RECITALS:
A.Lender and NOHO COMMONS PACIFIC OWNER LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”), have entered into a certain Loan Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as it may hereafter be modified, supplemented, extended, or renewed and in effect from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), which Loan Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of a loan (said loan, together with all advances which may hereafter be made pursuant to the Loan Agreement, being referred to herein as the “Loan”) to Borrower secured by certain Property as defined and more particularly described in the Loan Agreement.
B. Guarantor holds a direct or indirect interest in Borrower and will receive direct or indirect benefit from Lender’s making of the Loan to Borrower.
C. The Loan is evidenced by a certain Promissory Note, dated as of the date hereof, executed by Borrower and payable to the order of Lender (such Promissory Note, as it may hereafter be renewed, extended, supplemented, increased or modified and in effect from time to time, and all other notes given in substitution therefor, or in modification, renewal, or extension thereof, in whole or in part, is herein called the “Note”).
D. Any capitalized term used and not defined in this Guaranty shall have the meaning given to such term in the Loan Agreement.  This Guaranty is one of the Loan Documents described in the Loan Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, and as a material inducement to Lender to make the Loan to Borrower, Guarantor hereby guarantees to Lender the prompt and full payment and performance of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower (defined below), this Guaranty being upon the following terms and conditions:

1.Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower.  
(a) Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Lender the punctual payment when due, and not merely the collectability, whether by lapse of time, by acceleration of maturity, or otherwise, and at all times thereafter the payment of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower (hereinafter defined).  As used herein, the term “Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower” shall mean all obligations and liabilities of Borrower for which Borrower shall be personally liable pursuant to Section 11.22 of the Loan Agreement, together with all reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other costs and expenses payable by Guarantor to Lender pursuant to Section 10 hereof (but, for the avoidance of doubt, Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower shall not include expenses, fees and/or costs of collection in connection with Lender’s enforcement of any other Loan Document other than this Guaranty to the extent set forth in such Section 10).
(b) Limitation on Guarantor’s Liability.  Guarantor shall have no liability under Section 1(a) above with respect to any of the following after the date (the “Foreclosure Date”) Lender or its designee, or a purchaser at a foreclosure sale, acquires title to the Property by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure: (i) under clause (g) of Section 11.22 of the Loan Agreement to the extent arising from Borrower’s failure to maintain the Policies after the Foreclosure Date or to the extent arising from the failure of the Borrower to pay any insurance premiums applicable to the period after the Foreclosure Date; and (ii) under clause (h) of Section 11.22 of the Loan Agreement to the extent relating to Taxes or Other Charges applicable to the period after the Foreclosure Date.  Guarantor shall not be liable for any obligations or liabilities hereunder resulting solely from the fraud or gross negligence of Lender or its agents or employees.
2. Certain Agreements and Waivers by Guarantor.
(a) Guarantor hereby agrees that each of the following shall constitute Events of Default hereunder (i) the occurrence of a default by Guarantor in payment of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower, or any part thereof, when such indebtedness becomes due and (ii) an “Event of Default” with respect to Guarantor under Section 10.1 of the Loan Agreement.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default hereunder, the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower, for purposes of this Guaranty, shall be deemed immediately due and payable at the election of Lender.  Guarantor shall, on demand, pay the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower to Lender.  It shall not be necessary for Lender, in order to enforce such payment, first to (i) institute suit or pursue or exhaust any rights or remedies against Borrower or others liable for the Debt, (ii) enforce any rights against any security that shall ever have been given to secure the Debt, (iii) join Borrower or any others liable for the payment or performance of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower or any part thereof in any action to enforce this Guaranty and/or (iv) resort to any other means of obtaining payment or performance of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower.

2

(c) Suit may be brought or demand may be made against all parties who have signed this Guaranty or any other guaranty covering all or any part of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower, or against any one or more of them, separately or together, without impairing the rights of Lender against any party hereto.
(d) In the event any payment by Borrower or any other Person to Lender is held to constitute a preference, fraudulent transfer or other voidable payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or if for any other reason Lender is required to refund such payment or pay the amount thereof to any other party, such payment by Borrower or any other party to Lender shall not constitute a release of Guarantor from any liability hereunder and this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated (notwithstanding any prior release, surrender or discharge by Lender of this Guaranty or of Guarantor), as the case may be, with respect to, and this Guaranty shall apply to, any and all amounts so refunded by Lender or so paid by Lender to another Person (which amounts shall constitute part of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower), and any interest paid by Lender and any reasonable attorneys’ fees, out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually paid or incurred by Lender in connection with any such event.  If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by Borrower under any Loan Document is stayed or delayed by any law or tribunal, any amounts due and payable hereunder shall nonetheless be payable by Guarantor on demand by Lender.
3. Subordination.  If, for any reason whatsoever, Borrower is now or hereafter becomes indebted to Guarantor, then until the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower have been fully paid and performed:
(a) such indebtedness and all interest thereon and all liens, security interests and rights now or hereafter existing with respect to property of Borrower securing same shall, at all times, be subordinate in all respects to the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower and to all liens, security interests and rights now or hereafter existing to secure the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower;
(b) Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or receive payment, directly or indirectly, of any such indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor until the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower have been fully and finally paid and performed;
(c) Guarantor hereby assigns and grants to Lender a security interest in all such indebtedness and security therefor, if any, of Borrower to Guarantor now existing or hereafter arising, including any dividends and payments pursuant to debtor relief or insolvency proceedings referred to below.  In the event of receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement or other debtor relief or insolvency proceedings involving Borrower as debtor, Lender shall have the right to prove its claim in any such proceeding so as to establish its rights hereunder and shall have the right to receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other custodian (whether or not an Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing under any of the Loan Documents), dividends and payments that are payable upon any obligation of Borrower to Guarantor now existing or hereafter arising, and to have all benefits of any security therefor, until the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower have been fully paid and performed.  If, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, Guarantor should receive any payment, claim or distribution that is prohibited as provided above in this Section, Guarantor shall pay the same to 

