assigns, forever; IN TRUST, WITH POWER OF SALE, to secure payment to Lender of the Debt at the time

shall well and truly perform the Other Obligations as set forth in this Security Instrument and
shall well and truly abide by and comply with each and every covenant and condition set forth

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.

4

 

     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;

     (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.

     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.

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 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

6

 

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;

          (v) Boiler and Machinery Insurance. If applicable, broad form boiler and machinery
insurance (without exclusion for explosion) covering all boilers or other pressure vessels,
machinery, and equipment located in, on or about the Property and insurance against loss of

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 construction,
repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements (A) owner’s contingent or
protective liability insurance covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of
the above mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy; and (B) the insurance provided
for in Subsection 3.3(a)(i) written in a so-called builder’s risk completed value form (1) on a
non-reporting basis, (2) against all risks insured against pursuant to Subsection 3.3(a)(i), (3)
including permission to occupy the Property, and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving
co-insurance provisions; and

          (viii) Other Insurance. Such other insurance with respect to the Property against loss
or damage of the kinds from time to time customarily insured against and in such amounts as are

(for the amounts set forth in subsections (i) and (iv) above and with deductibles no greater than
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
financial class of VI or better by A.M. Best Company, Inc. (or if a rating of A.M. Best Company,
Inc. is no longer available, a similar rating from a similar or successor service) and (ii) 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

7

 

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 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 general
vicinity of the Property, but in no event in excess of $10,000. The Policy referred to in
Subsection 3.3(a)(i) above shall provide coverage for contingent liability from Operation of
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

8

 

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.

     (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

9

 

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.

     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

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

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

by the independent architect;

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

11

 

     (v) (A) in the event that the Net Proceeds are insurance proceeds, less than

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

than once per month, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all

12

 

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

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 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

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

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

13

 

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.

     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).

14

 

     (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 approval of
Lender and its counsel (which approval shall not The 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.

     (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.

     (a) 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.

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.

or greater than 1.25:1 and shall remain equal to or greater that 1.25:1 at all times during
such construction. “Debt Service Coverage Ratio” means the ratio of (a) Lender’s estimated
net underwritable cash flow from the Property based on current monthly rents (subject to the
adjustments below) and based on expenses over a trailing twelve (12) month period (as
determined by Lender and in accordance with the requirements of any rating agency selected
by Lender in its sole discretion) adjusted, if necessary, (I) to reflect

the results of an audit of the Property cash flows, (II) to exclude rents achieved which are
greater than market and cannot be supported by comparables acceptable to Lender, (III) to
reflect actual expenses which are greater than the amounts underwritten by Lender, (IV) to
reflect actual reimbursements from tenants which are less than the amounts underwritten by
Lender, (V) to exclude rents and reimbursements under any “master lease” or other lease for
space at the Property pursuant to which rent payments are to be made by Borrower or an

their space and continue to pay full rent at all times during such construction (unless rent
is not required pursuant to the terms of a tenant’s Lease).

16

 

     (ix) The Property shall at all times have no fewer than four (4) parking spaces per
1,000 square feet of rentable square footage at the Property.

     (x) The Property shall all times comply with Applicable Laws (as defined below),
including without limitation all zoning and land use laws.

     (xi) Borrower shall ensure that the existing retail space at the Property is properly
served by all utilities during the such construction.

     (xii) All costs and expenses of any and all labor, materials, supplies and equipment
used in such construction shall be paid in full on or before the date the same are due, and
Borrower shall not permit the Property to become subject to any mechanic’s, materialman’s or
other lien as a result of such construction or Borrower shall remove or bond over any

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,

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

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.

to be filed, registered or recorded in such manner and in such places as may be required by any
present or future law in order to publish notice of and fully to protect and perfect the lien or
security interest hereof upon, and the interest of Lender in, the Property. Borrower will pay all

Security Documents, any note or deed of trust or mortgage supplemental hereto, any security
instrument with respect to the Property and any instrument of further assurance, and any

and delivery of this Security Instrument, any deed of trust or mortgage supplemental hereto, any
security instrument with respect to the Property or any instrument of further assurance, and any
modification or amendment of the foregoing documents, except where prohibited by law so to do.

     Section 7.2 Further Acts, Etc. Borrower will, at the cost of Borrower, and without
expense to Lender, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every such further acts, deeds,
conveyances, deeds of trust, mortgages, assignments, notices of assignments, transfers and

deeded, mortgaged, granted, bargained, sold, conveyed, confirmed, pledged, assigned, warranted and
transferred or intended now or hereafter so to be, or which Borrower may be or may hereafter become
bound to convey or assign to Lender, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the
performance of the terms of this Security Instrument or for filing, registering or recording this
Security Instrument, or for complying with all Applicable Laws. Borrower, on demand, will execute
and deliver and hereby authorizes Lender, following 10 days’ notice to Borrower, to execute in the
name of Borrower or without the signature of Borrower to the extent Lender may lawfully do so, (i)
one or more financing statements (including, without limitation, initial financing statements,
amendments thereto and continuation statements) with or without the signature of Borrower as
authorized by applicable law, chattel mortgages or other instruments, to evidence more effectively
the security interest of Lender in the Property and (ii)
any amendments or modifications to the Note, this Security Instrument and/or the Other Security
Documents in order to correct any 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

     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, 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

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

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

33

 

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.

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

35

 

confirmations from such Rating Agencies that such 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 opinions of counsel, if any, in form and

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,

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 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 Permitted Transfers. Lender shall not unreasonably withhold consent to
three (3) sales, conveyances or transfers of the Property in its entirety (hereinafter, each a
“Sale”) after the first anniversary of the first day of the first calendar month after the date
hereof (or the date hereof if dated the first day of a calendar month), or if before such first
anniversary, at least ninety (90) days prior to the date of Lender’s anticipated securitization of
the Loan or 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

36

 

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,

reasonable and, if given, may be given subject to such conditions as Lender may deem
reasonably appropriate;

due; (b) in connection with the second Sale, an amount equal to one half of one percent

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;

the closing of such Sale, the Buyer executes, without any cost or expense to Lender, such
documents and agreements as Lender shall reasonably require to evidence and effectuate said
assumption;

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

director of the Buyer (if the Buyer is a corporation) or the Buyer’s corporate general
partner or an independent member or, in Lender’s discretion, manager, of Buyer if the Buyer
is a limited liability company. The consent of such independent party shall be required for,
among other things, any merger, consolidation, dissolution, bankruptcy or insolvency of such
independent party or of the Buyer;

     (viii) Buyer shall assume the obligations of Borrower under any management
agreements pertaining to the Property or assign to Lender as additional security any new
management agreement entered into in connection with such Sale;

     (ix) Buyer shall furnish an opinion of counsel satisfactory to Lender and its
counsel (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

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

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;

     (x) Lender shall have received confirmation in writing from the Rating Agencies

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

In the event of a sale, by foreclosure, power of sale, or otherwise, of less than all of the

and payable, without any further notice, demand or other action by Lender.

     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 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

44

 

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.

     (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

45

 

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.

discharge or termination is sought.

     Section 21.2 Liability. If Borrower consists of more than one person, the

     Section 21.3 Inapplicable Provisions. If any term, covenant or condition of the Note
or this Security Instrument is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the
Note and this Security Instrument shall be construed without such provision.

     Section 21.4 Duplicate Originals; Counterparts. This Security Instrument may be

action hereunder except as expressly required hereunder or by law, or to perform any act which
would 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 Security Instrument, covenants to perform and fulfill the trusts herein created, being liable,
however, only for gross negligence or willful misconduct, and hereby waives any statutory fee and
agrees to accept reasonable compensation, in lieu thereof, for any services rendered by Trustee in
accordance with the terms hereof. Trustee may resign at any time upon giving thirty (30) days
notice to Borrower and to Lender. Lender may remove Trustee at any time or from time to time and
select a successor trustee. In the event of the death, removal, resignation, refusal to act, or

without notice and without specifying any reason therefor and without applying to any court, select
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 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.

54

 

     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 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

55

 

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 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,

56

 

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.

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

29

 

prior approval of Lender and its counsel, 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 Section.

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 Agreement 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 approval of Lender (not to be unreasonably withheld

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.

30

 

comparable space and
properties in the local market as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion and which is
otherwise in form and substance acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion .

     (g) In connection with all requests for approvals or consents by Lender pursuant to this
Section 5.13, the Lender’s approval shall be deemed granted if such request is not disapproved in

other information and documentation related thereto reasonably requested by Lender.

replace Manager with a manager approved by Lender on terms and conditions satisfactory to Lender,
it being understood and agreed that the management fee for such replacement manager shall not
exceed then prevailing market rates.

     (c) In addition to the foregoing, in the event that Lender, in Lender’s reasonable discretion,
at any time prior to the termination of the Assignment of Management Agreement, determines that the
Property is not being managed in accordance with generally accepted management practices for
projects similarly situated, Lender may deliver written notice thereof to Borrower and the Manager,
which notice shall specify with particularity the grounds for Lender’s determination. If Lender
reasonably determines that the conditions specified in Lender’s notice are not remedied to Lender’s
reasonable satisfaction by Borrower or the Manager within thirty (30) days from the date of such
notice or that Borrower or the Manager have failed to diligently undertake correcting such
conditions within such thirty (30) day period, Lender may direct Borrower to terminate the
Management Agreement and to replace the
Manager with a manager approved by Lender on terms and conditions satisfactory to Lender, it
being understood and agreed that the management fee for such replacement manager shall not exceed

under any zoning ordinance or any other applicable land use law, rule or regulation, without the
prior consent of Lender.

