authorize Lender to file such UCC financing statements (each, a “UCC-1 Financing
Statement”) as Lender determines are advisable or necessary to perfect or
notify third parties of the security interests intended to be created by the
Loan Documents.  The foregoing authorization includes Borrowers’

LOAN
STRUCTURE PROVISIONS.






5.1  Cross-Default
and Cross-Collateralization.




In
consideration of the benefits to Borrowers from the Loan, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Borrowers agree as
follows:




(a)  The
occurrence of any Security Instrument Default shall be an Event of Default under
this Agreement.


17


(b)  Each
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that because each of the Security Instruments
secures the entire Loan and a Security Instrument Default with respect to any
Facility will be an Event of Default under this Agreement, each Borrower has a
direct and material interest in preventing the occurrence of an Event of
Default. Accordingly each Borrower is willing to commit to make or receive loans
(each an "Intra-Party
Loan" and collectively, the "Intra-Party
Loans") in order to provide for the payment of all amounts due under the
Loan Documents and, in so doing, to avoid an Event of Default hereunder.
Borrowers each acknowledge and agree that Lender is an intended third party
beneficiary of Borrowers' obligations hereunder.  If and to the extent
that net revenues from any Facility (herein, a “Contributing
Facility”) are applied to make payments on the Loan in excess of the
payments due on the Allocated Loan Amount with respect to the Contributing
Facility, the Borrower who owns the Contributing Facility shall be deemed to
have made an Intra-Party Loan to the other Borrowers (proportionate to their
respective Allocated Loan Amounts) in the amount of such proceeds so
applied.




(c)  All
Intra-Party Loans deemed to be made under this Agreement shall be evidenced by
this Agreement, shall be an obligation of the party which owes such Intra-Party
Loan to the party making same solely by its execution of this Agreement, shall
not be evidenced by any separate instrument and, notwithstanding anything
contained herein or in the other Loan Documents to the contrary, shall not be
prohibited hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents.  Each
Borrower waives presentment, notice of dishonor, protest and notice of
non-payment or non-performance with respect to each Intra-Party Loan for which
it is liable under this Agreement.  Intra-Party Loans shall be subject
and subordinate in all cases to the terms, conditions and liens of the Loan
Documents, and revenues from the other Facilities shall be the sole and
exclusive source of payment of any Intra-Party Loan.  Intra-Party
Loans may be repaid in whole or in part provided there is then no Default or
Event of Default and no Default or Event of Default would result from such
repayment.




5.2  Loan
Structure.




Each
Borrower acknowledges that (i) the Loan is evidenced by and made pursuant to the
Note and that the Note shall be secured by the Security Instruments; (ii) the
Note provides for joint and several liability of each Borrower; (iii) any
nonpayment of principal or interest, whether or not resulting from one
Borrower’s failure to pay any portion of the Note or any installment of
principal or interest due thereunder as may be agreed among Borrowers to be
payable by another one or more of the Borrowers, may result in an Event of
Default under the Loan Documents and acceleration of the Loan; (iv) in that
event, all proceeds of the foreclosure sale of each Borrower’s Facility may be
applied to satisfy the Note; and (v) such foreclosure sale proceeds may be
applied to satisfy the Note even if the value of such Borrower’s Facility is
greater than the Loan Amount allocable to such Facility as agreed among the
Borrowers hereunder.




5.3  Certain
Consequences of Loan Structure.




Each
Borrower has been informed and understands that the consequence of becoming
obligated under the Security Instruments is that each Borrower’s Facility is
being encumbered as collateral for the entire Loan without any specific
agreed-upon reconveyance price, and that even upon prepayment in part of the
Loan allocated among the Borrowers to a particular


18


Facility,
that Facility owned by a particular Borrower will not necessarily be reconveyed
if the Loan remains outstanding.  Each Borrower further understands
and has been informed that if an Event of Default occurs under the Loan
Documents, all Borrowers must act together for purposes of curing such Event of
Default, and that the failure to do so could result in the foreclosure and sale,
and ultimate loss, of each Borrower’s respective Facility.




