LOAN TERMS

Section 2.1 The Loan.

(a) Loans. Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make a term loan to Borrower in Dollars in a principal amount up to but not exceeding the amount of the Commitment of such Lender, which in the aggregate will be up to SIXTY-SEVEN MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($67,000,000.00) shall be funded and repaid in accordance with this Agreement. The advance of the Loan, in the amount of the Initial Advance Amount, shall be made upon Borrower’s satisfaction of the conditions to closing described in Schedule 2.1. Administrative Agent and Lenders acknowledge that, except as specifically set forth on Schedule 2.1, all such conditions have been satisfied or waived with respect only to the initial advance hereunder. The Loan is not a revolving credit loan, and Borrower is not entitled to any readvances of any portion of the Loan which it may (or is otherwise required to) prepay pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

(b) Lending Offices. The Loans of each Lender shall be made and maintained at such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office for Loans of such Type.

(c) Several Obligations. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make its Loan, but neither any Lender nor Administrative Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan to be made by such other Lender.

(d) Notes.

(i) Loan Notes. The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by a single promissory note of Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B, payable to such Lender in a principal amount equal to the amount of its Commitment as originally in effect and otherwise duly completed.

(ii) Endorsement on Notes. The date, amount, Type, interest rate and duration of Interest Period (if applicable) of each Loan made by each Lender to Borrower, and each payment made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by such Lender on its books and, prior to any transfer of the Note held by it, endorsed by such Lender on the schedule attached to such Note or any continuation thereof; provided that the failure of such Lender to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of Borrower to make a payment when due of any amount owing hereunder or under such Note in respect of such Loans.

(iii) Substitution, Exchange and Subdivision of Notes. No Lender shall be entitled to have its Notes substituted or exchanged for any reason, or subdivided for promissory notes of lesser denominations, except in connection with a permitted assignment of all or any portion of such Lender’s Commitment, Loans and Note pursuant to Section 11.9(c), Section 11.10 and Section 11.24

-17-

(and, if requested by any Lender, Borrower agrees to so substitute or exchange any Notes and enter into note splitter agreements in connection therewith).

(iv) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Notes. In the event of the loss, theft or destruction of any Note, upon Borrower’s receipt of a reasonably satisfactory indemnification agreement executed in favor of Borrower by the holder of such Note, or in the event of the mutilation of any Note, upon the surrender of such mutilated Note by the holder thereof to Borrower, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such holder a new replacement Note in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

(v) Funding of Loans. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. Administrative Agent will promptly make such Loans available to the Borrowers by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account in the United States designated by the applicable Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request.

(e) Allocated Loan Amount. The Allocated Loan Amount for each Property shall be increased dollar for dollar for Loan advances made after the initial Loan advance which relate directly to such Property. The Allocated Loan Amount for each Property shall be decreased dollar for dollar for prepayments of principal which relate directly to such Property (e.g., casualty or condemnation proceeds, or payment of a Release Price). Any Loan advance or prepayment of principal not directly related to a specific Property, and any prepayment proceeds in excess of a Property’s Allocated Loan Amount (e.g., the excess portion of the Release Price paid for such specific Property), shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent to the Properties, on a pro rata basis, in accordance with each Property’s Allocated Loan Amount.

Section 2.2 Interest Rate; Late Charge. The outstanding principal balance of the Loan (including any amounts added to principal under the Loan Documents) shall bear interest at a variable rate of interest, adjusted monthly, equal to the sum of the Adjusted Libor Rate plus the Spread, subject to the provisions of this Agreement which, in certain instances, require payment of interest at the Alternate Base Rate, such Eurodollar Loans shall Continue from one Interest Period to the next Interest Period (the “Contract Rate”). Interest owing for each month shall be computed on the basis of a fraction, the denominator of which is three hundred sixty (360) and the numerator of which is the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) during the period for which payable. If Borrower fails to pay any installment of interest or principal within five (5) days after the date on which the same is due, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) a late charge on such past-due amount, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to the greater of (a) interest at the Default Rate on such amount from the date when due until paid, or (b) five percent (5%) of such amount, but not in excess of the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law. The foregoing late charge is intended to compensate Lenders for the expenses incident to handling any such delinquent payment and for the losses incurred by Lenders as a result of such

-18-

delinquent payment. Borrower agrees that, considering all of the circumstances existing on the date this Agreement is executed, the late charge represents a reasonable estimate of the costs and losses Lenders will incur by reason of late payment. Borrower and Lenders further agree that proof of actual losses would be costly, inconvenient, impracticable and extremely difficult to fix. Acceptance of the late charge shall not constitute a waiver of the default arising from the overdue installment, and shall not prevent any Lender from exercising any other rights or remedies available to such Lender. While any Event of Default exists, the Loan shall bear interest at the Default Rate; provided, that during the continuance of an Event of Default Administrative Agent may suspend the right of Borrower to Continue any Loan as a Eurodollar Loan, in which event all Loans shall be Converted (on the last day(s) of the respective Interest Periods therefor) into Alternate Base Rate Loans and, thereafter, the Default Rate shall be computed using the Alternate Base Rate.

Section 2.3 Terms of Payment. The Loan shall be payable as follows:

(a) Interest.

(b) Maturity; Extension. On the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and any other amounts due under the Loan Documents.

Thereafter, upon not less than fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent, Borrower may prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without prepayment premium other than any premium required by clause (ii) below. Subject to the limitations set forth above, if the Loans are prepaid, in whole or in part, including, without limitation, pursuant to a casualty or condemnation, each such prepayment shall be made to Administrative Agent on the prepayment date specified in the applicable notice to Administrative Agent pursuant hereto, and (in every case) together with (a) the accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount prepaid and (b) any amounts payable to a Lender pursuant to Section 2.7(e) as a result of such prepayment while a Eurodollar Loan is in effect. If the Loans are closed to prepayment, Borrower shall pay, in addition to all other amounts outstanding under the Loan Documents, a prepayment premium equal to five percent (5%) of the outstanding balance of the Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may prepay the Loans, in whole but not in part, without penalty during the first Loan Year upon a Change of Control.

