MORTGAGE ORIGINATION AND SERVICING AGREEMENT

This Mortgage Origination and Servicing Agreement (“MOSA” or this “Agreement”) is made as of August 28, 2009, by CreXus Investment Corp., a Maryland corporation (“Lender”), and Principal Real Estate Investors, LLC, a limited liability company organized pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware (“Principal”). The parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1.

BACKGROUND.

1.01. Objective. Principal has agreed with Lender, as more particularly set forth in this Agreement, that Principal shall perform or cause certain of its affiliates to perform certain services associated with loans secured by real property and commercial improvements thereon and loans secured by interests in the owners of real property, including but not limited to originating, sourcing, closing and servicing such loans. Lender may acquire from time to time interests in certain commercial loans (as defined herein) secured by mortgages, deeds of trust or documents of similar effect creating security interests in real property (each a “mortgage” or sometimes herein “Mortgage” and collectively the “mortgages” or “Mortgages”) encumbering certain real property and commercial improvements thereon (each a “Property” and collectively the “Properties”), and Lender may also acquire from time to time interests in certain real estate related subordinate loans, including, but not limited to, mezzanine loans, “B” notes and bridge loans (collectively “Sub Debt”), each originated pursuant to this Agreement for Lender. Lender and Principal also desire that Principal perform certain services for the benefit of Lender in connection with such commercial loans, mortgages, Properties and Sub Debt acquired by Lender pursuant to this Agreement. These services are more fully described in service level agreements relating to underwriting loans (the “Underwriting Service Level Agreement”), closing loans (the “Closing Service Level Agreement”), servicing loans (the “Loan Servicing Service Level Agreement”) and reporting (the “Accounting and Reporting Service Level Agreement”). These Service Level Agreements (collectively, the “SLAs”) are attached to this Agreement as Attachments 1 through 4 and are hereby fully incorporated into this Agreement. In order to further these objectives, Lender and Principal have executed this Agreement.

ARTICLE 2.

GENERAL PROVISIONS.

2.01. Engagement. As used herein, “commercial loan” means a loan secured by the lien of a mortgage on commercial, development or multi-family real estate (i.e., a loan not for personal, family or household purposes and secured by a facility with six or more dwelling units). Collectively, commercial loans and Sub Debt covered by this Agreement, may be referred to as an “Investment” or “Investments”. Lender hereby engages Principal as an independent contractor (except as expressly set forth herein with respect to certain servicing activities) to provide for the sourcing, acquisition, origination, and closing and servicing of commercial loans and Sub Debt on behalf of Lender as further set forth in this Agreement and the SLAs. Following the acquisition or origination, closing, and funding by Lender of an Investment, Principal shall provide for the servicing of and collection, remittance and reporting for each Investment as provided in the SLAs. Principal hereby accepts its appointment and

-- 1 --

agrees to perform its covenants and obligations pursuant to the applicable terms of this Agreement and in accordance with the Standard of Care (as defined in Section 2.02).

2.02. Standard of Care. Subject to the limitations on Principal’s authority set forth herein and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Principal represents that it and any affiliate performing services with respect to any Investment shall act and shall perform its responsibilities hereunder subject to and in accordance with (i) the same care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that is exercised by an active and sophisticated lender in the commercial real estate lending industry, but not less than Principal’s own standards for its own investments, (ii) applicable laws, and (iii) the terms and provisions hereof. With respect to its servicing obligations under this Agreement, in addition to the foregoing, Principal shall service and administer the Investments subject to this Agreement on behalf of Lender and in the best interests of and for the sole benefit of Lender, further as follows: (w) in accordance with the provisions of each note evidencing an Investment, the related mortgage and other loan documents executed and delivered in connection therewith (collectively, the "Loan Documents") and applicable law; (x) with not less than the same care, skill and diligence as an active and sophisticated servicer would apply in its general mortgage servicing and property management activities on behalf of third parties, with respect to Investments that are comparable to those for which it is responsible hereunder and for which comparable services have been contracted; (y) with a view to the timely collection of all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Investments or, if a Investment comes into and continues in default and if, in the good faith and reasonable judgment of Principal, no satisfactory arrangements can be made for the collection of the delinquent payments, the recovery on such Investment to Lender; and (z) without regard to (1) any relationship that Principal or any affiliate thereof may have with the related borrower, (2) the right of Principal or any affiliate thereof to receive reimbursement of costs, or the sufficiency of any compensation payable to it, hereunder or with respect to any particular transaction, and (3) the ownership, servicing or management for others of any other mortgage loans or property. Principal agrees that it shall act as Lender’s fiduciary with respect to Lender’s funds or funds held by Principal on Lender’s behalf. The foregoing collectively shall hereafter be referred to as the “Standard of Care”.

2.03. Power of Attorney. To enable Principal to exercise fully its discretion and authority as provided by this Agreement with respect to the holding or servicing of an Investment, Lender hereby authorizes and empowers Principal, any authorized officer(s) of Principal and any authorized officer of any affiliate of Principal to take any action and to execute on behalf of Lender any and all documents and instruments with respect to which actions, documents and instruments Principal has authority under this Agreement, and which it may deem appropriate regarding the holding or servicing of any Investment and the performance of any function undertaken by Principal pursuant to this Agreement or the SLAs following the acquisition of an Investment by Lender. In no event shall the foregoing power of attorney extend to activities arising prior to the closing of an Investment. Lender agrees to provide Principal with any additional documentation reasonably necessary to evidence the authority contemplated by this Agreement, including without limitation the delivery to Principal on or after the date of this Agreement of a Power of Attorney in the form attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “Power of Attorney”). Lender and Principal agree that the Power of Attorney is intended to give Principal apparent authority to carry out the purposes of this Agreement when dealing with third parties, but that the terms, restrictions and obligations of this Agreement shall govern

-- 2 --

Principal’s actual authority to conduct affairs on behalf of Lender, notwithstanding the provisions of the Power of Attorney. In any conflict between Lender and Principal regarding Principal’s authority, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail over any conflicting terms of the Power of Attorney. Principal agrees that the authorization set forth herein including, without limitation, any Power of Attorney granted in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A by Lender shall terminate upon the effective termination date of this Agreement as set forth in Section 10.01(a). Further, such authority shall be strictly limited to the purposes described in this Agreement.

2.04. Delegation of Rights and Duties. Principal may delegate any of its duties or obligations under this Agreement to any of its affiliates subject to providing notice to Lender; provided, however, that Principal shall remain liable for any failure to perform the duties and obligations of Principal under this Agreement regardless of whether such duties and responsibilities have been delegated to an affiliate, and Principal shall not delegate any of the duties and obligations of Principal that involve discretion in the selection of Investments without the prior written consent of Lender. Any affiliate to which Principal has delegated such duties or obligations under this Agreement shall be obligated to perform the duties and obligations of Principal under this Agreement as delegated to it, and shall be liable to Lender with respect thereto to the same extent as Principal, and shall be entitled to exercise all of the rights and authority, and shall be an agent, of Principal entitled to the indemnification and exculpation, set forth in this Agreement for Principal.

3.01.

Investment Criteria.

Principal will provide prospective Investment opportunities as described in the Underwriting SLA meeting those certain investment criteria set forth on Exhibit B to this Agreement (the “Investment Criteria”). Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, change the Investment Criteria from time to time upon written notice to Principal.

3.02.

Procedures for Investments.

(a) With respect to each prospective Investment, before the approval of such prospective Investment for Lender’s account by Principal’s investment committee, Principal will provide Lender with a summary of the pertinent terms and features of the prospective Investment and certain features of the Property in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Fact Sheet”). Lender shall promptly after receipt of the Fact Sheet notify Principal in writing (as used herein, "writing" shall include e-mail unless otherwise specifically noted) of Lender’s preliminary approval or disapproval of such prospective Investment. In the event Lender elects to proceed, it shall issue to Principal a Rate Quote Approval in the form of Exhibit H attached hereto and made a part hereof. Failure by Lender to so notify Principal within two (2) business days shall be deemed a decision to reject the prospective Investment.

-- 3 --

(b) Promptly following the prospective borrower’s acceptance of the terms of the Investment, which terms Principal shall ensure are consistent with the Rate Quote Approval, Principal shall continue its underwriting of the Investment and negotiation of the Loan Application/Commitment with the borrower using the standard form of Loan Application/Commitment (the “App/Comm”) previously approved by Lender. At such time as Principal believes that the terms are acceptable to the borrower and to Lender, Principal shall submit to Lender a blacklined comparison of the App/Comm marked to show all changes to the App/Comm from the then current, standard form of App/Comm approved by Lender. Lender will notify Principal in writing of Lender's approval or disapproval of the App/Comm within two (2) business days. Failure by Lender to so notify Principal or alternatively to fail to make comments/request changes required to make the App/Comm acceptable within said two (2) business days shall be deemed a decision to reject the prospective Investment.