5.4  Allocation
and Distribution of Loan Proceeds.




Borrowers
have agreed that the Loan proceeds shall be allocated among the Facilities in
accordance with Section4.3
above.  Each Borrower agrees that it shall jointly and severally
reimburse and indemnify each other Borrower (each, an “Indemnitee”) for any losses suffered or
paid by the Indemnitee (including payments of the Loan and the loss of the
Indemnitee’s’ Facility or Facilities as a result of the exercise of the remedies
under the Loan Documents) because (i) such Borrower fails to make its
allocated share of payments under the Loan (based on the Allocated Loan Amounts
for which the respective Borrowers are liable, as agreed among themselves, as
set forth in Section4.3 above), or
(ii) at the time of foreclosure or transfer by deed in lieu of foreclosure,
the actual value of such Borrower’s Facility or Facilities has declined
proportionately more (based on the percentages reflected by such pro rata share)
than the Indemnitee’s Facility or Facilities since the date of this
Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the other
Loan Documents to the contrary, any such payment shall not be prohibited
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents.




5.5  Representations
Regarding Loan Structure and Terms.




Each
Borrower represents and warrants to Lender as follows:




(a)  The Loan
has been structured as one loan to Borrowers in the aggregate rather than as a
number of smaller loans to each Borrower at the request of
Borrowers.




(b)  The
interest rates and repayment terms of the Loan are more favorable than those
that each individual Borrower could have obtained on its own without such
“pooling” of the Facilities as security for the Loan, and without the
cross-collateralization, cross-default, and joint and several liability features
of the Loan Documents.




(c)  The
structure of the Loan has been devised in order to accommodate Borrower’s
existing operational structure in order to best serve Borrowers’ collective
interests, and to enable Lender to assign a collective value to the Facilities
in an amount greater than they otherwise would have if each Facility had been
separately financed.




5.6  Representations
Regarding Borrowers’ Solvency.




Borrowers
represent and warrant to Lender as follows:




(a)  The
application of the Loan proceeds constitutes reasonably equivalent value in
exchange for all of the transfers for security made and obligations incurred by
each Borrower under the Loan Documents.




(b)  No
Security Instrument is being executed by any Borrower for or on account of any
antecedent debt owed by any Borrower to any Lender.


19


(c)  No
Borrower is insolvent as of the date hereof.




(d)  The
execution, delivery and, where applicable, the recordation or filing of the
Security Instruments is intended by Borrowers and Lender to be a contemporaneous
exchange for new value given to Borrowers and shall in fact be a substantially
contemporaneous exchange.




(e)  The
transfers for security made and obligations incurred by Borrowers under the Loan
Documents are not made with actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any
entity to which any Borrower was, is, or subsequently becomes
indebted.




(f)  No
Borrower is or shall be insolvent (as defined above) on the date that any
transfer is to be made or obligation to be incurred under the terms of the Loan
Documents, nor shall any Borrower become insolvent as a result of such transfer
or obligation.




(g)  No
Borrower is engaged in business or a transaction, or is about to engage in
business or a transaction, for which any property remaining with such Borrower
is an unreasonably small amount of capital in relation to such business or
transaction.




(h)  No
Borrower intends to incur, or believes that it will incur, debts that would be
beyond such Borrowers ability to pay as such debts mature.




5.7  Indemnity.




Borrowers,
severally and jointly, shall hold harmless, protect, indemnify and defend Lender
against any losses suffered or incurred by Lender in the event any warranty or
representation by any Borrower in this Article 5 is false or
misleading, or contains a statement of fact, which if not accurate, would make
such warranty or representation false or misleading.




ARTICLE

INTEREST






6.1  Interest
Rate.




(a)  The Loan
will bear interest at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate which will be the Applicable Rate
hereunder, unless the Default Rate is applicable.  Adjustments in the
Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall occur on the first day of each calendar month
throughout the term.




(b)  If Lender
determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrowers,
absent manifest error) (i) that no adequate basis exists for determining the
LIBOR Rate, or (ii) that, due to circumstances affecting the London interbank
market generally, the LIBOR Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost
to Lender of funding the Loan, or (iii) that any applicable Law or regulation or
compliance therewith by Lender prohibits or restricts or makes impossible the
charging of interest based on the LIBOR Rate, or (iv) that the Adjusted LIBOR
Rate would be in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower may by law
pay and Lender so notifies Borrowers in writing, then until Lender notifies
Borrowers in writing that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no
longer exist, interest shall accrue and be payable at the Adjusted Prime
Rate.


20


(c)  Interest
at the Applicable Rate (whether the Adjusted LIBOR Rate or Default Rate, as
applicable) shall be calculated for the actual number of days elapsed on the
basis of a 360-day year, including the first date of the applicable period to,
but not including, the date of repayment.