(d) Partial Releases. Notwithstanding the foregoing of Section 2.3(d), Borrower may obtain the release of any Property upon the satisfaction of all of the following conditions:

(G) Any such other conditions as may be contained in the Loan Documents or reasonably requested by Administrative Agent.

(e) Application of Payments. All payments received by Administrative Agent (on behalf of Lenders) under the Loan Documents shall be applied: first, to any fees and expenses due to Administrative Agent or Lenders under the Loan Documents; second, to any Default Rate interest or late charges; third, to accrued and unpaid interest; and fourth, to the principal sum and other amounts due under the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, if an Event of Default exists Administrative Agent shall apply such payments in any order or manner as Administrative Agent shall determine.

Section 2.4 Security. The Loans shall be secured by the Mortgage creating a first lien on each Property, the Assignment of Rents and Leases and the other Loan Documents. As further security for the Loans, Borrower agrees to fund the Tax and Insurance Escrow Reserve in accordance with Section 3.4.

(iii) Forwarding of Payments by Administrative Agent.

-22-

which notice shall be effective upon receipt, that the Payor does not intend to make the Required Payment to Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent may assume that the Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient(s) on such date; and, if the Payor has not in fact made the Required Payment to Administrative Agent, the recipient(s) of such payment shall, on demand, repay to Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date (the “Advance Date”) such amount was so made available by Administrative Agent until the date Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (a) the Federal Funds Rate for such day in the case of payments returned to Administrative Agent by any of the Lenders or (b) the applicable interest rate due hereunder with respect to payments returned by Borrower to Administrative Agent and, if such recipient(s) shall fail promptly to make such payment, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount, on demand, from the Payor, together with interest as aforesaid, provided that if neither the recipient(s) nor the Payor shall return the Required Payment to Administrative Agent within three (3) Business Days of the Advance Date, then, retroactively to the Advance Date, the Payor and the recipient(s) shall each be obligated to pay interest on the Required Payment as follows:

(i) if the Required Payment shall represent a payment to be made by Borrower to the Lenders, Borrower and the recipient(s) shall each be obligated retroactively to the Advance Date to pay interest in respect of the Required Payment at the Default Rate (without duplication of the obligation of Borrower under Section 2.2 to pay interest on the Required Payment at the Default Rate), it being understood that the return by the recipient(s) of the Required Payment to Administrative Agent shall not limit such obligation of Borrower under Section 2.2 to pay interest at the Default Rate in respect of the Required Payment, and

(ii) if the Required Payment shall represent proceeds of a Loan to be made by the Lenders to Borrower, the Payor and Borrower shall each be obligated retroactively to the Advance Date to pay interest in respect of the Required Payment pursuant to whichever of the rates specified in Section 2.2 is applicable to the Type of such Loan, it being understood that the return by Borrower of the Required Payment to Administrative Agent shall not limit any claim Borrower may have against the Payor in respect of such Required Payment.

(ii) Sharing. If any Lender shall obtain from Borrower payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan owing to it or payment of any other amount under this Agreement or any other Loan Document through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise (other than from Administrative Agent as provided herein), and, as a result of such payment, such Lender shall have received a greater percentage of the principal of or interest on the Loans or such other amounts then due hereunder or thereunder by Borrower to such Lender than the percentage received by any other Lender, it shall promptly purchase from such other Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to such other Lenders (or in interest due thereon, as the case may be) in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such excess payment (net of any expenses that may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such excess payment) pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal of and/or interest on the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to each of the Lenders. To such end all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.

(iii) Consent by Borrower. Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing such a participation (or direct interest) may exercise all rights of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans or other amounts (as the case may be) owing to such Lender in the amount of such participation.

(iv) Rights of Lenders; Bankruptcy. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of Borrower. If, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a set-off to which this Section 2.6(d) applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section 2.6(d) to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

Section 2.7 Yield Protection; Etc..

(a) Additional Costs.

(i) Costs of Making or Maintaining Eurodollar Loans. Borrower shall pay directly to each Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs that such Lender determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any Eurodollar Loans or its obligation to make any Eurodollar Loans hereunder, or any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender hereunder in respect of any of such Loans or such obligation (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any Regulatory Change that:

(A) shall subject any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office for any of such Loans) to any tax, duty or other charge in respect of such Loans or its Note or changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or its Note in respect of any of such Loans (excluding changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender or of such Applicable Lending Office by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal office or such Applicable Lending Office); or

(B) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (other than the Reserve Requirement used in the determination of the Adjusted Libor Rate for any Interest Period for such Loan) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Lender (including, without limitation, any of such Loans or any deposits referred to in the definition of “Libor Base Rate”), or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitment of such Lender hereunder); or

(C) imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement or its Note (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities) or its Commitment.

If any Lender requests compensation from Borrower under this paragraph (a), Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender thereafter to make or Continue Eurodollar Loans, or to Convert Loans into Eurodollar Loans, until the Regulatory Change giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 2.7(d) shall be applicable), provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.