35

 

     (c) In the event Borrower is a single member Delaware limited liability company, the limited

occurrence of any event that causes the sole member of Borrower (“Member”) to cease to be the
member of Borrower (other than (A) upon an assignment by Member of all of its limited liability
company interest in Borrower and the admission of the transferee, or (B) the resignation of Member
and the admission of an additional member, in either case in accordance with the terms of the Loan
Documents and the LLC Agreement), the person executing the LLC Agreement as a “Special Member” (as
such term is defined in the LLC Agreement) (“Special Member”) shall, without any action of any
other Person and simultaneously with the Member ceasing to be the member of Borrower, automatically
be admitted to Borrower and shall continue Borrower without dissolution and (ii) Special Member may
not resign from Borrower or transfer its rights as Special Member unless a successor Special Member
has been admitted to Borrower as Special Member in accordance with requirements of Delaware law.
The LLC Agreement shall further provide that (i) Special Member shall automatically cease to be a
member of Borrower upon the admission to Borrower of a substitute Member, (ii) Special Member shall
be a member of Borrower that has no interest in the profits, losses and capital of Borrower and has
no right to receive any distributions of Borrower assets, (iii) pursuant to Section 18-301 of the
Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “Act”), Special Member shall not be required to make
any capital contributions to Borrower and shall not receive a limited liability company interest in
Borrower, (iv) Special Member, in its capacity as Special Member, may not bind Borrower and (v)
except as required by any mandatory provision of the Act, Special Member, in its capacity as
Special Member, shall have no right to vote on, approve or otherwise consent to any action by, or
matter relating to, Borrower, including, without limitation, the merger, consolidation or
conversion of Borrower. In order to implement the admission to Borrower of Special Member, Special
Member shall execute a counterpart to the LLC Agreement. Prior to its admission to Borrower as
Special Member, Special Member shall not be a member of Borrower.

     Upon the occurrence of any event that causes the Member to cease to be a member of Borrower,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal representative of Member shall, within ninety
(90) days after the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of Member in
Borrower, agree in writing (i) to continue Borrower and (ii) to the admission of the personal
representative or its nominee or designee, as the case may be, as a substitute member of Borrower,
effective as of the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of Member of
Borrower in Borrower. Any action initiated by or brought against Member or Special Member under any
Creditors Rights Laws shall not cause Member or Special Member to cease to be a member of Borrower
and upon the occurrence of such an event, the business of Borrower shall continue without
dissolution. The LLC Agreement shall provide that each of Member and Special Member waives any
right it might have to agree in writing to dissolve Borrower upon the occurrence of any action
initiated by or brought against Member or Special Member under any Creditors Rights Laws, or the
occurrence of an event that causes Member or Special Member to cease to be a member of Borrower.

such change and, in the case of a change in Borrower’s structure, without first obtaining the prior
written consent of Lender. In addition, Borrower shall not change or permit to be changed any
organizational documents of Borrower or any SPE Component Entity (if any) if such change would
adversely impact the covenants set forth in Section 6.1 hereof. Borrower authorizes Lender to file
any financing statement or financing statement amendment required by Lender to establish or
maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interest granted herein. At the
request of Lender, Borrower shall execute a certificate in form satisfactory to Lender listing the
trade names under which Borrower intends to operate the Property, and representing and warranting
that Borrower does business under no other trade name with respect to the Property. If Borrower
does not now have an organizational identification number and later obtains one, or if the
organizational identification number assigned to Borrower subsequently changes, Borrower shall
promptly notify Lender of such organizational identification number or change.

     Section 7.5 Assumption

     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 7, following the date which is six
(6) months from the Closing Date, Lender shall not unreasonably withhold consent to a transfer of

     (a) no Default or Event of Default has occurred;

     (b) Borrower shall have (i) delivered written notice to Lender of the terms of such
prospective transfer not less than sixty (60) days before the date on which such transfer is
scheduled to close and, concurrently therewith, all such information concerning the proposed
Transferee as Lender shall reasonably require and (ii) paid to Lender a non-refundable processing
fee in the amount of $5,000. Lender shall have the right to approve or disapprove the proposed
transfer based on its then current underwriting and credit requirements for similar loans secured
by similar properties which loans are sold in the secondary market, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld. In determining whether to give or withhold its approval of the proposed
transfer, Lender shall consider the experience and track record of Transferee and its principals in
owning and operating facilities similar to the Property, the financial strength of Transferee and
its principals, the general business standing of Transferee and its principals and Transferee’s and
its principals’ 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

39

 

reasonable and, if given, may be given subject to such conditions as Lender may deem reasonably
appropriate;

     (c) Borrower shall have paid to Lender, concurrently with the closing of such transfer, (i) a

to each such transfer thereafter, and (ii) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Lender in connection with the transfer;

     (d) (i) Transferee shall have assumed and agreed to pay the Debt as and when due subject to
the provisions of Article 15 hereof and, prior to or concurrently with the closing of such
transfer, Transferee and its constituent partners, members or shareholders as Lender may require,
shall have executed, without any cost or expense to Lender, such documents and agreements as Lender
shall reasonably require to evidence and effectuate said assumption and (ii) if required by Lender,
a Person affiliated with Transferee and acceptable to Lender shall have assumed the obligations of
Borrower Principal under the Loan Documents with respect to all acts and events occurring or
arising after the transfer of the Property pursuant to this Section 7.5;

     (e) Borrower and Transferee, without any cost to Lender, shall furnish any information
requested by Lender for the preparation of, and shall authorize Lender to file, new financing
statements and financing statement amendments and other documents to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, and shall execute any additional documents reasonably requested by Lender,

     (f) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender, without any cost or expense to Lender, such
endorsements to Lender’s Title Insurance Policy insuring that fee simple or leasehold title to the
Property, as applicable, is vested in Transferee (subject to Permitted Encumbrances), hazard
insurance endorsements or certificates and other similar materials as Lender may deem necessary at
the time of the transfer, all in form and substance satisfactory to Lender;

     (g) Transferee shall have furnished to Lender, if Transferee is a corporation, partnership,
limited liability company or other entity, all appropriate papers evidencing Transferee’s
organization and good standing, and the qualification of the signers to execute the assumption of
the Debt, which papers shall include certified copies of all documents relating to the organization
and formation of Transferee and of the entities, if any, which are partners or members of
Transferee. Transferee and such constituent partners, members or shareholders of Transferee (as the
case may be), as Lender shall require, shall comply with the covenants set forth in Article 6
hereof;

     (h) Transferee shall assume the obligations of Borrower under any Management Agreement or
provide a new management agreement with a new manager which meets with the requirements of Section
5.14 hereof and assign to Lender as additional security such new management agreement;

40

 

     (i) Transferee shall furnish an opinion of counsel satisfactory to Lender and its counsel (A)
that Transferee’s formation documents provide for the matters described in subparagraph (g) above,
(B) that the assumption of the Debt has been duly authorized, executed and delivered, and that the
Note, the Mortgage, this Agreement, the assumption agreement and the other Loan Documents are
valid, binding and enforceable against Transferee in accordance with their terms, (C) that
Transferee and any entity which is a controlling stockholder, member or general partner of
Transferee, have been duly organized, and are in existence and good standing, and ()) with respect
to such other matters as Lender may reasonably request;

     (j) if required by Lender, Lender shall have received confirmation in writing from the Rating
Agencies that rate the Securities to the effect that the transfer will not result in a
qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any rating initially assigned or to be assigned to the
Securities; and

     (k) Borrower’s obligations under the contract of sale pursuant to which the transfer is
proposed to occur shall expressly be subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of
this Section 7.5.

     A consent by Lender with respect to a transfer of the Property in its entirety to, and the
related assumption of the Loan by, a Transferee pursuant to this Section 7.5 shall not be construed
to be a waiver of the right of Lender to consent to any subsequent Sale or Pledge of the Property.
Upon the transfer of the Property pursuant to this Section 7.5, Borrower and Borrower Principal
shall be relieved of all liability under the Loan Documents for acts, events, conditions, or
circumstances occurring or arising after the date of such transfer, except to the extent that such
acts, events, conditions, or circumstances are the proximate result of acts, events, conditions, or
circumstances that existed prior to the date of such transfer, whether or not discovered prior or
subsequent to the date of such transfer.