6.2  Interest
Rate Agreements.




(a)  If
Borrowers institute an interest rate hedging program through the purchase of an
interest rate swap, cap or such other interest rate protection product (“Interest Rate
Protection Product”) from Lender or any Affiliate of Lender, Borrowers
shall enter into such party’s customary form of agreement (“Interest Rate
Agreement”) relating to such Interest Rate Protection
Product.  Any indebtedness incurred pursuant to an Interest Rate
Agreement entered into by Borrowers and Lender shall constitute indebtedness
evidenced by the Note and secured by the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents
to the same extent and effect as if the terms and provisions of such Interest
Rate Agreement were set forth herein, whether or not the aggregate of such
indebtedness, together with the disbursements made by Lender of the proceeds of
the Loan, shall exceed the face amount of the Note.




(b)  Borrowers
hereby collaterally assign to Lender any and all Interest Rate Protection
Products purchased or to be purchased by Borrowers in connection with the Loan,
as additional security for the Loan, and agree to provide Lender with any
additional documentation requested by Lender in order to confirm or perfect such
security interest during the term of the Loan.  If Borrowers obtain an
Interest Rate Protection Product from a party other than Lender, Borrowers shall
deliver to Lender such third party’s consent to such collateral
assignment.  No Interest Rate Protection Product purchased from a
third party may be secured by an interest in any Borrower or the
Facilities.

COSTS
OF MAINTAINING LOAN






7.1  Increased
Costs and Capital Adequacy.




(a)  Borrowers
recognize that the cost to Lender of maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof
may fluctuate and, Borrowers agree to pay Lender additional amounts to
compensate Lender for any increase in its actual costs incurred in maintaining
the Loan or any portion thereof outstanding or for the reduction of any amounts
received or receivable from Borrowers as a result of:




(i)  any
change after the date hereof in any applicable Law, regulation or treaty, or in
the interpretation or administration thereof, or by any domestic or foreign
court, (A) changing the basis of taxation of payments under this Agreement to
Lender (other than taxes imposed on all or any portion of the overall net income
or receipts of Lender), or (B) imposing, modifying or applying any reserve,
special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for
the account of, credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds for loans
by Lender (which includes the Loan or any applicable portion thereof), or
(C) imposing on Lender, or the London interbank market generally, any other
condition affecting the Loan, provided that the result of the foregoing is to
increase the cost to Lender of maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof or to
reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable from Borrowers by Lender
under the Loan Documents; or


21


(ii)  the
maintenance by Lender of reserves in accordance with reserve requirements
promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the
United States with respect to “Eurocurrency Liabilities” of a similar term to
that of the applicable portion of the Loan (without duplication for reserves
already accounted for in the calculation of a LIBOR Rate pursuant to the terms
hereof).




(b)  If the
application of any Law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted or arising out of
the July, 1988 report of the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and
Supervisory Practices entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurement
and Capital Standards”, or the adoption after the date hereof of any other Law,
rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change after
the date hereof in any of the foregoing, or in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any domestic or foreign Governmental Authority,
central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by Lender, with any request or directive
regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
authority, central bank or comparable agency, has the effect of reducing the
rate of return on such Lender’s capital to a level below that which such Lender
would have achieved but for such application, adoption, change or compliance
(taking into consideration the policies of such Lender with respect to capital
adequacy), then, from time to time Borrower shall pay to such Lender such
additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction with
respect to any portion of the Loan outstanding.




(c)  Any
amount payable by Borrowers under Section7.1(a) or (b) shall be
paid within five (5) days of receipt by Borrowers of a certificate signed by an
authorized officer of Lender setting forth the amount due and the basis for the
determination of such amount, which statement shall be conclusive and binding
upon Borrowers, absent manifest error.  Failure on the part of Lender
to demand payment from Borrowers for any such amount attributable to any
particular period shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to demand
payment of such amount for any subsequent or prior period.  Lender
shall use reasonable efforts to deliver to Borrowers prompt notice of any event
described in Section7.1(a) or (b) of the
amount of the reserve and capital adequacy payments resulting therefrom and the
reasons therefor and of the basis of calculation of such amount; provided,
however, that any failure by Lender to so notify Borrowers shall not affect
Borrowers’ obligation to pay the reserve and capital adequacy payment resulting
therefrom.




7.2  Borrower
Withholding.




If by
reason of a change in any applicable Laws occurring after the date hereof, any
Borrower is required by Law to make any deduction or withholding in respect of
any taxes (other than taxes imposed on or measured by the net income of Lender
or any franchise tax imposed on Lender), duties or other charges from any
payment due under the Note to the maximum extent permitted by law, the sum due
from Borrowers in respect of such payment shall be increased to the extent
necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding,
Lender receives and retains a net sum equal to the sum which it would have
received had no such deduction or withholding been required to be
made.