(c) After the App/Comm has been signed by the borrower, the borrower has paid all required deposits, and the transaction has been allocated to Lender (in accordance with Exhibit F), Principal shall notify Lender in writing of such allocation and continue its underwriting in accordance with the Underwriting SLA. Principal shall submit to Lender at the same time the Loan Documents are sent to the borrower, a set of the proposed Loan Documents.

(d) Principal shall provide to Lender for its review and approval a loan approval package (the “Committee Package”) in form, substance and format previously disclosed to Lender that includes a full description of the prospective Investment and a summary of the underwriting due diligence with respect to such prospective Investment including, without limitation, the items set out in the Underwriting SLA. Unless previously disclosed to and approved by Lender in writing, a cover letter to the Committee Package shall specifically identify any previously undisclosed material variations from the Investment Criteria, the most recent Fact Sheet, or the Rate Quote Approval form.

(e) Principal will notify Lender in writing of Principal's Investment Committee approval, conditional approval, or rejection of the prospective Investment. Lender shall have two (2) business days after notification of Principal's Investment Committee action to notify Principal in writing of Lender’s approval or disapproval of such prospective Investment.

(f) Subsequent to Lender’s approval of the Committee Package during the loan closing process, Principal will promptly notify Lender in writing of any material changes from the information presented in the Committee Package that may arise with respect to the Investment or the Property upon Principal becoming aware of the same, and Lender shall have two (2) business days to notify Principal in writing of Lender’s approval or disapproval of such change. At a date four (4) business days prior to the desired funding date, Principal shall submit to Lender a blacklined set of Loan Documents marked to show changes from the then current, standard forms of Loan Documents, and Lender shall have two (2) business days to notify Principal in writing of Lender's approval or disapproval of such changes, provided, however, if Lender fails to respond to Principal within said 2 business day period, the Loan Documents will be deemed approved. No later than two (2) business days prior to the desired funding date, Principal shall e-mail to Lender, a final notice of closing and request for funds as prescribed in the Closing SLA, together with a set of the final Loan Documents.

3.03. Due Diligence and Closing Procedures. All due diligence of prospective Investments shall be conducted by Principal in accordance with the Underwriting SLA. The closing of an Investment shall be conducted by Principal in accordance with the Closing SLA. In conjunction with the making of commercial loans on behalf of Lender by Principal, Principal will comply with necessary requirements in each jurisdiction where a commercial loan is made to qualify Principal Life Insurance Company as a recognized and licensed mortgage lender.

3.04.

Principal shall preserve all financial and accounting records for not less than seven (7) years from the earlier of (i) the expiration date of this Agreement or earlier termination, or (ii) the disposition of the Investment, unless, in connection with the expiration or termination of this Agreement or the disposition of the Investment, as the case may be, Principal transfers all such records to Lender or its replacement. Principal shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, complete and accurate original documentation of all transactions related to the Investments, including receipts and all correspondence relating thereto on such forms as Lender and/or Lender’s auditors may reasonably require.

(c) The parties’ duty of confidentiality under this Section 7.01 shall extend to all data, reports, interpretations, forecasts and records containing financial information or information concerning the other party’s and its affiliates’ processes or procedures, together with analysis, compilations and other documents, which contain such information. Each party shall provide that such information will not be copied, otherwise reproduced, transferred or displayed to any person by either written or verbal communication without the disclosing party’s prior

-- 12 --

written consent, provided that such information may be made available by a party to its counsel, accountants, auditors, advisory and audit committees and affiliates to the extent they need to know the same, or as otherwise may be required (or, upon the good faith advice of counsel, determined by such party to be required) by foreign law or the laws of the United States or any other governmental authority. The duty of confidentiality described herein shall not extend to information, which (i) was publicly known prior to delivery of such documents and information, or thereafter becomes publicly known through no fault or action of a the recipient, or its employees, agents, or representatives; (ii) is developed independently of, and without use of, the documents and information provided by the disclosing party; or (iii) is rightfully obtained from third parties authorized to make such disclosure without restrictions and without the recipient’s knowledge that such documents or information constitute confidential information. Each party’s confidential information shall be and remain the sole property of the disclosing party. All confidential information in electronic form shall be erased or destroyed promptly upon written request by the disclosing party. Each party agrees reasonably to cooperate in seeking reasonable protective arrangements requested by the disclosing party, and promptly to notify the disclosing party if the recipient receives any subpoena or other legal process seeking disclosure of the disclosing party’s confidential information.

(d) Each party understands and acknowledges that each party’s confidential information is unique and valuable and that a breach by the recipient of its obligations set forth herein may result in irreparable injury to the disclosing party, for which monetary damages alone would not be an adequate remedy. Therefore, each party agrees that in the event of a breach of this Section 7.01, the disclosing party shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach or anticipated breach. Any such relief shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any appropriate relief in the way of monetary damages.

7.02. Insurance. Principal shall cause insurance to be maintained with the coverages and in the amounts set forth on Exhibit E attached hereto and made a part hereof. All insurance carriers shall possess a Standard & Poor’s Financial Rating of A-, or comparable, or higher. To the extent Principal has knowledge of a cancellation of the coverage provided by such policies, Principal shall give prompt notice to Lender of such cancellation. A certificate of insurance certifying that such policy which provides the coverage required by Lender has been issued, shall be delivered to Lender concurrently with the execution hereof, each anniversary thereafter, and at any other time upon the request of Lender. The cost of the above insurance coverage shall be the responsibility of Principal and shall not be reimbursable. In lieu of the coverage required by this Section 7.02, Principal may self-insure with respect to the liabilities described during any period in which Lender has approved such self-insurance in writing.

7.03. Additional Covenants. Principal shall promptly, and in any case within ten (10) business days, notify Lender in writing if Principal becomes aware:

(a) That any representation or warranty made by Principal as to itself or any affiliate in Article 6 was untrue in any material respect as of the date on which made or deemed made;

-- 13 --

(b) Of any material change in Principal’s or any affiliate’s business organization which change might reasonably be expected to have an effect on Principal’s or such affiliate’s performance under this Agreement;

(c) Of any investigation, examination or other proceeding involving Principal or any affiliate performing services pursuant to this Agreement commenced by any regulatory agency which is not conducted in the ordinary course of business; and

(d)

Of any of the following changes in Principal’s financial condition:

(i) If Principal shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent by a court of competent jurisdiction, or any order shall be made by a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver, liquidator or trustee of Principal or if all or substantially all of its property by reason of the foregoing or approving any petition filed against Principal for its reorganization and such adjudication order or petition has not been stayed or discharged pending appeal within sixty (60) days of its entry;

(ii) If Principal shall institute proceedings for voluntary bankruptcy or shall file a petition seeking reorganization under the federal bankruptcy laws, or for relief under any law for the relief of debtors, or shall consent to the appointment of a receiver, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due;

(iii) Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.01 hereof, if any governmental authority, court or self-regulatory authority shall withdraw, suspend or revoke or declare invalid any license, charter, authorization or registration required or necessary for the conduct by Principal of any material portion of its business and such action has not been stayed or discharged pending appeal within sixty (60) days of its entry; or

(iv) If any event or circumstance shall occur which materially impairs the financial condition of Principal or the ability of Principal to perform its obligations hereunder.

7.04.

Third Party Litigation.

(a) Principal shall cooperate in any litigation brought by third parties against Lender, or by Lender against any third party (other than Principal or its affiliates or any Principal Indemnified Party), involving or related to Principal’s duties or any acts of Principal pursuant to this Agreement, Lender’s duties or any acts of Lender pursuant to this Agreement, or concerning any Investment, which cooperation shall include but not be limited to, providing documents and information, testifying in depositions or court proceedings, and seeking insurance coverage for such litigation and/or the claims involved in such litigation, including coverage for litigation costs and attorneys’ fees. Except to the extent such matter is the subject of a claim by Lender for indemnification under Article 9, Lender shall reimburse Principal for all out-of-pocket costs of Principal reasonably incurred by Principal or any Principal Indemnified Party in complying with this Section 7.04(a).

-- 14 --

(b) Lender shall cooperate in any litigation brought by third parties against Principal, or by Principal against any third party (other than Lender or its affiliates or any Lender Indemnified Party), involving or related to Principal’s duties or any acts of Principal pursuant to this Agreement, Lender’s duties or any acts of Lender pursuant to this Agreement, or concerning any Investment, which cooperation shall include but not be limited to, providing documents and information, testifying in depositions or court proceedings, and seeking insurance coverage for such litigation and/or claims involved in such litigation, including coverage for litigation costs and attorney's fees. Principal shall reimburse Lender for all out-of-pocket costs of Lender reasonably incurred by Lender or any Lender Indemnified Party in complying with this Section 7.04(b).

