Section 3.1. Reserve Accounts Generally.

(a) Establishment. On the Closing Date, Lender shall establish the following accounts for purpose of holding the funds to be deposited by Borrower pursuant to this Article 3: a “Tax and Insurance Reserve Account,” a “Deferred Maintenance and Environmental Reserve Account,” a “Capital Expenditure Reserve Account,” and a “Rollover Reserve Account” (individually, a “Reserve Account” and collectively, the “Reserve Accounts”), or in accordance with any cash collateral account agreement between Borrower and Lender. Each Reserve Account shall be a custodial account established by Lender and shall not constitute a trust fund. At Lender’s option, funds deposited into a Reserve Account may be commingled with other money held by Lender or its servicer. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Reserve Accounts are subject to the sole dominion, control and discretion of Lender, its authorized agents or designees, subject to the terms hereof. Borrower shall not have the right to make any withdrawal from any Reserve Account.

(b) Application upon Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (i) any amounts

deposited into or remaining in any Reserve Account shall be for the account of Lender and may be withdrawn by Lender to be applied in any manner as Lender may elect in Lender’s discretion, and (ii) Borrower shall have no further right in respect of the Reserve Accounts.

Section 3.2. Tax and Insurance. On the date hereof, Borrower shall deposit with Lender $193,742.64 with respect to Impositions. Such sum shall be held by Lender in the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account. Beginning on the first Payment Date and on each Payment Date thereafter, Borrower shall deliver to Lender the amount reasonably estimated by Lender to be one-twelfth (1/12th) of the annual amount of (A) Impositions, which amount shall initially be $38,748.48, and (B) insurance premiums for policies required pursuant to this Agreement, which amount shall initially be $3,707 (provided, that Lender may re-calculate the foregoing monthly amounts from time to time to assure that funds are reserved in sufficient amounts to enable the payment of Impositions and insurance premiums thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates) (collectively, the “Tax and Insurance Monthly Installment”). If such amounts for the then current Fiscal Year or payment period are not ascertainable by Lender at the time a monthly deposit is required to be made, the Tax and Insurance Monthly Installment shall be Lender’s reasonable estimate based on one-twelfth (1/12th) of the aggregate Impositions and insurance premiums for the prior Fiscal Year or payment period, with adjustments reasonably determined by Lender. As soon as Impositions and insurance premiums are fixed for the then current Fiscal Year or period, the next ensuing Tax and Insurance Monthly Installment shall be adjusted to reflect any deficiency or surplus in prior Tax and Insurance Monthly Installments. Lender shall make payments of Impositions and insurance premiums out of the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account before the same shall be delinquent to the extent that there are funds available in the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account and Lender has received appropriate documentation to establish the amount(s) due and the due date(s) as and when provided above.

Section 3.3. Deferred Maintenance Costs and Remediation Costs. On the date hereof, Borrower shall deposit $40,250 into the Deferred Maintenance and Environmental Reserve Account, which amounts shall be used for payment of costs incurred by Borrower in connection with any deferred maintenance or Remediation required pursuant to Section 5.6.

Section 3.4. Capital Improvement Costs. Beginning on the first Payment Date and on each Payment Date thereafter, Borrower shall deliver to Lender the sum of $12,707, which amount shall be increased by two percent (2%) on each anniversary of the Closing Date, and which sums shall be held in the Capital Expenditure Reserve Account, and which amounts shall be used for payment of costs incurred by Borrower in connection with capital improvements to the Property approved by Lender.

Section 3.5. Rollover Costs. Beginning on the Payment Date occurring in January 2010, and on each Payment Date thereafter, Borrower shall deliver to Lender the sum of $11,270.30, which sums shall be held in the Rollover Reserve Account. Within two (2) Business Days after Borrower receives a lease termination or similar payment pursuant to any Lease, Borrower shall deliver such payment to Lender, which sums shall be held in the Rollover Reserve Account. All sums in the Rollover Reserve Account shall be used for payment of tenant improvement expenses and leasing commissions incurred by Borrower in connection with replacing tenants at the Property pursuant to Leases approved (or deemed approved) pursuant to this Agreement; provided that lease termination payments shall only be used to pay tenant

improvement expenses and leasing commissions that Borrower incurred in connection with replacing the tenant at the Property that made the related lease termination payment pursuant to a Lease approved (or deemed approved, as applicable) by Lender pursuant to this Agreement. Provided no Event of Default then exists, any portion of such lease termination payment remaining after application of the same pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall be returned to Borrower.

Section 3.6. Disbursements. Not more frequently than once in any 30-day period, and provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may request in writing that Lender release to Borrower funds from one or more Reserve Accounts to the extent funds are available therein, for payment of costs incurred by Borrower in connection with the expenses for which such Reserve Account is maintained. Together with each such request, Borrower shall furnish Lender with copies of bills and other documentation reasonably required by Lender to establish that such costs are reasonable and are substantially in accordance with market rates, that the work relating thereto has been completed and that such amounts are then due or have been paid. Lender shall approve or disapprove such request within ten (10) Business Days after Lender’s receipt of such request and, if approved, Lender shall release the funds to Borrower or Borrower’s designee within ten (10) Business Days after Lender’s approval.

