Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any reasonable third party costs incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including without limitation, any interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the Loan. Upon written demand from Borrower, Agent or Lender shall demonstrate in reasonable detail the circumstances giving rise to Lender's determination and the calculation substantiating the Adjusted Rate and any additional costs incurred by Lender in making the conversion, which, upon written notice thereof from Agent or Lender, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In the event Lender shall determine in its good faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower) that the aforesaid circumstances no longer exist, the Contract Rate shall be converted back to the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin commencing on the first day of the Interest Period which occurs at least three (3) days after such determination by Lender. (b) In the event that any change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof other than changes relating to income, excise, franchise or other taxes applicable to Lender, or compliance in good faith by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter issued by any central bank or other Governmental Authority: (i) shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds, by any office of Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate hereunder; -20- (ii) shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material; or (iii) shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable as determined by Lender (collectively, "INCREASED COSTS"). If Lender becomes entitled to claim any Increased Costs pursuant to this Section, Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than thirty (30) days' written notice specifying in reasonable detail the event or circumstance by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully-compensate Lender for such Increased Costs. A certificate as to any Increased Costs submitted by Agent or Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This provision shall survive the repayment of the Loan and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents. (c) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from, and to be responsible for paying, any Conversion Costs. This provision shall survive payment of the Loan in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents. As used herein "CONVERSION COSTS" means any reasonable third party loss or expense which Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (a) any default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on the Loan while bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate (plus the Applicable Margin), including, without limitation, any such expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the LIBOR Rate (plus the Applicable Margin), (b) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the Loan on a day that (i) is not on the last day of the Interest Period (including, without limitation, the Prepayment Fee and the Breakage Fee, each to the extent applicable) or (ii) is on the last day of the Interest Period if Borrower did not give the prior written notice of such prepayment required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, such expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the LIBOR Rate (plus the Applicable Margin) hereunder and (c) the conversion (for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of the LIBOR Rate (plus the Applicable Margin) to the Adjusted Rate with respect to any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan then bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate (plus the Applicable Margin) on a date other than on the last day of the Interest Period, including, without limitation, such expenses arising from interest or fees payable or which would be payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the LIBOR Rate hereunder. (d) All payments made by Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, Foreign Taxes, excluding, in the case of the Lender, taxes measured by its income, and franchise taxes imposed on it. If any non-excluded Foreign Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts -21- payable to Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Lender (after payment of all non-excluded Foreign Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rate or in the amounts specified hereunder. Whenever any non-excluded Foreign Tax is payable pursuant to applicable law by Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter, Borrower shall send to Lender an original official receipt, if available, or certified copy thereof showing payment of such non-excluded Foreign Tax. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Lender for, and to be responsible for the payment of, any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Lender which may result from any failure by Borrower to pay any such non-excluded Foreign Tax when due to the appropriate taxing authority or any failure by Borrower to remit to Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence. Lender's inability to notify Borrower of any such Foreign Tax in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall in no way relieve Borrower of its obligations under this Section. As used herein "FOREIGN TAXES" means, collectively, income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, reserves or withholdings imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, which are imposed, enacted or become effective after the date hereof. As used herein "GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY" shall mean any court, board, agency, commission, office or other authority of any nature whatsoever for any governmental unit (federal, state, county, district, municipal, city or otherwise) whether new or hereafter in existence. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the foregoing obligation to pay such additional amounts resulting from the payment of Foreign Taxes shall not apply to any payment to Lender if Lender is, on the date hereof (or on the date that it becomes a Lender hereunder), entitled to submit either a Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-8IMY (relating to such Lender and certifying its complete exemption from Foreign Taxes in respect of the Loan) and does submit such Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-8IMY and such exemption remains in effect throughout the term of the Loan with respect to Lender (other than by reason of a change in law after the date of this Agreement). (e) If Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law (other than with respect to any amendment made to Lender's certificate of incorporation and by-laws or other organizational or governing documents) regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Lender or any corporation controlling Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender's or such corporation's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender or such corporation would have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender's or such corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Lender to be material, then from time to time, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such reduction. (f) If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify Borrower of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. -22- 2.08 Limitation on Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto to conform strictly to applicable usury laws. Accordingly, all agreements between Borrower and Lender with respect to the Loan are hereby expressly limited so that in no event, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Lender or charged by Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be lent hereunder or otherwise, exceed the maximum amount allowed by law. If the Loan would be usurious under applicable law (including the laws of the State and the laws of the United States of America), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents: (a) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under applicable law that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received under the Loan Documents shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, and any excess shall be credited, without any Prepayment Fee, to the outstanding principal of the Revolving Loan and then the Term Loan; and (b) if the Maturity Date is accelerated by reason of an election by Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, or in the event of any prepayment, then any consideration which constitutes interest may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by applicable law. In such case, excess interest, if any, provided for in the Loan Documents or otherwise, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread from the date of advance until payment in full thereof so that the actual rate of interest is uniform through the term hereof. If such amortization, proration, allocation and spreading is not permitted under applicable law, then such excess interest shall be cancelled automatically on the Note as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited, without any Prepayment Fee, to the outstanding principal of the Revolving Loan and then the Term Loan. The terms and provisions of this Section 2.08 shall control and supersede every other provision of the Loan Documents. The Loan Documents are contracts made under and shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as set forth in Section 12.09 hereof, except that if at any time the laws of the United States of America permit Lender to contract for, take, reserve, charge or receive a higher rate of interest than is allowed by the laws of the State (whether such federal laws directly so provide or refer to the law of any state), then such federal laws shall to such extent govern as to the rate of interest which Lender may contract for, take, reserve, charge or receive under the Loan Documents. Section 3. Payments; Computations; Etc.. 3.01 Payments. (a) All payments of principal, interest and other amounts to be made by Borrower under this Agreement, the Note and any other Loan Document, shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Agent, for the benefit of Lender. All such payments that are regularly scheduled monthly payments of interest and all other payments from Borrower to Agent or Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the following account of Agent or to any other account designated by Agent in writing to Borrower: Citibank, New York, New York ABA: 021000089 For Account Of: MASSMUTUAL COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE -23- ELBX Account: 30510765 Reference: Loan Nos. 08-10807 and 08-10808 (b) If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or the Notes would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue and be payable for any principal so extended for the period of such extension. (c) Each payment received by Lender hereunder, under the Notes or any other Loan Document shall be applied in the following order: (i) First, to the interest due on any advances made by Lender or Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (ii) Next, to the principal amount of any advances made by Lender or Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (iii) Next, to late charges, attorneys' fees or any other amount due hereunder or under any other Loan Document save for the amounts described in clauses (iv), (v) and (vi) immediately below; (iv) Next, to any Prepayment Fee and any Breakage Fee then due and payable under this Agreement; (v) Next, to accrued interest due Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; and (vi) Next, to the principal balance of the of the Revolving Loan; (vii) Finally, to the principal balance of the Term Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the continuance of an Event of Default or in the event that Borrower does not pay the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest due under this Agreement, when due, whether on the Maturity Date or on any earlier date as a result of acceleration of the Loan, Agent and Lender shall apply any payments Agent or Lender then receives in such order as Agent and Lender deems appropriate in their sole discretion. 3.02 Computations. Interest on the Loans shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed occurring in the period for which payable. 3.03 Fees. (a) Commitment Fee. On or before the Effective Date, Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the account of Lender, the Commitment Fee. (b) Unused Revolving Loan Fee. On the tenth (10th) day of each calendar quarter prior to the Maturity Date (January 10, April 10, July 10 and October 10) and on the -24- Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay Lender a fee (the "UNUSED REVOLVING LOAN FEE") in an amount equal to thirty-two (32) basis points (per quarter) multiplied by the difference between the Maximum Revolving Loan Credit and the average daily outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loan for the immediately preceding calendar quarter, as calculated by Agent. If applicable, the first and last payment of the Unused Revolving Loan Fee shall be prorated if the period of time between the Effective Date and the end of the then current calendar quarter or the period of time between the end of the prior calendar quarter and the Maturity Date is less than a full calendar quarter. Section 4. Collateral Security. 4.01 Collateral; Security Interest. (a) Pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, the Custodian shall hold the Mortgage Loan Documents and the Pledged Securities as exclusive bailee, agent and securities intermediary, within the meaning of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code, for the benefit of Agent on behalf of Lender pursuant to terms of the Custodial Agreement and shall deliver Trust Receipts (as defined in the Custodial Agreement) to Agent each to the effect, inter alia, that it has reviewed such Mortgage Loan Documents in the manner and to the extent required by the Custodial Agreement and identifying any deficiencies in such Mortgage Loan Documents as so reviewed.

At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Agent, and at the sole expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly and duly execute and deliver, or will promptly cause to be executed and delivered, such further instruments and documents and take such further action as Agent may reasonably request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, without limitation, the filing of any financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the Liens created hereby. Borrower also hereby authorizes Agent to file any such financing or continuation statement without the signature of Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Borrower's federal tax identification number is 41-1755339 and its organizational identification number is 7W-157. Borrower shall promptly notify Agent of any change in any such tax identification number or organizational identification number. 4.04 Agent's Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact. (a) Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Borrower and in the name of Borrower or in its own name, from time to time in Lender's discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute -26- any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement; provided that Agent hereby agrees that it shall not exercise its rights as attorney-in-fact unless an Event of Default shall have occurred. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower hereby gives Agent the power and right, on behalf of Borrower, without assent by, but with notice to, Borrower, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to do the following: (i) in the name of Borrower or its own name, or otherwise, to take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any mortgage insurance or with respect to any other Collateral and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any such mortgage insurance or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable; (ii) to pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral; and (iii) (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to Agent or as Agent shall direct; (B) to ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (C) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (E) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Borrower with respect to any Collateral; (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Agent may deem appropriate; and (G) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Agent's option and Borrower's expense, at any time, and from time to time, all acts and things which Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and Agent's Liens thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Borrower might do. Borrower hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. (b) Borrower also authorizes Agent, at any time and from time to time, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 4.07 or Section 9 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral and to file any initial financing statement, amendments thereto and continuation statements with or without the signature of any Borrower as authorized by applicable law, as applicable to all or any part of the Collateral. -27- (c) The powers conferred on Agent are solely to protect Lender's interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Agent to exercise any such powers. Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, or employees shall be responsible to Borrower for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 4.05 Performance by Agent of Borrower's Obligations. If Borrower fails to perform or comply with any of its covenants, agreements or obligations contained in the Loan Documents (except with respect to the payment of any amounts, whether in respect of any principal, interest or otherwise, owing to Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document) and Agent itself performs or complies, or otherwise causes performance or compliance, with such agreement, the expenses of Agent incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, shall be payable by Borrower to Agent on demand and shall constitute Secured Obligations. 4.06 Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, (a) all proceeds of Collateral received by Borrower consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by Borrower in trust for Agent, for the benefit of Lender, segregated from other funds of Borrower, and shall forthwith be turned over by Borrower to the Custodian, to be held in trust by the Custodian for Agent, for the benefit of Lender, and, upon receipt by the Custodian of written notice from Agent directing that Collateral proceeds in a specified amount be turned over to Agent and confirming that the Collateral proceeds so turned over will be applied promptly by Agent first to the payment of Borrower's obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Custodian shall turn over to Agent such specified Collateral proceeds in the exact form received by the Custodian (duly endorsed by Borrower to Agent, if required), (b) any and all such Collateral proceeds received by Agent shall, promptly following Agent's receipt thereof, be applied to repayment in full (or to the fullest extent possible) of all outstanding obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (c) Agent shall, upon completion of the foregoing, confirm in writing to the Custodian the application of such Collateral proceeds in accordance with the foregoing and the nature and amount of all indebtedness repaid in whole or in part. For purposes hereof, Collateral proceeds shall include, but not be limited to, all principal and interest payments, all prepayments and payoffs, insurance claims, condemnation awards, sale proceeds, real estate owned rents and any other income and all other amounts received with respect to the Collateral. 4.07 Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Agent may, at its option and at Borrower's expense, enter into one or more Interest Rate Protection Agreements covering all or a portion of the Mortgage Loans pledged to Agent, for the benefit of Lender hereunder, and Borrower shall be responsible for all damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent relating to or arising out of such Interest Rate Protection Agreements; including, without limitation, any losses resulting from such Interest Rate Protection Agreements. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Agent may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any other Loan Document, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice -28- of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon Borrower or any other Person (each and all of which demands, presentments, protests, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels or as an entirety at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker's board or office of Agent or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Borrower, which right or equity is hereby waived or released. Borrower further agrees, at Agent's request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Agent at places that Agent shall reasonably select, whether at Borrower's premises or elsewhere. Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of Agent hereunder, including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in such order as Agent may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by Agent of any other amount required or permitted by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Sections 9-608(a) and 9-615(a) of the Uniform Commercial Code, and Agent shall account for the surplus, if any, to Borrower. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against Agent or Lender arising out of the exercise by Agent or Lender of any of their respective rights hereunder, other than those claims, damages and demands arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or Lender. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10) days before such sale or other disposition. Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency (plus accrued interest thereon at the Default Rate) if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by Agent to collect such deficiency. 4.08 Limitation on Duties Regarding Preservation of Collateral. Agent's duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither Agent, Lender nor any of their respective directors, officers or employees shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Borrower or otherwise. 4.09 Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest. -29- 4.10 Release of Security Interest. Upon termination of this Agreement and repayment to Lender of all Secured Obligations and the performance of all obligations under the Loan Documents, Agent shall release its security interest in any remaining Collateral. 4.11 Additional and Substitute Mortgage Loans. So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, Borrower may add an Eligible Mortgage Loan or Eligible Mortgage Loans to the Mortgage Loans constituting the Collateral upon satisfaction of each of the following conditions, as determined by Agent and Lender in their sole discretion: (a) At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date Borrower proposes to add an Eligible Mortgage Loan to the Collateral, Borrower shall deliver to Agent the Mortgage Loan Documents, the Mortgage File and the Mortgage Data File for said Mortgage Loan; an appraisal of the Mortgaged Property, an environmental site assessment for the Mortgaged Property, an engineering or property condition report for the buildings, improvements and building systems on the Mortgaged Property, an ALTA survey of the Mortgaged Property, a title insurance policy insuring the Mortgage (or a marked up title insurance commitment or pro-forma title insurance policy, so long as the title insurance coverage reflected thereon is in full force and effect), financial statements for the Mortgagor and the Mortgaged Property, insurance certificates and all other information, documents and material relating to the Mortgagor or the Mortgaged Property as Agent or Lender may reasonably request. (b) The Mortgage Loan