Article 2. Debt and Obligations Secured

     Section 2.1 Debt. This Security Instrument and the grants, assignments and transfers
made in Article 1 are given for the purpose of securing the payment of the following, in such order
of priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion (the “Debt”):

          (a) the indebtedness evidenced by the Note in lawful money of the United States of America;

          (b) interest, default interest, late charges and other sums, as provided in the Note, this
Security Instrument or the Other Security Documents (defined below);

          (c) the Default Consideration (as defined in the Note), if any;

          (d) all other moneys agreed or provided to be paid by Borrower in the Note, this Security
Instrument or the Other Security Documents;

          (e) all sums advanced pursuant to this Security Instrument to protect and preserve the
Property and the lien and the security interest created hereby; and

          (f) all sums advanced and costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the Debt or
any part thereof, any renewal, extension, or change of or substitution for the Debt or any part
thereof, or the acquisition or perfection of the security therefor, whether made or incurred at the
request of Borrower or Lender.

     Section 2.2 Other Obligations. This Security Instrument and the grants, assignments
and transfers made in Article 1 are also given for the purpose of securing the performance of the
following (the “Other Obligations”):

          (a) all other obligations of Borrower contained herein;

5

 

          (b) each obligation of Borrower contained in the Note and in the Other Security Documents; and

          (c) each obligation of Borrower contained in any renewal, extension, amendment, modification,
consolidation, change of, or substitution or replacement for, all or any part of the Note, this
Security Instrument or the Other Security Documents.

     Section 2.3 Debt and Other Obligations. Borrower’s obligations for the payment of the
Debt and the performance of the Other Obligations shall be referred to collectively below as the
“Obligations.”

     Section 2.4 Payments. Unless payments are made in the required amount in immediately
available funds at the place where the Note is payable, remittances in payment of all or any part
of the Debt shall not, regardless of any receipt or credit issued therefor, constitute payment
until the required amount is actually received by Lender in funds immediately available at the
place where the Note is payable (or any other place as Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, may
have established by delivery of written notice thereof to Borrower) and shall be made and accepted
subject to the condition that any check or draft may be handled for collection in accordance with
the practice of the collecting bank or banks. Acceptance by Lender of any payment in an amount less
than the amount then due shall be deemed an acceptance on account only, and the failure to pay the
entire amount then due shall be and continue to be an Event of Default.

Article 3. Borrower Covenants

     Borrower covenants and agrees that:

     Section 3.1 Payment of Debt. Borrower will pay the Debt at the time and in the manner
provided in the Note and in this Security Instrument.

     Section 3.2 Incorporation by Reference. All the covenants, conditions and agreements
contained in (a) the Note and (b) all and any of the documents other than the Note or this Security
Instrument now or hereafter executed by Borrower and/or others and by or in favor of Lender, which
wholly or partially secure or guaranty payment of the Note (the “Other Security Documents”), are
hereby made a part of this Security Instrument to the same extent and with the same force as if
fully set forth herein.

     Section 3.3 Insurance.

          (a) Borrower shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be maintained, insurance for Borrower and
the Property providing at least the following coverages:

          (i) Property Insurance. Insurance with respect to the Improvements and building
equipment insuring against any peril now or hereafter included within the classification
“All Risks of Physical Loss” in amounts at all times sufficient to prevent Lender from
becoming a co-insurer within the terms of the applicable policies and under applicable law,
but in any event such insurance shall be maintained in an amount which, after application of
deductible, shall be equal to the full insurable value of the

6

 

Improvements and building equipment, the term “full insurable value” to mean the actual
replacement cost of the Improvements and building equipment (without taking into account any
depreciation, and exclusive of excavations, footings and foundations, landscaping and
paving) determined annually by an insurer, a recognized independent insurance broker or an
independent appraiser selected and paid by Borrower and in no event less than the coverage
required pursuant to the terms of any Lease;

          (ii) Liability Insurance. Comprehensive general liability insurance, including
bodily injury, death and property damage liability, insurance against any and all claims,
including all legal liability to the extent insurable and imposed upon Lender and all court
costs and attorneys’ fees and expenses, arising out of or connected with the possession,
use, leasing, operation, maintenance or condition of the Property in such amounts as are
generally available at commercially reasonable premiums and are generally required by
institutional lenders for properties comparable to the Property but in any event for a
combined single limit of at least $5,000,000;

          (iii) Workers’ Compensation Insurance. Statutory workers’ compensation
insurance with respect to any work on or about the Property;

          (iv) Business Interruption Insurance. Business income insurance (A) with loss
payable to Lender; (B) covering all risks required to be covered by the insurance provided
for in subsection (i) above for a period commencing at the time of loss for such length of
time as it takes to repair or replace with the exercise of due diligence and dispatch; (C)
containing an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the
physical loss to the Improvements and Personal Property has been repaired, the continued
loss of income will be insured until such income either returns to the same level it was at
prior to the loss, or the expiration of twelve (12) months from the date that the Property
is repaired or replaced and operations are resumed, whichever first occurs, and
notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period; and (D) in an
amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the projected gross income from the Property
for a period from the date of loss to a date (assuming total destruction) which is twelve
(12) months from the date that the Property is repaired or replaced and operations are
resumed. The amount of such business income insurance shall be determined prior to the date
hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the
gross income from the Property for the succeeding twelve (12) month period, based upon the
assumption that no casualty has or will occur. All proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to
this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the obligations secured by
the Loan documents from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Note and the
Other Security Documents and otherwise as determined by Lender in its sole discretion;
provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its
obligations to pay the obligations secured by the Loan documents on the respective dates of
payment provided for herein and in the Note and the Other Security Documents except to the
extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;

7

vessels, machinery, and equipment located in, on or about the Property and insurance against
loss of occupancy or use arising from any breakdown in such amounts as are generally
required by institutional lenders for properties comparable to the Property;

          (vi) Flood Insurance. If required by Subsection 5.5(j) hereof, flood insurance
in an amount at least equal to the lesser of (A) the principal balance of the Note, or (B)
the maximum limit of coverage available for the Property under the National Flood Insurance
Act of 1968, The Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance
Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended;

          (vii) Builder’s Risk Insurance. At all times during which structural

those provided in subsections (i) and (iv) above).

          (b) All insurance provided for in Subsection 3.3(a) hereof shall be obtained under valid and
enforceable policies (the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be issued by one
or more domestic primary insurer(s) having (i) a general policy rating of A or better and a

claims paying ability rating by a credit rating agency approved by Lender (a “Rating Agency”) of
not less than AA by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services or such comparable rating by such other
Rating Agency. All insurers providing insurance required by this Security Instrument shall be
authorized to issue insurance in the state in which the Property is located. The Policy referred to
in Subsection 3.3(a)(ii) above shall name Lender as an additional named insured and the Policies
referred to in Subsection 3.3(a)(i), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii), and as applicable (viii), above
shall provide that all proceeds be payable to Lender as set forth in Section 3.7 hereof The
Policies referred to in Subsections 3.3(a)(i), (v), (vi) and (vii) shall also contain: (i) a
standard “non-contributory mortgagee” endorsement or its equivalent relating, inter

8

 

alia, to recovery by Lender notwithstanding the negligent or willful acts or omission of
Lender; (ii) to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates, a waiver of subrogation
endorsement as to Lender; and (iii) an endorsement providing for a deductible per loss of an amount
not more than that which is customarily maintained by prudent owners of similar properties in the

Building Laws, Demolition Costs and Increased Cost of Construction Endorsements together with an
“Ordinance or Law Coverage” or “Enforcement” endorsement if any of the Improvements or the use of
the Property shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses. All Policies
shall contain (i) a provision that such Policies shall not be cancelled or terminated, nor shall
they expire, without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lender in each instance;
and (ii) include effective waivers by the insurer of all claims for Insurance Premiums (defined
below) against any loss payees, additional insureds and named insureds (other than Borrower).
Certificates of insurance with respect to all renewal and replacement Policies shall be delivered
to Lender not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration date of any of the Policies
required to be maintained hereunder, which certificates shall bear notations evidencing payment of
applicable premiums (the “Insurance Premiums”). Originals or certificates of such replacement
Policies shall be delivered to Lender promptly after Borrower’s receipt thereof but in any case
within thirty (30) days after the effective date thereof. If Borrower fails to maintain and deliver
to Lender the original Policies or certificates of insurance required by this Security Instrument,
upon ten (10) days’ prior notice to Borrower, Lender may procure such insurance at Borrower’s sole
cost and expense.

          (c) Borrower shall comply with all insurance requirements and shall not bring or keep or
permit to be brought or kept any article upon any of the Property or cause or permit any condition
to exist thereon which would be prohibited by an insurance requirement, or would invalidate the
insurance coverage required hereunder to be maintained by Borrower on or with respect to any part
of the Property pursuant to this Section 3.3.

     Section 3.4 Payment of Taxes, Etc.

          (a) Borrower shall promptly pay all taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rents, governmental
impositions, and other charges, including without limitation vault charges and license fees for the
use of vaults, chutes and similar areas adjoining the Land, now or hereafter levied or assessed or
imposed against the Property or any part thereof (the “Taxes”), all ground rents, maintenance
charges and similar charges, now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or
any part thereof (the “Other Charges”), and all charges for utility services provided to the
Property as same become due and payable. Borrower will deliver to Lender, promptly upon Lender’s
request, evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes, Other Charges and utility service charges
have been so paid or are not then delinquent. Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to
be paid and discharged any lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a lien or charge
against the Property. Except to the extent sums sufficient to pay all Taxes and Other Charges have
been deposited with Lender in accordance with the terms of this Security Instrument, Borrower shall
furnish to Lender paid receipts for the payment of the Taxes and Other Charges prior to the date
the same shall become delinquent.