     Section 7.6 Subordinate Loan

     Except as expressly provided in this Section 7.6, subordinate financing with respect to the
Property or Borrower is not permitted. Subject to satisfactory due diligence and underwriting,
Lender shall in its discretion agree to allow future subordinate debt once during the term of the
Loan, provided AmREIT Riverwalk, LP or an assumptor approved by Lender pursuant to Section 7.5
above is the Borrower. Without limiting the foregoing, Lender’s approval of such subordinate debt
may be conditioned on such criteria as Lender may elect in its reasonable discretion, including

(b) Borrower shall provide Lender with not less than sixty (60) days prior written notice of such
proposed subordinate financing, (c) the principal amount of such subordinate loan shall not exceed

determined by Lender based on the underwritten net cash flow as reasonably determined by Lender and
a fixed loan constant equal to the greater of (A) the loan constant meeting Rating Agency
guidelines and (B) the actual annual payment due under the Loan plus the annual payment due under
the subordinate loan determined based on the actual interest rate and amortization schedule on such
subordinate loan; (d) the term of the subordinate

securing the subordinate loan shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, (j)

Property, and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co- insurance provisions;

          (v) to the extent Borrower has employees, workers’ compensation, subject to the statutory
limits of the State, and employer’s liability insurance in respect of any work or operations on or
about the Property, or in connection with the Property or its operation (if applicable);

          (vi) comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, if applicable, in amounts as shall be
reasonably required by Lender on terms consistent with the commercial property insurance policy
required under subsection (i) above;

          (vii) excess liability insurance in an amount not less than $5,000,000 per occurrence on terms
consistent with the commercial general liability insurance required under subsection (ii) above;
and

          (viii) upon sixty (60) days’ written notice, such other reasonable insurance and in such
reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable
hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Property located
in or around the region in which the Property is located.

     With respect to the Policies required to be maintained pursuant to clauses (i) through (viii)
above, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with those of prudent owners
of institutional quality commercial real estate, to maintain insurance coverage against Losses
resulting from acts of terrorism.

     (b) All insurance provided for in Section 8.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable
policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject to
the reasonable approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and
insureds. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies
authorized to do business in the State and having a claims paying ability rating of “BBB” or better
by S&P and “Baa2” by Moody’s (or such other ratings promulgated from time to time by S&P and
Moody’s for properties and transactions similar in type and size to the Property and the Loan)
and/or a general policy rating of “A” or better and a financial class of VIII or better by A.M.
Best Company, Inc. The Policies described in Section 8.1(a) shall designate Lender and its
successors and assigns as additional insureds, mortgagees and/or loss payee as deemed appropriate
by Lender. To the extent such Policies are not available as of the Closing Date, Borrower shall
deliver to Lender prior to the Closing Date an Acord 28 or similar certificate of insurance
evidencing the coverages and amounts required hereunder and, upon request of Lender as soon as
available after the Closing Date, certified copies of all Policies. Not less than ten (10) days
prior to the expiration dates of any insurance coverage in place with respect to the Property,
Borrower shall deliver to Lender an Acord 28 or similar certificate, accompanied by evidence
satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due in connection therewith (the “Insurance
Premiums”), and, as soon as available thereafter, certified copies of all renewal Policies.

44

 

     (c) Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of
coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as
would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section
8.1(a).

     (d) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 8.1(a), except for the Policy
referenced in Section 8.1(a)(v), shall name Borrower as the insured and Lender as the additional
insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery,
flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor
of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.

     (e) All Policies provided for in Section 8.1(a) shall contain clauses or endorsements to the
effect that:

          (i) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any Tenant or other
occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a
forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or
enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;

          (ii) the Policies shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage
provided thereby) or canceled by the insurer without at least thirty (30) days’ (ten (10) days’ in
the case of non-payment of premium) prior written notice to Lender and any other party named
therein as an additional insured;

          (iii) the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the Policies have not been
renewed thirty (30) days prior to its expiration; and

          (iv) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any
assessments thereunder.

     (f) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required
hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to
take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including,
without limitation, obtaining such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems
appropriate. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such
insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid,
shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

     Section 8.2 Casualty

     If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty
(a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly
commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property in accordance with Section 8.4 to
the extent Net Proceeds are made available by Lender or if Borrower is required to do so pursuant
to the terms of any Lease. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such
costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not
made promptly by Borrower. Borrower shall adjust all claims for

45

 

Insurance Proceeds in consultation with, and approval of, Lender; provided, however, if an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall have the exclusive right to
participate in the adjustment of all claims for Insurance Proceeds.

     Section 8.3 Condemnation

     Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any
proceeding for the Condemnation of the Property of which Borrower has knowledge and shall deliver
to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may
participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all
instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense,
diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and
experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings.
Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation 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 Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until
any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses
of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. 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. If the Property or any portion
thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently
prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 8.4,
whether or not Lender makes any Net Proceeds available pursuant to Section 8.4. If the Property is
sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall
have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered
or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.

     Section 8.4 Restoration

     The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the Property:

     (a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than $500,000 and the costs of completing the
Restoration shall be less than $500,000, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower
upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4(b)(i) are met and
Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily
complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

     (b) If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than $500,000 or the costs of completing the
Restoration are equal to or greater than $500,000, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for
the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4. The term “Net Proceeds” for
purposes of this Section 8.4 shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by
Lender pursuant to Section 8.1 (a)(i), (iv), (vi) and (viii) as a result of a Casualty, after
deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel
fees), if any, in collecting the same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or

46

 

(ii) the net amount of the Award as a result of a Condemnation, after deduction of its
reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in
collecting the same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.

          (i) The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration provided that each of
the following conditions are met:

          (A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

          (B) (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than forty percent
(40%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the Property has been damaged,
destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of a Casualty and the amount of damage does not
exceed forty percent (40%) of the Property’s fair market value immediately prior to the
occurrence of such Casualty, or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds,
less than ten percent (10%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, such land is
located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and less than fifteen percent
(15%) of the aggregate floor area of the Improvements is taken and the taking does not
exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the Property’s fair market value immediately prior to the
occurrence of such taking;

          (C) Leases covering in the aggregate at least sixty- five percent (65%) of the total
rentable space in the Property which has been demised under executed and delivered Leases in
effect as of the date of the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case
may be, and each Major Lease in effect as of such date shall remain in full force and effect
during and after the completion of the Restoration without abatement of rent beyond the time
required for Restoration;

          (D) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in
no event later than sixty (60) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case
may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;

          (E) 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 Casualty or Condemnation, whichever
the case may be, will be covered out of the insurance coverage referred to in Section
8.1(a)(iii) above;

          (F) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the
earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2) the earliest date
required for such completion under the terms of any Leases or material agreements affecting
the Property, (3) such time as may be required under applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule
or regulation, or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section
8.1(a)(iii);

          (G) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with
and permitted under all Legal Requirements;

47

 

          (H) the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and
diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;

          (I) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access
to the Property or the Improvements;

          (J) Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed detailed
budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of
completing the Restoration, which budget shall be acceptable to Lender; and

          (K) the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower
with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s reasonable judgment to cover the cost of the
Restoration.

          (ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender until disbursements commence, and, until
disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4(b), shall constitute additional
security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be
disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the
Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all the conditions precedent
to such advance, including those set forth in Section 8.4(b)(i), have been satisfied, (B) 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 related Restoration item have been paid
for in full, and (C) 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 which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender
and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the
title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Insurance Proceeds
from the Policies required to be maintained by Borrower pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(iii) shall be
controlled by Lender at all times, shall not be subject to the provisions of this Section 8.4 and
shall be used solely for the payment of the obligations under the Loan Documents and Operating
Expenses.

          (iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be
subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting
engineer selected by Lender (the “Restoration Consultant”) in their reasonable discretion. 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 contracts in excess of $200,000 under which
they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and the
Restoration Consultant. 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 Restoration Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.

          (iv) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess
of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work

48

 

in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Restoration Consultant, minus the
Restoration Retainage. The term “Restoration Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten percent
(10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by
the Restoration Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Restoration Retainage
shall be reduced to five percent (5%) of the costs incurred upon receipt by Lender of satisfactory
evidence that fifty percent (50%) of the Restoration has been completed. The Restoration Retainage
shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section
8.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and
materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Restoration Retainage shall not be released until the
Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 8.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy
and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and
Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in
full or will be paid in full out of the Restoration Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will
release the portion of the Restoration Retainage being held with respect to any contractor,
subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Restoration
Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily
completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the
contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or
materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the
contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title
company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title
Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage and evidence of
payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such
portion of the Restoration Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has
issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.

          (v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently
than once every calendar month.

          (vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the
reasonable and good faith opinion of Lender in consultation with the Restoration Consultant, be
sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Restoration
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 8.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other
obligations under the Loan Documents.

          (vii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net
Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that
the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4(b), and
the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with
the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to

49

 

Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the
Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

     (c) 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 Section 8.4(b)(vii) may (x) 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 sole discretion shall deem proper, or, (y) at the sole
discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such
purposes and upon such conditions as Lender shall designate. If, pursuant to this Section 8.4,
Lender shall receive and retain Net Proceeds, (i) the lien of the Mortgage shall be reduced only by
the amount thereof received and retained by Lender and actually applied by Lender in reduction of
the Debt; and (ii) notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, Borrower shall not be required to
repair or restore the portion of the Property affected by such Casualty or Condemnation to the
condition or character the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation so
long as no Event of Default exists, but Borrower shall be required to remove all debris with
respect to the portion of the Property not required to be restored in a manner that is safe and is
not dangerous to health or other property and is in compliance with all applicable laws.

     (d) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or other transfer of title to the Property in
extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to
the Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall
thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure, Lender or other transferee in the event of
such other transfer of title.

ARTICLE IX.

RESERVE FUNDS

     Section 9.1 Required Repairs 

     (a) Borrower shall make the repairs and improvements to the Property set forth on Schedule I
and as more particularly described in the Property Condition Report prepared in connection with the
closing of the Loan (such repairs hereinafter referred to as “Required Repairs”). Borrower shall
complete the Required Repairs in a good and workmanlike manner on or before the date that is twelve
(12) months from the date hereof or within such other time frame for completion specifically set
forth on Schedule I.