3

Lender immediately, Guarantor hereby agreeing that it shall receive the payment, claim or distribution in trust for Lender and shall have absolutely no dominion over the same except to pay it immediately to Lender; and
(d) Guarantor shall promptly upon written request of Lender from time to time execute such documents and perform such acts as Lender may reasonably require to evidence and perfect its interest and to permit or facilitate exercise of its rights under this Section.
4. Other Liability of Guarantor or Borrower.  If Guarantor is or becomes liable, by endorsement or otherwise, for any indebtedness owing by Borrower to Lender other than under this Guaranty, such liability shall not be in any manner impaired or affected hereby, and the rights of Lender hereunder shall be cumulative of any and all other rights that Lender may have against Guarantor.
5. Assignment by Lender.  This Guaranty is for the benefit of Lender and Lender’s successors and assigns, and in the event of an assignment made in accordance with the Loan Agreement of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower, or any part thereof, the rights and benefits hereunder, to the extent applicable to the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower so assigned, may be transferred with such Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, Guarantor waives notice of any transfer or assignment of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower, or any part thereof, and agrees that failure to give notice will not affect the liabilities of Guarantor hereunder.
6. Binding Effect.  This Guaranty is binding not only on Guarantor, but also on Guarantor’s heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.  Upon the death of Guarantor, if Guarantor is a natural person, this Guaranty shall continue against Guarantor’s estate as to all of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower, including that portion incurred or arising after the death of Guarantor and shall be provable in full against Guarantor’s estate, whether or not the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower are then due and payable.  If this Guaranty is signed by more than one Person, then all of the obligations of Guarantor arising hereunder shall be jointly and severally binding on each of the undersigned, and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, and the term “Guarantor” shall mean all of such Persons and each of them individually.  Without limitation of any other term, provision or waiver contained herein, Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that it has been furnished true, complete and correct copies of the Loan Documents and has reviewed the terms and provisions thereof (including, without limitation, the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower).
7. Nature of Guaranty.  Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that this Guaranty (a) is a guaranty of payment and not only of collection and that Guarantor is liable hereunder as a primary obligor, (b) shall only be deemed discharged after the indefeasible satisfaction in full of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower, (c) shall not be reduced, released, discharged, satisfied or otherwise impacted in connection with (i) any act or occurrence that might, but for the provisions hereof, be deemed a legal or equitable reduction, satisfaction, discharge or release and/or (ii) Lender’s enforcement of remedies under the Loan Documents 

4

and (d) shall survive the foregoing and shall not merge with any resulting foreclosure deed, deed in lieu or similar instrument (if any).
8. Governing Law; Forum.    This Guaranty and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Guaranty, the relationship of the parties, and/or the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties will be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to any conflicts of law principles, except to the extent preempted by federal laws. As a further inducement to Lender to make the Loan and in consideration thereof, Guarantor further covenants and agrees (a) that in any action or proceeding brought by Lender against Guarantor on this Guaranty, Guarantor shall and does hereby waive trial by jury, (b) Guarantor will maintain a place of business or an agent for service of process in New York and give prompt notice to Lender of the address of such place of business and of the name and address of any new agent appointed by it, as appropriate, (c) the failure of Guarantor’s agent for service of process to give it notice of any service of process will not impair or affect the validity of such service or of any judgment based thereon, (d) if, despite the foregoing, there is for any reason no agent for service of process of Guarantor available to be served, and if Guarantor at that time has no place of business in the State of New York then Guarantor irrevocably consents to service of process by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to it at its address given in or pursuant to the first paragraph hereof, Guarantor hereby waiving personal service thereof, (e) that within thirty (30) days after such mailing, Guarantor so served shall appear or answer to any summons and complaint or other process and should Guarantor so served fail to appear or answer within said thirty (30) day period, said Guarantor shall be deemed in default and judgment may be entered by Lender against the said party for the amount as demanded in any summons and complaint or other process so served, (f) Guarantor initially and irrevocably designates Goldfarb & Fleece LLP, with offices on the date hereof at 560 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10022, Attention:  Robert M. Zimmerman, Esq., to receive for and on behalf of Guarantor service of process in the State of New York with respect to this Guaranty, (g) with respect to any claim or action arising hereunder, Guarantor (i) irrevocably submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United States District Court located in New York County, and appellate courts from any thereof and in the state and federal courts in the State in which the Property is located, and (ii) irrevocably waives any objection which it may have at any time to the laying on venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty brought in any such court, irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum, and (h) nothing in this Guaranty will be deemed to preclude Lender from bringing an action or proceeding with respect hereto in any other jurisdiction.
9. Invalidity of Certain Provisions.  If any provision of this Guaranty or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance shall, for any reason and to any extent, be declared to be invalid or unenforceable, neither the remaining provisions of this Guaranty nor the application of such provision to any other Person or circumstance shall be affected thereby, and the remaining provisions of this Guaranty, or the applicability of such provision to other Persons or circumstances, as applicable, shall remain in effect and be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements.