(ii) Costs Attributable to Regulatory Change or Risk-Based Capital Guidelines. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7(a) (but without duplication), Borrower shall pay directly to each Lender from time to time on request such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender (or, without duplication, the bank holding company of which such Lender is a subsidiary) for any costs that it determines are attributable to the maintenance by such Lender (or any Applicable Lending Office or such bank holding company), pursuant to any law or regulation

-25-

or any interpretation, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful) of any court or governmental or monetary authority (i) following any Regulatory Change or (ii) implementing any risk-based capital guideline or other requirement (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not the failure to comply therewith would be unlawful) hereafter issued by any government or governmental or supervisory authority implementing at the national level the Basle Accord, of capital in respect of its Commitment or Loans (such compensation to include, without limitation, an amount equal to any reduction of the rate of return on assets or equity of such Lender (or any Applicable Lending Office or such bank holding company) to a level below that which such Lender (or any Applicable Lending Office or such bank holding company) could have achieved but for such law, regulation, interpretation, directive or request. If at any time, unless there is an uncured Event of Default, any payee hereunder receives a refund or tax credit with respect to any tax, duty, or other charge as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.7, such payee shall pay over such refund or the amount of such tax credit to the Borrower, net of its actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred to receive such refund or tax credit and with interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to such refund or tax credit).

(iii) Notification and Certification. Each Lender shall notify Borrower of any event occurring after the date hereof entitling such Lender to compensation under paragraph (i) or (ii) of this Section 2.7(a) as promptly as practicable, but in any event within 45 days, after such Lender obtains actual knowledge thereof; provided that (i) if any Lender fails to give such notice within 45 days after it obtains actual knowledge of such an event, such Lender shall, with respect to compensation payable pursuant to this Section 2.7(a) in respect of any costs resulting from such event, only be entitled to payment under this Section 2.7(a) for costs incurred from and after the date 45 days prior to the date that such Lender does give such notice and (ii) each Lender will designate a different Applicable Lending Office for the Loans of such Lender affected by such event if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the sole opinion of such Lender, be disadvantageous to such Lender, except that such Lender shall have no obligation to designate an Applicable Lending Office located in the United States of America. Each Lender will furnish to Borrower a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request by such Lender for compensation under paragraph (i) or (ii) of this Section 2.7(a). Determinations and allocations by any Lender for purposes of this Section 2.7(a) of the effect of any Regulatory Change pursuant to paragraph (i) of this Section 2.7(a), or of the effect of capital maintained pursuant to paragraph (ii) of this Section 2.7(a), on its costs or rate of return of maintaining Loans or its obligation to make Loans, or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Loans, and of the amounts required to compensate such Lender under this Section 2.7(a), shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations and allocations are made on a reasonable basis.

-26-

(b) Limitation on Types of Loans. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of the Libor Base Rate for any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Loan:

(i) Administrative Agent determines, which determination shall be conclusive, that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of Libor Base Rate are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for Eurodollar Loans as provided herein; or

(ii) the Majority Lenders determine, which determination shall be conclusive, and notify Administrative Agent that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of Libor Base Rate upon the basis of which the rate of interest for Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period is to be determined are not likely adequately to cover the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period;

then Administrative Agent shall give Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to make additional Eurodollar Loans, to Continue Eurodollar Loans or to Convert Loans of any other Type into Eurodollar Loans, and Borrower shall, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding Eurodollar Loans, either prepay such Loans or such Loans shall be automatically Converted into Alternate Base Rate Loans.

(c) Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to honor its obligation to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans hereunder (and, in the sole opinion of such Lender, the designation of a different Applicable Lending Office would either not avoid such unlawfulness or would be disadvantageous to such Lender), then such Lender shall promptly notify Borrower thereof (with a copy to Administrative Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain Eurodollar Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 2.7(d) shall be applicable).

(d) Treatment of Affected Loans. If the obligation of any Lender to make Eurodollar Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Alternate Base Rate Loans into, Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 2.7(a) or (c), such Lender’s Loans shall be automatically Converted into Alternate Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion resulting from a circumstance described in (c), on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to Borrower with a copy to Administrative Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 2.7(a) or (c) that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:

(i) to the extent that such Lender’s Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Loans shall be applied instead to its Alternate Base Rate Loans; and

-27-

(ii) all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as Eurodollar Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Alternate Base Rate Loans, and all Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into Eurodollar Loans shall remain as Alternate Base Rate Loans.

If such Lender gives notice to Borrower with a copy to Administrative Agent that the circumstances specified in Section 2.7(a) or Section 2.7(c) that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s Loans pursuant to this Section 2.7(d) no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurodollar Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Alternate Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurodollar Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Alternate Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Loans are allocated among the Lenders ratably (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.

(e) Compensation. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for account of each Lender, upon the request of such Lender through Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense that such Lender determines is attributable to:

(i) any payment, prepayment or Conversion of a Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ rights referred to in Article 10) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or

(ii) any failure by Borrower for any reason to borrow a Eurodollar Loan from such Lender on the date for such borrowing specified in the relevant notice of borrowing given to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, such compensation shall include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that otherwise would have accrued on the principal amount so paid, prepaid, Converted or not borrowed for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment, Conversion or failure to borrow to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the Interest Period for such Loan that would have commenced on the date specified for such borrowing) at the applicable rate of interest for such Loan provided for herein over (ii) the amount of interest that otherwise would have accrued on such principal amount at a rate per annum equal to the interest component of the amount such Lender would have bid in the London interbank market for Dollar deposits of leading banks in amounts comparable to such principal amount and with maturities comparable to such period (as reasonably determined by such Lender), or if such Lender shall cease to make such bids, the equivalent rate, as reasonably determined by such Lender, derived

-28-

from Page 3750 of the Dow ▇▇▇▇▇ Markets (Telerate) Service or other publicly available source as described in the definition of Libor Base Rate.

(f) U.S. Taxes.

