the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan
Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Loan Documents
unenforceable, and neither Borrower nor Borrower Principal has asserted any
right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.

         SECTION 4.12      BUSINESS PURPOSES.  The Loan is solely for the
business purpose of Borrower, and is not for personal, family, household, or
agricultural purposes.

         SECTION 4.13      COMPLIANCE. To the best of Borrower's knowledge,
Borrower and the Property and the use thereof comply in all material respects
with all Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, building and zoning
ordinances and codes, unless the failure to be in such compliance would not have
a material adverse effect on Borrower, the Property or Borrower's ability to
meet its obligations under the Loan Documents in a timely fashion. To Borrower's
knowledge, Borrower is not in default or violation of any order, writ,
injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority and Borrower has
received no written notice of any such default or violation. There has not been
committed by Borrower or, to Borrower's knowledge, any other Person in occupancy
of or involved with the operation or use of the Property any act or omission
affording any Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against the
Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower's
obligations under any of the Loan Documents.

         SECTION 4.14      FINANCIAL INFORMATION. All financial data, including,
without limitation, the balance sheets, statements of cash flow, statements of

in respect of Borrower, any Borrower Principal and/or the Property (a) are true,
complete and correct in all material respects, (b) accurately represent in all
material respects the financial condition of Borrower, Borrower Principal or the
Property, as applicable, as of the date of such reports, and (c) to the extent
prepared or audited by an independent certified public accounting firm, have
been prepared in accordance with GAAP throughout the periods covered, except as
disclosed therein. Borrower does not have any contingent liabilities,
liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or
anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to Borrower
and reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Property or the
current and/or intended operation thereof, except as referred to or reflected in
said financial statements. Since the date of such financial statements, there
has been no materially adverse change in the financial condition, operations or
business of Borrower or Borrower Principal from that set forth in said financial
statements.

Property without passing over other property) or in recorded easements serving

Insurance Policy. All roads necessary for the use of the Property for its
current purposes have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by

Property has, or is served by, parking to the extent required to comply with all
Legal Requirements.

estate tax purposes as one or more wholly independent tax lot or lots, separate

lots, and no other land or improvements is assessed and taxed together with the
Property or any portion thereof.

         SECTION 4.18      ASSESSMENTS. To Borrower's knowledge after due
inquiry, there are no pending or proposed special or other assessments for

other assessments.

         SECTION 4.19      INSURANCE. Borrower has obtained and has delivered to
Lender certified copies of all Policies reflecting the insurance coverages,
amounts and other requirements set forth in this Agreement. No claims have been
made under any of the Policies, and to Borrower's knowledge, no Person,
including Borrower, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair
the coverage of any of the Policy, unless any such previous claim or act would
not have a material adverse effect on Borrower, the Property or Borrower's
ability to meet its obligations under the Loan Documents in a timely fashion.

         SECTION 4.20      USE OF PROPERTY.  The Property is used exclusively
for retail purposes and other appurtenant and related uses.

certifications, permits, licenses and approvals, including, without limitation,
certificates of completion or occupancy and any applicable liquor license
required for the legal use, occupancy and operation of the Property for the
purpose intended herein, have been obtained and are valid and in full force and
effect unless the failure to have any such certification, permit, license or
approval would not have a material adverse effect on Borrower, the Property or
Borrower's ability to meet

                                      -21-
<PAGE>
its obligations under the Loan Documents in a timely fashion. Borrower shall
keep and maintain all licenses necessary for the operation of the Property for
the purpose intended herein unless such failure would not have a material
adverse effect on Borrower, the Property or Borrower's ability to meet its
obligations under the Loan Documents in a timely fashion. The use being made of
the Property is in material conformity with the certificate of occupancy issued
for the Property.

         SECTION 4.22      FLOOD ZONE. To the best of Borrower's knowledge, none
of the Improvements on the Property are located in an area identified by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency as an area having special flood hazards, or,
if any portion of the Improvements is located within such area, Borrower has
obtained the insurance prescribed in Section 8.1(a)(i).

         SECTION 4.23      PHYSICAL CONDITION. To Borrower's knowledge after due
inquiry, the Property, including, without limitation, all buildings,

systems and all structural components, are in good condition, order and repair
in all material respects. To Borrower's knowledge after due inquiry, there
exists no structural or other material defects or damages in the Property, as a
result of a Casualty or otherwise, and whether latent or otherwise. Borrower has
not received notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any defects
or inadequacies in the Property, or any part thereof, which would adversely

premiums or charges thereon or of any termination or threatened termination of
any policy of insurance or bond.

         SECTION 4.24      BOUNDARIES. (a) None of the Improvements which were
included in determining the appraised value of the Property lie outside the

any of the Improvements so as to materially affect the value or marketability of
the Property unless such encroachment is insured by the Title Insurance Policy
or expressly disclosed on the survey delivered to and reasonably approved by
Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan.

         SECTION 4.25      LEASES AND RENT ROLL. Borrower has delivered to
Lender a true, correct and complete rent roll for the Property (a "RENT ROLL")
which includes all Leases affecting the Property (including schedules for all

ability to meet its obligations under the Loan Documents in a timely fashion,
and Borrower has no monetary obligations to any Tenant under any Lease; (d) all
Rents due and payable under the Leases have been paid and no portion thereof has
been paid for any period more than thirty (30) days in advance; (e) the rent

basis for a claim by the Tenant thereunder for an adjustment to the rent; (f) no

notice and grace periods; (g) to Borrower's knowledge there is no present
material default by the Tenant under any Lease; (h) all security deposits under
the Leases have been collected by Borrower; (i) Borrower is the sole owner of
the entire landlord's interest in each Lease; (j) each Lease is the valid,
binding and enforceable obligation of Borrower and, to the best of Borrower's
knowledge, the applicable Tenant thereunder and there are no agreements with the
Tenants under the Leases other than as expressly set forth in the Leases; (k) no
Person has any possessory interest in, or right to occupy, the Property or any
portion thereof except under the terms of a Lease; (l) none of the Leases
contains any option or offer to purchase or right of first refusal to purchase

         SECTION 4.26      FILING AND RECORDING TAXES. All mortgage, mortgage
recording, stamp, intangible or other similar tax required to be paid by any
Person under applicable Legal Requirements currently in effect in connection
with the execution, delivery, recordation, filing, registration, perfection or

Mortgage, have been paid or will be paid, and, under current Legal Requirements,
the Mortgage is enforceable in accordance with its terms by Lender (or any
subsequent holder thereof).

full force and effect and there is no default thereunder by any party thereto

time and/or the giving of notice would constitute a default thereunder. The base
management fees payable pursuant to the Management Agreement are not greater

Agreement less any tenant reimbursements, and no management fees under the
Management Agreement are accrued and unpaid.

         SECTION 4.28      ILLEGAL ACTIVITY.  No portion of the Property has

become a lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan
Documents.

         SECTION 4.30      PERSONAL PROPERTY. Borrower has paid in full for, and
is the owner of, all material Personal Property (other than tenants' property)
used in connection with the operation of the Property, free and clear of any and
all security interests, liens or encumbrances, except for Permitted Encumbrances
and the Lien and security interest created by the Loan Documents.

federal, state, county, municipal, and city income, personal property and other
tax returns required to have been filed by them and have paid all taxes and

knows of any basis for any additional assessment in respect of any such taxes
and related liabilities for prior years.

REA.

         SECTION 4.36      NO CHANGE IN FACTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES; DISCLOSURE. All
material information submitted by Borrower or its agents to Lender and in all
financial statements, rent rolls, reports, certificates and other documents
submitted in connection with the Loan or in satisfaction of the terms thereof
and all statements of fact made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any other

provided otherwise, all of the representations and warranties of Borrower set

                         ARTICLE 5 - BORROWER COVENANTS

         From the date hereof and until repayment of the Debt in full and
performance in full of all obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents or
the earlier release of the Lien of the Mortgage (and all related obligations) in

Borrower shall do or cause to be done all reasonable things necessary to
preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights,
licenses, permits and franchises and comply with all Legal Requirements
applicable to it and the Property unless the failure to do so would not have a
material adverse effect on Borrower, the Property or Borrower's ability to meet
its obligations under the Loan Documents in a timely fashion. Borrower hereby
covenants and agrees not to commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or
omission affording any Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against
the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower's
obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Borrower shall at all times
maintain, preserve and protect all franchises and trade names used in connection
with the operation of the Property unless such failure would not have a material
adverse effect on Borrower, the Property or Borrower's ability to meet its
obligations under the Loan Documents in a timely fashion.

         (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 Legal Requirements affecting
the Property, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing; (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in
accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower or the
Property is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder; (iii) neither
the Property, any part thereof or interest therein, any of the tenants or
occupants thereof, nor Borrower shall be affected in any material adverse way as
a result of such proceeding; (iv) non-compliance with the Legal Requirements
shall not impose civil (other than late charges and interest) or criminal
liability on Borrower or civil or criminal liability on Lender; (v) Borrower
shall have furnished the security as may be required in the proceeding or by
reasonably required by Lender to ensure compliance

                                      -25-

potential late charges and interest; and (vi) Borrower shall have furnished to
Lender all other items reasonably requested by Lender.

