ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION.
On July 6, 1998, the Trust issued a Press Release, a copy of which is
attached hereto as Exhibit 99.14 and is incorporated herein by reference.
On June 26, 1998, the Trust amended (for the second time) the
Convertible Term Loan Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") dated as of October
10, 1997, previously amended as of March 30, 1998, between the Trust and
the group of lenders that, on October 14, 1997, committed to loan the Trust
up to $20 million and simultaneously purchased approximately 2.2 million
shares of beneficial interest of the Trust. Pursuant to the second
amendment, the Loan Agreement was modified to extend the entire $20 million
unsecured loan commitment until October 14, 1998. Prior to the second
amendment, the first $10 million of the loan commitment was scheduled to
expire on June 30, 1998.
On June 22, 1998 and May 22, 1998 various wholly owned subsidiaries
of Banyan Strategic Realty Trust and two joint ventures consisting of
subsidiaries of the Trust and an unaffiliated partner entered into three
loan agreements with Nomura Asset Capital Corporation ("Nomura"). The Pool
A Loan was in the amount of $38.3 million and was funded on June 5, 1998.
The Pool B Loan, discussed below, was in the amount of $7.7 million and was
funded on June 5, 1998. The Pool C Loan was in the amount of $7.65 million
and was funded on June 30, 1998.
The Pool A Loan matures on June 11, 2028 and the Pool C Loan matures
on July 11, 2028. Both loans are payable in monthly installments of
principal and interest based on a 315-month amortization schedule. The
interest rate is equal to 6.95% for the first 10 years of each loan. The
borrowers have an option to prepay both loans on June 11, 2008 (the
"Optional Prepayment Date"). The Pool A Loan, in the amount of $38.3
million, is secured by cross-collateralized first mortgages on the Trust's
Colonial Penn Building, Phoenix Business Center, Newtown Business Center,
Southlake Corporate Center, Technology Center, Airways Plaza Office Center,
Peachtree Pointe Office Park, Avalon Center Office Park, Sand Lake
Technology Center, Metric Plaza, Park Center, and University Corporate
Center, The Pool C loan, in the amount of $7.65 million, is secured by
cross-collateralized first mortgages on the Trust's Milwaukee Industrial
Portfolio and Elmhurst Metro Court. These projects are jointly owned by
subsidiaries of the Trust and affiliates of Morgan Realty Partners. During
the period beginning three years after the loan closing through the
Optional Prepayment Date, the borrowers have the ability to substitute
different properties as collateral under each loan as long as the loan
amount relative to all properties replaced does not exceed fifty percent of
the total loan amount and certain other conditions are satisfied.
Also on May 22, 1998, two wholly owned subsidiaries of Banyan
Strategic Realty Trust, BSRT Lexington B Corp. and BSRT Lexington Trust
(the "Lexington Borrowers") entered into a loan agreement with Nomura (the
"Pool B Loan"). The Pool B Loan, in the amount of $7.7 million, was funded
on June 5, 1998 and is secured by a first mortgage on the Trust's Lexington
Business Center. The interest rate is equal to 7.07% for the first 11
years of the loan. The Lexington Borrowers will pay interest only on a
monthly basis through July 11, 1999. At that time, Nomura will have the
ability to restate the loan amount based on the property's projected net
operating income for one year following that date. If the debt service
coverage ratio is below 1.65 to 1 based on the Lexington Business Center's
net operating income, Nomura can require the Lexington Borrowers either to
repay a portion of the loan or to add additional collateral so that the
aforementioned debt service coverage requirement will be achieved
prospectively. Subsequent to July 11, 1999, the Lexington Borrowers will
make monthly principal and interest payments, based on a 315-month
amortization schedule through and including the maturity date (June 11,
2028). The Lexington Borrowers have an option to repay the loan on June
11, 2009.

The Trust used the proceeds of the loans to repay the amounts
outstanding under the Nomura line of credit and the American National Bank
Line of Credit of $23.25 million and $20.65, respectively. The Trust also
repaid the loans secured by the Milwaukee Industrial Portfolio and the
Elmhurst Metro Court in the amounts of $3.5 million and $3.8 million,
respectively. The balance of the proceeds was utilized to pay transaction
related costs and for general operating reserves.

Section 2.2 INTEREST; MONTHLY PAYMENTS.
2.2.1 GENERALLY.
(a) From the date hereof through but not including the Reset
Date, Borrower shall pay interest on the outstanding principal balance of
the Loan at the Interest Rate.
(b) On the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay interest on the
outstanding principal balance of the Loan from the date hereof through June
10, 1998. Commencing with the Payment Date on July 11, 1998, and on each
and every Payment Date thereafter through and including the Maturity Date,
the principal amount of the Loan and interest thereon at the Interest Rate
shall be payable in equal monthly installments of Two Hundred Sixty Four
Thousand Seven Hundred Twenty Eight and 13/100 Dollars ($264,728.13) (the
"Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount"); such Monthly Debt Service Payment
Amount being based on the Interest Rate and a 360-month amortization
schedule. The Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount due on any Payment Date
shall first be applied to the payment of interest accrued from the eleventh
(11th) day of month preceding the Payment Date to the tenth (10th) day of
the month in which the Payment Date occurs, notwithstanding that the
Payment Date may have been deferred because the eleventh (11th) day of such
month is not a Business Day. The remainder of such Monthly Debt Service
Payment Amount shall be applied to the reduction of the outstanding
principal balance of the Note.
(c) From and after the Reset Date, interest on the Loan shall
accrue at the Revised Interest Rate and shall be payable as provided in
Sections 2.2.2 and 2.2.3.
2.2.2 ACCRUED INTEREST. From and after the Reset Date, all
interest accruing on the Note in excess of the Interest Rate ("Accrued
Interest") shall be deferred, be added to the portion of the Debt evidenced
by such Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, accrue
interest at the Revised Interest Rate, compounded monthly. All Accrued
Interest shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.
2.2.3 PROPERTY CASH FLOW ALLOCATION AFTER THE OPTIONAL PREPAYMENT
DATE. Commencing on the month following the Optional Prepayment Date and
continuing on each Payment Date thereafter until the entire Debt has been
paid in full, any Rents deposited into the Deposit Account (or otherwise
received by Borrower) during the immediately preceding calendar month shall
be applied as follows in the following order of priority:
(a) First, to make the required Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund
Payments;
(b) Second, to Lender to pay the Monthly Debt Service Payment
Amount (plus, if applicable, interest at the Default Rate);
(c) Third, payments for Approved Operating Expenses;
(d) Fourth, to make the required Capital Reserve Fund Payments and
Rollover Reserve Fund Payments;
(e) Fifth, payments to Lender to prepay the outstanding principal
balance under the Note in such order and in such amounts as Lender may
elect, until the Note is paid in full;
(f) Sixth, from and after the Reset Date, payments to Lender to be
applied against Accrued Interest and interest accrued thereon; and
(g) Lastly, payments to Borrower of any excess amounts.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the failure of Borrower to
deposit all Rents into the Deposit Account or to cause funds in the Deposit
Account to be applied other than to the payments required under clauses (a)
through (g) above in the month following the Optional Prepayment Date and
on each Payment Date thereafter shall constitute an Event of Default under
this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
failure of Borrower to make all of the payments required under clauses (a)
through (d) above in full on the Optional Prepayment Date and on each
Payment Date thereafter shall constitute an Event of Default under this
Agreement. However, the failure of Borrower in any month after the Reset
Date to pay items (e) and (f) above, including any Accrued Interest on the
Payment Date in that month, shall not constitute an Event of Default
hereunder unless Borrower has received Rents in that month and applied
those Rents to matters other than the matters listed in clauses (a) through
(f) above, inclusive. All Accrued Interest shall nonetheless be due and
payable on the Maturity Date.
2.2.4 DEFAULT RATE. After the occurrence and during the
continuanceof an Event of Default, the entire outstanding principal balance
of the Loan shall bear interest at the Default Rate, and Lender shall have
the right to accelerate the Maturity Date by declaring the Loan and the
Note immediately due and payable. Payment or acceptance of the increased
rates provided for in this subsection is not a permitted alternative to
timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Default or Event of
Default or an amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan Document and
shall not otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Lender.
2.2.5 PROPERTY CASH FLOW ALLOCATION AFTER AN EVENT OF DEFAULT.
After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default,
Lender shall have the right to obtain any amounts held in the Deposit
Account on demand as provided in the Deposit Account Agreement, and Lender
shall have the right to allocate and apply Rents and any amounts held in
the Deposit Account to payment of such matters in connection with the Loan
as Lender may deem appropriate, including interest due on the Note, the
principal balance of the Note, Approved Capital Expenses, Approved Leasing
Expenses, Approved Operating Expenses, or expenses of collection or other
amounts due under any Loan Document.
2.2.6BUSINESS PURPOSE. The proceeds of the Loan will be used solely
for the purposes specified in Section 205/4, paragraph (1)(c) of Chapter
815 of the Illinois Compiled Statutes, as amended from time to time, and

hereof. Each Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment shall be made on a Payment

precedent:
(i) Borrower shall provide not less than thirty (30) days prior

is the subject of the Defeasance, Borrower shall execute and deliver all
necessary documents to amend and restate the Note and issue two substitute
notes: one having a principal balance equal to the defeased portion of the
original Note (the "Defeased Note") and one note having a principal balance
equal to the undefeased portion of the original Note (the "Undefeased
Note"). The Defeased Note and Undefeased Note shall have identical terms
as the Note, except for the principal balance. A Defeased Note cannot be
the subject of any further Defeasance. The Defeased Note and the
Undefeased Note shall thereafter be included in the definition of "Note"
under this Agreement.
(viii) Borrower shall execute and deliver a security agreement,
in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, creating a first priority
lien on the Defeasance Deposit and the U.S. Obligations purchased with the
Defeasance Deposit in accordance with this provision of this Section 2.3.3
(the "Security Agreement").
(ix) Borrower shall deliver an opinion of counsel for Borrower in
form satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion stating, among other

(x) Lender shall receive evidence in writing from the applicable
Rating Agencies to the effect that such Defeasance will not result in a

immediately prior to such Defeasance for the Securities issued in

(xi) If required by the applicable Rating Agencies, Borrower shall
also deliver or cause to be delivered a non-consolidation opinion with

(b) In connection with each Defeasance of all or any portion of a
Note, Borrower hereby appoints Lender as its agent and attorney-in-fact for
the purpose of using the Defeasance Deposit to purchase U.S. Obligations
(which purchases, if made by Lender, shall be made by Lender on an arms-
length basis at then prevailing market rates) which provide payments on or
prior to, but as close as possible to, (i) in the case of a Defeasance for
the entire outstanding principal balance of a Note, all payments required
under that Note on successive Payment Dates after the Defeasance Date up to
the Optional Prepayment Date, when the entire outstanding balance and all
accrued interest on such Note shall be paid in full; or (ii) in the case of
a Defeasance for only a portion of the outstanding principal balance of a
Note, all payments required under that Defeased Note on successive Payment
Dates after the Defeasance Date up to the Optional Prepayment Date, when
the entire outstanding balance and all accrued interest on such Defeased
Note shall be paid in full (the "Scheduled Defeasance Payments").
Borrower, pursuant to the Security Agreement or other appropriate document,
shall irrevocably authorize and direct that the payments received from the
U.S. Obligations may be made directly to Lender and applied to satisfy the
obligations of Borrower under the Note or the Defeased Note, as applicable.
Any portion of the Defeasance Deposit in excess of the amount necessary to
purchase the U.S. Obligations required by this Section 2.3.3(b) and satisfy
Borrower's obligations under Sections 2.3 or 2.4 shall be remitted to
Borrower. Any amounts received in respect of the U.S. Obligations in
excess of the amounts necessary to make monthly payments pursuant to
Section 2.2 shall be retained by Lender until payment in full of the Loan.
Semi-annual payments in respect of U.S. Obligations shall be applied to
payments under the Note or the Defeased Note, as applicable, as the same
become due thereunder.
(c) If requested by Borrower in connection with any Defeasance
under this Section 2.3.3, NACC shall establish or designate a successor
entity (the "Successor Borrower") and Borrower shall transfer and assign
all obligations, rights and duties under and to the Note or the Defeased
Note, as applicable, together with the pledged U.S. Obligations to such
Successor Borrower. The obligation of NACC to establish or designate a
Successor Borrower shall be retained by NACC notwithstanding the sale or
transfer of this Agreement unless such obligation is specifically assumed
by the transferee. Such Successor Borrower shall assume the obligations
under the Note or the Defeased Note, as applicable, and the Security
Agreement and Borrower shall be relieved of its obligations thereunder.

incurred in connection therewith.

pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property or assets of any
Owner pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan
agreement, operating agreement, partnership agreement, trust agreement or
other agreement or instrument to which an Owner is a party or by which an

are those reflected in the applicable Rent Roll. Except as set forth in
SCHEDULE 1: (i) to the best of Borrower's knowledge, each Lease is in full
force and effect; (ii) the tenants under the Leases have accepted
possession of and are in occupancy of all of their respective demised
premises (except that certain tenants that have recently leased space in
the Parcels owned by Avalon Center have not accepted possession and are not
in occupancy of their respective leased space to the extent the applicable
tenant improvements for such spaces have not yet been completed), have
commenced the payment of rent under such Leases and Borrower has not
received written notice from any tenant of any offsets, claims or defenses
to the enforcement thereof, except to the extent provided in (iv) below;
(iii) all rents due and payable under the Leases have been paid and no
portion thereof has been paid for any period more than thirty (30) days in
advance; (iv) the rent payable under each Lease is the amount of fixed rent
set forth in the Rent Roll and there is no claim or basis for a claim by
the tenant thereunder for an adjustment to the rent, except that those
tenants as have been specified in a written notice delivered from Borrower
to Lender have disputed Borrower's calculations of real estate tax and
common area maintenance contributions; (v) no tenant has made any claim
against the landlord under the Leases which remains outstanding (except to
the extent provided in (iv) above) and there are no defaults in any
material respect on the part of the landlord under any Lease and to the
best of Borrower's knowledge, no event has occurred which, with the giving
of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute such default; (vi)
to the best of Borrower's knowledge, there is no present monetary default
or material non-monetary default by any tenant under any Lease; and (vii)
none of the Leases contains any option to purchase or right of first
refusal to purchase the Property or any part thereof. The Leases have not
been assigned or pledged except to Lender, and no other person whatsoever
has any interest therein except the tenants thereunder and persons claiming
by, through, or under the tenants.