9

 

          (b) After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by
appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due
diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any of the Taxes, provided
that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Note, this Security
Instrument or any of the Other Security Documents, (ii) Borrower is permitted to do so under the
provisions of any other mortgage, deed of trust or deed to secure debt affecting the Property,
(iii) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of the Taxes from Borrower and from the Property
or Borrower shall have paid all of the Taxes under protest, (iv) such proceeding shall be permitted
under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower
is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder, (v) neither the Property nor any part
thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or
lost, and (vi) Borrower shall have deposited with Lender adequate reserves for the payment of the
Taxes, together with all interest and penalties thereon, unless Borrower has paid all of the Taxes
under protest, or Borrower shall have furnished the security as may be required in the proceeding,
or as may be reasonably requested by Lender to insure the payment of any contested Taxes, together
with all interest and penalties thereon, taking into consideration the amount in the Escrow Fund
available for payment of Taxes.

     Section 3.5 Escrow Fund. In addition to the initial deposits with respect to Taxes and
Insurance Premiums made by Borrower to Lender on the date hereof to be held by Lender in escrow,
Borrower shall pay to Lender on the first day of each calendar month (a) one-twelfth of an amount
which would be sufficient to pay the Taxes payable, or estimated by Lender to be payable, during
the next ensuing twelve (12) months and (b) one-twelfth of an amount which would be sufficient to
pay the Insurance Premiums due for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the
expiration thereof (the amounts in (a) and (b) above shall be called the “Escrow Fund”). Borrower
agrees to notify Lender immediately of any changes to the amounts, schedules and instructions for
payment of any Taxes and Insurance Premiums of which it has or obtains knowledge and authorizes
Lender or its agent to obtain the bills for Taxes directly from the appropriate taxing authority.
The Escrow Fund and the payments of interest or principal or both, payable pursuant to the Note
shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Provided there
are sufficient amounts in the Escrow Fund and no Event of Default exists, Lender shall be obligated
to pay the Taxes and Insurance Premiums as they become due on their respective due dates on behalf
of Borrower by applying the Escrow Fund to the payments of such Taxes and Insurance Premiums
required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 3.4 hereof. If the amount of the
Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Sections 3.3
and 3.4 hereof, Lender shall, in its discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such
excess against future payments to be made to the Escrow Fund. In allocating such excess, Lender may
deal with the person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property. If the Escrow
Fund is not sufficient to pay the items set forth in (a) and (b) above, Borrower shall promptly pay
to Lender, upon demand, an amount which Lender shall reasonably estimate as sufficient to make up
the deficiency. The Escrow Fund shall not constitute a trust fund and may be commingled with other
monies held by Lender. Unless otherwise required by Applicable Laws (defined in Section 3.11), no
earnings or interest on the Escrow Fund shall be payable to Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Section 3.5, Borrower shall not be required to make monthly deposits into the
Escrow Fund for Insurance Premiums so long as all of the insurance requirements and coverages set
forth in Section 3.3 are provided pursuant to a “blanket” insurance policy.

10

 

     Section 3.6 Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or
threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding and shall deliver to
Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Notwithstanding any
taking by any public or quasi-public authority through eminent domain or otherwise (including but
not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking),
Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in
the Note and in this Security Instrument and the Debt shall not be reduced until any award or
payment therefor shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of
expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Borrower shall cause the award
or payment made in any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding, which is payable to Borrower, to
be paid directly to Lender. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the award by the
condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the award interest at the rate or
rates provided herein or in the Note. Lender may apply any award or payment to the reduction or
discharge of the Debt whether or not then due and payable. If the Property is sold, through
foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the award or payment, Lender shall have
the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note (to the extent permitted in the Note or
herein) shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the award or payment, or a portion
thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.

     Section 3.7 Restoration After Casualty/Condemnation. In the event of a casualty or a
taking by eminent domain, the following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration
(defined below) of the Property:

          (a) If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other
casualty, or if the Property or any portion thereof is taken by the power of eminent domain
Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage or taking to Lender and shall promptly commence
and diligently prosecute the completion of the repair and restoration of the Property as nearly as
possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty or
taking, with such alterations as may be approved by Lender (the “Restoration”).

          (b) The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section 3.7 shall mean: (i) the net amount of
all insurance proceeds under the Policies carried pursuant to Subsections 3.3(a)(i), (iv), (v),

counsel fees), if any, in collecting the same, or (ii) the net amount of all awards and payments
received by Lender with respect to a taking referenced in Section 3.6 of this Security Instrument,
after deduction of Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to reasonable
counsel fees), if any, in collecting the same, whichever the case may be. If (i) the Net Proceeds
do not exceed $150,000 (the “Net Proceeds Availability Threshold”); (ii) the costs of completing
the Restoration as reasonably estimated by Borrower shall be less than or equal to the Net
Proceeds; (iii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Note, this
Security Instrument or any of the Other Security Documents; (iv) the Property and the use thereof
after the Restoration will be in compliance with, and permitted under, all applicable zoning laws,
ordinances, rules and regulations (including, without limitation, all applicable Environmental Laws
(defined in Section 12.1)); (v) (A) in the event that the Net Proceeds are

11

 

insurance proceeds, less than thirty-five percent (35%) of the total floor area of the
Improvements has been damaged or destroyed, or rendered unusable as a result of such fire or other
casualty; or (B) in the event that the Net Proceeds are condemnation awards, less than thirty-five
percent (35%) of the Land constituting the Property is taken, such Land that is taken is located
along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, no portion of the Improvements is located in such
Lands, and such taking does not materially impair access to the Property; and (vi) Lender shall be
satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest
under the Note which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of
any such fire or other casualty or taking, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1)
the Net Proceeds, or (2) other funds of Borrower, then the Net Proceeds will be disbursed directly
to Borrower.

          (c) If the Net Proceeds are greater than the Net Proceeds Availability Threshold or Borrower
is not otherwise entitled to have the Net Proceeds disbursed directly to Borrower pursuant to
Subsection 3.7(b), such Net Proceeds shall be forthwith paid to Lender to be held by Lender in a
segregated account to be made available to Borrower for the Restoration in accordance with the
provisions of this Subsection 3.7(c).

               The Net Proceeds held by Lender pursuant to this Subsection 3.7(c) shall be made available to
Borrower for payment or reimbursement of Borrower’s expenses in connection with the Restoration,
subject to the following conditions:

          (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Note, this
Security Instrument or any of the Other Security Documents;

          (ii) Lender shall, within a reasonable period of time prior to request for initial
disbursement, be furnished with an estimate of the cost of the Restoration accompanied by an
independent architect’s certification as to such costs and appropriate plans and
specifications for the Restoration, such plans and specifications and cost estimates to be
subject to Lender’s approval, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed;

          (iii) the Net Proceeds, together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower
with Lender, are sufficient to cover the cost of the Restoration as such costs are certified
by the independent architect;

          (iv) Net Proceeds are less than the then outstanding principal balance of the Note;

          (v) (A) in the event that the Net Proceeds are insurance proceeds, less than
thirty-five percent (35%) of the total floor area of the Improvements has been damaged or
destroyed, or rendered unusable as a result of such fire or other casualty; or (B) in the
event that the Net Proceeds are condemnation awards, less than thirty-five percent (35%) of
the Land constituting the Property is taken, such Land that is taken is located along the
perimeter or periphery of the Property, no portion of the Improvements is located in such
Lands and such taking does not materially impair access to the Property;

12

 

          (vi) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled
payments of principal and interest under the Note which will be incurred with respect to the
Property as a result of the occurrence of any such fire or other casualty or taking,
whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, or (2) other funds
of Borrower;

          (vii) Lender shall be satisfied that, upon the completion of the Restoration, the net
cash flow of the Property will be restored to a level sufficient to cover all carrying costs
and operating expenses of the Property, including, without limitation, debt service on the
Note and all required replacement reserves, reserves for tenant improvements and leasing
commissions;

          (viii) the Restoration can reasonably be completed on or before the earliest to occur
of (A) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date (as defined in the Note), (B) the earliest
date required for such completion under the terms of any Major Leases (defined below) and
(C) such time as may be required under applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or regulation
in order to repair and restore the Property to as nearly as possible the condition it was in
immediately prior to such fire or other casualty or to such taking, as applicable; and

          (ix) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with,
and permitted under, all applicable zoning laws, ordinances, rules and regulations
(including, without limitation, all applicable Environmental Laws (defined in Section 12.1).

          (d) The Net Proceeds held by Lender until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 3.7 shall constitute additional security for the Obligations. The Net Proceeds (other than
the Net Proceeds paid under the Policy described in Subsection 3.3(a)(iv) which shall be applied by
Lender pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Subsection 3.3(a)(iv)) shall be
disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower, in an amount equal to the costs actually
incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration less customary retainage
from time to time during the course of the Restoration, not more frequently than once per month,
upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor
performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in
connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of
pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or
any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property arising out of the
Restoration which have not either been fully bonded and discharged of record or in the alternative
fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company insuring the lien of this Security
Instrument. Final payment shall be made after submission to Lender of all licenses, permits,
certificates of occupancy and other required approvals of governmental authorization having
jurisdiction and Casualty Consultant’s (as defined below) certification that the Restoration has
been fully completed.

          (e) Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and
approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors,
subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the

13

 

contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance
by Lender and an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”),
such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All costs and expenses incurred by
Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without
limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be
paid by Borrower.

          (f) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the
reasonable opinion of Lender, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are
estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the
Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender
before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency
deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in
connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net
Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 3.7 shall constitute additional security
for the Obligations.

          (g) Except upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall settle
any insurance claims with respect to the Net Proceeds which in the aggregate are less than the Net
Proceeds Availability Threshold. Lender shall have the right to participate in and reasonably
approve any settlement for insurance claims with respect to the Net Proceeds which in the aggregate
are greater than the Net Proceeds Availability Threshold. If an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, Borrower hereby irrevocably empowers Lender, in the name of Borrower as
its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, to file and prosecute such claim and to collect and to make
receipt for any such payment. If the Net Proceeds are received by Borrower, such Net Proceeds
shall, until the completion of the related work, be held in trust for Lender and shall be
segregated from other funds of Borrower to be used to pay for the cost of the Restoration in
accordance with the terms hereof.

          (h) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net
Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after (i) the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender
that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.7, and
(ii) the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection
with the Restoration have been paid in full and all required permits, licenses, certificates of
occupancy and other required approvals of governmental authorities having jurisdiction have been
issued, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred
and shall be continuing under the Note, this Security Instrument or any of the Other Security
Documents.