10.3  Payment
of Taxes.




Borrowers
shall pay or cause to be paid all real estate taxes and assessments and charges
of every kind upon the Facilities before the same become delinquent; provided,
however, that Borrower shall have the right to pay such tax under protest or to
otherwise contest in good faith any such tax or assessment, but only if (i) such
contest has the effect of preventing the collection of such taxes so contested
and also of preventing the sale or forfeiture of a Facility or any part thereof
or any interest therein, (ii) Borrower has notified Lender of Borrower’s intent
to contest such taxes, and (iii) Borrower has deposited security in form and
amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender, and has increased the amount of such
security so deposited promptly after Lender’s reasonably request
therefor.  If Borrower fails to commence such contest or, having
commenced to contest the same, and having deposited such security required by
Lender for its full amount, shall thereafter fail to prosecute such contest in

escrow account held by Lender in Lender’s name and under its sole dominion and
control.  All payments deposited in the escrow account, and all
interest accruing thereon, are pledged as additional collateral for the Loan.
Notwithstanding Lender’s holding of the escrow account, nothing herein shall
obligate Lender to pay any insurance premiums or real property taxes with
respect to any portion of the Facilities unless any Default has been cured to
the satisfaction of Lender.  If the Default has been satisfactorily
cured, Lender shall make available to Borrowers such funds as may be deposited
in the escrow account from time to time for Borrowers’ payment of insurance

liens, encumbrances and security interests.




10.6  Leasing
Restrictions.




Without
the prior written consent of Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed), Borrowers shall not and shall not permit the
Master Tenant to (i) enter into any non-residential Lease other than
arms-length Leases of non-residential space in the Facilities entered into in
the ordinary course of business, (ii) accept any rental payment under any
Lease more than one month in advance of its due date (except in circumstances
where a Resident of the Facilities intends to be away from the Facilities for a
period in excess of one month), or (iii) enter into any Lease or occupancy
agreement other than arms-length transactions in the ordinary course of
operation of the Facilities.  Borrowers will not and will not permit
the Master Tenant to enter into any residential Lease for a term of more than

unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, and all residential Leases shall
be on a form approved by Lender without material modification.




10.7  Condition
of Facilities.




Borrowers
will cause all buildings, improvements and equipment located on or used or
useful in connection with the Facilities to be kept and maintained in good

In case
of any Default or Event of Default hereunder, Borrowers (in addition to Lender’s
attorneys’ fees, if any, to be paid pursuant to Section8.3) will pay
Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ and paralegal fees (including, without
limitation, any reasonable attorney and paralegal fees and costs incurred in
connection with any litigation or bankruptcy or administrative hearing and any
appeals therefrom and any post-judgment enforcement action including, without
limitation, supplementary proceedings) in connection with the enforcement of
this Agreement; without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if at any time
or times hereafter Lender employs counsel with respect to a Default (whether or
not any suit has been or shall be filed and whether or not other legal
proceedings have been or shall be instituted) for advice or other representation
with respect to the Facilities, this Agreement, or any of the other Loan
Documents, or to protect, collect, lease, sell, take possession of, or liquidate
any of the Facilities, or to attempt to enforce any security interest or lien in
any portion of the Facilities, or to enforce any rights of Lender or Borrowers’
obligations hereunder, then in any of such events all of the reasonable
attorneys’ fees arising from such services, and any reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses, costs and charges relating thereto (including fees and costs of
paralegals), shall constitute an additional liability owing by Borrowers to
Lender, payable on demand.


28


10.10  Appraisals.




Lender
shall have the right to obtain new or updated Appraisals of the Facilities from
time to time.  Borrowers shall cooperate with Lender in this
regard.  If the Appraisal is obtained to comply with this Agreement or
any applicable law or regulatory requirement, or bank policy promulgated to
comply therewith, or if an Event of Default exists, Borrower shall pay for any
such Appraisal upon Lender’s request.




10.11  Financial

Borrowers
shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender the following, all of which
shall be in form satisfactory to Lender:




(a)  Internally

hours permit Lender or any of its agents or representatives to have access to
and examine all of its books and records regarding the Facilities.

Covenants.




Borrowers
agree to comply with each of the following covenants throughout the term of the

            1.209/30/2011
            1.25




In the
event the minimum Debt Service Coverage is not met for any calendar quarter,
such shall not be an Event of Default hereunder if by the date the Quarterly
Compliance Certificate for such calendar quarter is due under Section10.11(d) above,
Borrowers make a principal payment on the Loan in an amount sufficient to cause
such Debt Service Coverage to be met.