     (b) Borrower shall establish on the date hereof an Eligible Account with Lender or Lender’s
agent to fund the Required Repairs (the “Required Repair Account”) into which Borrower shall
deposit on the date hereof the amount of $0, which amount equals 125% of the estimated cost for the
completion of the Required Repairs. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the
"Required Repair Funds.”

     Section 9.2 Replacements 

     (a) On an ongoing basis throughout the term of the Loan, Borrower shall make capital repairs,
replacements and improvements necessary to keep the Property in good order and repair and in a good
marketable condition or prevent deterioration of the Property, including, but

50

 

not limited to, those repairs, replacements and improvements more particularly described in
the Property Condition Report prepared in connection with the closing of the Loan (collectively,
the “Replacements”). Borrower shall complete all Replacements in a good and workmanlike manner as
soon as commercially reasonable after commencing to make each such Replacement.

     (b) Borrower shall establish on the date hereof an Eligible Account (or, during any Cash
Management Period, a sub-account of the Cash Management Account) with Lender or Lender’s agent to
fund the Replacements (the “Replacement Reserve Account”). Upon tie occurrence of an Event of
Default, Borrower shall deposit into the Replacement Reserve Account on or before the next
Scheduled Payment Date an amount equal to the aggregate total which would have accumulated in such
account if Borrower had made the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit on each Scheduled Payment Date
prior thereto. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower
shall deposit into the Replacement Reserve Account on each Scheduled Payment Date (the “Replacement
Reserve Monthly Deposit”) an amount equal to $583.42; provided that such monthly deposits shall not
be required following the discontinuance of such Event of Default. Amounts so deposited shall
hereinafter be referred to as “Replacement Reserve Funds .” Lender may, in its reasonable
discretion, adjust the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit from time to time to an amount
sufficient to maintain the proper maintenance and operation of the Property. In the event Lender
shall at any time increase the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit, Borrower may, at its election,
request that Lender obtain, at the sole cost and expense of Borrower, a Property Condition Report
prepared by an engineer selected by Lender in its reasonable discretion, in which case the
Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit shall be adjusted by Lender based on the results of such
report, provided that in no event shall such amounts be reduced below the initial amount of the
Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit set forth in herein.

     Section 9.3 Tenant Improvements and Leasing Commissions 

     (a) Borrower hereby agrees to (a) perform, or cause to be performed, tenant improvements
required under any Lease entered into in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.13 of this
Agreement (collectively, the ‘Tenant Improvements”), and (b) pay the costs of leasing commissions
incurred by Borrower in connection with the leasing of the Property or a portion thereof
(collectively, “Leasing Commissions”).

     (b) Borrower shall establish on the date hereof an Eligible Account (or, during any Cash
Management Period, a sub-account of the Cash Management Account) with Lender or Lender’s agent to
fund Tenant Improvements and Leasing Commissions (the “Leasing Reserve Account”) into which
Borrower shall deposit on the date hereof $0. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall deposit with Lender into the Leasing Reserve
Account any sum or termination fee payable to Borrower in connection with any Tenant’s election to
exercise any early termination option contained in its respective lease of space at the Property
(the “Termination Fee Deposit”) on the date of Borrower’s receipt thereof, provided that such
deposits shall not be required following the discontinuance of such Event of Default. Amounts so
deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Leasing Reserve Funds .”

51

 

     Section 9.4 Required Work

     Borrower shall diligently pursue all Required Repairs and Replacements (collectively, the
"Required Work”) to completion in accordance with the following requirements:

     (a) Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve all contracts or work orders with
materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or
materials in connection with the Required Work to the extent such contracts or work orders exceed
$200,000. Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall assign any contract or subcontract to Lender.

     (b) In the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Required Work is not
being or has not been performed in a workmanlike or timely manner, Lender shall have the option to
withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory Required Work and to proceed under existing contracts
or to contract with third parties to complete such Required Work and to apply the Required Repair
Funds or the Replacement Reserve Funds, as applicable, toward the labor and materials necessary to
complete such Required Work, without providing any prior notice to Borrower and to exercise any and
all other remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default hereunder.

     (c) In order to facilitate Lender’s completion of the Required Work, Borrower grants Lender
the right to enter onto the Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete
the Required Work and/or employ watchmen to protect the Property from damage. All sums so expended
by Lender, to the extent not from the Reserve Funds, shall be deemed to have been advanced under
the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Mortgage. For this purpose Borrower constitutes and
appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or
undertake the Required Work in the name of Borrower upon Borrower’s failure to do so in a
workmanlike and timely manner. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an
interest and cannot be revoked. Borrower empowers said attorney-in-fact as follows: (i) to use any
of the Reserve Funds for the purpose of making or completing the Required Work; (ii) to make such
additions, changes and corrections to the Required Work as shall be necessary or desirable to
complete the Required Work; (iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects
and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all
existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against the Property, or as may be
necessary or desirable for the completion of the Required Work, or for clearance of title; (v) to
execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any of
the contract documents; (vi) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with
the Property or the rehabilitation and repair of the Property; and (vii) to do any and every act
which Borrower might do on its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Agreement.

     (d) Nothing in this Section 9.4 shall: (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing
the Required Work; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Reserve Funds to make or
complete any Required Work; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with the Required Work; or (iv)
obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any Required Work.

52

 

     (e) Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives (including, without
limitation, Lender’s engineer, architect, or inspector) or third parties performing Required Work
pursuant to this Section 9.4 to enter onto the Property during normal business hours (subject to
the rights of tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Required Work and all
materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to
such Required Work which are or may be kept at the Property, and to complete any Required Work made
pursuant to this Section 9.4. Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate
with Lender and Lender’s representatives or such other persons described above in connection with
inspections described in this Section 9.4 or the completion of Required Work pursuant to this
Section 9.4.

     (f) Lender may, to the extent any Required Work would reasonably require an inspection of the
Property, inspect the Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a disbursement of the Reserve
Funds in order to verify completion of the Required Work for which reimbursement is sought.
Borrower shall pay Lender a reasonable inspection fee not exceeding $1,000 for each such
inspection. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent
qualified professional selected by Lender and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion
by an independent qualified professional acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of the
Reserve Funds. Borrower shall pay the expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such
inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional.

     (g) The Required Work and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other item comprising a
part of any Required Work shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and
clear of all mechanic’s, materialman’s or other Liens (except for Permitted Encumbrances).

     (h) Before each disbursement of the Reserve Funds, Lender may require Borrower to provide
Lender with a search of title to the Property effective to the date of the disbursement, which
search shows that no mechanic’s or materialmen’s or other Liens of any nature have been placed
against the Property since the date of recordation of the Mortgage and that title to the Property
is free and clear of all Liens (except for Permitted Encumbrances).

     (i) All Required Work shall comply with all Legal Requirements and applicable insurance
requirements including, without limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits,
environmental regulations, and requirements of insurance underwriters.

     (j) Borrower hereby assigns to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all
Persons supplying labor or materials in connection with the Required Work; provided, however, that
Lender may not pursue any such rights or claims unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains
uncured.

     Section 9.5 Release of Reserve Funds 

     (a) Upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this
Section 9.5, Lender shall disburse to Borrower amounts from (i) the Required Repair Account to the
extent necessary to pay for or to reimburse Borrower for the actual costs of each

53

 

Required Repair (but not exceeding 125% of the original estimated cost of such Required Repair
as set forth on Schedule I, unless Lender has agreed to reimburse Borrower for such excess cost
pursuant to Section 9.5(f)) or (ii) the Replacement Reserve Account to the extent necessary to
reimburse Borrower for the actual costs of any approved Replacements. Notwithstanding the preceding
sentence, in no event shall Lender be required to (x) disburse any amounts which would cause the
amount of funds remaining in the Required Repair Account after any disbursement (other than with
respect to the final disbursement) to be less than 125% of the then current estimated cost of
completing all remaining Required Repairs for the Property, (y) disburse funds from any of the
Reserve Accounts if an Event of Default exists, or (z) disburse funds from the Replacement Reserve
Account to reimburse Borrower for the costs of routine repairs or maintenance to the Property or
for costs which are to be reimbursed from funds held in the Required Repair Account.

     (b) With each request for disbursement, Borrower shall certify in writing to Lender that all
Required Work has been performed in accordance with all Legal Requirements and that all such
Required Work has been completed lien free and paid for in full or will be paid for in full upon
disbursement of the requested funds. In addition, each request for disbursement in excess of
$50,000 shall be on a form provided or approved by Lender and shall (i) include copies of invoices
for all items or materials purchased and all labor or services provided, (ii) specify (A) the
Required Work for which the disbursement is requested, (B) the quantity and price of each item
purchased, if the Required Work includes the purchase or replacement of specific items, (C) the
price of all materials (grouped by type or category) used in any Required Work other than the
purchase or replacement of specific items, and (D) the cost of all contracted labor or other
services applicable to each Required Work for which such request for disbursement is made, (iii) if
requested by Lender, conditional lien waivers from each contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic
or subcontractor with respect to the completion of its work or delivery of its materials. Except as
provided in Section 9.5(d), each request for disbursement shall be made only after completion of
the Required Repair or Replacement (or the portion thereof completed in accordance with Section
9.5(d)), as applicable, for which disbursement is requested. Borrower shall provide Lender evidence
satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable judgment of such completion or performance.