shall comply with the Underwriting Guidelines; (c) Borrower shall pay an underwriting fee to Agent in the amount of $2,500.00 for each Eligible Mortgage Loan for which Borrower seeks Agent's approval as a Mortgage Loan to be included in the Collateral; which fee shall be due and payable by Borrower simultaneously with Borrower's delivery to Agent of the items set forth in Section 4.11(a) above and shall be non-refundable regardless of whether Agent approves the proposed Mortgage Loan; and (d) Borrower shall pay all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by Agent or Lender in connection with Borrower's request for approval of the proposed Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to Agent and Lender. Borrower may add an Eligible Mortgage Loan or Eligible Mortgage Loans to the Mortgage Loans constituting the Collateral in order to increase the Borrowing Base, to satisfy the covenant by Borrower set forth in Section 2.05(b) of this Agreement, or to replace a Mortgage Loan that has been repaid or to replace a Mortgage Loan that no longer constitutes an Eligible Mortgage Loan. 4.12 Cash Collateral. Upon Borrower's request for Agent to release a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.05(c) of this Agreement, if the release of said Mortgage Loan will, in Agent's determination, cause a Borrowing Base Deficiency, or at any other time when a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists or when a breach of the covenant by Borrower set forth in Section 2.05(b) of this Agreement exists, Borrower may elect to cure or eliminate the Borrowing Base Deficiency and/or the breach of Section 2.05(b) by delivering to the Custodian, on behalf of -30- Agent under this Agreement and the Custodial Agreement, Cash Collateral in an amount determined by Agent to be sufficient to cure or eliminate the Borrowing Base Deficiency and/or the breach of Section 2.05(b). All Cash Collateral shall be held by Custodian for the benefit of Agent and Lender and, Agent shall have a perfected security interest therein. All Cash Collateral shall be added to and deemed to be a part of the Borrowing Base in accordance with the formula set forth in the definition of Borrowing Base. 4.13 Pledged Securities. In addition to Mortgage Loans and Cash Collateral, but subject to the limitations established by Borrower's covenant set forth in Section 2.05(b) of this Agreement, Borrower may pledge to Agent, for the benefit of Lender, Eligible Securities as Collateral upon satisfaction of each of the following conditions, as determined by Agent and Lender in their sole discretion: (a) At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date Borrower proposes to add an Eligible Security to the Collateral, Borrower shall deliver to Agent evidence of Borrower's beneficial ownership of the applicable Eligible Security by virtue of Borrower having a security entitlement with the Custodian with respect thereto and the then current fair market value of the applicable Eligible Security and such other information as may be reasonably requested by Lender or Agent; (b) Borrower shall pay all reasonable out of pocket expense incurred by Agent or Lender in connection with Borrower's request for approval of the proposed Eligible Securities, including but not limited to the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to Agent and Lender; and (c) The Pledged Securities shall continue to be Eligible Securities only so long as the Pledged Securities satisfy the requirements of Eligible Securities, as determined by Lender in its sole but reasonable discretion from time to time during the term of the Loan, and the value of Pledged Securities shall be determined by Lender from time to time during the term of the Loan in its sole but reasonable discretion. Borrower may add Eligible Securities to the Collateral in order to increase the Borrowing Base or to replace a Mortgage Loan that has been repaid or to replace a Mortgage Loan that no longer constitutes an Eligible Mortgage Loan. Section 5. Conditions Precedent. 5.01 Term Loan and Initial Revolving Loan Advance. The obligation of Lender to make the Term Loan and the initial Revolving Loan Advance being advanced to Borrower on or about the date of this Agreement is subject to the satisfaction, immediately prior to or concurrently with the making of such Loans, of the condition precedent that Agent shall have received all of the following items, each of which shall be satisfactory to Agent and Lender in form and substance: (a) Loan Documents. -31- (i) Loan Agreement.

However, if the initial Funding Date is the same date as the date hereof, payment of the Legal Fees shall be made by deduction of such Legal Fees from the Loan proceeds disbursed by Agent to Borrower on such Funding Date. 5.02 All Loans. The making of each Loan to Borrower (including the Term Loan and all Revolving Loan Advances) is subject to the satisfaction of the following further conditions precedent, both immediately prior to the making of such Loan and also after giving effect thereto and to the intended use thereof: (a) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (b) both immediately prior to the making of such Loan and also after giving effect thereto and to the intended use thereof, the representations and warranties made by Borrower in Section 6 and Schedule 1 hereof, and elsewhere in each of the Loan Documents, shall be true, correct and complete on and as of the date of the making of such Loan in all material respects (in the case of the representations and warranties in Section 6.10 and Schedule 1, solely with respect to Mortgage Loans and Eligible Securities included in the Borrowing Base) with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date).

Upon the occurrence of one or more Events of Default other than those referred to in Sections 8(g) and 8(h), Agent may, at the direction of Lender, immediately declare the principal amount of the Loans then outstanding under the Note to be immediately due and payable, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and fees and expenses accruing under this Agreement. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default referred to in Sections 8(g) and 8(h), such amounts shall immediately and automatically become due and payable without any further action by any Person. Upon such declaration or such automatic acceleration, the balance then outstanding on the Note shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower. (ii) Agent and Lender shall have the right to obtain, and Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered, on demand, physical possession of the Servicing Records and all other files of Borrower relating to the Collateral and all documents relating to the Collateral which are then or may thereafter come in to the possession of Borrower or any third parties acting for Borrower and Borrower shall deliver to Agent such assignments as Agent shall request. Agent and Lender shall be entitled to specific performance of all agreements of Borrower contained in this Agreement. (iii) Lender may declare the Loans and all amounts owing under the Loan Documents immediately due and payable, without notice, demand, presentment, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of intent to demand, protest, or other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower. (iv) In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to Agent and Lender in this Agreement and in any other Loan Documents, Agent and Lender shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent or Lender may (a) without demand or notice to Borrower, collect, receive, or take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof and for that purpose Agent or Lender may enter upon any premises on which the Collateral is located and remove the collateral therefrom or render it inoperable, and/or (B) sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at Agent's or Lender's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, or for future delivery. Upon the request of Agent or Lender, -45- Borrower shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to Agent or Lender