ARTICLE 8.

NEGATIVE COVENANTS OF PRINCIPAL.

8.01. No Affiliate Benefits. Without the prior written consent of Lender, neither Principal nor its affiliates shall directly receive any economic benefit from any Investment originated pursuant to this Agreement other than as contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding this or any other provision of this Agreement, neither Principal nor its affiliates shall be precluded from engaging with Lender or its affiliates in other transactions or receiving compensation, fees or reimbursements pursuant to separate contracts for other services or transactions with Lender or its affiliates as may be agreed to by Lender or its affiliates. Further, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Principal or any of its affiliates from (i) providing similar services to and on behalf of its own account(s) or to any third party; (ii) owning or investing in any property or any investment that is similar to Investments desired by Lender; or (iii) making investments with borrowers for its own account as well as for third parties which borrowers are the same or related to the borrowers on Investments desired by Lender. Further, Principal and any affiliate may service any such investment under a servicing agreement with such other party. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, Principal agrees to fully disclose to Lender the interest of Principal or any affiliate of Principal in any Investment presented to Lender for consideration. As used herein, an “affiliate” of a party shall mean any individual or entity (including without limitation any corporation, limited liability company, partnership or joint venture) that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with such party.

8.02.

No Conflict of Interest.

(a) Principal’s engagement under this Agreement and the services provided by any affiliate of Principal pursuant to this Agreement are not exclusive. Further, this engagement confers no exclusive rights in Principal, and Lender may enter into similar agreements with other parties. Lender acknowledges and understands that Principal and its affiliates engage in investments similar to that contemplated by Article 3 and originate and service investments for its own accounts. In addition, Lender acknowledges that Principal and its affiliates maintain with other persons relationships similar to that contemplated by this Agreement. These facts may create conflicts of interest concerning the allocation of Investment opportunities associated with Article 3. Principal will act in good faith in a fair and reasonable manner in allocating opportunities involving Investments made pursuant to Article 3 of this Agreement among Lender and other accounts managed by Principal and its affiliates. A

-- 15 --

description of the protocol to be used by Principal in allocating Investments by and among Lender and others is set forth in Exhibit F. Upon Request of Lender, such request to be made no more than once per calendar quarter, Principal shall provide to Lender a summary of the allocations for the preceding calendar quarter; provided, however, Principal shall not be required to disclose any identifying or other information about any such opportunities as to which Principal reasonably believes it is bound by confidentiality restrictions.

(b) In furtherance of this Agreement, Lender hereby agrees that no provision of this Agreement shall (i) prohibit or limit the right of Principal or any of its affiliates to (A) arrange and own any Investment for its own account(s) or for sale to a third party without an obligation to sell or assign such Investment to Lender, and (B) enter into similar agreements with any other party, or (ii) be construed to require Principal or any of its affiliates to (A) grant to Lender any right of first opportunity or first refusal with respect to any Investment, or (B) originate on behalf of Lender any Investment. No conflict of interest shall be deemed to exist by reason of any of the actions or omissions to act of Principal or any of its affiliates contemplated by this Article 8.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any Investment held by Lender or any proposed Investment under consideration by Lender, neither Principal nor any affiliate of Principal shall co-invest with Lender in such Investment or proposed Investment without the prior written consent of Lender, given or withheld in its sole discretion. Principal agrees that, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement that permits commingling of funds, neither Principal nor any of its affiliates or delegees shall commingle the funds of Lender with the funds of any separate account managed by Principal or any of its affiliates on behalf Lender.

ARTICLE 9.		INDEMNIFICATION.
	9.01.		General.

(a) Principal shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender and its affiliates, and all partners, members, shareholders, directors, officers, agents, advisors and employees of Lender and its affiliates (each a “Lender Indemnified Party”) from and against, and be responsible for, any and all claims, losses, costs, expenses, liabilities, damages or deficiencies, including interest, penalties and attorney’s fees, arising out of or due to (i) a breach of any representation or warranty, covenant or agreement of Principal contained in this Agreement including Principal’s or any of its affiliate’s failure to comply with the Standard of Care, (ii) acts or omissions constituting bad faith, willful misfeasance, negligence or reckless disregard of duties in connection with the performance by each Principal Indemnified Party of its obligations under this Agreement, or (iii) actions taken by any Principal Indemnified Party outside the scope of this Agreement or performed with the approval of any Principal Indemnified Party by persons not authorized to act under this Agreement. Neither Principal nor any affiliate shall have any responsibility whatsoever and shall incur no liability to the extent arising out of (a) the selection of Investment Criteria, (b) any act or omission made pursuant to the approval or permitted instructions of Lender but only to the extent such act or omission was directly authorized by such approval or permitted instructions, and provided further that this clause (b) does not relieve Principal of its duty to provide to Lender information otherwise required by this Agreement, (c)

-- 16 --

investment losses incurred by Lender due to investment decisions made in accordance with this Agreement, (d) any act or omission of Lender (other than those acts and omissions made by Lender in reliance upon or based on the advice or representations of Principal or any of its affiliates under this Agreement), or (e) any act or omission of any third-party contractor, other than delegees of Principal’s duties under this Agreement and other than Principal’s affiliates and their respective employees, retained by Principal to provide services to Lender, provided that such contractor has been selected and overseen by Principal or any affiliate in accordance with the Standard of Care.

(b) Except for matters for which Principal provides indemnification under subsection (a) above, Lender shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Principal, its affiliates, members, partners, directors, shareholders, officers, agents and employees (each a “Principal Indemnified Party”) from and against, and be responsible for any and all claims, losses, costs, expenses, liabilities, damages or deficiencies arising from or due to (i) a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Lender contained in this Agreement or (ii) acts or omissions constituting bad faith, willful misfeasance, or negligence in connection with the performance by each Lender Indemnified Party of its obligations under this Agreement, or (iii) actions taken by a Lender Indemnified Party outside of the scope of this Agreement or performed with the approval of any Lender Indemnified Party by persons not authorized to act under this Agreement.

(c)

The provisions of this Article 9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 10.

TERM AND TERMINATION.

10.01. Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence as of the date hereof and shall be terminable (i) by Lender at any time with or without cause upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Principal, and (ii) by Principal with or without cause upon one-hundred eighty (180) days prior written notice to Lender, provided, however, Principal shall continue to service the Investments in accordance with this Agreement under the Servicing SLA until such time as a successor servicer is appointed by Lender and Lender shall continue to pay all applicable servicing fees to Principal.

10.02. Principal’s Obligations Upon Termination. Upon receipt or transmittal by it of such a termination notice, Principal shall not thereafter exercise any of its powers under this Agreement to enter into any contract with respect to any Investment (except as may be required by applicable law) without Lender’s written consent. Following termination, Principal shall furnish to Lender, within a reasonable timeframe, a final report on its activities and the status of the Investments. From and after the effective date of termination of this Agreement, neither Principal nor any affiliate shall be entitled to compensation for further services hereunder except as to servicing under the Servicing SLA until such time as a successor servicer is appointed by Lender. Principal shall forthwith upon such termination, but in no event later than fifteen (15) business days following such termination:

(a) Remit to Lender any funds collected and held for Lender’s account pursuant to this Agreement or the SLAs together with a full accounting, including a statement showing all funds collected and of all funds held by Principal or any of its affiliates during the

-- 17 --

period following the date of the last accounting report furnished to Lender pursuant to this Agreement;

(b) Deliver to Lender or its designee all loan files including, without limitation, all property and Loan Documents then in Principal’s or any of its affiliates’ custody, together with all information in Principal’s possession or control regarding the Investments, including the servicing of same, in form readily accessible by Lender using software that is not proprietary to Principal or its affiliates and that does not require the payment to Principal or its affiliates of license fees or royalties to access same (Principal acknowledging that all such Loan Documents and records are the property of Lender).

10.03. Further Assurances on Termination. From and after the effective date of the termination of this Agreement and during the six-month period thereafter (such period, the “Transition Period”), Principal and any of its affiliates providing services pursuant to this Agreement shall cooperate fully with Lender in order to effect an orderly transition of investment management responsibilities. The foregoing shall include, without limitation, attending such post-termination meetings and additional consultations during the Transition Period as shall be reasonably requested by Lender. Lender shall pay Principal or Principal's applicable affiliates a reasonable per diem rate for the provisions of such services during the Transition Period if Principal is not otherwise entitled to the Servicing Fees and shall reimburse Principal and its applicable affiliates for their reasonable expenses incurred in providing such services during the Transition Period, as shall be mutually agreed upon by Principal and Lender in good faith. The obligations imposed by this Article 10 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

10.04. Survival of Rights. Upon any termination of this Agreement, the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall cease as of the date specified in the notice of termination, with the exception of any rights or obligations which are specifically referenced herein as surviving termination of this Agreement, and except that (i) Lender shall perform any outstanding funding obligations under executed commitment letters with a borrower for Investments that are committed to close if Principal complies or causes compliance with the terms and conditions of all applicable commitments and this Agreement, and (ii) Lender shall promptly remit to Principal any fees or reimbursements then due and owing.