10. Attorneys’ Fees, Costs and Expenses of Collection.  Guarantor shall pay on demand all reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by Lender in the enforcement of or preservation of Lender’s rights under this Guaranty including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses, investigation costs, and all court costs, whether or not suit is filed herein, or whether at maturity or by acceleration, or whether before or after maturity, or whether in connection with bankruptcy, insolvency or appeal, or whether in connection with the collection and enforcement of this Guaranty against any other Guarantor, if there be more than one.  Guarantor agrees to pay interest on any expenses or other sums due to Lender under this Section 10 that are not paid when due from such date until same are paid, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate provided for in the Note.  Guarantor’s obligations and liabilities under this Section 10 shall survive any payment or discharge in full of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower.
11. Payments.  All sums payable under this Guaranty shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.
12. Controlling Agreement.  It is not the intention of Lender or Guarantor to obligate Guarantor to pay interest in excess of that lawfully permitted to be paid by Guarantor under applicable Legal Requirements.  Should it be determined that any portion of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower or any other amount payable by Guarantor under this Guaranty constitutes interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest that Guarantor, in Guarantor’s capacity as guarantor, may lawfully be required to pay under applicable Legal Requirements, the obligation of Guarantor to pay such interest shall automatically be limited to the payment thereof in the maximum amount so permitted under applicable Legal Requirements.  The provisions of this Section shall override and control all other provisions of this Guaranty and of any other agreement between Guarantor and Lender.
13. Notices.  Any and all notices, elections, demands, requests and responses thereto permitted or required to be given under this Guaranty shall be given in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement.  Notices to Guarantor shall be addressed as follows:

Guarantor shall have the right to change its address for notice hereunder to any other location within the continental United States by the giving of notice to Lender in the manner set forth above.
14. Cumulative Rights.  The exercise by Lender of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or at law or in equity, shall not preclude the concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other right or remedy.  Lender shall have all rights, remedies and recourses afforded to Lender by reason of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document or by law or equity or otherwise, and the same (a) shall be cumulative and concurrent, (b) may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently against Guarantor or others obligated for the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower, or any part thereof, or against any one or more of them, or against any security or otherwise, at the sole discretion of Lender, (c) may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, it being agreed by Guarantor that the exercise of, discontinuance of the exercise of or failure to exercise any of such rights, remedies, or recourses shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy, or recourse, and (d) are intended to be, and shall be, nonexclusive.  No waiver of any default on the part of Guarantor or of any breach of any of the provisions of this Guaranty or of any other document shall be considered a waiver of any other or subsequent default or breach, and no delay or omission in exercising or enforcing the rights and powers granted herein or in any other document shall be construed as a waiver of such rights and powers, and no exercise or enforcement of any rights or powers hereunder or under any other document shall be held to exhaust such rights and powers, and every such right and power may be exercised from time to 

7

time.  The granting of any consent, approval or waiver by Lender shall be limited to the specific instance and purpose therefor and shall not constitute consent or approval in any other instance or for any other purpose.  No notice to or demand on Guarantor in any case shall of itself entitle Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.  No provision of this Guaranty or any right, remedy or recourse of Lender with respect hereto, or any default or breach, can be waived, nor can this Guaranty or Guarantor be released or discharged in any way or to any extent, except specifically in each case by a writing intended for that purpose (and which refers specifically to this Guaranty) executed, and delivered to Guarantor, by Lender.
15. Subrogation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent permitted by applicable law (a) Guarantor shall not have any right of subrogation in or under any of the Loan Documents or to participate in any way therein, or in any right, title or interest in and to any security or right of recourse for the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower, until the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower have been fully paid, and (b) if Guarantor is or becomes an “insider” (as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) with respect to Borrower, then Guarantor hereby irrevocably and absolutely waives until the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower have been fully paid, any and all rights of contribution, indemnification, reimbursement or any similar rights against Borrower with respect to this Guaranty (including any right of subrogation, except to the extent of collateral held by Lender), whether such rights arise under an express or implied contract or by operation of law.  It is the intention of the parties that Guarantor shall not be deemed to be a “creditor” (as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) of Borrower by reason of the existence of this Guaranty in the event that Borrower or Guarantor becomes a debtor in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code.  This waiver is given to induce Lender to make the Loan as evidenced by the Note to Borrower.
16. Further Assurances.  Guarantor at Guarantor’s expense will promptly execute and deliver to Lender upon Lender’s reasonable request all such other and further documents, agreements, and instruments in compliance with or accomplishment of the agreements of Guarantor under this Guaranty.
17. No Fiduciary Relationship.  The relationship between Lender and Guarantor is solely that of lender and guarantor.  Lender has no fiduciary or other special relationship with or duty to Guarantor and none is created hereby or may be inferred from any course of dealing or act or omission of Lender.
18. Interpretation.  If this Guaranty is signed by more than one Person as “Guarantor”, then the term “Guarantor” as used in this Guaranty shall refer to all such Persons jointly and severally, and all promises, agreements, covenants, waivers, consents, representations, warranties and other provisions in this Guaranty are made by and shall be binding upon each and every such undersigned Person, jointly and severally and Lender may pursue any Guarantor hereunder without being required (i) to pursue any other Guarantor hereunder or (ii) pursue rights and remedies under the Security Instrument and/or applicable Legal Requirements with respect to the Property or any other Loan Documents.
19. Time of Essence.  Time shall be of the essence in this Guaranty with respect to all of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.