Lender in connection with this Agreement does not fail to reflect any
material matter affecting that Parcel or the title thereto.

be paid from the disbursement of the Loan at the Closing Date, and, under
current Legal Requirements, the Mortgages are enforceable against the

insolvency, bankruptcy, moratorium or other laws affecting creditor's
remedies in general and principles of equity.

(v) None of the Owners has made or will make any advances to any

business.
(vi) Each Owner is and will remain solvent and will pay its debts

(vii)Each Owner that is a limited liability company has done or

Owner's existence as a single purpose entity; provided that the foregoing

obligations reasonably foreseeable in a business of its size and character

directly by the Managing Member.
(xvii) The charter of the Managing Member shall at all times
have at least one duly appointed member of its board of directors (an
"Independent Director") reasonably satisfactory to Lender who shall not
have been at the time of such individual's appointment, and may not have
been at any time during the preceding five years (i) a shareholder of, or
an officer or employee of, Borrower or any of its shareholders,

or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the
management and policies of a person or entity, whether through ownership of
voting securities, by contract or otherwise. Upon the disassociation or
withdrawal of the Managing Member from an Owner, the Owner shall appoint a
new Managing Member and deliver an acceptable non-consolidation opinion to
Lender and to any applicable rating agency concerning, as applicable, the
new Managing Member and its owners.
(xviii) Each Owner that is a business trust shall at all times
have one duly appointed trustee (referred to herein as an "Independent
Trustee") reasonably satisfactory to Lender who shall either be a

shall be an individual who shall not have been at the time of such
individual's appointment, and may not have been at any time during the
preceding five years (i) a shareholder of, or an officer or employee of,
Borrower or any of its shareholders, subsidiaries or affiliates, (ii) a
customer of, or supplier to, Borrower or any of its shareholders,
subsidiaries or affiliates, (iii) a person or other entity controlling any
such shareholder, supplier or customer, or (iv) a member of the immediate
family of any such shareholder, officer, employee, supplier or customer of
any other trustee of the Owner. As used herein, the term "control" means
the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the
direction of the management and policies of a person or entity, whether
through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.
(xix)The board of directors of the Managing Member and the board of
directors of the Independent Trustee shall not take any action which, under
the terms of the Articles of Incorporation or ByLaws of the Managing
Member, requires the unanimous vote of the board of directors of the
Managing Member unless at the time of such action there shall be at least
one director who is an Independent Director.
(xx) Each Owner shall conduct its business so that the assumptions
made with respect to such Owner in that certain substantive consolidation
opinion letter delivered by Borrower's counsel in connection with the Loan
shall be true and correct in all respects.
(xxi)None of the Owners will, without the consent of all members
(including that of the Managing Member, which in turn requires the vote of
an Independent Director) or the consent of the sole Trustee, in the case of
a business trust Owner: (i) file or consent to the filing of any
bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization case or proceeding; (ii)
institute any proceedings under any applicable insolvency law or otherwise
seek any relief under any laws relating to the relief from debts or the
protection of debtors generally; (iii) seek or consent to the appointment
of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator, custodian or
any similar official for the Borrower or a substantial portion of its

foregoing.
(ee) INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT. None of the Owners is: (i) an
"investment company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment company,"
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; (ii)
a "holding company" or a "subsidiary company" of a "holding company" or an
"affiliate" of either a "holding company" or a "subsidiary company" within
the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended;
or (iii) subject to any other federal or state law or regulation which
purports to restrict or regulate its ability to borrow money.
(ff) FRAUDULENT TRANSFER. None of the Owners has entered into the
Loan or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or
defraud any creditor. Each Owner has received reasonably equivalent value
in exchange for its agreement to pledge its respective portion of the
Property as collateral for the Loan and in exchange for its obligations
under the Loan Documents. Giving effect to the transactions contemplated
by the Loan Documents, the fair saleable value of Borrower's assets equals
or exceeds and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of
the Loan Documents, exceed Borrower's total liabilities, including
subordinated, unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities. The fair
saleable value of Borrower's total assets is and will, immediately
following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, be greater than
Borrower's probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its
contingent liabilities or its debts as such debts become absolute and
matured. Borrower's assets do not and, immediately following the execution
and delivery of the Loan Documents 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 debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other
commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking
into account the timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of
obligations of Borrower).
(gg) MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT. Each Management Agreement is in full
force and effect and there is no default, breach or violation existing
thereunder by any party thereto and no event has occurred (other than
payments due but not yet delinquent) that, with the passage of time or the
giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default, breach or violation
by any party thereunder. Neither the execution and delivery of the Loan
Documents, Borrower's performance thereunder, the recordation of the
Mortgages, nor the exercise of any remedies by Lender, will adversely
affect Borrower's rights under any Management Agreement.
Section 4.2 SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS. Borrower agrees that all
of the representations and warranties of Borrower set forth in Section 4.1
and elsewhere in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents shall
survive for so long as any amount remains owing to Lender under this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by Borrower. All
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made in this
Agreement or in the other Loan Documents by Borrower shall be deemed to
have been relied upon by Lender notwithstanding any investigation
heretofore or hereafter made by Lender or on its behalf.
ARTICLE V. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

Section 5.1 BORROWER COVENANTS. From the date hereof and until
payment and performance in full of all obligations of Borrower under the
Loan Documents or the earlier release of the Lien of the Mortgages (and all
related obligations) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender
that:
(a) EXISTENCE; COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS; INSURANCE. Each
Owner shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew

the Property. Each Owner shall at all times maintain, preserve and protect
all franchises and trade names and preserve all the remainder of its
property used or useful in the conduct of its business and shall keep the

Property or any part thereof as the same become due and payable, except for
those Taxes and Other Charges for which a valid extension for payment has
been duly filed and payment of such Taxes and Other Charges is not required
until the extended deadline (or if payment is required earlier, such
payment has been made). Borrower will deliver to Lender receipts for
payment or other evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes and Other
Charges have been so paid or are not then delinquent on or prior to the
date on which the Taxes and/or Other Charges would otherwise be delinquent
if not paid (provided, however, that Borrower is not required to furnish
such receipts for payment of Taxes in the event that such Taxes have been
paid by Lender pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof). Borrower shall not suffer
and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any lien or charge
whatsoever which may be or become a lien or charge against the Property,
and shall promptly pay for or cause to be paid for all utility services
provided to the Property for which Borrower is responsible. After prior
written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by
appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good
faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in
whole or in part of any Taxes or Other Charges, provided that (i) no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured, (ii) such
proceeding shall suspend the collection of the Taxes or Other Charges from
the Property, (iii) 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,
(iv) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be
in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, canceled or lost, (v)
Borrower shall have furnished such security as may be required in the
proceeding, or as may be requested by Lender, to insure the payment of any
such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all interest and penalties
thereon; and (vi) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof
pay the amount of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all costs,
interest and penalties which may be payable in connection therewith.
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.
(c) LITIGATION. Borrower shall give prompt written notice to
Lender of any litigation or governmental proceedings pending or threatened
against any Owner which might materially adversely affect Borrower's
condition (financial or otherwise) or business or the Property.
(d) PREMISES. Borrower shall permit agents, representatives and
employees of Lender to inspect the Property or any part thereof at
reasonable hours upon reasonable advance notice.
(e) NOTICE OF DEFAULT. Borrower shall promptly advise Lender of
any material adverse change in any Owner's condition, financial or
otherwise, or of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default of which
Borrower has knowledge.
(f) COOPERATE IN LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. Borrower shall cooperate fully
with Lender with respect to any proceedings before any court, board or
other Governmental Authority which may in any way affect the rights of
Lender hereunder or any rights obtained by Lender under any of the other
Loan Documents and, in connection therewith, permit Lender, at its
election, to participate in any such proceedings.
(g) PERFORM LOAN DOCUMENTS. Borrower shall observe, perform and
satisfy all the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of, and shall
pay when due all costs, fees and expenses to the extent required under the
Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower.

obtaining for Lender the benefits of any Insurance Proceeds lawfully or
equitably payable in connection with the Property, and Lender shall be
reimbursed for any reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith

an appraisal on behalf of Lender in case of a fire or other casualty
affecting the Property or any part thereof) out of such Insurance Proceeds.
(i) FURTHER ASSURANCES. Borrower shall, at Borrower's sole cost
and expense:
(A) furnish to Lender all instruments, documents, boundary
surveys, footing or foundation surveys, certificates, plans and
specifications, appraisals, title and other insurance reports and
agreements, and each and every other document, certificate, agreement and
instrument required to be furnished by it pursuant to the terms of the Loan
Documents or reasonably requested by Lender in connection therewith;
(B) execute and deliver to Lender such documents,
instruments, certificates, assignments and other writings, and do such
other acts necessary or desirable, to evidence, preserve and/or protect the
collateral at any time securing or intended to secure its obligations under
the Loan Documents, as Lender may reasonably require; and
(C) do and execute all and such further lawful and reasonable
acts, conveyances and assurances for the better and more effective carrying
out of the intents and purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, as Lender shall reasonably require from time to time.
(j) SUPPLEMENTAL MORTGAGE AFFIDAVITS. As of the date hereof,
Borrower represents that it has paid all state, county and municipal
recording and all other taxes imposed upon the execution and recordation of
the Mortgages. If at any time Lender determines, based on applicable law,
that Lender is not being afforded the maximum amount of security available
from the Property as a direct or indirect result of applicable taxes not
having been paid with respect to the Property, Borrower agrees that
Borrower will execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lender, immediately upon
Lender's request, supplemental affidavits correctly stating the amount of
the Debt, and Borrower shall, on demand, pay any additional taxes required
to be paid with respect to the Mortgages.
(k) FINANCIAL REPORTING.
(i) Borrower will keep and maintain or will cause to be kept
and maintained on a Fiscal Year basis, in accordance with GAAP, proper and
accurate books, records and accounts reflecting all of the financial
affairs of Banyan and Borrower and all items of income and expense in
connection with the operation of the Property and in connection with any
services, equipment or furnishings provided in connection with the
operation of the Property, whether such income or expense be realized by
Borrower or by any other Person whatsoever, excepting lessees unrelated to
and unaffiliated with Borrower who have leased from Borrower portions of
the Property for the purpose of occupying the same. Lender shall have the

reasonable notice (which notice may be simultaneous and telephonic) to

other Person maintaining such books, records and accounts and to make such
copies or extracts thereof as Lender shall desire. After the occurrence of

Lender to examine Banyan's and Borrower's accounting records with respect
to the Property, as Lender shall determine to be necessary or appropriate
in the protection of Lender's interest.
(ii) Borrower will furnish to Lender annually, within one
hundred five (105) days following the end of each Fiscal Year of each
Owner, a complete copy of Banyan's annual consolidated financial statements

public accountant reasonably acceptable to Lender in accordance with GAAP
covering Banyan (including each Owner and all other subsidiaries of Banyan)
for such Fiscal Year and containing balance sheets and statements of profit
and loss for Banyan in such detail as Lender may request. Such statements
shall set forth the financial condition and the income and expenses for
Banyan for the immediately preceding calendar year, including statements of
annual Net Operating Income. Banyan's annual financial statements shall be
accompanied by an Officer's Certificate certifying that each such annual
financial statement presents fairly the financial condition of Banyan (and

to remedy the same, and (y) that the representations and warranties of
Borrower set forth in Section 4.1(dd) are true and correct.
(iii)Borrower will furnish, or cause to be furnished, to
Lender on or before forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar

by the Lender, in each case accompanied by an Officer's Certificate
certifying to the best of such officer's knowledge, that such items are