at any place designated by Agent or Lender that is reasonably convenient to Borrower, Agent and Lender. Borrower agrees that neither Agent nor Lender shall be obligated to give more than ten (10) days written notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale may take place and that such notice shall constitute reasonable notice of such matters. Borrower shall be liable for all expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, or the like, and all reasonable attorneys' fees, legal expenses, and all other expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the collection of the Loans and the enforcement of Agent's and Lender's rights under this Agreement and the Loan Documents. Agent or Lender may apply the Collateral against the Loans and all amounts owing under the Loan Documents in such order and manner as Agent and Lender may elect in its sole discretion. (v) Agent or Lender may cause any or all of the Collateral held by it to be transferred into the name of Agent or Lender or the name or names of Agent's or Lender's nominee or nominees. (vi) Lender shall have any and all other remedies available at law or equity. (b) Remedies Cumulative. No disbursement of proceeds of the Loan shall constitute a waiver of any conditions to Lender's obligation to make further disbursements nor, in the event Borrower is unable to satisfy any such conditions, shall any such waiver have the effect of precluding Lender from thereafter declaring such inability to constitute a default under this Agreement. No failure or delay on the part of Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder, the Note or any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. Except as specifically provided herein, all rights and remedies existing under this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are cumulative to and not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise available. Section 10. No Duty of Agent and Lender. The powers conferred on Agent and Lender hereunder are solely to protect Lender's interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Agent and Lender shall be accountable only for amounts that each actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither Lender nor Agent nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Borrower for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Section 11. Agent. 11.01 Appointment. Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Babson Capital Management LLC, and Babson Capital Management LLC hereby accepts such designation and appointment, as Agent on behalf of Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and Lender irrevocably authorizes Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to Agent by the terms of this -46- Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Agent. 11.02 Delegation of Duties. Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. 11.03 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except for its or such Person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by Borrower or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. Agent shall not be under any obligation to Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of Borrower. 11.04 Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon the Note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. Agent may deem and treat the payee of the Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with Agent. As between Agent and Lender, Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of Lender as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by Lender against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. As between Agent and Lender, Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of Lender, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Lender and all future holders of the Loans. -47- 11.05 Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the existence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder (other than Agent's actual notice or knowledge of an Event of Default under Section 8 hereof) unless Agent has received notice from Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default". In the event that Agent receives such a notice of default, Agent shall give notice thereof to Lender. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by Lender; provided that unless and until Agent shall have received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of Lender. 11.06 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lender. Lender expressly acknowledges that neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Agent to Lender. Lender represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be provided by Borrower to Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, which Agent must distribute promptly to Lender, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of Borrower which may come into the possession of Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates. 11.07 Indemnification. Lender agrees to indemnify Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that Lender shall not be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. -48- 11.08 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower as though Agent were not Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. With respect to the Loans made by it, Agent shall have the same rights, powers and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" shall include Agent in its individual capacity. 11.09 Successor Agent. Agent may resign as Agent upon thirty (30) days' notice to Lender and to Borrower. If Agent shall resign as Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then Lender shall appoint a successor Agent for Lender, and any such successor Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of Agent, and the term "Agent" shall mean such successor Agent effective upon such appointment, and the former Agent's rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans and Note. If no successor Agent has been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent's giving notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent, on behalf of Lender, may appoint an Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. After any retiring Agent's resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Section 11 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Section 12. Miscellaneous. 12.01 Waiver. No failure on the part of Agent or Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under any Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. 12.02 Notices.

A party receiving a notice that does not comply with the technical requirements for notice under this Section 12.02 may elect to waive any deficiencies and treat the notice as having been properly given. The parties acknowledge and agree that e-mail addresses have been provided and may only be used for providing another party to this Agreement with Deliverables, as opposed to notices. Any notice requirement under this Agreement may not be satisfied via e-mail or other electronic communication and must be sent pursuant to either clause (i) or clause (ii) of this Section 12.02(a). (b) Borrower acknowledges that Lender and Agent may elect to correspond or transmit information concerning the Loan or Borrower to Borrower and to investors, co-lenders, participants and other third parties via email or the internet. Such transmissions shall be for the convenience of the parties hereto and shall not replace or supplement the required methods of delivering notices provided for above. In addition, Borrower acknowledges that that such information may be transmitted via the internet or by email and with or without any algorithm enhanced security software and Borrower waives any right to privacy in connection therewith. (c) Borrower shall notify Lender promptly of the occurrence of any of the following: (i) receipt of notice from any Governmental Authority relating to a Mortgage Loan; (ii) any material adverse change with respect to a Mortgage Loan; or (iii) receipt of any notice from the holder of any other lien or security interest in any Mortgage Loan.