     (c) Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to all Legal Requirements and shall
cover all work performed and materials supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for the Property
by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by
the current disbursement request.

     (d) If (i) the cost of any item of Required Work exceeds $200,000, (ii) the contractor
performing such Required Work requires periodic payments pursuant to terms of a written contract,
and (iii) Lender has approved in writing in advance such periodic payments, a request for
disbursement from the Reserve Accounts may be made after completion of a portion of the work under
such contract, provided (A) such contract requires payment upon completion of such portion of work,
(B) the materials for which the request is made are on site at the Property and are properly
secured or have been installed in the Property, (C) all other conditions in this Agreement for
disbursement have been satisfied, and (D) in the case of a Replacement, funds remaining in the
Replacement Reserve Account are, in Lender’s judgment, sufficient to complete such Replacement and
other Replacements when required.

54

 

     (e) Borrower shall not make a request for, nor shall Lender have any obligation to make, any
disbursement from any Reserve Account more frequently than once in any calendar month and (except
in connection with the final disbursement) in any amount less than the lesser of (i) $100,000 or
(ii) the total cost of the Required Work for which the disbursement is requested.

     (f) In the event any Borrower requests a disbursement from the Required Repair Account to pay
for or to reimburse Borrower for the actual cost of labor or materials used in connection with
repairs or improvements other than the Required Repairs specified on Schedule I, or for a Required
Repair to the extent the cost of such Required Repair exceeds 125% of the estimated cost of such
Required Repair as set forth on Schedule I (in either case, an “Additional Required Repair”),
Borrower shall disclose in writing to Lender the reason why funds in the Required Repair Account
should be used to pay for such Additional Required Repair. If Lender reasonably determines that (i)
such Additional Required Repair is of the type intended to be covered by the Required Repair
Account, (ii) such Additional Required Repair is not covered or is not of the type intended to be
covered by the Replacement Reserve Account, (iii) costs for such Additional Required Repair are
reasonable, (iv) the funds in the Required Repair Account are sufficient to pay for such Additional
Required Repair and all other Required Repairs for the Property specified on Schedule I, and (v)
all other conditions for disbursement under this Agreement have been met, Lender may disburse funds
from the Required Repair Account.

     (g) In the event any Borrower requests a disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account to
pay for or to reimburse Borrower for the actual cost of labor or materials used in connection with
repairs or improvements other than the Replacements specified in the Property Condition Report
prepared in connection with the closing of the Loan (an “Additional Replacement”), Borrower shall
disclose in writing to Lender the reason why funds in the Replacement Reserve Account should be
used to pay for such Additional Replacement. If Lender reasonably determines that (i) such
Additional Replacement is of the type intended to be covered by the Replacement Reserve Account,
(ii) such Additional Replacement is not covered or is not of the type intended to be covered by the
Required Repair Account, (iii) costs for such Additional Replacement are reasonable, (iv) the funds
in the Replacement Reserve Account are sufficient to pay for such Additional Replacement and all
other Replacements for the Property specified in the Property Condition Report, and (v) all other
conditions for disbursement under this Agreement have been met, Lender may disburse funds from the
Replacement Reserve Account.

     (h) Lender’s disbursement of any Reserve Funds or other acknowledgment of completion of any
Required Work in a manner satisfactory to Lender shall not be deemed a certification or warranty by
Lender to any Person that the Required Work has been completed in accordance with Legal
Requirements.

     (i) If the funds in any Reserve Account should exceed the amount of payments actually applied
by Lender for the purposes of the account, Lender in its sole discretion shall either return any
excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to that Reserve
Account. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Reserve Funds are not or will not be
sufficient to make the required payments, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and
Borrower shall pay to Lender any amount necessary to make up the deficiency within ten (10) days
after notice from Lender to Borrower requesting payment thereof.

55

 

     (j) The insufficiency of any balance in any of the Reserve Accounts shall not relieve Borrower
from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.

     (k) Upon the earlier to occur of (i) the timely completion of all Required Repairs and any
Additional Required Repairs, if any, in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, as
verified by Lender in its reasonable discretion, or (ii) the payment in full of the Debt, all
amounts remaining on deposit, if any, in the Required Repair Account shall be returned to Borrower
or the Person shown on Lender’s records as being the owner of the Property and no other party shall
have any right or claim thereto.

     (l) Upon payment in full of the Debt, all amounts remaining on deposit, if any, in the
Replacement Reserve Account shall be promptly returned to Borrower or the Person shown on Lender’s
records as being the owner of the Property and no other party shall have any right or claim
thereto.

     (m) Upon the payment in full of the Debt, all amounts remaining on deposit, if any, in the
Leasing Reserve Account shall be promptly returned to Borrower or the Person shown on Lender’s
records as being the owner of the Property and no other party shall have any right or claim
thereto.

     Section 9.6 Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds 

     Borrower shall establish on the date hereof an Eligible Account (or, during any Cash
Management Period, a sub-account of the Cash Management Account) with Lender or Lender’s agent
sufficient to discharge Borrower’s obligations for the payment of Taxes and Insurance Premiums
pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 hereof (the “Tax and Insurance Reserve Account”). Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall deposit into the Tax and Insurance Reserve
Account on or before the next Scheduled Payment Date and amount reasonably determined by Lender
which, when added to the required monthly deposits set forth in the next sentence, is sufficient to
make the payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums as required herein. Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall deposit into the Tax and Insurance
Reserve Account on each Scheduled Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates
will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months or such higher amount necessary to
accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to
the earlier of (i) the date that the same will become delinquent and (ii) the date that additional
charges or interest will accrue due to the non-payment thereof, and (b) except to the extent Lender
has waived the insurance escrow because the insurance required hereunder is maintained under a
blanket insurance Policy acceptable to Lender in accordance with Section 8.1(c), one-twelfth of the
Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months
for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof or such higher
amount necessary to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at
least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above
hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds”); provided that such monthly deposits
shall not be required following the discontinuance of such Event of Default. Lender will apply the
Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by

56

 

Borrower pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 hereof. In making any disbursement from
the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or
estimate procured from the appropriate public office or tax lien service (with respect to Taxes) or
insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such
bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien
or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds shall exceed the
amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 hereof, Lender
shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future
payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account. In allocating any such excess, Lender
may deal with the person shown on Lender’s records as being the owner of the Property. Any amount
remaining in the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account after the Debt has been paid in full shall be
returned to Borrower or the person shown on Lender’s records as being the owner of the Property and
no other party shall have any right or claim thereto. If at any time Lender reasonably determines
that the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds are not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes and
Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of
such determination and Borrower shall pay to Lender any amount necessary to make up the deficiency
within ten (10) days after notice from Lender to Borrower requesting payment thereof.

     Section 9.7 Reserve Funds Generally

     (a) (i) Except for the Interest Bearing Reserve Accounts, no earnings or interest on the
Reserve Accounts shall be payable to Borrower. Neither Lender nor any loan servicer that at any
time holds or maintains such non-interest-bearing Reserve Accounts shall have any obligation to
keep or maintain such Reserve Accounts or any funds deposited therein in interest-bearing accounts.
If Lender or any such loan servicer elects in its sole and absolute discretion to keep or maintain
any non-interest-bearing Reserve Account or any funds deposited therein in an interest-bearing
account, the account shall be an Eligible Account and (A) such funds shall not be invested except
in Permitted Investments, and (B) all interest earned or accrued thereon shall be for the account
of and be retained by Lender or such loan servicer.

          (ii) Funds deposited in the Interest Bearing Reserve Accounts shall be held in an
interest-bearing business savings account and interest shall be credited to Borrower. In no event
shall Lender or any loan servicer that at any time holds or maintains any Interest Bearing Reserve
Account be required to select any particular interest-bearing account or the account that yields
the highest rate of interest, provided that selection of the account shall be consistent with the
general standards at the time being utilized by Lender or the loan servicer, as applicable, in
establishing similar accounts for loans of comparable type. All such interest shall be and become
part of the applicable Interest Bearing Reserve Account and shall be disbursed in accordance with
Section 9.5 above; provided, however, that Lender may, at its election, retain any such interest
for its own account during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default. Borrower agrees
that it shall include all interest on Reserve Funds in the Interest Bearing Reserve Accounts as the
income of Borrower (and, if Borrower is a partnership or other pass-through entity, the partners,
members or beneficiaries of Borrower, as the case may be), and shall be the owner of the Reserve
Funds in the Interest Bearing Reserve Accounts for federal and applicable state and local tax
purposes, except to the extent that Lender retains any interest for its own account during the
occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default as provided herein.

57

 

     (b) Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in, and assigns and
pledges to Lender, each of the Reserve Accounts and any and all Reserve Funds now or hereafter
deposited in the Reserve Accounts as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or
applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Accounts and the Reserve Funds shall constitute
additional security for the Debt. The provisions of this Section 9.7 are intended to give Lender or
any subsequent holder of the Loan “control” of the Reserve Accounts within the meaning of the UCC.