         SECTION 5.2       MAINTENANCE AND USE OF PROPERTY. Borrower shall cause
the Property to be maintained in a good and safe condition and repair. The
Improvements and the Personal Property shall not be removed, demolished or
materially altered (except for normal replacement of the Personal Property)
without the reasonable consent of Lender. If under applicable zoning provisions
the use of all or any portion of the Property is or shall become a nonconforming
use, Borrower will not cause or permit the nonconforming use to be discontinued
or the nonconforming Improvement to be abandoned without the express written
consent of Lender.

         SECTION 5.3       WASTE. Borrower shall not commit or suffer any waste
of the Property or make any change in the use of the Property which will in any
way materially increase the risk of fire or other hazard arising out of the

cause for cancellation of any Policy, or do or permit to be done thereon
anything that may in any way materially impair the value of the Property or the
security for the Loan. 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 Property,
regardless of the depth thereof or the method of mining or extraction thereof.

         SECTION 5.4       TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES. (a) Borrower shall pay all
Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against
the Property or any part thereof prior to delinquency; provided, however,
Borrower's obligation to directly pay Taxes shall be suspended for so long as
Borrower complies with the terms and provisions of Section 9.6 hereof. Borrower
shall furnish to Lender receipts for the payment of the Taxes and the Other
Charges prior to the date the same shall become delinquent (provided, however,
that Borrower is not required to furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes in
the event that such Taxes have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 9.6
hereof). Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid or fully
bonded over pursuant to the terms hereof and discharged any Lien or charge
whatsoever which may be or become a Lien or charge against the Property, and
shall promptly pay for all utility services provided to the Property.

         (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 Taxes or Other Charges, provided that (i)
no Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (ii) 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 and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all
applicable Legal Requirements; (iii) neither the Property nor any part thereof
or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated,
canceled or lost; (iv) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof
pay the amount of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all costs,
interest and penalties which may be payable in connection therewith; (v) such
proceeding shall suspend the collection of such contested Taxes or Other Charges
from the Property; and (vi) Borrower shall

                                      -26-
<PAGE>
furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or deliver to Lender
such reserve deposits as may be reasonably requested by Lender, to insure the
payment of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all interest and
penalties thereon (unless Borrower has paid all of the Taxes or Other Charges
under protest). Lender may pay over any such cash deposit or part thereof held
by Lender to the claimant entitled thereto at any time when, in the judgment of
Lender, the entitlement of such claimant is established or the Property (or part
thereof or interest therein) shall be in material danger of being sold,
forfeited, terminated, canceled or lost or there shall be any material danger of
the Lien of the Mortgage being primed by any related Lien.

         SECTION 5.5       LITIGATION. Borrower shall give prompt written notice
to Lender of any litigation or governmental proceedings pending or threatened in
writing against Borrower which might materially adversely affect Borrower's
condition (financial or otherwise) or business or the Property.

         SECTION 5.6       ACCESS TO PROPERTY.  Subject to the rights of tenants

Borrower's expense cooperate fully with Lender in a commercially reasonable
manner with respect to any proceedings before any court, board or other
Governmental Authority which may in any way adversely affect the rights of
Lender hereunder or any rights obtained by Lender under any of the other Loan
Documents and, in connection therewith, permit Lender, at its election, to
participate in any such proceedings.

         SECTION 5.9       PERFORMANCE BY BORROWER. Subject to any notice and
grace periods contained herein, Borrower shall in a timely manner observe,
perform and fulfill each and every covenant, term and provision to be observed
and performed by Borrower under (i) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
and (ii) any other material agreement or instrument affecting or pertaining to
the Property and any amendments, modifications or changes thereto unless the
failure to so observe, perform and fulfill each such covenant, term and
provision under such other material agreements or instruments affecting or
pertaining to the Property would not have a material adverse effect on Borrower,
the Property or Borrower's ability to meet its obligations under the Loan
Documents in a timely fashion.

         SECTION 5.10      AWARDS; INSURANCE PROCEEDS. Subject to the terms of
Article 8 hereof, Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in obtaining for Lender
the benefits of any Awards or Insurance Proceeds lawfully or equitably payable

                  Property Statements were permitted to be provided hereunder
                  pursuant to subsection (i) above, Borrower shall instead
                  provide Acquired Property Statements for such corresponding
                  period).

                           (C)      Not later than 75 days after the end of each

                           (D)      Within ten business days after notice from
                  the Lender in connection with the Securitization of this Loan,

                  date (each an "OFFERING DOCUMENT DATE") of each Disclosure
                  Document, Borrower shall have provided Lender with all
                  financial statements as described in subsection (f)(i) above;
                  provided that the fiscal year and interim periods for which
                  such financial statements shall be provided shall be
                  determined as of such Offering Document Date.

                  (ii)     If requested by Lender, Borrower shall provide
         Lender, promptly upon request, with summaries of the financial
         statements referred to in Section 5.11(c)(i) Section 5.11(c) hereof if,
         at the time a Disclosure Document is being prepared for a
         Securitization, it is expected that the principal amount of the Loan

         during which the Loan and any Affiliated Loans are included in a
         Securitization does, equal or exceed 10% (but is less than 20%) of the
         aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included or expected
         to be included, as applicable, in a Securitization. Such summaries
         shall meet the requirements for "summarized financial information," as
         defined in Section 210.1-02(bb) of Regulation S-X, or such other
         requirements as may be determined to be necessary or appropriate by
         Lender.

                  (iii)    All financial statements provided by Borrower
         hereunder pursuant to Section 5.11(c)(i) and (ii) hereof shall be
         prepared in accordance with GAAP, and shall meet the requirements of
         Regulation S-X and other applicable legal requirements. All financial
         statements referred to in Section 5.11(c)(i)(A) and (C) above shall be
         audited by Acceptable Accountants in accordance with Regulation S-X and
         all other applicable legal requirements, shall be accompanied by the
         manually executed report of the independent accountants thereon, which
         report shall meet the requirements of Regulation S-X and all other
         applicable legal requirements, and shall be further accompanied by a
         manually

                                      -30-
<PAGE>

         substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, to the inclusion of such
         financial statements in any Disclosure Document and any Exchange Act
         Filing and to the use of the name of such Acceptable Accountants and
         the reference to such Acceptable Accountants as "experts" in any
         Disclosure Document and Exchange Act Filing (as defined below), all of
         which shall be provided at the same time as the related financial
         statements are required to be provided. All financial statements
         (audited or unaudited) provided by Borrower under this Section 5.11
         shall be certified by the chief financial officer or administrative
         member of Borrower, which certification shall state that such financial
         statements meet the requirements set forth in the first sentence of
         this Section 5.11(c)(iii).

                  (iv)     If requested by Lender, Borrower shall provide
         Lender, promptly upon request, with any other or additional financial
         statements, or financial, statistical or operating information, as
         Lender shall reasonably determine to be required pursuant to Regulation
         S-X or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other
         legal requirements in connection with any Disclosure Document or any
         filing under or pursuant to the Exchange Act in connection with or
         relating to a Securitization (hereinafter an "EXCHANGE ACT FILING") or
         as shall otherwise be reasonably requested by the Lender.

                  (v)      In the event Lender reasonably determines, in
         connection with a Securitization, that the financial statements
         required in order to comply with Regulation S-X or other legal
         requirements are other than as provided herein, then notwithstanding
         the provisions of Section 5.11(c) hereof, Lender may request, and
         Borrower shall promptly provide, such combination of Acquired Property
         Statement and/or Standard Statements or such other financial statements
         as Lender reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate for such
         compliance.

                  (vi)     Any reports, statements or other information required
         to be delivered under this Agreement shall be delivered in paper form
         and in the event that Lender requires financial statements in
         connection with subsection (c) above because the Loan when combined
         with the principal amount of any Affiliated Loans equal or exceed 20%
         of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included in a
         Securitization (defined below), Borrower shall deliver such reports,
         statements and other information (A) on a diskette, and (B) if
         requested by Lender and within the capabilities of Borrower's data
         systems without change or modification thereto, in electronic form and
         prepared using Microsoft Word for Windows or WordPerfect for Windows
         files (which files may be prepared using a spreadsheet program and
         saved as word processing files).

         (d)      Borrower and Borrower Principal shall furnish Lender with such
other additional financial or management information (including state and
federal tax returns) as may, from time to time, be reasonably required by Lender
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, and shall furnish to
Lender and its agents convenient facilities for the examination and audit of any
such books and records; provided, however, unless required pursuant to the terms
hereof, no such additional financial information of Borrower or Borrower
Principal will be required to be audited.

                                      -31-

         (e)      All items requiring the certification of Borrower shall,
except where Borrower is an individual, require a certificate executed by the
general partner, managing member or chief executive officer of Borrower, as
applicable (and the same rules shall apply to any sole shareholder, general
partner or managing member which is not an individual).

         (f)      Without limiting any other rights available to Lender under
this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, in the event Borrower
shall fail to timely furnish Lender any financial document or statement in
accordance with this Section 5.11, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender a
non-refundable charge in the amount of $500 for each such failure. The payment
of such amount shall not be construed to relieve Borrower of any Event of
Default hereunder arising from such failure.