Furthermore, Borrower shall copy Lender on all communications and notices directed to Agent and shall copy Agent on all communications and notices directed to Lender. 12.03 Indemnification and Expenses. (a) Borrower agrees to hold Agent, Lender, and each of their respective Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each an "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") harmless from and indemnify any Indemnified Party against all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party (collectively, the "COSTS") relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Note, any other Loan Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the Note, any other Loan Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, that, in each case, results from anything other than any Indemnified Party's (i) gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (ii) actions, to the extent that they are determined in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to constitute a breach by Agent and Lender of a written agreement between Agent and Lender and any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees to hold any Indemnified Party harmless from and indemnify such Indemnified Party against all Costs with respect to all Mortgage Loans relating to or arising out of any violation or alleged violation of any environmental law, rule or regulation or any consumer credit laws, including, without limitation, laws with respect to unfair or deceptive lending practices, and Predatory Lending Practices, the Truth in Lending Act and/or the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, that, in each case, results from anything other than such Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by an Indemnified Party in connection with any Mortgage Loan for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Mortgage Loan, Borrower will save, indemnify and hold such Indemnified Party harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by Borrower of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor or its successors from Borrower. Borrower also agrees to reimburse an Indemnified Party as and when billed by such Indemnified Party for all such Indemnified Party's costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of such Indemnified Party's rights under this Agreement, the Note, any other Loan Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel. Borrower hereby acknowledges that, notwithstanding the fact that the Note is secured by the Collateral, the obligations of Borrower under the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are recourse obligations of Borrower. (b) Borrower agrees to pay as and when billed by Agent all of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement, the Note, any other Loan Document or any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith. Borrower agrees to pay as and when billed by Lender all of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with any actions taken at the request of Borrower with respect to the -52- consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby including without limitation (i) all the reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of counsel to Agent; (ii) all fees, disbursements and expenses of the Custodian and (iii) in the event of a Default or Event of Default under this Agreement, all the due diligence, inspection, testing and review costs and expenses incurred by Agent with respect to Collateral under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, those costs and expenses incurred by Lender pursuant to Sections 12.03(a) and 12.15 hereof. 12.04 Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.04. Lender may, or, with the written consent of Lender, Agent may, from time to time, (a) enter into with Borrower written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of Lender or of Borrower hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as Lender or Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall: (i) reduce the amount or extend the scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or of any installment thereof, or reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, in each case without the consent of Lender, or (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 12.04 or consent to the assignment or transfer by Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or release any of the Collateral (except in accordance with this Agreement upon repayment of all amounts owing under the Loan Documents in respect of such Collateral) in each case without the written consent of Lender, or (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 11 without the written consent of the then Agent; provided, that any waiver, amendment, supplement or modification shall be binding upon Borrower, Lender, Agent and all future holders of the Loans and, in the case of any waiver, Borrower, Lender and Agent shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon; and, provided, further, that each waiver, amendment, supplement or modification shall become effective on the second (2nd) Business Day after receipt by Agent of a fully executed original thereof. 12.05 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. -53- 12.06 Survival. The obligations of Borrower under Sections 2.07 and 12.03 hereof shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of this Agreement. In addition, each representation and warranty made or deemed to be made by a request for a borrowing, herein or pursuant hereto shall survive the making of such representation and warranty, and Lender shall not be deemed to have waived, by reason of making any Loan, any Default that may arise because any such representation or warranty shall have proved to be false or misleading, notwithstanding that Lender may have had notice or knowledge or reason to believe that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time such Loan was made. 12.07 Captions. The table of contents and captions and section headings appearing herein are included solely for convenience of reference and are not intended to affect the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. 12.08 Counterparts.

BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY: (A) SUBMITS FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR FOR RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT IN RESPECT THEREOF, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE GENERAL JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS, THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS, AND APPELLATE COURTS FROM ANY THEREOF; (B) CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN SUCH COURTS AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME; (C) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH UNDER ITS SIGNATURE BELOW OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH AGENT SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED; AND -54- (D) AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT TO SUE IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. 12.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF BORROWER, LENDER AND AGENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. 12.12 Acknowledgments. Borrower hereby acknowledges that: (a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents; (b) Lender has no fiduciary relationship to Borrower, and the relationship between Borrower and Lender is solely that of debtor and creditor; and (c) no joint venture exists between Lender and Borrower. 12.13 Hypothecation or Pledge of Loans. Subject to the terms of the Custodial Agreement, Agent, acting at the direction of Lender, shall have free and unrestricted use of all of Lender's interest in the Collateral and nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Lender from engaging in repurchase transactions with Lender's interest in the Collateral or otherwise pledging, repledging, transferring, hypothecating, or rehypothecating Lender's interest in the Collateral, on terms, and subject to conditions, within Lender's absolute discretion. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall obligate Agent to segregate any Collateral delivered to Agent by Borrower. 