Section 3.7. Interest on Reserve Accounts. Borrower shall not be entitled to any earnings or interest on funds deposited into the Reserve Accounts.

Section 3.8. Leasing Cash Sweep Reserve. Beginning on the first Payment Date during any Leasing Cash Sweep Period (as defined below), and continuing until the first Payment Date after the termination of such Leasing Cash Sweep Period (so long as no other Leasing Cash Sweep Period then exists), Borrower shall deposit will Lender all Rents after payment of amounts due and payable to Lender on such Payment Date pursuant to the Note and this Article 3, which funds shall be held by Lender in a custodial account (the “Leasing Cash Sweep Reserve Account”) as additional collateral for the Loan.

Except for those obtained or filed on or prior to the Closing Date, Borrower is not required to obtain any consent, approval or authorization from, or to file any declaration or statement with, any Governmental Authority in connection with or as a condition to the execution, delivery or performance of the Loan Documents. The Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party have been duly executed and delivered by Borrower.

Section 4.3. Enforceability. The Loan Documents executed by Borrower in connection with the Loan are the legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their terms, subject only to bankruptcy, insolvency and other limitations on creditors’ rights generally and to equitable principles. Such Loan Documents are, as of the Closing Date, not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by Borrower, including the defense of usury.

Section 4.4. Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending and served or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened, involving or concerning Borrower, Guarantor or the Property.

No statement of fact made by or on behalf of Borrower in the Loan Documents or in any other document or certificate delivered to Lender by Borrower contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no fact presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender which materially adversely affects, nor as far as Borrower can foresee, might materially adversely affect the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower. Since the delivery of such data, except as otherwise disclosed in writing to Lender, there has been no material adverse change in the financial position of Borrower or the Property, or in the results of operations of Borrower. Borrower has not incurred any obligation or liability, contingent or otherwise, not reflected in such financial data which might materially adversely affect its business operations or the Property.

INSURANCE, CASUALTY, CONDEMNATION AND RESTORATION

Section 7.1. Types of Insurance. At all times during the term of the Loan, Borrower shall maintain, at its sole cost and expense, for the mutual benefit of Borrower and Lender, the following policies of insurance:

(a) Insurance with respect to the Improvements, Equipment and Inventory against any peril included within the classification “All Risks of Physical Loss” with extended coverage in amounts at all times sufficient to prevent Borrower from becoming a co-insurer within the terms of the applicable policies, but in any event such insurance shall be maintained in

an amount equal to the full insurable value of the Improvements, Equipment and Inventory located on the Property. The policy referred to in this Section 7.1(a) shall contain a replacement cost endorsement and a waiver of depreciation. As used herein, “full insurable value” means the actual replacement cost of the Improvements, Equipment and Inventory (without taking into account any depreciation), determined annually by an insurer or by Borrower or, at the request of Lender, by an insurance broker (subject to Lender’s reasonable approval). In all cases where any of the Improvements or the use of the Property shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses under applicable Legal Requirements, the policy referred to in this Section 7.1(a) must include “Ordinance and Law Coverage,” with “Time Element,” “Loss to the Undamaged Portion of the Building,” “Demolition Cost” and “Increased Cost of Construction” endorsements, in the amount of coverage required by Lender;

(b) Comprehensive general liability insurance, including contractual injury, bodily injury, broad form death and property damage liability against any and all claims, including all legal liability to the extent insurable imposed upon Borrower and all court costs and attorneys’ fees and expenses, arising out of or connected with the possession, use, leasing, operation, maintenance or condition of the Property with a combined limit of not less than $2,000,000 in the aggregate and $1,000,000 per occurrence, plus $5,000,000 umbrella coverage, plus motor vehicle liability coverage for all owned and non-owned vehicles (including, without limitation, rented and leased vehicles) containing minimum limits per occurrence, including umbrella coverage, of $1,000,000.

(d) Business interruption and/or loss of “rental value” insurance for the Property in an amount equal to at least fifteen (15) months estimated gross Rents attributable to the Property and based on gross Rents for the immediately preceding year and otherwise sufficient to avoid any co-insurance penalty, together with an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical loss to the Property has been repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such income either returns to the same level it was at prior to the loss, or the expiration of six (6) months from the date the Property is repaired or replaced and operations are resumed, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period;

(e) If all or any portion of the Property is located within a federally designated flood hazard zone, flood insurance in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the full insurable value of the Property, (ii) the original Principal Indebtedness, and (iii) the maximum allowed under the related federal flood insurance program;

(f) Insurance against loss or damage from (i) leakage of sprinkler systems and (ii) explosion of steam boilers, air conditioning equipment, pressure vessels or similar apparatus now or hereafter installed at the Property, in such amounts as Lender may from time to time reasonably require and which are customarily required by institutional lenders with respect to similar properties similarly situated;

(g) The insurance required under clauses (a) and (d) above shall cover perils of terrorism and acts of terrorism and Borrower shall maintain commercial property insurance

for loss resulting from perils and acts of terrorism on terms (including amounts) consistent with those required under clauses (a) and (d) above at all times during the term of the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 is in effect (including any extensions), Lender shall accept terrorism insurance which covers against “covered acts” as defined therein;

(h) During any period of Restoration, builder’s “all risk” insurance in an amount equal to not less than the full insurable value of the Property against such risks (including fire and extended coverage and collapse of the Improvements to agreed limits) as Lender may request, in form and substance acceptable to Lender; and

(i) Such other insurance with respect to the Improvements, Equipment and Inventory located on the Property against loss or damage as requested by Lender (including liquor/dramshop, mold, fungus, hurricane, windstorm and earthquake insurance) provided such insurance is of the kind for risks from time to time customarily insured against and in such amounts as are generally required by institutional lenders for properties comparable to the Property or which Lender may deem necessary in its reasonable discretion; provided, however, Lender shall not require earthquake insurance if the probable maximum loss for the Property is less than twenty percent (20%).