         SECTION 5.12      ESTOPPEL STATEMENT. (a) After request by Lender,
Borrower shall within fifteen (15) Business Days furnish Lender with a

original principal amount of the Note, (ii) the rate of interest on the Note,
(iii) the unpaid principal amount of the Note, (iv) the date installments of
interest and/or principal were last paid, (v) any offsets or defenses to the
payment of the Debt, if any, and (vi) that the Note, this Agreement, the

and have not been modified or if modified, giving particulars of such
modification.

         (b)      Borrower shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
deliver to Lender, promptly upon Lender's request (but not more frequently than
once in any twelve (12) month period unless requested by an Investor, a Rating
Agency or Lender has a reasonable belief that the circumstances regarding the
status of Lease or the occupancy of a Tenant has changed), duly executed
estoppel certificates from any one or more Tenants as required by Lender
attesting to such facts regarding the related Lease as Lender may reasonably
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,
except as security, and that the Tenant claims no defense or offset against the
full and timely performance of its obligations under the Lease.

         SECTION 5.13      LEASING MATTERS. (a) Borrower may enter into a
proposed Lease (including the renewal or extension of an existing Lease (a
"RENEWAL LEASE"); provided, however for the purpose of this Section 5.13, a
Renewal Lease shall not include the renewal or extension of an existing Lease
pursuant to the exercise by a tenant of an option to renew or extend pursuant to
the terms of such existing 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 and the Property taken as a whole) as of the
date such Lease is executed by Borrower, (ii) is an arm's-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 Mortgage and the Tenant thereunder agrees to
attorn to Lender, (v) does not contain any option, offer, right of first
refusal, or other similar right to acquire all or any portion of the Property,
except for expansion options, unless when exercised would cause such Lease to
constitute a Major Lease (vi) has a base term of ten (10) years or less
excluding options to renew

                                      -32-
<PAGE>
and a lease term of twenty (20) years or less including options to renew, (vii)
has rent credits, free rents or monetary concessions granted thereunder
(excluding any tenant improvement allowance) not in excess of the then current
market standards, but in no event in excess of three (3) months base rent, and
(viii) subject to any changes permitted pursuant to Subsection (i) above, is
written on the standard form of lease reasonably approved by Lender or another
form of lease provided such other form is commercially reasonable and required
by a nationally or regionally recognized tenant. All proposed Leases which do
not satisfy the requirements set forth in this subsection shall be subject to
the prior reasonable approval of Lender, 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.

         (b)      Borrower (i) shall observe and perform all of the material
obligations imposed upon the landlord 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) 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 landlord's interest in any of the Leases or the
Rents other than the assignment created by the Loan Documents; and (vi) shall
not consent to any assignment of or subletting under any Major Leases not in
accordance with their terms, without the prior written consent of Lender, which
consent rights of Lender shall be the same as those provided to Borrower in the
applicable Lease.

         (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 in connection with a buyout or otherwise, 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 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 reasonable approval of Lender, 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,
unless expressly required pursuant to the terms of a Major Lease, Borrower shall
not, without the prior written reasonable consent of Lender, enter into, renew,
extend, amend, modify, waive any material

                                      -33-
<PAGE>
provisions of, terminate, reduce Rents under, accept a surrender of space under,
or shorten the term of any Major Lease.

         (e)      Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (i) enter into,
renew (except if such renewal is pursuant to a renewal option contained in an
existing Lease), extend, amend, modify, waive any provisions of any Lease after
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and (ii)
terminate, reduce Rents under, accept a surrender of space under, or shorten the
term of any Lease during a Lockbox Cash Flow Sweep Period; provided, however,
provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may
terminate or accept a surrender of a Lease (other than a Major Lease) during a
Lockbox Cash Flow Sweep Period if (a) the tenant thereunder is in default beyond
all applicable notice and grace periods or (b) Borrower has leased the space
demised under such Lease, which new Lease (1) shall be subject to the terms and
conditions of this Section 5.13 and (2) shall be on terms no less favorable to
Borrower (including, without limitation, as to rent and lease term) that the
Lease which Borrower intends to so terminate or accept surrender of.

         (f)      Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.13, to the extent
that Lender's prior written consent or approval is required pursuant to this
Section 5.13, Lender shall have seven (7) Business Days from receipt of such
written request and any and all required information and documentation relating
thereto in which to grant or deny such consent or approval, provided, such
request to Lender is marked in bold lettering with the following language:
"LENDER'S RESPONSE IS REQUIRED WITHIN SEVEN (7) BUSINESS DAYS OF RECEIPT OF THIS
NOTICE PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF A LOAN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED AND
LENDER" and the envelope containing the request must be marked "PRIORITY". In
the event Lender fails to grant or deny its consent or approval within such
time, Lender's consent or approval, as applicable, shall be deemed given.
Borrower shall be required to provide Lender with such information and
documentation as may be reasonably required by Lender, including without
limitation, lease comparables and other market information as reasonably
required by Lender.

         SECTION 5.14      PROPERTY MANAGEMENT.

         (a)      Borrower shall (i) promptly perform and observe all of the
material covenants required to be performed and observed by it under the
Management Agreement and do all things necessary to preserve and to keep
unimpaired its material rights thereunder; (ii) promptly notify Lender of any
material default beyond applicable notice and cure periods under the Management
Agreement of which it is aware; (iii) promptly deliver to Lender a copy of any
notice of default or other material notice received by Borrower under the

satisfactory to Lender, it being understood and agreed that the management fee
for such replacement manager shall not exceed then prevailing market rates.

         (c)      Intentionally Omitted.

         (d)      Other than in connection with the transfer of the management
of the Property from Bradford to NXL pursuant to the NXL Management Agreement or
pursuant to Section 4 of the Assignment of Management Agreement with NXL,
Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed): (i) surrender,
terminate or cancel the Management Agreement or otherwise replace Manager or
enter into any other management agreement with respect to the Property; (ii)
reduce or consent to the reduction of the term of the Management Agreement;
(iii) increase or consent to the increase of the amount of any charges under the
Management Agreement; or (iv) otherwise modify, change, supplement, alter or
amend, or waive or release any of its rights and remedies under, the Management

         (b) Borrower further covenants and agrees to deliver to Lender such
certifications or other evidence from time to time throughout the term of the

substantially similar to those of such SPE Component Entity and, if an opinion
letter pertaining to substantive consolidation was required at closing, deliver
a new opinion letter acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies with respect
to the new SPE Component Entity and its equity owners. If Borrower is a

set forth in Section 6.1 hereof. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender,
prior to or contemporaneously with the effective date of any such change, any

obtains one, Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of such organizational
identification number.

         SECTION 6.3 BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS. Borrower will qualify to do
business and will remain in good standing under the laws of the State as and to
the extent the same are required for the ownership, maintenance, management and
operation of the Property.

         SECTION 6.4 INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR.

         (a) The organizational documents of the SPE Component Entity (if any)
shall provide that at all times there shall be at least two duly appointed

been at any time during the preceding five years, and shall not be at any time
while serving as a director of such SPE Component Entity, either (i) a

<PAGE>
supplier or customer; or (iv) a member of the immediate family of any such
shareholder, officer, director, partner, member, employee, supplier or customer.

         (b) The organizational documents of the SPE Component Entity (if any)
shall provide that the board of directors of such SPE Component Entity shall not
take any action which, under the terms of any certificate of incorporation,
by-laws or any voting trust agreement with respect to any common stock, requires
an unanimous vote of the board of directors of such SPE Component Entity of
Borrower unless at the time of such action there shall be at least two members
of the board of directors who are Independent Directors. Such SPE Component
Entity will not without the unanimous written consent of its board of directors
including the Independent Directors, on behalf of itself or Borrower (i) file or
consent to the filing of any petition, either voluntary or involuntary, to take
advantage of any applicable Creditors Rights Laws; (ii) seek or consent to the
appointment of a receiver, liquidator or any similar official; (iii) take any
action that might cause such entity to become insolvent; or (iv) make an

provided,

                                      -41-
<PAGE>
further that, with respect to each transfer referred to in this subsection (f),

released from its obligations under the Loan from and after the date of such
assumption.