10.05. No Termination Resulting from Liquidation. Unless Lender has given a notice of termination pursuant to Section 10.01, no exercise by Lender of its right under Section 11.08 to transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of any Investment(s) shall terminate this Agreement as to any such Investment but shall not operate as a termination of this entire Agreement.

10.06. Termination Fee. In the event Lender terminates servicing by Principal on certain individual Investments or individual pools of Investments, such termination shall not cause a triggering of the termination fee described herein. If Lender terminates this Agreement in total without cause within four (4) years from the date of this Agreement, Lender shall pay to Principal on the termination date a termination fee equal to the then present value of all scheduled future servicing fees related to the Investments calculated using the monthly equivalent of a seven percent (7%) annual discount rate.

Any party hereto may from time to time by notice in writing served upon the other as aforesaid designate a different mailing address to which all such notices or demands thereafter are to be addressed.

In order to avoid delay in the provision of the services to be rendered pursuant to this Agreement, Principal and Lender shall each designate at least one (1) but not more than two (2) specific representative(s) for purposes of communications between the parties hereto, other than communications for which notice is given above. Such representative(s) may be changed upon written notice to the other party.

-- 19 --

11.02. Entire Agreement.

11.03. Waivers and Amendments. This Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded, canceled, renewed or extended, and the terms and conditions hereof may be waived, only by a written instrument signed by Lender and Principal, or, in the case of a waiver, the party waiving compliance. No delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of any party of any right, power or privilege hereunder, nor any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder.

11.04. Cumulative Remedies. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any party may otherwise have at law or in equity. The rights and remedies of any party arising out of or otherwise in respect of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement shall in no way be limited by the fact that the act, omission, occurrence or other state of facts upon which any claim of any such inaccuracy or breach is based may also be the subject matter of any other representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement (or in any other agreement between the parties) as to which there is no inaccuracy or breach.

11.05. Binding Effect. Subject to Section 11.07, this Agreement and the rights, covenants, conditions and obligations of the respective parties hereto and any instrument or agreement executed pursuant hereto shall be binding upon the parties and be binding upon the successors, assigns and legal representatives of the respective parties hereto.

11.06. Further Assurances. Each of the parties hereto shall execute such further documents and other papers and perform such further acts as may be reasonably required or desirable to carry out the provisions hereof.

11.07. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned (as the term “assignment” is defined by the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and rules promulgated thereunder), contracted for or otherwise delegated by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement without Principal’s consent to a wholly-owned affiliate.

11.08. Assignment or Disposition of Investments By Lender. Lender reserves the right to sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Investment(s) without the consent of Principal, and if Lender does so, it shall give notice to Principal of such sale, transfer, assignment or other disposition (for purposes of this Section 11.08, the “Disposition” to an “Assignee”). Such notice shall include the name and address of the Assignee. Until Principal

-- 20 --

receives such written notice, Principal shall be entitled to treat Lender as the owner of such Investment. Upon any such Disposition, each of Principal and Lender shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Investment.

11.09. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

11.10. Section Headings. The section headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to alter or affect any provision hereof.

11.11. Attorney’s Fees. In the event of any litigation, arbitration or mediation between the parties hereto, the non-prevailing party shall, following a final non-appealable or non-appealed judgment, pay the expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, of the prevailing party in connection therewith.

11.12. Compliance with Applicable Law. The parties hereto shall carry out their respective duties and responsibilities hereunder in accordance with, and be limited in the exercise of their respective rights by, the provisions of all applicable law.

11.13. Governing Law, Dispute Resolution. This Agreement shall be administered, construed and enforced according to the laws of the State of New York (without regard to any conflicts of law provisions) to the extent such laws have not been preempted by applicable federal law, and each party hereby consents to venue in any state court or federal court (to the extent permitted by the laws of the State of New York) of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York. The parties hereby waive any claim or defense that such forum is not convenient or proper. Each party agrees that any such court shall have in personam jurisdiction over it and consents to service of process in any manner authorized by law. Each party agrees that in the event it has at any time any dispute regarding this Agreement or any right, duty, or obligation granted or arising under this Agreement, it will try in good faith to resolve all such disputes through negotiation. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prevent a party from obtaining judicial relief to prevent irreparable harm.

11.14. Severability. Should one or more provisions of this Agreement be held by any court to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless continue in full force.

11.15.

Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.

11.16. No Agency. Principal and Lender agree that for all purposes, except as expressly set forth herein, in the performance of this Agreement, Principal and its affiliates, agents, representatives and employees shall be deemed to be acting independently and not as an officer, employee or agent of Lender.

11.17. Waiver of Jury Trial. LENDER AND PRINCIPAL ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS A CONSTITUTIONAL ONE, BUT THAT IT MAY BE WAIVED. EACH PARTY, AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE

-- 21 --

OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF ITS CHOICE, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THEIR MUTUAL BENEFIT, WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION REGARDING THE PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO, THIS AGREEMENT.

11.18. Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement on any person other than the parties to it, nor is anything in this Agreement intended to relieve or discharge any obligation of any third person to any party hereto or give any third person any right of subrogation or action over against any party to this Agreement.

11.19. No Legal Representation or Advice. Lender acknowledges and agrees that no employee of Principal or any of its affiliates shall furnish, be required to furnish, or be deemed to be furnishing, tax, accounting or legal advice or representation to Lender, or to any director, officer, agent, affiliate or employee of Lender with respect to services provided hereunder or under any of the SLAs. No attorney-client relationship shall exist between any such persons as a result of this Agreement or of conduct associated with this Agreement. Lender shall seek such legal advice and assistance as it deems appropriate from counsel not affiliated with Principal. Nothing in this Section 11.19, however, shall reduce in any way Principal’s responsibility for the performance (consistent with the Standard of Care) of all of the obligations imposed upon it by this Agreement.

11.20. Waiver of Immunity. Both parties hereby confirm that the making and performance of this Agreement constitutes private and commercial acts that are not subject to governmental immunity in connection with the enforcement of any contractual claims, and that no claim of sovereign immunity shall modify the obligations hereunder or release either party from any of that party’s obligations under this Agreement or any agreement related hereto, nor shall it reduce or modify the rights of either party to enforce such obligations at law or in equity or to recover for breach of this Agreement.

11.21. Securitization Services. Services necessary to the pooling, processing, and securitization of pools of mortgage loans have not been negotiated and are not part of the scope of services contemplated in this Agreement. Any such services that may be required in the future will require the negotiation and completion of an additional scope of services agreement and will be separately priced from the services currently covered under this Agreement.

EXHIBIT C-1

Origination Fee

In the normal course of loan production activities for Lender, the Origination Fee due Principal will be payable from “borrower-paid fees” (see below) collected in connection with new mortgage loan originations. Lender acknowledges that Principal or its affiliate(s) may collect and retain for its own account as part of its compensation hereunder “commitment fees”, “application fees”, “loan origination fees” and/or “due diligence fees” paid from borrowers in connection with commercial loans and Sub Debt loans as described in Section 4.01. Such fees shall be credited against the Origination Fee due, if any, with respect to each Investment, and any excess collected by Principal in any such fees above the Origination Fee for any Investment may be retained by Principal. Lender will have no obligation to reimburse Principal or any of its affiliates for any “borrower-paid fees” not actually paid to Principal by borrower. All “borrower-paid fees” shall be disclosed by Principal to Lender.

Lender and Principal have agreed in principle that in certain cases, Lender is willing to consider allowing Principal to roll some of its Origination Fee into the rate of the new mortgage loan. In these cases, Lender would pay Principal a “premium” price for the loan, the premium going to compensate Principal for the lack of “borrower-paid fees” on the transaction. Neither party is under any obligation to consummate these transactions, but have agreed that on a case-by-case basis, they will be considered.

Commitment Fee

It is Principal’s intent to collect “market-accepted” Commitment Fees from borrowers in connection with commercial loans and Sub Debt loans. The current estimate of these fees is as follows:

	Core 1^st Mortgage Loan Fee: 50 basis points – 100 basis points
	Sub Debt Loan Fee: 75 basis points – 150 basis points

Closing Fee

It is Principal’s intent to collect “market-accepted” Closing Fees from borrowers in connection with commercial loans, where Principal is providing an “in-house” closing of the transaction. These fees vary based upon many factors including the size and complexity of the transaction along with the time required to close the transaction. The current estimate of the minimum fee to be charged is as follows:

Core 1^st Mortgage Loan Fee: $10,000

EXHIBIT C-2

Servicing Fee, Commercial Loans

Lender shall pay to Principal a Servicing Fee for each commercial loan acquired and serviced on behalf of Lender by Principal pursuant to this Agreement, which fee will equal the product of (i) the principal balance of such commercial loan as of the previous month end, and (ii) eight (8) basis points per annum payable on a monthly basis, based on a 360 day year comprised of twelve (12) thirty (30) day months.