8

20. Execution.  This Guaranty may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which, for all purposes, shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
21. Entire Agreement.  This Guaranty embodies the entire agreement between Lender and Guarantor with respect to the guaranty by Guarantor of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower.  This Guaranty supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, if any, with respect to guaranty by Guarantor of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower.  No condition or conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Guaranty exist.  This Guaranty shall be effective upon execution by Guarantor and delivery to Lender.  This Guaranty may not be modified, amended or superseded except in a writing signed by Lender and Guarantor referencing this Guaranty by its date and specifically identifying the portions hereof that are to be modified, amended or superseded.  The Loan Documents represent the final agreement between the parties and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties.
22. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  GUARANTOR, AND BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS GUARANTY, LENDER, HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO WHICH GUARANTOR AND LENDER MAY BE PARTIES ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR IN ANY WAY PERTAINING TO, THIS GUARANTY AND ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT.  IT IS AGREED AND UNDERSTOOD THAT THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OF ALL CLAIMS AGAINST ALL PARTIES TO SUCH ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS, INCLUDING CLAIMS AGAINST PARTIES WHO ARE NOT PARTIES TO THIS GUARANTY.  THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY MADE BY GUARANTOR AND LENDER, AND GUARANTOR, AND BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS GUARANTY, LENDER, HEREBY REPRESENTS THAT NO REPRESENTATIONS OF FACT OR OPINION HAVE BEEN MADE BY ANY INDIVIDUAL TO INDUCE THIS WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OR TO IN ANY WAY MODIFY OR NULLIFY ITS EFFECT.  LENDER AND GUARANTOR EACH FURTHER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED IN THE SIGNING OF THIS GUARANTY AND IN THE MAKING OF THIS WAIVER BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL, OR HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE REPRESENTED BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL SELECTED OF ITS OWN FREE WILL, AND THAT IT HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THIS WAIVER WITH COUNSEL.
23. Waivers.

10

27. Replacement Guarantor.  To the extent that any Guarantor is a natural person, the death or incompetency of such Guarantor shall be an Event of Default hereunder unless such Guarantor is replaced in accordance with this Section.

15

28. Change in Residency.  Individual Guarantor hereby represents and warrants that he is a resident of the State of California and that his primary domicile is in the State of California.
29. Special State Provisions.  Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that (1) this Guaranty is not secured by the Mortgage or by any real property in the State of California, and (2) this Guaranty is not governed by or subject to the laws of the State of California, and the following waivers and other terms and conditions of this Guaranty are given by Guarantor out of an abundance of caution at the request of Lender (and that the same forms a material part of the consideration for Lender to make the Loan) in the event the Loan is ever characterized as being governed by the laws of the State of California or this Guaranty is subject to interpretation under the laws of the State of California (but that it is not Lender’s or Guarantor’s intention to so characterize the Loan).  Subject to the foregoing:
(a) Guarantor hereby expressly waives any and all benefits and defenses under California Civil Code (“CC”), Section 2787-2855, inclusive, and 2899, 2953 and 3433, including, without limitation, the right to require Lender to (i) proceed against Borrower or any Guarantor or other pledgor, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security or collateral Lender may hold, or (iii) pursue any other right or remedy for the benefit of Guarantor.  Guarantor hereby expressly waives any and all benefits and defenses under (A) California Code of Civil Procedure (“CCP”) Section 580a which would otherwise limit Guarantor’s liability after a non-judicial foreclosure sale to the difference between the obligations guaranteed herein and the value of the property or interest sold at such non-judicial foreclosure sale as determined by a fair value hearing or otherwise, (B) CCP Sections 580b and 580d, which would otherwise limit Lender’s, right to recover a deficiency judgment with respect to purchase money obligations and after a non-judicial foreclosure sale, respectively, and (C) CCP Section 726 which, among other things, would otherwise require Lender to exhaust all of its security before a personal judgment may be obtained or a deficiency judgment may be pursued and would limit Guarantor’s liability after a judicial foreclosure sale to the difference between the obligations guaranteed herein and the fair value of the property or interest sold at such judicial foreclosure sale.  Notwithstanding any foreclosure of the lien of any deed of trust or security agreement with respect to any or all real or personal property secured thereby, whether by the exercise of the power of sale contained therein, by an action for judicial foreclosure, or by an acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, and notwithstanding enforcement of any other guaranty executed in connection with the Loan Documents, Guarantor shall remain bound under this Guaranty.  Guarantor acknowledges that it has been made aware of the provisions of CC Section 2856, has read and understands the provisions of that statute, has had the opportunity to seek the advice of its counsel as to the scope, purpose and effect of that statute, and based thereon, and without limiting the foregoing waivers, Guarantor agrees to waive all suretyship rights and defenses described in CC Section 2856(a).  
(b) Without limiting any other waivers herein, Guarantor hereby gives the following waivers with respect to CC Sections 2856(c) and (d):  
(i) Guarantor waives all rights and defenses that the Guarantor may have because the debtor’s debt is secured by real property.  This means among other things: (A) the creditor may collect from the Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal 