         Additionally, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is

the owners of the beneficial interests in Borrower may, at any time after the
earlier of (i) the closing of a Securitization or (ii) December 1, 2004, incur
indebtedness (the "MEZZANINE LOAN"), provided (a) the amount of such Mezzanine
Loan shall not exceed at the time of closing of such Mezzanine Loan, an amount
which, when added to the original principal balance of the Note, results in a
loan-to-value ratio not in excess of the Permitted LTV and the more favorable to
Borrower of (1) a minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio of 1.40 to 1:00 and (2) a
Debt Service Coverage Ratio and a loan constant equal to the then current

         SECTION 7.4 LENDER'S RIGHTS. Subject to Section 7.5 hereof, Lender

hereunder upon (a) a modification of

                                      -42-
<PAGE>
the terms hereof and on assumption of the Note and the other Loan Documents as
so modified by the proposed Prohibited Transfer, (b) receipt of payment of a
transfer fee equal to 1% of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and
all of Lender's reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with
such Prohibited Transfer, (c) receipt of written confirmation from the Rating
Agencies that the Prohibited Transfer will not result in a downgrade, withdrawal
or qualification of the initial, or if higher, then current ratings issued in
connection with a Securitization, or if a Securitization has not occurred, any
ratings to be assigned in connection with a Securitization, (d) the proposed
transferee's continued compliance with the covenants set forth in this Agreement
(including, without limitation, the covenants in Article 6), and the other Loan
Documents, (e) unless the existing Manager continues to manage the Property or a
Qualified Manager in engaged to manage the Property, a new manager for the
Property and a new management agreement reasonably satisfactory to Lender, and
(f) the satisfaction of such other conditions and/or legal opinions as Lender
shall determine in its reasonable discretion to be in the interest of Lender.
All reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender shall be payable by
Borrower whether or not Lender consents to the Prohibited 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 a Prohibited Transfer made without Lender's consent. This
provision shall apply to each and every Prohibited Transfer, whether or not
Lender has consented to any previous Prohibited Transfer. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Article 7, in the event a substantive
non-consolidation opinion was delivered to Lender and the Rating Agencies in
connection with the closing of the Loan, and if any Prohibited Transfer results
in any Person and its Affiliates owning in excess of forty-nine percent (49%) of
the ownership interests in a Restricted Party, Borrower shall, prior to such
transfer, and in addition to any other requirement for Lender consent contained
herein, deliver a revised substantive non-consolidation opinion to Lender
reflecting such Prohibited Transfer, which opinion shall be in form, scope and
substance reasonably acceptable in all respects to Lender and the Rating
Agencies.

         SECTION 7.5 ASSUMPTION. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this Article 7, Borrower shall have the right to cause a Sale or Pledge of the
Property in its entirety to, and the related assumption of the Loan by, any
Person (a "TRANSFEREE") provided that each of the following terms and conditions
are satisfied:

         (a) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

         (b) Borrower shall have (i) delivered written notice to Lender of the
terms of such prospective Sale or Pledge not less than sixty (60) days before
the date on which such Sale or Pledge 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 $25,000. Unless the proposed Sale or Pledge of the Property is
to a Qualified Transferee, (i) if the proposed Sale or Pledge is prior to a
Securitization, the proposed Sale or Pledge is subject to, among other things,
the prior written consent of Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed or (ii) if the proposed Sale or Pledge is after a
Securitization, the proposed Sale or Pledge is subject to, among other things,
the receipt of written confirmation from the Rating Agencies that the Prohibited
Transfer will not result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the
initial, or if higher, then current ratings issued in

                                      -43-
<PAGE>
connection with a Securitization. In connection with the forgoing, if Lender has
the right to approve or disapprove the proposed Sale or Pledge it shall do so
based on, among other things, (i) its then current underwriting and credit
requirements for similar loans secured by similar properties which loans are
sold in the secondary market and (ii) 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 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 Sale or Pledge, (i) a non-refundable assumption fee in an amount equal
to (1) $175,000 for the first such Sale or Pledge and related assumption and (2)
one-half of one percent (.5%) of the original principal balance of the Note for
any subsequent Sale or Pledge and related assumption, and (ii) all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred
by Lender in connection with the Sale or Pledge;

         (d) Transferee assumes and agrees 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 Sale or Pledge, Transferee and its constituent
partners, members or shareholders as a prudent institutional mortgage lender
would reasonably require, shall execute, without any cost or expense to Lender,
such documents and agreements as a prudent institutional mortgage lender would
reasonably require to evidence and effectuate said assumption;

         (e) Borrower and Transferee, without any cost to Lender, shall furnish
any information would be reasonably requested by an institutional mortgage
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
which would be reasonably requested by a prudent institutional mortgage 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 reasonably deem necessary
at the time of the Sale or Pledge, all in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to a prudent institutional mortgage 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

                                      -44-
<PAGE>
members of Transferee. Transferee and such constituent partners, members or
shareholders of Transferee (as the case may be), as a prudent institutional
mortgage lender would reasonably 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;

         (i) Transferee shall furnish an opinion of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to a prudent institutional mortgage 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 (E) with respect to such other matters as Lender may
reasonably request;

         (j) Intentionally Omitted;

         (k) Borrower's obligations under the contract of sale pursuant to which
the Sale or Pledge is proposed to occur shall expressly be subject to the
satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Section 7.5; and

         (l) in the event a substantive non-consolidation opinion was required
in connection with the closing of the Loan, Transferee shall, prior to such Sale
or Pledge, deliver a substantive non-consolidation opinion to Lender, which
opinion shall be in form, scope and substance reasonably acceptable in all
respects to a prudent institutional mortgage lender and the Rating Agencies.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Lender consent to a
Sale or Pledge of the Property and related assumption prior to a Securitizaton
if the consideration to be paid by the Transferee to Borrower, as reasonably
determined by Lender, is less than the appraised value of the Property, as such
appraised value was determined by Lender at the time of the closing of the Loan.

         A consent by Lender with respect to a Sale or Pledge 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 if Lender
has such right pursuant to the terms hereof.

         Provided the Transferee has assumed all of Borrower's obligations and
liabilities in a manner reasonably acceptable to Lender, Borrower shall be
released from its obligation under the Loan from and after the date of the Sale
or Pledge and related assumption and provided that a either (a) a Qualified
Transferee or (b) a substitute entity reasonably acceptable to Lender, has

                                      -45-
<PAGE>
assumed all of Borrower Principal's obligations and liabilities in a manner
reasonably acceptable to Lender, Borrower Principal shall be released from its
obligations under the Loan from and after the date of such Sale or Pledge and
related assumption.

           ARTICLE 8 - INSURANCE; CASUALTY; CONDEMNATION; RESTORATION

         SECTION 8.1 INSURANCE.

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

             (i) comprehensive all risk insurance on the Improvements and the
         Personal Property, in each case (A) in an amount equal to one hundred
         percent (100%) of the "Full Replacement Cost," which for purposes of
         this Agreement shall mean actual replacement value (exclusive of costs
         of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings) with a
         waiver of depreciation; (B) if a co-insurance provision applies,
         containing an agreed amount endorsement with respect to the
         Improvements and Personal Property waiving all co-insurance provisions
         other than those relating to Personal Property; (C) providing for no
         deductible in excess of $50,000 for all such insurance coverage; and
         (D) if any of the Improvements or the use of the Property shall at any
         time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses, providing
         coverage for contingent liability from Operation of Building Laws,
         Demolition Costs and Increased Cost of Construction Endorsements and
         containing an "Ordinance or Law Coverage" or "Enforcement" endorsement.
         In addition, Borrower shall obtain: (y) if any portion of the
         Improvements is currently or at any time in the future located in a
         "special flood hazard area" designated by the Federal Emergency
         Management Agency, flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to the
         maximum amount of such insurance available 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;
         and (z) earthquake insurance in amounts and in form and substance
         reasonably satisfactory to Lender in the event the Property is located
         in an area with a high degree of seismic risk, provided that the
         insurance pursuant to clauses (y) and (z) hereof shall be on terms
         consistent with the comprehensive all risk insurance policy required
         under this subsection (i);

             (ii) commercial general liability insurance against claims for
         personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring
         upon, in or about the Property, with such insurance (A) to be on the
         so-called "occurrence" form with a general aggregate limit of not less
         than $5,000,000 where the Improvements do not contain elevators and
         $6,000,000 where the Improvements contain elevators and a per
         occurrence limit of not less than $1,000,000 where the Improvements do
         not contain elevators and $6,000,000 where the Improvements contain
         elevators, which commercial general liability insurance may be obtained
         with multiple policies or with an umbrella policy; (B) to continue at
         not less than the aforesaid limit until required to be changed by
         Lender in writing by reason of changed economic conditions making such
         protection inadequate; and (C) to cover at least the following hazards:
         (1) premises and operations; (2) products and completed

                                      -46-
<PAGE>
         operations on an "if any" basis and (3) contractual liability to the
         extent the same is available;

             (iii) loss of rents insurance or business income insurance, as
         applicable, (A) with loss payable to Lender; (B) covering all risks
         required to be covered by the insurance provided for in subsection (i)
         above; and (C) which provides that after the physical loss to the
         Improvements and Personal Property occurs, the loss of rents or income,
         as applicable, will be insured until such rents or income, as
         applicable, either return to the same level that existed prior to the
         loss, or the expiration of twenty-four (24) months, whichever first
         occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end
         of such period. The amount of such loss of rents or business income
         insurance, as applicable, 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
         period of coverage as required above. All proceeds payable to Lender
         pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender in Permitted
         Investments selected by Lender with the interest accruing for the
         benefit of Borrower, said interest to be held in an escrow account, and
         shall be applied to the obligations secured by the Loan Documents from
         time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Note; 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 in the Note,
         this Agreement and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such
         amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such loss of rents or
         business income insurance, as applicable;

             (iv) at all times during which structural construction, repairs or
         alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, and only
         if the Property coverage form does not otherwise apply, (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 (i) above 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 (i) above, (3) including
         permission to occupy the Property, and (4) with an agreed amount
         endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;

             (v) 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; and

             (vii) 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.

