    On
      January 31, 2007, the Company shall pay you a one-time, lump-sum cash bonus
      equal to $87,000 (the “Bonus”); however, if you die before such date, “your
      estate” shall be entitled to receive the Bonus as soon as reasonably practicable
      following the date of such death.

     

    General

     

    Nothing
      in this letter agreement shall limit your right to participate in or receive
      compensation, including any bonuses or equity-based compensation awards, under
      any compensation or other employee benefit plan, program, policy or arrangement
      of the Company or its parents or subsidiaries, including any annual or quarterly

      agreement executed by the parties hereto or their respective successors and
      legal representatives.

      agreement.

     

    This
      letter agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
      laws

      employment taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable
      law or regulation.

      alienated, other than by will or the laws of descent and
      distribution.

     

    Nothing
      in this letter agreement shall be deemed to entitle you to continued employment
      with the Company.

     

    Any
      dispute in connection with, arising out of or asserting breach of this letter
      agreement shall be exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Such dispute
      shall be submitted to arbitration in New York, before a panel of three neutral
      arbitrators in accordance with the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration
      Association then in effect, and the determination of the arbitrators resulting
      from any such submission shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto.
      Judgment upon any arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent
      jurisdiction.

     

    Kindly

FIRST AMENDMENT TO SECOND

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

This First Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) is
dated as of the 17th day of October, 2006, by and among G REIT, L.P., a Virginia limited
partnership (“Borrower”), the lenders party to the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined) (the
“Lenders”), and LASALLE BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as a Lender and as agent for the Lenders
(“Agent”).

R E C I T A L S

WHEREAS, Borrower, Agent, and Bank of America (“BOA”) and Citizens Financial Services, FSB
(“Citizens”), as Lenders, are parties to a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of
January 25, 2006 (the “Credit Agreement”) pursuant to which the Lenders agreed to make a loan to
Borrower in an aggregate amount of $58,368,618.00 (the “Loan”); and

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to release the Mortgaged Property located at 20809-20829
72nd Avenue South and 6811 South 204th Street, Kent, Washington and known as Centerpoint Corporate
Park (the “Centerpoint Property”) pursuant to Article IX of the Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the parties wish to repay in full the Commitments held by BOA and Citizens rather
than making payments pro rata in accordance with Lenders’ Percentages pursuant to Section 2.10 of
the Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the parties agree that following the repayment in full of the BOA and Citizens
Commitments, the balance of the Release Price resulting from the sale of the Centerpoint Property
will be used to pay down the Commitment of LaSalle Bank National Association in its role as a
Lender;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements of the parties
contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, Borrower, Agent and the Lenders agree as follows:

Section 1. Recitals. The Recitals to this Amendment are hereby incorporated herein in their
entirety by this reference thereto and deemed to be a part hereof.

Section 2. Amendment to Credit Agreement.

2.1 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.10 of the Credit Agreement, the
parties hereto have agreed that the Commitments provided by BOA and Citizens will be paid
off in their entirety upon receipt of the Release Price from the sale of the Centerpoint
Property. The balance of the Release Price will be applied to the Commitment held by
LaSalle Bank. The amounts paid to each Lender from the Release Price are as follows:

(a) BOA will receive $26,684,309.00 plus accrued interest in the amount of
$84,194.55 in full repayment of its Commitment.

(b) Citizens will receive $5,000,000.00 plus accrued interest in the amount of
$15,776.05 in full repayment of its Commitment.

(c) LaSalle Bank will receive the balance of the Release Price from the sale of
Centerpoint in the amount of $8,215,720.40 and thereafter the principal balance of
its Commitment shall be $18,468,588.60.

2.2 Upon receipt of the proceeds described in Section 2.1 above, BOA and Citizens
shall no longer be Lenders under the Credit Agreement and each shall promptly mark any
Promissory Notes or Note Assumptions they are currently holding as paid in full and return
the same to Borrower.

Section 3. Representations and Warranties. To induce Agent and the Lenders to amend the
Credit Agreement, Borrower represents and warrants to Agent and the Lenders that:

Amendment and to incur and perform the obligations provided for under this Amendment and the Credit

condition to the validity or enforceability of this Amendment.

3.4 Amendment as Binding Agreement. This Amendment constitutes a valid and legally
binding obligation of Borrower, fully enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms.

3.5 No Conflicting Agreements. The execution and performance by the Borrower of this
Amendment will not (i) violate any provision of law, any order of any court or other agency of
government, or the organizational documents of Borrower, or (ii) violate any indenture, contract,
agreement or other instrument to which Borrower is a party, or by which its property is bound, or
be in conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with due notice and/or lapse of time) a
default under, any such indenture, contract, agreement or other instrument or result in the
creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of the
property or assets of Borrower.

4.3 Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties set forth in
this Amendment shall be true and correct in all respects as of the date hereof.

4.4 Other Documents. Agent shall have received such other documents and instruments
as Agent may deem reasonably necessary or appropriate, including without limitation, a Compliance

liabilities of Borrower to the Lenders, including but not limited to, all loans made by the Lenders
to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment.

5.3 Governing Law. This Amendment shall be construed in accordance with and governed
by the laws of the State of Illinois, and the obligations of Borrower under this Amendment are and

delay in exercising, any right under the Credit Agreement or any Loan Documents or under this
Amendment shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right
under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies provided in the Loan Documents are
cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or equity.
