hereby agrees to make and Borrower hereby agrees to accept the Loan
on the Closing Date.
2.1.2 Single Disbursement to Borrower .
Borrower may request and receive only one (1) borrowing hereunder
in respect of the Loan and any amount borrowed and repaid hereunder
in respect of the Loan may not be reborrowed.
2.1.3 The Note, Mortgage and Loan Documents .
The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note and secured by the
Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases and the other Loan
Documents.
2.1.4 Use of Proceeds . Borrower shall use the

discharge any existing loans relating to the Property, (b) pay
all past-due Basic Carrying Costs, if any, with respect to the

Closing Date in the amounts provided herein, (d) pay costs and
expenses incurred in connection with the closing of the Loan, as
approved by Lender, (e) fund any working capital requirements
of the Property and (f) distribute the balance, if any, to
Borrower.
Section 2.2 Interest Rate .
2.2.1 Interest Rate . Interest on the
outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue from (and
include) the Closing Date to but excluding the Maturity Date at the
Interest Rate calculated as set forth in Section 2.2.2 below.
Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date the interest
accrued on the Loan for the related Interest Period.
2.2.2 Interest Calculation . Interest on the
outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated by
multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the
Interest Period for which the calculation is being made by
(b) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day
year by (c) the outstanding principal balance as of the
beginning of the Interest Period.
2.2.3 Default Rate . In the event that, and
for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to
the extent permitted by law, all accrued and unpaid interest in

Documents, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated
from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or
cure periods contained herein.
2.2.4 Usury Savings . This Agreement, the Note
and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition
that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay
interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could

being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time
required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due
hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the
Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be
deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all
previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be
deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on
account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to
be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the
sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread
throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full
so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does
not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in
effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is
outstanding.
Section 2.3 Loan Payment .
2.3.1 Monthly Debt Service Payments . Borrower
shall pay to Lender (a) on the Closing Date, an amount equal
to interest only on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan
from the Closing Date up to and including July 31, 2007, which

Section 2.2 hereof and (b) on each Payment Date
commencing on the Payment Date occurring in September, 2007 and
thereafter up to and including the Maturity Date, Borrower shall
make a payment to Lender equal to the Monthly Debt Service Payment
Amount.
2.3.2 Payments Generally . The first Interest
Period hereunder shall commence on and include the Closing Date and
shall end on and include July 31, 2007. Thereafter each
Interest Period shall commence on the first (1 st ) day of each
calendar month during the term of this Agreement and shall end on
and include the final calendar date of such calendar month. For
purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of
calculating Interest Periods, if the day on which such payment is
due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be
due on the immediately preceding Business Day and with respect to
payments of principal due on the Maturity Date, interest shall be
payable at the Interest Rate or the Default
Rate, as

interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents (including
the amounts due on the Maturity Date) are not paid by Borrower on
or prior to the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to
Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent
(5%) of such unpaid sum or the Maximum Legal Rate in order to
defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing
such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of
the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be
secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents to the extent
permitted by applicable law.
2.3.5 Method and Place of Payment . Except as
otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and
prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to
Lender not later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the
date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United
States of America in immediately available funds at Lender’s
office or as otherwise directed by Lender, and any funds received
by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed
to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.
Section 2.4 Prepayments .
2.4.1 Voluntary Prepayments . Except as
otherwise provided in this Section 2.4.1 and
Section 2.4.2, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the
Loan in whole or in part prior to the Maturity Date. If for any
reason Borrower prepays the Loan on a date other than a Payment
Date, Borrower shall pay Lender, in addition to the Debt, all
interest which would have accrued on the amount of the Loan through
and including the Payment Date next occurring following the date of
such prepayment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, commencing after the Payment Date two (2) months prior
to the Maturity Date, or on any Payment Date thereafter (or on any
date thereafter, provided that interest is paid through the next
Payment Date), Borrower may, at its option, prepay the Debt in
whole, but not in part without payment of the Yield Maintenance
Premium.
2.4.2 Mandatory Prepayments . On the next
occurring Payment Date following the date on which Lender actually
receives any Net Proceeds, if Lender is not obligated to make such
Net Proceeds available to Borrower for the Restoration of the
Property or otherwise remit such Net Proceeds to Borrower pursuant
to Section 6.4 hereof, Borrower shall prepay or
authorize Lender to apply Net Proceeds as a prepayment of all or a
portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan together
with accrued interest through the end of the related Interest
Period and any other sums due hereunder in an amount equal to one
hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds; provided, however, if
an Event of Default has occurred
and is
continuing, Lender may apply such Net Proceeds to the Debt (until
paid in full) in any order or priority in its sole discretion.
Other than following an Event of Default, no Yield Maintenance
Premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made
pursuant to this Section 2.4.2 .
2.4.3 Prepayments After Default . If following
an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Debt is
tendered by Borrower or otherwise recovered by Lender, such tender
or recovery shall be (a) made on the next occurring Payment
Date together with the Monthly Debt Service Payment and
(b) deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower in violation of
the prohibition against prepayment set forth in
Section 2.4.1 hereof and Borrower shall pay, in
addition to the Debt, an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance
Default Premium.
2.4.4 Prepayment Prior to Defeasance Expiration
Date. If the Permitted Release Date has occurred but the
Defeasance Expiration Date has not occurred, the Debt may be
prepaid in whole (but not in part) prior to the date permitted
under Section 2.4.1 hereof upon not less than thirty
(30) days prior written notice to Lender specifying the
Payment Date on which prepayment is to be made (a “
Prepayment Date ”) provided no Event of Default exists
and upon payment of an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance
Premium. Lender shall notify Borrower of the amount and the basis
of determination of the required prepayment consideration. If any
notice of prepayment is given, the Debt shall be due and payable on
the Prepayment Date. Lender shall not be obligated to accept any
prepayment of the Debt unless it is accompanied by the prepayment
consideration due in connection therewith. If for any reason
Borrower prepays the Loan on a date other than a Payment Date,
Borrower shall pay Lender, in addition to the Debt, all interest
which would have accrued on the amount of the Loan through and
including the Payment Date next occurring following the date of
such prepayment.
Section 2.5 Defeasance .
2.5.1 Voluntary Defeasance . (a) Provided
no Event of Default shall then exist, Borrower shall have the right
at any time after the Defeasance Expiration Date and prior to the
date voluntarily prepayments are permitted under Section 2.4.1
hereof to voluntarily defease all, but not part, of the Loan by and
upon satisfaction of the following conditions (such event being a

Agreement”);
(vi) Borrower shall deliver an

Borrower shall also deliver or cause to be delivered an Additional

Agencies;

Agreement and the Note, and in amounts equal to the scheduled
payments due on such Payment Dates under this Agreement and the
Note (including, without limitation, scheduled payments of
principal, interest, servicing fees (if any), and any other amounts
due under the Loan Documents on such Payment Dates) and assuming
the Note is prepaid in full on the Anticipated Repayment Date (the
“Scheduled Defeasance Payments”). Borrower, pursuant to
the Security Agreement or other appropriate document, shall
authorize and direct that the payments received from the U.S.
Obligations may be made directly to the Lockbox Account (unless
otherwise directed by Lender) and applied to satisfy the Debt
Service obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Note.

necessary to purchase the U.S. Obligations required by this
Section 2.5 and satisfy Borrower’s other obligations

to Borrower.

Obligations that are part of the defeasance collateral shall be

by the depository institution holding such securities or by the
issuer thereof, as the case may be, to effectuate book-entry
transfers and pledges through the book-entry facilities of such
institution) in order to perfect upon the delivery of the
defeasance collateral a first priority security interest therein in

Rating Agencies, incurred in connection therewith.
Section 2.6 Release of Property . Except as set

Security Agreement, shall be the sole source of collateral securing
the Note.
(b) In
connection with the release of the Mortgage, Borrower shall submit
to Lender, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the
Defeasance Date, a release of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for
the Property for execution by Lender. Such release shall be in a
form appropriate in the jurisdiction in which the Property is
located and that would be satisfactory to a prudent lender and
contains standard provisions, if any, protecting the rights of the
releasing lender . In addition, Borrower shall provide all other
documentation Lender reasonably requires to be delivered by
Borrower in connection with such release, together with an
Officer’s Certificate certifying that such documentation
(i) is in compliance with all Legal Requirements, and
(ii) will effect such releases in accordance with the terms of

shall, or shall cause Manager, to, deliver written instructions
(which shall be irrevocable for so long as the Loan is outstanding)
to all tenants under Leases to deliver all Rents payable thereunder
directly to the Lockbox Account. Borrower shall, and shall cause