10.13  Lost
Note.




Upon
Lender’s furnishing to Borrowers an affidavit to such effect and an indemnity
reasonably acceptable to Borrowers, Borrowers shall, if the Note is mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen, deliver to Lender, in substitution therefor, a new
note containing the same terms and conditions as the Note.




10.14  Indemnification.




Borrowers
shall indemnify Lender, including each party owning an interest in the Loan and
their respective officers, directors, employees and consultants (each, an “Indemnified
Party”) and defend and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from and
against all claims, injury, damage, loss and liability, cost and expense
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) of any and every kind
to any persons or property by reason of (i) the operation or maintenance of
the Facilities; (ii) any breach of representation or warranty, Default or
Event of Default; or (iii) any other matter arising in connection with the Loan,
Borrower or the Facilities.  No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to
be indemnified against its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct.  The foregoing indemnification shall survive repayment of
the Loan and shall continue to benefit Lender following any assignment of the
Loan with respect to matters arising or accruing prior to such
assignment.


30


10.15  No
Additional Debt.




Except

With Laws.




Borrowers
shall comply with all applicable and material requirements (including applicable

dissolution or termination of its existence.




10.18  Management
Contracts.




No
Borrower shall enter into, modify, amend, terminate or cancel any management
contracts for the Facilities or agreements with agents or brokers, without the
prior written approval of Lender, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed.




10.19  Furnishing
Notices.




Borrowers
shall provide Lender with copies of all material notices pertaining to the
Facilities received by any Borrower or the Master Tenant from any Governmental
Authority or insurance company within seven (7) days after such notice is
received.




10.20  Authorized
Representative.




Borrowers
appoint Eric Mendelsohn as their authorized representative (“Authorized
Representative”) for purposes of dealing with Lender on behalf of
Borrowers in respect of any and all matters in connection with this Agreement,
the other Loan Documents, and the Loan.  The Authorized Representative
shall have the power, in his discretion, to give and receive all notices,
monies, approvals, and other documents and instruments, and to take any other
action on behalf of Borrowers.  All actions by the Authorized
Representative shall be final and binding on Borrowers.  Lender may
rely on the authority given to the Authorized Representative until actual
receipt by Lender of a duly authorized resolution substituting a different
person as the Authorized Representative.  No more than one person
shall serve as Authorized Representative at any given time.




10.21  Single
Purpose Entity Provisions.




(a)  The sole
purpose for which each Borrower is organized is to acquire, own, hold, maintain
and operate its Facility, together with such other activities as may be
necessary or advisable in connection with such limited purpose.  No
Borrower shall engage in any business


31


unrelated
to the foregoing purpose and shall not acquire any real property or own assets
other than those in furtherance of the limited purposes of such
Borrower.




(b)  No
Borrower shall have the authority to perform any act in violation of any
(i) applicable laws or regulations or (ii) the Loan Documents.

Borrower shall during the term of the Loan and/or prior to the full and
indefeasible repayment of the Loan:

for Intra-Party Loans or otherwise as permitted by Lender in writing, make any
loans to any member of Borrower or any Affiliate of any member;




(ii)  dissolve,
wind up or liquidate Borrower;




(iii)  merge,
consolidate or acquire all or substantially all of the assets of any other
entity; or




(iv)  change
the nature of the business of Borrower.




(d)  No
Borrower shall, and no person or entity on behalf of Borrower shall: (a)
institute proceedings to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent; (b) consent to
the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against Borrower; (c)
file a petition seeking, or consenting to, reorganization or relief under any
applicable federal or state law relating to bankruptcy; (d) consent to the
appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other
similar official) of Borrower or a substantial part of its property; (e) make
any assignment for the benefit of creditors; (f) admit in writing Borrower’s
inability to pay its debts generally as they become due or declare or effect a
moratorium on its debts; or (g) take any action in furtherance of any such
action.




(e)  Borrowers
shall at times observe the applicable legal requirements for the recognition of
each Borrower as a legal entity separate from any of its Affiliates, including,
without limitation, as follows:




(i)  Each
Borrower shall hold itself out to the public (including any of its Affiliates’
creditors) under such Borrower’s own name and as a separate and distinct entity
and not as a department, division or otherwise of any Affiliate.




(ii)  Each
Borrower shall observe all customary formalities regarding the existence of
Borrower.