(v) Borrower shall furnish to Lender, within ten (10)
Business Days after request, such further detailed information with respect

and expenses and the actual income and expenses for each requested period
and year to date for the Property together with a detailed explanation of
any variances of ten percent (10%) or more between budgeted and actual
amounts for such requested period and year to date. The financial
statements, certificates, reports or information required to be furnished
to Lender or its designee by this Section 5.1(k) are referred to as the
"Required Records." If Borrower fails to provide to Lender or its designee

Required Record is due, and if Lender has given at least fifteen (15) days
prior written notice to Borrower of such failure by Borrower to timely
submit the applicable Required Record, then: (y) if such failure is not the
result of willful misconduct or gross negligence, then Borrower shall pay
to Lender, at Lender's option and in its sole discretion, an amount equal
to Five Hundred Dollars ($500) for each Required Record that is not
delivered; or (z) if such failure is the result of willful misconduct or
gross negligence, then Lender shall direct the Deposit Bank to make no

(1) time in any calendar year), Borrower shall within ten (10) days furnish

requested by Lender or, to the extent of any changes to any such
representations and warranties, so stating such changes.
(iii)After request by Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender
tenant estoppel certificates from each tenant at the Property in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender provided that Borrower shall
not be required to deliver such certificates more frequently than one (1)
time in any calendar year or more frequently than may be permitted by the

(p) LOAN PROCEEDS. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan
received by it on the Closing Date only for the purposes set forth in Sec-
tion 2.1.4.
(q) PERFORMANCE BY BORROWER. Borrower shall in a timely manner

each Loan Document executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower,

executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower without the prior
written consent of Lender.
(r) ANNUAL BUDGET. Borrower shall prepare and submit (or shall
cause Manager to prepare and submit) to Lender by December 15 of each year
during the Term a proposed pro forma budget for the Property during the
succeeding fiscal year commencing January 1 and ending December 31 (the
"Annual Budget") and, promptly after preparation thereof, any subsequent
revisions to such Annual Budget. The Annual Budget shall consist of (a) an
operating expense budget (the "Operating Budget") showing, on a
month-by-month basis, in reasonable detail, each line item of the
Borrower's anticipated income and Operating Expenses (on an accrual basis),
including amounts required to establish, maintain and/or increase reserves,
and (b) a Capital Expense Budget (the "Capital Budget") showing, on an
annual basis, in reasonable detail, each line item of anticipated Capital

Budget shall be subject to Lender's approval, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. Lender's failure to approve or
disapprove any Capital Budget within thirty (30) days after Lender's
receipt thereof shall be deemed to constitute Lender's approval thereof.
Following the Optional Prepayment Date, the Operating Budget shall be
subject to Lender's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. Lender's failure to approve or disapprove any
Operating Budget within thirty (30) days after Lender's receipt thereof
shall be deemed to constitute Lender's approval thereof. Following the
Optional Prepayment Date, Borrower shall make no expenditure related to the
Property in excess of one hundred five percent (105%) of the amount
budgeted for that expenditure without Lender's prior approval, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(s) CONFIRMATION OF REPRESENTATIONS. In addition to and not in
limitation of the covenants and agreements of Borrower contained in Sec-
tion 7.1, Borrower shall deliver, in connection with any Secondary Market
Transaction, and not more than two (2) times in any calendar year, (i) one
or more Officer's Certificates certifying as to the accuracy of all
representations made by Borrower in the Loan Documents as of the date of
the closing of such Secondary Market Transaction in all relevant
jurisdictions, and (ii) certificates of the relevant Governmental
Authorities in all relevant jurisdictions indicating the good standing and
qualification of Borrower as of the date of the Secondary Market
Transaction.
(t) NO JOINT ASSESSMENT. Borrower shall not suffer, permit or
initiate the joint assessment of the Property (i) with any other real
property constituting a tax lot separate from the Property, and (ii) with
any portion of the Property which may be deemed to constitute personal
property, or any other procedure whereby the lien of any taxes which may be
levied against such personal property shall be assessed or levied or
charged to the Property.
(u) LEASING MATTERS. Borrower shall not, without Lender's prior
written consent, enter into, modify, amend or renew any Lease of space
located in any Parcel for which annual rental exceeds $100,000 (a "Major
Lease") except in accordance with leasing parameters approved by Lender
from time to time; provided, however, that so long as at the time that
Borrower desires to enter into, modify, amend or renew any Lease, the Debt
Service Coverage Ratio (which for purposes of this subsection (u) shall be
calculated by using a definition of Operating Expenses that does not
include the adjustments described in the last grammatical paragraph of the
definition of "Operating Expenses," but rather includes a fixed adjustment
of $1,263,395) for the Property is equal to or greater than 1.65 to 1.0,
Lender's consent to any such Lease, modification, amendment or renewal
shall not be required, other than the initial Lease or Leases of the
Colonial Penn space at the Fountain Square Parcel, which initial Lease or
Leases are the first Leases made of that space after it is vacated by
Colonial Penn ("Initial CP Leases"). Any Initial CP Lease shall be subject
to Lender's approval, regardless of the level of the Debt Service Coverage
Ratio for the Property. Lender's failure to approve or disapprove any
proposed Lease, modification, amendment or renewal for which Lender's
approval is required within five (5) business days after Lender's receipt
thereof shall be deemed to constitute Lender's approval thereof. Upon
request, Borrower shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Leases,
and modifications, amendments or renewals thereof. All proposed Leases
shall be on commercially reasonable terms and shall not contain any terms
which would materially adversely affect Lender's rights under the Loan
Documents. All Leases executed after the date hereof shall provide that
they are subordinate to the Mortgage encumbering the applicable portion of
the Property and that the lessee agrees to attorn to Lender. Borrower (i)
shall observe and perform in all material respects the obligations imposed
upon the lessor under the Leases; (ii) shall enforce the terms, covenants
and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the lessee
thereunder to be observed or performed, except to the extent that any such
non-enforcement by an Owner is the result of such Owner acting in the
ordinary course of business as a prudent operator of property similar to
the applicable Parcel; (iii) shall not collect any of the rents more than
one (1) month in advance (other than security deposits); (iv) shall not
execute any other assignment of lessor's interest in the Leases or the
Rents (except as contemplated by the Loan Documents); (v) shall not alter,
modify or change the terms of the Leases in a manner inconsistent with the
provisions of the Loan Documents; and (vi) shall execute and deliver at the
request of Lender all such further assurances, confirmations and
assignments in connection with the Leases as Lender shall from time to time
reasonably require.
(v) PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS. Borrower shall not change its
principal place of business set forth on the first page of this Agreement
without first giving Lender thirty (30) days prior written notice.
(w) MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT. Borrower shall cause each Parcel to be
operated pursuant to the Management Agreement applicable thereto. Borrower
shall:
(i) promptly perform and/or observe in all material respects
all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed and observed
by it under each Management Agreement and do all things necessary to
preserve and to keep unimpaired its material rights thereunder;
(ii) promptly notify Lender of any default under any Management
Agreement of which it is aware; and
(iii)promptly enforce the performance and observance in all
material respects of all of the covenants and agreements required to be
performed and/or observed by the Manager under each Management Agreement.
ARTICLE VI. NEGATIVE COVENANTS
-------------------------------
Section 6.1 BORROWER'S NEGATIVE COVENANTS. From the date hereof
until payment and performance in full of all obligations of Borrower under
the Loan Documents or the earlier release of the Liens of the Mortgages in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender that it will not do, directly or
indirectly, any of the following:
(a) OPERATION OF PROPERTIES. Borrower shall not, without Lender's
prior consent: (i) surrender, terminate or cancel the Management Agreement
or otherwise replace the Manager of any Parcel or enter into any other
management agreements with respect to the Property (except pursuant to
Section 9.5); provided, however that so long as no Event of Default then
exists, Borrower shall have the right to surrender, terminate or cancel any
Management Agreement or otherwise replace any Manager so long as the fee
payable to the replacement Manager is not greater than 5% of the gross
rents payable to the Owner of the applicable Parcel and the replacement
Manager executes and delivers to Lender a consent agreement in form and
substance substantially identical to the one theretofore furnished by the
Manager being replaced; (ii) reduce or consent to the reduction of the term
of the Management Agreement, except to the extent that any Owner is acting
in the ordinary course of business as a prudent operator of property
similar to the applicable Parcel; (iii) increase or consent to the increase
of the amount of any charges under the Management Agreement which would
result in the management fee payable to any Manager exceeding 5% of the
gross rents payable to the Manager of the applicable Parcel; or
(iv) otherwise modify, change, supplement, alter or amend, or waive or
release any of its rights and remedies under the Management Agreement in
any material respect, except to the extent that any Owner is acting in the
ordinary course of business as a prudent operator of property similar to
the applicable Parcel. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided
in this Agreement or in any Loan Document, Lender shall not unreasonably
withhold its consent to a request that Borrower shall pay a third party
Manager, which shall not be an Affiliate of Borrower, a management fee in
excess of 5% of the gross rents of a Parcel if the fee paid to the third
party Manager is reasonably determined by Lender to be a market rate fee
and if the portion of such fee which exceeds 5% of the gross rents from a
Parcel consists of incentive payments.
(b) LIENS. Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent
of Lender, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any portion
of any of the Property or permit any such action to be taken, except (i)
Permitted Encumbrances, (ii) Liens created by or permitted pursuant to the
Loan Documents and (iii) Liens for Taxes or Other Charges not yet due.
(c) DISSOLUTION. Neither Managing Member nor any Owner shall
dissolve, terminate, liquidate, merge with or consolidate into another
Person, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any Owner that no
longer owns title to a Parcel that is encumbered by the Mortgages, by
reason of a full defeasance of the Note pursuant to Section 2.4.1 above, a
partial release having been issued with respect to such Parcel pursuant to
Section 2.4.3 above or such Parcel having become a Replaced Parcel pursuant
to Section 2.4.4 above.
(d) CHANGE IN BUSINESS. None of the Owners shall enter into any
line of business other than the ownership and operation of the Property, or
make any material change in the scope or nature of its business objectives,
purposes or operations, or undertake or participate in activities other
than the continuance of its present business.
(e) DEBT CANCELLATION. None of the Owners shall cancel or
otherwise forgive or release any claim or debt owed to such Owner by any
Person, except for adequate consideration and in the ordinary course of
Borrower's business in its reasonable judgment.
(f) AFFILIATE TRANSACTIONS. Except for loans made from Banyan in
the ordinary course of Banyan's business to any Owner for the payment of
customary and ordinary Operating Expenses and Capital Expenses advanced by
Banyan on behalf of such Owner, none of the Owners shall enter into, or be
a party to, any transaction with an Affiliate of an Owner or any of the
members of an Owner except in the ordinary course of business and on terms
which are fully disclosed to Lender in advance and are no less favorable to
the Owner or such Affiliate than would be obtained in a comparable
arm's-length transaction with an unrelated third party.
(g) ZONING. None of the Owners shall initiate or consent to any
zoning reclassification of any portion of any of the Property or seek any
variance under any existing zoning ordinance or use or permit the use of
any portion of any of the Property in any manner that could result in such
use becoming a non-conforming use under any zoning ordinance or any other
applicable land use law, rule or regulation, without the prior consent of
Lender.
(h) ASSETS. None of the Owners shall purchase or own any
properties other than the Property.
(i) DEBT. None of the Owners shall create, incur or assume any
debt other than the Debt and other than Permitted Indebtedness.
(j) TRANSFERS. None of the Owners shall, without the prior written
consent of Lender, cause, participate in, suffer or permit the sale,
mortgage, option, assignment or transfer of or conveyance of any interest
in any of the following (a "Transfer"), unless such Transfer otherwise
would qualify as a Permitted Transfer: (i) all or any part of the Property;
YAN\ any direct interest in an Owner; or (iii) any direct interest in the
Managing Member.
(k) PERMITTED TRANSFERS. Each of the following Transfers is
referred to herein as a "Permitted Transfer":
(i) Any transfer of an interest in an Owner shall be a
Permitted Transfer if the following conditions are satisfied: (A) the
interest is not the interest owned by the Managing Member in Owner or any
interest in the Managing Member; (B) the amount of interests in an Owner
transferred in reliance on this exception shall not exceed forty nine and
ninety nine hundredths percent (49.99%) in the aggregate; (C) no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of any such proposed
transfer; and (D) if as a result of a transfer otherwise permitted under
this paragraph, any one individual either directly or indirectly owns in
the aggregate greater than forty nine and ninety nine hundredths percent
(49.99%) of the interests in any Owner, then Borrower must provide a
substantive consolidation opinion of counsel addressing such transfer which
opinion must be acceptable to the Rating Agencies.
(ii) Any Lease permitted under Section 5.1(u) of this
Agreement.
(iii)Any Transfer of a Parcel if in connection therewith a
partial release is issued by Lender with respect to such Parcel pursuant to
Section 2.4.3 above or such Parcel becomes a Replaced Parcel pursuant to
Section 2.4.4 above.