Section 7.2. Insurer Ratings. Borrower will maintain the insurance coverage described in Section 7.1 with companies acceptable to Lender and with a claims paying ability of not less than “BBB” or its equivalent by S&P or “A : VIII” or its equivalent by A.M. Best. All insurers providing insurance required by this Agreement shall be authorized to issue insurance in the state where the Property is located.

Section 7.3. Blanket Policy. The insurance coverage required under Section 7.1 may be effected under a blanket policy or policies covering the Property and other property and assets not constituting a part of the Property; provided that any such blanket policy shall provide coverage in an amount and scope which is at least equal to what would be provided if the required coverage was purchased on an individual basis and which shall in any case comply in all other respects with the requirements of this Article 7.

Section 7.4. General Insurance Requirements.

(a) Borrower agrees that all insurance policies shall: (i) be in such form and with such endorsements and in such amounts as may be satisfactory to Lender; (ii) name Lender as an additional insured/loss payee and provide that all Insurance Proceeds be payable to Lender; (iii) contain a “Non Contributory Standard Lender Clause” and a Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement or their equivalents naming Lender as the person to whom all payments shall be paid and a provision that payment of Insurance Proceeds in excess of the Restoration Proceeds Threshold shall be made by a check payable only to Lender; (iv) contain a waiver of subrogation endorsement as to Lender and its successors and assigns providing that no policy shall be impaired or invalidated by virtue of any act, failure to act, negligence of, or violation of declarations, warranties or conditions contained in such policy by Borrower, Lender or any other named insured, additional insured or loss payee; (v) contain an endorsement indicating that neither Lender nor Borrower shall be or be deemed to be a co-insurer with respect to any risk

insured by such policies and shall provide for an aggregate deductible per loss for all policies not in excess of $25,000.00; (vi) contain a provision that such policies shall not be canceled or amended in any adverse manner, including any amendment reducing the scope or limits of coverage, without at least thirty (30) days prior notice to Lender in each instance; and (vii) with respect to commercial general liability, provide for claims to be made on an occurrence basis.

(b) In the event of foreclosure of the lien of the Mortgage or other transfer of title or assignment of the Property in extinguishment, in whole or in part, of the Indebtedness, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to all policies of casualty insurance covering all or any part of the Property shall inure to the benefit of and pass to the successors in interest to Lender or the purchaser or grantee of the Property or any part thereof.

Section 7.5. Certificates of Insurance and Delivery of Policies. Upon Lender’s request, certified copies of all insurance policies required pursuant to this Article 7 shall be promptly delivered to Lender except for blanket policies as to which certificates of same only need to be provided. Certificates of insurance with respect to all renewal and replacement policies shall be delivered to Lender not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration date of any of the insurance policies required to be maintained hereunder which certificates shall bear notations evidencing payment of applicable premiums and certified copies of such insurance policies shall be delivered to Lender promptly after Borrower’s receipt thereof. If Borrower fails to maintain and deliver to Lender the certificates of insurance required by this Agreement, Lender may, at its option, after notice to Borrower, procure such insurance, and Borrower shall reimburse Lender for the amount of all premiums paid by Lender thereon promptly, after demand by Lender, with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date paid by Lender to the date of repayment, and such sum shall be a part of the Indebtedness secured by the Loan Documents. Lender shall not by the fact of approving, disapproving, accepting, preventing, obtaining or failing to obtain any insurance, incur any liability for or with respect to the amount of insurance carried, the form or legal sufficiency of insurance contracts, solvency of insurance companies, or the carriers’ or Borrower’s payment or defense of lawsuits, and Borrower hereby expressly assumes full responsibility therefor and all liability, if any, with respect thereto. Borrower represents that no claims have been made under any of such insurance policies, and no party, including Borrower, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of any of such insurance policies.

Section 7.6. Restoration Proceeds.

