Property complies with all applicable governmental requirements, and (vi) Borrowers’ current financial condition shall be satisfactory to Lender;

Lender a non-refundable administrative fee of $10,000 (the “Substitution Administrative Fee”), and the Substitution Administrative Fee shall be deemed earned by Lender upon Lender’s receipt of such fee. At the closing of the
Substitution, Borrower shall pay to Lender a non-refundable fee of one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the Allocated Loan Amount for the Exiting Property; provided, however, that Lender shall credit against such non-refundable fee paid at the closing

total value cannot exceed thirty percent (30%); 
 (u) Borrowers shall only have the right to a combined cumulative total
(during the entire term of the Loans) of three (3) Substitutions; 
 (v) Lender shall have determined, that following the
Substitution, the amount of the Individual Loans of all Individual Properties that comprised part of the Security Pool on the Closing Date and that would remain as part of the Security Pool, shall be greater than sixty (60%) of the total
original principal amount of the Loans; 
 (w) Lender’s decision to accept or reject any proposed Substitute Property
shall be in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, it being understood that, without limiting the foregoing, under no 
  


 9 








 
circumstances shall the Substitute Property qualify for a Substitution unless the value of the Substitute Property is, in Lender’s sole judgment, equal to or greater than one hundred percent

(b) tenant credit and quality and diversification; (c) building quality and diversification; and (d) location quality and diversification. Borrowers acknowledge that Lender may reject a property proposed as a Substitute Property for

certification or other agreement) that any guaranty, indemnity or similar instrument delivered to Lender in connection with the Loans remains in full force and effect, notwithstanding and taking into consideration the Substitution; and 

(z) The Individual Loan associated with the Substitute Property shall have the same unpaid principal balance allocated to such
Individual Loan as the then-existing unpaid principal balance allocated to the Individual Loan associated with the Exiting Property at the time of the closing of the Substitution. 

Lender shall have sixty (60) days in which to process any request to effect a Substitution after receipt of (1) all materials
and information necessary to evaluate such request and (2) the Substitution Administrative Fee. Within ten (10) business days following Lender’s receipt of Borrower’s notice to effect a Substitution and the Substitution
Administrative Fee, Lender shall preliminarily notify Borrower of any materials or information missing from documentation submitted to Lender with such written notice and which are needed by Lender to evaluate such request. 

This Section 4 shall be personal to the original Borrowers under the Loans, and no transferee shall have any rights under this
Section 4. 
 5. REQUEST FOR FINANCING FOR ADDITIONAL COLLATERAL. 

5.1 Provided (i) no Event of Default, or event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would be an
Event of Default, shall then exist or shall have occurred at any time during the term of the Loans, and (ii) Lender, through its general account, is active in the business of providing commercial real estate mortgages and barring any material
change in Lender’s general account commercial mortgage lending business, the original Borrowers only shall have the right to submit additional properties (the “Expansion Property”) for Lender’s consideration for additional
financing (the “Expansion Loan”) from Lender during the term of the Loans subject to the following criteria: 

(a) Borrowers shall request the Expansion Loan in writing and shall provide Lender such information as Lender may reasonably require in
order to evaluate the making of the Expansion Loan. Lender agrees to respond to such request within thirty (30) days after receipt of the written request and all information required by Lender, provided, that, Lender reserves the right to
request additional information in the event that, in Lender’s reasonable belief, Lender requires additional information to complete or supplement Lender’s review of any information theretofore delivered to Lender; 

(b) The amount of the Expansion Loan shall be determined by Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, at the time of the request;

 (c) The Expansion Loan shall be co-terminus with the Loans; 

(d) The terms used to quote the Expansion Loan will (i) reflect then-market conditions for a loan on similar properties of similar
quality at the time, employing Lender’s then-current underwriting parameters, and (ii) be based on spreads and treasuries which match the remaining term of the Loans. In the event Lender consents to the Expansion Loan and Borrower wants to
lock the interest rate prior to closing the Expansion Loan, Borrower shall post an interest rate standby fee (the “Expansion Standby Fee”)(in cash or by letter of credit in form and content and with an issuer acceptable to Lender)
with Lender equal to two percent (2%) of the amount of the Expansion Loan. The Expansion Standby Fee shall be held and disbursed in the same manner as the Fees (as 

 