(iii)  Each
Borrower shall hold title to its assets in its own name and act solely in its
own name and through its own duly authorized members and agents.  No
Affiliate shall be appointed or act as agent of Borrower, other than, as
applicable, a property manager with respect to the Facilities.




(iv)  Investments
shall be made in the name of each Borrower directly by such Borrower or on its
behalf by brokers engaged and paid by such Borrower or its agents.




(v)  Each
Borrower is and will be solvent.


32


(vi)  Each
Borrower shall maintain its assets in such a manner that it is not costly or
difficult to segregate, ascertain or identify its individual assets from those
of any Affiliate or other person or entity.




(vii)  Each
Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid its own liabilities and expenses of any
kind, including but not limited to salaries of its employees, if any, only out
of its own separate funds and assets or through Intra-Party Loans.




(viii)  Each
Borrower shall at all times be adequately capitalized to engage in the
transactions contemplated at its formation; provided, however, that this
provision shall not require any direct or indirect member of Borrowers to make
additional capital contributions to any Borrower.




(ix)  No
Borrower shall do any act which would make it impossible to carry on the
ordinary business of Borrower.




(x)  None of
any Borrower’s funds shall be invested in securities issued by, nor shall any
Borrower acquire the indebtedness or obligation of, any Affiliate.




(xi)  Each
Borrower shall correct any misunderstanding that is known by Borrower regarding
its name or separate identity.




(f)  Any
indemnification obligation of Borrower in favor of its members or any other
Affiliate shall (i) be fully subordinated to the Loan and (ii) not constitute a
claim against Borrower or its assets until such time as the Loan has been
indefeasibly paid in accordance with its terms and otherwise has been fully
discharged.




10.22  Right of
First Refusal.




Borrowers
grant Lender a right of first refusal (“Lender’s
ROFR”) with respect to any refinancing of the Loan or any of the
Facilities which secure the Loan.  Lender (which, as used in this
paragraph includes any Affiliate of Lender) shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to match the terms of any such financing offered to any Borrower(s)
by any reputable institutional real estate lender.  If within 30 days
after Lender receives a copy of any such firm financing offer to any Borrower(s)
from a reputable institutional real estate lender, Lender offers such Borrower
financing on terms which, in the reasonable judgment of Borrowers and Lender,
are comparable in all material respects to the terms of any such offered
financing, such Borrower(s) may decline to accept the financing offered by
Lender only if Borrowers pay Lender a termination fee (the “Termination
Fee”) in an amount equal to $98,025.00 multiplied by the allocable
percentage of the Loan (based on the allocation in Section4.3) applicable
to such Facility or Facilities.  The Termination Fee shall be due and
payable when the Loan is due in full or is paid in full, or when Lender releases
such Facility(ies) from the lien of the Security Instruments, whichever is
earlier, and such fee shall be included in the indebtedness secured by the
Mortgages.  If Lender does not, in writing, irrevocably offer such
Borrower(s) financing on terms which, in the reasonable judgment of Borrowers
and Lender, are comparable in all material respects to the terms of any such
offered financing, Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any Termination Fee
or any other fees to Lender in connection with the refinancing of the
Loan.  Lender’s ROFR is personal to Lender and shall not be subject to
any assignment by Lender without Borrowers’ prior written
consent.

Election to Apply Proceeds on Indebtedness.




(a)  Subject
to the provisions of Section11.1(b) below,
Lender may elect to collect, retain and apply upon the indebtedness of Borrowers
under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents all proceeds of
insurance or condemnation (individually and collectively referred to as “Proceeds”)
after deduction of all expenses of collection and settlement, including
attorneys’ and adjusters’ fees and charges.  Any proceeds remaining
after repayment of the indebtedness under the Loan Documents shall be paid by
Lender to Borrower.




(b)  Notwithstanding
anything in Section11.1(a) to the
contrary, in the event of any casualty to a Facility or any condemnation of part
of a Facility, Lender agrees to make the Proceeds available to pay costs of
restoration of the Facility if (i) there is then no Default or Event of
Default, (ii) all Proceeds are deposited with Lender, (iii) in Lender’s
reasonable judgment, the amount of Proceeds available for restoration of the
Facilities (together with any sums or other security acceptable to Lender
deposited with Lender by Borrower for such purpose) is sufficient to pay the
full and complete costs of such restoration, (iv) if the cost of
restoration exceeds ten percent (10%) of the Loan Amount allocable to such
Facility determined based on Section4.3 above, in
Lender’s sole determination after completion of restoration the Loan Amount
allocable to such Facility will not exceed 75% of the “stabilized” fair market
value of the Facility, (vi) in Lender’s reasonable determination, the
Facility can be restored to an architecturally and economically viable project
in compliance with applicable Laws, (vii) each Guarantor reaffirms its Guaranty
in writing, and (viii) in Lender’s reasonable determination, such
restoration is likely to be completed not later than three (3) months prior to
the Maturity Date.