to the Property under said program, whichever is less.
(ii) Comprehensive public liability insurance, including broad
form property damage, blanket contractual and personal injuries (including

including all legal liability imposed upon Borrower and all court costs and
attorneys' fees incurred in connection with the ownership, operation and
maintenance of the Property.
(iii)Rental loss and/or business interruption insurance in an

operations of the Property for the next succeeding twelve (12) month period
or (B) the projected operating expenses (including debt service) for the
maintenance and operation of the Property for the next succeeding twelve
(12) month period. The amount of such insurance shall be increased from
time to time during the Term as and when the Rents increase or the estimate
of (or the actual) gross revenue, as may be applicable, increases.
(iv) Insurance against loss or damage from (A) leakage of
sprinkler systems and (B) explosion of steam boilers, air conditioning
equipment, high pressure piping, machinery and equipment, pressure vessels

(vii)Coverage to compensate for the cost of demolition and the
increased cost of construction for the Property in an amount satisfactory
to Lender.
(viii) Such other insurance, including earthquake

order to protect its interests.
(c) All policies of insurance (the "Policies") required pursuant to
this Section 7.1.1 (i) shall be issued by companies approved by Lender and
licensed to do business in the State, with a minimum claims paying ability
rating of "Aq" by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group or "AX" by Best's, except
that for any earthquake insurance, a minimum claims paying ability rating
of "BBB" by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group is acceptable; (ii) shall name
Lender and its successors and/or assigns as their interest may appear as

naming Lender as the person to which all payments made by such insurance
company shall be paid; (iv) shall contain a waiver of subrogation against
Lender; (v) shall be maintained throughout the Term without cost to Lender;
(vi) shall be assigned and the originals thereof delivered to Lender; (vii)

written notice of any modification, reduction or cancellation of any of the
Policies; and (viii) shall be satisfactory in form and substance to Lender
and shall be approved by Lender as to amounts, form, risk coverage,
deductibles, loss payees and insureds. Borrower shall pay the premiums for
such Policies (the "Insurance Premiums") as the same become due and payable
and shall furnish to Lender evidence of the renewal of each of the Policies
with receipts for the payment of the Insurance Premiums or other evidence
of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender (provided, however, that
Borrower is not required to furnish such evidence of payment to Lender if
such Insurance Premiums have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 7.3
hereof). If Borrower does not furnish such evidence and receipts at least
thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any expiring Policy, then
Lender may procure, but shall not be obligated to procure, such insurance
and pay the Insurance Premiums therefor, and Borrower agrees to reimburse
Lender for the cost of such Insurance Premiums promptly on demand. Within
thirty (30) days after request by Lender, Borrower shall obtain such
increases in the amounts of coverage required hereunder as may be
reasonably requested by Lender, taking into consideration changes in the
value of money over time, changes in liability laws, changes in prudent
customs and practices, and the like.
(d) If any portion of the Property is damaged or destroyed, in
whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (an "Insured Casualty"),
Borrower shall give prompt notice thereof to Lender. Following the
occurrence of an Insured Casualty, Borrower, regardless of whether
insurance proceeds are available, shall promptly proceed to restore,
repair, replace or rebuild the affected Parcel to be of at least equal
value and of substantially the same character as prior to such damage or
destruction, all to be effected in accordance with Legal Requirements. The
expenses incurred by Lender in the adjustment and collection of insurance
proceeds shall become part of the Debt and be secured hereby and shall be
reimbursed by Borrower to Lender upon demand.
7.1.2 CASUALTY AND APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS.
(a) In case of loss or damages covered by any of the Policies, the
following provisions shall apply:
(may settle and adjust any claim without the consent of Lender; provided
that such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner. In
such case, Borrower is hereby authorized to collect and receipt for any
such insurance proceeds.
(ii) If an Insured Casualty shall exceed $100,000, Borrower
may settle and adjust such claim with Lender's consent, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that such settlement and
adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner), and Borrower
may agree (subject to such consent by Lender) with the insurance company or
companies on the amount to be paid on the loss; provided, however that if
at the time of the Insured Casualty an Event of Default then exists, Lender
may settle and adjust any claim without the consent of Borrower and agree
with the insurance company or companies on the amount to be paid on the
loss. In any event described in this subparagraph (ii), the proceeds of
any such policy shall be due and payable solely to Lender and held in
escrow by Lender in accordance with the terms hereof.
(b) In the event of an Insured Casualty where the loss is in an
aggregate amount less than $1,000,000, and if, in the reasonable judgment
of Lender, the Property can be restored within twelve (12) months and prior
to the maturity of the Note to an economic unit not less valuable and not
less useful than the same was prior to the Insured Casualty, and after such
restoration will adequately secure the Debt, then, if no Default or Event
of Default shall have occurred and be then continuing, the proceeds of
insurance (after reimbursement of any expenses incurred by Lender) shall be
applied to reimburse Borrower for the cost of restoring, repairing,
replacing or rebuilding the Parcel or part thereof subject to the Insured
Casualty (the "Restoration"), in the manner set forth herein. Borrower
hereby covenants and agrees to commence and diligently to prosecute such
Restoration; provided that (i) Borrower shall pay all costs (and if
required by Lender, Borrower shall deposit the total thereof with Lender in
advance) of such Restoration in excess of the net proceeds of insurance
made available pursuant to the terms hereof; (ii) the Restoration shall be
done in compliance with all Legal Requirements; and (iii) Lender shall have
received evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that, during the period of
the Restoration, the sum of (A) income derived from the Property, as
reasonably determined by Lender, plus (B) proceeds of rent loss insurance
or business interruption insurance, if any, to be paid will equal or exceed
the sum of (I) expenses in connection with the operation of the Property
and (II) the debt service on the Loan.
(c) Except as provided above, the proceeds of insurance collected
upon any Insured Casualty ("Insurance Proceeds") shall, at the option of
Lender in its sole discretion, be applied to the payment of the Debt or
applied to reimburse Borrower for the cost of any Restoration, in the
manner set forth below. Any application of Insurance Proceeds to the Debt
shall include any applicable Casualty Return-of-Amount. Any such
application to the Debt shall be without any prepayment consideration,
other than payment of any applicable Return-of-Amount, except that if an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time the insurance
proceeds are received, then Borrower shall pay to Lender an additional
amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium, if any, that would be
required under Section 2.3.3 hereof if a Defeasance Deposit was to be made
by Borrower. Any such application to the Debt shall be applied to those
payments of principal and interest last due under the Note but shall not
postpone or reduce any payments otherwise required pursuant to the Note
other than such last due payments.
(d) If Borrower is entitled to reimbursement out of insurance
proceeds held by Lender, such proceeds shall be deposited by Lender into
the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount and disbursed from time to time from
the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount upon Lender being furnished with (1)
evidence satisfactory to it of the estimated cost of completion of the
Restoration, (2) funds or, at Lender's option, assurances satisfactory to
Lender that such funds are available, sufficient in addition to the
proceeds of insurance to complete the proposed Restoration, (3) such
architect's certificates, waivers of lien, contractor's sworn statements,
title insurance endorsements, bonds, plats of survey and such other
evidences of cost, payment and performance as Lender may reasonably require
and approve, and (4) all plans and specifications for such Restoration,
such plans and specifications to be approved by Lender prior to
commencement of any work. In addition, no payment made prior to the final
completion of the Restoration shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the
value of the work performed from time to time; funds other than proceeds of
insurance shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such proceeds; and at
all times, the undisbursed balance of such proceeds remaining in the hands
of Lender, together with funds deposited for that purpose or irrevocably
committed to the satisfaction of Lender by or on behalf of Borrower for
that purpose, shall be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of
Lender to pay for the cost of completion of the Restoration, free and clear
of all liens or claims for lien. Any surplus which may remain out of
insurance proceeds held by Lender after payment of such costs of
Restoration shall be paid to Borrower.
7.1.3 CONDEMNATION.
(a) Borrower shall promptly give Lender written notice of the
actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain
proceeding affecting the Property (a "Condemnation") and shall deliver to
Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such
Condemnation. Following the occurrence of a Condemnation, Borrower,
regardless of whether an Award is available, shall promptly proceed to
restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property to the extent practicable
to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as
prior to such Condemnation, all to be effected in accordance with Legal
Requirements.
(b) Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower's attorney-
in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect, receive
and retain any award or payment in respect of a Condemnation (an "Award")
and to make any compromise or settlement in connection with such
Condemnation, subject to the provisions of this Section. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, (i) if an Award is reasonably expected not to exceed
$100,000, Borrower may compromise and settle any such Award without the
consent of Lender; provided that such compromise and settlement is carried
out in a competent and timely manner, and (ii) if an Award is reasonably
expected to exceed $100,000, Borrower may compromise and settle such Award
with Lender's consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed
(provided that such compromise and settlement is carried out in a competent
and timely manner); provided, however, that if at the time of the
Condemnation an Event of Default then exists, Lender may settle and
compromise any Award without the consent of Borrower. Notwithstanding any
Condemnation by any public or quasi-public authority (including any
transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of such a Condemnation),
Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner
provided for in the Note, in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
and the Debt shall not be reduced unless and until any Award shall have
been actually received and applied by Lender to expenses of collecting the
Award and to discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the
interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be
entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided
in the Note. Borrower shall cause any Award that is payable to Borrower to
be paid directly to Lender.
(c) In the event of any Condemnation where the Award is in an
aggregate amount less than $1,000,000, and if, in the reasonable judgment
of Lender, the Property can be restored within twelve (12) months and prior
to maturity of the Note to an economic unit not less valuable and not less
useful than the same was prior to the Condemnation, and after such
restoration will adequately secure the Debt, then, if no Default or Event
of Default shall have occurred and be then continuing, the proceeds of the
Award (after reimbursement of any expenses incurred by Lender) shall be
applied to reimburse Borrower for the cost of restoring, repairing,
replacing or rebuilding the Property or part thereof subject to
Condemnation (the "Condemnation Restoration") in the manner set forth
below. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees to commence and diligently to
prosecute such Condemnation Restoration; provided that (i) Borrower shall
pay all costs (and if required by Lender, Borrower shall deposit the total
thereof with Lender in advance) of such Condemnation Restoration in excess
of the Award made available pursuant to the terms hereof; (ii) the
Condemnation Restoration shall be done in compliance with all Legal
Requirements; and (iii) Lender shall have received evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it that, during the period of the Condemnation Restoration,
the sum of (A) income derived from the Property, as reasonably determined
by Lender, plus (B) proceeds of rent loss insurance or business
interruption insurance, if any, to be paid will equal or exceed the sum of
(I) expenses in connection with the operation of the Property and (II) the
debt service on the Loan.
(d) Except as provided above, the Award collected upon any
Condemnation shall, at the option of Lender in its sole discretion, be
applied to the payment of the Debt or applied to reimburse Borrower for the
cost of the Condemnation Restoration in the manner set forth below. Any
application of an Award to the Debt shall be accompanied by the applicable
Condemnation Return-of-Amount. Any such application to the Debt shall be
without any prepayment consideration, other than any applicable Return-of-
Amount, except that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
at the time the Award is received, then Borrower shall pay to Lender an
additional amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium, if any, that
would be required under Section 2.3.3 hereof if a Defeasance Deposit was to
be made by Borrower. Any such application to the Debt shall be applied to
those payments of principal and interest last due under the Note but shall
not postpone or reduce any payments otherwise required pursuant to the Note
other than such last due payments. If the Property is sold, through
foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of such Award,
Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the
Note shall be recoverable or shall have been sought, recovered or denied,
to receive all or a portion of said Award sufficient to pay the Debt.
(e) In the event Borrower is entitled to reimbursement out of the
Award received by Lender, such proceeds shall be disbursed from time to
time upon Lender being furnished with (1) evidence satisfactory to it of
the estimated cost of completion of the Condemnation Restoration, (2) funds
or, at Lender's option, assurances satisfactory to Lender that such funds
are available, sufficient in addition to the proceeds of the Award to
complete the Condemnation Restoration, (3) such architect's certificates,
waivers of lien, contractor's sworn statements, title insurance
endorsements, bonds, plats of survey and such other evidences of costs,
payment and performance as Lender may reasonably require and approve; and
(4) all plans and specifications for such Condemnation Restoration, such
plans and specifications to be approved by Lender prior to commencement of
work. In addition: (i) no payment made prior to the final completion of
the restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding shall exceed ninety
percent (90%) of the value of the work performed from time to time; (ii)
funds other than proceeds of the Award shall be disbursed prior to
disbursement of such proceeds; and (iii) at all times, the undisbursed
balance of such proceeds remaining in the hands of Lender, together with
funds deposited for that purpose or irrevocably committed to the
satisfaction of Lender by or on behalf of Borrower for that purpose, shall
be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of Lender to pay for the
costs of completion of the Condemnation Restoration free and clear of all
liens or claims for lien. Any surplus which may remain out of the Award
received by Lender after payment of such costs of restoration, repair,
replacement or rebuilding and after payment to the Borrower of any
remaining amounts which were deposited pursuant to clause (2) above shall,
in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender, be retained by Lender and
applied to payment of the Debt.
Section 7.2 REQUIRED REPAIR; REQUIRED REPAIR FUNDS.
7.2.1 REQUIRED REPAIRS: DEPOSITS. Borrower shall perform the
repairs at the Property set forth on SCHEDULE 2 annexed hereto (the
"Required Repairs"). Borrower shall complete each of the Required Repairs
on or before the deadline for same set forth on SCHEDULE 2. On the Closing
Date, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the amount set forth on SCHEDULE 2
hereto to perform the Required Repairs for the Property. Amounts so
deposited with Lender (the "Required Repair Fund") shall be held by Lender
in an account (the "Required Repair Account") in Lender's name at a
financial institution selected by Lender in its sole discretion and shall
be invested in Permitted Investments.
7.2.2 GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. Borrower hereby pledges, assigns
and grants a security interest to Lender, as security for payment of all
sums due in respect of the Loan and the performance of all other terms,
conditions and covenants of the Loan Documents and this Agreement on
Borrower's part to be paid and performed, all of Borrower's right, title
and interest in and to the Required Repair Fund and the Required Repair
Account. Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent
of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the
Required Repair Fund or the Required Repair Account or permit any lien or
encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-l
Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to
be filed with respect thereto.
7.2.3 RELEASE OF REQUIRED REPAIR FUNDS. Lender shall disburse to
Borrower all Required Repair Funds in the Required Repair Account upon
satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions: (a) Borrower
shall submit a written request for payment to Lender at least twenty (20)
days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made
(except in the case of an emergency repair which requires immediate
attention, in which event Borrower may submit such payment request within
ten (10) days), (b) on the date such request is received by Lender and on
the date such payment is to be made, no Default or Event of Default shall
exist and remain uncured, (c) Lender shall have received an Officer's
Certificate from Borrower certifying that all Required Repairs for that
Parcel have been completed (i) in a good and workmanlike manner, and (ii)
in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements, such certificate to
be accompanied by a copy of each license, permit or other approval required
by any Governmental Authority for the use or occupancy of the Property, (d)
Lender shall have received an Officer's Certificate from Borrower (i)
identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with
the Required Repairs performed at that Parcel and (ii) stating that each
such Person has been paid in full, such certificate to be accompanied by a
copy of appropriate lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory
to Lender, (e) at Lender's option, a title search for the Property
indicating that the Property is free from all liens, claims and other
encumbrances not previously approved by Lender, and (f) Lender shall have
received such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the
Required Repairs at the Property have been completed and paid for. Lender
shall be required to make only one disbursement per month from the Required
Repair Account and such disbursement shall be made only upon satisfaction
of each condition contained in this Section 7.2.3. Upon completion of all
Required Repairs in accordance with the terms hereof, Lender shall disburse
to Borrower any amounts then remaining in the Required Repair Account.