          (i) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be
returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Subsection 3.7(h) shall be retained and
applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order,
priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper or, at the discretion of
Lender, the same shall be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower. If Lender shall receive
and retain Net Proceeds, the lien of this Security Instrument shall be reduced only by the amount
received and retained by Lender and actually applied by Lender in reduction of the Debt.

14

 

     Section 3.8 Leases and Rents.

          (a) Borrower may enter into a proposed Lease (including the renewal or extension of an
existing Lease (“a Renewal Lease”)) without the prior written consent of Lender, provided such
proposed Lease or Renewal Lease (i) provides for rental rates and terms comparable to existing
local market rates and terms (taking into account the type and quality of the tenant) as of the
date such Lease is executed by Borrower (unless, in the case of a Renewal Lease, the rent payable
during such renewal, or a formula or other method to compute such rent, is provided for in the
original Lease), (ii) is an arms-length transaction with a bona fide, independent third party
tenant, (iii) does not have a materially adverse effect on the value of the Property taken as a
whole, (iv) is subject and subordinate to the Security Instrument and the lessee thereunder agrees
to attorn to Lender, and (v) is written on the standard form of lease approved by Lender. All
proposed Leases which do not satisfy the requirements set forth in this Subsection 3.8(a) shall be
subject to the prior approval of Lender and its counsel (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed), at Borrower’s expense. Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender copies of
all Leases which are entered into pursuant to this Subsection together with Borrower’s
certification that it has satisfied all of the conditions of this Subsection.

          (b) Borrower (i) shall observe and perform all the obligations imposed upon the lessor under
the Leases and shall not do or permit to be done anything to impair the value of any of the Leases
as security for the Debt; (ii) upon request, shall promptly send copies to Lender of all notices of
default which Borrower shall send or receive thereunder; (iii) shall enforce all of the material
terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the tenant thereunder to
be observed or performed, (iv) shall not collect any of the Rents more than one (1) month in
advance (except security deposits shall not be deemed Rents collected in advance); (v) shall not
execute any other assignment of the lessor’s interest in any of the Leases or the Rents; and (vi)
shall not consent to any assignment of or subletting under any Leases not in accordance with their
terms, without the prior written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed).

          (c) Borrower may, without the consent of Lender, amend, modify or waive the provisions of any
Lease or terminate, reduce rents under, accept a surrender of space under, or shorten the term of,
any Lease (including any guaranty, letter of credit or other credit support with respect thereto)
provided that such action (taking into account, in the case of a termination, reduction in rent,
surrender of space or shortening of term, the planned alternative use of the affected space) does
not have a materially adverse effect on the value of the Property taken as a whole, and provided
that such Lease, as amended, modified or waived, is otherwise in compliance with the requirements
of this Security Instrument and any subordination agreement binding upon Lender with respect to
such Lease. A termination of a Lease with a tenant who is in default beyond applicable notice and
grace periods shall not be considered an action which has a materially adverse effect on the value
of the Property taken as a whole. Any amendment, modification, waiver, termination, rent reduction,
space surrender or term shortening which does not satisfy the requirements set forth in this
Subsection shall be subject to the prior consent of Lender and its counsel (which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed), at Borrower’s expense. Borrower shall promptly deliver to
Lender copies of amendments, modifications and waivers which are entered into pursuant to this
Subsection together with Borrower’s certification that it has satisfied all of the conditions of
this Subsection.

15

 

          (d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Borrower shall not, without the
prior written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed),
enter into, renew, extend, amend, modify, waive any provisions of, terminate, reduce rents under,
accept a surrender of space under, or shorten the term of, any Major Lease. The term “Major Lease”
shall mean any Lease demising in the aggregate more than the lesser of (i) 15,000 rentable square
feet or (ii) fifteen percent (15%) of the total rentable square feet at the Property, or if the
Property is multi-family, any non-residential space at the Property.

     Section 3.9 Maintenance and Use of Property. Borrower shall cause the Property to be
maintained in a good and safe condition and repair. The Improvements and the Personal Property
shall not be removed, demolished or materially altered (except for normal replacement of the
Personal Property) without the consent of Lender. Borrower shall promptly repair, replace or
rebuild any part of the Property which may be destroyed by any casualty, or become damaged, worn or
dilapidated or which may be affected by any proceeding of the character referred to in Section 3.6
hereof and shall complete and pay for any structure at any time in the process of construction or
repair on the Land. Borrower shall not initiate, join in, acquiesce in, or consent to any change in
any private restrictive covenant, zoning law or other public or private restriction, limiting or
defining the uses which may be made of the Property or any part thereof. If under applicable zoning
provisions the use of all or any portion of the Property is or shall become a nonconforming use,
Borrower will not cause or permit the nonconforming use to be discontinued or the nonconforming
Improvement to be abandoned without the express written consent of Lender.

     Section 3.10 Waste. Borrower shall not commit or suffer any waste of the Property or
make any change in the use of the Property which will in any way materially increase the risk of
fire or other hazard arising out of the operation of the Property, or take any action that might
invalidate or give cause for cancellation of any Policy, or do or permit to be done thereon
anything that may in any way impair the value of the Property or the security of this Security
Instrument. Borrower will not, without the prior written consent of Lender, permit any drilling or
exploration for or extraction, removal, or production of any minerals from the surface or the
subsurface of the Land, regardless of the depth thereof or the method of mining or extraction
thereof.

     Section 3.11 Compliance With Laws.

          (a) Borrower shall promptly comply with all existing and future federal, state and local laws,
orders, ordinances, governmental rules and regulations or court orders affecting Borrower, the
Property, or the use thereof, including, without limitation, Prescribed Laws (collectively,
“Applicable Laws”). The term “Prescribed Laws” shall mean, collectively, (a) the Uniting and
Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism
Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56) (The USA PATRIOT Act), (b) Executive Order No. 13224 on Terrorist

Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism, (c) the
International Emergency Economic Power Act, 50 U.S.C. §1701 et. seq. and (d) all other legal
requirements relating to money laundering or terrorism.

16

 

          (b) Borrower shall from time to time, upon Lender’s request, provide Lender with evidence
reasonably satisfactory to Lender that each of Borrower and the Property complies with all
Applicable Laws or is exempt from compliance with Applicable Laws.

          (c) Notwithstanding any provisions set forth herein or in any document regarding Lender’s
approval of alterations of the Property, Borrower shall not alter the Property in any manner which
would materially increase Borrower’s responsibilities for compliance with Applicable Laws without
the prior written approval of Lender. Lender’s approval of the plans, specifications, or working
drawings for alterations of the Property shall create no responsibility or liability on behalf of
Lender for their completeness, design, sufficiency or their compliance with Applicable Laws. The
foregoing shall apply to tenant improvements constructed by Borrower or by any of its tenants.
Lender may condition any such approval upon receipt of a certificate of compliance with Applicable
Laws from an independent architect, engineer, or other person acceptable to Lender.

          (d) Borrower shall give prompt notice to Lender of the receipt by Borrower of any notice
related to a violation of any Applicable Laws and of the commencement of any proceedings or
investigations which relate to compliance with Applicable Laws.

          (e) After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by
appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due
diligence, the Applicable Laws affecting the Property, provided that (i) no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing under the Note, this Security Instrument or any of the Other Security
Documents; (ii) Borrower is permitted to do so under the provisions of any other mortgage, deed of
trust or deed to secure debt affecting the Property; (iii) such proceeding shall be permitted under
and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower or the
Property is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder; (iv) neither the Property, any
part thereof or interest therein, any of the tenants or occupants thereof, nor Borrower shall be
affected in any material adverse way as a result of such proceeding; (v) non-compliance with the
Applicable Laws shall not impose civil or criminal liability on Borrower or Lender; and (vi)
Borrower shall have furnished to Lender all other items reasonably requested by Lender.

     Section 3.12 Books and Records.

          (a) Borrower and any Guarantors (defined in Subsection 10.1(e)) and Indemnitor(s) (defined in
Section 13.4), if any, shall keep adequate books and records of account in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), or in accordance with other methods acceptable
to Lender in its sole discretion, consistently applied and furnish to Lender:

Lender, detailing the revenues received, the expenses incurred and the net operating income
before and after debt service (principal and interest) and major capital improvements for
each month and containing appropriate year to date information, within thirty (30) days
after the end of each quarter of Borrower or sixty (60) days after the close of each fiscal
year of Borrower, as applicable;

          (iii) an annual operating statement of the Property detailing the total revenues
received, total expenses incurred, total cost of all capital improvements, total debt
service and total cash flow, to be prepared and certified by Borrower in the form required

institution, along with any authority or release necessary for Lender to obtain information
regarding such accounts directly from such financial institutions.

          (c) Promptly upon receipt by Borrower, any Guarantor and any Indemnitor, Borrower, any

received by Lender within the time frame specified herein (each such event, a “Reporting Failure”),
in addition to constituting an Event of Default hereunder and without limiting Lender’s other
rights and remedies with respect to the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay
to Lender the sum of $1,000.00 per occurrence for each Reporting Failure. It shall constitute a
further Event of Default hereunder if any such payment is not received by Lender within thirty (30)
days of the date on which such payment is due, and Lender shall be entitled to the exercise of all
of its rights and remedies provided hereunder.

          (g) In the event that two (2) Reporting Failures occur during any twelve (12) month period
during the term of the Loan, Borrower agrees to establish a lockbox and lockbox account pursuant to
Lender’s requirements, each in the name of Lender, and to execute Lender’s standard form Cash

changes thereto.

     Section 3.15 Change of Name, Identity or Structure. Except as may be permitted under
Article 8 hereof, Borrower will not change Borrower’s name, identity (including its trade name or

scrivener’s errors contained herein or therein, including, without limitation, any errors with
respect to the spelling of Borrower’s name, the address of the Property, the legal description of
the Property and/or the date of execution of the Note, this Security Instrument and/or the Other
Security Documents. Borrower also ratifies its authorization for Lender to have filed any initial
financing statements, amendments thereto and continuation statements, if filed prior to the date of
this Security Instrument. Borrower grants to Lender an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with
an interest for the purpose of exercising and perfecting any and all rights and remedies available
to Lender pursuant to this Section 7.2. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, Borrower
hereby ratifies all acts Lender has lawfully done in the past or shall lawfully do or cause to be
done in the future by virtue of such power of attorney.