11.2  Borrowers’
Obligation to Rebuild and Use of Proceeds Therefor.




In case
Lender does not elect to apply or does not have the right to apply the Proceeds
to the indebtedness of Borrowers under this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, as provided in Section11.1 above,
Borrowers shall:




(a)  Proceed
with diligence to make settlement with insurers or the appropriate governmental
authorities and cause the Proceeds to be deposited with Lender;

event of any delay in making settlement with insurers or the appropriate
governmental authorities or effecting collection of the Proceeds, deposit with
Lender the full amount required to complete construction as aforesaid;
and




(c)  Promptly
proceed with construction of the Facility, including the repair of all damage
resulting from such fire, condemnation or other cause and restoration to its
former condition.




Lender
may condition the disbursement of Proceeds and other funds deposited with Lender
for the cost of restoration on Lender’s reasonable approval of the plans and
specifications for the restoration, contractor’s cost estimates, architect’s
certificates, waivers of liens, sworn statements of mechanics and materialmen,
and such other evidence of costs, percentage


34


completion
of construction, application of payments and satisfaction of liens as Lender may
reasonably require.

ASSIGNMENTS
BY LENDER AND BORROWER






12.1  Assignments
and Participations.




Lender
may from time to time sell the Loan and the Loan Documents (or any interest
therein) and may grant participations in the Loan to any entity or person
(herein, a “Lender
Transferee”).  Borrowers agree to cooperate with Lender’s
efforts to do any of the foregoing and to execute all documents reasonably
required by Lender in connection therewith which do not materially adversely
affect Borrowers’ rights under the Loan Documents.  If such Lender
Transferee (or its owner if the Lender Transferee is a disregarded entity for
United States federal income tax purposes) is a “foreign person” within the
meaning of Section 1445 or 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code, and if Borrower is
obligated to withhold United States withholding taxes from interest payments on
the Loan to such Lender Transferee, Borrower shall be entitled to deduct such
withholding taxes from each such interest payment provided that Borrower remits
such withholding taxes to the Internal Revenue Service in accordance with
applicable Law.




12.2  Prohibition
of Assignments and Transfers by Borrowers.




Borrowers
shall not assign or attempt to assign its rights under this Agreement and any
purported assignment shall be void.  Without the prior written consent
of Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, Borrowers shall not suffer or permit any
Transfer other than a Permitted Transfer.




12.3  Prohibition
of Transfers in Violation of ERISA.




In
addition to the prohibitions set forth in Section12.2 above, no
Borrower shall assign, sell, pledge, encumber, transfer, hypothecate or
otherwise dispose of its interest or rights in this Agreement or in any of the
Facilities, or attempt to do any of the foregoing or suffer any of the
foregoing, nor shall any party owning a direct or indirect interest in any
Borrower assign, sell, pledge, encumber, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise
dispose of any of its rights or interest (direct or indirect) in any Borrower,
attempt to do any of the foregoing or suffer any of the foregoing, if such
action would cause the Loan, or the exercise of any of Lender’s rights in
connection therewith, to constitute a prohibited transaction under ERISA or the
Internal Revenue Code or otherwise result in Lender being deemed in violation of
any applicable provision of ERISA.  Borrowers agree to indemnify and
hold Lender free and harmless from and against all losses, reasonable
out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), taxes,
damages and reasonable expenses Lender may suffer by reason of the
investigation, defense and settlement of claims and in obtaining any prohibited
transaction exemption under ERISA necessary or desirable in Lender’s sole
judgment or by reason of a breach of the foregoing prohibitions.  The
foregoing indemnification shall be a recourse obligation of Borrowers and shall
survive repayment of the Note, notwithstanding any limitations on recourse
contained herein or in any of the Loan Documents.