                                      -47-
<PAGE>
         (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 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 "AA-" or better by
S&P. 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. Unless Borrower is depositing sufficient amounts
into the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account for the payment of the Insurance
Premiums pursuant to Section 9.6 hereof, not less than ten (10) days prior to
the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender,
certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies accompanied by evidence
satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the "INSURANCE
PREMIUMS") shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.

         (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, and to the extent
commercially available, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a
so-called New York 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 without at least
         thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Lender and any other party
         named therein as an additional insured unless such cancellation is the
         result of non-payment of the Insurance Premiums, in which case at least
         ten (10) days' prior written notice to Lender and any other party named
         therein as an additional insured shall be required;

             (iii) the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if
         the Policies have not been renewed thirty (30) days prior to its
         expiration, unless such non-renewal is the result of the of non-payment
         of the Insurance Premiums, in which case at least ten (10) days' prior
         written notice to Lender shall be required; and

                                      -48-
<PAGE>
             (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
reasonably necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without
limitation, obtaining such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion
deems reasonably 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, whether or not any Net Proceeds are made available pursuant to Section 8.4.
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.

         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 reasonably 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 reasonable, out-of-pocket 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:

                                      -49-
<PAGE>
         (a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than $250,000 and the costs of
completing the Restoration shall be less than $250,000, 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 $250,000 or the
costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than $250,000,
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 (vii) 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 (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 or (2) in the event the
             Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than fifteen percent
             (15%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, such land is
             located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and no
             portion of the Improvements is located on such land;

                  (C) Leases covering in the aggregate at least sixty percent
             (60%) 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 ninety (90) 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 reasonably satisfied that any operating
             deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and
             interest under the Note, which

                                      -50-
<PAGE>
             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 or, at Borrower's option, other
             security reasonably acceptable to Lender;

                  (F) Lender shall be reasonably 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 Major Lease 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) or such other security reasonably acceptable to Lender;

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

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

                  (I) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not
             result in the loss of material 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 reasonably 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 in Permitted
         Investments selected by Lender with the interest accruing for the
         benefit of Borrower, said interest to be held in such escrow account,
         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 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 (B)
         there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic's or
         materialman's liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other
         liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property which
         have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and
         discharged of record or in the alternative fully

                                      -51-
<PAGE>
         insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the
         Title Insurance Policy.

             (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"). 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 $100,000 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 reasonable
         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 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 a search of title to the Property effective to the
         date of the disbursement, which search shows that no mechanic's or
         materialman's liens or other Liens 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 (other than the lien of
         the Permitted Encumbrances). If required by Lender, the release of any
         such portion of the Restoration

                                      -52-
<PAGE>
         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 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 (1) the remaining
         balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender
         and (2) the unapplied proceeds of the insurance required by Section
         8.1(a)(iii) hereof then held by Lender, if any, 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 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 reasonable 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
reasonably designate. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, provided
no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if Lender does not make Net
Proceeds available for Restoration (the "RETAINED 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
there shall be no prepayment penalty, prepayment premium, make whole or
defeasance costs associated with such reduction of the Debt; and (ii) Borrower
shall not be required to repair or restore that portion of the Property relating
to the Retained Net Proceeds but Borrower shall be required to (A) 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, and (B) repair or restore the Property
such that it is a functional development similar in character to the use and
operation of the Property prior to any such Casualty or Condemnation.

                                      -53-
<PAGE>
         (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 9 - RESERVE FUNDS

         SECTION 9.1 REQUIRED CONSTRUCTION.

         Borrower shall complete the construction of the Property and pay all
Tenant Improvements and Leasing Commissions as set forth on Schedule I attached
hereto and made a part hereof (the "REQUIRED CONSTRUCTION"). Borrower shall
complete the Required Construction in a good and workmanlike manner. Borrower
shall establish on the date hereof an Eligible Account with Lender to fund the
Required Construction (the "REQUIRED CONSTRUCTION ACCOUNT") into which Borrower
shall deposit on the date hereof the amount of $2,794,855.00. Amounts so
deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the "REQUIRED CONSTRUCTION FUNDS".

         SECTION 9.2 REPLACEMENTS.

         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 (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.

         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
with Lender to be funded in accordance with Section 9.3(c) (the "LEASING RESERVE
ACCOUNT") into which no deposit shall be required on the Closing Date. All
amounts deposited in the Leasing Reserve Account, including, without limitation,
the Anchor Tenant Funds, shall hereinafter be referred to as the "LEASING
RESERVE FUNDS."

         (c) Following an Anchor Tenant Event, prior to Lender making any funds
available from the Lockbox Account, Borrower shall deposit into the Leasing
Reserve Account on each Scheduled Payment Date a monthly amount equal to $1.50
multiplied by the square footage of the Vacated Anchor Space (such amounts
shall, with respect to each such Vacated Anchor Space, be referred to as the
"INDIVIDUAL ANCHOR TENANT FUNDS" and collectively be referred to as the "ANCHOR
TENANT FUNDS"). Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, upon the
earlier to occur of (i) Borrower having deposited an amount equal to the Maximum
Anchor

                                      -54-
<PAGE>
Tenant Deposit for each Anchor Tenant that has vacated its space at the Property
(each such space, a "VACATED ANCHOR SPACE") or (ii) delivery to Lender of
evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that Borrower has leased all of the
applicable Vacated Anchor Space pursuant to the terms hereof, including, without
limitation, Section 5.13 hereof, then no further deposits attributable to such
Vacated Anchor Space shall be required pursuant to this Section 9.3(c).

         SECTION 9.4 REQUIRED WORK.

         Borrower shall diligently pursue all Required Construction and all
Tenant Improvements (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 $100,000, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 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, without providing any prior notice
to Borrower, to withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory Required Work and,
after ten (10) days prior written notice to Borrower, to proceed under existing
contracts or to contract with third parties to complete such Required Work and
to apply the applicable Reserve Funds, toward the labor and materials necessary
to complete such Required Work 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 reasonable out-of-pocket 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

                                      -55-
<PAGE>
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 9.3 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.

         (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
9.3 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 9.3.
Borrower shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to 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 9.3 or the completion of Required Work pursuant to this Section 9.3.

         (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 $500 for each such
inspection. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an
appropriate independent qualified professional reasonably 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 and remain 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 material applicable Legal
Requirements and applicable insurance requirements including, without
limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental
regulations, and requirements of insurance underwriters.

                                      -56-
<PAGE>
         (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 Agreement, Lender shall disburse to Borrower
amounts from (i) the Required Construction Account to the extent necessary to
reimburse Borrower for the actual costs of the applicable Required Construction
and (ii) the Leasing Reserve Account to the extent necessary to reimburse
Borrower for the actual costs of Tenant Improvements and/or Leasing Commissions
incurred in connection with a replacement Lease, provided, (A) such replacement
Lease was entered into in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, (B)
such replacement Lease covers all of the applicable Vacated Anchor Space, (C)
such Leasing Commissions are reasonable and customary for properties similar to
the Property and the portion of the Property leased for which such Leasing
Commissions are due, and (D) the amount of such Leasing Commissions are
determined pursuant to arm's-length transactions between Borrower and any
leasing agent to which a Leasing Commission is due, and excluding any Leasing
Commissions which shall be due any member, general partner or shareholder of
Borrower or any affiliate of Borrower. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence,
in no event shall Lender be required to disburse funds (i) from any of the
Reserve Accounts if an Event of Default exists, (ii) that would cause the amount
of funds remaining in the Required Construction Account after such disbursement
(other than with respect to the final disbursement) to be less than the then
current estimated cost of completing all of the remaining Required Construction
or (iii) from the Leasing Reserve Account for any Vacated Anchor Space in excess
of the applicable Individual Anchor Tenant Funds. Provided no Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall release any remaining applicable
Individual Anchor Tenant Funds to Borrower upon receipt of proof of payment in
full of all Leasing Commissions and Tenant Improvements relating to the
applicable Vacated Anchor Space and receipt by Lender of a written estoppel
reasonably acceptable to Lender from the replacement tenant for the applicable
Vacated Anchor Space which shall state, among other things, that the Tenant
Improvements have been completed in a manner satisfactory to such replacement
Tenant and that the replacement Lease is in full force and effect.

         (b) Each request for disbursement from any of the Reserve Accounts
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 and (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. With each request Borrower shall certify
that to the best of Borrower's knowledge, all Required Work has been performed
in accordance with all Legal Requirements. Except as provided in Section 9.5(d),
each request for disbursement shall be made only after (i) full completion of
each item of the Required Work, (ii) full performance by the leasing agent of
its obligations (in the case of each Leasing

                                      -57-
<PAGE>
Commission) or (iii) full payment to a Tenant of any applicable tenant
improvement allowance, 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) Borrower shall pay all invoices in connection with the Required
Work with respect to which a disbursement is requested prior to submitting such
request for disbursement from the Reserve Accounts or, at the request of
Borrower, Lender will issue joint checks, payable to Borrower and the
contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic, subcontractor or other party to
whom payment is due in connection with the Required Work. In the case of
payments made by joint check, Lender may require a waiver of lien from each
Person receiving payment prior to Lender's disbursement of the Reserve Funds. In
addition, as a condition to any disbursement, Lender may require Borrower to
obtain lien waivers from each contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or
subcontractor who receives payment in an amount equal to or greater than $15,000
for completion of its work or delivery of its materials. 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 (or, in the event
that payment to such contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or
materialmen is to be made by a joint check, the release of lien shall be
effective through the date covered by the previous release of funds request). In
the case of Leasing Commissions, payment shall be made to any leasing agent to
which a Leasing Commission is due in the amount of invoices submitted by such
leasing agent, provided all of the other conditions for disbursements for such
Leasing Commissions are satisfied.