     Section 7.3 Changes in Tax, Debt Credit and Documentary Stamp Laws.

          (a) If any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this Security Instrument
which deducts the Debt from the value of the Property for the purpose of taxation or which imposes
a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Debt or Lender’s interest in the Property, Borrower
will pay the tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. If Lender is advised by counsel
chosen by it that the payment of tax by Borrower would be unlawful or taxable to Lender or
unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury, then Lender shall have the option,
exercisable by written notice of not less than ninety (90) days, to declare the Debt immediately
due and payable.

          (b) Borrower will not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of
the Debt for any part of the Taxes or Other Charges assessed against the Property,

31

 

or any part thereof, and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed
value of the Property, or any part thereof, for real estate tax purposes by reason of this Security
Instrument or the Debt. If such claim, credit or deduction shall be required by law, Lender shall
have the option, exercisable by written notice of not less than ninety (90) days, to declare the
Debt immediately due and payable.

          (c) If at any time the United States of America, any State thereof or any subdivision of any
such State shall require revenue or other stamps to be affixed to the Note, this Security
Instrument, or any of the Other Security Documents or impose any other tax or charge on the same,
Borrower will pay for the same, with interest and penalties thereon, if any.

     Section 7.4 Estoppel Certificates.

          (a) After request by Lender, Borrower, within ten (10) days, shall furnish Lender or any
proposed assignee with a statement, duly acknowledged and certified, setting forth (i) the original
principal amount of the Note, (ii) the unpaid principal amount of the Note, (iii) the rate of
interest of the Note, (iv) the terms of payment and maturity date of the Note, (v) the date

or both, would constitute an event of default under the Note or the Security Instrument, (vii) that
the Note and this Security Instrument are valid, legal and binding obligations and have not been
modified or if modified, giving particulars of such modification, (viii) whether any offsets or
defenses exist against the obligations secured hereby and, if any are alleged to exist, a detailed

is not a residential multifamily property) have not been modified (or if modified, setting forth
all modifications), (x) the date to which the Rents thereunder have been paid pursuant to the
Leases, (xi) whether or not, to the best knowledge of Borrower, any of the lessees under the Leases
are in default under the Leases, and, if any of the lessees are in default, setting forth the
specific nature of all such defaults, (xii) the amount of security deposits held by Borrower under
each Lease and that such amounts are consistent with the amounts required under each Lease, and
(xiii) as to any other matters reasonably requested by Lender and reasonably related to the Leases,
the obligations secured hereby, the Property or this Security Instrument.

          (b) Borrower shall use its best efforts to deliver to Lender, promptly upon request, duly
executed estoppel certificates from any one or more lessees as required by Lender attesting to such
facts regarding the Lease as Lender may require, including but not limited to attestations that
each Lease covered thereby is in full force and effect with no defaults thereunder on the part of
any party, that none of the Rents have been paid more than one month in advance, and that the
lessee claims no defense or offset against the full and timely performance of its obligations under
the Lease.

          (c) Upon any transfer or proposed transfer contemplated by Section 18.1 hereof, at Lender’s
request, Borrower, any Guarantors and any Indemnitor(s) shall provide an estoppel certificate to
the Investor (defined in Section 18.1) or any prospective Investor in such form, substance and
detail as Lender, such Investor or prospective Investor may require.

32

 

     Section 7.5 Flood Insurance. After Lender’s request, Borrower shall deliver evidence

Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Note or any Other Security Document
which is not of public record, and, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and
cancellation of such Note or Other Security Document, Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a

like tenor.

Borrower following such transfer is in accordance with the standards of two of the Rating Agencies
or, if a securitization has occurred, the Rating Agencies rating the Securities in the

transfer or series of transfers will not result in a requalification, reduction or withdrawal of
the ratings then applicable to such Securities), (iv) Lender shall receive not less than ten (10)
days prior written notice of such proposed transfer and (v) Borrower shall deliver to Lender such

required hereunder upon a modification of the terms hereof and on assumption of the Note, this
Security Instrument and the Other Security Documents as so modified by the proposed transferee,
payment of a transfer fee equal to one percent (1%) of the then outstanding principal balance of
the Note, and all of Lender’s expenses incurred in connection with such transfer, the approval by a
Rating Agency of the proposed transferee, the proposed transferee’s continued compliance with the
covenants set forth in this Security Instrument, including, without limitation, the covenants in
Section 4.2 hereof, or such other conditions as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion to be
in the interest of Lender. All of Lender’s expenses incurred shall be payable by Borrower whether
or not Lender consents to the transfer. Lender shall not be required to demonstrate any actual
impairment of its security or any increased risk of default

34

 

hereunder in order to declare the Debt immediately due and payable upon Borrower’s sale,
conveyance, mortgage, grant, bargain, encumbrance, pledge, assignment, or transfer of the Property
without Lender’s consent. This provision shall apply to every sale, conveyance, mortgage, grant,
bargain, encumbrance, pledge, assignment, or transfer of the Property regardless of whether
voluntary or not, or whether or not Lender has consented to any previous sale, conveyance,
mortgage, grant, bargain, encumbrance, pledge, assignment, or transfer of the Property.

     Section 8.4 Two Permitted Transfers. Lender shall not unreasonably withhold consent to
a two (2) sales, conveyances or transfers of the Property in its entirety (hereinafter, each a
“Sale”) at any time after the date hereof so long as such date is at least ninety (90) days after
Lender’s securitization of the Loan, and with respect to such Sale, Lender shall not require a
modification of the material economic terms hereof (other than a corresponding increase in
Borrower’s deposits into the Escrow Fund with respect to Taxes in the event such Sale results in an
increase in the real property tax assessment by the applicable taxing authority), to any person or
entity provided that each of the following terms and conditions are satisfied:

          (i) no default after the expiration of notice or grace periods is then continuing
hereunder, under the Note or under any of the Other Security Documents;

          (ii) Borrower gives Lender written notice of the terms of such prospective Sale not
less than thirty (30) days before the date on which such Sale is scheduled to close and,
concurrently therewith, gives Lender all such information concerning the proposed transferee
of the Property (hereinafter, “Buyer”) as Lender would reasonably require in evaluating an
initial extension of credit to a borrower and pays to Lender a non-refundable application
fee in the amount of $2,500.00. Lender shall have the right to approve or disapprove the
proposed Buyer, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. In determining whether to
give or withhold its approval of the proposed Buyer, Lender shall consider the Buyer’s
experience and track record in owning and operating facilities similar to the Property, the
Buyer’s financial strength, the Buyer’s general business standing and the Buyer’s
relationships and experience with contractors, vendors, tenants, lenders and other business
entities; provided, however, that, notwithstanding Lender’s agreement to consider the
foregoing factors in determining whether to give or withhold such approval, such approval
shall be given or withheld based on what Lender determines to be commercially reasonable
and, if given, may be given subject to such conditions as Lender may deem reasonably
appropriate;

          (iii) Borrower pays Lender, concurrently with the closing of such Sale, a

Sale; and (b) in connection with each subsequent sale, an amount equal to one-half of one
percent (0.5%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Note. Borrower also pays,
concurrently with the closing of such Sale, all costs and expenses of all third parties and
Rating Agencies in connection with the Sale;

35

 

          (iv) Buyer assumes and agrees to pay the indebtedness secured hereby as and when due
subject to the provisions of Article 11 of the Note and, prior to or concurrently with the

financing statements or financing statement amendments and any additional documents
reasonably requested by Lender;

          (vi) Borrower delivers to Lender, without any cost or expense to Lender, such
endorsements to Lender’s title insurance policy, hazard insurance endorsements or
certificates and other similar materials as Lender may deem necessary at the time of the
Sale, all in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, including, without limitation, an
endorsement or endorsements to Lender’s title insurance policy insuring the lien of this
Security Instrument insuring that fee simple title to the Property is vested in the Buyer;

          (vii) Buyer shall furnish, if the Buyer is a corporation, partnership or other entity,
all appropriate papers evidencing the Buyer’s capacity and good standing, and the
qualification of the signers to execute the assumption of the indebtedness secured hereby,
which papers shall include certified copies of all documents relating to the organization
and formation of the Buyer and of the entities, if any, which are partners or members of the
Buyer. The Buyer and such constituent partners, members or shareholders of Buyer (as the
case may be), as Lender shall require, shall be single purpose, “bankruptcy remote” entities
which satisfy the requirements of Article 4 hereof and the requirements of the Rating
Agencies, and whose formation documents shall be approved by counsel to Lender.

(A) that the Buyer’s formation documents provide for the matters described in subparagraph
(vii) above, (B) that the assumption of the indebtedness evidenced hereby has been duly
authorized, executed and delivered, and that the Note, this Security Instrument, the
assumption agreement and the Other Security Documents are valid, binding and enforceable
against the Buyer in accordance with their terms, (C) that the Buyer and any entity which is
a controlling stockholder, member or general partner of Buyer, have been duly organized, and
are in existence and good standing, (D) if required by Lender, that the assets of the Buyer
will not be consolidated with the assets of any other entity having an interest in, or
affiliation with, the Buyer, in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of any such entity,
and (E) with respect to such other matters as Lender may reasonably request;

36

 

          (x) Lender shall have received confirmation in writing from the Rating Agencies that
rate the Securities or Participations (as defined in Section 18.1) to the effect that the
Sale will not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any rating initially
assigned or then currently assigned or to be assigned to the Securities or Participations,
as applicable; and

          (xi) Borrower’s obligations under the contract of sale pursuant to which the Sale is
proposed to occur shall expressly be subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions
of this Section 8.4.

     Section 8.5 Permitted Subordinate Debt.

          (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Article 8 to the contrary, nothing contained in this

to Lender.