(i) Gross-up for Deduction or Withholding of U.S. Taxes. Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender that is not a U.S. Person such additional amounts as are necessary in order that the net payment of any amount due to such non-U.S. Person hereunder after deduction for or withholding in respect of any U.S. Taxes imposed with respect to such payment (or in lieu thereof, payment of such U.S. Taxes by such non-U.S. Person), will not be less than the amount stated herein to be then due and payable, provided that the foregoing obligation to pay such additional amounts shall not apply:

(A) to any payment to any Lender hereunder unless such Lender is, on the date hereof (or on the date it becomes a Lender hereunder as provided in Section 11.24(b)) and on the date of any change in the Applicable Lending Office of such Lender, either entitled to submit a Form W-8BEN (relating to such Lender and entitling it to a complete exemption from withholding on all interest to be received by it hereunder in respect of the Loans) or Form W-8ECI (relating to all interest to be received by such Lender hereunder in respect of the Loans), or

(B) to any U.S. Taxes imposed solely by reason of the failure by such non-U.S. Person to comply with applicable certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connections with the United States of America of such non-U.S. Person if such compliance is required by statute or regulation of the United States of America as a precondition to relief or exemption from such U.S. Taxes.

For the purposes hereof, (A) ”U.S. Taxes” means any present or future tax, assessment or other charge or levy imposed by or on behalf of the United States of America or any taxing authority thereof or therein, (B) ”Form W-8BEN” means Form W-8BEN of the Department of the Treasury of the United States of America and (C) ”Form W-8ECI” means Form W-8ECI of the Department of the Treasury of the United States of America. Each of the Forms referred to in the foregoing clauses (B) and (C) shall include such successor and related forms as may from time to time be adopted by the relevant taxing authorities of the United States of America to document a claim to which such Form relates.

(ii) Evidence of Deduction, Etc. Within 30 days after paying any amount to Administrative Agent or any Lender from which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, and within 30 days after it is required by law to remit such deduction or withholding to any relevant taxing or other authority, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent for delivery to such non-U.S. Person evidence satisfactory to such Person of such deduction, withholding or payment (as the case may be).

-29-

(g) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 2.7(a) or Section 2.7(f) or any such Lender withholds consent when such Lender’s consent is required pursuant to the terms hereof, or any Lender’s obligation to Continue Loans of any Type, or to Convert Loans of any Type into the other Type of Loan, shall be suspended pursuant to Section 2.7 or Section 2.7(c) (any such Lender requesting such compensation, or whose obligations are so suspended, being herein called a “Requesting Lender”), Borrower, upon three Business Days notice, may require that such Requesting Lender transfer all of its right, title and interest under this Agreement and such Requesting Lender’s Note to any bank or other financial institution (a “Proposed Lender”) identified by Borrower that is satisfactory to Administrative Agent (i) if such Proposed Lender agrees to assume all of the obligations of such Requesting Lender hereunder, and to purchase all of such Requesting Lender’s Loans hereunder for consideration equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Requesting Lender’s Loans, together with interest thereon to the date of such purchase (to the extent not paid by Borrower), and satisfactory arrangements are made for payment to such Requesting Lender of all other amounts accrued and payable hereunder to such Requesting Lender as of the date of such transfer (including any fees accrued hereunder and any amounts that would be payable under Section 2.7(e) as if all of such Requesting Lender’s Loans were being prepaid in full on such date) and (ii) if such Requesting Lender has requested compensation pursuant to Section 2.7(a) or Section 2.7(f), such Proposed Lender’s aggregate requested compensation, if any, pursuant to Section 2.7(a) or Section 2.7(f) with respect to such Requesting Lender’s Loans is lower than that of the Requesting Lender. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.24(b), such Proposed Lender shall be a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Borrower hereunder, the agreements of Borrower contained in Section 2.7(a), Section 2.7(f) and Section 11.5 (without duplication of any payments made to such Requesting Lender by Borrower or the Proposed Lender) shall survive for the benefit of such Requesting Lender under this Section 2.7(g) with respect to the time prior to such replacement.

ARTICLE 3

INSURANCE, CONDEMNATION, AND IMPOUNDS

Section 3.1 Insurance. Borrower shall maintain insurance as follows:

(a) Casualty; Business Interruption. Borrower shall keep each Property insured against damage by fire and the other hazards covered by a standard extended coverage and all-risk insurance policy for the full insurable value thereof on a replacement cost claim recovery basis (without reduction for depreciation or co-insurance and without any exclusions or reduction of policy limits for acts of terrorism of other specified action/inaction), and shall maintain acts of terrorism endorsement coverage and such other casualty insurance as reasonably required by Administrative Agent. Lenders reserve the right to require from time to time the following additional insurance: flood, earthquake/sinkhole, windstorm, worker’s compensation and/or building law or ordinance. Borrower shall keep each Property insured against loss by flood if each Property is located currently or at any time in the future in an area identified by the

-30-

Federal Emergency Management Agency as an area having special flood hazards and in which flood insurance has been made available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994 (as such acts may from time to time be amended) in an amount at least equal to the lesser of (1) the maximum amount of the Loans or (2) the maximum limit of coverage available under said acts. Any such flood insurance policy should be issued in accordance with the requirements and current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration. Borrower shall maintain use and occupancy insurance covering, as applicable, rental income or business interruption, with coverage in an amount not less than twelve (12)-months anticipated gross rental income or gross business earnings, as applicable in each case, attributable to each Property, all without any exclusions or reduction of policy limits for acts of terrorism or other specified action/inaction. Borrower shall not maintain any separate or additional insurance which is contributing in the event of loss unless it is properly endorsed and otherwise satisfactory to Administrative Agent in all respects. The proceeds of insurance paid on account of any damage or destruction to each Property shall be paid to Administrative Agent to be applied as provided in Section 3.2.

(b) Liability. Borrower shall maintain (1) commercial general liability insurance with respect to each Property providing for limits of liability of not less than $5,000,000 for both injury to or death of a person and for property damage per occurrence, and (2) other liability insurance as reasonably required by Administrative Agent.