at its option, may withdraw all Required Repair Funds from the Required
Repair Account and Lender may apply such funds either to completion of the
Required Repairs at the Property or toward payment of the Debt in such
order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole
discretion. Lender's right to withdraw and apply Required Repair Funds
shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 7.3 TAX AND INSURANCE ESCROW FUND.
7.3.1 TAX AND INSURANCE ESCROW FUND. Borrower shall pay to Lender
on each Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates
will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to
accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least
thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, less any amounts
which are to be paid by a tenant directly to the taxing authorities
pursuant to the terms of a Lease, and (b) one-twelfth of the Insurance
Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the
coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to
accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums
at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (the
amounts required to be paid on a monthly basis as provided in (a) and (b)
above hereinafter called the "Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund Payments," and
the aggregate amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund Payments which
are held by Lender at any time is defined as the "Tax and Insurance Escrow
Fund"). The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund Payments, and the payments of
interest or principal or both, payable pursuant to the Note, shall be added
together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender.
Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes
and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Sec-
tion 5.1 hereof and under the Mortgages, or to reimburse Borrower for such
amounts upon presentation of evidence of payment and an Officer's
Certificate in form and substance satisfactory to Lender; subject, however,
to Borrower's right to contest Taxes in accordance with Section 5.1(b)
hereof. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow
Fund, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate
procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or
insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into
the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of
any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof.
If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts
required in Lender's judgment for the payment of Taxes and Insurance
Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole
discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against
future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. In
allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the
records of Lender to be the owner of the Property. If at any time Lender
determines that the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund Payments
must be increased to pay the items set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender
shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its
monthly Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund Payments to Lender by the amount that
Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty
(30) days prior to delinquency of the Taxes and/or expiration of the
Policies, as the case may be.
7.3.2 GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. Borrower hereby pledges, assigns
and grants a security interest to Lender, as security for payment of all

and provisions of the Loan Documents and this Agreement on Borrower's part
to be paid and performed, of all Borrower's right, title and interest in
and to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Borrower shall not, without
obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or

(b) Insurance Premiums; (c) interest on the unpaid principal balance of the
Note; (d) amortization of the unpaid principal balance of the Note; or (e)
all other sums payable pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall not constitute a trust
fund and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. Sums in the
Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall be held by Lender in an account in
Lender's name at a financial institution selected by Lender in its sole
discretion and shall be invested in Permitted Investments. Earnings or
interest, if any, thereon shall be retained as part of such funds and
applied in accordance with this Section 7.3. Lender shall not be liable
for any loss sustained on the investment of any funds constituting the Tax
and Insurance Escrow Fund.
Section 7.4 CAPITAL RESERVE FUND.
7.4.1 CAPITAL RESERVE FUND. Borrower shall pay to Lender on each

hereinafter called the "Capital Reserve Fund Payments," and the aggregate
amount of the Capital Reserve Fund Payments held by Lender at any time are
defined as the "Capital Reserve Fund"). Lender will apply the Capital
Reserve Fund to payment of Capital Expenses, Approved Leasing Expenses and
any Operating Expenses consisting of maintenance and repair items pursuant
to the terms hereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, if the Loan shall have been
accelerated or if there is an Event of Default which is continuing, then
Lender may credit such Capital Reserve Fund against the Debt in such
priority and proportions as Lender in its sole and absolute discretion
shall deem proper. If the amount of the Capital Reserve Fund shall in
Lender's judgment exceed the amounts due for Approved Capital Expenses
pursuant to the terms hereof, Lender shall, in its discretion, return any
excess to Borrower or, if future Capital Reserve Fund payments are then
required, credit such excess against such future payments; PROVIDED,

Default which is continuing, then Lender may credit such excess against the
Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender in its sole and absolute
discretion shall deem proper.

and to the Capital Reserve Fund. Borrower shall not, without obtaining the
prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any
security interest in the Capital Reserve Fund, or permit any lien or
encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1

If the Approved Leasing Expenses actually incurred by Borrower in re-
leasing the entire space covered by any terminated Lease are less than the

at law or in equity, Lender may take such action, without notice or demand,
that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against
Borrower and in and to the Property, including declaring the Debt to be
immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any
or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against Borrower
and the Property, including all rights or remedies available at law or in
equity; and upon any Event of Default described in clauses (vii), (viii) or

of the date to which the Maturity Date is accelerated, and the amount of
such yield maintenance premium as determined by Lender shall be due under
this Agreement and shall be secured by the Mortgages.
Section 8.2 REMEDIES.
(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or
more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to
Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law
or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time,
whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable,
and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding
or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of
the Loan Documents with respect to the Property. Any such actions taken by
Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently,
singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order
as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights
and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth
herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing
(i) Lender is not subject to any "one action" or "election of remedies" law
or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges
provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has
exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Mortgages have
been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the
Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b) Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially
foreclose any of the Mortgages in any manner and for any amounts secured by
such Mortgages then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole
discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i)
in the event Borrower defaults in the payment of one or more scheduled
payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the applicable
Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender
elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of
the Loan, Lender may foreclose a Mortgage to recover so much of the
principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate. Notwithstanding
one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the
Mortgages to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgages and not
previously recovered.
(c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note
and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and
other security documents in such denominations as Lender shall determine in
its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and
remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender
from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance
agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to
effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely
and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled
with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents
necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower
ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof.
(d) Any application of proceeds of the exercise of Lender's
remedies under this Article to repayment of the Debt shall be accompanied
by the applicable Event of Default Return-of-Amount.
Section 8.3 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. The rights, powers and remedies of
Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any
other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower
pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law
or in equity or otherwise. Lender's rights, powers and remedies may be
pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order
as Lender may determine in Lender's sole discretion. No delay or omission
to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default
shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a
waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from
time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one
Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed
to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or
to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
ARTICLE IX. SPECIAL PROVISIONS
-------------------------------
Section 9.1 SALE OF NOTE AND SECURITIZATION. Lender shall have the
right to dispose of the Loan, the Note, and the Loan Documents, whether in
connection with a Secondary Market Transaction or otherwise, with no
requirement of consent from the Borrower. At the request of the holder of
the Note and, to the extent not already required to be provided by Borrower
under this Agreement, Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to satisfy the
market standards to which the holder of the Note customarily adheres or
which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating
Agencies in connection with the sale of the Note or participation therein
or the first successful securitization (such sale and/or securitization,

through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of independent attorneys
acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
(b) at Lender's expense, cause counsel to render opinions in form
customary for securitization transactions as to non-consolidation,
fraudulent conveyance, and true sale or any other opinion customary in
securitization transactions with respect to the Property and Borrower and
its affiliates, which counsel and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory
to the holder of the Note and the Rating Agencies;
(c) make such representations and warranties as of the closing date
of the Securitization with respect to the Property, Borrower, and the Loan
Documents as are customarily provided in securitization transactions and as
may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating
Agencies and consistent with the facts covered by such representations and
warranties as they exist on the date thereof, including the representations
and warranties made in the Loan Documents; and
(d) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents and Borrower's
organizational documents, enter into a lock-box or similar arrangement with
respect to the Rents and establish and fund such reserve funds (including