          (vi) The combined Debt Service Coverage Ratio, as determined by Lender, of the Loan and
the Permitted Subordinate Debt shall be equal to or greater than 1.10:1.

          (vii) Lender and Subordinate Lender shall have entered into Lender’s Subordination and
Standstill Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

          (viii) The Permitted Subordinate Debt shall either be unsecured or secured by a pledge

indirectly own partnership interests in Borrower, but in no event shall the Permitted
Subordinate Debt be secured by a lien on the Property or direct

37

 

general partnership interests in the Borrower or otherwise encumber or result in any
lien or charge upon or against the Property or the rents derived therefrom.

          (ix) The Permitted Subordinate Debt and the performance of the obligations of the

Permitted Subordinate Debt issued in connection with such transfer or creation of Securities
pursuant to Article 18.

the business thereat; (ii) complete any construction on the Property in such manner and form as
Lender deems advisable; (iii) make alterations, additions, renewals, replacements and improvements
to or on the Property; (iv) exercise all rights and powers of Borrower with respect to the
Property, whether in the name of Borrower or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to
make, cancel, enforce or modify Leases, obtain and evict tenants, and demand, sue for, collect and
receive all Rents of the Property and every part thereof; (v) require Borrower to pay monthly in
advance to Lender, or any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, the fair and reasonable rental
value for the use and occupation of such part of the Property as may be occupied by Borrower; (vi)
require Borrower to vacate and surrender possession of the Property to Lender or to such receiver
and, in default thereof, Borrower may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise; and (vii)
apply the receipts from the Property to the payment of the Debt, in such order, priority and
proportions as Lender shall deem appropriate in its sole discretion after deducting therefrom all
expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the aforesaid
operations and all amounts necessary to pay the Taxes, Other Charges, insurance and other expenses
in connection with the Property, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of
Lender, its counsel, agents and employees;

          (i) exercise any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the
Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) the right
to take possession of the Personal Property or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as
Lender or Trustee may deem necessary for the care, protection and

41

 

preservation of the Personal Property, and (ii) request Borrower at its expense to assemble
the Personal Property and make it available to Lender at a convenient place acceptable to Lender.
Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Lender or Trustee with respect to the
Personal Property sent to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof at least five (5) days
prior to such action, shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Borrower;

          (j) apply any sums then deposited in the Escrow Fund and any other sums held in escrow or
otherwise by Lender in accordance with the terms of this Security Instrument or any Other Security
Document to the payment of the following items in any order in its sole discretion: (i) Taxes and

          (k) surrender the Policies maintained pursuant to Article 3 hereof, collect the unearned
Insurance Premiums and apply such sums as a credit on the Debt in such priority and proportion as
Lender in its discretion shall deem proper, and in connection therewith, Borrower hereby appoints
Lender as agent and attorney-in-fact (which is coupled with an interest and is therefore
irrevocable) for Borrower to collect such Insurance Premiums;

          (l) apply the undisbursed balance of any Net Proceeds Deficiency deposit, together with
interest thereon, to the payment of the Debt in such order, priority and proportions as Lender
shall deem to be appropriate in its discretion; or

          (m) pursue such other remedies as Lender may have under applicable law.

In the event of a sale, by foreclosure, power of sale, or otherwise, of less than all of the
Property, this Security Instrument shall continue as a lien and security interest on the remaining
portion of the Property unimpaired and without loss of priority. Notwithstanding the provisions of
this Section 11.1 to the contrary, if any Event of Default as described in clause (i) or (ii) of
Subsection 10.1(f) shall occur, the entire unpaid Debt shall be automatically due and payable,
without any further notice, demand or other action by Lender.

     Section 11.2 Application of Proceeds. The purchase money, proceeds and avails of any
disposition of the Property, or any part thereof, or any other sums collected by Lender pursuant to
the Note, this Security Instrument or the Other Security Documents, may be applied by Lender to the
payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper.

     Section 11.3 Right to Cure Defaults. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
any Event of Default or if Borrower fails to make any payment or to do any act as herein provided,
Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and
without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder, make or do the same in such manner and to
such extent as Lender may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Lender or Trustee is
authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action
or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property or to foreclose this

42

 

Security Instrument or collect the Debt. The cost and expense of any cure hereunder (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this
Section 11.3, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon
demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender or Trustee in remedying such Event of
Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any such action or
proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note), for the period after
notice from Lender that such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Lender. All
such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default
Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by this Security Instrument
and the Other Security Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender
therefor.

     Section 11.4 Actions and Proceedings. Lender or Trustee has the right to appear in and
defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Property and, after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, to bring any action or proceeding, in the name and
on behalf of Borrower, which Lender, in its discretion, decides should be brought to protect its
interest in the Property.

     Section 11.5 Recovery of Sums Required To Be Paid. Lender shall have the right from
time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which constitute a part of the Debt as the
same become due, without regard to whether or not the balance of the Debt shall be due, and without
prejudice to the right of Lender or Trustee thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any
other action, for a default or defaults by Borrower existing at the time such earlier action was
commenced.

     Section 11.6 Examination of Books and Records. Lender, its agents, accountants and
attorneys shall have the right, upon prior written notice to Borrower if no Event of Default
exists, to examine and audit, during reasonable business hours, the records, books, management and
other papers of Borrower and its affiliates or of any Guarantor or Indemnitor which pertain to
their financial condition or the income, expenses and operation of the Property, at the Property or
at any office regularly maintained by Borrower, its affiliates or any Guarantor or Indemnitor where
the books and records are located. Lender and its agents shall have the right to make copies and
extracts from the foregoing records and other papers.

     Section 11.7 Other Rights, Etc.

          (a) The failure of Lender or Trustee to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof
shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Security Instrument. Borrower shall not be
relieved of Borrower’s obligations hereunder by reason of (i) the failure of Lender or Trustee to
comply with any request of Borrower, any Guarantor or any Indemnitor to take any action to
foreclose this Security Instrument or otherwise enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the Note
or the Other Security Documents, (ii) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any
part of the Property, or of any person liable for the Debt or any portion thereof, or (iii) any
agreement or stipulation by Lender extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or
supplementing the terms of the Note, this Security Instrument or the Other Security Documents.

43

 

          (b) It is agreed that the risk of loss or damage to the Property is on Borrower, and Lender
shall have no liability whatsoever for decline in value of the Property, for failure to maintain
the Policies, or for failure to determine whether insurance in force is adequate as to the amount
of risks insured. Possession by Lender shall not be deemed an election of judicial relief, if any
such possession is requested or obtained, with respect to any Property or collateral not in
Lender’s possession.

          (c) Lender may resort for the payment of the Debt to any other security held by Lender in such
order and manner as Lender, in its discretion, may elect. Lender or Trustee may take action to
recover the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to
the right of Lender or Trustee thereafter to foreclose this Security Instrument. The rights of
Lender or Trustee under this Security Instrument shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and
none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Lender or Trustee shall be
construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other
provision. Neither Lender nor Trustee shall be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies
herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or
in equity.

     Section 11.8 Right to Release Any Portion of the Property. Lender may release any
portion of the Property for such consideration as Lender may require without, as to the remainder
of the Property, in any way impairing or affecting the lien or priority of this Security
Instrument, or improving the position of any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto, except to
the extent that the obligations hereunder shall have been reduced by the actual monetary
consideration, if any, received by Lender for such release, and may accept by assignment, pledge or
otherwise any other property in place thereof as Lender may require without being accountable for
so doing to any other lienholder. This Security Instrument shall continue as a lien and security
interest in the remaining portion of the Property.

     Section 11.9 Violation of Laws. If the Property is not in compliance with Applicable
Laws, Lender may impose additional requirements upon Borrower in connection herewith including,
without limitation, monetary reserves or financial equivalents.

     Section 11.10 Right of Entry. Lender and its agents shall have the right to enter and
inspect the Property at all reasonable times.

     Section 11.11 Subrogation. If any or all of the proceeds of the Note have been used to
extinguish, extend or renew any indebtedness heretofore existing against the Property, then, to the
extent of the funds so used, Lender shall be subrogated to all of the rights, claims, liens,
titles, and interests existing against the Property heretofore held by, or in favor of, the holder
of such indebtedness and such former rights, claims, liens, titles, and interests, if any, are not
waived but rather are continued in full force and effect in favor of Lender and are merged with the
lien and security interest created herein as cumulative security for the repayment of the Debt, the
performance and discharge of Borrower’s obligations hereunder, under the Note and the Other
Security Documents and the performance and discharge of the Other Obligations.

involve Trustee in any expense or liability or to institute or defend any suit in respect hereof,
unless properly indemnified to Trustee’s reasonable satisfaction. Trustee, by acceptance of this

however, only for gross negligence or willful misconduct, and hereby waives any statutory fee and

and appoint a successor trustee, by an instrument recorded wherever this Security Instrument is
recorded and all powers, rights, duties and authority of Trustee, as aforesaid, shall thereupon
become vested in such successor. Such substitute trustee shall not be required to give

52

 

bond for the faithful performance of the duties of Trustee hereunder unless required by
Lender. The procedure provided for in this paragraph for substitution of Trustee shall be in
addition to and not in exclusion of any other provisions for substitution, by law or otherwise.

     Section 22.2 Trustee’s Fees. Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs, fees and
expenses incurred by Trustee and Trustee’s agents and counsel in connection with the performance by
Trustee of Trustee’s duties hereunder and all such costs, fees and expenses shall be secured by
this Security Instrument.