(a) Any and all awards, compensation, reimbursement, damages, proceeds, settlements, and other payments or relief paid or to be paid, together with all rights and causes of action relating to or arising from, (i) any insurance policy maintained by or on behalf of Borrower following any damage, destruction, casualty or loss to all or any portion of the Property (a “Casualty”, and such proceeds, “Insurance Proceeds”) or (ii) any temporary or permanent taking or voluntary conveyance of all or part of the Property, or any interest therein or right accruing thereto or use thereof, as the result of, or in settlement of, any condemnation or other eminent domain proceeding by any Governmental Authority whether or not the same shall have actually been commenced (a “Taking”, and such proceeds, “Condemnation Proceeds”, and together with Insurance Proceeds, collectively, “Restoration Proceeds”) are hereby assigned to Lender as additional collateral security hereunder subject to the Lien of the Mortgage, to be

applied in accordance with this Article 7. Lender shall be entitled to receive and collect all Restoration Proceeds, and Borrower shall instruct and cause the issuer of each policy of insurance described herein and any applicable Governmental Authority to deliver to Lender all Restoration Proceeds. Borrower shall execute such further assignments of the Restoration Proceeds as Lender may from time to time reasonably require. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Restoration Proceeds, less the amount of Lender’s costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred in collecting the same (the “Net Restoration Proceeds”), are $200,000 or less (the “Restoration Proceeds Threshold”), provided no Event of Default then exists, Lender shall make such Net Restoration Proceeds available to Borrower. All Insurance Proceeds received by Borrower or Lender in respect of business interruption coverage, and all Condemnation Proceeds received with respect to a temporary Taking available to Borrower, shall be deposited in a segregated escrow account with Lender or its servicer, as applicable, and Lender shall estimate the number of months required for Borrower to restore the damage caused such Casualty or replace cash flow interrupted by such temporary Taking, as applicable, and shall divide the aggregate proceeds by such number of months, and, provided no Event of Default then exists, shall disburse a monthly installment thereof to Borrower each such month. Subject to Lender’s rights under Section 7.7, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Restoration has been completed in accordance with this Agreement, any Net Restoration Proceeds available to Borrower for Restoration, to the extent not used by Borrower in connection with, or to the extent they exceed the cost of such Restoration and any costs incurred by Lender, shall be paid to Borrower.

(b) Lender shall be entitled at its option to participate in any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with (i) any insurance policy claims relating to any Casualty, and (ii) any Taking in an amount in controversy, in either case, in excess of the Restoration Proceeds Threshold, and Borrower shall within ten (10) Business Days after request therefor reimburse Lender for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with such participation. Borrower shall not make any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with any such claim in excess of the Restoration Proceeds Threshold or if an Event of Default then exists without the prior written approval of Lender. Borrower shall not make any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with any claim unless same is commercially reasonable.

(c) If and to the extent Restoration Proceeds are not required to be made available to Borrower to be used for the Restoration of the Improvements, Equipment and Inventory affected by the Casualty or Taking, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement, Lender shall be entitled, without Borrower’s consent, to apply such Restoration Proceeds or the balance thereof, at Lender’s option either (i) to the full or partial payment or prepayment of the Indebtedness in accordance with Section 5(b) of the Note; provided that such payment or prepayment shall not require any defeasance of the Loan and shall be without the payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, in which event, Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium, if any, that may be required with respect to the amount of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds applied to the Indebtedness, or (ii) to the Restoration of all or any part of such Improvements, Equipment and Inventory affected by the Casualty or Taking, as applicable.

Section 7.7. Restoration. Borrower shall restore and repair the Improvements and Equipment or any part thereof now or hereafter damaged or destroyed by any Casualty or affected by any Taking; provided, however, that if the Casualty is not insured against or insurable, Borrower shall so restore and repair even though no Insurance Proceeds are received. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 7.6, Lender agrees that Lender shall make the Net Restoration Proceeds (other than business interruption insurance proceeds, which shall be held and disbursed as provided in Section 7.6) available to Borrower for Borrower’s restoration and repair of the Improvements, Equipment and Inventory affected by the Casualty or Taking (a “Restoration”), as applicable, on the following terms and subject to Borrower’s satisfaction of the following conditions; provided, that Lender shall have the right to waive any of the following conditions in its discretion:

(a) At the time of such Casualty or Taking, as applicable, and at all times thereafter there shall exist no Event of Default;

(b) The Improvements, Equipment and Inventory affected by the Casualty or Taking, as applicable, shall be capable of being restored (including replacements) to substantially the same condition, utility, quality and character, as existed immediately prior to such Casualty or Taking, as applicable, in all material respects with a fair market value and projected cash flow of the Property equal to or greater than prior to such Casualty or Taking, as applicable;

(c) Borrower shall demonstrate to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction Borrower’s ability to pay the Indebtedness coming due during such repair or restoration period (after taking into account proceeds from business interruption insurance carried by Borrower);

(d) (i) in the event of a Casualty, the Casualty resulted in an actual or constructive loss of less than fifty percent (50%) of the fair market value of the applicable Individual Property, or (ii) in the event of a Taking, the Taking resulted in an actual or constructive loss of less than fifteen percent (15%) of the fair market value of the applicable Individual Property, less than fifteen percent (15%) of the land constituting the applicable Individual Property is taken, such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the applicable Individual Property, and no portion of the Improvements on such Individual Property is the subject of such Taking;

(e) Borrower shall have provided to Lender all of the following, and collaterally assigned the same to Lender pursuant to assignment documents acceptable to Lender: (i) an architect’s contract with an architect reasonably acceptable to Lender and complete plans and specifications for the Restoration of the Improvements, Equipment and Inventory lost or damaged to the condition, utility and value required by Section 7.7(b); (ii) fixed-price or guaranteed maximum cost construction contracts with contractors reasonably acceptable to Lender for completion of the Restoration work in accordance with the aforementioned plans and specifications; (iii) such additional funds (if any) as are necessary from time to time, in Lender’s reasonable opinion, to complete the Restoration (which funds shall be held by Lender as additional collateral securing the Indebtedness and shall be disbursed, if at all, pursuant to this Article 7); and (iv) copies of all permits and licenses necessary to complete the Restoration in accordance with the plans and specifications and all Legal Requirements.