         (d) If (i) the cost of any item of Required Work exceeds $25,000, (ii)
the contractor performing such Required Work requires periodic payments pursuant
to terms of a written contract, and (iii) Lender has reasonably approved in
writing in advance such periodic payments, a request for disbursement from the
Reserve Accounts may be made and such funds disbursed 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, and (C) all other conditions in this Agreement
for disbursement have been satisfied.

         (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) $10,000 or (ii) the
total cost of the Required Work for which the disbursement is requested.

         (f) Intentionally Omitted.

         (g) Intentionally Omitted.

         (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.

                                      -58-
<PAGE>
         (i) If the funds in any Reserve Account (other than the Leasing Reserve
Account, the disbursement of which shall be in accordance with Section 9.5(a)
hereof) 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. In allocating any such excess, Lender may deal with the
Person shown on Lender's records as being the owner of the Property. If at any
time Lender reasonably determines that the Reserve Funds (other than in the
Leasing Reserve Account) 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)
Business Days after notice from Lender to Borrower requesting payment thereof.

         (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) Intentionally Omitted.

         (l) Upon payment in full of the Debt, all amounts remaining on deposit,
if any, in the Leasing Reserve 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. Upon the earlier to occur of (i)
the completion of all Required Construction to the reasonable satisfaction of
Lender and the full performance by the leasing agent of its obligations with
respect to any Leasing Commissions, (ii) the completion of all Required
Construction to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender (other than Tenant
Improvements and Leasing Commissions relating solely to the Vacant Space) and
delivery to Lender of evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender that the Property
has at least a ninety-three percent (93%) actual occupancy level or (iii)
payment in full of the Debt, all amounts remaining on deposit, if any, in the
Required Construction 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.

         SECTION 9.6 TAX AND INSURANCE RESERVE FUNDS.

         (a) Borrower shall establish on the date hereof an Eligible Account
with Lender 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") into which Borrower shall deposit on the
date hereof $108,848.21, which amount, 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. 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 insurance required hereunder is purchased under a
blanket insurance Policy acceptable to Lender in accordance with Section 8.1(c),
one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender

                                      -59-
<PAGE>
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"). Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds
to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by 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. Provided (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, (ii) the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account contains sufficient funds
to pay all applicable Taxes and (iii) Lender is not prohibited from doing so by
any applicable law, rule or regulation, Lender shall pay the Taxes to the
applicable Governmental Authority on or before the date such Taxes would become
delinquent, but in no event earlier than the earlier of (a) fifteen (15) days
prior to the date such Taxes would be delinquent, (b) the date that additional
charge or interest will accrue due to the non-payment of such Taxes, or (c) a
date that is at least fifteen (15) days after written request from Borrower to
pay such Taxes, but in no event shall Lender be obligated to pay any Taxes prior
to receipt of the amount indicated in the applicable Estimated Annual Tax Notice
for such real estate tax year (the "REAL ESTATE TAX PAYMENT DATE"). 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 thirty (30) days after notice from Lender to Borrower
requesting payment thereof.

         (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing and provided Lender has received an Estimated Annual
Tax Payment Notice in accordance with the terms hereof for a specific real
estate tax year, Borrower shall not be required to make a monthly deposit to the
Tax and Insurance Reserve Account for that portion of Taxes which are paid to
Borrower by Tenants at the Property on an annual basis (the "ANNUAL TAX
TENANTS"; the annual tax payment from such Annual Tax Tenants to Borrower,
hereinafter collectively referred to as the "ANNUAL TAX TENANT PAYMENTS"),
provided, (i) at least fifteen (15) days prior to the beginning of each such
real estate tax year, Borrower shall provide Lender with a written notice of its
intention not to pay the Annual Tax Tenant Payments into the Tax and Insurance
Reserve Account for such year, which notice shall, among other things, be in

                                      -60-
<PAGE>
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and contain an estimate of
the amount of the Annual Tax Tenant Payments for the next succeeding real estate
tax year (an "ESTIMATED ANNUAL TAX PAYMENT NOTICE"), (ii) at least fifteen (15)
days prior to the Real Estate Tax Payment Date (the "ESTIMATED TAX PAYMENT
DATE") Borrower shall deposit into the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account an
amount equal to the amount indicated in the applicable Estimated Annual Tax
Payment Notice and (iii) for each such real estate tax year, notwithstanding any
exculpation or other non-recourse provisions contained in the Loan Documents,
NXL shall guaranty receipt by Lender of the amount indicated in the applicable
Estimated Annual Tax Payment Notice on or before the Estimated Tax Payment Date.

         SECTION 9.7 EXCESS CASH RESERVE

         During the Lockbox Cash Flow Sweep Period, on each Scheduled Payment
Date all Excess Cash remaining in the Cash Management Account following the
required transfers of sums to various accounts pursuant to the Cash Management
Agreement shall be deposited with Lender (amounts so deposited shall hereinafter
be referred to as the "EXCESS CASH RESERVE FUND" and the account to which such
amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the "EXCESS CASH RESERVE
ACCOUNT"). Subject to the terms of this Agreement, sums from the Excess Cash
Reserve Fund shall only be disbursed to Borrower upon payment in full of the
Debt. If at any time after commencement of the Lockbox Cash Sweep Period,
provided (i) no Event of Default is continuing, (ii) no additional Lockbox Cash
Flow Sweep Period is in effect and (iii) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the
Property for two (2) consecutive calendar quarters is greater than 1.25 to 1.00,
Lender shall disburse to Borrower all amounts in the Excess Cash Reserve
Account, the Lockbox Cash Flow Sweep Period shall end, and Borrower shall no
longer be obligated to pay Excess Cash to Lender on each Scheduled Payment Date.

         SECTION 9.8 RESERVE FUNDS GENERALLY.

         (a) All funds deposited in the Reserve Accounts shall be held in an
escrow account (bearing interest at a money market rate as determined by Lender
(or such other Permitted Investment determined by Lender) with the interest
accruing for the benefit of Borrower, said interest to be held in such escrow
account and disbursed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

         (b) Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected 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.

         (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 other right or power with respect to the

                                      -61-
<PAGE>
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. 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, out-of-pocket reasonable 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 reasonable 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
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 (i) any and all funds controlled by Lender, including, without
limitation, funds pledged in favor of Lender by other

                                      -62-
<PAGE>
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 shall deem appropriate, including, without
limitation, in the name of Lender or such loan servicer. 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 9.8, 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 9.8 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.

         SECTION 9.9 ESCROW HOLDBACK. On the date hereof, Borrower shall deposit
with Lender cash in an amount equal to the Escrow Holdback. Borrower shall have
the right on not more than two (2) occasions on or prior to August 31, 2002 to
request that Lender release that portion of the Escrow Holdback equal to the
Escrow Holdback Release Amount. Upon any such request, Lender shall release such
Escrow Holdback Release Amount provided (a) no Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, (b) Lender has received executed estoppel certificates reasonably
acceptable to Lender from (1) with respect to a Inline Escrow Holdback Release,
all of the tenants under the applicable Escrow Holdback Leases (the "INLINE
RELEASE TENANTS"), provided, however, Borrower may provide landlord estoppel
certificates in lieu of tenant estoppel certificates from not more than twenty
percent (20%) of the Inline Release Tenants and/or (2) with respect to a TJX
Escrow Holdback Release, TJX, which estoppel certificates shall, at time of such
request, indicate that the applicable tenants are in possession of their demised
premises, paying rent without offset or deduction and open for business and (c)
with respect to a TJX Escrow Holdback Release, Lender shall received evidence
reasonably acceptable to Lender that (1) the Property has at least a eighty-nine
percent (89%) actual

                                      -63-
<PAGE>
occupancy level or (2) the Loan has a minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio of
1.40:1.00, provided, however, for the purpose of a TJX Escrow Holdback Release
only, Debt Service Coverage Ratio shall be calculated by Lender based upon (i)
Operating Expenses for the six (6) month period immediately preceding the date
of calculation, on an annualized basis and (ii) Operating Income for the one (1)
month period immediately preceding the date of calculation, on an annualized
basis. Any portion of the Escrow Holdback not released to Borrower after the
earlier of (x) the second request pursuant to the preceding sentence or (y)
August 31, 2002, shall be applied by Lender to pay down the Debt, provided,
however, Borrower shall pay to Lender a prepayment premium in connection with
such partial prepayment equal to, (i) if such partial prepayment occurs prior to
a Securitization, one percent (1%) of the amount so prepaid or (ii) if such
partial prepayment occurs after a Securitization, a prepayment premium
calculated in accordance with Section 5(c) of the Note. The term "ESCROW
HOLDBACK RELEASE AMOUNT", as used herein, shall mean, (i) with respect to the
Escrow Holdback Leases (an "INLINE ESCROW HOLDBACK RELEASE"), an amount equal to
the Inline Escrow Holdback Release Amount and (ii) with respect to the space at
the Property to be occupied by TJX (a "TJX ESCROW HOLDBACK RELEASE"),
$1,900,000.00.