subsection (d) shall result in a material economic change in the
transaction.
Section 9.2 SECURITIZATION INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) Borrower understands that certain of the Provided Information
and the Required Records may be included in disclosure documents in
connection with the Securitization, including a prospectus or private
placement memorandum (each, a "Disclosure Document") and may also be
included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or
provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the
Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the
Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure Document is required to
be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, upon request from the
holder of the Note, Borrower will cooperate with the holder of the Note in
updating the Provided Information or Required Reports for inclusion or
summary in the Disclosure Document by providing all current information
pertaining to Borrower and the Properties necessary to keep the Disclosure
Document accurate and complete in all material respects with respect to
such matters.
(b) In connection with each of (i) a preliminary and a private
placement memorandum or (ii) a preliminary and final prospectus, as
applicable, Borrower agrees to provide an indemnification certificate:
(A) certifying that Borrower has carefully examined those
portions of such memorandum or prospectus, as applicable, pertaining to
Borrower, the Property and the Loan including applicable portions of the
sections entitled "Special Considerations", "Description of the Mortgage",
"Description of the Mortgage Loan and Property", "The Manager", "The
Borrower" and "Certain Legal Aspects of the Mortgage Loan", and such
sections (and any other sections reasonably requested and pertaining to
Borrower, the Property or the Loan) do not contain any untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make
the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading;
(B) indemnifying Lender and the affiliate of Nomura
Securities International, Inc. ("Nomura"), that has filed the registration
statement relating to the securitization (the "Registration Statement"),
each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the
Registration Statement and each person or entity who controls Nomura within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 30 of the
Exchange Act of 1933, as amended (collectively, the "Nomura Group"), and
Nomura, each of its directors and each person who controls Nomura, within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the
Exchange Act (collectively, the "Underwriter Group") for any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (the "Liabilities") to which Lender, the
Nomura Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the
Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any
material fact based on information provided by Borrower and contained in
the applicable portions of such sections applicable to Borrower, the
Manager, the Property or the Loan, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to
be stated in the applicable portions of such sections or necessary in order
to make the statements in the applicable portions of such sections or in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
provided that such indemnification shall not extend to or include
Liabilities for the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of any of the
indemnified parties; and
(C) agreeing to reimburse Lender and Nomura for any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender and Nomura in connection with
investigating or defending the Liabilities. Borrower's Liability under
clauses (A) or (B) above shall be limited to Liabilities arising out of or
based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance
upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by or on behalf
of Borrower in connection with the preparation of those portions of the
memorandum or prospectus pertaining to Borrower, the Property or the Loan
or in connection with the underwriting of the debt, including financial
statements of Borrower, operating statements, rent rolls, environmental
site assessment reports and property condition reports with respect to the
Properties. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability
which Borrower may otherwise have.
(c) In connection with filings under the Exchange Act, Borrower
agrees to (i) indemnify Lender, the Nomura Group and the Underwriter Group
for any Liabilities to which Lender, the Nomura Group or the Underwriter
Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are
based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Provided
Information or Required Records a material fact required to be stated in
the Provided Information or Required Records in order to make the
statements in the Provided Information or Required Records, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made not misleading and (ii) reimburse
Lender or Nomura for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
Lender and Nomura in connection with defending or investigating the
Liabilities.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Sec-
tion 9.2 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified
party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
indemnifying party under this Section 9.2, notify the indemnifying party in
writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the
indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any
liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party
hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to
the indemnifying party. In the event that any action is brought against
any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with
any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent
that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified
party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified
party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such
indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such
indemnified party under this Section 9.2 for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the
defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided,
however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified
party and the indemnifying party shall have reasonably concluded that there
are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties
that are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right
to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise
participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified
party or parties. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for the
expenses of more than one separate counsel unless there are legal defenses
available to it that are different from or additional to those available to
another indemnified party.
(e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Sec-
tion 9.2(b) or (c) is for any reason held to be unenforceable by an
indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be
indemnifiable under Section 9.2(b) or 9.2(c), the indemnifying party shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a
result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect
thereof); provided, however, that no person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities
Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty
of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of
contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following
factors shall be considered: (i) the Nomura Group's and Borrower's
relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with
respect to which claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and
prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable
considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and Borrower
hereby agree that it may not be equitable if the amount of such
contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.
Section 9.3 RATING SURVEILLANCE. Lender will retain the Rating
Agencies to provide rating surveillance services on any certificates issued
in a Securitization. The pro rata share of such rating surveillance will
be at the expense of Lender.
Section 9.4 EXCULPATION. Subject to the qualifications below,
Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to
perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement,
the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding
wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower or any Owner,
except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific
performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender
to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement,
the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, or in the Property, the Rents,
or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, except as specifically provided herein, any
judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against
Borrower or an Owner only to the extent of Borrower's or such Owner's
interest in the Property, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to
Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages
and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not sue for, seek or
demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower or any Owner in any such
action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with
the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents. The
provisions of this section shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver,
release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the
Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower or the
Owners as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale
under any Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of or any
guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies
of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the
appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of any of the
Assignments of Leases; (f) constitute a prohibition against Lender
commencing any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender
to fully realize the security granted by the Mortgage or to exercise its
remedies against the Property; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of
Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower or the Owners,
by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost,
expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including
attorneys' fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in
connection with the following:
(i) fraud or material misrepresentation by Borrower, an Owner, or
any guarantor in connection with the Loan;
(ii) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Borrower or an
Owner;
(iii)the breach of any provision in that certain Environmental and
Hazardous Substance Indemnification Agreement of even date herewith given
by Borrower to Lender or in the Mortgage concerning environmental laws,
hazardous substances and asbestos and any indemnification of Lender with
respect thereto in either document;
(iv) the removal or disposal by Borrower or an Owner of any portion
of the Property after an Event of Default, other than in the ordinary
course of business;
(v) the misapplication or conversion by Borrower or an Owner of (A)
any insurance proceeds paid by reason of any loss, damage or destruction to
the Property, (B) any awards or other amounts received in connection with
the condemnation of all or a portion of the Property, or (C) any Rents
following an Event of Default;
(vi) failure to pay charges for labor or materials or other charges
that can create liens on any portion of the Property unless such charges
are the subject of a bona fide dispute in which Borrower or an Owner is
contesting the amount or validity thereof;
(vii)the collection of Rent more than thirty (30) days in advance,
and the failure to deliver to Lender any security deposits collected with
respect to the Property upon a foreclosure of the Property or action in
lieu thereof, except to the extent any such security deposits were applied
in accordance with the terms and conditions of any of the Leases prior to
the occurrence of the Event of Default that gave rise to such foreclosure
or action in lieu thereof;
(viii) the occurrence of any event described in clause (vii) of
Section 8.1 with respect to Borrower or the Managing Member; and
(ix) Borrower's indemnification of Lender set forth in Section 9.2.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any of the
Loan Documents, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which
Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other
provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount
of the Debt secured by the Mortgage or to require that all collateral shall
continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the
Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement
or in any of the Loan Documents, the Debt shall be fully recourse to the
Borrower (but not to its members, its managers, or their principals) in the
event that: (i) Borrower fails to obtain Lender's prior written consent to
any subordinate financing or other voluntary lien encumbering the
Properties other than a Permitted Encumbrance; or (ii) Borrower fails to
obtain Lender's prior written consent to any assignment, transfer, or
conveyance of the Property or any interest therein as required by any
Mortgage. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in
any of the Loan Documents, in the event that: (y) the first full monthly
payment of principal and interest under the Note is not paid when due; or
(z) Borrower fails to permit on-site inspections of the Property, fails to
provide financial information, fails to maintain its status as a single
purpose entity or fails to appoint a new property manager upon the request
of Lender after an Event of Default, each as required by, and in accordance
with the terms and provisions of, this Loan Agreement and the Mortgages,
then Lender shall have the right to direct the Clearing Bank and the
Deposit Bank that, until such condition stated in clause (y) or (z) above
has been corrected to Lender's satisfaction, all amounts deposited into
Clearing Account A shall be forwarded to the Deposit Account without any
disbursement to Borrower's Subaccount or to Clearing Account B.
Section 9.5 TERMINATION OF MANAGER. If an Event of Default occurs
and is continuing, Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, terminate the
Management Agreement and replace the Manager with a manager approved by
Lender on terms and conditions satisfactory to Lender.
Section 9.6 RETENTION OF SERVICER. Lender reserves the right to
retain the Servicer to act as its agent hereunder with such powers as are
specifically delegated to the Servicer by Lender, whether pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Deposit
Account Agreement or otherwise, together with such other powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. Borrower shall pay any reasonable fees and
expenses of the Servicer in connection with a Defeasance of the Note,
release of Property, assumption or modification of the Loan or enforcement
of the Loan Documents; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be
required to pay the Servicer's customary periodic fee for servicing the
Loan.

