shall be effective as of the date of its execution by the parties hereto and thereupon is incorporated into the terms of the Loan Documents.

28. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to all provisions of this Agreement.

29. Cumulative Remedies. All remedies contained in this Agreement are cumulative and Lender shall also have all other remedies provided at law and in equity or in the Mortgage and other Loan Documents. Such remedies may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently at the sole subjective direction of Lender and may be exercised in any order and as often as occasion therefor shall arise.

30. Construction. Each party hereto acknowledges that it has participated in the negotiation of this Agreement and that no provision shall be construed against or interpreted to the disadvantage of any party. Assuming Obligors and Original Obligors have had sufficient time to review this Agreement, have been represented by legal counsel at all times, have entered into this Agreement voluntarily and without fraud, duress, undue influence or coercion of any kind. No representations or warranties have been made by Lender to any party except as set forth in this Agreement.

31. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. ORIGINAL OBLIGORS, ASSUMING OBLIGORS AND LENDER, TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, HEREBY KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY, WITH AND UPON THE ADVICE OF COMPETENT COUNSEL, WAIVE, RELINQUISH AND FOREVER FORGO THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THIS.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Loan Assumption and Substitution Agreement to be duly executed by their duly authorized representatives as of the date above written.