(c) Form and Quality. All insurance policies shall be endorsed in form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent to name Administrative Agent (on behalf of Lenders) as an additional insured, loss payee or mortgagee thereunder, as its interest may appear, with loss payable to Administrative Agent, without contribution, under a standard New York (or local equivalent) mortgagee clause. All such insurance policies and endorsements shall be fully paid for and contain such provisions and expiration dates and be in such form and issued by such insurance companies licensed to do business in the State, with a rating of “A-IX” or better as established by A.M. Best’s Rating Guide (or an equivalent rating approved in writing by Administrative Agent), and shall be in such form, and shall contain such provisions, deductibles (with no increased deductible for acts of terrorism or other specified action/inaction) and expiration dates, as re acceptable to Administrative Agent. Each policy shall provide that such policy may not be cancelled or materially changed except upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of intention of non-renewal, cancellation or material change to Administrative Agent and that no act or thing done by Borrower shall invalidate any policy as against Administrative Agent or any Lender. Blanket policies shall be permitted only if Administrative Agent receives appropriate endorsements and/or duplicate policies containing Administrative Agent’s right to continue coverage on a pro rata pass-through basis and that coverage will not be affected by any loss on other properties covered by the policies. If Borrower fails to maintain insurance in compliance with this Section 3.1, Administrative Agent may obtain such insurance and pay the premium therefor and Borrower shall, on demand, reimburse Administrative Agent and the Lenders for all expenses incurred in connection therewith. Borrower shall assign the policies or proofs of insurance to Administrative Agent (on behalf of Lenders), in such manner and form

-31-

that Administrative Agent and its successors and assigns shall at all times have and hold the same as security for the payment of the Loans. Borrower shall deliver copies of all original policies certified to Administrative Agent by the insurance company or authorized agent as being true copies, together with the endorsements required hereunder. The proceeds of insurance policies coming into the possession of Administrative Agent shall not be deemed trust funds, and Administrative Agent shall be entitled to apply such proceeds as herein provided.

(d) Adjustments. Borrower shall give immediate written notice of any loss to the insurance carrier and to Administrative Agent. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers Administrative Agent, as attorney-in-fact for Borrower coupled with an interest, to notify any of Borrower’s insurance carriers to add Administrative Agent as a loss payee, mortgagee insured or additional insured, as the case may be, to any policy maintained by Borrower (regardless of whether such policy is required under this Agreement), to make proof of loss, to adjust and compromise any claim under insurance policies, to appear in and prosecute any action arising from such insurance policies, to collect and receive insurance proceeds, and to deduct therefrom Administrative Agent’s expenses incurred in the collection of such proceeds. Nothing contained in this Section 3.1(d), however, shall require Administrative Agent to incur any expense or take any action hereunder.

Section 3.2 Use and Application of Insurance Proceeds. Administrative Agent shall apply insurance proceeds to costs of restoring a Property or the Loans as follows:

(a) if the loss is less than or equal to the Threshold Amount, Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) shall apply the insurance proceeds to restoration provided (1) no Event of Default or Potential Default exists, and (2) Borrower promptly commences and is diligently pursuing restoration of the Property;

(b) if the loss exceeds the Threshold Amount, but is not more than 25% of the replacement value of the improvements at such Property (for Properties containing multiple phases or stand alone structures, such calculation to be based on the damaged phase or structure, not the Property as a whole), Administrative Agent shall apply the insurance proceeds to restoration provided that at all times during such restoration (1) no Event of Default or Potential Default exists; (2) Administrative Agent determines that there are sufficient funds available to restore and repair the Property to a condition approved by Administrative Agent; (3) Administrative Agent determines that the Net Operating Income of the Portfolio will be sufficient to pay Debt Service during such period; (4) Administrative Agent determines that restoration and repair of the Property to a condition approved by Administrative Agent will be completed within six months after the date of loss or casualty and in any event ninety (90) days prior to the Maturity Date; and (5) Borrower promptly commences and is diligently pursuing restoration of the Property;

(c) if the conditions set forth above are not satisfied or the loss exceeds the maximum amount specified in Section 3.2(b) above, in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, Administrative Agent may (subject to the approval of the Majority Lenders)

-32-

apply any insurance proceeds it may receive to the payment of the Loans or allow all or a portion of such proceeds to be used for the restoration of the Property; and

(d) insurance proceeds applied to restoration will be disbursed on receipt of satisfactory plans and specifications, contracts and subcontracts, schedules, budgets, lien waivers and architects’ certificates, and otherwise in accordance with prudent commercial construction lending practices for construction loan advances, including, as applicable, the closing conditions under Schedule 2.1.

Section 3.3 Condemnation Awards. Borrower shall as soon as is reasonably practical notify Administrative Agent of the institution of any proceeding for the condemnation or other taking of any Property or any portion thereof. Administrative Agent may participate in any such proceeding and Borrower will deliver to Administrative Agent all instruments necessary or required by Administrative Agent to permit such participation. Without Administrative Agent’s prior consent (subject to the approval of the Majority Lenders), Borrower (a) shall not agree to any compensation or award, and (b) shall not take any action or fail to take any action which would cause the compensation to be determined. All awards and compensation for the taking or purchase in lieu of condemnation of any and all Properties or any part thereof are hereby assigned to and shall be paid to Administrative Agent. Borrower authorizes Administrative Agent to collect and receive such awards and compensation, to give proper receipts and acquittances therefor, and in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (which Administrative Agent shall exercise at the direction of the Majority Lenders) to apply the same toward the payment of the Loans, notwithstanding that the Loans may not then be due and payable, or to the restoration of the Property; however, if the award is less than or equal to the Threshold Amount and Borrower requests that such proceeds be used for non-structural site improvements (such as landscape, driveway, walkway and parking area repairs) required to be made as a result of such condemnation, Administrative Agent will apply the award to such restoration in accordance with disbursement procedures applicable to insurance proceeds provided there exists no Potential Default or Event of Default. Borrower, upon request by Administrative Agent, shall execute all instruments requested to confirm the assignment of the awards and compensation to Administrative Agent, free and clear of all liens, charges or encumbrances.

