of the Loan, as approved by Lender, (v) fund any working capital
requirements of the Property, and (vi) distribute the balance, if
any, to its members.
Section 2.2. Loan Payments
(a) The Loan shall bear interest at a fixed rate
per annum equal to the Note Rate. Interest shall be computed based
on the daily rate produced assuming a three hundred sixty (360) day
year, multiplied by the actual number of days elapsed. Except as
otherwise set forth in this Agreement, interest shall be paid in
arrears.
(b) Borrower hereby agrees to pay sums due under
the Note as follows: An initial payment of $656,943.75 is due on
the Closing Date for interest from the Closing Date through and
including March 31, 2005. Thereafter, except as may be adjusted in
accordance with the last sentence of Section 2.2(c), consecutive
monthly installments of interest only computed at the Note Rate on
the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be payable
pursuant to the terms of Section 2.2(d) (the “Monthly Payment
Amount”) on the first (1st) day of each month beginning on
May 1, 2005 (each a “Scheduled Payment Date”) until the
entire indebtedness evidenced hereby is fully paid, except that any
remaining indebtedness, if not sooner paid, shall be due and
payable on the Maturity Date.
(c) Intentionally omitted.
(d) Each payment by Borrower hereunder or under the
Note shall be payable at P.O. Box 65585, Charlotte, North Carolina
28265-0585, or by wire transfer to Bank of America, N.A., ABA
#111000025, Account #4782779943 for credit to CMSG, Loan #58851, or
at such other place as the Lender may designate from time to time
in writing, on the date such payment
is due, to Lender by deposit to such account as
Lender may designate by written notice to Borrower. Each payment by
Borrower hereunder or under the Note shall be made in funds settled
through the New York Clearing House Interbank Payments System or
other funds immediately available to Lender by 2:00 p.m., New York
City time, on the date such payment is due, to Lender by deposit to
such account as Lender may designate by written notice to Borrower.
Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Note shall be stated to
be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be
made on the first Business Day preceding such scheduled due date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts due under the Loan Documents
shall be deemed paid so long as there is sufficient money in the
Cash Management Account for payment of such amounts and
Lender’s access to such money has not been constrained or
constricted in any manner.
(e) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default,
all monthly payments made as scheduled under this Agreement and the
Note shall be applied first to the payment of
interest computed at the Note Rate. All voluntary and
involuntary prepayments on the Note shall be applied, to the extent
thereof, to accrued but unpaid interest on the amount prepaid, to
the remaining principal amount, and any other sums due and unpaid
to Lender in connection with the Loan, in such manner and order as
Lender may elect in its sole and absolute discretion. Following the
occurrence of an Event of Default, any payment made on the Note
shall be applied to accrued but unpaid interest, late charges,
accrued fees, the unpaid principal amount of the Note, and any
other sums due and unpaid to Lender in connection with the Loan, in
such manner and order as Lender may elect in its sole and absolute
discretion.
(f) All payments made by Borrower hereunder or
under the Note or the other Loan Documents shall be made
irrespective of, and without any deduction for, any setoff, defense
or counterclaims.
Section 2.3. Late Payment Charge
If any principal or interest payment is not paid
by Borrower on or before the date after the same is due, Borrower
shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of
four percent (4%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount
permitted by applicable law 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.
Section 2.4. Prepayment; Defeasance
Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this
Section 2.4 no voluntary prepayments, whether in whole or in part,
of the Loan or any other amount at any time due and owing under the
Note can be made by Borrower or any other Person without the
express written consent of Lender.
(a) Lockout Period . Borrower has no right to make, and Lender
shall have no obligation to accept, any voluntary prepayment,
whether in whole or in part, of the Loan during the Lockout Period.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if either (i) Lender, in its sole
and absolute
discretion, accepts a full or partial voluntary
prepayment during the Lockout Period or (ii) there is an
involuntary prepayment during the Lockout Period, then, in either
case, Borrower shall, in addition to any portion of the Loan
prepaid (together with all interest accrued and unpaid thereon),
pay to Lender a prepayment premium in an amount calculated in
accordance with Section 2.4(c) hereof.
(i) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Section