     Section 22.3 Certain Rights. With the approval of Lender, Trustee shall have the right
to take any and all of the following actions: (i) to select, employ, and advise with counsel (who
may be, but need not be, counsel for Lender) upon any matters arising hereunder, including the
preparation, execution, and interpretation of the Note, this Security Instrument or the Other
Security Documents, and shall be fully protected in relying as to legal matters on the advice of
counsel, (ii) to execute any of the trusts and powers hereof and to perform any duty hereunder
either directly or through his/her agents or attorneys, (iii) to select and employ, in and about
the execution of his/her duties hereunder, suitable accountants, engineers and other experts,
agents and attorneys-in-fact, either corporate or individual, not regularly in the employ of
Trustee, and Trustee shall not be answerable for any act, default, negligence, or misconduct of any
such accountant, engineer or other expert, agent or attorney-in-fact, if selected with reasonable
care, or for any error of judgment or act done by Trustee in good faith, or be otherwise
responsible or accountable under any circumstances whatsoever, except for Trustee’s gross
negligence or bad faith, and (iv) any and all other lawful action as Lender may instruct Trustee to
take to protect or enforce Lender’s rights hereunder. Trustee shall not be personally liable in
case of entry by Trustee, or anyone entering by virtue of the powers herein granted to Trustee,
upon the Property for debts contracted for or liability or damages incurred in the management or
operation of the Property. Trustee shall have the right to rely on any instrument, document, or
signature authorizing or supporting an action taken or proposed to be taken by Trustee hereunder,
believed by Trustee in good faith to be genuine. Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement for
actual expenses incurred by Trustee in the performance of Trustee’s duties hereunder and to
reasonable compensation for such of Trustee’s services hereunder as shall be rendered.

     Section 22.4 Retention of Money. All moneys received by Trustee shall, until used or
applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but
need not be segregated in any manner from any other moneys (except to the extent required by
applicable law) and Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by
Trustee hereunder.

     Section 22.5 Perfection of Appointment. Should any deed, conveyance, or instrument of
any nature be required from Borrower by any Trustee or substitute trustee to more fully and
certainly vest in and confirm to the Trustee or substitute trustee such estates rights, powers, and
duties, then, upon request by the Trustee or substitute trustee, any and all such deeds,
conveyances and instruments shall be made, executed, acknowledged, and delivered and shall be
caused to be recorded and/or filed by Borrower.

     Section 22.6 Succession Instruments. Any substitute trustee appointed pursuant to any
of the provisions hereof shall, without any further act, deed, or conveyance, become vested with

53

 

all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and trusts of its or his/her predecessor in the
rights hereunder with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein; but nevertheless, upon
the written request of Lender or of the substitute trustee, the Trustee ceasing to act shall
execute and deliver any instrument transferring to such substitute trustee, upon the trusts herein
expressed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and trusts of the Trustee so ceasing to
act, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver any of the property and moneys held by such
Trustee to the substitute trustee so appointed in the Trustee’s place.

Article 23. Special Texas Provisions

     Section 23.1 Acceleration; Remedies. Lender shall give notice to Borrower prior to
acceleration following Borrower’s breach of any covenant or agreement in this Security Instrument.
The notice shall specify: (a) the default; (b) the action required to cure the default; (c) the
date by which the default must be cured; and (d) that failure to cure the default on or before the
date specified in the notice will result in acceleration of the sums secured by this Security
Instrument and sale of the Property. If the default is not cured on or before the date specified in
the notice, Lender at its option may require immediate payment in full of all sums secured by this
Security Instrument without further demand and may invoke the power of sale and any other remedies
permitted by applicable law. Lender shall be entitled to collect all expenses incurred in pursuing
the remedies provided in this Section 23.1, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’
fees in the amount allowable under applicable state law and costs of title evidence.

          If Lender invokes the power of sale, Lender or Trustee shall give notice of the time, place
and terms of sale by posting and filing the notice at least 21 days prior to sale as provided by
applicable law. Lender shall mail a copy of the notice of sale to Borrower and to each person who
is obligated to pay the Debt in the manner prescribed by applicable law. The affidavit of any
person having knowledge of the facts to the effect that required notices were posted, filed or
mailed will be prima facie evidence of the facts recited in the affidavit. The sale shall be a
public sale at auction held between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on the first Tuesday of the
month. Borrower authorizes Trustee to sell the Property to the highest bidder for cash in one or
more parcels and in any order Trustee determines. Lender or its designee may purchase the Property
at any sale.

          Trustee shall deliver to the purchaser Trustee’s deed conveying indefeasible title to the
Property with covenants of general warranty. Borrower covenants and agrees to defend generally the
purchaser’s title to the Property against all claims and demands. The recitals in the Trustee’s
deed shall be prima facie evidence of the truth of the statements made therein. At any time before
the sale, Lender may direct Trustee to abandon the sale and may at any time thereafter direct
Trustee to again commence foreclosure. Whether or not foreclosure is commenced by Trustee, Lender
may at any time after an event of Default occurs, institute suit for collection of all or any part
of the Debt or foreclosure of the lien of this Security Instrument or both. If Lender institutes
suit for collection of the Debt and foreclosure of the lien of this Security Instrument, Lender may
at any time before the entry of final judgment dismiss the same and require Trustee to sell the
Property in accordance with the provisions of this Security Instrument. No single sale or series of
sales under this Security Instrument or by judicial foreclosure will extinguish the lien or exhaust
the power of sale under this Deed of Trust except

54

 

with respect to the items of property sold. Trustee shall apply the proceeds of the sale in
the following order: (a) to all expenses of the sale, including, but not limited to, reasonable
Trustee’s and attorneys’ fees in the amount allowable under applicable state law; (b) to all sums
secured by this Security Instrument; and (c) any excess to the person or persons legally entitled
to it. If the Property is sold pursuant to this Section 23.1, Borrower or any person holding
possession of the Property through Borrower shall immediately surrender possession of the Property
to the purchaser at that sale. If possession is not surrendered, Borrower or such person shall be a
tenant at sufferance and may be removed by writ of possession.

     Section 23.2 Waiver of Notice of Intention to Accelerate. Borrower waives the right to
notice of default, notice of intention to accelerate or notice of intention to require immediate
payment in full of all sums secured by this Security Instrument except as provided in Section 23.1.

     Section 23.3 Release. Upon payment of all sums secured by this Security Instrument,
Lender shall release this Security Instrument. Borrower shall pay any recordation costs.

     Section 23.4 NOTICE OF FINAL AGREEMENT. THIS SECURITY INSTRUMENT TOGETHER WITH THE
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED
BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO
UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

     Section 23.5 TEXAS FINANCE CODE 307.052 COLLATERAL PROTECTION INSURANCE NOTICE. (A)
BORROWER IS REQUIRED TO: (i) KEEP THE COLLATERAL INSURED AGAINST DAMAGE IN THE AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE
BORROWER’S INDEBTEDNESS TO LENDER; (ii) PURCHASE THE INSURANCE FROM AN INSURER THAT IS AUTHORIZED
TO DO BUSINESS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS OR AN ELIGIBLE SURPLUS LINES INSURER; AND (iii) NAME LENDER AS
THE PERSON TO BE PAID UNDER THE POLICY IN THE EVENT OF LOSS; (B) BORROWER MUST, IF REQUIRED BY
LENDER, DELIVER TO LENDER A COPY OF THE POLICY AND PROOF OF THE PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS; AND (C) IF
BORROWER FAILS TO MEET ANY REQUIREMENT LISTED IN CLAUSE (A) OR (B) ABOVE, LENDER MAY OBTAIN
COLLATERAL PROTECTION INSURANCE ON BEHALF OF BORROWER AT BORROWER’S EXPENSE.

PROMISSORY NOTE

(Fixed — Yield Maintenance/Hyperamortization)

$15,675,000.00

Houston, Texas

December 12, 2005

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED AMREIT LAKE HOUSTON, LP, a Texas limited partnership, as maker, having its
principal place of business at 8 Greenway Plaza, Suite 1000, Houston, Texas 77046 (“Borrower”),
hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of MORGAN STANLEY MORTGAGE CAPITAL INC., a New
York corporation, as payee, having an address at 1221 Avenue of the Americas, 27th Floor, New York,
New York 10020 (“Lender”), or at such other place as the holder hereof may from time to time
designate in writing, the principal sum of FIFTEEN MILLION SIX HUNDRED SEVENTY-FIVE THOUSAND AND
NO/100 DOLLARS ($15,675,000.00), in lawful money of the United States of America with interest
thereon to be computed from the date of this Note at the Applicable Interest Rate (defined below)
in accordance with the terms of this Note.

ARTICLE 1: Payment Terms

	 	 	Borrower agrees to pay sums under this Note in installments as follows:

     (a) on the date hereof, a payment of interest only with respect to the period
commencing on the date hereof and ending on, and including, the last day of the month in which
this Note is executed;

     (b) beginning on the first day of February, 2006 and on the first day of each
calendar month thereafter (each a “Payment Date”) up to and including the first day of January, 2016
(the “Anticipated Repayment Date”) payments of interest only based on the Applicable Interest Rate
(as defined below) accrued on the outstanding principal balance;

     (c) (i) a constant payment of Ninety One Thousand Four Hundred Seventy-Five and
No/100 Dollars ($91,475.10) on the first day of each calendar month following the Anticipated
Repayment Date up to and including the first day of December, 2035; each of the payments to be
applied as follows: (A) first, to the payment of interest (without adjustment for Accrued Interest
(defined below)) computed at the Initial Interest Rate; and (B) the balance toward the reduction of
the principal balance; and

          (ii) a payment of an amount equal to the Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the certain Cash
Management Agreement (the “Cash Management Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof, by and among
Borrower, Amreit Realty Investment Corporation, and Lender) for the preceding month, to be applied
toward the reduction of the principal balance; and

     (d) the balance of the principal sum and all interest thereon (including, without
limitation, all Accrued Interest) on January 1, 2036 (the “Maturity Date”).

 

 

ARTICLE 2: Interest

     The term “Applicable Interest Rate” as used in this Note shall mean (a) from the date hereof
through and including the day immediately prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date, a rate of
interest equal to five and seventy-five hundredths percent (5.75%) per annum (the “Initial Interest
Rate”), and (b) from the Anticipated Repayment Date through and including the Maturity Date, a rate
of interest (the “Adjusted Interest Rate”) equal to five percentage points (5.0%) above the greater
of (i) the Initial Interest Rate or (ii) the Treasury Rate. “Treasury Rate” shall mean the yield
calculated by the linear interpolation of the yields, as reported in Federal Reserve Statistical
Release H.15-Se1ected Interest Rates under the heading U.S. government securities/Treasury constant
maturities for the week ending prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date, of U.S. Treasury constant
maturities with maturity dates (one longer and one shorter) most nearly approximating the Maturity
Date. In the event Release H.15 is no longer published, Lender shall select a comparable
publication to determine the Treasury Rate. Lender shall notify Borrower of the amount and the
basis of determination of the Adjusted Interest Rate, which shall be conclusive and binding on
Borrower absent manifest error.