16

property pledged by the debtor; (B) if the creditor forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by the debtor:  (1) the amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price; (2) the creditor may collect from the Guarantor even if the creditor, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right the Guarantor may have to collect from the debtor.  This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses the Guarantor may have because the debtor’s debt is secured by real property.  These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based on CCP Sections 580a, 580b, 580d or 726, CC Sections 2787 through 2855, 2899, 2953 and 3433, and any successor sections, or similar laws in other states.
(ii) Guarantor waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the creditor, even though that election of remedies, such as non-judicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed the Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by operation of CCP Section 580d or otherwise.
(c) To the full extent permitted by law, Guarantor waives any and all statutes of limitations as a defense to any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations.
(d) Guarantor waives any and all provisions of law and equitable principles that conflict with this Guaranty.
(e) Except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents, Guarantor waives any right to require Lender, and Lender shall not have any obligation, to provide to Guarantor any information concerning performance of the Obligations, the ability of Borrower to perform the Obligations, or any other matter, regardless of what information Lender may have from time to time.
(f) Until (i) the indefeasible payment in full of all principal, accrued interest and other amounts payable to the Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the indefeasible satisfaction in full of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower, Guarantor waives any and all present and future claims, remedies, and rights of Guarantor against Borrower, any Guarantor, the collateral, and any other property, interests in property, or rights to property of Borrower or any Guarantor (i) arising from any performance by Guarantor hereunder, (ii) arising from any application of any collateral or any other property, interests in property, or rights to property of Guarantor to payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, or (iii) otherwise arising in respect of the Loan Documents, regardless of whether such claims, remedies, and rights arise under any present or future agreement, document, or instrument or are provided by any law, ordinance, regulation, or rule (federal, state, or local) (including, without limitation, (A) any and all rights of contribution, exoneration, indemnity, reimbursement, and subrogation (including, without limitation, any right Guarantor would otherwise have under CC Sections 2847 and 2848), and (B) any and all rights to participate in the rights and remedies of Lender against Borrower, any Guarantor, and the collateral).  Guarantor understands and acknowledges that Guarantor may, by reason of the foregoing waivers, incur a partially or totally non-reimbursable liability hereunder, nevertheless, Guarantor hereby authorizes and empowers Lender to exercise, in its sole discretion, any right and remedies or any combination thereof, 

17

which may then be available, since it is the intent and purpose of Guarantor that the obligations hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances.  For example, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, under California law (CCP Section 580d as interpreted in Union Bank v. Gradsky, 265 Cal. App. 2d 40 (1968) which was decided prior to the enactment of CCP Section 2856) Guarantor could attempt to assert a defense to liability under this Guaranty if Lender forecloses non-judicially against real property security for the Guaranteed Obligations.  By executing this Guaranty, Guarantor:  (1) waives and relinquishes any such defense, (2) agrees that it will not assert that defense in any action or proceeding which Lender may commence to enforce this Guaranty, and (3) acknowledges and agrees that Lender is relying on this waiver in entering into the Loan Documents and making loans and advances thereunder, and that this waiver is a material part of the consideration which Lender is receiving for making such loans and advances.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Lender even though that election of remedies, such as non-judicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation has destroyed Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against Borrower by reason of the operation of CCP Section 580d or otherwise.
(g) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Guarantor hereby expressly waives all rights and benefits under Section 2809 of the California Civil Code purporting to reduce a guarantor’s obligations in proportion to the principal obligation.
(h) Guarantor hereby expressly waives any right Guarantor might have to revoke this Guaranty as to any advances made by Lender to or on behalf of Borrower or pursuant to the terms of any of the Loan Documents, Guarantor specifically acknowledging that there is a continuing consideration to Guarantor for this Guaranty and therefore Guarantor waives and relinquishes the right to revoke or terminate this Guaranty as provided in California Civil Code Section 2815.
(i) Guarantor consents to the waiver by Borrower of all of its rights under California Civil Code Section 2822, which provides as follows:  "(a) The acceptance, by a creditor, of anything in partial satisfaction of an obligation, reduces the obligation of a surety thereof, in the same measure as that of the principal, but does not otherwise affect it.  However, if the surety is liable upon only a portion of an obligation and the principal provides partial satisfaction of the obligation, the principal may designate the portion of the obligation that is to be satisfied; and (b) For purposes of this section and Section 2819, an agreement by a creditor to accept from the principal debtor a sum less than the balance owed on the original obligation, without the prior consent of the surety and without any other change to the underlying agreement between the creditor and principal debtor, shall not exonerate the surety for the lesser sum agreed upon by the creditor and principal debtor."
30. Trustee Exculpation.  Any trustee (other than Karl Slovin) executing this Guaranty in its capacity as a trustee is acting solely in such capacity as trustee and shall be liable solely in such capacity and not personally or otherwise.

(i) Except as provided in Section 8.02(ii) hereof, the Company shall pay the Advisor as compensation for the services described in Section 3.03 hereof a monthly fee (the “Asset Management Fee”) in an amount equal to the lesser of one-twelfth of (a) 1.0% of the sum of the Cost of Real Estate Investments and the Cost of Loans and other Permitted Investments; and (b) 2.0% of the sum of (A) the Cost of Real Estate Investments less the amount of any debt financing secured by, or attributable to, the Properties as of the date of computation hereunder and (B) the Cost of Loans and other Permitted Investments less the amount of any debt financing secured by, or attributable to, such investments as of the date of computation hereunder. The Advisor shall submit a monthly invoice to the Company, accompanied by a computation of the Asset Management Fee for the applicable period. Generally, the Asset Management Fee payable to the Advisor shall be paid on the last day of such month, or the first business day following the last day of such month. However, the Asset Management Fee may or may not be taken, in whole or in part, as to any year in the sole discretion of the Advisor. All or any portion of the Asset Management Fees not taken as to any fiscal year shall be deferred without interest and may be paid in such other fiscal year as the Advisor shall determine.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 8.02(i) to the contrary, a Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment that has suffered an impairment in value, reduction in cash flow or other negative circumstances may either be excluded from the calculation of the Cost of Real Estate Investments or the Cost of Loans and other Permitted Investments or included in such calculation at a reduced value that is recommended by the Advisor and the Company’s management and then approved by a majority of the Conflicts Committee, and the resulting change in the Asset Management Fee with respect to such an investment will be applicable upon the earlier to occur of the date on which (i) such investment is sold, (ii) such investment is surrendered to a Person other than the Company, its direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary or a Joint Venture or partnership in which the Company has an interest, (iii) the Advisor determines that it will no longer pursue collection or other remedies related to such investment, or (iv) the Advisor recommends a revised fee arrangement with respect to such investment. 