2.4 to the contrary, including, without limitation, subsection (a)
of this Section 2.4, at any time other than prior to the expiration
of the earlier of (a) the REMIC Prohibition Period or (b) forty-two
(42) months after the Closing Date, Borrower may cause the release
of the Property from the lien of the Mortgage and the other Loan
Documents upon the satisfaction of the following
conditions:
(A) no Event of Default shall exist under any of
the Loan Documents;
(B) not less than forty-five (45) (but not more
than ninety (90)) days prior written notice shall be given to
Lender specifying a date on which the Defeasance Collateral (as
hereinafter defined) is to be delivered (the “Release
Date”), such date being on a Scheduled Payment Date;
provided, however, that Borrower shall have the right (i) to cancel
such notice by providing Lender with notice of cancellation ten
(10) days prior to the scheduled Release Date, or (ii) to extend
the scheduled Release Date until the next Scheduled Payment Date;
provided that in each case, Borrower shall pay all of
Lender’s costs and expenses incurred as a result of such
cancellation or extension;
(C) all accrued and unpaid interest and all other
sums due under the Note, this Agreement and under the other Loan
Documents up to the Release Date, including, without limitation,
all fees, costs and expenses incurred by Lender and its agents in
connection with such release (including, without limitation,
reasonable legal fees and expenses for the review and preparation
of the Defeasance Security Agreement (as hereinafter defined) and
of the other materials described in Section 2.4(b)(i)(D) below and
any related documentation, and any servicing fees, Rating Agency
fees or other costs related to such release), shall be paid in full
on or prior to the Release Date;
(D) Borrower shall deliver to Lender on or prior to
the Release Date:
(1) a pledge and security agreement, in form and
substance satisfactory to a prudent institutional lender, creating
a first priority security interest in favor of Lender in the
Defeasance Collateral, as defined herein (the “Defeasance
Security Agreement”), which shall provide, among other
things, that any excess amounts received by Lender from the
Defeasance Collateral over the amounts payable by Borrower on a
given Scheduled Payment Date, which excess amounts are not required
to cover all or any portion of amounts payable on a future
Scheduled
Payment Date, shall be refunded to Borrower
promptly after each such Scheduled Payment Date;
(2) (i) direct non-callable obligations of, or
guaranteed as to timely payment by, the United States of America or
other obligations which are “government securities”
within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company
Act of 1940, or (ii) to the extent acceptable by the applicable
Rating Agencies rating the Securities, other non-callable
government securities satisfying applicable REMIC provisions (e.g.,
§§ 860A-860G of Subchapter M of the Code), that provide
for payments prior and as close as possible to (but in no event
later than) all successive Scheduled Payment Dates occurring after
the Release Date, with each such payment being equal to or greater
than the amount of the corresponding Monthly Payment Amount
required to be paid under this Agreement and the Note (including
all amounts due on the Maturity Date) for the balance of the term
hereof (the “Defeasance Collateral”), each of which
shall be duly endorsed by the holder thereof as directed by Lender
or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form and
substance satisfactory to a prudent institutional lender
(including, without limitation, such certificates, documents and
instruments as may be required by the depository institution
holding such securities or 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 Security Agreement the first
priority security interest therein in favor of Lender in conformity
with all applicable state and federal laws governing granting of
such security interests;
(3) a certificate of Borrower certifying that all
of the requirements set forth in this Section 2.4(b)(i) have been
satisfied;
(4) one or more opinions of counsel for Borrower
that are customary in commercial lending transactions and subject
only to customary qualifications, assumptions and exceptions
opining, among other things, that (i) Lender has a perfected
security interest in the Defeasance Collateral and that the
Defeasance Security Agreement is enforceable against Borrower in
accordance with its terms, (ii) in the event of a bankruptcy
proceeding or similar occurrence with respect to Borrower, none of
the Defeasance Collateral nor any proceeds thereof will be property
of Borrower’s estate under Section 541 of the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code or any similar statute and the grant of security interest
therein to Lender shall not constitute an avoidable preference
under Section 547 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or applicable state
law, (iii) the release of the lien of the Mortgage and the pledge