 10 








 
defined in the Application) are held and disbursed under Section 17(d) and 17(e) of the Application. In the event the interest rate for the Expansion Loan is locked before the closing of the
Expansion Loan, the Expansion Loan must be closed within eighty (80) days after the date of such rate lock; 
 (e)
Borrower also agrees to pay Lender’s reasonable expenses incurred in connection with analyzing and closing the Expansion Loan whether or not the Expansion Loan closes, including, but not limited to, all reasonable legal fees and disbursements
for Lender’s staff attorneys and outside counsel, title insurance, appraisal fees, documentary stamp taxes, environmental site assessment expenses, any inspection(s) of the physical condition of the Expansion Property, mortgage taxes, and
recording fees; 
 (f) Any written request by Borrower to Lender for an Expansion Loan may be made no sooner than six
(6) months after the Closing, and any such written request must be received no later than twenty-four (24) months prior to the maturity date of the Loans; 

(g) The proposed Expansion Property shall constitute the fee simple estate to such property, and no joint venture or partnership
interests or interests in ground leases shall be permitted; 
 (h) The Expansion Property shall not be less than eighty-two
percent (82%) occupied by third-party tenants in occupancy and paying rent, and free rent or other rental concessions shall have been extinguished except as may otherwise be approved in writing by Lender; 

(i) The Expansion Property (including, without limitation, the location, the demographics of the market area, appearance, configuration,
quality and age of and access to the Expansion Property) shall be satisfactory to Lender; 
 (j) In the event Lender approves
Borrowers’ request to make the Expansion Loan on terms and conditions acceptable to Borrowers and Lender, Borrowers shall execute such documents to evidence and secure the Expansion Loan on Lender’s then-current forms with such revisions
as Lender shall require, which shall include but not be limited to, provisions which (i) cross-default the Expansion Loan with the Loans, (ii) make monthly payment dates on the Expansion Loan and the Loans coincide, and (iii) create
the same maturity dates for the Expansion Loan and the Loans. Borrower also agrees to deliver any Due Diligence Materials (as defined in the Application) reasonably requested by Lender, which shall include, without limitation, an environmental site
assessment, an inspection of the physical condition of the Expansion Property, an increase in Lender’s title insurance policy or a new title insurance policy, in Lender’s reasonable discretion, in the amount of the Expansion Loan with an
effective date that coincides with the funding of the Expansion Loan. The making of the Expansion Loan shall be conditioned upon (x) Lender’s review and approval of the Due Diligence Materials, in Lender’s sole discretion,
(y) there being be no material and adverse change to the Expansion Property, the Due Diligence Materials, or the financial condition of the Borrowers, and (z) the conditions of the Application pertaining to the making of the Loans must
have been satisfied, in Lender’s sole discretion, with respect to the making of the Expansion Loan; and 
 (k)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender shall have no obligation to make the Expansion Loan and may accept or decline to make the Expansion Loan in Lender’s sole discretion.

 6. EVENT OF DEFAULT. 

6.1 Definition. The following shall be an “Event of Default”: 

(a) if any Borrower fails to make any scheduled payment required under the Loan Documents when due and such failure continues for five
(5) days after written notice; provided, however, that if Lender gives two (2) notices of such a default within any twelve (12) month period, none of Borrowers shall have any further right to any notice of such a default during
the next following twelve (12) month period; provided, further, however, Borrowers shall have no right to any such notice upon the maturity date of the Notes; 

(b) except for defaults listed in the other subsections of this Section 6.1, if any Borrower fails to perform or comply with any
other provision contained in the Loan Documents that is capable of cure by the payment of money and the default is not cured within fifteen (15) days of Lender providing written notice thereof; provided, however, that (i) with respect to
any failure by any Borrower to pay Assessments as required under the Documents, if Lender gives one (1) notice of such a default within any twelve (12) month period, such Borrower shall have no further right to any notice of such a default
during the next following twelve (12) month period, and (ii) with respect to any failure by any Borrower to pay Insurance Premiums as required under the Loan Documents,

for in the Loan Documents (the “Grace Period”); provided, however, that Lender may extend the Grace Period up to an additional sixty (60) days (for a total of ninety (90) days from the date of default) if (i) such
Borrower immediately commences and diligently pursues the cure of such default and delivers (within the Grace Period) to Lender a written request for more time and (ii) Lender determines in good faith that (1) such default cannot be cured
within the Grace Period but can be cured within ninety (90) days after the default, (2) no Lien or security interest created by the Loan Documents will be impaired prior to completion of such cure, and (3) Lender’s immediate
exercise of any remedies provided hereunder or by law is not necessary for the protection or preservation of the applicable Individual Property or Lender’s security interest;

 12 








 
the Mortgages, unless such default is cured within the lesser of (A) fifteen (15) days after written notice of such default to any Borrower or (B) the shortest cure period, if any,
provided for under any Laws applicable to such matters (including, without limitation, the Anti-Terrorism Regulations [defined in the Mortgages]). 