(f) Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to commence such work within one hundred twenty (120) days after such Casualty or Taking, as applicable, and shall diligently pursue such work to completion;

(g) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (A) the date six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (B) such time as may be required under applicable Legal Requirements in order to repair and restore the Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty or such Taking, as applicable, or (C) the expiration of the business interruption insurance coverage referred to in Section 7.1(d); and

(h) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements.

Section 7.8. Disbursement.

(a) Each disbursement by Lender of such Restoration Proceeds shall be funded subject to conditions and in accordance with disbursement procedures which a commercial construction lender would typically establish in the exercise of sound banking practices, including requiring lien waivers and any other documents, instruments or items which may be reasonably required by Lender.

(b) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of Restoration Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as determined by Lender, less, as to each contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in a Restoration, an amount equal to the greater of (i) ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of such Restoration, as reasonably determined by Lender, and (ii) the amount actually withheld by Borrower (the “Casualty Retainage”). The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until Lender reasonably determines that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage.

A waiver of any Event of Default shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Event of Default or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. Any and all of Lender’s rights with respect to the Property shall continue unimpaired, and Borrower shall be and remain obligated in accordance with the terms hereof, notwithstanding (i) the release or substitution of Property at any time, or of any rights or interest therein or (ii) any delay, extension of time, renewal, compromise or other indulgence granted by Lender in the event of any Event of Default with respect to the Property or otherwise hereunder.

In the event any Indemnified Party has a reasonable basis for believing that an environmental condition exists on the Property in violation of Environmental Laws, upon reasonable notice from Lender, Borrower shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, promptly cause an engineer or consultant reasonably satisfactory to Lender to conduct any environmental assessment or audit (the scope of which shall be determined in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender) and take any samples of soil, groundwater or other water, air, or building materials or any other invasive testing reasonably requested by Lender and promptly deliver the results of any such assessment, audit, sampling or other testing; and provided, further, that the Indemnified Parties and any other Person designated by the Indemnified Parties, may at its option, enter upon the Property at all reasonable times to assess any and all aspects of the environmental condition of the Property and its use.

Section 9.4. Environmental Indemnity. Borrower covenants and agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and all Losses imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Parties and directly or indirectly arising out of or in any way relating to any one or more of the following: (a) any past, present or threatened Release of Hazardous Substances in, on, above, under, from or affecting the Property, or any Remediation thereof; (b) the imposition, recording or filing or the threatened imposition, recording or filing of any Environmental Lien encumbering the Property; (c) any misrepresentation or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty concerning Hazardous Substances; and (d) any breach of Section 9.1 or Section 9.2 of this Agreement.

If Lender determines at any time to participate in a Secondary Market Transaction, Lender may forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant or investor in such securities (collectively, the “Investors”), any Rating Agency rating such securities, any organization maintaining databases on the underwriting and performance of commercial loans, trustee, counsel, accountant, and each prospective Investor, all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Loan, Borrower, any direct or indirect equity owner of Borrower, any guarantor, any indemnitor and the Property, which shall have been furnished by Borrower any Affiliate of Borrower, any guarantor, any indemnitor, or any party to any Loan Document, or otherwise furnished in connection with the Loan, as Lender in its discretion determines necessary or desirable.

Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party.

Section 12.2. Lender’s Discretion. Whenever pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Lender exercises any right, option or election given to Lender to approve or disapprove, or consent or withhold consent, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender or is to be in Lender’s discretion, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove, consent or withhold consent, or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory or acceptable or not acceptable to Lender in Lender’s discretion, shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender.

Section 12.3. Governing Law; Venue.

(a) This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents shall be interpreted and enforced according to the laws of the State of Ohio (without giving effect to rules regarding conflict of laws).

(b) Borrower hereby consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any state or federal court sitting in the county and state where the Property is located with respect to any legal action or proceeding arising with respect to the Loan Documents and waives all objections which it may have to such jurisdiction and venue. Nothing herein shall, however, preclude or prevent Lender from bringing actions against Borrower in any other jurisdiction as may be necessary to enforce or realize upon the security for the Loan provided in any of the Loan Documents.

Section 12.4. Modification, Waiver in Writing. No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, or consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to or demand on Borrower shall entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

Section 12.5. Delay Not a Waiver. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege under any Loan Document, or any other instrument given as security therefor, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under any Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under any Loan Document, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

BORROWER AND LENDER, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THAT THEY MAY LAWFULLY DO SO, HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY TORT ACTION, BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY HERETO WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

Section 12.8. Headings. The Article and Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.

Section 12.9. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

Section 12.10. Preferences. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the obligations of Borrower hereunder. To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender for Borrower’s benefit, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.

Section 12.11. Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents does not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.

Section 12.12. Remedies of Borrower. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents, has acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under any Loan Document, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents, shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.