Section 3.4 Impounds. In the event of an Event of Default, Borrower shall, upon Lender’s request, deposit into a reserve with Administrative Agent (the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Reserve”), monthly, one-twelfth (1/12th) of the annual charges for ground or other rent, if any, and real estate taxes, assessments and similar charges and insurance premiums relating to any Property. Deposits shall be made on the basis of Administrative Agent’s estimate from time to time of the charges for the current year (after giving effect to any reassessment or, at Administrative Agent’s election, on the basis of the charges for the prior year, with adjustments when the charges are fixed for the then current year). All funds so deposited shall be held in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Reserve by Administrative Agent under its sole dominion and control, with interest, and may be commingled with Administrative Agent’s general funds. Borrower hereby grants to Administrative Agent (on behalf of Lenders) a first priority security interest in all funds so deposited with Administrative Agent in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Reserve for the purpose of securing the Loans and will take all actions necessary to maintain in favor of Administrative Agent a perfected first priority security interest in the Tax and Insurance Escrow

-33-

Reserve, including, without limitation, executing and filing UCC Financing Statements and continuations thereof and entering into agreements to confirm Administrative Agent’s dominion and control over, and security interest in, the Tax and Insurance Escrow Reserve. While an Event of Default exists, the funds deposited in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Reserve may be applied in payment of the charges for which such funds have been deposited, or to the payment of the Loans or any other charges affecting the security of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, as Administrative Agent may elect, but no such application shall be deemed to have been made by operation of law or otherwise until actually made by Administrative Agent. Borrower shall furnish Administrative Agent with bills for the charges for which such deposits are required at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the charges first become payable. If at any time the amount on deposit with Administrative Agent in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Reserve, together with amounts to be deposited by Borrower before such charges are payable, is insufficient to pay such charges, Borrower shall deposit any deficiency with Administrative Agent in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Reserve immediately upon demand. Administrative Agent shall pay such charges when the amount on deposit with Administrative Agent in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Reserve is sufficient to pay such charges and Administrative Agent has received a ▇▇▇▇ for such charges.

Borrower shall permit Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective agents, representatives and employees, upon reasonable prior notice to Borrower, to inspect each Property and conduct such environmental and engineering studies as Administrative Agent or Lenders may require, provided such inspections and studies do not materially interfere with the use and operation of such Property.

(a) Subject to any consents required pursuant to this Section 11.2 and any other provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 2.3(e)), and any other Loan Document which expressly require the consent, approval or authorization of the Majority Lenders, this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be modified or supplemented only by an instrument in writing signed by Borrower and Administrative Agent; provided that, Administrative Agent may (without any Lender’s consent) give or withhold its agreement to any amendments of the Loan Documents or any waivers or consents in respect thereof or exercise or refrain from exercising any other rights or remedies which Administrative Agent may have under the Loan Documents or otherwise provided that such actions do not, in Administrative Agent’s judgment reasonably exercised, materially adversely affect the value of any collateral, taken as a whole, or represent a departure from Administrative Agent’s standard of care described in Section 13.5 (and the assignment or granting of a participation by GECC shall not limit or otherwise affect its discretion in respect of any of the foregoing), except that Administrative Agent will not, without the consent of each Lender, agree to the following (provided that no Lender’s consent shall be required for any of the following which are otherwise required or contemplated under the Loan Documents): (a) reduce the principal amount of the Loans or reduce the interest rate thereon; (b) extend any stated payment date for principal of or interest on the Loans payable to such Lender; (c) release Borrower, any Guarantor or any other party from liability under the Loan Documents (except for any assigning Lender pursuant to Section 11.24 and any resigning Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.8); (d) release or subordinate in whole or in part any material portion of the collateral given as security for the Loans; (e) modify any of the provisions of this Section, the definition of “Majority Lenders” or any other provision in the Loan Documents specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder; (f) modify the terms of any Event of Default; or (g) consent to (i) the sale, transfer or encumbrance of any portion of the Property (or any interest therein) or any direct or indirect ownership interest therein and (ii) the incurrence by Borrower of any additional indebtedness secured by the Property, in each case to the extent (and subject to any standard of reasonability) such consent is required under the Loan Documents.

-55-

(b) Notwithstanding anything to contrary contained in this Agreement, any modification or supplement of Article 13, or of any of the rights or duties of Administrative Agent hereunder, shall require the consent of Administrative Agent.

(c) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be executed, entered into, altered, amended, or modified by electronic means. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agree that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not be conducted by electronic means, except as specifically set forth in Section 11.1 regarding notices.

Section 11.3 Limitation on Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto to conform strictly to applicable usury laws. Accordingly, all agreements between Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the Loans 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 Administrative Agent or any Lender or charged by any 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 Loans 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: (1) 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 on the Notes by the holders thereof (or, if the Notes have been paid in full, refunded to Borrower); and (2) if maturity is accelerated by reason of an election by Administrative Agent 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 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 as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited on the Notes (or, if the Notes have been paid in full, refunded to Borrower). The terms and provisions of this Section 11.3 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 State, except that if at any time the laws of the United States of America permit the Lenders 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 the Lenders may contract for, take, reserve, charge or receive under the Loan Documents.