35


12.4  Successors
and Assigns.




Subject
to the foregoing restrictions on transfer and assignment contained in this Article 12, this
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding on the parties
hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

cannot reasonably be cured within said thirty (30) day period, then
Borrowers shall have an additional sixty (60) day period to cure such failure
and no Event of Default shall be deemed to exist hereunder so long as Borrowers
commence such cure within the initial thirty (30) day period and diligently

arrangement, readjustment of debt, relief of debtors, dissolution, insolvency or
liquidation or similar Law of any jurisdiction whether now or hereafter in
effect relating to any Borrower or Guarantor; or there is commenced against any
Borrower or Guarantor any such proceeding which remains undismissed or unstayed
for a period of sixty (60) days; or any Borrower or Guarantor fails to
controvert in a timely manner any such case under Bankruptcy Code or any such
proceeding, or any order of relief or other order approving any such case or
proceeding is entered; or any Borrower or Guarantor by any act or failure to act
indicates its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in any such case or
proceeding or the appointment of any custodian or the like of or for it for any
substantial part of its property or suffers any such appointment to continue
undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days.




(h)  Any

shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become

Borrower or Guarantor shall fail to pay any debt (which term shall not include
judgments under clause (j) above) owed by it or is in default under any
agreement with Lender or any other party (other than a failure or default for
which such Borrower’s maximum liability does not exceed $100,000 and Guarantor’s
maximum liability does not exceed $250,000) and such failure or default
continues after any applicable grace period specified in the instrument or
agreement relating thereto.

not cured within any applicable cure period thereunder.




13.2  Remedies

Upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may pursue any one or more of the
following remedies concurrently or successively, it being the intent hereof that

the provisions of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person,
party or circumstances, shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the
remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such provision or provisions
to persons, parties or circumstances other than those as to whom or which it is
held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and every
provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent
permitted by law.




14.7  Definitions
Include Amendments.




Definitions
contained in this Agreement which identify documents, including, but not limited
to, the Loan Documents, shall be deemed to include all amendments and
supplements to such documents from the date hereof, and all future amendments
and supplements thereto entered into from time to time to satisfy the
requirements of this Agreement or otherwise with the consent of
Lender.  Reference to this Agreement contained in any of the foregoing
documents shall be deemed to include all amendments and supplements to this
Agreement.




14.8  Execution

14.9  Entire

14.10  Waiver of
Damages.




In no
event shall Lender be liable to any Borrower for punitive, exemplary or
consequential damages, including, without limitation, lost profits, whatever the
nature of a breach by Lender of its obligations under this Agreement or any of
the Loan Documents, and Borrowers waive all claims for punitive, exemplary or
consequential damages.




14.11  Claims
Against Lender.




Lender
shall not be in default under this Agreement, or under any other Loan Documents,
unless a written notice specifically setting forth the claim of Borrower shall
have been given to Lender within three (3) months after Borrowers first had
knowledge of the occurrence of the event which Borrowers allege gave rise to
such claim and Lender does not remedy or cure the default, if any there be,
promptly thereafter.  Borrowers waive any claim, set-off or defense
against Lender arising by reason of any alleged default by Lender as to which
Borrowers do not give such notice timely as aforesaid.  Borrowers
acknowledge that such waiver is or may be essential to Lender’s ability to
enforce its remedies without delay and that such waiver therefore constitutes a
substantial part of the bargain between Lender and Borrowers with regard to the
Loan.




14.12  Jurisdiction.




TO THE
GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BORROWERS HEREBY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO
REQUIRE MARSHALING OF ASSETS BY LENDER.  WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUIT,
ACTION OR PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (EACH, A “PROCEEDING”),
EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY (A) SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE
STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS HAVING JURISDICTION IN THE CITY OF SEATTLE, STATE OF
WASHINGTON, AND (B) WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE AT ANY TIME TO THE
LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT, WAIVES ANY CLAIM
THAT ANY PROCEEDING HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND FURTHER WAIVES
THE RIGHT TO OBJECT, WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PROCEEDING, THAT SUCH COURT DOES NOT
HAVE JURISDICTION OVER SUCH PARTY.  NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL
PRECLUDE LENDER FROM BRINGING A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION NOR WILL
THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY ONE OR MORE JURISDICTIONS PRECLUDE THE
BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.  BORROWER FURTHER
AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT, IN ADDITION TO ANY METHODS OF SERVICE OF PROCESS
PROVIDED FOR UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ALL SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY PROCEEDING IN
ANY WASHINGTON STATE OR UNITED STATES COURT SITTING IN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON
MAY BE MADE BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, DIRECTED
TO BORROWER AT THE ADDRESS INDICATED BELOW, AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE
COMPLETE UPON RECEIPT; EXCEPT THAT IF BORROWER SHALL REFUSE TO ACCEPT DELIVERY,
SERVICE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETE FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER THE SAME SHALL HAVE BEEN SO
MAILED.

Borrower’s accounts and deposits with Lender (or its Affiliates), and to pay