The fee shall be calculated monthly and shall be deducted from remittances made to Lender each month. Any commercial loan acquired by Lender during a calendar month shall have the service fee calculated on a pro rata basis for the actual number of days during which Principal serviced the commercial loan.

Servicing Fee, Sub Debt

Lender shall pay to Principal a Servicing Fee for each Sub Debt loan acquired and serviced on behalf of Lender by Principal pursuant to this Agreement. During all time periods that Principal, on behalf of Lender, services Sub Debt that is secured by or is directly related to Property that does not secure any commercial loan held by Lender other than debt secured by an interest in a first mortgage and serviced by Principal, the fee will equal the product of (i) the principal balance of such Sub Debt loan as of the previous month end, and (ii) twenty five (25) basis points per annum payable on a monthly basis, based on a 360 day year comprised of twelve (12) thirty (30) day months. During all time periods that Principal, on behalf of Lender, services Sub Debt that is secured by or is directly related to Property that also secures a commercial loan held by Lender and serviced by Principal, the fee will equal the product of (x) the principal balance of such Sub Debt loan as of the previous month end, and (y) fifteen (15) basis points per annum payable on a monthly basis, based on a 360 day year comprised of twelve (12) thirty (30) day months. Such Servicing Fees shall be paid to Principal on a net remit basis as set out above.

Special Servicing Fee

Upon any Investment being considered a Specially Serviced Investment as defined by the Servicing Service Level Agreement (Attachment 3), as to which Principal provides services under Section 2.03 of Attachment 3, Lender will pay Principal in lieu of the Servicing Fee, a special servicing fee (the “Special Servicing Fee”) equal to thirty (30) basis points per annum, payable on a monthly basis based on a 360 day year comprised of twelve (12) thirty (30) day months, times the then outstanding principal balance of the Investment.

-- - 29 - --

Asset Management Fee

With respect to Properties owned after a foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure Lender will pay to Principal an asset management fee (the “Asset Management Fee”) of seventy-five (75) basis points per annum, payable on a monthly basis, based on a 360 day year comprised of twelve (12) thirty (30) day months, multiplied by the fair market value of each such Property, as mutually agreed upon by Principal and Lender on a quarterly basis until such each Property is disposed of by Principal on behalf of Lender. The Asset Management Fee shall be payable in lieu of each of the Servicing Fee and the Special Servicing Fee.

Liquidation Fee

Principal shall receive a liquidation fee (the “Liquidation Fee”) equal to one hundred (100) basis points of the net sale proceeds of any foreclosed Properties or from the sale of a defaulted loan.

EXHIBIT D

INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

FOR PURPOSES OF THIS EXHIBIT, THE PHRASE "PRINCIPAL'S KNOWLEDGE" AND OTHER WORDS AND PHRASES OF LIKE IMPORT SHALL MEAN, EXCEPT WHERE OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH BELOW, THE ACTUAL STATE OF KNOWLEDGE OF PRINCIPAL REGARDING THE MATTERS REFERRED TO HEREIN.

UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN THE EXCEPTIONS TO THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES ATTACHED HERETO, PRINCIPAL HEREBY REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT, AS OF THE DATE SPECIFIED BELOW OR, IF NO SUCH DATE IS SPECIFIED, AS OF THE DATE AN INVESTMENT IS CLOSED AND FUNDED (THE "CLOSING DATE"):

1. Ownership of Investments. Immediately prior to the transfer to Lender of each Investment, Principal Life Insurance Company had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Investment, and has validly and effectively conveyed (or caused to be conveyed) to Lender or its designee all of Principal Life Insurance Company's legal and beneficial interest in and to the Investments free and clear of any and all pledges, liens, commissions, charges and security interests.

2. Payment Record. No scheduled payment of principal and interest under any Investment was 30 days or more past due as of origination of the Investment, without giving effect to any applicable grace period. There has been and there exists no material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration (a “Default”) under any note evidencing an Investment (the “Mortgage Note”), the related Mortgage and/or the other loan documents executed and delivered in connection therewith (collectively, the “Loan Documents”), and no event or condition has occurred which, with the passage of time or giving of notice, or both, would constitute a Default as of the Closing Date. Borrower is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or other Loan Documents as of the Closing Date.

3. Taxes and Assessments. As of the Closing Date, all taxes and governmental assessments which previously became due and owing with respect to each Property have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable.

4. Accuracy of Information. The specific data originated by Principal as to any particular Investment was true, complete and accurate in all material respects as of the Closing Date; and all information in the Investment File with respect to a specific Investment has been made available to Lender.

5. Due Diligence and Underwriting Requirements. The specific due diligence and underwriting requirements established by this Agreement were applied consistent with the Standard of Care or, after written notice to Lender were waived by Lender in writing.

-- 31 --

6. Lien; Valid Assignment. Based on the related lender’s title insurance policy (or, if not yet issued, a pro forma title policy or a “marked-up” commitment), the Mortgage related to and delivered in connection with each Investment constitutes a valid and, subject to the Permitted Encumbrances, enforceable first priority lien upon the related Property prior to all other liens and encumbrances, except for (a) the lien for current real estate taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters that are of public record and/or are referred to in the related lender’s title insurance policy, (c) exceptions and exclusions specifically referred to in such lender’s title insurance policy, (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject, none of which matters referred to in clauses (b), (c) or (d), individually or in the aggregate, materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, and (e) if such Investment is cross-collateralized with any other Investment, the lien of the Mortgage for such other Investment (the foregoing items (a) through (e), the “Permitted Encumbrances”). The related assignment of such Mortgage executed and delivered in favor of Lender is in recordable form and constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment, sufficient to convey to the assignee named therein all of the assignor’s right, title and interest in, to and under such Mortgage.

7. Assignment of Leases and Rents. The Mortgage includes an assignment of leases that establishes and creates a valid and, subject to the Permitted Encumbrances, enforceable first priority lien and first priority security interest in the related borrower’s interest in all leases, sub-leases, licenses or other agreements pursuant to which any person is entitled to occupy, use or possess all or any portion of the real property subject to the Mortgage.

8. Condition of Property; Condemnation. Each Property is, to Principal's knowledge based on review of third party reports, free and clear of any material damage (or adequate reserves therefore have been established) that would materially and adversely affect its value as security for the related investment. Principal has received no notice of the commencement of any proceeding for the condemnation of all or any material portion of any Property. To Principal’s knowledge (based on surveys and/or title insurance obtained in connection with the origination of the Investments), as of the date of the origination of each Investment, all of the material improvements on the related Property that were considered in determining the appraised value of the Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of such Property, except for encroachments that are insured against by the lender’s title insurance policy referred to herein or that do not materially and adversely affect the value or marketability of such Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties materially encroached upon such Property so as to materially and adversely affect the value or marketability of such Property, except those encroachments that are insured against by the lender’s title policy referred to herein.

9. Title Insurance. Each Property is covered by an American Land Title Association (or an equivalent form of) lender’s title insurance policy or a marked-up title insurance commitment (on which the required premium has been paid) which evidences such title insurance policy (the “Title Policy”), issued by a nationally recognized title insurance company, in the original principal amount of the related Investment after all advances of principal. Each Title Policy insures that the related Mortgage is a valid first priority lien on such Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances. Each Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect. Immediately following the transfer and assignment of the related Mortgage Loan to Lender, such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be

-- 32 --

issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) will inure to the benefit of Lender without the consent of or notice to the insurer. To Principal’s knowledge as of the Closing Date, the insurer issuing such Title Policy is qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Property is located.

10. Property Insurance. Each Property is insured by (a)(i) customary special form property insurance covering fire and extended perils including lightning, windstorm, hail, explosion, riot, riot attending a strike, civil commotion, aircraft, vehicles and smoke, in an amount not less than the lesser of the principal balance of the related Mortgage and the replacement cost of the Property; (ii) insurance against other risks customarily insured for, without limitation, acts of terrorism if, in the exercise of its reasonable judgment, Principal believes such coverages are commercially reasonable in terms of availability, premium, coverage and deductible; (b) to the extent leases of the Property contain provisions allowing for rental abatement as a result of casualty damage to the Property, business interruption or rental loss insurance, in an amount at least equal to six (6) months of operations of the Property; (c) flood insurance (if any portions of buildings or other structures on the Property are located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards and the Federal Emergency Management Agency requires flood insurance to be maintained); (d) a commercial general liability insurance not less than $1 million per occurrence. As evidenced by the certificate of insurance received at closing of the Investment, such insurance shall contain a standard mortgagee clause that names the mortgagee as an additional insured in the case of liability insurance policies and as a loss payee in the case of property insurance policies and requires prior notice to the holder of the Mortgage of termination or cancellation. No such notice has been received, including any notice of nonpayment of premiums, that has not been cured. Prior to each Closing Date, Principal shall have received insurance certificates from acceptable insurance companies evidencing such insurance is in full force and effect. Each Mortgage or Loan Agreement obligates the related borrower to maintain all such insurance.

11. Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. As of the Closing Date, no Mortgage, Mortgage Note or other Loan Document has been satisfied, cancelled, rescinded or subordinated in whole or in part, and the related Property has not been released from the lien of such Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any borrower been released from its obligations under its Loan Documents, in whole or in any part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission or release, in any manner that, in each case, materially adversely affects the value of the related Investment. As of the Closing Date, none of the terms of any Mortgage Note, Mortgage, Assignment of Leases or other Loan Documents has been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments, all of which are included in the related Investment File.

12. No Holdbacks. The proceeds of each Investment have been fully disbursed (except in those cases where the full amount of the Investment has been disbursed but a portion thereof is being held in escrow or reserve accounts pending the satisfaction of certain conditions relating to leasing, repairs or other matters with respect to the related Property), and there is no obligation for future advances with respect thereto.

13. Mortgage Provisions. The Mortgage Note, Mortgage and the other Loan Documents for each Investment, together with applicable state law, contain customary and

-- 33 --

enforceable provisions (subject to the Permitted Encumbrances) such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the related Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby.

14. Trustee under Deed of Trust. If any Mortgage is a deed of trust, (a) a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, is properly designated and serving under such Mortgage, and (b) no fees or expenses are payable to such trustee by Principal, Lender or any transferee thereof except in connection with a trustee's sale after default by the related borrower or in connection with any full or partial release of the related Property or related security for the related Investment.

15. Loan Document Status. As of the Closing Date, each Mortgage Note, Mortgage and other agreement that evidences or secures such Mortgage Loan was executed by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor and any guarantor and is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency or legislation), enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and to Principal’s knowledge there is no valid defense, counterclaim or right of offset or rescission available to the related Mortgagor and any guarantor with respect to such Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other agreement as of the Closing Date.

16. Compliance with Usury Laws. Based on Principal's receipt of either a usury endorsement to the related Title Policy or an attorney's opinion letter received in connection with the closing of the Investment, each Mortgage, as of the date of origination complied with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.

17. Compliance with Laws and Regulations. Based on due diligence considered reasonable by prudent commercial mortgage lenders in the lending area where the Property is located, the improvements located on or forming a part of each Property comply with all applicable zoning laws and ordinances, or constitute a legal non-conforming use or if any such improvement does not so comply, such non-compliance does not materially and adversely affect the value of the related Property, such value as determined by the appraisal performed at origination of the Investment.

18. Cross Collateralization or Cross-Default with other Investments. The Investment is not cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any other loan unless such other loan also is owned by Lender.

19. Whole Commercial Loan. Each Investment is a whole loan and not a participation or partial interest in a loan.

20. No Equity Participation or Contingent Interest. As of the Closing Date, no Mortgage contains any equity participation by the Lender or provides for negative amortization or for any contingent or additional interest in the form of participation in the cash flow of the

-- 34 --

related Property. Principal does not hold a direct equity interest in any Property underlying any Investment, except ownership via an investment in a publically-traded company (for example, money invested in a publically-traded REIT).

21. Escrow Deposits. Any escrow deposits and payments relating to each Investment that are, as of the date of origination of the Investment, required to be deposited or paid have been so deposited or paid.

22. LTV Ratio. The gross proceeds of each Mortgage Note to the related borrower at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of the Mortgage Note and was less than eighty-percent (80%) of the value of the Property based on the appraisal for the Property prepared at time of origination of the Investment.

23. Environmental Matters. An environmental site assessment, or an update of a previous such report, in each case meeting the requirements set forth in the Underwriting SLA, was performed with respect to each Property in connection with the origination of the related Mortgage Loan, a report of each such assessment (or the most recent assessment with respect to each Property) (an “Environmental Report”) has been delivered to Lender, and Principal has no knowledge of any material and adverse environmental condition or circumstance affecting any Property that was not disclosed in such report. Each Mortgage or another Loan Document in the Investment File requires the related borrower to comply with all applicable federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations and indemnify Lender with respect to liabilities arising out of environmental conditions. Where the Environmental Report disclosed the existence of a material and adverse environmental condition or circumstance affecting any Property, Principal has disclosed all material facts regarding such condition or circumstance to Lender in writing and either (i) a party not related to the borrower was identified in writing by the applicable governmental authorities as the responsible party for such condition or circumstance, (ii) environmental insurance covering such condition was obtained and must be maintained until the condition is remediated, or (iii) the related borrower was required either to provide additional security which may have included the escrow of funds that was deemed to be sufficient by Principal exercising the Standard of Care in light of the circumstances and/or to establish an operations and maintenance plan. To the extent an environmental insurance policy has been obtained with respect to the Mortgage Loan: (a) the environmental insurance policy is in full force and effect, (b) the premiums on the environmental insurance policy have been paid in full or the Loan Documents provide for payment of such premium by the borrower as the same shall become payable, and an escrow has been established therefor, and (c) the term of such policy extends at least five years beyond the maturity of the Mortgage Loan.

24. Due on Sale. Each Mortgage contains a “due on sale” clause, which provides for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage if, without prior written consent of the holder of the Mortgage, the property subject to the Mortgage or any portion thereof, or a controlling interest in the related borrower, is transferred, sold or encumbered by a junior mortgage or deed of trust; provided, however, that certain Mortgages provide a mechanism for the assumption of the loan by a third party upon the borrower’s satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, and upon payment of a transfer fee, if any, or transfer of interests in the borrower or constituent entities of the borrower to a third party or parties related to the borrower upon the borrower’s satisfaction of certain conditions precedent.

-- 35 --

25. Litigation. Based on customary due diligence, as of the Closing Date, Principal had no knowledge of any pending actions, suits, proceedings or investigations by or before any court or governmental authority against or affecting the borrower or the Property that, if determined adversely to such borrower or Property, would materially and adversely affect the value of the Property or the ability of the borrower to pay principal, interest or any other amounts due under the Mortgage.

26. Borrower’s Interest in Property. The borrower’s interest in the Property is a fee simple interest or a leasehold interest. If the related Mortgage encumbers the interest of a borrower as a lessee under a ground lease of the Property: (a) such ground lease or a memorandum thereof has been or will be duly recorded and (or the related estoppel letter or lender protection agreement between the seller and related lessor) permits the interest of the lessee thereunder to be encumbered by the related Mortgage; (b) the lessee’s interest in such ground lease is not subject to any liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the related Mortgage, other than certain permitted encumbrances; (c) the borrower’s interest in such ground lease is assignable to Lender and its successors and assigns upon notice to, but (except in the case where such consent cannot be unreasonably withheld) without the consent of the lessor thereunder (or if it is required it will have been obtained prior to the closing date); (d) such ground lease is in full force and effect and the seller has received no notice that an event of default has occurred thereunder; (e) such ground lease, or an estoppel letter related thereto, requires the lessor under such ground lease to give notice of any material default by the lessee to the holder of the Mortgage and further provides that no notice of termination given under such ground lease is effective against such holder unless a copy has been delivered to such holder; (f) the holder of the Mortgage is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under such ground lease) to cure any default under such ground lease, which is curable after the receipt of notice of any such default, before, the lessor thereunder may terminate such ground lease; and (g) such ground lease has an original term (including any extension options set forth therein) which extends not less than 10 years beyond the full amortization term of the related Mortgage Loan.

27. Borrower Bankruptcy. To Principal's knowledge, neither Borrower nor any guarantor of the Mortgage is currently a party to any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or comparable proceeding or in any proceeding seeking the appointment of a receiver, conservator, liquidating agent or similar person as of the Closing Date.

28. Advancement of Funds by Principal. As of the Closing Date, no holder of a Mortgage has advanced funds or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the related Property for the payment of any amount required by such Mortgage.

29. Releases of Mortgaged Property. As of the Closing Date, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage requires the mortgagee to release all or any portion of the related Property that was included in the appraisal for such Property, and/or generates income from the lien of the related Mortgage except upon payment in full of all amounts due under the related Mortgage or in connection with the defeasance provisions of the related Note and Mortgage, unless specifically noted to Lender.