ARTICLE II. GENERAL
--------------------
Section 2.1 THE LOAN.
2.1.1 COMMITMENT. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set
forth herein, including the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.1,
Lender hereby agrees to make the Loan to Borrower on the Closing Date, in
the aggregate original principal amount set forth in the Note, with the
Loan to mature on the Maturity Date. Borrower hereby agrees to accept the
Loan on the Closing Date, subject to and upon the terms and conditions set
forth herein.
2.1.2 DISBURSEMENT TO BORROWER. Borrower may request and receive
only one borrowing hereunder in respect of the Loan. Borrower shall
receive the Loan upon the Closing, with disbursements of portions of the
Loan to be made to each Owner based upon the direction given by Borrower as
to the application of Loan proceeds for the uses set forth in Section
2.1.4. Any amount borrowed and repaid hereunder in respect of the Loan may
not be reborrowed.
2.1.3 THE NOTE. The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note which shall
be in the aggregate original principal amount of the Loan. The Note shall
bear interest as provided therein. The Note shall be subject to repayment
as provided in Section 2.3, shall be entitled to the benefits of this
Agreement and shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan
Documents.
2.1.4 USE OF PROCEEDS OF LOAN. Borrower shall use the proceeds of
the Loan to: (i) make disbursements to the individual Owners to repay and
discharge any existing loans secured by their respective portions of the
Property, (ii) fund any reserve accounts or escrow accounts required to be
established by Lender on the Closing Date, and (iii) pay costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the closing of the Loan, including any mortgage
recording tax imposed on the recording of the Mortgage. Following
application of Loan proceeds to the foregoing items, all remaining Loan
proceeds shall be disbursed at the Borrower's direction.
Section 2.2 INTEREST; MONTHLY PAYMENTS.
2.2.1 GENERALLY.
(a) From the date hereof through but not including the Reset
Date, Borrower shall pay interest on the outstanding principal balance of
the Loan at the Interest Rate.
(b) On the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay interest on the
outstanding principal balance of the Loan from the date hereof through June
10, 1998. Commencing with the Payment Date on July 11, 1998, and on each
and every Payment Date thereafter through and including the Earnout Date,
the Borrower shall pay all accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding
principal balance of the Loan, with such payments to be made monthly in
arrears.
(c) On the Earnout Date, as provided below, Lender shall
provide Borrower with a Lender's Certificate advising Borrower as to the:
(i) Restated Loan Amount; (ii) the Buy-Up Amount; (iii) the Interest Rate;
and (iv) the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount. Commencing with the
Payment Date on July 11, 1999, and on each and every Payment Date
thereafter through and including the Maturity Date, the principal amount of
the Loan and interest thereon at the Interest Rate shall be payable in
equal monthly installments of principal and interest in the amount
determined below to be the "Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount". The
Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount due on any Payment Date shall first be
applied to the payment of interest accrued from the eleventh (11th) day of
month preceding the Payment Date to the tenth (10th) day of the month in
which the Payment Date occurs, notwithstanding that the Payment Date may
have been deferred because the eleventh (11th) day of such month is not a
Business Day. The remainder of such Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount
shall be applied to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of
the Note.
(d) From and after the Reset Date, interest on the Loan shall
accrue at the Revised Interest Rate and shall be payable as provided in
Sections 2.2.2 and 2.2.3.
2.2.2 ACCRUED INTEREST. From and after the Reset Date, all
interest accruing on the Note in excess of the Interest Rate ("Accrued
Interest") shall be deferred, be added to the portion of the Debt evidenced
by such Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, accrue
interest at the Revised Interest Rate, compounded monthly. All Accrued
Interest shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.
2.2.3 PROPERTY CASH FLOW ALLOCATION AFTER THE OPTIONAL PREPAYMENT
DATE. Commencing on the month following the Optional Prepayment Date and
continuing on each Payment Date thereafter until the entire Debt has been
paid in full, any Rents deposited into the Deposit Account (or otherwise
received by Borrower) during the immediately preceding calendar month shall
be applied as follows in the following order of priority:
(a) First, to make the required Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund
Payments;
(b) Second, to Lender to pay the Monthly Debt Service Payment
Amount (plus, if applicable, interest at the Default Rate);
(c) Third, payments for Approved Operating Expenses;
(d) Fourth, to make the required Capital Reserve Fund Payments and
Rollover Reserve Fund Payments;
(e) Fifth, payments to Lender to prepay the outstanding principal
balance under the Note in such order and in such amounts as Lender may
elect, until the Note is paid in full;
(f) Sixth, from and after the Reset Date, payments to Lender to be
applied against Accrued Interest and interest accrued thereon; and
(g) Lastly, payments to Borrower of any excess amounts.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the failure of Borrower to
deposit all Rents into the Deposit Account or to cause funds in the Deposit
Account to be applied other than to the payments required under clauses (a)
through (g) above in the month following the Optional Prepayment Date and
on each Payment Date thereafter shall constitute an Event of Default under
this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
failure of Borrower to make all of the payments required under clauses (a)
through (d) above in full on the Optional Prepayment Date and on each
Payment Date thereafter shall constitute an Event of Default under this
Agreement. However, the failure of Borrower in any month after the Reset
Date to pay items (e) and (f) above, including any Accrued Interest on the
Payment Date in that month, shall not constitute an Event of Default
hereunder unless Borrower has received Rents in that month and applied
those Rents to matters other than the matters listed in clauses (a) through
(f) above, inclusive. All Accrued Interest shall nonetheless be due and
payable on the Maturity Date.
2.2.4 DEFAULT RATE. After the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, the entire outstanding principal balance of the
Loan shall bear interest at the Default Rate, and Lender shall have the
right to accelerate the Maturity Date by declaring the Loan and the Note
immediately due and payable. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates
provided for in this subsection is not a permitted alternative to timely
payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Default or Event of
Default or an amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan Document and
shall not otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Lender.
2.2.5 PROPERTY CASH FLOW ALLOCATION AFTER AN EVENT OF DEFAULT.
After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default,
Lender shall have the right to obtain any amounts held in the Deposit
Account on demand as provided in the Deposit Account Agreement, and Lender
shall have the right to allocate and apply Rents and any amounts held in
the Deposit Account to payment of such matters in connection with the Loan
as Lender may deem appropriate, including interest due on the Note, the
principal balance of the Note, Approved Capital Expenses, Approved Leasing
Expenses, Approved Operating Expenses, or expenses of collection or other
amounts due under any Loan Document.
2.2.6BUSINESS PURPOSE. The proceeds of the Loan will be used solely
for the purposes specified in Section 205/4, paragraph (1)(c) of Chapter
815 of the Illinois Compiled Statutes, as amended from time to time, and
the principal sum advanced is for a business loan which comes within the
purview of such paragraph (1)(c).
Section 2.3 LOAN REPAYMENT; REPAYMENT AT THE EARNOUT DATE;
DEFEASANCE.
2.3.1 REPAYMENT. Borrower shall repay any outstanding principal
indebtedness of the Loan in full on the Maturity Date of the Loan, together
with interest thereon to (but excluding) the date of repayment. Other than
as set forth in Sections 2.3.2, 2.3.6, and 2.3.7 below, Borrower shall have
no right to prepay all or any portion of Loan during the period commencing
on the Closing Date to but not including that date which will occur ninety
(90) days before the Optional Prepayment Date. From and after that date
which will occur ninety (90) days before the Optional Prepayment Date, the
Loan may be prepaid in whole or in part without penalty or premium.
2.3.2 THE EARNOUT; DETERMINATION OF DEBT SERVICE COVERAGE RATIO AND
NEED FOR LOAN BALANCING.
(a) Borrower has advised Lender that a current tenant of the
Property, Omnia, has terminated its Lease effective as of November 30,
1998, with the result that the Debt Service Coverage Ratio of the Property
will be less than 1.65 to 1 following that termination. During the period
from the date hereof to the Earnout Date, the Borrower shall provide Lender
with prompt notice of any information received by Borrower regarding any
possible retenanting of the Omnia space. Not less than fifteen (15)
business days prior to the Earnout Date, Lender will compute the Net
Operating Income of the Property for the one (1) year period following the
Earnout Date, with the determination of Net Operating Income to be based on
the rent to be paid on executed Leases as to which the Tenants have
commenced occupancy. That calculation shall be made by Lender in its sole
discretion consistent with its due diligence findings and prevailing market
conditions.
(b) If, based on that calculation of Net Operating Income, Lender
determines that the Debt Service Coverage Ratio of the Property for the
twelve month period following the Earnout Date will be less than 1.65 to 1,
Borrower shall be required to rebalance the Loan, and a "Rebalancing Event"
shall be deemed to have occurred.
2.3.3 ROLLOVER RESERVE DEPOSITS DURING THE EARNOUT PERIOD.
Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
Borrower shall deposit the amount of $314,800 into the Rollover Reserve
Fund. During the Earnout Period, Borrower shall make monthly deposits into
the Rollover Reserve Fund in the amount of $26,234 per month, as provided
in Section 7.5.1.
2.3.4 THE EARNOUT DATE; RESTATEMENT OF LOAN TERMS IF NO REBALANCING
EVENT OCCURS. If no Rebalancing Event has occurred as of the Earnout Date
and Borrower is not required to prepay any part of the Loan pursuant to
Section 2.3.2, then Lender shall deliver to Borrower on that date which
will occur fifteen (15) business days before the Earnout Date a Certificate
("Lender's Certificate") which shall state: (i) the Restated Loan Amount;
(ii) the Buy-Up Amount; (iii) the Interest Rate; and (iv) the Monthly Debt
Service Payment Amount. Concurrently therewith, Lender shall also deliver
to Borrower forms of an Amended and Restated Note, and amendments to this
Agreement and to the other Loan Documents which shall document the Restated
Loan Amount, the Buy-Up Amount, the Interest Rate, and the Monthly Debt
Service Payment Amount on terms consistent with the Lender's Certificate.
If no Rebalancing Event has occurred, the amount of the Restated Loan
Amount and the Buy-Up Amount shall equal the Original Loan Amount, the
Interest Rate shall equal eight and thirty eight hundredths percent (8.38%)
per annum, and the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount shall be that amount
which would amortize the Restated Loan Amount at the Interest Rate
applicable after the Earnout Period over an amortization schedule of 360
months. In such event, Borrower shall not be required to prepay any part
of the Loan.
2.3.5 THE EARNOUT DATE; RESTATEMENT OF LOAN TERMS IF A REBALANCING
EVENT HAS OCCURRED.
(a) If a Rebalancing Event has occurred, no later than fifteen (15)
business days prior to the Earnout Date, Lender shall advise Borrower of
the amount of the Loan which shall be required to prepay (the "Loan
Balancing Amount") so that the Debt Service Coverage Ratio of the Property
is equal to or greater than 1.65 to 1. Such prepayment shall be made
without penalty, but Borrower shall be required to pay any breakage costs
or losses incurred by Lender for breaking a portion of the interest rate
lock which was in effect for the entire Loan as of the Closing Date, and
the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount shall be restated by Lender to
reflect the reduction of the principal amount of the Loan. Upon such
prepayment by Borrower, Lender shall deliver to Borrower a Certificate
which shall state: (i) the Restated Loan Amount; (ii) the Buy-Up Amount;
(iii) the Interest Rate; and (iv) the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount.
Concurrently therewith, Lender shall also deliver to Borrower forms of an
Amended and Restated Note, and amendments to this Agreement and to the
other Loan Documents which shall document the Restated Loan Amount, the
Buy-Up Amount, the Interest Rate, and the Monthly Debt Service Payment
Amount on terms consistent with the Lender's Certificate. The amount of
the Restated Loan Amount and the Buy-Up Amount shall equal the Original
Loan Amount less the Loan Balancing Amount, the Interest Rate shall equal
eight and thirty eight hundredths percent (8.38%) per annum, and the
Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount shall be that amount which would
amortize the Restated Loan Amount at the Interest Rate applicable after the
Earnout Period over an amortization schedule of 360 months.
(b) In the alternative, if a Rebalancing Event has occurred,
Borrower may elect to deliver to Lender within thirty (30) days after the
Earnout Date, in accordance with the procedure stated in Section 2.4.5,
that amount of additional collateral which, in Lender's sole discretion,
would increase the amount of Net Operating Income on a proforma basis for
the twelve (12) month period following the Earnout Date so that the Debt
Service Coverage Ratio of the Property for that period would be equal to or
greater than 1.65 to 1. Upon the delivery of such collateral by Borrower,
Lender shall recalculate the Net Operating Income for the twelve month
period following the Earnout Date, and if, based on that calculation, no
Rebalancing Event has occurred, then Lender will deliver to Borrower the
Certificate provided for in Section 2.3.4. Concurrently therewith, Lender
shall also deliver to Borrower forms of an Amended and Restated Note, and
amendments to this Agreement and to the other Loan Documents which shall
document the Restated Loan Amount, the Buy-Up Amount, the Interest Rate,
and the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount on terms consistent with the
Lender's Certificate.
\82 Any amounts required to be paid to Lender under this Section
2.3 must be paid on or before the Earnout Date.
2.3.6 MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS. The Loan is subject to mandatory
prepayment, without premium or penalty, in certain instances of Insured
Casualty or Condemnation (each a "Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment"), in
the manner and to the extent set forth in Sections 7.1.2 and Section 7.1.3
hereof. Each Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment shall be made on a Payment
Date and include all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid up
to but not including such Payment Date or, if not paid on a Payment Date,
include interest that would have accrued on the amount prepaid to but not
including the next Payment Date. Each Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment
shall be accompanied by the applicable Return-of-Amount.
2.3.7 VOLUNTARY DEFEASANCE OF THE NOTE.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Sec-
tion 2.3.7, Borrower may defease all or any portion of the Loan evidenced
by any or all of the Note (hereinafter, a "Defeasance"); provided, that no
such Defeasance may occur prior to the Release Date. Each Defeasance shall
be subject, in each case, to the satisfaction of the following conditions
precedent:
(i) Borrower shall provide not less than thirty (30) days prior
written notice to Lender specifying a Payment Date (the "Defeasance Date")
on which the Defeasance is to occur. Such notice shall indicate the Note
to be defeased and the principal amount of that Note to be defeased.
(ii) Borrower shall pay to Lender all accrued and unpaid interest on
the principal balances of the Note to but not including the Defeasance
Date. If for any reason the Defeasance Date is not a Payment Date,
Borrower shall also pay interest that would have accrued on the Note to but
not including the next Payment Date.
(iii)Borrower shall pay to Lender all other sums, not including
scheduled interest or principal payments, then due under the Note, this
Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.
(iv) No Event of Default shall exist.
(v) Borrower shall pay to Lender the required Defeasance Deposit
for the Defeasance.
(vi) Borrower shall pay to Lender the applicable Early Prepayment
Return-of-Amount or the Partial Defeasance Return-of-Amount, whichever is
applicable.
(vii)In the event only a portion of the Loan evidenced by the Note
is the subject of the Defeasance, Borrower shall execute and deliver all
necessary documents to amend and restate the Note and issue two substitute
notes: one having a principal balance equal to the defeased portion of the
original Note (the "Defeased Note") and one note having a principal balance
equal to the undefeased portion of the original Note (the "Undefeased
Note"). The Defeased Note and Undefeased Note shall have identical terms
as the Note, except for the principal balance. A Defeased Note cannot be
the subject of any further Defeasance. The Defeased Note and the
Undefeased Note shall thereafter be included in the definition of "Note"
under this Agreement.
(viii) Borrower shall execute and deliver a security agreement,
in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, creating a first priority
lien on the Defeasance Deposit and the U.S. Obligations purchased with the
Defeasance Deposit in accordance with this provision of this Section 2.3.7
(the "Security Agreement").
(ix) Borrower shall deliver an opinion of counsel for Borrower in
form satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion stating, among other
things, that (A) Lender has a perfected first priority security interest in
the Defeasance Deposit and the U.S. Obligations delivered by Borrower and
(B) said U.S. Obligations have been validly assigned to the REMIC Trust.
(x) Lender shall receive evidence in writing from the applicable
Rating Agencies to the effect that such Defeasance will not result in a
reduction, withdrawal or requalification of the ratings in effect
immediately prior to such Defeasance for the Securities issued in
connection with the Securitization which are then outstanding.
(xi) If required by the applicable Rating Agencies, Borrower shall
also deliver or cause to be delivered a non-consolidation opinion with
respect to the Successor Borrower in form and substance satisfactory to
Lender and the applicable Rating Agencies.
(xii) Borrower shall deliver an Officer's Certificate
certifying that the requirements set forth in this Section 2.3.7(a) have
been satisfied.
(xiii) Borrower shall deliver such other certificates, documents
or instruments as Lender may reasonably request.
(xiv)Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of Lender
incurred in the Defeasance, including any costs and expenses associated
with a release of Lien as provided in Section 2.4 hereof and reasonable
attorney's fees and expenses.
(b) In connection with each Defeasance of all or any portion of a
Note, Borrower hereby appoints Lender as its agent and attorney-in-fact for
the purpose of using the Defeasance Deposit to purchase U.S. Obligations
(which purchases, if made by Lender, shall be made by Lender on an arms-
length basis at then prevailing market rates) which provide payments on or
prior to, but as close as possible to, (i) in the case of a Defeasance for
the entire outstanding principal balance of a Note, all payments required
under that Note on successive Payment Dates after the Defeasance Date up to
the Optional Prepayment Date, when the entire outstanding balance and all
accrued interest on such Note shall be paid in full; or (ii) in the case of
a Defeasance for only a portion of the outstanding principal balance of a
Note, all payments required under that Defeased Note on successive Payment
Dates after the Defeasance Date up to the Optional Prepayment Date, when
the entire outstanding balance and all accrued interest on such Defeased
Note shall be paid in full (the "Scheduled Defeasance Payments").
Borrower, pursuant to the Security Agreement or other appropriate document,
shall irrevocably authorize and direct that the payments received from the
U.S. Obligations may be made directly to Lender and applied to satisfy the
obligations of Borrower under the Note or the Defeased Note, as applicable.
Any portion of the Defeasance Deposit in excess of the amount necessary to
purchase the U.S. Obligations required by this Section 2.3.7(b) and satisfy
Borrower's obligations under Sections 2.3 or 2.4 shall be remitted to
Borrower. Any amounts received in respect of the U.S. Obligations in
excess of the amounts necessary to make monthly payments pursuant to
Section 2.2 shall be retained by Lender until payment in full of the Loan.
Semi-annual payments in respect of U.S. Obligations shall be applied to
payments under the Note or the Defeased Note, as applicable, as the same
become due thereunder.
(c) If requested by Borrower in connection with any Defeasance
under this Section 2.3.7, NACC shall establish or designate a successor
entity (the "Successor Borrower") and Borrower shall transfer and assign
all obligations, rights and duties under and to the Note or the Defeased
Note, as applicable, together with the pledged U.S. Obligations to such
Successor Borrower. The obligation of NACC to establish or designate a
Successor Borrower shall be retained by NACC notwithstanding the sale or
transfer of this Agreement unless such obligation is specifically assumed
by the transferee. Such Successor Borrower shall assume the obligations
under the Note or the Defeased Note, as applicable, and the Security
Agreement and Borrower shall be relieved of its obligations thereunder.
Borrower shall pay $1,000 to any such Successor Borrower as consideration
for assuming the obligations under the Note or the Defeased Note, as
applicable, and the Security Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, no other assumption fee shall be payable upon a
transfer of the Note or the Defeased Note in accordance with this Sec-
tion 2.3.7, but Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by
Lender, including Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses,
incurred in connection therewith.
Section 2.4 RELEASE OF PROPERTY. Except as set forth in this Sec-
tion 2.4, no repayment, prepayment or defeasance of all or any portion of
the Note shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result
in, the release of the Lien of any of the Mortgage on the Property.
2.4.1 RELEASE OF THE PROPERTY.
(a) If Borrower has elected to defease the Note in its entirety,
and the requirements of Section 2.3 have been satisfied, the Property shall
be released from the Lien of the applicable Mortgage and the U.S.
Obligations, pledged pursuant to the Security Agreement, shall be the sole
source of collateral securing the Note.
(b) In connection with the release of the Lien, Borrower shall
submit to Lender, not less than twenty (20) days prior to the Defeasance
Date, a release of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for the Property (for

Lender in its sole discretion and all other documentation Lender 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 release
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
2.4.2 RELEASE ON PAYMENT IN FULL. Lender shall, upon the written
request and at the expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of all
principal and interest on the Loan and all other amounts due and payable
under the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms thereof, release the
Liens of the Mortgage if not theretofore released.

