October 15, 2009:

     

    (a)           Borrower
shall have executed and delivered this CIT to Bank;

     

    (b)           Borrower
shall have provided to Bank a copy of resolutions of the Board of Directors of
Borrower in form and substance satisfactory to Bank in its sole and absolute
discretion authorizing the execution, delivery, and performance of this CIT,
which shall have been certified by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of
Borrower as of the date of delivery as being complete, accurate, and in
effect.

     

    (c)           Borrower
shall have caused Mission West Properties, L.P. II, a Delaware limited
partnership (“MWP LP II”) to have duly executed, acknowledged and delivered to
Bank (i) an Agreement Not to Convey or Encumber (the “Agreement Not to
Encumber”) and (ii) an Accommodation Deed of Trust - Variable Interest Rate –
Revolving Line of Credit (the “Deed of Trust”), with respect to that certain
real property owned by MWP LP II and located at 1600 Memorex Drive and 1688
– 1700 Richard Avenue, Santa Clara, California (the “Property”), both of which
shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Bank in its sole and absolute
discretion;

     

    (d)           Borrower
shall have caused MWP LP II to have provided to Bank a copy of a resolutions of
the general partner of MWP LP II in form satisfactory to the Bank in its sole
and absolute discretion authorizing the execution, delivery, and performance of
the Agreement Not to Encumber and the Deed of Trust.

     

    (e)           Borrower
shall have caused MWP LP II to procure and deliver to Bank and thereafter
maintain a policy or policies of insurance in form and content and by an insurer
or insurers satisfactory to Bank, naming Bank as Loss Payee, Mortgagee or
Additional Insured (as applicable), including a clause giving Bank a minimum of
thirty (30) days’ notice if such insurance is cancelled, as
follows:  (i) builder’s “all risk” insurance in non-reporting form, in
an amount not less than the full insurable completed value of the improvements
located on the Property on a replacement cost basis, with the normal conditions
including fire, extended coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief, course of
construction endorsement and a lender’s loss payable endorsement naming Bank as
loss payee; (ii) commercial general liability insurance on an “occurrence”
basis, indicating coverage satisfactory to Bank, and naming Bank as an
additional insured; (iii) workers’ compensation insurance, issued to MWP LP II,
as may be required by applicable workers’ compensation insurance laws; (iv) any
additional or different coverage as may be specified in Bank’s Agreement to
Provide 

     

    
      
        
           


        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
           


        

      

    

     

    Insurance; and (v) any and
all additional insurance that Bank in its reasonable judgment may from time to

any prior liens on the Property securing the loan, up to the maximum policy

by Lender, and to maintain such insurance for the term of the

Bank’s request, Borrower shall supply Bank with a counterpart original of any
policy.

Dollars ($16,500.00) in order to bring its currently due Minimum Annual Fee to

shall be due on September 15, 2010.)

     

    8.           Agreement Not to Encumber
and Deed of Trust; Substitution of Collateral.

     

    (a)           Bank

Official Records, Office of the County Recorder of Santa Clara County, State of
California (“Official Records”) on or promptly following the Effective Date, and
(ii) Bank shall not record the Deed of Trust in the Official Records unless and
until the occurrence of an Event of Default.

     

    (b)           Upon

with creditor’s rights exclusion deleted 1970 or its equivalent with a liability
limit of not less than the face amount of the Note, issued by First American
Title Insurance Company (or such other title insurer acceptable to Bank),
insuring Bank’s interest under the Deed of Trust as a valid first lien on the
Property, together with such reinsurance or coinsurance agreements or
endorsements to said policy as Bank may require, with exceptions other than
Permitted Exceptions.

     

    (d)           If

the recordation of the Deed of Trust, or within a reasonable time thereafter,
Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause (or shall cause MWP
LP II to cause) each of the Existing Tenants (and/or any replacement tenant for
an Existing Tenant and any new tenants of the Property) to deliver to Bank an
estoppel certificate and a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment
agreement in form and substance acceptable to Bank.

