sentence thereof.

(e) Section 3.2(b)(v) of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety
and the following is inserted in lieu thereof:

expenses for the Properties to be paid exclusively from the Qualified Operating
Account, accounts that sweep on a daily basis into the Qualified Operating
Account and accounts established pursuant to the Encumbered Property Debt

Distribution was made (as a result of such overhead being less than the amount
budgeted therefor), Borrower shall cause such excess to be promptly returned to
the Qualified Operating Account. Borrower shall deliver to Lender each month the
monthly bank statement related to the Qualified Operating Account.

(b) Within 10 days after receipt of a written request from Lender and Junior
Mezzanine Lender, Borrower shall use its good faith commercially reasonable

Account is held to promptly enter into such an agreement, Borrower shall replace

account shall be deemed to be the “Qualified Operating Account for all purposes
hereunder).”

following immediately after clause (iv) thereof:

“Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.14, from
and after the first day of the Extension Term, without further request from
Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender the monthly reports described in this
Section 5.14 for each month until the Indebtedness has been repaid in full. All
such reports shall include, in addition to the information described above,
monthly cash flow statements tied to bank statements, including a reconciliation
of beginning cash balances to ending cash balances (including, without

Permitted Distributions and such other items as Lender shall reasonably
request).”

following immediately after the last sentence thereof:

shall not permit any funds constituting Distributions to be swept through, or
concentrated in, any account other than the Qualified Operating Account,
accounts that sweep on a daily basis into the Qualified Operating Account and
accounts established pursuant to the Encumbered Property Debt Documents, prior
to such funds being remitted to the Cash Management Account in accordance with
this Section 5.23.”

(i) The following Section 5.25 is hereby inserted immediately following
Section 5.24 of the Loan Agreement:

“5.25. Business Plan. Within 90 days after the first day of the Extension Term,
Borrower shall deliver to Lender a comprehensive long-term business plan and
restructuring proposal addressing repayment of the Loan, in each case, in a
format, and containing a level of detail, reasonably acceptable to Lender. Such
comprehensive long-term business plan and restructuring proposal shall include,
without limitation, (i) income statements, balance sheets and cash flow
statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, both on a consolidated basis (i,e.,
GKK as a whole) and on a consolidating basis (i.e., the GKK finance business
versus the GKK real estate business), (ii) individual Property-level
projections, projected rent rolls and such other projections as Lender shall
reasonably request, (iii) a detailed narrative as to all material operating,
balance sheet and financing assumptions and (iv) such other reports and
components as

Lender shall reasonably request. To the extent applicable, the foregoing shall
be presented on a monthly basis for the first 12 months of the period covered by
such plans and on an annual basis for the remainder of the period covered by
such plans.”

Section 2. Conditions Precedent. Contemporaneously with the execution and

dealing from or on behalf of Lender shall constitute any waiver, agreement,
commitment, or evidence of any assurance or intention of Lender with respect to
the Loan, the Loan Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents, and that any
waiver, agreement, commitment, assurance, or intention of Lender with respect to
the Loan, the Loan Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents shall be effective

counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of