Section 12.13. Exhibits Incorporated. The information set forth on the cover, heading and recitals hereof, and the Exhibits attached hereto, are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.

Section 12.14. Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to the Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to the Loan, and the Loan Documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon, the Loan Documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.

Section 12.15. No Joint Venture or Partnership. Borrower and Lender intend that the relationship created hereunder be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between any of Borrower, Manager, any contractor or Governmental Authority and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee or lender.

Section 12.16. Waiver of Marshalling of Assets Defense. To the fullest extent that Borrower may legally do so, Borrower waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, and of the Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the interests hereby created, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Indebtedness without any prior or different resort for collection, or the right of Lender or any trustee under the Mortgage to the payment of the Indebtedness in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.

Section 12.17. Waiver of Counterclaim. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against Borrower by Lender or Lender’s agents.

Section 12.18. Construction of Documents. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by counsel in connection with the negotiation and drafting of the Loan Documents and that the Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same.

Section 12.19. Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower and Lender hereby represent that they have dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement except as disclosed to Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all Losses relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. If Borrower has dealt with one or more of foregoing described Persons, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that such Persons may receive additional compensation and/or fees from Lender. The provisions of this Section 12.19 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Indebtedness.

Section 12.20. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 12.21. Estoppel Certificates. Borrower and Lender each hereby agree at any time and from time to time, but in no event more than one time per calendar quarter, upon not less than fifteen (15) days prior written notice by Borrower or Lender to execute, acknowledge and deliver to the party specified in such notice, a statement, in writing, certifying that this Agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same, as modified, is in full force and effect and stating the modifications hereto), and stating whether or not, to the knowledge of such certifying party, any Event of Default has occurred, and, if so, specifying each such Event of Default; provided, however, that it shall be a condition precedent to Lender’s obligation to deliver the statement pursuant to this Section 12.21, that Lender shall have received, together with Borrower’s request for such statement, a certificate of Borrower stating that no Event of Default exists as of the date of such certificate (or specifying such Event of Default).

Section 12.22. Reserved.

Section 12.23. Bankruptcy Waiver. Borrower hereby agrees that, in consideration of the recitals and mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, if Borrower (i) files with any bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction or be the subject of any petition under Title 11 of the U.S. Code, as amended, (ii) is the subject of any order for relief issued under Title 11 of the U.S. Code, as amended, (iii) files or is the subject of any petition seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief of debtors, (iv) has sought or consents to or acquiesces in the appointment of any trustee, receiver, conservator or liquidator or (v) is the subject of any order, judgment or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction approving a petition filed against such party for any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future federal or state act or law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief for debtors, the automatic stay provided by the U.S. Bankruptcy Code shall be modified and annulled as to Lender, so as to permit Lender to exercise any and all of its rights and remedies, upon request of Lender made on notice to Borrower and any other party in interest but without

the need of further proof or hearing. Neither Borrower nor any Affiliate of Borrower shall contest the enforceability of this Section 12.23.

Section 12.24. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Exhibits hereto and the other Loan Documents constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained in this Agreement, the Exhibits hereto and the other Loan Documents and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations between the parties.

Section 12.25. Liability and Indemnification.

(a) Lender shall not be liable for any loss sustained by Borrower resulting from any act or omission of any Indemnified Party unless it is finally judicially determined that such loss was caused by the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender or any Indemnified Party. Lender shall not be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability with respect to the ownership, operation and/or maintenance of the Property (including under any Lease, Contract or Permit) or under or by reason of any Loan Document. Unless and until Lender becomes the fee owner of the Property following an Event of Default, the Loan Documents shall not place responsibility for the control, care, management or repair of the Property upon Lender, nor for complying with any Lease, Contract or Permit; nor shall it make Lender responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Property, or for any dangerous or defective condition of the Property, or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property resulting in loss or injury or death to any tenant, licensee, guest, employee or stranger.

(b) Borrower shall indemnify and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless against any and all Losses, and reimburse them for any costs and expenses incurred, in connection with, arising out of or as a result of (i) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the documents and instruments referred to therein, (ii) the creation, perfection or protection of Lender’s Liens in the Property (including fees and expenses for title and lien searches and filing and recording fees, intangibles taxes, personal property taxes, mortgage recording taxes, due diligence expenses, travel expenses, accounting firm fees, costs of the appraisal, environmental report(s) (and an environmental consultant), surveys and the engineering report(s) obtained by or delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan, (iii) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of any amendment, waiver or consent relating to any of the Loan Documents, (iv) the exercise of any of Lender’s or the Indemnified Parties’ remedies under any Loan Document, or (v) any alleged obligations or undertakings to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability with respect to the ownership, operation and/or maintenance of the Property (including under any Lease, Contract or Permit), except to the extent that it is finally judicially determined that any such Loss resulted directly and solely from the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. If any Indemnified Party becomes involved in any action, proceeding or investigation in connection with any matter described in clauses (i) through (v) above, Borrower shall periodically reimburse any Indemnified Party upon demand therefor in an amount equal to its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the costs of any investigation and preparation) incurred in connection therewith to the extent such legal or other expenses are the subject of indemnification hereunder.