of Defeasance Collateral will not directly or indirectly result in
or cause any REMIC Trust that then holds the Note to fail to
maintain its status as a REMIC Trust and (iv) the defeasance will
not cause any REMIC Trust to be an “investment company”
under the Investment Company Act of 1940;
(5) a certificate in form and scope acceptable to a
prudent institutional lender from an Acceptable Accountant
certifying that the Defeasance Collateral will generate amounts
sufficient to make all payments of principal and interest as and
when due under the Note (including the scheduled outstanding
principal balance of the Loan due on the Maturity Date);
and
(6) such other certificates, documents and
instruments as a prudent institutional lender may reasonably
require; and
(E) in the event the Loan is held by a REMIC Trust,
Lender has received written confirmation from any Rating Agency
rating any Securities that substitution of the Defeasance
Collateral will not result in a downgrade, withdrawal, or
qualification of the ratings then assigned to any of the
Securities.
(ii) Upon compliance with the requirements of
Section 2.4(b)(i), the Property shall be released from the lien of
the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, and the Defeasance
Collateral shall constitute sole collateral which shall secure the
Note and all other obligations under the Loan Documents. Lender
will, at Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver any
agreements reasonably requested by Borrower to release the lien of
the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents from the
Property.
(iii) Upon the release of the Property in accordance
with this Section 2.4(b), Borrower shall assign all its obligations
and rights under the Note, together with the pledged Defeasance
Collateral, to a successor entity designated and approved by Lender
in its sole and absolute discretion (“Successor
Borrower”). Successor Borrower shall execute an assignment
and assumption agreement in form and substance satisfactory to a
prudent institutional lender pursuant to which it shall assume
Borrower’s obligations under the Note and the Defeasance
Security Agreement. As conditions to such assignment and
assumption, Borrower shall (A) deliver to Lender one or more
opinions of counsel that are customary in commercial lending
transactions and subject only to customary qualifications,
assumptions and exceptions opining, among other things, that such
assignment and assumption agreement is enforceable against Borrower
and the Successor Borrower in accordance with its terms and that
the Note and the Defeasance Security Agreement, as so assigned and
assumed, are enforceable against the Successor Borrower in
accordance with their respective terms, and opining to such other
matters relating to Successor Borrower and its organizational
structure as Lender may reasonably require, and (B) pay all fees,
costs and expenses incurred by Lender or its agents in connection
with such assignment and assumption (including, without limitation,
reasonable legal fees and expenses and for the review of the
proposed transferee and the preparation of the assignment and
assumption agreement and related certificates, documents and
instruments and any fees payable to any Rating Agencies and their
counsel in connection with the issuance of the confirmation
referred to in subsection (b)(i)(E) above). Upon such assignment
and assumption, Borrower shall be relieved of its obligations
hereunder, under the Note, under the other Loan Documents and under
the Defeasance Security Agreement, except as expressly set forth in
the assignment and assumption agreement.
(iv) In no event shall Lender have any obligation to
notify Borrower that a REMIC Prohibition Period is in effect with
respect to the Loan, except that Lender shall notify Borrower if
any REMIC Prohibition Period is in effect with respect to the Loan
after receiving any notice described in Section 2.4(b)(i)(B);
provided, however, that the failure of Lender to so notify Borrower
shall not impose any liability on Lender or grant Borrower any
right to defease the Loan during any such REMIC Prohibition
Period.
(c) Involuntary Prepayment During the Lockout
Period . During the
Lockout Period, in the event of any involuntary prepayment of the
Loan or any other amount under the Note, whether in whole or in
part, in connection with or following Lender’s acceleration
of the Note or otherwise, and whether the Mortgage is satisfied or
released by foreclosure (whether by power of sale or judicial
proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means,
including, without limitation, repayment of the Loan by Borrower or
any other Person pursuant to any statutory or common law right of
redemption, Borrower shall, in addition to any portion of the
principal balance of the Loan prepaid (together with all interest
accrued and unpaid thereon and in the event the prepayment is made
on a date other than a Scheduled Payment Date, a sum equal to the
amount of interest which would have accrued under the Note on the