     (c) The Reserve Accounts and any and all Reserve Funds now or hereafter deposited in the
Reserve Accounts shall be subject to the exclusive dominion and control of Lender, which shall hold
the Reserve Accounts and any or all Reserve Funds now or hereafter deposited in the Reserve
Accounts subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Borrower shall have no right of
withdrawal from the Reserve Accounts or any otter right or power with respect to the Reserve
Accounts or any or all of the Reserve Funds now or hereafter deposited in the Reserve Accounts,
except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

     (d) Lender shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Borrower, without charge, an annual
accounting of each Reserve Account in the normal format of Lender or its loan servicer, showing
credits and debits to such Reserve Account and the purpose for which each debit to each Reserve
Account was made.

     (e) As long as no Event of Default has occurred, Lender shall make disbursements from the
Reserve Accounts in accordance with this Agreement. All such disbursements shall be deemed to have
been expressly pre-authorized by Borrower, and shall not be deemed to constitute the exercise by
Lender of any remedies against Borrower unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
and Lender has expressly stated in writing its intent to proceed to exercise its remedies as a
secured party, pledgee or lienholder with respect to the Reserve Accounts.

     (f) If any Event of Default occurs, Borrower shall immediately lose all of its rights to
receive disbursements from the Reserve Accounts until the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which
such Event of Default is cured to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction, or (ii) the payment in full of
the Debt. In addition, at Lender’s election, Borrower shall lose all of its rights to receive
interest on the Interest Bearing Reserve Accounts during the occurrence and continuance of an Event
of Default. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may exercise any or all of its
rights and remedies as a secured party, pledgee and lienholder with respect to the Reserve
Accounts. Without limitation of the foregoing, upon any Event of Default, Lender may use and
disburse the Reserve Funds (or any portion thereof) for any of the following purposes: (A)
repayment of the Debt, including, but not limited to, principal prepayments and the prepayment
premium applicable to such full or partial prepayment (as applicable); (B) reimbursement of Lender
for all losses, fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees)
suffered or incurred by Lender as a result of such Event of Default; (C) payment of any amount
expended in exercising any or all rights and remedies available to Lender at law or in equity or
under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents; (D) payment of any item from any of
the Reserve Accounts as required or permitted under this Agreement; or (E) any other purpose
permitted by applicable law; provided, however, that any such application of funds shall not cure
or be deemed to cure any Event of Default. Without limiting any other provisions

58

 

hereof, each of the remedial actions described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a
commercially reasonable exercise of Lender’s rights and remedies as a secured party with respect to
the Reserve Funds and shall not in any event be deemed to constitute a setoff or a foreclosure of a
statutory banker’s lien. Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any
portion of the Reserve Funds to effect a cure of any Event of Default, or to pay the Debt, or in
any specific order of priority. The exercise of any or all of Lender’s rights and remedies under
this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents shall not in any way prejudice or affect
Lender’s right to initiate and complete a foreclosure under the Mortgage.

     (g) The Reserve Funds shall not constitute escrow or trust funds and may be commingled with
other monies held by Lender. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, Lender may
commingle in one or more Eligible Accounts any and all funds controlled by Lender, including,
without limitation, funds pledged in favor of Lender by other Borrowers, whether for the same
purposes as the Reserve Accounts or otherwise. Without limiting any other provisions of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Reserve Accounts may be established and held in such name
or names as Lender or its loan servicer, as agent for Lender, shall deem appropriate, including,
without limitation, in the name of Lender or such loan servicer as agent for Lender. In the case of
any Reserve Account which is held in a commingled account, Lender or its loan servicer, as
applicable, shall maintain records sufficient to enable it to determine at all times which portion
of such account is related to the Loan. The Reserve Accounts are solely for the protection of
Lender. With respect to the Reserve Accounts, Lender shall have no responsibility beyond the
allowance of due credit for the sums actually received by Lender or beyond the reimbursement or
payment of the costs and expenses for which such accounts were established in accordance with their
terms. Upon assignment of the Loan by Lender, any Reserve Funds shall be turned over to the
assignee and any responsibility of Lender as assignor shall terminate. The requirements of this
Agreement concerning Reserve Accounts in no way supersede, limit or waive any other rights or
obligations of the parties under any of the Loan Documents or under applicable law.

     (h) Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge,
assign or grant any security interest in the Reserve Accounts or the Reserve Funds deposited
therein or permit any Lien to attach thereto, except for the security interest granted in this
Section 9.7, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements, except those naming
Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.

     (i) Borrower will maintain the security interest created by this Section 9.7 as a first
priority perfected security interest and will defend the right, title and interest of Lender in and
to the Reserve Accounts and the Reserve Funds against the claims and demands of all Persons
whomsoever. At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Lender, and at the sole
expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly and duly execute and deliver such further instruments
and documents and will take such further actions as Lender reasonably may request for the purpose
of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein
granted.

59

 

     Section 9.8 Excess Cash

     Concurrently with the establishment of the Cash Management Account, Borrower shall establish a
sub-account of the Cash Management Account into which Borrower shall deposit all Excess Cash on
each Scheduled Payment Date during any Cash Management Period (the “Excess Cash Reserve Account”).
Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Excess Cash Reserve Funds.” Provided
no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, sums from the Excess Cash Reserve Account in an
amount not to exceed three (3) months Debt Service shall be disbursed to Borrower’s Account upon
the discontinuation of a Cash Management Period. In the event a Cash Management Period occurs twice
during the term of the Loan, Borrower shall not be entitled to any disbursement of the amounts in
the Excess Cash Reserve Account during the remaining term of the Loan, the Cash Management Period
shall continue, and Borrower shall continue to be obligated to pay Excess Cash to Lender on each
Scheduled Payment Date until the Debt is paid in full. All remaining sums, if any, in the Excess
Cash Reserve Account shall be disbursed to Borrower’s Account upon the payment in full of the Debt.

     Section 9.9 Operating Expenses; Extraordinary Expenses.

     (a) Concurrently with the establishment of the Cash Management Account, Borrower shall
establish a sub-account of the Cash Management Account into which Borrower shall deposit, on each
Scheduled Payment Date during any Cash Management Period, funds sufficient to pay all Operating
Expenses to be incurred for the following month in accordance with the Annual Budget approved by
Lender (the “Operating Expense Reserve Account.” Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred
to as the “Operating Expense Reserve Funds.” Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, sums from the Operating Expense Reserve Account shall be disbursed by Lender to
Borrower following receipt and approval of Borrower’s written request for the payment of such
Operating Expenses.

     (b) Concurrently with the establishment of the Cash Management Account, Borrower shall
establish a sub-account of the Cash Management Account with Lender or Lender’s agent into which
Borrower shall deposit, on each Scheduled Payment Date during any Cash Management Period, funds
sufficient to pay any Extraordinary Expenses for the following month which have been approved by
Lender (the “Extraordinary Expense Reserve Account.”) Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be
referred to as the “Extraordinary Expense Reserve Funds.” Provided no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, sums from the Extraordinary Expense Reserve Account shall be disbursed by Lender
to Borrower following receipt and approval of Borrower’s written request for the payment of such
Extraordinary Expenses.

ARTICLE X.

CASH MANAGEMENT

     Section 10.1 Lockbox Account and Cash Management Account.

     (a) Borrower covenants that, no later than thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Borrower
will establish and shall maintain, (i) pursuant to a Lockbox Agreement, a non-interest

60

 

bearing Eligible Account into which Borrower shall, and shall cause Manager to,
deposit or cause to be deposited, all Rents and other revenue from the Property (such account, all
funds at any time on deposit therein and any proceeds, replacements or substitutions of such
account or funds therein, are referred to herein as the “Lockbox Account”), and (ii) an interest
bearing Eligible Account into which funds in the Lockbox Account shall be transferred pursuant to
the terms of Section 10.2(b) hereof (such account, the sub-accounts thereof, all funds at any time
on deposit therein and any proceeds, replacements or substitutions of such account or funds
therein, are referred to herein as the “Cash Management Account”).

     (b) The Lockbox Account and Cash Management Account shall each be in the name of Borrower for
the benefit of Lender, provided that Borrower shall be the owner of all funds on deposit in such
accounts for federal and applicable state and local tax purposes (except to the extent Lender
retains any interest earned on the Cash Management Account for its own account following the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default). Sums on deposit in the Cash
Management Account shall not be invested except in such Permitted Investments as determined and
directed by Lender and all income earned thereon shall be the income of Borrower and be applied to
and become part of the Cash Management Account, to be disbursed in accordance with this Article 10.
Neither Lockbox Bank nor Lender shall have any liability for any loss resulting from the investment
of funds in Permitted Investments in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

     (c) The Lockbox Account and Cash Management Account shall be subject to the exclusive dominion
and control of Lender and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, neither Borrower, Manager
nor any other party claiming on behalf of, or through, Borrower or Manager, shall have any right of
withdrawal therefrom or any other right or power with respect thereto.

     (d) Borrower agrees to pay the customary fees and expenses of Deposit Bank (incurred in
connection with maintaining the Lockbox Account) and Lender (incurred in connection with
maintaining the Lockbox Account) and any successors thereto in connection therewith, as separately
agreed by them from time to time.

     (e) Lender shall be responsible for the performance only of such duties with respect to the
Cash Management Account as are specifically set forth herein, and no duty shall be implied from any
provision hereof. Lender shall not be under any obligation or duty to perfonn any act which would
involve it in expense or liability or to institute or defend any suit in respect hereof, or to
advance any of its own monies. Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender and its directors,
employees, officers and agents harmless from and against any loss, cost or damage (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by such parties in
connection with the Cash Management Account other than such as result from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of Lender or intentional nonperformance by Lender of its obligations under this
Agreement.