18

8.03 Disposition Fees. If the Advisor or any of its Affiliates provide a substantial amount of services (as determined by the Conflicts Committee) in connection with a Sale, the Advisor or such Affiliate shall receive a fee at the closing (the “Disposition Fee”). For a Sale with a Contract Sales Price less than or equal to $50 million, the Disposition Fee will equal 1.5% of the Contract Sales Price. For a Sale with a Contract Sales Price greater than $50 million, the Disposition Fee will equal the sum of $750,000 (which amount is 1.5% of $50 million), plus 1.0% of the amount of the Contract Sales Price in excess of $50 million. Provided, however, that if in connection with such Sales commissions are paid to third parties other than the Advisor or its Affiliates, the fee paid to the Advisor or any of its Affiliates may not exceed the commissions paid to such unaffiliated third parties. The payment of any Disposition Fee by the Company shall be subject to the limitations contained in the Company’s Charter. Any Disposition Fee payable under this Section 8.03 may be paid in addition to commissions paid to non-Affiliates, provided that the total commissions (including such Disposition Fee) paid to all Persons by the Company for each Sale shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 6.0% of the aggregate Contract Sales Price of each Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment or (ii) the Competitive Real Estate Commission for each Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment. Substantial assistance in connection with the Sale of a Property includes the Advisor’s preparation of an investment package for the Property (including a new investment analysis, rent rolls, tenant information regarding credit, a property title report, an environmental report, a structural report and exhibits) or such other substantial services performed by the Advisor in connection with a Sale. The Advisor shall submit an invoice to the Company on or about the closing or closings of each disposition, accompanied by a computation of the Disposition Fee. Generally, the Disposition Fee payable to the Advisor shall be paid at the closing of the transaction upon receipt of the invoice by the Company. However, the Disposition Fee may or may not be taken, in whole or in part, as to any period in the sole discretion of the Advisor. All or any portion of the Disposition Fees not taken as to any period shall be deferred without interest and may be paid in such other period as the Advisor shall determine.
8.04 Subordinated Share of Cash Flows. The Subordinated Share of Cash Flows shall be payable to the Advisor in an amount equal to 15% of Operating Cash Flow and Cash from Sales, Settlements and Financings remaining after the stockholders have received Distributions in an aggregate amount equal to the sum of:
a. the Stockholders’ 7% Return and
b. Gross Investment Amount.
Following Listing, no Subordinated Share of Cash Flows will be paid to the Advisor. 
        If the Subordinated Share of Cash Flows is payable to the Advisor, the Advisor shall submit a monthly invoice to the Company, accompanied by a computation of the total amount of the Subordinated Share of Cash Flows for the applicable period. Generally, the Subordinated Share of Cash Flows payable to the Advisor shall be paid on the last day of such month, or the first business day following the last day of such month. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent the payment of the Subordinated Share of Cash Flows is funded other than from Cash From Sales and Settlements, such amounts shall be included in Operating Expenses and subject to the 2%/25% Guidelines.

19

8.05 Subordinated Incentive Fee. 
(i)  Upon Listing, the Advisor shall be entitled to the Subordinated Incentive Fee in an amount equal to 15% of the amount by which (i) the market value of the outstanding Shares of the Company, measured by taking the average closing price or the average of the bid and asked price, as the case may be, over a period of 30 days during which the Shares are traded, with such period beginning 180 days after Listing (the “Market Value”), plus the total of all Distributions paid to Stockholders from the Company’s inception until the date that Market Value is determined, exceeds (ii) the sum of (A) Gross Investment Amount and (B) the total Distributions required to be paid to the Stockholders in order to pay the Stockholders’ 7% Return from inception through the date Market Value is determined. The Company shall have the option to pay such fee in the form of cash, Shares, a promissory note or any combination of the foregoing. In the event the Subordinated Incentive Fee is paid to the Advisor following Listing, no other performance fee will be paid to the Advisor. 
        (ii) Upon a Merger, the Advisor shall be entitled to the Subordinated Incentive Fee in an amount equal to 15.0% of the amount by which (i) the Merger Consideration Amount, plus the total of all Distributions paid to Stockholders from the Company’s inception until the date of the closing of the Merger, plus all Distributions declared prior to the Merger but to be paid after the Merger, exceeds (ii) the sum of (A) Gross Investment Amount and (B) the total Distributions required to be paid to the Stockholders in order to pay the Stockholders’ 7% Return from inception through the date of the closing of the Merger. The Company shall have the option to pay such fee in the form of cash or Shares or any combination thereof. In the event the Subordinated Incentive Fee is paid to the Advisor in connection with a Merger, no other performance fee will be paid to the Advisor.
8.07 Changes to Fee Structure. In the event of Listing, the Company and the Advisor shall negotiate in good faith to establish a fee structure appropriate for a perpetual-life entity. 
ARTICLE 9

20

manager fee and the stockholder servicing fee, borne by the Company in connection with the Public Offering exceed 1% of Gross Proceeds raised in the primary portion of the completed Public Offering ; 
(ii) Acquisition Fees and Acquisition Expenses incurred in connection with the selection and acquisition of Properties, Loans and other Permitted Investments, including such expenses incurred related to assets pursued or considered but not ultimately acquired by the Company, provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the payment of Acquisition Fees and Acquisition Expenses by the Company shall be subject to the limitations contained in the Company’s Charter;