12.14 Servicing. (a) Borrower covenants to maintain or cause the servicing of the Mortgage Loans to be maintained in conformity with Accepted Servicing Practices in the industry for the same type of mortgage loans as the Mortgage Loans and in a manner at least equal in quality to the servicing Borrower provides for other mortgage loans which it owns. In the event that the preceding language is interpreted as constituting one or more servicing contracts, each such servicing contract shall terminate automatically upon the earliest of (i) an Event of Default, (ii) the date on which all the Secured Obligations have been paid in full, or (iii) the transfer of servicing approved by Borrower. (b) If any of the Mortgage Loans are serviced by Borrower, (i) Borrower agrees that Agent is the collateral assignee of all servicing records, including but not limited to any and all servicing agreements, files, documents, records, data bases, computer tapes, copies of computer tapes, proof of insurance coverage, insurance policies, appraisals, other closing documentation, payment history records, and any other records relating to or evidencing the servicing of Mortgage Loans (the "SERVICING RECORDS"), and (ii) Borrower grants Agent, for the -55- benefit of Lender, a security interest in all servicing fees and rights relating to the Mortgage Loans and all Servicing Records to secure the obligation of Borrower or its designee to service the Mortgage Loans in conformity with this Section and any other obligation of Borrower to Lender. Borrower covenants to safeguard such Servicing Records and to deliver them promptly to Agent or its designee (including the Custodian) at Agent's request. (c) If any of the Mortgage Loans are serviced by a third party servicer (such third party servicer, the "SERVICER"), Borrower (i) shall provide a copy of the servicing agreement to Agent, which shall be in form and substance acceptable to Agent (the "SERVICING AGREEMENT"), (ii) shall provide a Servicer Notice and Agreement to the Servicer substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto (a "SERVICER NOTICE AND AGREEMENT") and shall cause the Servicer to acknowledge and agree to the same and (iii) hereby irrevocably assigns to Lender and such Lender's successors and assigns all right, title and interest of Borrower in, to and under, and the benefits of, and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Any successor or assignee of a Servicer shall be approved in writing by Lender and shall acknowledge and agree to a Servicer Notice and Agreement prior to such successor's assumption of servicing obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loans. (d) If the servicer of the Mortgage Loans is Borrower or an Affiliate of Borrower, Borrower shall provide to Agent a letter from the Servicer, as the case may be, to the effect that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Agent may terminate any Servicing Agreement and transfer servicing to Agent's designee, at no cost or expense to Agent, it being agreed that Borrower will pay any and all fees required to terminate the Servicing Agreement and to effectuate the transfer of servicing to the designee of Agent. (e) After the Funding Date, until the pledge of any Mortgage Loan is relinquished by the Custodian, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Agent, Borrower will have no right to modify or alter the terms of such Mortgage Loan and Borrower will have no obligation or right to repossess such Mortgage Loan or substitute another Mortgage Loan, except as provided in this Agreement. (f) In the event Borrower or its Affiliate is servicing the Mortgage Loans, Borrower shall permit Agent to inspect Borrower's or its Affiliate's servicing facilities, as the case may be, for the purpose of satisfying Agent that Borrower or its Affiliate, as the case may be, has the ability to service the Mortgage Loans as provided in this Agreement. (g) Borrower represents that each Servicing Agreement can be terminated by Borrower without cause and without payment of any termination fee or other fee upon not greater than sixty (60) days prior written notice to the Servicer thereunder. Borrower shall not modify or amend any Servicing Agreement without Agent's prior written consent. Borrower represents that each Servicing Agreement is in full force and effect and no default or event of default by Borrower exists under any Servicing Agreement, and Borrower has no knowledge of any default or event of default thereunder by the Servicer. Borrower shall, within ten (10) days following a written request by Agent, deliver to Agent true and correct copies of all Servicing Agreements. -56- 12.15 Periodic Due Diligence Review. Borrower acknowledges that Agent has the right to perform continuing Due Diligence Reviews with respect to the Mortgage Loans, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, or otherwise, and Borrower agrees that, unless a Default has occurred (in which case no notice is required), upon reasonable (but no less than five (5) Business Days) prior notice to Borrower, Agent or its authorized representatives will be permitted during customary business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of, the Mortgage Files and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Mortgage Loans in the possession or under the control of Borrower and/or the Custodian. Borrower also shall make available to Agent a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Mortgage Files and the Mortgage Loans. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower acknowledges that Agent may consummate the Loans and make Revolving Loan Advances to Borrower based solely upon the information provided by Borrower to Agent in the Mortgage Loan Data File and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Agent, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Mortgage Loans securing such Loan, including without limitation ordering new credit reports and new appraisals on the related Mortgaged Properties and otherwise re-generating the information used to originate such Mortgage Loan.

All costs and expenses incurred by Agent or Lender in connection with any Due Diligence Review pursuant to this Section 12.15 shall be borne by Agent or Lender so long as no Default exists. If a Default or an Event of Default exists, all such costs and expenses shall be borne by Borrower. 12.16 Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by this Agreement and by law, Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Borrower. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off and application made by Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. 12.17 Intent. The parties recognize that each Loan is a "securities contract" as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended. 12.18 Assignments and Participations. (a) Lender may assign and delegate to one or more Persons all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided, that none of the costs incurred by the -57- assigning Lender or its assignee in connection therewith shall be borne by Borrower and the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance substantially in the form of Exhibit F, with appropriate completions (an "ASSIGNMENT AND ACCEPTANCE"), along with replacement Notes executed and delivered by Borrower; and provided, further, that Lender shall not so assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Affiliate of Borrower.

Notwithstanding the terms of Section 2.07, each participant of Lender shall be entitled to the additional compensation and other rights and protections afforded Lender under Section 2.07 to the same extent as Lender would have been entitled to receive them with respect to the participation sold to such participant. (d) Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 12.18, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, as the case may be, any information relating to Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries or to any aspect of the Loans that has been provided to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder. 12.19 Treatment of Certain Information.

To the best of Borrower's knowledge, based on due diligence that customarily performed by Qualified Originators in the origination and servicing of comparable mortgage loans, no person other than the relevant Mortgagor owns any interest in any payments due under such leases that is superior to or of equal priority with the mortgagee's interest therein; (o) Each Mortgage, upon due recordation, is a valid and enforceable first lien on the related Mortgaged Property, subject only to those exceptions described in clause (vi) above; (p) Borrower has not taken any action, nor has knowledge that the Mortgagor has taken any action, that would cause the representations and warranties made by the Mortgagor in the Mortgage Loan Documents not to be true; Schedule 1-3 (q) The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder and Borrower covenants that it will not make any future advances under the Mortgage Loan to the Mortgagor.

Borrower has not received any actual notice of a material violation of CERCLA or any applicable federal, state or local environmental law with respect to any Mortgaged Property that was not disclosed in the related report and/or update.