61

 

     Section 10.2 Deposits and Withdrawals.

     (a) Borrower represents, warrants and covenants that:

          (i) Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Borrower has delivered to Lender a
Tenant Direction Letter with respect to each existing Lease notifying and advising each Tenant
thereunder to send directly to the Lockbox all payments of Rents or any other item payable under
such Leases. In addition, concurrently with the execution of any Lease after the date hereof,
Borrower shall deliver to Lender a Tenant Direction Letter with respect to such Lease. Lender shall
hold all Tenant Direction Letters prior to the occurrence of a Cash Management Period. Borrower
hereby expressly authorizes Lender to deliver any or all of the Tenant Direction Letters to the
applicable Tenants upon the occurrence of a Cash Management Period. If Borrower fails to provide
any such notice (and without prejudice to Lender’s rights with respect to such default), Lender
shall have the right, and Borrower hereby grants to Lender a power of attorney (which power of
attorney shall be coupled with an interest and irrevocable so long as any portion of the Debt
remains outstanding), to sign and deliver a Tenant Direction Letter;

          (ii) Borrower shall, and shall cause Manager to, instruct all Persons that maintain open
accounts with Borrower or Manager with respect to the Property or with whom Borrower or Manager
does business on an “accounts receivable” basis with respect to the Property to deliver all
payments due under such accounts to the Lockbox. Neither Borrower nor Manager shall direct any such
Person to make payments due under such accounts in any other manner;

          (iii) All Rents or other income from the Property shall (A) be deemed additional security for
payment of the Debt and shall be held in trust for the benefit, and as the property, of Lender, (B)
not be commingled with any other funds or property of Borrower or Manager, and (C) if received by
Borrower or Manager notwithstanding the delivery of a Tenant Direction Letter, be deposited in the
Lockbox Account within one (1) Business Day of receipt;

          (iv) Without the prior written consent of Lender, so long as any portion of the Debt remains
outstanding, neither Borrower nor Manager shall terminate, amend, revoke or modify any Tenant
Direction Letter in any manner whatsoever or direct or cause any Tenant to pay any amount in any
manner other than as provided in the related Tenant Direction Letter; and

          (v) So long as any portion of the Debt remains outstanding, neither Borrower, Manager nor any
other Person shall open or maintain any accounts other than the Lockbox Account into which revenues
from the ownership and operation of the Property are deposited. The foregoing shall not prohibit
Borrower from utilizing one or more separate accounts for the disbursement or retention of funds
that have been transferred to Borrower pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement.

     (b) Provided no Event of Default has occurred, at all times other than during a Cash
Management Period, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Borrower shall have the sole
right to withdraw funds on deposit in the Lockbox Account and may do so from time to time. Upon
receipt of notice pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement by Lockbox Bank of the

62

 

commencement of a Cash Management Period or the occurrence of an Event of Default, (i) all
rights of Borrower to the withdrawal of funds from the Lockbox Account shall immediately cease and
be automatically vested with Lender, and (ii) Lender shall have the right to transfer, or cause to
be transferred, and Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to transfer, or cause to be
transferred, and Lender shall transfer, on each Business Day by wire transfer or other method of
transfer mutually agreeable to Lockbox Bank and Lender of immediately available funds, all
collected and available balances in the Lockbox Account to the Cash Management Account to be held
until disbursed by Lender pursuant to Section 10.2(c). Provided no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, all rights of Lender to the withdrawal of funds from the Lockbox Account shall
immediately cease and be automatically vested with Borrower upon the earlier to occur of (a)
payment in full of the Debt or (b) the discontinuation of a Cash Management Period. In the event a
Cash Management Period occurs twice during the term of the Loan, Borrower shall not be entitled to
any rights to the withdrawal of funds from the Lockbox Account during the remaining term of the
Loan, the Cash Management Period shall continue, and Lender shall continue to have the right to the
withdrawal of funds from the Lockbox Account until the Debt is paid in full.

     (c) During a Cash Management Period, on each Scheduled Payment Date (and if such day is not a
Business Day, then the immediately preceding day which is a Business Day) commencing the month
immediately following the month during which the Cash Management Period commences, Borrower hereby
irrevocably authorizes Lender to withdraw or allocate to the sub-accounts of the Cash Management
Account, as the case may be, amounts received in the Cash Management Account, in each case to the
extent that sufficient funds remain therefor:

          (i) funds sufficient to pay the monthly deposits to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account
shall be allocated to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account to be held and disbursed in accordance
with Section 9.6;

          (ii) funds sufficient to pay the Monthly Payment Amount shall be withdrawn and paid to Lender;

          (iii) funds sufficient to pay the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit shall be allocated to
the Replacement Reserve Account to be held and disbursed in accordance with Section 9.5;

          (iv) funds sufficient to pay the Leasing Reserve Monthly Deposit and Termination Fee Deposits
shall be allocated to the Leasing Reserve Account to be held and disbursed in accordance with
Section 9.5;

          (v) funds sufficient to pay any interest accruing at the Default Rate, late payment charges,
if any, and any other sums due and payable to Lender under any of the Loan Documents, shall be
withdrawn and paid to Lender and applied against such items;

          (vi) funds sufficient to pay Lockbox Bank for all costs and expenses incurred by Lockbox Bank
in connection with the maintenance and administration of the Lockbox Account;

63

 

          (vii) during a Cash Management Period, funds sufficient to pay Operating Expenses (to the
extent actually incurred) for the following month incurred in accordance with the related Annual
Budget shall be allocated to the Operating Expense Reserve Account to be held and disbursed in
accordance with Section 9.9;

          (viii) during a Cash Management Period, funds sufficient to pay any Extraordinary Expenses for
the following month which have been approved by Lender shall be allocated to the Extraordinary
Expense Account to be held and disbursed in accordance with Section 9.9;

          (ix) funds in an amount equal to the balance (if any) remaining on deposit in the Cash
Management Account after the foregoing withdrawals and allocations shall, during any Cash
Management Period, be deposited in the Excess Cash Reserve Account to be held and disbursed in
accordance with Section 9.8, or if a Cash Management Period is not in effect, be transferred to
Borrower’s Account.

     (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Borrower acknowledges that Borrower is
responsible for monitoring the sufficiency of funds deposited in the Cash Management Account and
that Borrower is liable for any deficiency in available funds, irrespective of whether Borrower has
received any account statement, notice or demand from Lender or Lender’s servicer. If the amount on
deposit in the Cash Management Account is insufficient to make all of the withdrawals and
allocations described in Section 10.2(c)(i) through (vi) above, Borrower shall deposit such
deficiency into the Cash Management Account within five (5) days (provided that such five (5) day
period shall not constitute a grace period for any default or Event of Default under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document based on a failure to satisfy any monetary obligation provided in any
Loan Document).

     (e) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower hereby irrevocably
authorizes Lender to make any and all withdrawals from the Lockbox Account and Cash Management
Account and transfers between any of the Reserve Accounts as Lender shall determine in Lender’s
sole and absolute discretion and Lender may use all funds contained in any such accounts for any
purpose, including but not limited to repayment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority
as Lender may determine in its sole and absolute discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply
funds as stated herein shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender
under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.

     Section 10.3 Security Interest.

     (a) To secure the full and punctual payment of the Debt and performance of all obligations of
Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower
hereby grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in the Lockbox Account and
Cash Management Account, all interest, cash, checks, drafts, certificates and instruments, if any,
from time to time deposited or held therein, any and all amounts invested in Permitted Investments,
and all “proceeds” (as defined in the UCC as in effect in the state in which the Lockbox Account
and Cash Management Account are located or maintained) of any or all of the foregoing. Furthermore,
Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent

64

 

of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any of the foregoing
or permit any Lien to attach thereto or any levy to be made thereon or any UCC Financing Statements
to be filed with respect thereto. Borrower will maintain the security interest created by this
Section 10.3(a) as a first priority perfected security interest and will defend the right, title
and interest of Lender in and to the Lockbox Account and Cash Management Account against the claims
and demands of all Persons whomsoever.

     (b) Borrower authorizes Lender to file any financing statement or statements required by
Lender to establish or maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interest
granted herein in connection with the Lockbox Account and Cash Management Account. Borrower agrees
that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly and duly
execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be
necessary or desirable, or that Lender may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any
security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby (including, without limitation, any
security interest in and to any Permitted Investments) or to enable Lender to exercise and enforce
its rights and remedies hereunder.

     (c) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may exercise any or all of its rights
and remedies as a secured party, pledgee and lienholder with respect to the Lockbox Account and
Cash Management Account. Without limitation of the foregoing, upon any Event of Default, Lender may
use the Lockbox Account and Cash Management Account for any of the following purposes: (A)
repayment of the Debt, including, but not limited to, principal prepayments and the prepayment
premium applicable to such full or partial prepayment (as applicable); (B) reimbursement of Lender
for all losses, fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees)
suffered or incurred by Lender as a result of such Event of Default; (C) payment of any amount
expended in exercising any or all rights and remedies available to Lender at law or in equity or
under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents; (D) payment of any item as required
or permitted under this Agreement; or (E) any other purpose permitted by applicable law; provided,
however, that any such application of funds shall not cure or be deemed to cure any Event of
Default. Without limiting any other provisions hereof, each of the remedial actions described in
the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable exercise of
Lender’s rights and remedies as a secured party with respect to the Lockbox Account and Cash
Management Account and shall not in any event be deemed to constitute a setoff or a foreclosure of
a statutory banker’s lien. Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any
portion of the Lockbox Account or Cash Management Account to effect a cure of any Event of Default,
or to pay the Debt, or in any specific order of priority. The exercise of any or all of Lender’s
rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents shall not in any
way prejudice or affect Lender’s right to initiate and complete a foreclosure under the Mortgage.