(ix) Personnel and related employment costs incurred by the Advisor or its Affiliates in performing the services described in Article 3 hereof, including but not limited to reasonable salaries and wages, benefits and overhead of all employees directly involved in the performance of such services, provided that, (a) other than reimbursement of travel and communication expenses, no reimbursement shall be made for the cost of such employees of the Advisor or its Affiliates to the extent that such employees perform services for which the Advisor receives Acquisition Fees or Disposition Fees and (b) no reimbursement shall be made for the salaries and benefits the Advisor or its Affiliates may pay to the Company’s executive officers;
(x) Out-of-pocket expenses of providing services for and maintaining communications with Stockholders, including the cost of preparation, printing, and mailing annual reports and other Stockholder reports, proxy statements and other reports required by governmental entities;

(ii) The Company shall not reimburse the Advisor at the end of any fiscal quarter for Operating Expenses that in the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended (the “Expense Year”) exceed (the “Excess Amount”) the greater of 2% of Average Invested Assets or 25% of Net Income (the “2%/25% Guidelines”) for such year unless the Conflicts Committee determines that such excess was justified, based on unusual and nonrecurring factors that the Conflicts Committee deems sufficient. If the Conflicts Committee does not approve such excess as being so justified, any Excess Amount paid to the Advisor during a fiscal quarter shall be repaid to the Company. If the Conflicts Committee determines such excess was justified, then, within 60 days after the end of any fiscal quarter of the Company for which total reimbursed Operating Expenses for the Expense Year exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines, the Advisor, at the direction of the Conflicts Committee, shall cause such fact to be disclosed to the Stockholders in writing (or the Company shall disclose such fact to the Stockholders in the next quarterly report of the Company or by filing a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC within 60 days of such quarter end), together with an explanation of the factors the Conflicts Committee considered in determining that such excess expenses were justified. The Company will ensure that such determination will be reflected in the minutes of the meetings of the Board. All figures used in the foregoing computation shall be determined in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis.

22

ARTICLE 10
VOTING AGREEMENT
The Advisor agrees that, with respect to any Shares now or hereinafter owned by it, the Advisor will not vote or consent on matters submitted to the stockholders of the Company regarding (i) the removal of the Advisor or any Affiliate of the Advisor, (ii) any transaction between the Company and the Advisor or any of its Affiliates, (iii) the election of directors of the Company or (iv) the approval or termination of any contract with the Advisor or any Affiliate of the Advisor. This voting restriction shall survive until such time that the Advisor is both no longer serving as such and is no longer an Affiliate of the Company. 
ARTICLE 11
RELATIONSHIP OF ADVISOR AND COMPANY;
OTHER ACTIVITIES OF THE ADVISOR
11.01 Relationship. The Company and the Advisor are not partners or joint venturers with each other, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to make them such partners or joint venturers. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the Advisor from engaging in other activities, including, without limitation, the rendering of advice to other Persons (including other REITs) and the management of other programs advised, sponsored or organized by the Advisor or its Affiliates. Nor shall this Agreement limit or restrict the right of any manager, director, officer, employee or equityholder of the Advisor or its Affiliates to engage in any other business or to render services of any kind to any other Person. The Advisor may, with respect to any investment in which the Company is a participant, also render advice and service to each and every other participant therein. The Advisor shall promptly disclose to the Board the existence of any condition or circumstance, existing or anticipated, of which it has knowledge, that creates or could create a conflict of interest between the Advisor’s obligations to the Company and its obligations to or its interest in any other Person.
11.02 Time Commitment. The Advisor shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and their respective employees, officers and agents to, devote to the Company such time as shall be reasonably necessary to conduct the business and affairs of the Company in an appropriate manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Company acknowledges that the Advisor and its Affiliates and their respective employees, officers and agents may also engage in activities unrelated to the Company and may provide services to Persons other than the Company or any of its Affiliates.
11.03 Investment Opportunities and Allocation. The Advisor shall be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to present a continuing and suitable investment program to the Company that is consistent with the investment policies and objectives of the Company, but neither the Advisor nor any Affiliate of the Advisor shall be obligated generally to present any particular investment opportunity to the Company even if the opportunity is of character that, if presented to the Company, could be taken by the Company. In the event an investment opportunity is located that may be suitable for the Company and other programs sponsored by the Advisor or any of its Affiliates, the Advisor, in its sole discretion, will have to determine the program or investor for which the investment opportunity is most suitable based on the investment objectives, portfolio and criteria of each program or investor. This determination must be made in a manner that is fair without favoring any other program or investor. The factors 
23

that the Advisor shall consider when determining the program or investor for which an investment opportunity would be the most suitable are the following:
•the investment objectives and criteria of each program or investor;
•the cash requirements of each program or investor;
•the effect of the investment on the diversification of each program’s or investor’s portfolio by type of investment, risk of investment, type of commercial property, geographic location of properties, and tenants of properties and, in the case of debt-related investments, the characteristics of the underlying property;
•the policy of each program or investor relating to leverage;
•the anticipated cash flow of the property or asset to be acquired;
•the income tax effects of the purchase on each program or investor;
•the size of the investment; and
•the amount of funds available to each program or investor and the length of time such funds have been available for investment.
If a subsequent event or development, such as a delay in the closing of a property or investment or a delay in the construction of a property, causes any investment, in the opinion of the Advisor, to be more appropriate for another program or investor, they may offer the investment to another program or investor. It shall be the duty of the Board to ensure that the allocation method described above is applied fairly to the Company.
ARTICLE 12
THE PACIFIC OAK NAME
The Advisor and its Affiliates have a proprietary interest in the name “Pacific Oak.” The Advisor hereby grants to the Company a non-transferable, non-assignable, non-exclusive royalty-free right and license to use the name “Pacific Oak” during the term of this Agreement. Accordingly, and in recognition of this right, if at any time the Company ceases to retain the Advisor or one of its Affiliates to perform advisory services for the Company, the Company will, promptly after receipt of written request from the Advisor, cease to conduct business under or use the name “Pacific Oak” or any derivative thereof and the Company shall change its name and the names of any of its subsidiaries to a name that does not contain the name “Pacific Oak” or any other word or words that might, in the reasonable discretion of the Advisor, be susceptible of indication of some form of relationship between the Company and the Advisor or any of its Affiliates. At such time, the Company will also make any changes to any trademarks, servicemarks or other marks necessary to remove any references to the word “Pacific Oak.” Consistent with the foregoing, it is specifically recognized that the Advisor or one or more of its Affiliates has in the past and may in the future organize, sponsor or otherwise permit to exist other investment vehicles (including vehicles for investment in real estate) and financial and 