Section 11.4 Invalid Provisions. If any provision of any Loan Document is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable; the Loan Documents shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part thereof; the remaining provisions thereof shall remain in full effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance therefrom; and in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision there shall be added automatically

-56-

as a part of such Loan Document a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible to be legal, valid and enforceable.

Section 11.5 Reimbursement of Expenses. Borrower shall pay or reimburse Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders on demand of the applicable party for: (1) all cost and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the negotiation, documentation, closing, disbursement and administration of the Loan, including fees and expenses of Administrative Agent’s attorneys, environmental, engineering, accounting and other consultants, and fees, charges or taxes for the negotiation, recording or filing of Loan Documents, (2) all expenses of Administrative Agent in connection with the administration of the Loans, including audit and inspection fees and costs, settlement of condemnation and casualty awards, title search costs and premiums for title insurance and endorsements thereto, and fees and costs for UCC and litigation searches and background checks, (3) all of Administrative Agents reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of Administrative Agent’s external counsel) incurred in connection with the syndication of the Loans to the Lenders, and (4) Administrative Agent and the Lenders for all amounts expended, advanced or incurred by Administrative Agent and the Lenders to collect the Notes, or to enforce the rights of Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to defend or assert the rights and claims of Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents or with respect to the Property (by litigation or other proceedings), which amounts will include all court costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses, fees of auditors and accountants, and investigation expenses as may be incurred by Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with any such matters (whether or not litigation is instituted), together with interest at the Default Rate on each such amount from the date of disbursement until the date of reimbursement to Administrative Agent and the Lenders, all of which shall constitute part of the Loans and shall be secured by the Loan Documents.

Section 11.6 Approvals; Third Parties; Conditions. All approval rights retained or exercised by Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to leases, contracts, plans, studies and other matters, including Borrower’s and any other Person’s compliance with the provisions of Article 14 and compliance with laws applicable to Borrower, the Properties or any other Person, are solely to facilitate the Lenders’ credit underwriting, and shall not be deemed or construed as a determination that the Lenders have passed on the adequacy thereof for any other purpose and may not be relied upon by Borrower or any other Person. This Agreement is for the sole and exclusive use of Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower and may not be enforced, nor relied upon, by any Person other than Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower. All conditions of the obligations of Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder, including the obligation to make advances, are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, their successors and assigns, and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions or be entitled to assume that the Lenders will refuse to make advances in the absence of strict compliance with any or all of such conditions, and no other Person shall, under any circumstances, be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any and all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Administrative Agent and the Lenders at any time in their sole discretion.

Section 11.7 Lenders and Administrative Agent Not in Control; No Partnership. None of the covenants or other provisions contained in this Agreement shall, or shall be deemed

-57-

to, give Administrative Agent or any Lender the right or power to exercise control over the affairs or management of Borrower, the power of Administrative Agent and the Lenders being limited to the rights to exercise the remedies referred to in the Loan Documents. The relationship between Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lender is, and at all times shall remain, solely that of debtor and creditor. No covenant or provision of the Loan Documents is intended, nor shall it be deemed or construed, to create a partnership, joint venture, agency or common interest in profits or income among Administrative Agent, Lenders and Borrower, or any of them, or to create an equity in the Portfolio or any portion thereof in Administrative Agent or any Lender. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender undertakes or assumes any responsibility or duty to Borrower or to any other person with respect to the Portfolio or any portion thereof or the Loans, except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents; and notwithstanding any other provision of the Loan Documents: (a) neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender are, or shall be construed as, a partner, joint venturer, alter ego, manager, controlling person or other business associate or participant of any kind of Borrower or its stockholders, members, or partners and neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender intends to ever assume such status; (b) neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be liable for any Debts, expenses or losses incurred or sustained by Borrower; and (c) neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be deemed responsible for or a participant in any acts, omissions or decisions of Borrower or its stockholders, members, or partners. Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower disclaim any intention to create any partnership, joint venture, agency or common interest in profits or income among Administrative Agent, Lenders and Borrower, or any of them, or to create an equity in the Portfolio or any portion thereof in Administrative Agent or any Lender, or any sharing of liabilities, losses, costs or expenses.

Borrower agrees to cooperate with Administrative Agent and the Lenders and to execute such documents as Administrative Agent reasonably may request to effect such division of the Loans.

Section 11.11 Waivers. No course of dealing on the part of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, its officers, employees, consultants or agents, nor any failure or delay by Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to exercising any right, power or privilege of Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents, shall operate as a waiver thereof.

There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.

Section 11.23 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which shall constitute one document.

(a) Assignments by Borrower. Borrower may not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under the Notes without the prior consent of all of the Lenders and Administrative Agent.

(b) Assignments by the Lenders. Each Lender may assign any of its Loans, its Note and its Commitment (but only with the consent of Administrative Agent); provided that:

(i) no such consent by Administrative Agent shall be required in the case of any assignment by any Lender to another Lender or an affiliate of such Lender or such other Lender;

(ii) except to the extent Administrative Agent shall otherwise consent, any such partial assignment (other than to another Lender or an affiliate of a Lender) shall be in an amount at least equal to $10,000,000;

(iii) each such assignment (including an assignment to another Lender or an affiliate of a Lender) by a Lender of its Loans or Commitment shall be made in such manner so that the same portion of its Loans and Commitment is assigned to the respective assignee;

(iv) subject to the applicable Lender’s compliance with the provisions of clauses (b) and (c) above, Administrative Agent’s consent to an assignment shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned if (i) in the reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent, such assignment is made to a reputable institutional investor with substantial experience in real estate lending and originating mortgage loans similar to the Loans, and a financial net worth of at least $100,000,000, (ii) such assignment is first offered to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions a separate agency agreement among Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (iii) the provisions of clause (e) have been satisfied; and

already a Lender) having the Commitment and Loans specified in such instrument, and upon consent thereto by Administrative Agent to the extent required above, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise consented to by Administrative Agent), the obligations, rights and benefits of a Lender hereunder holding the Commitment and Loans (or portions thereof) assigned to it (in addition to the Commitment and Loans, if any, theretofore held by such assignee) and the assigning Lender shall, to the extent of such assignment, be released from the Commitment (or portion thereof) so assigned. Upon each such assignment the assigning Lender shall pay Administrative Agent a processing and recording fee of $3,500 and the reasonable fees and disbursements of Administrative Agent’s counsel incurred in connection therewith.