     (d) Definitions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, For
purposes of this Article 10 only, Business Day shall mean a day on which Lender and Lockbox Bank
are both open for the conduct of substantially all of their respective banking business at the
office in the city in which the Note is payable, with respect to Lender and at the office in the
city where the Lockbox Account is maintained, with respect to Lockbox Bank (in both instances,
excluding Saturdays and Sundays).

under this Agreement; provided however, Lender shall only enforce such judgment to the extent of
the Insurance Proceeds and/or Awards.

Principal shall be personally liable to Lender on a joint and several basis for Losses due to:

cash flow from the operation of the Property), charges for labor or materials or other charges that
can create liens on the Property beyond any applicable notice and cure periods specified herein;

          (vi) Borrower’s failure to return or to reimburse Lender for all Personal Property taken from
the Property by or on behalf of Borrower and not replaced with Personal Property of the same

partner thereof; or

          (viii) Borrower’s failure following any Event of Default to deliver to Lender upon demand all
Rents and books and records relating to the Property.

     (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the agreement of Lender not to pursue recourse liability as
set forth in subsection (a) above SHALL BECOME NULL AND VOID and shall be of no further force and
effect and the Debt shall be fully recourse to Borrower and Borrower Principal on a joint and
several basis in the event (i) of a breach by Borrower, Borrower Principal or any SPE Component
Entity (if any) of any of the covenants set forth in Article 6 hereof, to the extent that such
breach is (A) material and (B) is not cured within thirty (30) days of the earlier to occur of

involuntary petition against Borrower from any Person; (v) Borrower files an answer consenting to

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 Mortgage or to require that all

to any Loan Document other than the Note, Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement of
such other Loan Document, dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Loan Document
in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor and (ii) with respect to the Note,
(a) Borrower will execute a reaffirmation of the Debt as evidenced by such Note acknowledging that
Lender has informed Borrower that the Note was lost, stolen destroyed or mutilated and that such
Debt continues to be an obligation and liability of the Borrower as set forth in the Note, a copy
of which shall be attached to such reaffirmation and (b) if requested by Lender, Borrower will
execute a replacement note and Lender or Lender’s custodian (at Lender’s option) shall provide to

     Section 17.2 Recording of Mortgage, etc

     Borrower forthwith upon the execution and delivery of the Mortgage and thereafter, from time
to time, will cause the Mortgage and any of the other Loan Documents creating a lien or security
interest or evidencing the lien hereof upon the Property and each instrument of further assurance
to be filed, registered or recorded in such manner and in such places as may be required by any
present or future law in order to publish notice of and fully to protect and perfect the lien or
security interest hereof upon, and the interest of Lender in, the Property. Borrower will pay all
taxes, filing, registration or recording fees, and all expenses incident to the preparation,
execution, acknowledgment and/or recording of the Note, the Mortgage, the other Loan Documents, any
note, deed of trust or mortgage supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the
Property and any instrument of further assurance, and any modification or amendment of the

Mortgage, any deed of trust or mortgage supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect
to the Property or any instrument of further assurance, and any

78

 

modification or amendment of the foregoing documents, except where prohibited by law so to do.

     Section 17.3 Further Acts etc

acknowledge and deliver all and every further acts, deeds, conveyances, deeds of trust, mortgages,

assurances as Lender shall, from time to time, reasonably require, for the better assuring,
conveying, assigning, transferring, and confirming unto Lender the property and rights hereby
mortgaged, deeded, granted, bargained, sold, conveyed, confirmed, pledged, assigned, warranted and
transferred or intended now or hereafter so to be, or which Borrower may be or may hereafter become
bound to convey or assign to Lender, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the
performance of the terms of this Agreement or for filing, registering or recording the Mortgage, or
for complying with all Legal Requirements. Borrower, on demand, will execute and deliver, and in

tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. If Lender is advised by counsel chosen by it that

State shall require revenue or other stamps to be affixed to the Note, the Mortgage, or any of the
other Loan Documents or impose any other tax or charge on the same, Borrower will pay for the same,
with interest and penalties thereon, if any.

ARTICLE XVIII.

WAIVERS

     Section 18.1 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers 

     The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not
exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower or Borrower
Principal pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity
or otherwise Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or
otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No
delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall
impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such
remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.
A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a
waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or
power consequent thereon.

     Section 18.2 Modification, Waiver in Writing

     No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement, or of the Note, or of any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by
Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by
the party against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective
only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, no notice to, or demand on Borrower, shall entitle Borrower to any other or future
notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

     Section 18.3 Delay Not a Waiver

     Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance
of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege
hereunder, or under the Note or under any other Loan Document, or any other instrument given as
security therefor, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial
exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power,
remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the
due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, Lender
shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other
amounts due under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for
failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

     Section 18.4 Trial by Jury

     BORROWER, BORROWER PRINCIPAL AND LENDER EACH HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY
ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY
SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH

81

 

REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION
THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER,
BORROWER PRINCIPAL AND LENDER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH
ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. EACH OF LENDER, BORROWER
PRINCIPAL AND BORROWER IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS
CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY BORROWER, BORROWER PRINCIPAL AND LENDER.

     Section 18.5 Waiver of Notice 

     Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with
respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly
provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which
Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of
notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect
to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and
expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.

     Section 18.6 Remedies of Borrower

     In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted
unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably
or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary
damages, and Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive
relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine
whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.
Lender agrees that, in such event, it shall cooperate in expediting any action seeking injunctive
relief or declaratory judgment.

     Section 18.7 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets 

     To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns,
waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with
interests in Borrower, and of the Property, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws
pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead
exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat,
reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the
collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of
Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every
other claimant whatsoever.

82

 

     Section 18.8 Waiver of Statute of Limitations 

     Borrower hereby expressly waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the
pleading of any statute of limitations as a defense to payment of the Debt or performance of its
Other Obligations.

     Section 18.9 Waiver of Counterclaim

     Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory
counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.

ARTICLE XIX.

security interest in the Reserve Accounts, the Lockbox Account and the Cash Management Account, the
laws of the state where each such account are located shall apply.

     Section 19.2 Severability

     Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to

remaining provisions of this Agreement.

     Section 19.3 Preferences

     Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and
all payments by Borrower to any portion of the obligations of Borrower hereunder. To the extent

subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be
repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any Creditors Rights Laws, state or federal
law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the
obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in
full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.

ARTICLE XX.

MISCELLANEOUS

     Section 20.1 Survival

     This Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and
in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the making by Lender of the

83

 

Loan and the execution and delivery to Lender of the Note, and shall continue in full force
and effect so long as all or any of the Debt is outstanding and unpaid unless a longer period is
expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Whenever in this Agreement any of the
parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the legal representatives,
successors and assigns of such party. All covenants, promises and agreements in this Agreement, by
or on behalf of Borrower, shall inure to the benefit of the legal representatives, successors and
assigns of Lender.

of Lender and shall be final and conclusive.

     Section 20.3 Headings 

     The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents in this Agreement are included
herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any
other purpose.

     Section 20.4 Schedules Incorporated

     The Schedules annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with
the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.

     Section 20.5 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses 

     Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan
Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are
unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such
documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by
Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such
right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action
or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.

     Section 20.6 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries

     (a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents be solely that of Borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to
create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between
Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee,
beneficiary or lender.

     (b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and
Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to
confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon

84

 

or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or
therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely
and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require
satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender
will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no
other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or
all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion,
Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

     (c) The general partners, members, principals and (if Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners
of Borrower are experienced in the ownership and operation of properties similar to the Property,
and Borrower and Lender are relying solely upon such expertise and business plan in connection with
the ownership and operation of the Property. Borrower is not relying on Lender’s expertise,
business acumen or advice in connection with the Property.

     (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Lender is not undertaking the
performance of (i) any obligations under the Leases; or (ii) any obligations with respect to such
agreements, contracts, certificates, instruments, franchises, permits, trademarks, licenses and
other documents.

     (e) By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed or fulfilled or to
be given to Lender pursuant to this Agreement, the Mortgage, the Note or the other Loan Documents,
including, without limitation, any officer’s certificate, balance sheet, statement of profit and
loss or other financial statement, survey, appraisal, or insurance policy, Lender shall not be
deemed to have warranted, consented to, or affirmed the sufficiency, the legality or effectiveness
of same, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute any warranty or affirmation
with respect thereto by Lender.

     (f) Borrower recognizes and acknowledges that in accepting this Agreement, the Note, the
Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, Lender is expressly and primarily relying on the truth and
accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Article 4 of this Agreement without any
obligation to investigate the Property and notwithstanding any investigation of the Property by