24

service organizations having “Pacific Oak” as a part of their name, all without the need for any consent (and without the right to object thereto) by the Company.
ARTICLE 13
TERM AND TERMINATION OF THE AGREEMENT
13.01 Term. This Agreement shall have an initial term of one year from the date hereof and may be renewed for an unlimited number of successive one-year terms upon mutual consent of the parties. The Company (acting through the Conflicts Committee) will evaluate the performance of the Advisor annually before renewing this Agreement, and each such renewal shall be for a term of no more than one year. Any such renewal must be approved by the Conflicts Committee.
13.02 Termination by Either Party. This Agreement may be terminated upon 30 days written notice without cause or penalty by the Company (acting in sole discretion and authority of the Conflicts Committee) or upon 90 days written notice without cause or penalty by the Advisor. The provisions of Articles 1, 10, 12, 13, 15 and 16 shall survive termination of this Agreement. 
13.03 Payments on Termination and Survival of Certain Rights and Obligations. Payments to the Advisor pursuant to this Section 13.03 shall be subject to the 2%/25% Guidelines to the extent applicable.
(i) After the Termination Date, the Advisor shall not be entitled to compensation for further services hereunder except it shall be entitled to receive from the Company within 30 days after the effective date of such termination (A) all unpaid reimbursements of expenses and all earned but unpaid fees payable to the Advisor prior to termination of this Agreement and (B) the Subordinated Performance Fee Due Upon Termination, provided that no Subordinated Performance Fee Due Upon Termination will be paid if the Company has paid or is obligated to pay the Subordinated Incentive Fee.
(ii) The Advisor shall promptly upon termination:
(a) pay over to the Company all money collected pursuant to this Agreement, if any, after deducting any accrued compensation and reimbursement for its expenses to which it is then entitled;
(b) deliver to the Board a full accounting, including a statement showing all payments collected by it and a statement of all money held by it, covering the period following the date of the last accounting furnished to the Board;
(c) deliver to the Board all assets and documents of the Company then in the custody of the Advisor; and
(d) cooperate with the Company to provide an orderly transition of advisory functions.

25

ARTICLE 14
ASSIGNMENT
This Agreement may be assigned by the Advisor to an Affiliate with the consent of the Conflicts Committee. The Advisor may assign any rights to receive fees or other payments under this Agreement without obtaining the approval of the Board. This Agreement shall not be assigned by the Company without the consent of the Advisor, except in the case of an assignment by the Company to a corporation or other organization that is a successor to all of the assets, rights and obligations of the Company, in which case such successor organization shall be bound hereunder and by the terms of said assignment in the same manner as the Company is bound by this Agreement.
ARTICLE 15
INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
15.01 Indemnification. Except as prohibited by the restrictions provided in this Section 15.01, Section 15.02 and Section 15.03, the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Advisor and its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, equity holders, partners and employees, from all liability, claims, damages or losses arising in the performance of their duties hereunder, and related expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the extent such liability, claims, damages or losses and related expenses are not fully reimbursed by insurance. Any indemnification of the Advisor may be made only out of the net assets of the Company and not from Stockholders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not indemnify the Advisor or its Affiliates for any loss, liability or expense arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws by such party unless one or more of the following conditions are met: (i) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged material securities law violations as to the particular indemnitee; (ii) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee; or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against a particular indemnitee and finds that indemnification of the settlement and the related costs should be made, and the court considering the request for indemnification has been advised of the position of the SEC and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which securities of the Company were offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities laws.
15.02 Limitation on Indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not provide for indemnification of the Advisor or its Affiliates for any liability or loss suffered by any of them, nor shall any of them be held harmless for any loss or liability suffered by the Company, unless all of the following conditions are met:
(i) The Advisor or its Affiliates have determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct that caused the loss or liability was in the best interests of the Company.
(ii) The Advisor or its Affiliates were acting on behalf of or performing services for the Company. 

26

(iii) Such liability or loss was not the result of negligence or misconduct by the Advisor or its Affiliates. 
        15.03 Limitation on Payment of Expenses. The Company shall pay or reimburse reasonable legal expenses and other costs incurred by the Advisor or its Affiliates in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding only if (in addition to the procedures required by the Maryland General Corporation Law, as amended from time to time) all of the following are satisfied: (a) the proceeding relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services on behalf of the Company, (b) the legal proceeding was initiated by a third party who is not a stockholder or, if by a stockholder acting in his or her capacity as such, a court of competent jurisdiction approves such advancement and (c) the Advisor or its Affiliates undertake to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the Company, together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, if it is ultimately determined that the particular indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification.