amount of such prepayment if such prepayment had occurred on the
next Scheduled Payment Date), pay to Lender a prepayment premium in
an amount equal to the greater of (i) 1% of the portion of the Loan
being prepaid, and (ii) the present value as of the Prepayment
Calculation Date of a series of monthly payments over the remaining
term of the Loan each equal to the amount of interest which would
be due on the portion of the Loan being prepaid assuming a per
annum interest rate equal to the excess of the Note Rate over the
Reinvestment Yield, and discounted at the Reinvestment Yield. As
used herein, “Reinvestment Yield” means the yield
calculated by the linear interpolation of the yields, as reported
in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15-Selected Interest
Rates under the heading “U.S. government securities”
and the sub-heading “Treasury constant maturities” for
the week ending prior to the Prepayment Calculation Date, of the
U.S. Treasury constant maturities with maturity dates (one longer
and one equal to or shorter) most nearly approximating the Maturity
Date, and converted to a monthly compounded nominal yield. In the
event Release H.15 is no longer published, Lender shall select a
comparable publication to determine the Reinvestment Yield. The
“Prepayment Calculation Date” shall mean, as
applicable, the date on which (i) Lender applies any prepayment to
the reduction of the outstanding principal amount of this Note,
(ii) Lender accelerates the Loan, in the case of a prepayment
resulting from acceleration, or (iii) Lender applies funds held
under any Reserve Account, in the case of a prepayment resulting
from such an application (other than in connection with
acceleration of the Loan).
(d) Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds; Excess
Interest .
Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, and
provided no Event of Default exists, Borrower shall not be required
to pay any prepayment premium in connection with any prepayment
occurring solely as a result of (i) the application of
Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds pursuant to the terms
of the Loan Documents, or (ii) the application of any interest in
excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law to the
reduction of the Loan.
(e) After the Lockout Period . Commencing on the day after the expiration of
the Lockout Period, and upon giving Lender at least thirty (30)
days (but not more than ninety (90) days) prior written notice,
Borrower may voluntarily prepay (without premium) the Note
in
whole (but not in part) on a Scheduled Payment
Date. Lender shall accept a prepayment pursuant to this Section
2.4(e) on a day other than a Scheduled Payment Date provided that,
in addition to payment of the full outstanding principal balance of
the Note, Borrower pays to Lender a sum equal to the amount of
interest which would have accrued on the Note if such prepayment
occurred on the next Scheduled Payment Date.
(f) Limitation on Partial Prepayments
. In no event shall Lender have any
obligation to accept a partial prepayment.
Section 2.5. Payments after Default
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, interest on the outstanding principal
balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue
interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan, (a) shall
accrue at the Default Rate, and (b) Lender shall be entitled to
receive and Borrower shall pay to Lender all cash flow from the
Property in accordance with the terms of the Article 10 hereof,
such amount to be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in
such order as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion,
including, without limitation, alternating applications thereof
between interest and principal. Interest at the Default Rate shall
be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the
earlier of (i) the actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or
that portion thereof that is then due) and (ii) the cure of such
Event of Default. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall
itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be
secured by the Mortgage. This paragraph shall not be construed as
an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the
Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to
Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default; the
acceptance of any payment from Borrower shall not be deemed to cure
or constitute a waiver of any Event of Default (other than the
applicable payment default giving rise to such Event of Default);
and Lender retains its rights under this Agreement to accelerate
and to continue to demand payment of the Debt upon the happening of
and during the continuance any Event of Default, despite any
payment by Borrower to Lender.
Section 2.6. Usury Savings
This Agreement and the Note 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 subject Lender to either civil or criminal
liability as a result of 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 Note 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.