Tenants shall deposit all Rents from the Property directly into the Lockbox
Account and (ii) in the event that (a) a Lockbox Cash Flow Sweep Period is in

all costs and expenses, calculated on a cash basis, (including, if necessary to
pay Extraordinary Expenses, funds from the Excess Cash Reserve Account) required
to be paid during such month by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the
ownership and operation of the Property in accordance with the Annual Budget
shall be deposited in the an account with Lender (the "OPERATING EXPENSE
ACCOUNT"; all funds in the Operating Expense Account shall hereinafter be
referred to as the "OPERATING EXPENSE ACCOUNT FUNDS"), which funds shall be,

payment of costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation of the
Property in accordance with the approved Annual Budget and/or Extraordinary
Expenses.

         SECTION 12.6 INDEMNIFICATION.

         (a) Borrower and Borrower Principal covenant and agree at their sole
cost and expense, to protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold Indemnified
Parties harmless from and against any and all Losses imposed upon or incurred by
or asserted against any Indemnified Parties and directly or indirectly arising

non-compliance or violations of any Environmental Laws (or permits issued
pursuant to any Environmental Law) in connection with the Property or operations

Release of any Hazardous Substance which causes the incurrence of costs for
remediation; and (vii) any material misrepresentation or inaccuracy in any
representation or warranty or material breach or failure to perform any
covenants or other obligations pursuant to this Agreement relating to
environmental matters.

Upon written request by any Indemnified Party, Borrower and Borrower Principal
shall defend same (if requested by any Indemnified Party, in the name of the
Indemnified Party) by attorneys and other professionals approved by the
Indemnified Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the defendants in any
action include both an Indemnified Party and Borrower and/or a Borrower
Principal, and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there
are legal defenses available to it and or other Indemnified Parties that are
different from or in addition to

                                      -70-
<PAGE>
those available to Borrower and/or a Borrower Principal, then the Indemnified
Party or Indemnified Parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to
assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such
action on behalf of such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties; provided,
however, that Borrower and/or a Borrower Principal shall not be liable for the
expenses of more than one separate counsel unless an Indemnified Party shall
have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that
are different from or additional to those available to another Indemnified
Party, Borrower and/or a Borrower Principal. Upon demand, Borrower and Borrower
Principal shall pay or, in the sole discretion of the Indemnified Parties,
reimburse, the Indemnified Parties for the payment of reasonable fees and
disbursements of attorneys, engineers, environmental consultants, laboratories
and other professionals in connection therewith.

         (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall have no liability for
any Losses imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified
Parties and described in subsection (a) above to the extent that Borrower can
prove both that such Losses were caused solely by (1) actions, conditions or
events that occurred after the date that Lender (or any purchaser at a
foreclosure sale) actually acquired title to the Property or (2) an Indemnified
Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct, and that such Losses were not
caused by the direct or indirect actions of Borrower, Borrower Principal, or any
partner, member, principal, officer, director, trustee or manager of Borrower or
Borrower Principal or employee, agent contractor or Affiliate of Borrower or
Borrower Principal. The obligations and liabilities of Borrower and Borrower
Principal under this Section 12.6 shall fully survive indefinitely
notwithstanding any termination, satisfaction, assignment, entry of a judgment
of foreclosure, exercise of any power of sale, or delivery of a deed in lieu of
foreclosure of the Mortgage.

                         ARTICLE 13 - SECONDARY MARKET

         SECTION 13.1 TRANSFER OF LOAN. Lender may, at any time, sell, transfer
or assign the Loan Documents, or grant participations therein ("PARTICIPATIONS")
or issue mortgage pass-through certificates or other securities evidencing a
beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement
("SECURITIES") (the issuance of Participations and/or Securities, a
"SECURITIZATION").

         SECTION 13.2 DELEGATION OF SERVICING. At the option of Lender, the Loan
may be serviced by a servicer/trustee selected by Lender and Lender may delegate
all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents to such servicer/trustee pursuant to a servicing agreement
between Lender and such servicer/trustee.

         SECTION 13.3 DISSEMINATION OF INFORMATION. Lender may forward to each
purchaser, transferee, assignee, or servicer of, and each participant, or
investor in, the Loan, or any Participations and/or Securities or any of their
respective successors (collectively, the "INVESTOR") or any Rating Agency rating
the Loan, or any Participations and/or Securities, each prospective Investor,
and any organization maintaining databases on the underwriting and performance
of commercial mortgage loans, all documents and information which Lender now has
or may hereafter acquire relating to the Debt and to Borrower, any managing
member or general partner, Borrower Principal, any SPE Component Entity (if any)
and the Property,

                                      -71-
<PAGE>
including financial statements, whether furnished by Borrower or otherwise, as
Lender determines necessary or desirable. Borrower irrevocably waives any and
all rights it may have under applicable Legal Requirements to prohibit such
disclosure, including but not limited to any right of privacy.

         SECTION 13.4 COOPERATION. Borrower and Borrower Principal agree to
cooperate with Lender in connection with any sale or transfer of the Loan or any
Participation and/or Securities created pursuant to this Article 13, including,
without limitation, (a) the delivery of an estoppel certificate required in
accordance with Section 5.12(a) and such other documents as may be reasonably
requested by Lender, (b) the execution of such amendments to the Loan Documents
as may be requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies or
otherwise to effect the Securitization including, without limitation,
bifurcation of the Loan into two or more separate notes; provided, however, that
Borrower shall not be required to modify or amend any Loan Document if such
modification or amendment would (i) change the interest rate, the stated
maturity or the amortization of principal set forth in the Note, except in
connection with a bifurcation of the Loan which may result in varying fixed
interest rates and amortization schedules, but which shall have the same initial
weighted average coupon of the original Note, or (ii), in the reasonable
judgment of Borrower, modify or amend any other material economic term of the
Loan, or (iii) in the reasonable judgment of Borrower, materially increase
Borrower's or Borrower Principal's obligations and liabilities or decrease
Borrower's or Borrower Principal's rights under the Loan Documents; and (c) make
changes to the organizational documents of Borrower and its principals and/or
use its good faith efforts to cause changes to the legal opinions delivered by
Borrower in connection with the Loan, provided, that such changes shall not
result in a material adverse economic effect to Borrower or Borrower Principal
or materially and adversely effect Borrower's or Borrower Principal's rights
under the Loan Documents. Borrower shall also furnish and Borrower and Borrower
Principal consent to Lender furnishing to such Investors or such prospective
Investors or such Rating Agency any and all information concerning the Property,
the Leases, the financial condition of Borrower or Borrower Principal as may be
reasonably requested by Lender, any Investor, any prospective Investor or any
Rating Agency in connection with any sale or transfer of the Loan or any
Participations or Securities. Other than with respect to (i) items which
Borrower, any Borrower Principal, Manager or any Affiliate of any of the
foregoing are otherwise required to deliver pursuant to the terms of the Loan
Documents and (ii) legal counsel employed by Borrower, any Borrower Principal,
Manager or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, Borrower and Borrower
Principal shall not be obligated to incur any material cost or expense in
connection with this Section 13.4.

                         ARTICLE 14 - INDEMNIFICATIONS

         SECTION 14.1 GENERAL INDEMNIFICATION. Borrower shall indemnify, defend
and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses
imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Parties and
directly or indirectly arising out of or in any way relating to any one or more
of the following: (a) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or
damage to property occurring in, on or about the Property or any part thereof or
on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas,
streets or ways; (b) any use, nonuse or condition in, on or about the Property
or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or
adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (c) performance of

                                      -72-
<PAGE>
any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in
respect of the Property or any part thereof; (d) any failure of the Property to
be in material compliance with any Applicable Legal Requirements; (e) any and
all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against Lender by reason
of any alleged obligations or undertakings on its part to perform or discharge
any of the terms, covenants, or agreements contained in any Lease; (f) the
performance of the Required Work, or (g) the payment of any commission, charge
or brokerage fee to anyone which may be payable in connection with the funding
of the Loan (collectively, the "INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES"); provided, however,
that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder (i) to the
extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence,
illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender or (ii) that Borrower can
prove both that such Indemnified Liabilities were caused solely by actions,
conditions or events that occurred after the date that Lender (or any purchaser
at a foreclosure sale) actually acquired title to the Property and that such
Indemnified Liabilities were not caused by the direct or indirect actions of
Borrower, any Borrower Principal, Manager or any Affiliate of any of the
foregoing. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it
violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that
it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and
satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.

         SECTION 14.2 MORTGAGE AND INTANGIBLE TAX INDEMNIFICATION. Borrower
shall, at its sole cost and expense, protect, defend, indemnify, release and
hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses
imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Party and
directly or indirectly arising out of or in any way relating to any tax on the
making and/or recording of the Mortgage, the Note or any of the other Loan
Documents, but excluding any income, franchise or other similar taxes.