Section 12.26. Publicity. Lender shall have the right to issue press releases, advertisements and other promotional materials describing Lender’s participation in the origination of the Loan or the Loan’s inclusion in any Secondary Market Transaction effectuated or to be effectuated by Lender. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or their affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender or any of its Affiliates shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender, except for disclosures required by law which shall not require Lender approval but which shall require prior notice to Lender.

Section 12.27. Time of the Essence. Time shall be of the essence in the performance of all obligations of Borrower hereunder and under each of the other Loan Documents.

Section 12.28. Taxes. All payments made under the Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority. If Borrower is required by law to deduct any of the foregoing from any sum payable under the Loan Document, such sum shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 12.28), Lender receives an amount equal to the sum Lender would have received had no such deductions been made. In the event of the passage of any Legal Requirement subsequent to the date hereof in any manner changing or modifying Legal Requirements now in force governing the taxation of mortgages or security agreements or debts secured thereby or the manner of collecting such taxes so as to adversely affect Lender or the Lien of the Loan Documents, Borrower will pay any such tax on or before the due date thereof. In the event Borrower is prohibited by Legal Requirements from assuming liability for payment of any such taxes (or if any Legal Requirement would penalize Lender if Borrower makes such payment or if, in the reasonable opinion of Lender, the making of such payment might result in the imposition of interest beyond the Maximum Amount) or from paying any other Imposition, the outstanding Indebtedness shall, at the option of Lender, become due and payable on the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days after Lender provides notice to Borrower of such change in law and its election to accelerate the Maturity Date; and failure to pay such amounts on the date due shall be an Event of Default; provided, however, that any such prepayment made under this Section 12.28 shall be made without the payment of any Yield Maintenance Premium.

Section 12.29. Further Assurances. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender such documents, instruments, certificates, assignments and other writings, and do such other acts reasonably necessary, to (a) evidence, preserve and/or protect the Property at any time securing or intended to secure the Indebtedness, and/or (b) enable Lender to perfect, exercise and enforce Lender’s rights and remedies under any Loan Document, as Lender shall require from time to time in its discretion.

ARTICLE 13
SPECIAL PROVISIONS

Section 13.1. Use of Terms. All references to “Borrower” in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to one or more Individual Borrowers, as the context requires. All references to “Property” in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to one or more of the properties identified on Schedule 2 (each an “Individual Property”), as the context requires. It is the intent of the parties hereto in making any determination under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, in determining whether (a) a breach of a representation, warranty or a covenant has occurred, (b) there has occurred an Event of Default, and (c) an event has occurred which would create recourse obligations under Section 17 of the Note) that any breach, occurrence or event with respect to any Individual Borrower or Individual Property shall be deemed to be a breach, occurrence or event with respect to all Individual Borrowers and all Individual Properties, and that all Individual Borrowers and/or all Individual Properties need not have been involved with or be the subject of such breach, occurrence or event in order for the same to be deemed such a breach, occurrence or event with respect to every Individual Borrower, every Individual Property, and the Loan.

Section 13.2. Cross-Default; Cross-Collateralization; Waiver of Marshalling of Assets.

(a) Borrower acknowledges that Lender has made the Loan to Borrower upon the security of its collective interest in the Property and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Property taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of each Individual Property taken separately. Borrower agrees that the Mortgages are and will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each other so that (i) an Event of Default under any of the Mortgages shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Mortgages which secure the Note; (ii) an Event of Default under the Note or this Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under each Mortgage; (iii) each Mortgage shall constitute security for the Note as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the Individual Properties as security for the Note; and (iv) such cross-collateralization shall in no event be deemed to constitute a fraudulent conveyance.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of all or any of the Mortgages, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Loan without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Indebtedness out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all of the Mortgages, any equitable right otherwise available to Borrower which would require the separate sale of any portion of the Property or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any Individual Property or any combination of the Individual Properties before proceeding against any other Individual Property or combination of Individual Properties; and further in the event of such foreclosure Borrower does hereby expressly consents to and authorizes, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Individual Properties.

Section 13.3. Joint and Several Liability. Each Individual Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable for payment of the Indebtedness and performance of all other obligations of all Borrowers (or any of them) under this Agreement and any other Loan Document.

Section 13.4. Contribution.

(a) Each Individual Borrower will benefit, directly and indirectly, from each Individual Borrower’s obligation to pay the Indebtedness and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents. In consideration therefor, Individual Borrowers desire to enter into an allocation and contribution agreement among themselves as set forth in this Section 13.4 to allocate such benefits among themselves and to provide a fair and equitable agreement to make contributions among each of the Individual Borrowers in the event any payment is made by any Individual Borrower hereunder to Lender (any such payment, a “Contribution”, including any exercise of recourse by Lender against any Individual Property (or any portion thereof) of an Individual Borrower and application of proceeds of such Individual Property (or any portion thereof) in satisfaction of such Individual Borrower’s obligations to Lender under the Loan Documents).

(b) Each Individual Borrower shall be liable hereunder with respect to the Indebtedness only for such total maximum amount (if any) that would not render its Indebtedness hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any State law.