     Interest on the principal sum of this Note shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual
number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate
based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year (that is, the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default
Rate, as then applicable, divided by 360) by (c) the outstanding principal balance.

     Interest due on the outstanding principal balance computed at the Adjusted Interest Rate and
not paid pursuant to paragraph (c) of Article 1 above (“Accrued Interest”) shall be added to the
outstanding principal balance and shall earn interest at the Adjusted Interest Rate, to the extent
permitted by applicable law.

ARTICLE 3: Default and Acceleration

     Borrower covenants and agrees that if (a) any payment required hereunder (other than the payment
due on the Maturity Date) is not paid prior to the fifth (5th) day after the same is due, or (b)
the entire Debt (defined below) is not paid on or before the Maturity Date or (c) any other Event
of Default (as defined in the Security Instrument (defined below)) shall continue to exist after
giving effect to all applicable grace periods, then at the option of Lender (i) the whole of the
principal sum of this Note, (ii) interest, default interest, late charges and other sums, as
provided in this Note, the Security Instrument or the Other Security Documents (as defined in the
Security Instrument), (iii) all other monies agreed or provided to be paid by Borrower in this
Note, the Security Instrument or the Other Security Documents, (iv) all sums advanced pursuant to
the Security Instrument to protect and preserve the Property (defined below) and the lien and the
security interest created thereby, and (v) all sums advanced and costs and expenses incurred by
Lender in connection with the Debt or any part thereof, any renewal, extension, or change of or
substitution for the Debt or any part thereof, or the acquisition or perfection of the security
therefor, whether made or incurred at the request of Borrower or Lender (all the sums referred to
in (i) through (v) above shall collectively be referred to as the “Debt”) shall without notice
become immediately due and payable. Whenever any payment to be made under this Note, the Security
Instrument or under any Other Security Document shall be stated to be due on a day
which is not a Business Day (hereinafter defined), the due date thereof shall be the Business
Day immediately preceding such day. For purposes hereof, the term “Business Day” shall mean any day
other than a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which banks in New York, New York are not open
for business.

ARTICLE 4: Default Interest

     Borrower agrees that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall be entitled to
receive and Borrower shall pay interest on the entire unpaid principal sum at a per annum rate
equal to the lesser of (a) five percent (5%) plus the Applicable Interest Rate or (b) the maximum
interest rate which Borrower may by law pay (the “Default Rate”). The Default Rate shall be
computed from the occurrence of the default giving rise to such Event of Default (without regard to
any notice or grace period) until the earlier of the date upon which the Event of Default is cured
or the date upon which the Debt is paid in full. Interest calculated at the Default Rate shall be
deemed part of the Debt, and shall be deemed secured by the Security Instrument. This clause,
however, shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of
the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the
occurrence of any Event of Default.

ARTICLE 5: Late Charge

     If any monthly installment payable under this Note is not paid prior to the fifth (5th) day
after the applicable Payment Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the
lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law to
defray the expenses incurred by Lender in handling and processing the delinquent payment and to
compensate Lender for the loss of the use of the delinquent payment and the amount shall be secured
by the Security Instrument and the Other Security Documents.

ARTICLE 6: Prepayment

     (a) The principal balance of this Note may not be prepaid in whole or in part prior to the
earlier of the second annual anniversary of the securitization of the Loan or the beginning of the
sixth Loan Year (defined below). At any time after the earlier of the second annual anniversary of
the securitization of the Loan or the beginning of the sixth Loan Year, the principal balance of
this Note may be prepaid in whole, but not in part, upon not less than sixty (60) days prior
written notice to Lender specifying the date on which prepayment is to be made (the “Prepayment
Date”) which date must be a Payment Date and upon payment of:

          (i) all accrued interest to and including the Prepayment Date;

          (ii) all other sums due under this Note, the Security Instrument and all Other
Security Documents; and

          (iii) the Prepayment Consideration (defined below).

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, provided no Event of Default exists, in the
event of any prepayment which occurs (i) in whole during the four (4) months prior to the
Anticipated Repayment Date or (ii) in whole or in part in connection with a prepayment resulting
from the application of insurance proceeds or condemnation awards pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 3.6
of the Security Instrument or changes in tax and debt credit pursuant to Section 7.3 (a) or (b) of
the Security Instrument, no Prepayment Consideration shall be due in connection therewith, but in
each instance Borrower shall be required to pay all other sums due hereunder, and no principal
amount repaid may be reborrowed.

     (b) The
Prepayment Consideration shall equal an amount equal to the greater of (i)
one percent (1%) of the principal balance of this Note being prepaid, or (ii) the product of (A)
the ratio of the amount of the principal balance of this Note being prepaid (after subtracting the
scheduled principal payment on such Prepayment Date) over the outstanding principal balance of this
Note on the Prepayment Date (after

3

 

subtracting the scheduled principal payment on such Prepayment Date), multiplied by (B) the
present value as of the Prepayment Date of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and
interest from the Prepayment Date through the Anticipated Repayment Date (including any balloon
payment) determined by discounting such payments at the Discount Rate (as hereinafter defined) less
the amount of the outstanding principal balance of this Note on the Prepayment Date (after
subtracting the scheduled principal payment on such Prepayment Date). The “Discount Rate” is the
rate which, when compounded monthly, is equivalent to the Treasury Rate (as hereinafter defined),
when compounded semiannually. The “Treasury Rate” is the yield calculated by the linear
interpolation of the yields, as reported in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15-Selected
Interest Rates under the heading U.S. government securities/Treasury constant maturities for the
week ending prior to the Prepayment Date, of U.S. Treasury constant maturities with maturity dates
(one longer and one shorter) most nearly approximating the Anticipated Repayment Date. (In the
event Release H.15 is no longer published, Lender shall select a comparable publication to
determine the Treasury Rate.) Lender shall notify Borrower of the amount and the basis of
determination of the required prepayment consideration.

     (c) “Loan Year” as used in this Note shall mean each 365 or 366, if applicable,
day period after the first day of the first calendar month after the date of this Note (or the date
of this Note if it is dated the first day of a calendar month).

     (d) If any notice of prepayment is given under this Article 6, the principal
balance of this Note and the other sums required under this prepayment section shall be due and
payable on the Prepayment Date. Lender shall not be obligated to accept any prepayment of the
principal balance of this Note unless it is accompanied by all sums due in connection therewith.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 6 to the contrary, provided no Event of Default
exists, no Prepayment Consideration shall be due in connection with a complete or partial
prepayment resulting from the application of insurance proceeds or condemnation awards pursuant to
Sections 3.3 and 3.6 of the Security Instrument or changes in tax and debt credit pursuant to
Section 7.3(a) or (b) of the Security Instrument, but Borrower shall be required to pay all other
sums due hereunder.

     (e) If a Default Prepayment (defined below) occurs, Borrower shall pay to Lender
the entire Debt, including, without limitation, the following amounts:

          (i) if the Default Prepayment occurs prior to the time when prepayment of the
principal balance of this Note is permitted, an amount equal to the sum of (A) the present value of
the interest payments which would have accrued on the principal balance of this Note (outstanding
as of the date of such Default Prepayment) at the Applicable Interest Rate from the date of such
Default Prepayment to the first date prepayment is permitted pursuant to this Note discounted at a
rate equal to the Treasury Rate except that such Treasury Rate shall be based on the U.S. Treasury
constant maturity most nearly approximating the date upon which prepayment is first permitted
pursuant to this Note, and (B) the Prepayment Consideration calculated as of the first date
prepayment is permitted pursuant to this Note; and

          (ii) if the Default Prepayment occurs at a time when prepayment of the principal
balance of this Note is permitted, the Prepayment Consideration.

     For purposes of this Note, the term “Default Prepayment” shall mean a prepayment of the
principal amount of this Note made after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default or an acceleration of the Maturity Date under any circumstances, including, without
limitation, a prepayment occurring in connection with reinstatement of the Security Instrument
provided by statute under foreclosure proceedings or exercise of a power of sale, any statutory
right of redemption exercised by Borrower or any other party having a statutory right to redeem or
prevent foreclosure, any sale in foreclosure or under exercise of a power of sale or otherwise.

ARTICLE 7: Security

     This Note is secured by that certain Deed of Trust and Security Agreement dated the date
hereof in the principal sum of $15,675,000 given by Borrower to (or for the benefit of) Lender
covering the fee simple estate of Borrower in certain premises located in Harris County, State of
Texas, and other property, as more particularly described therein (collectively, the “Property”)
and intended to be duly recorded in said County (the “Security Instrument”), and by the Other
Security Documents.

ARTICLE 8: Loan Charges

     (a) This Note, the Security Instrument and the Other Security Documents are
subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on
the principal balance due hereunder at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or
criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower is
permitted by applicable law to contract or agree to pay. If by the terms of this Note, the Security
Instrument and the Other Security Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay
interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the
Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate or any other consideration that constitutes interest
under applicable law, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum
rate and all previous payments in excess of the maximum rate shall be deemed to have been payments
in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed
to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Debt, shall, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full
stated term of the Note until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of
the Debt does not exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate (as defined below) of interest from time to time
in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is outstanding.