-- 36 --

30. Single Purpose Entity. If required in the Loan Documents for a particular Investment, each borrower’s organizational documents provide that the borrower: (a) is formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning and operating the related Property, (b) may not engage in any business unrelated to the ownership and operation of the Property, (c) does not have any material assets other than those related to its interest in and operation of the Property, (d) may not incur indebtedness other than as permitted by the Mortgage or other Loan Documents, (e) has its own books and records separate and apart from any other person or entity, (f) holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity, and (g) such other separateness covenants as may be contained in the Loan Documents.

31. Inspections. Principal has inspected or caused to be inspected each Property in connection with the origination of the related Mortgage in accordance with the Standard of Care.

32. UCC Financing Statements. UCC Financing Statements have been filed and/or recorded (or, if not filed and/or recorded, have been submitted in proper form for filing and recording), in all public places necessary at the time of the origination of the Investment to perfect a security interest in all items of personal property reasonably necessary to operate the Property owned by a borrower and located on the related Property (other than any personal property subject to a purchase money security interest or a sale and leaseback financing arrangement permitted under the terms of such Investment or any other personal property leases applicable to such personal property) to the extent perfection may be effected pursuant to applicable law by recording or filing. An assignment of each such UCC Financing Statement relating to the Investment has been completed and filed or will be prepared and filed promptly following the Closing Date in each office in which such Financing Statement was filed.

33. Public Access. Each Property securing a Mortgage has at the minimum access to a satisfactory easement if not direct access to a public road.

34. Junior Liens. As of the Closing Date, none of the Mortgages permits the related Property to be encumbered by any lien junior to or of equal priority with the lien of the related Mortgage without the prior written consent of the holder thereof or the satisfaction of debt service coverage or similar criteria specified therein as specifically noted in the Loan Documents.

35. Defeasance and Assumption Costs. If the related Mortgage Loan Documents allow for defeasance, the related borrower is responsible for the payment of all costs and expenses of Lender incurred in connection with the defeasance of such Mortgage Loan and the release of the related Mortgaged Property, and the borrower is required to pay all costs and expenses of Lender associated with the approval of an assumption of such Mortgage Loan.

36. Appraisals. In connection with the origination of each Investment, Principal obtained and delivered to Lender an appraisal of each Property conforming to USPAP and FIRREA requirements and prepared in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics and Standards of Professional Practice of the Appraisal Institute by a Member of the Appraisal Institute licensed in the state in which the Property is located and otherwise meeting the requirements of the Underwriting SLA.

-- 37 --

37. Prepayment Premiums. As of the Closing Date of each such Mortgage, any prepayment premiums and yield maintenance charges payable under the terms of the Mortgage, in respect of voluntary prepayments, constituted customary prepayment premiums and yield maintenance charges for commercial mortgage loans.

38. Commercial Leases. If a Mortgage is secured by a Property that is leased to non-residential tenants, based on customary due diligence as performed by Principal in accordance with Section 2.01(a) of the Closing SLA, as of the Closing Date, such Property was not subject to any leases other than the leases described in the rent roll contained in the related Investment File (the “Leases”). If further information regarding leases is needed for purposes of securitization, Principal will provide Lender any information Principal has in its possession regarding such leases. Principal will notify Lender if Principal uses a third party to perform the due diligence as to the Leases.

Principal Real Estate Investors, LLC’s

Allocation Policies and Procedures

for

Private Commercial Real Estate Debt Investments

as of

November 19, 2008

In its normal course of business Principal Real Estate Investors, LLC (“PrinREI”) originates whole private commercial real estate debt investments that include but may not be limited to senior mortgages, construction and construction/perm loans, bridge loans, junior mortgages, mezzanine loans and preferred equity investments. PrinREI advises various clients regarding investment in these products, including both clients that are affiliated with PrinREI and clients that are not affiliated with PrinREI. In some instances conflicts may occur when a particular investment meets the stated investment parameters of more than one client and each of those clients desires the entire investment for itself. This document describes PrinREI’s policies and procedures for allocating such investments among clients.

Allocation Policies

It is PrinREI’s policy to allocate private commercial real estate debt investments it produces as follows:

1)	Fairness & equitability. The allocation process for non-participated investments shall be fair and equitable to all clients to the fullest extent possible. In particular, no client shall receive preferential treatment in the process due to its status as an affiliate or non-affiliate of PrinREI.

Familiarity with client needs & determination of eligibility. Client eligibility for any specific allocation shall be determined by the portfolio manager assigned responsibility for said client’s account and by the investment allocator (a designated member of the portfolio management team), taking into consideration (i) the specific investment criteria established by said client, (ii) the return requirements established most recently by said client, and (iii) whether said client has remaining investment need at least equal to the investment size. Each portfolio manager will serve as an advocate for his or her client(s) in the allocation process, except that the allocator shall serve a client-neutral role specifically regarding his or her duties as allocator.

3)	Rotational queuing system.

For each instance in which only one PrinREI client is eligible to receive the allocation of a specific investment in its entirety, that client shall be allocated said investment.

-- 40 --

For each instance in which multiple PrinREI clients are eligible to receive the allocation of a specific investment in its entirety, said investment shall be allocated to one client based on the status of a rotational queue as described in the attached exhibit.

For each instance in which no PrinREI clients are eligible to receive the allocation of a specific investment in its entirety, PrinREI may allocate said investment in parts to more than one client provided each of those clients expresses a willingness to share in said investment with the other(s). Due to the complexities of such transactions and differing relationships among clients PrinREI may make such allocations without regard to any client’s then-current status in a rotational queue for whole investments.

When a client first enters the rotational queue their entry into the queue will be treated as a “win” against all other clients currently in the queue for purposes of the match-ups described in the exhibit, effectively starting that client at the bottom of queue.

4)	Special cases / exceptions.

Clients who do not provide PrinREI discretion to select specific investments on their behalf may receive allocations outside the rotational queuing system, provided such allocations do not directly impair the ability of PrinREI to fulfill prior investment mandates for clients in the queue.

Investments that represent additional debt for a property in which another PrinREI client has already invested will be offered only to that client unless that client has specifically approved investment by another client.

Extensions in the term of financing already held by a PrinREI client will be offered first to that client.

Financing secured by a property owned or controlled by PrinREI and/or its affiliates may be placed with a lender outside the scope of this policy.

Investments formally referred to PrinREI by a client will be offered first to that client.

Record keeping & access to records. PrinREI shall maintain detailed records regarding the allocation of each new commercial real estate debt investment and the client(s) to which each investment was allocated. At the conclusion of each client’s fiscal year, if a client has requested commercial real estate debt investments from PrinREI during that fiscal year and requests a review of PrinREI’s allocations made to them during that fiscal year, PrinREI shall provide said client a summary of allocations received and lost. Such summary shall include only those investments for which said client was eligible, and shall not include the specific identity of the client(s) that received the actual allocations. However, such summary shall be presented in a way that illustrates how the queue mechanism was implemented for the client.

-- 41 --

6)	Notice of changes. PrinREI will provide notice of any material modification to these policies and procedures to any client who has requested that such notices be provided.

7)	Interpretation & implementation. PrinREI retains full authority to interpret and implement these policies and procedures in its sole and absolute discretion.

Limitations. Nothing contained herein shall serve to create a legal claim by any client to any investment generated by PrinREI, nor shall it bind PrinREI from making or entering into any other agreement with any party for any purpose. PrinREI reserves the right to amend these policies and procedures at any time.

Allocation Procedures

Prior to the allocation of each new investment notice shall be provided to all the portfolio managers whose clients have investment management agreements with PrinREI requesting investments of the given product type. Said notice may be provided by electronic mail automatically generated by PrinREI’s investment pipeline application.

Allocation of an investment shall typically occur upon PrinREI’s receipt of a signed application or similar agreement along with any required fees and deposits for a specific transaction. However, allocation may occur sooner (pre-allocation) upon determination by PrinREI that such pre-allocation is necessary or desirable to effect the transaction (such as when loan application language must be differentiated for one client versus another, or when specific pre-approval of an investment by a client is required).

The allocator shall make allocations (or pre-allocations as contemplated above) in accordance with the policies stated above after consulting as needed with the affected portfolio managers. Said allocations shall be entered into PrinREI’s allocation history, impacting the queue for future allocations.

4)	Notice of the allocation shall be delivered to the impacted portfolio manager(s), with the portfolio manager then notifying his or her client of any investment they have been allocated.

The allocator may make corrections to allocations that were completed in error, provided such changes were made in a timely manner and have not yet impacted the allocation of any other investments. Other changes impacting the allocation queue shall not be made, however, including any adjustment based on the failure of a client to accept an allocation meeting its most recent written investment guidelines (in which case the investment may be reallocated) or the failure of an investment to close.

EXHIBIT TO EXHIBIT F

Summary of Queue Logic for Allocation System

1.	The allocator and portfolio managers examine a transaction’s attributes to determine its eligibility for various clients’ lending programs.