(5) The Ground Lease requires the lessor thereunder to give notice of any default by the lessee to the mortgagee; and the Ground Lease, or an estoppel letter received by the mortgagee from the lessor, further provides that notice of termination given under the Ground Lease is not effective against the mortgagee unless a copy of the notice has been delivered to the mortgagee in the manner described in such Ground Lease or estoppel letter. Schedule 1-6 (6) The mortgagee is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under the Ground Lease) to cure any default under the Ground Lease which is curable after the receipt of notice of any default, before the lessor thereunder may terminate the Ground Lease.

(8) The Ground Lease requires the lessor to enter into a new lease with the mortgagee upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including rejection of the Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding, provided the mortgagee cures the lessee's defaults to the extent they are curable and succeeds to the interest of the mortgagee. (9) Under the terms of the Ground Lease and the related Mortgage, taken together, any related insurance proceeds will be applied either to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with the mortgagee or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse the proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses, or to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan together with any accrued interest thereon. (10) Such Ground Lease does not impose any material restrictions on subletting. (11) Either the Ground Lease or the related Mortgage contains Borrower's covenant that such Ground Lease shall not be amended, canceled, or terminated without the prior written consent of the mortgagee. (12) Either the Ground Lease or an estoppel letter contains a covenant that the lessor thereunder is not permitted in the absence of an uncured default under the Ground Lease, to disturb the possession, interest or quiet enjoyment of any lessee in the relevant portion of the Mortgaged Property subject to such Ground Lease for any reason, or in any manner, which would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage; (jj) The Mortgage Loan is directly secured by a Mortgage on a commercial real property, and (2) the fair market value of such real property, as evidenced by an appraisal conducted within 12 months of the origination of the Mortgage Loan, or as determined by Borrower based on market studies and pursuant to its Underwriting Guidelines, was at least equal to 80% of the principal amount of the Mortgage Loan (I) at origination (or if the Mortgage Loan has been modified in a manner that constituted a deemed exchange under Section 1001 of the Code at a time when the Mortgage Loan was not in default or default with respect thereto was not reasonably foreseeable, the date of the last such modification) or (II) at the related Funding Date; provided that the fair market value of the real property interest must first be reduced by (a) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Mortgage Loan (unless such senior lien also secures a Mortgage Loan, in which event the computation Schedule 1-7 described in (I) and (II) shall be made on an aggregated basis) and (b) a proportionate amount of any lien that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan (unless such other lien secures a Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized with such Mortgage Loan, in which event the computation described in (I) and (II) shall be made on an aggregate basis); (kk) To the best knowledge of Borrower, based on due diligence that customarily performed by Qualified Originators in the origination of comparable mortgage loans, certificates of occupancy and building permits, as applicable, have been issued with respect to the Mortgaged Property; (ll) Any escrow accounts for taxes or other reserves required to be funded on the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Mortgage Loan documents have been funded and all such escrow accounts required to have been funded as of the Funding Date (taking into account any applicable notice and grace period) have been funded; (mm) The related Assignment of Mortgage constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage to Agent, for the benefit of Lender, and the related Reassignment of Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits, if any, constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment thereof to Agent; (nn) The related Note is not, and has not been since the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, secured by any collateral except the lien of the related Mortgage, any related Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits and any related security agreement and escrow agreement; the security for the Mortgage Loan consists only of the related Mortgaged Property or Properties, any leases (including without limitation any credit leases) thereof, and any appurtenances, fixtures and other property located thereon; and such Mortgaged Property or Properties do not secure any mortgage loan other than the Mortgage Loan being transferred and assigned to Agent, for the benefit of Lender hereunder (except for Mortgage Loans, if any, which are cross-collateralized with other Mortgage Loans being conveyed to Agent or subsequent transferee hereunder and identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule); (oo) To Borrower's knowledge, based on due diligence that customarily performed by Qualified Originators in the origination of comparable mortgage loans, as of the date of origination of each Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgagor was in possession of all material licenses, permits and franchises required by applicable law for the ownership and operation of the related Mortgaged Property as it was then operated; (pp) The Mortgage Loan is directly secured by a first lien on one or more parcels of real estate upon which is located one or more commercial structures; and the Mortgage Loan was originated by a savings and loan association, savings bank, commercial bank, credit union, insurance company, or similar institution which is authorized and has all governmental approvals necessary to originate said Mortgage Loan; and (qq) No Eligible Multifamily Mortgage Loan has an LTV greater than 80% or such other percentage as may be consented to by Agent in its sole discretion. No Eligible Commercial Mortgage Loan has an LTV greater than 80% or such other percentage as may be consented to by Agent in its sole discretion. Schedule 1-8 Part I-B. Eligible Securities.

With respect to any representations and warranties made to the best of Borrower's knowledge or actual knowledge, in the event that it is discovered that the circumstances with respect to the related Eligible Security are not accurately reflected in such representation and warranty notwithstanding the knowledge or lack of knowledge of Borrower, then, notwithstanding that such representation and warranty is made to the best of Borrower's knowledge, the Collateral Value of such Eligible Security may be redetermined by Agent acting in good faith (which redetermination may result in a Collateral Value of zero) in light of such inaccuracy. (a) The information set forth in the Pledged Securities Schedule (as defined in the Custodial Agreement) as to the Eligible Security is complete, true and correct in all material respects; (b) Borrower is the sole beneficial owner and holder of the Eligible Security by virtue of Borrower having a security entitlement with respect thereto with the Custodian and has good and marketable title thereto, has full right, power and authority to sell and assign such Eligible Security or security entitlement free and clear of any interest or claim of a third party, including the issuer of the Eligible Security; Schedule 1-9 Part II.