     (b) It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Lender
at all times to comply strictly with the applicable Texas law governing the maximum rate or amount
of interest payable on this Note (or applicable United Stated federal law to the extent that it
permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than
under Texas law). If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any
amount (i) contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received pursuant to this Note, any of the
other Loan Documents or any other communications or writing by or between Borrower and Lender
related to the transaction or transactions that are the subject matter of the Loan Documents, (ii)
contracted for, charged or received by reason of Lender’s exercise of the option to accelerate the
maturity of this Note, or (iii) Borrower will have paid or Lender will have received by reason of
any voluntary prepayment by Borrower of this Note, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express
intent that all amounts charged in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate shall be automatically
cancelled, ab initio, and all amounts in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate theretofore
collected by Lender shall be credited on the principal balance of this Note (or, if this Note has
been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of this Note and
the other Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible
hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as
to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise
called for hereunder and thereunder; provided, however, if this Note has been paid in full before
the end of the stated term of this Note, then Borrower and Lender agree that Lender shall, with
reasonable promptness after Lender discovers or is advised by Borrower that interest was received
in an amount in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, either refund such excess interest to Borrower
and/or credit such excess interest against this Note then owing by borrower to Lender. In no event
shall the provisions of Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving
credit loan accounts and revolving triparty accounts) apply to this Note. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of
Lender to

5

 

accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration
or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.

     (c) As used herein, the term “Maximum Lawful Rate” shall mean the maximum
lawful rate of interest which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by Lender
in accordance with the applicable laws of the State of Texas (or applicable United States federal
law to the extent that it permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a
greater amount of interest than under Texas law), taking into account all Charges (as herein
defined) made in connection with the transaction evidenced by this Note and the other Loan
Documents. As used herein, the term “Charges” shall mean all fees, charges and/or any other
things of value, if any, contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by Lender in
connection with the transactions relating to this Note and the other Loan Documents, which are
treated as interest under applicable law.

     (d) To the extent that Lender is relying on Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code
to determine the Maximum Lawful Rate payable on this Note, Lender will utilize the weekly ceiling
from time to time in effect as provided in such Chapter 303, as amended. To the extent United
States federal law permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater
amount of interest than under Texas law, Lender will rely on United States federal law instead of
such Chapter 303 for the purpose of determining the Maximum Lawful Rate. Additionally, to the
extent permitted by applicable law now or hereafter in effect, Lender may, at its option and from
time to time, utilize any other method of establishing the Maximum Lawful Rate under such Chapter
303 or under other applicable law by giving notice, if required, to Borrower as provided by
applicable law now or hereafter in effect.

ARTICLE 9: Waivers

     Borrower and all others who may become liable for the payment of all or any part of the Debt
do hereby severally waive presentment and demand for payment, notice of dishonor, protest and
notice of protest and non-payment and all other notices of any kind, except for notices expressly
provided for in this Note, the Security Instrument or the Other Security Documents. No release of
any security for the Debt or extension of time for payment of this Note or any installment
hereof, and no alteration, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Note, the Security
Instrument or the Other Security Documents made by agreement between Lender or any other person or
party shall release, modify, amend, waive, extend, change, discharge, terminate or affect the
liability of Borrower, and any other person or entity who may become liable for the payment of all
or any part of the Debt, under this Note, the Security Instrument or the Other Security Documents.
No notice to or demand on Borrower shall be deemed to be a waiver of the obligation of Borrower or
of the right of Lender to take further action without farther notice or demand as provided for in
this Note, the Security Instrument or the Other Security Documents. If Borrower is a partnership,
corporation or limited liability company, the agreements contained herein shall remain in full
force and effect, notwithstanding any changes in the individuals or entities comprising Borrower,
and the term “Borrower,” as used herein, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, include
any alternate or successor entity, but any predecessor entity, and its partners or members, as the
case may be, shall not thereby be released from any liability incurred prior to the date of such
change. (Nothing in the foregoing sentence shall be construed as a consent to, or a waiver of, any
prohibition or restriction on transfers if interests in Borrower which may be set forth in the
Security Instrument or any Other Security Document.)

ARTICLE 10: Waiver of Trial By Jury

     BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN
ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, RELATING DIRECTLY
OR INDIRECTLY TO THE LOAN EVIDENCED BY THIS NOTE, THE APPLICATION FOR THE LOAN EVIDENCED BY THIS
NOTE, THIS NOTE, THE SECURITY INSTRUMENT OR THE OTHER SECURITY DOCUMENTS OR ANY ACTS OR OMISSIONS
OF LENDER, ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, DIRECTORS OR AGENTS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.

ARTICLE 11: Exculpation

     (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, the Security
Instrument or any Other Security Document (but subject to the provisions of subsections (b), (c)
and (d) of this Article 11), Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to
perform and observe the obligations contained in this Note or the Security Instrument by any action
or proceeding wherein a money judgment or any deficiency judgment or other judgment establishing
any personal liability shall be sought against Borrower or any principal, director, officer,
employee, beneficiary, shareholder, partner, member, trustee, agent or affiliate of Borrower or any
person owning, directly or indirectly, any legal or beneficial interest in Borrower, or any
successors or assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Exculpated Parties”), except that
Lender may bring a foreclosure action, action for specific performance or other appropriate action
or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon this Note, the Security Instrument, the
Other Security Documents, and the interest in the Property, the Rents (as defined in the Security
Instrument) and any other collateral given to Lender to secure this Note; provided, however,
subject to the provisions of subsections (b), (c) and (d) of this Article 11, that any judgment in
any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of
Borrower’s interest in the Property, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Lender to
secure this Note. Lender, by accepting this Note and the Security Instrument, agrees that it shall
not, except as otherwise provided in this Article 11, sue for, seek or demand any deficiency
judgment against Borrower or any of the Exculpated Parties, in any such action or proceeding, under
or by reason of or under or in connection with this Note, the Security Instrument or the Other
Security Documents. The provisions of this Article 11 shall not, however, (i) constitute a waiver,
release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by this Note, the Security Instrument
or the Other Security Documents delivered to Lender; (ii) impair the right of Lender to name
Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for judicial foreclosure and sale under the
Security Instrument; (iii) affect the validity or enforceability of any indemnity, guaranty, master
lease or similar instrument made in connection with this Note, the Security Instrument, or the
Other Security Documents; (iv) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver;
(v) impair the enforcement of the Assignment of Leases and Rents executed in connection herewith;
(vi) impair the right of Lender to enforce the provisions of Section 12.2 of the Security
Instrument or of Section 3.12(e) of the Security Instrument; or (vii) impair the right of Lender to
obtain a deficiency judgment or other judgment on the Note against Borrower if necessary to fully
realize the security granted by the Security Instrument or to commence any other appropriate action
or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against the Property.

     (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article II to the contrary, Borrower
shall be personally liable to Lender for the Losses (as defined in the Security Instrument) Lender
incurs due to: (i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower or any of the Exculpated
Parties in connection with the Loan; (ii) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Borrower;
(iii) the removal or disposal of any portion of the Property after an Event of Default; (iv)
Borrower’s misapplication, misappropriation or conversion of Rents received by Borrower after the
occurrence of an Event of Default; (v) Borrower’s misapplication, misappropriation or conversion of
tenant security deposits or Rents collected more than one

7

 

(1) month in advance which are not delivered to Lender for application to the Loan; (vi) the
misapplication, misappropriation or conversion of insurance proceeds or condemnation awards; (vii)
Personal Property (as defined in the Security Instrument) of the Borrower taken from the Property by or
on behalf of Borrower or any of the Exculpated Parties and not replaced with Personal Property of
the same utility and of the same or greater value; (viii) any act of arson by Borrower or any of
the Exculpated Parties; (ix) any fees or commissions paid by Borrower after the occurrence of an
Event of Default to any Exculpated Party in violation of the terms of this Note, the Security
Instrument or the Other Security Documents; (x) failure to pay charges for labor or materials or
other charges that can create liens on any portion of the Property; (xi) any security deposits,
advance deposits or any other deposits collected under leases with respect to the Property not
being delivered to Lender upon a foreclosure of the Property or action in lieu thereof, except to
the extent any such security deposits were applied in accordance with the
terms and conditions of the applicable Leases (as defined in the Security Instrument) prior to the
occurrence of the Event of Default that gave rise to such foreclosure or action in lieu thereof;
(xii) any failure by Borrower to permit on-site inspections of the Property as required by the
Security Instrument and/or the Other Security Documents; (xiii) any failure of Borrower to appoint
a new property manager upon the request of Lender as required by the terms of the Security
Instrument and/or the Other Security Documents; (xiv) Borrower’s material breach of, or failure to
comply with, the representations, warranties and covenants contained in Articles 5.8(b), 5.19
and/or 12 of the Security Instrument; (xv) Borrower’s failure to provide financial information to
Lender as required by Section 3.12 of the Security Instrument; and/or (xvi) any failure by Borrower
to comply with any provisions of Section 4.2 (e), (f), (g), (i), (j), (k), (m), (n), (o), (p), (q),
(r), (s), (t), (u), (v), (w), (x), (y), (z), (aa), (bb), (cc), (dd), (ee), (ff), (gg), (hh), or
(ii) of the Security Instrument.

     (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the agreement of Lender not to pursue recourse
liability against Borrower as set forth in subsection (a) above as to Borrower SHALL BECOME NULL
AND VOID and shall be of no further force and effect and the Debt shall be fully recourse to
Borrower in the event that: (1) the first full monthly payment of principal and interest under this
Note is not paid when due; (ii) Borrower fails to comply with any provision of Section 4.2 (a),
(b), (c), (d), (h) and (aa) of the Security Instrument; (iii) Borrower defaults under Article 8 of
the Security Instrument; (iv) Borrower files a voluntary petition under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or
any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (v) an affiliate, officer, director or
representative which controls Borrower, directly or indirectly, files, or joins in the filing of,
an involuntary petition against Borrower under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or
state bankruptcy or insolvency law, or solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors for
any involuntary petition against Borrower from any person or entity; (vi) Borrower files an answer
consenting to or otherwise acquiescing in or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it,
by any other person or entity under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state
bankruptcy or insolvency law, or solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors for any
involuntary petition from any person or entity; (vii) any affiliate, officer, director or
representative which controls Borrower consents to or acquiesces in or joins in an application for
the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for Borrower or any portion of the
Property; or (viii) Borrower makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admits, in
writing or in any legal proceeding, its insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become
due.

     (d) Nothing herein shall be deemed to be a waiver of any right which Lender may have
under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provision of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a
claim for the full amount of the indebtedness secured by the Security Instrument or to
require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the indebtedness owing to Lender
in accordance with this Note, the Security Instrument and the Other Security Documents.