normal replacement or disposal of the Personal Property in the
ordinary course of Borrower’s business) without the prior
written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed. If under applicable zoning

give cause for cancellation of any Policy, or do or permit to be
done thereon anything that is reasonably expected to in any way
impair the value of the Property or the security for the Loan.

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,

of Taxes in the event that such Taxes have been paid by Lender
pursuant to Section 9.6 hereof). Subject to Section 5.4(b),

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

required in the proceeding, or deliver to Lender such reserve
deposits as may be requested by Lender, to insure the payment of
any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all interest and

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 danger of being sold,
forfeited, terminated, canceled or lost or there shall be any
danger of the Lien of the Mortgage being primed by any related
Lien.
Section 5.5. Litigation

therewith, permit Lender, at its election, to participate in any
such proceedings.

obtaining for Lender the benefits of any Awards or Insurance
Proceeds lawfully or equitably payable in connection with the
Property, and Lender shall be reimbursed for any expenses incurred
in connection therewith (including reasonable, actual
attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and the payment by
Borrower of the expense of an appraisal on behalf of Lender in case
of a Casualty or Condemnation affecting the Property or any part
thereof) out of such Awards or Insurance Proceeds.
Section 5.11. Financial Reporting
(a) Borrower will maintain full and accurate books
of accounts and other records reflecting the results of the
operations of the and will furnish to Lender on or before

correct in all material respects: (i) a written statement
(rent roll) dated as of the last day of each such calendar quarter
identifying each of the Leases (excluding subleases) by the term,
space occupied, rental required to be paid, security deposit paid,
any rental concessions, and a report identifying any defaults or
payment delinquencies thereunder; (ii) monthly and year to
date operating statements prepared for each calendar month during

sufficient under generally accepted accounting practices to fairly
represent the financial position and results of operation of the
Property during such calendar month, all in form satisfactory to
Lender; (iii) a balance sheet for each such calendar quarter;
and (iv) a comparison
of the budgeted income and expenses and the
actual income and expenses for year to date together with a
detailed explanation of any variances of five percent (5%) or more
between budgeted and actual amounts for such year to date period.
Until a Securitization has occurred, Borrower shall furnish monthly
each of the items listed in the immediately preceding sentence
within thirty (30) days after the end of such month. Within one
hundred twenty (120) days following the end of each calendar year
(provided, however, if requested by Lender, Borrower shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to provide Lender with any
unaudited annual statements prior to such date), Borrower shall
furnish statements of its financial affairs and condition including
a balance sheet and a statement of profit and loss for the Borrower
in such detail as Lender may reasonably request, and setting forth
the financial condition and the income and expenses for the
Property for the immediately preceding calendar year, which
statements shall be prepared by Borrower. Borrower’s annual
financial statements shall include (x) a list of the tenants,
if any, occupying more than twenty (20%) percent of the total floor
area of the Improvements, and (y) a breakdown showing the year
in which each Lease then in effect expires and the percentage of
total floor area of the Improvements and the percentage of base
rent with respect to which Leases shall expire in each such year,
each such percentage to be expressed on both a per year and a
cumulative basis. Borrower’s annual financial statements
shall be accompanied by a certificate executed by a financial
officer of Borrower or the Sponsor, as applicable, stating that
each such annual financial statement presents fairly the financial
condition of the Property being reported upon and shall be audited
by a “Big Four” accounting firm or other independent
certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Lender, which
audited financial statements may be in the form of schedules to the
audited consolidated financial statements of the Sponsor. Each such
annual financial statement shall be prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied or
the method used in connection with the financial statements
delivered to Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan. At
any time and from time to time Borrower shall deliver to Lender or
its agents such other financial data as Lender or its agents shall
reasonably request with respect to the ownership, maintenance, use
and operation of the Property. Borrower shall furnish to Lender an
Annual Budget not later than thirty (30) days prior to the
commencement of each fiscal year of Borrower in form reasonably
satisfactory to Lender. In the event that Lender objects to a
proposed Annual Budget submitted by Borrower, Lender shall advise
Borrower of such objections within fifteen (15) days after receipt
thereof (and deliver to Borrower a reasonably detailed description
of such objections) and Borrower shall promptly revise such Annual
Budget and resubmit the same to Lender. Lender shall advise
Borrower in writing of any objections to such revised Annual Budget
within ten (10) days after receipt thereof (and deliver to Borrower
a reasonably detailed description of such objections) and Borrower
shall promptly revise the same in accordance with the process
described in this subsection until Lender approves the Annual
Budget. Lender shall have a period of thirty (30) days from receipt
of such Annual Budget, together with any other related
documentation reasonably requested by Lender, in which to approve
or reject such Annual Budget, provided that such Annual Budget is
accompanied by a written request from Borrower marked in bold
lettering with the following language: “LENDER’S
RESPONSE IS REQUIRED WITHIN THIRTY (30) 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 - LENDER’S RESPONSE
REQUIRED IN THIRTY (30) DAYS”. In the event that Lender fails
to approve or reject such Annual Budget in such period of time,
Lender’s
consent to such Annual Budget shall be deemed
given. Until such time that Lender approves a proposed Annual
Budget, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed, the most recent Annual Budget shall apply;
provided that, such approved Annual Budget shall be adjusted to
reflect actual increases in Taxes, Insurance Premiums, utilities
expenses and expenses under the Management Agreement.
(b) Upon request from Lender, Borrower shall
promptly furnish to Lender:

connection with any Lease of any part of the Property, including
the name and identification number of the accounts in which such
security deposits are held, the name and address of the financial
institutions in which such security deposits are held and the name
of the Person to contact at such financial institution, along with
any authority or release necessary for Lender to obtain information
regarding such accounts directly from such financial institutions;
and
(iii) a report of all letters of credit provided by
any Tenant in connection with any Lease of any part of the
Property, including the account numbers of such letters of credit,
the names and addresses of the financial institutions that issued
such letters of credit and the names of the Persons to contact at
such financial institutions, along with any authority or release
necessary for Lender to obtain information regarding such letters
of credit directly from such financial institutions.

Lender, promptly upon request, with the following financial

of the Loan when combined with the principal amount of any
Affiliated Loans at any time during which the Loan and any
Affiliated Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or
exceed 20% of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans
included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the
Securitization:

corresponding period of the most recent fiscal year, meeting the
requirements of Section 210.3-02 of Regulation S-X (provided, that
if for such corresponding period of the most recent fiscal year
Acquired Property Statements were permitted to be provided
hereunder pursuant to subsection (i) above, Borrower shall instead
provide Acquired Property Statements for such corresponding
period).

Date.
(ii) If requested by Lender, Borrower shall provide
Lender, promptly upon request, with summaries of the financial

Disclosure Document is being prepared for a Securitization, it is
expected that the principal amount of the Loan and any Affiliated
Loans at the time of Securitization may, or if the principal amount
of the Loan and any Affiliated Loans at any time 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

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

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 Lender.
(v) In the event Lender determines, in connection
with a Securitization, that the financial statements required in
order to comply with Regulation S-X or other legal requirements are

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 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

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

guarantor of any Lease pursuant to the terms of such Lease), and
shall furnish to Lender and its agents convenient facilities for
the examination and audit of any such books and records.

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. Other than in connection with a
Securitization, Borrower shall not be required to use its best
efforts to deliver such estoppel certificates more than once per
year so long as no Event of Default exists.

(including the renewal or extension of an existing Lease (a
“Renewal Lease”)) without the prior written consent of
Lender, provided such proposed Lease or Renewal Lease (i) provides
for rental rates and terms comparable to existing local market
rates and terms (taking into account the type and quality of the

in the case of a Renewal Lease, the rent payable during such
renewal, or a formula or other method to compute such rent, is
provided for in the original Lease), (ii) is an arm’s-length
transaction with a bona fide, independent third party tenant or

refusal, or other similar right to acquire all or any portion of
the Property, (vi) has a base term of less than fifteen (15) years

or concessions granted
thereunder, other than as consistent with then

(viii) is written on the standard form of lease approved by Lender
and attached hereto as Exhibit C, subject to tenant specific
negotiated changes which do not, individually or in the aggregate,
cause a Material Adverse Change with respect to the Property or the
financial condition of Borrower. All proposed Lease