(c) In order to provide for a fair and equitable contribution among Individual Borrowers in the event that any Contribution is made by an Individual Borrower (a “Funding Borrower”), such Funding Borrower shall be entitled to a reimbursement Contribution (“Reimbursement Contribution”) from all other Individual Borrowers for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by such Funding Borrower in discharging any of the Indebtedness, in the manner and to the extent set forth in this Section.

(d) Each Individual Borrower shall be liable to a Funding Borrower in an amount equal to the greater of (i) (A) the ratio of the Benefit Amount (as defined below) of such Individual Borrower to the total amount of Indebtedness, multiplied by (B) the amount of Indebtedness paid by such Funding Borrower, and (ii) ninety-five percent (95%) of the excess of (A) the fair saleable value of the Individual Property owned by such Individual Borrower over (B) the total liabilities of such Individual Borrower (including the maximum amount reasonably expected to become due in respect of contingent liabilities) determined as of the date on which the payment made by a Funding Borrower is deemed made for purposes hereof (giving effect to all payments made by other Funding Borrowers as of such date in a manner to maximize the amount of such Contributions). For purposes hereof, the “Benefited Amount” of any Individual Borrower as of any date of determination shall be the net value of the benefits to such Individual Borrower and its Affiliates from extensions of credit made by Lender to (1) such Individual Borrower and (2) the other Individual Borrowers hereunder and the other Loan Document to the extent such other Individual Borrowers have guaranteed or mortgaged their respective Individual Properties to secure the obligations of such Individual Borrower to Lender.

(e) If at any time there exists more than one Funding Borrower with respect to any Contribution (in any such case, the “Applicable Contribution”), then Reimbursement Contributions from other Individual Borrowers shall be allocated among such Funding Borrowers in proportion to the total amount of the Contribution made for or on account of the other Individual Borrowers by each such Funding Borrower pursuant to the Applicable Contribution. If at any time any Individual Borrower pays an amount hereunder in excess of the amount calculated pursuant to this Section 13.4, such Individual Borrower shall be deemed to be a Funding Borrower to the extent of such excess and shall be entitled to a Reimbursement Contribution from the other Individual Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of this Section.

(f) Each Individual Borrower acknowledges that the right to Reimbursement Contribution hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of such Individual Borrower to which such Reimbursement Contribution is owing.

(g) No Reimbursement Contribution payments payable by an Individual Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Section 13.4 shall be paid until all amounts then due and payable by all of Individual Borrowers to Lender, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, are paid in full. Nothing contained in this Section 13.4 shall limit or affect the Indebtedness of any Individual Borrower to Lender under the Note or any other Loan Documents.

(h) Each Individual Borrower waives:

(i) any right to require Lender to proceed against any other Individual Borrower or any other person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by Lender at any time or to pursue any other remedy in Lender’s power before proceeding against such Individual Borrower;

(ii) any defense or rights based upon or arising out of: (A) any legal disability or other defense of any other Individual Borrower, any guarantor of any other person or by reason of the cessation or limitation of the liability of any other Individual Borrower or any guarantor from any cause other than full payment of all sums payable under the Note and the other Loan Documents; (B) any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any other Individual Borrower or any principal of any other Individual Borrower or any defect in the formation of any other Individual Borrower or any principal of any other Individual Borrower; (C) any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more burdensome than that of a principal; (D) any failure by Lender to obtain collateral for the Indebtedness or failure by Lender to perfect a lien on any Individual Property (or any portion thereof); (E) presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind; (F) any failure of Lender to give notice of sale or other disposition of any Individual Property (or any portion thereof) to any other Individual Borrower or to any other Person or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any such sale or disposition; (G) any failure of Lender to comply with applicable laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any Individual Property (or any portion thereof), including any failure of Lender to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of any Individual Property (or any

portion thereof); (H) any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code; (I) any agreement or stipulation entered into by Lender with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding; (J) any borrowing or any grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code; (K) the avoidance of any security interest in favor of Lender for any reason; (L) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the obligations evidenced by the Note or owing under any of the Loan Documents; (M) such Individual Borrower’s, or any other party’s, resignation of the portion of any obligation secured by the Mortgages to be satisfied by any payment from any other Individual Borrower or any such party; or (N) an election of remedies by Lender even though the election of remedies, such as non-judicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Loan or any other amounts owing under the Loan Documents, has destroyed such Individual Borrower’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any other Individual Borrower;

(iii) all rights and defenses that such Individual Borrower may have because any of Indebtedness is secured by real property. This means, among other things: (A) Lender may collect from such Individual Borrower without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any other Individual Borrower; (B) if Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by any other Individual Borrower, (1) the amount of the Indebtedness may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (2) Lender may collect from such Individual Borrower even if any other Individual Borrower, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right such Individual Borrower may have to collect from any other Individual Borrower. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses such Individual Borrower may have because any of the Indebtedness is secured by real property; and

(iv) except as may be expressly and specifically permitted herein, any claim or other right which such Individual Borrower might now have or hereafter acquire against any other Individual Borrower or any other person that arises from the existence or performance of any obligations under the Note or the other Loan Documents, including any of the following: (A) any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, or indemnification; or (B) any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Lender against any other Individual Borrower or any collateral security therefor, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law.

(iii) the projected Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the remaining Property for the twelve (12) months following the date on which the Release Property is to be released is no less than 1.35:1, as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion.