6.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may at any time declare all of the Indebtedness to be due
and payable, and the same shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, together with all payments due in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents, without any further presentment, demand, protest or
notice of any kind, and Lender shall also have all rights and remedies provided for in the Loan Documents. All remedies of Lender provided for herein and in the Loan Documents are cumulative and shall be in addition to any and all other rights and
remedies provided in the other Loan Documents or, by law, including any right of offset. The exercise of any right or remedy by Lender hereunder shall not in any way constitute a cure or waiver of default hereunder or under the Loan Documents, or
invalidate any act done pursuant to any notice of default, or prejudice Lender in the exercise of any of its rights hereunder or under the Loan Documents. 

6.3 Multiple Obligations; Cross Default. Each Borrower understands, acknowledges and agrees that each of the Notes is a
separate and distinct legal obligation and that the execution of a single Loan Agreement and references herein to the “Loan” or “Loans” is for purposes of administrative convenience only. Each Borrower further understands,
acknowledges and agrees that the occurrence of a default under any of the Notes or other Loan Documents shall constitute a default under all other Notes and other Loan Documents, following the expiration of any applicable cure period, and shall
entitle Lender to exercise all of its rights and remedies under all of the Loan Documents and the Recourse Documents, including, without limitation, accelerating the maturity date of any or all of the Notes and foreclosing the Liens of any or all of
the Mortgages in such order and manner as Lender may elect in its sole and absolute discretion. 
 6.4 Application of
Foreclosure Proceeds. In the event of a foreclosure (non-judicial or judicial) of any of the Mortgages encumbering any of the Individual Properties, each Borrower agrees that Lender shall have full and complete discretion to apply any
proceeds from the sale of the applicable Individual Property, after payment of any and all costs of foreclosure, attorneys’ and trustee’s fees, and after satisfaction of the foreclosed obligation (any such remaining proceeds being defined
as the “Excess Proceeds”) to the prepayment or repayment (together with applicable Prepayment Premium, if any) of the indebtedness evidenced by any of the other Notes. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably assigns, transfers and conveys
to Lender any and all of its right, title and interest in and to the Excess Proceeds and consents to the prepayment or repayment of indebtedness herein above provided. Each Borrower hereby waives any right to require Lender to (i) marshal any
assets of any Borrower (including, without limitation, the Individual Properties), or (ii) any right to require a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the Liens and security interests created by the Mortgages or
any of the other Loan Documents. 
 7. MISCELLANEOUS 

7.1 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the Notes
or any of the other Loan Documents, or consent to any departure by Lender or any Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of Lender and Borrowers thereto. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver
of any provision of any Note shall be effective without the written agreement of Lender and Borrowers. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. In the event of any
inconsistency between the terms and conditions of the other Loan Documents and this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. 

7.2 Notices. All notices, demands or documents of any kind that Borrowers and Lender may be required or may desire to give
or serve under this Agreement shall be given or served in the manner provided in the Mortgages.

Assigns; Subsequent Holders of Notes. The terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on the parties and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns,
and all subsequent owners of the Individual Properties and all subsequent holders of the Notes and the Mortgages, subject in all events to the provisions of the Mortgages and this Agreement regarding transfers by Borrowers. 

 

 13 








 7.4 Survival of Warranties and Certain Agreements. All agreements,
representations and warranties made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the making of the Loans hereunder and the execution and delivery of the Notes. 

7.5 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of Lender or any holder of any
Note in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under the Notes shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement and the Notes are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies
otherwise available. 
 7.6 Severability. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement or the Notes
shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby. 
 7.7 Headings. Sections and subsection headings in this Agreement are included herein for
convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect. 

7.8 Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. 

7.9 Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH OTHER DOCUMENT CONTAINS
A CONTRARY EXPRESS CHOICE OF LAW PROVISION) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.

relating to this Agreement, any Note or the Loan Documents or any of the Pool Obligations may be brought only in any state or Federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New Jersey and by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each
Borrower accepts for itself and in connection with its properties, generally and unconditionally, the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and waives any defense of forum non conveniens, and, subject to any appeal rights, irrevocably
agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement, such Note, the Loan Documents or such Pool Obligations; provided, however, that Lender in its sole discretion shall have the right to commence proceedings with
respect to any Collateral Document (and the Note governed by the laws of such state) in the state where the Individual Property secured by such Collateral Document is located. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT
IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY NOTE OR ANY OBLIGATION. 

7.11 Exhibits and Schedules. The exhibits and schedules annexed hereto are incorporated herein and shall be a part of this