(c) Participations. A Lender may sell or agree to sell to one or more other Persons (each a “Participant”) a participation in all or any part of any Loans held by it, or in its Commitment, provided that such Participant shall not have any rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Note or any other Loan Document (the Participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreements executed by such Lender and the applicable Participant). All amounts payable by Borrower to any Lender under Section 2.7 in respect of Loans held by it and its Commitment shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold or agreed to sell any participations in such Loans and Commitment, and as if such Lender were funding each of such Loans and Commitment in the same way that it is funding the portion of such Loans and Commitment in which no participations have been sold.

No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.

-64-

such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants).

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 13.1 Appointment, Powers and Immunities. Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent to act as its agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents with such powers as are specifically delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and of the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Administrative Agent (which term as used in this sentence and in Section 13.5 and the first sentence of Section 13.6 shall include reference to its affiliates and its own and its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents):

(i) shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents, and shall not by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document be a trustee for any Lender;

(ii) shall not be responsible to the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or for any failure by Borrower or any other Person to perform any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder; and

(iii) shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document or under any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection herewith or therewith, except to the extent any such action taken or omitted violates Administrative Agent’s standard of care set forth in the first sentence of Section 13.5.

Administrative Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact, and may delegate all or any part of its obligations hereunder, to third parties and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents, attorneys-in-fact or third parties selected by it in good faith. Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of a Note as the holder thereof for all

-67-

purposes hereof unless and until a notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with Administrative Agent.

Section 13.2 Reliance by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including, without limitation, any thereof by telephone, telecopy, telegram or cable) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by Administrative Agent. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or thereunder in accordance with instructions given by the Majority Lenders, and such instructions of the Majority Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders.

Section 13.3 Defaults. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Potential Default or Event of Default unless Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or Borrower specifying such Potential Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. In the event that Administrative Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Potential Default or Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 13.7) take such action with respect to such Potential Default or Event of Default and other matters relating to the Loans as shall be directed by the Lenders in accordance with a separate agreement entered into by Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

Section 13.4 Rights as a Lender. With respect to GECC’s Commitment and the Loans made by it, GECC (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent) in its capacity as a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. GECC (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent) and its affiliates (including GECC) may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) lend money to, make investments in and generally engage in any kind of lending, trust or other business with Borrower (and any of its Affiliates) as if it were not acting as Administrative Agent, and GECC and its affiliates (including GECC may accept fees and other consideration from Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

Section 13.5 Standard of Care; Indemnification.

The Lenders agree to indemnify Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed under Section 11.5, but without limiting the obligations of Borrower under Section 11.5) ratably in accordance

-68-

with the aggregate principal amount of the Loans held by the Lenders (or, if no Loans are at the time outstanding, ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments), for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent (including by any Lender) arising out of or by reason of any investigation in or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses that Borrower is obligated to pay under Section 11.5, but excluding, unless a Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, normal administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance of its agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from Administrative Agent’s breach of its standard of care set forth in the first sentence of this Section.

Section 13.6 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of Borrower and its Affiliates and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document. Subject to the provisions of the first sentence of Section 13.5, Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by Borrower of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the Property or the books of Borrower or any of its Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by Administrative Agent hereunder or as otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent and the Lenders, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of Borrower or any of its Affiliates that may come into the possession of Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates.

Section 13.7 Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required of Administrative Agent hereunder, and under the other Loan Documents, Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and thereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from the Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 13.5 against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

Section 13.8 Resignation of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a financial institution that has (a) an office in New York, New York with a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 and (b) knowledge and experience comparable to the resigning Administrative Agent’s knowledge and experience in the servicing of loans similar to the Loans hereunder. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the

-69-

Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and (ii) the Majority Lenders shall perform the duties of Administrative Agent (and all payments and communications provided to be made by, to or through Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly) until such time as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above in this Section 13.8. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 13.8). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 13 and Section 11.5 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

From time to time upon the written request of Administrative Agent, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a schedule of the name, legal domicile address and jurisdiction of organization, if applicable, for each Borrower Party and each holder of a legal interest in Borrower.

Section 14.7 Actions Taken Pursuant to Anti-Money Laundering Laws. If Administrative Agent or any Lender reasonably believes that Borrower, any Borrower Party or any Interest Holder may have breached any of its representations, warranties or covenants set forth in this Article 14, Administrative Agent or such Lender has the right (and may have the obligation under applicable law), with or without notice to Borrower, to (1) notify the appropriate governmental authority (or authorities) and to take such action as such governmental authority (or authorities) may direct; (2) withhold Loan advances and segregate the assets constituting the Loan or any of Borrower’s funds or assets deposited with or otherwise controlled by Administrative Agent or such Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; (3) decline any payment (or deposit such payment with an appropriate United States governmental authority or court) or decline any prepayment or consent request, and/or declare an Event of Default and immediately accelerate the Loan. Borrower agrees that it shall not assert any claim (and hereby waives any claim that it may now or hereafter have) against Administrative Agent or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates or agents for any form of damages as a result of any of the foregoing actions, regardless of whether Administrative Agent or such Lender’s reasonable belief is ultimately demonstrated to be accurate.