organized and is validly existing and in good standing with
requisite power and authority to own its properties and to transact
the businesses in which it is now engaged. Borrower is duly
qualified to do business and is in good standing in each
jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection
with its properties, businesses and operations. Borrower possesses
all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or
otherwise, necessary to entitle it to own its properties and to
transact the businesses in which it is now engaged, and the sole
business of Borrower is the ownership, management and operation of
the Property. The ownership interests in Borrower are as set forth
on the organizational chart attached hereto as
Schedule III .
4.1.2 Proceedings . Borrower has taken all
necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. This
Agreement and such other Loan Documents have been duly executed and
delivered by or on behalf of Borrower and constitute legal, valid
and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in
accordance with their respective terms, subject only to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of
creditors generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general
principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought
in a proceeding in equity or at law).
4.1.3 No Conflicts . The execution, delivery
and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by
Borrower will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the
terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in
the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance
(other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the
property or assets of Borrower pursuant to the terms of any
indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership
agreement, management agreement or other agreement or instrument to
which Borrower is a party or by which any of Borrower’s
property or assets is subject, nor will such action result in any
violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or
regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over
Borrower or any of Borrower’s properties or assets, and any
consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or
qualification of or with any court or any such Governmental
Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by
Borrower of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been
obtained and is in full force and effect.
4.1.4 Litigation . There are no actions, suits
or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental
Authority or other agency now pending or threatened against or
affecting Borrower, Guarantor, Principal or the Property, which
actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against Borrower,
Guarantor, Principal or the Property, might materially adversely
affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of
Borrower, Guarantor, Principal or the condition or ownership of the
Property.
4.1.5 Agreements . Borrower is not a party to
any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which
might materially and adversely affect Borrower or the Property, or
Borrower’s business, properties or assets, operations or
condition, financial or otherwise. Borrower is not in default in
any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment
of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any
agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which Borrower
or the Property is bound. Borrower has no material financial
obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan
agreement or other
agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which
Borrower or the Property is otherwise bound, other than
(a) obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the
operation of the Property as permitted pursuant to clause
(xxiii) of the definition of “Special Purpose
Entity” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof and
(b) obligations under the Loan Documents.
4.1.6 Title . Borrower has good, marketable
and insurable fee simple title to the real property comprising part
of the Property and good title to the balance of the Property, free
and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted
Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the
Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. The
Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially and
adversely affect the value, operation or use of the Property (as
currently used) or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan. The
Mortgage, when properly recorded in the appropriate records,
together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements
required to be filed in connection therewith, will create
(a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on the Property,
subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the
Loan Documents and (b) perfected security interests in and to,
and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including
the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case
subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other
Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens
created by the Loan Documents. There are no claims for payment for
work, labor or materials affecting the Property which are or may
become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens
created by the Loan Documents.

entered into this transaction or executed the Note, this Agreement
or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay
or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent
value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents.
Giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of
Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the
making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities,
including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed
and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of
Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the
making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable
liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent
liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured.
Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the
making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital
to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be
conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that
it will, incur debt and liabilities (including contingent
liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such
debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing
and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to
be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower). No
petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower or any
constituent Person in the last seven (7) years, and neither
Borrower nor any constituent Person in the last seven
(7) years has ever made an assignment for the benefit of
creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit
of debtors. Neither Borrower nor any of its constituent Persons are
contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state
or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all
or a major portion of Borrower’s assets or property, and
Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of
any such petition against it or such constituent Persons.
4.1.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure . No
statement of fact made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any of
the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a
material
fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make
statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no

can foresee, might adversely affect, the Property or the business,
operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower.

sponsor, is not obligated to contribute to, and is not itself an
“employee benefit plan,” as defined in

constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or
more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R.
Section 2510.3-101. In addition, (a) Borrower is not a
“governmental plan” within the meaning of
Section 3(32) of ERISA and (b) transactions by or with
Borrower are not subject to any state or other statute , regulation
or other restriction regulating investments of, or fiduciary
obligations with respect to, governmental plans within the meaning
of Section 3(32) of ERISA which is similar to the provisions

part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s
obligations under any of the Loan Documents.

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 materially adverse effect on the Property or the
operation thereof as a retail shopping center, except as referred