2.	In the allocation system the allocator selects all clients for which the transaction meets investment guidelines.

3.	The system awards points to eligible clients as follows:

The number of points to be awarded equals (n-1)!, where n equals the number of clients eligible to be allocated the loan. For example, if three clients are eligible to receive a specific allocation, the number of points to be awarded equals 2 + 1, or 3. If four clients are eligible to receive the allocation, the number of points to be awarded equals 3 + 2 + 1, or 6. If five clients are eligible to receive the allocation, the number of points to be awarded equals 4 + 3 + 2 + 1, or 10.

Each point is awarded to a client based on the most recent prior allocation competition in which one client competed with a second client and either of those clients was awarded the allocation. A point equates to a credit for having lost that past allocation competition. For example, if clients A and B compete today for a new loan allocation, and during their most recent competition for another loan client A received the allocation instead of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇, then for the new allocation competition ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇ receives one point.

The system examines each combination of “match-ups” between pairs of eligible clients to determine which client will receive the point for that competition. For example, if clients A, B and C are each eligible to receive a new allocation, the system will award one point based on the last competition between A and B, another point for the last competition between B and C, and another point for the last competition between C and A. Only competitions in which one of the two competing clients won the allocation in question are considered.

4.	The new allocation is awarded to the client that receives the most points. In instances when two or more clients tie for the most points, the loan is awarded to the client among them that received its most recent allocation longest ago.

Principal shall specially service any designated Specially Serviced Investment in accordance with the approved Special Servicing Plan and Special Servicing Budget as described below, and Principal shall be compensated for such Special Servicing as set out in Exhibit C-2 to the MOSA. Lender shall approve or disapprove such Special Servicing Plan within five (5) business days following submittal of the Special Servicing Plan to Lender, provided that a failure of Lender to respond to the submitted Special Servicing Plan within said five day time period shall be deemed approval of the Special Servicing Plan. With respect to any approval, Principal shall have the right to rely on the previously approved Special Servicing Plan and Budget, provided that Lender shall have the right to require changes to such Special Servicing Budget at any time thereafter.

As Special Servicer, Principal shall:

(a) maintain appropriate delinquency controls including issuing default notices to the borrower;

(b) coordinate with Lender’s counsel, in-house and local counsel when working on Specially Serviced Investments;

(d) communicate with the borrower or its representative regarding all defaults, as appropriate;

(f) coordinate documentation and implementation of any Specially Serviced Investment work-out and negotiate any and all contracts necessary or desirable and/or appropriate for the workout and management of the Property; provided, however, without

-- 62 --

(a) In the event of a proposed foreclosure of any Property associated with any Investment, Principal shall submit to Lender or a designated entity holding title to such Investment the Special Servicing Plan, (i) describing the Investment and the Property securing the Investment, (ii) explaining Principal’s basis for recommending foreclosure, and (iii) containing a proposed operating plan which shall include a proposed budget detailing all estimated costs to be incurred with respect to the foreclosure and during the period of holding such Property following such foreclosure (a “Special Servicing Budget”). Principal shall execute any such foreclosure only in accordance with the approved Special Servicing Plan.

(b) With respect to any approved foreclosure, Principal, on behalf of Lender, may engage at the expense of Lender (but only in accordance with the approved Special Servicing Plan) and shall supervise any affiliated or unaffiliated third parties that Principal engages to perform services necessary or appropriate for the management, operation, leasing and disposition of such Investment, including the services of investment principals, leasing agents, construction principals, contractors, custodians, transfer agents, independent real estate appraisers, accountants, attorneys, engineers, environmental consultants and other consultants and service providers of whatever nature to assist Principal as it shall reasonably see fit in the performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement.

(a) From time to time, depending upon market conditions, economic forecasts, and other relevant factors and consistent with the Investment Criteria, Principal may

-- 63 --

recommend the disposition of one or more Investments (or portions of any such Investment). If Principal determines that a disposition is desirable, Principal will submit to Lender for consideration by it a proposal for the sale of such Investment, including, without limitation, a summary of the proposed terms of such disposition and the basis for Principal’s recommendation of such disposition in the Special Servicing Plan. Lender’s prior written approval of the Special Servicing Plan shall be required for Principal to move forward with the disposition of any Investment or portion thereof. Principal shall also seek to dispose of an Investment (or portion thereof) upon the request of Lender holding title to such Investment in accordance with the terms and conditions required by Lender. Principal shall have no authority to dispose of any portion of any Investment without the prior written approval of a Special Servicing Plan or such request of Lender.

(b) Principal shall be authorized to take all action reasonably necessary to complete any permitted or requested disposition of an Investment within the parameters of the approved Special Servicing Plan, including (directly or indirectly through licensed brokers or other independent contractors) (i) conducting a search for and identifying a potential buyer or buyers, (ii) structuring the disposition and (iii) preparing and negotiating a purchase and sale agreement and such other documents, instruments and certificates for the conveyance and transfer of title as may be customary or otherwise required.

2.06. Other Servicing Activities. Principal shall perform or shall cause its affiliate(s) to perform such other customary duties, furnish such reports and prepare other documents in connection with its duties as servicer under the Agreement.

2.07. Advances. Principal shall notify Lender if funds are needed to advance for items including, but not limited to, real estate taxes, insurance premiums, and protective advances.

ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT

ARTICLE 1. BACKGROUND.

1.04. Objective. Lender and Principal have entered into a Mortgage Origination and Servicing Agreement of even date (the “Agreement” or “MOSA”), pursuant to which Principal has agreed to perform certain services relating to the origination, closing and servicing of commercial mortgage loans and Sub Debt loans (collectively referenced herein as “Investment” or “Investments”). This Accounting and Reporting SLA provides a detailed description of the accounting and reporting services to be provided by Principal relating to the servicing of the Investments pursuant to the terms of the Servicing Service Level Agreement. Terms used by not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Agreement.

ARTICLE 2. ACCOUNTS.

2.01. Segregation and Deposit of Funds.

(a) Interest/Principal Payments. Principal shall instruct all borrowers with respect to all Investments to make all payments of principal and interest and any other payments related to the Investments to an account established by Principal for the benefit of Lender (the “Collection Account”). Lender can request a change of financial institutions where the Collection Account is held but Lender and Principal must mutually agree on any such change. Principal shall be entitled to all interest earned on funds in the Collection Account. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.01 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Principal or any affiliate shall not intentionally commingle with its proprietary account any payments and funds received with respect to Investments serviced pursuant to this Agreement as to any funds that any borrower submits directly to Principal or payable to Principal's order, and in such event Principal shall not allow such funds to be commingled for a period not to exceed two (2) business days.

(b) Escrow Accounts. Principal shall cause all payments and funds received pursuant to any Investment on account of real estate tax escrows, insurance premiums, assessments or similar escrowed amounts to be segregated and held in one or more impound accounts separate from any of its own funds and from those of other investors, and shall keep a complete account of all such funds. Lender can request a change of financial institution where such impound accounts are held but Lender and Principal must mutually agree on any such change. With respect to any Loan Document which provides for disbursement by Lender of escrowed funds to pay real property taxes, assessments, any obligation secured by a lien, insurance premiums or other charges or which provides for other disbursements from any escrow, Principal shall cause the proper party to be paid from the funds deposited, funds necessary to satisfy such obligations when due. Any interest or other income generated by such funds and not payable to a borrower pursuant

-- 65 --

to the Loan Documents shall be retained by Principal. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.01 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Principal or any affiliate shall not intentionally commingle with its proprietary account any payments and funds received with respect to Investments serviced pursuant to this Agreement as to any funds that any borrower submits directly to Principal or payable to Principal's order, and in such event Principal shall not allow such funds to be commingled for a period not to exceed two (2) business days. Principal will initially segregate tax and other escrow funds as received from borrowers but once Principal has granted approval to a third party vendor for payment of the real estate taxes, the funds can be remitted to a commingled clearing account that will allow payment to be paid by such third party vendor.

2.02. Remittance of Cash. Funds from Investment payments from or on behalf of borrowers shall be remitted to Lender on the fifteenth (15^th) day of each month or the next business day if the 15^th day of the month is not a business day. Principal will provide details regarding the funds to be sent Lender on the day on which the funds are remitted to Lender. Applicable servicing fees shall be handled as set forth in Exhibit C to the Agreement. Should any funds remitted by Principal to Lender become NSF, Lender shall return such funds to Principal within two (2) business days after Principal provides notice to Lender of such NSF funds.

2.03. Bank Statements. Principal shall require the applicable depository institution at which the Collection Account and the impound account are maintained to provide to Lender regular bank statements concerning any account maintained with respect to any Investment.

2.04. Amortization. Principal will provide an amortization schedule to Lender for each Investment originated pursuant to the Agreement with the first remittance of funds to Lender.