     

    (e)           Provided
no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall have the
right to substitute a different property (the “Substitute Property”) for the
Property, subject to satisfaction of each of the following terms and
conditions:

     

    (i)           Borrower
shall submit to Bank a written request for consent to the proposed substitution
of collateral (the “Substitution Request”), together with all documentation
reasonably required for Bank to make the determinations set forth in subsection
(ii) below not later than sixty (60) days prior to the date of the proposed
Substitution.  Upon receipt of the Substitution Request and all items
required in this Section 8(e), Bank shall submit the Substitution Request for
internal approval.

     

    (ii)           The
Substitute Property shall be satisfactory to Bank in its reasonable discretion
(unless otherwise specifically specified), including without

Substitute Property shall have an appraised value (which shall be determined by

loan-to-value ratio of no greater than sixty percent (60%).  Such
appraisal shall be at Borrower’s expense and conducted in a manner consistent
with Bank’s then-current underwriting practices, using a method which (1)
conforms to then-current regulatory requirements, (2) is determined by Bank to
be reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances, and (3) takes into
account then-current market conditions, including vacancy factors, estimated
date of stabilization, rental rates and concessions, all as determined by
Bank.  Bank shall have received from Borrower such statements of
income and expenses, certified rent rolls and such other documents as requested
by Bank to conduct such appraisal.

     

    (B)           Unless
otherwise agreed by Bank, the Substitute Property shall be similar to, but of no
less quality than, the Property with respect to (a) amount and stability of cash
flow from the property, (b) tenants’ credit, quality and 


    
      
         


      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    

     

    uses of the
property, and diversification of the tenants, and (c) the property’s age, size,
building construction design and quality, and level of improvements, all as
determined by Bank in its reasonable discretion.

     

    (C)           The
property type and submarket location of the Substitute Property shall be
satisfactory to Bank in its sole and absolute discretion.

     

    (iii)           The
Substitute Property shall not be subject to any liens or encumbrances and the
condition of title to the Substitute Property (including without limitation the
existence of any easements or other rights necessary for the use or operation of
the Substitute Property) shall be acceptable to Bank in its sole and absolute
discretion.

     

    (iv)           The
Substitute Property shall be a separate legally subdivided parcel or parcels and
be taxed as a separate tax parcel or parcels.

     

    (v)           If
Bank approves the Substitution Request, then Borrower shall (or shall cause the
fee owner of the Substitute Property to): (A) duly execute, acknowledge and
deliver to Bank a deed of trust in the same form and substance as the Deed of
Trust, encumbering the Substitute Property, and Bank shall return the original
Deed of Trust to Borrower; (b) duly execute, acknowledge and delivered to Bank
an Agreement Not to Convey or Encumber describing the Substitute Property in the
same form and substance as the Agreement Not to Encumber, and Bank shall,
concurrently with the recordation thereof, release or terminate the Agreement
Not to Encumber describing the Property; and (C) upon the delivery to Bank of
such documents, all references in this CIT to the Property, the Deed of Trust
and/or the Agreement Not to Encumber shall mean and refer to the Substitute
Property and the Deed of Trust and the Agreement Not to Encumber describing the
Substitute Property.

     

    (vi)           Borrower
shall pay all of Bank’s expenses in connection with the collateral substitution,
including without limitation, the fees and costs of all appraisers, attorneys,
engineers, architects and surveyors, and all escrow fees and recording charges
incurred by Bank in connection with such collateral substitution.

     

    9.           Legal
Effect.  Except as specifically provided herein, all of the
terms and conditions of the Loan Documents remain in full force and
effect.

     

    10.         Integration.  This
CIT is an integrated agreement.  Except as specifically set forth
herein, and except for the Loan Documents as modified hereby, it supersedes all
prior representations and agreements, if any, between the parties to this