         SECTION 14.3 ERISA INDEMNIFICATION. Borrower shall, at its sole cost
and expense, protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless the
Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in the investigation,
defense, and settlement of Losses incurred in correcting any prohibited
transaction or in the sale of a prohibited loan, and in obtaining any individual
prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA that may be required, in Lender's
sole discretion) that Lender may incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of a
default under Section 4.9 or Section 5.18 of this Agreement.

                            ARTICLE 15 - EXCULPATION

         SECTION 15.1 EXCULPATION.

         (a) Except as otherwise provided herein or in the other Loan Documents,
Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower or Borrower
Principal, as applicable, to perform and observe the obligations contained
herein or in the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a
money judgment shall be sought against Borrower or Borrower Principal or any
direct or indirect owner therein, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure
action, action for specific performance or other appropriate action or
proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon this Agreement, the
Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, and the interest in the
Property, the Rents and any other collateral given to Lender created by this
Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan

                                      -73-
<PAGE>
Documents; provided, however, that any judgment in any such action or proceeding
shall be enforceable against Borrower or Borrower Principal, as applicable, only
to the extent of Borrower's or Borrower Principal's interest in the Property, in
the Rents and in any other collateral given to Lender. Lender, by accepting this
Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it
shall not, except as otherwise provided in this Section 15.1, sue for, seek or
demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower or Borrower Principal in any
such action or proceeding, under or by reason of or under or in connection with
this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents. The
provisions of this Section 15.1 shall not, however, (i) constitute a waiver,
release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by this Agreement,
the Note, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents; (ii) impair the right of
Lender to name Borrower or Borrower Principal as a party defendant in any action
or suit for judicial foreclosure and sale under this Agreement and the Mortgage;
(iii) affect the validity or enforceability of any indemnity (including, without
limitation, those contained in Section 12.6 and Article 14 of this Agreement),
guaranty, master lease or similar instrument made in connection with this
Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents; (iv) impair the
right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (v) impair the
enforcement of the assignment of leases provisions contained in the Mortgage; or
(vi) impair the right of Lender to obtain a deficiency judgment or other
judgment on the Note against Borrower or Borrower Principal if necessary to
obtain any Insurance Proceeds or Awards to which Lender would otherwise be
entitled under this Agreement; provided however, Lender shall only enforce such
judgment to the extent of the Insurance Proceeds and/or Awards.

         (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 15.1 to the
contrary, Borrower and Borrower Principal shall be personally liable to Lender
on a joint and several basis for Losses due to:

             (i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower, Borrower
         Principal or any other Affiliate of Borrower or Borrower Principal in
         connection with the execution and the delivery of this Agreement, the
         Note, the Mortgage, any of the other Loan Documents, or any
         certificate, report, financial statement or other instrument or
         document furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower, any Borrower
         Principal, Manager or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing at the time
         of the closing of the Loan or during the term of the Loan;

             (ii) Borrower's misapplication or misappropriation of Rents
         received by Borrower after the occurrence and during the continuance of
         an Event of Default;

             (iii) Borrower's misapplication or misappropriation of tenant
         security deposits or Rents collected in advance;

             (iv) the misapplication or the misappropriation of Insurance
         Proceeds or Awards by any Person other than Lender, its agents,
         servants, representatives, contractors, subcontractors, affiliates or
         subsidiaries;

                                      -74-
<PAGE>
             (v) Intentionally Omitted;

             (vi) Intentionally Omitted;

             (vii) any act of actual physical waste or arson by Borrower, any
         principal, affiliate, member or general partner thereof or by Borrower
         Principal, any principal, affiliate, member or general partner thereof;

             (viii) the intentional misrepresentation or intentional breach of
         covenants and warranties contained in the Loan Documents, including,
         without limitation, those contained in the Environmental Indemnity
         Agreement.

             (ix) Intentionally Omitted; or

             (x) Borrower's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

         (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 in the event of (i) a
default by Borrower, Borrower Principal or any SPE Component Entity (if any) of
any of the covenants set forth in Article 6 or Article 7 hereof, or (ii) if the
Property or any part thereof shall become an asset in (A) a voluntary bankruptcy
or insolvency proceeding of Borrower, or (B) an involuntary bankruptcy or
insolvency proceeding of Borrower which is not dismissed within ninety (90) days
of filing (iii) the failure to pay the first regularly scheduled payment of
interest due under the Note. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section
15.1(c) to the contrary, the liability of all of the Borrower Principals in the
aggregate pursuant to this Section 15.1(c) shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of
the original principal balance of the Note for so long as at least one Borrower
Principal is (1) NXL, (2) the owner of the equity in the Qualified Transferee,
(3) the Qualified Transferee or (4) another person or entity approved by Lender
and the Rating Agencies pursuant to the terms hereof.

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

                              ARTICLE 16 - NOTICES

         SECTION 16.1 NOTICES.

Document, Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note or other Loan
Document, dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or
other Loan Document in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like
tenor. In addition to the foregoing, prior to a Securitization only, Borrower
may require Lender to deliver to Borrower an indemnity relating to losses
incurred by Borrower in condition with the execution by Borrower of a
replacement Note.

         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 reasonable
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 foregoing documents, and all federal, state, county and
municipal taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and charges arising out of or in
connection with the execution and delivery 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 modification or
amendment of the foregoing documents, except where prohibited by law so to do.

         SECTION 17.3 FURTHER ACTS, ETC. Borrower will, at the cost of Borrower,
and without expense to Lender, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and
every further acts, deeds, conveyances, deeds of trust, mortgages, assignments,
security agreements, control agreements, notices of assignments, transfers and
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,

                                      -77-
<PAGE>
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 the event it shall fail to so
execute and deliver, hereby authorizes Lender to execute in the name of Borrower
or without the signature of Borrower to the extent Lender may lawfully do so,
one or more financing statements and financing statement amendments to evidence
more effectively, perfect and maintain the priority of the security interest of
Lender in the Property. Borrower grants to Lender an irrevocable power of
attorney coupled with an interest for the purpose of exercising and perfecting
any and all rights and remedies available to Lender at law and in equity,
including without limitation, such rights and remedies available to Lender
pursuant to this Section 17.3.

         SECTION 17.4 CHANGES IN TAX, DEBT, CREDIT AND DOCUMENTARY STAMP LAWS.
(a) If any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this Agreement
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 by written notice of not less than one hundred twenty (120) days to
declare the Debt immediately due and payable, without any prepayment premium.

         (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 the Mortgage or the
Debt. If such claim, credit or deduction shall be required by law, Lender shall
have the option, by written notice of not less than one hundred twenty (120)
days, to declare the Debt immediately due and payable.

         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, 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.

         SECTION 17.5 EXPENSES.

         Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to
reimburse, Lender upon receipt of written notice from Lender for all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable, actual attorneys' fees
and disbursements and the allocated costs of internal legal services and all
actual disbursements of internal counsel) reasonably incurred by Lender in
accordance with this Agreement in connection with (i) the preparation,
negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower

                                      -78-
<PAGE>
legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with
respect to the Property); (ii) for so long as a Default exists (unless otherwise
required to paid by Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents),
Borrower's ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower's respective
agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date,
including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and
insurance requirements; (iii) following a request by Borrower, Lender's ongoing
performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied
with after the Closing Date; (iv) the negotiation, preparation, execution,
delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other
modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other
documents or matters requested by Lender; (v) for so long as a Default exists
(unless otherwise required to paid by Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Loan
Documents), securing Borrower's compliance with any requests made pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement; (vi) the filing and recording fees and
expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for
providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses
incurred in creating and perfecting the Lien in favor of Lender pursuant to this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vii) enforcing or preserving any
rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any
action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or
affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Property, or
any other security given for the Loan; and (viii) enforcing any obligations of
or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other
Loan Documents or with respect to the Property or in connection with any
refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this
Agreement in the nature of a "work-out" or of any insolvency or bankruptcy
proceedings; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the
payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of
the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender or are
expressly required to be paid by Lender pursuant to the terms hereof.

                              ARTICLE 18 - 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.

                                      -79-
<PAGE>
         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 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 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 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 AND BORROWER IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO
FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS
WAIVER BY BORROWER 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

                                      -80-
<PAGE>
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.

         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 19 - GOVERNING LAW

         SECTION 19.1 CHOICE OF LAW.

         This Agreement shall be governed, construed, applied and enforced in

interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under
applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision
or the 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 Borrower makes a payment or
payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are
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 20 - MISCELLANEOUS

         SECTION 20.1 SURVIVAL.

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 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

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

legality or effectiveness of same, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall
not constitute any warranty or affirmation with respect thereto by Lender.

and warranties set forth in Article 4 of this Agreement without any obligation

counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan
Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of
construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower
acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its
own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any
manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any
parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any
limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights

                                      -84-
<PAGE>
or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other
agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it
or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of
them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right
to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with
respect to Lender's exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower
acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and
other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to