Parcel to be released; and (iv) following the release of the Parcel, the
Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Parcels remaining subject to the
Mortgage (assuming a paydown, and not a defeasance, of the Note in the
amount of one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of the Allocated Loan
Amount for the released Parcel) is greater than both (A) the Debt Service
Coverage Ratio for the Note at the Closing Date; and (B) the Debt Service
Coverage Ratio for the Note prior to the proposed release.
2.4.4 SUBSTITUTION OF COLLATERAL. At any time after the Release
Date but prior to the Optional Prepayment Date, upon satisfaction of the
following conditions, Lender shall, in the case of any of the Parcels

2.4.5 ADDITION OF COLLATERAL AFTER EARNOUT DATE. If Lender notifies
Borrower on or before the Earnout Date that a Rebalancing Event has
occurred, Borrower may elect to increase the Net Operating Income of the
Property by adding additional collateral (one or more "Additional Parcels")
to the Property. For Lender to permit Borrower to add any Additional

Date. The determination by Lender of the amount of Net Operating Income
from the Additional Parcel shall be made by Lender in its sole discretion
consistent with its due diligence findings and prevailing market
conditions.
Section 2.5 PAYMENTS AND COMPUTATIONS.
2.5.1 MAKING OF PAYMENTS. 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 1:00 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 thereafter.
2.5.2 COMPUTATIONS. Interest payable hereunder or under the Note by
Borrower shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days
elapsed in a 360-day year.
2.5.3 LATE PAYMENT CHARGE. If any principal, interest or any other
sum due under the Loan Documents is not paid by Borrower on 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 amount

result in such special or other assessments.
(s) ENFORCEABILITY. The Loan Documents are not subject to any
right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by an Owner,

affect the insurability of the same or cause the imposition of
extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or of any termination or
threatened termination of any policy of insurance or bond.
(z) APPRAISED VALUE. All of the improvements which were included
in determining the appraised value of a Parcel lie wholly within the
boundaries and building restriction lines of such Parcel, and no
improvements on adjoining properties encroach in any material respect upon
any Parcel, and no easements or other encumbrances upon a Parcel encroach
upon any of the improvements on that Parcel, so as to affect the value or
marketability of that Parcel, except those which are insured against by
title insurance.
(aa) LEASES. Attached hereto as SCHEDULE 1 are the rent rolls
(collectively, the "Rent Roll") for each Parcel. Each Rent Roll is true,
correct and complete with respect to the subject matter thereof as of the

for an adjustment to the rent, except that those tenants as have been
specified in a written notice delivered from Borrower to Lender have
disputed Borrower's calculations of real estate tax and common area
maintenance contributions; _8K no tenant has made any claim against the
landlord under the Leases which remains outstanding (except to the extent
provided in (iv) above) and there are no defaults in any material respect
on the part of the landlord under any Lease and to the best of Borrower's
knowledge, no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice or

(v) None of the Owners has made or will make any advances to any
third party (including any affiliate or constituent party, or any affiliate

business.
(vi) Each Owner is and will remain solvent and will pay its debts

(ff) FRAUDULENT TRANSFER. None of the Owners has entered into the
Loan or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or
defraud any creditor. Each Owner has received reasonably equivalent value
in exchange for its agreement to pledge its respective portion of the
Property as collateral for the Loan and in exchange for its obligations
under the Loan Documents. Giving effect to the transactions contemplated
by the Loan Documents, the fair saleable value of Borrower's assets equals
or exceeds and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of
the Loan Documents, exceed Borrower's total liabilities, including
subordinated, unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities. The fair
saleable value of Borrower's total assets is and will, immediately
following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, be greater than
Borrower's probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its
contingent liabilities or its debts as such debts become absolute and
matured. Borrower's assets do not and, immediately following the execution
and delivery of the Loan Documents 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 debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other
commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking
into account the timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of
obligations of Borrower).
(gg) MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT. Each Management Agreement is in full
force and effect and there is no default, breach or violation existing
thereunder by any party thereto and no event has occurred (other than
payments due but not yet delinquent) that, with the passage of time or the
giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default, breach or violation
by any party thereunder. Neither the execution and delivery of the Loan
Documents, Borrower's performance thereunder, the recordation of the
Mortgage, nor the exercise of any remedies by Lender, will adversely affect
Borrower's rights under any Management Agreement.
Section 4.2 SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS. Borrower agrees that all
of the representations and warranties of Borrower set forth in Section 4.1
and elsewhere in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents shall
survive for so long as any amount remains owing to Lender under this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by Borrower. All
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made in this
Agreement or in the other Loan Documents by Borrower shall be deemed to
have been relied upon by Lender notwithstanding any investigation
heretofore or hereafter made by Lender or on its behalf.

until the extended deadline (or if payment is required earlier, such
payment has been made). Borrower will deliver to Lender receipts for
payment or other evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes and Other
Charges have been so paid or are not then delinquent on or prior to the
date on which the Taxes and/or Other Charges would otherwise be delinquent
if not paid (provided, however, that Borrower is not required to furnish
such receipts for payment of Taxes in the event that such Taxes have been
paid by Lender pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof). Borrower shall not suffer
and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any lien or charge
whatsoever which may be or become a lien or charge against the Property,
and shall promptly pay for or cause to be paid for all utility services
provided to the Property for which Borrower is responsible. After prior
written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by
appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good
faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in
whole or in part of any Taxes or Other Charges, provided that (i) no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured, (ii) such
proceeding shall suspend the collection of the Taxes or Other Charges from
the Property, (iii) 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,
(iv) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be
in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, canceled or lost, (v)
Borrower shall have furnished such security as may be required in the
proceeding, or as may be requested by Lender, to insure the payment of any
such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all interest and penalties
thereon; and (vi) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof
pay the amount of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all costs,

the entitlement of such claimant is established.

Lender of any litigation or governmental proceedings pending or threatened
against any Owner which might materially adversely affect Borrower's
condition (financial or otherwise) or business or the Property.
(d) PREMISES. Borrower shall permit agents, representatives and
employees of Lender to inspect the Property or any part thereof at
reasonable hours upon reasonable advance notice.

any material adverse change in any Owner's condition, financial or
otherwise, or of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default of which
Borrower has knowledge.
(f) COOPERATE IN LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. Borrower shall cooperate fully
with Lender with respect to any proceedings before any court, board or
other Governmental Authority which may in any way affect the rights of
Lender hereunder or any rights obtained by Lender under any of the other

election, to participate in any such proceedings.

affecting the Property or any part thereof) out of such Insurance Proceeds.
(i) FURTHER ASSURANCES. Borrower shall, at Borrower's sole cost
and expense:
(A) furnish to Lender all instruments, documents, boundary

(B) execute and deliver to Lender such documents,
instruments, certificates, assignments and other writings, and do such
other acts necessary or desirable, to evidence, preserve and/or protect the
collateral at any time securing or intended to secure its obligations under
the Loan Documents, as Lender may reasonably require; and
(C) do and execute all and such further lawful and reasonable
acts, conveyances and assurances for the better and more effective carrying
out of the intents and purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, as Lender shall reasonably require from time to time.
(j) SUPPLEMENTAL MORTGAGE AFFIDAVITS. As of the date hereof,
Borrower represents that it has paid all state, county and municipal
recording and all other taxes imposed upon the execution and recordation of
the Mortgage. If at any time Lender determines, based on applicable law,
that Lender is not being afforded the maximum amount of security available
from the Property as a direct or indirect result of applicable taxes not
having been paid with respect to the Property, Borrower agrees that
Borrower will execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lender, immediately upon
Lender's request, supplemental affidavits correctly stating the amount of
the Debt, and Borrower shall, on demand, pay any additional taxes required
to be paid with respect to the Mortgage.
(k) FINANCIAL REPORTING.

amounts for such requested period and year to date. The financial
statements, certificates, reports or information required to be furnished
to Lender or its designee by this Section 5.1(k) are referred to as the
"Required Records." If Borrower fails to provide to Lender or its designee
any Required Record within thirty (30) days after the date upon which such
Required Record is due, and if Lender has given at least fifteen (15) days
prior written notice to Borrower of such failure by Borrower to timely
submit the applicable Required Record, then: (y) if such failure is not the
result of willful misconduct or gross negligence, then Borrower shall pay
to Lender, at Lender's option and in its sole discretion, an amount equal
to Five Hundred Dollars ($500) for each Required Record that is not
delivered; or (z) if such failure is the result of willful misconduct or
gross negligence, then Lender shall direct the Deposit Bank to make no
further disbursements to the Borrower's Subaccount of the Deposit Account
(as identified in the Deposit Account Agreement) until such Required Record
shall have been delivered.
(l) BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS. Borrower will continue to engage in
the businesses presently conducted by it as and to the extent the same are
necessary for the ownership, maintenance, management and operation of the
Property. Each Owner will qualify to do business and will remain in good
standing under the laws of each jurisdiction as and to the extent the same
are required for the ownership, maintenance, management and operation of
the Property.
(m) TITLE TO THE PROPERTY. Borrower will warrant and defend (i)
the title to the Property and every part thereof, subject only to Liens
permitted under the Loan Documents (including Permitted Encumbrances), and
(ii) the validity and priority of the Lien of the Mortgage, subject only to
Liens permitted under the Loan Documents (including Permitted
Encumbrances), in each case against the claims of all Persons whomsoever.
Borrower shall reimburse Lender for any losses, costs, damages or expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) incurred by Lender
if an interest in the Property, other than as permitted hereunder, is
claimed by another Person.
(n) COSTS OF ENFORCEMENT. In the event (i) that a Mortgage is
foreclosed in whole or in part or is put into the hands of an attorney for
collection, suit, action or foreclosure, (ii) of the foreclosure of any
mortgage prior to or subsequent to a Mortgage encumbering the Property in
which proceeding Lender is made a party, or (iii) of the bankruptcy,
insolvency, rehabilitation or other similar proceeding in respect of
Borrower or an assignment by Borrower for the benefit of its creditors,
Borrower, its successors or assigns, shall be chargeable with and agrees to
pay all reasonable costs of collection and defense, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses in connection therewith and in connection with
any appellate proceeding or post-judgment action involved therein, which
shall be due and payable together with all required service or use taxes.
(o) ESTOPPEL STATEMENT.
(i) After request by Lender, Borrower shall within ten (10)
days furnish Lender with a statement, duly acknowledged and certified,
setting forth (A) the unpaid principal amount of the Note, (B) the Interest
Rate of the Note, (C) the date installments of interest and/or principal
were last paid, (D) any offsets or defenses to the payment of the Debt, if
any, and (E) whether the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other
Loan Documents are valid, legal and binding obligations and have not been
modified or if modified, giving particulars of such modification.
(ii) After request by Lender (but no more frequently than one
(1) time in any calendar year), Borrower shall within ten (10) days furnish
Lender with a certificate reaffirming all representations and warranties of
Borrower set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents as of the date
requested by Lender or, to the extent of any changes to any such
representations and warranties, so stating such changes.
(iii)After request by Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender
tenant estoppel certificates from each tenant at the Property in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender provided that Borrower shall
not be required to deliver such certificates more frequently than one (1)
time in any calendar year or more frequently than may be permitted by the
terms of any Lease.
(p) LOAN PROCEEDS. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan
received by it on the Closing Date only for the purposes set forth in Sec-
tion 2.1.4.
(q) PERFORMANCE BY BORROWER. Borrower shall in a timely manner
observe, perform and fulfill each and every covenant, term and provision of
each Loan Document executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower,
and shall not enter into or otherwise suffer or permit any amendment,
waiver, supplement, termination or other modification of any Loan Document
executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower without the prior
written consent of Lender.
(r) ANNUAL BUDGET. Borrower shall prepare and submit (or shall
cause Manager to prepare and submit) to Lender by December 15 of each year
during the Term a proposed pro forma budget for the Property during the
succeeding fiscal year commencing January 1 and ending December 31 (the
"Annual Budget") and, promptly after preparation thereof, any subsequent
revisions to such Annual Budget. The Annual Budget shall consist of (a) an
operating expense budget (the "Operating Budget") showing, on a
month-by-month basis, in reasonable detail, each line item of the
Borrower's anticipated income and Operating Expenses (on an accrual basis),
including amounts required to establish, maintain and/or increase reserves,
and (b) a Capital Expense Budget (the "Capital Budget") showing, on an
annual basis, in reasonable detail, each line item of anticipated Capital
Expenses. A copy of the Annual Budget for the period commencing on the
date hereof and ending on December 31, 1998 is attached hereto as Exhibit
C. From and after the occurrence of a Cash Management Event, the Capital
Budget shall be subject to Lender's approval, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. Lender's failure to approve or
disapprove any Capital Budget within thirty (30) days after Lender's
receipt thereof shall be deemed to constitute Lender's approval thereof.
Following the Optional Prepayment Date, the Operating Budget shall be
subject to Lender's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. Lender's failure to approve or disapprove any
Operating Budget within thirty (30) days after Lender's receipt thereof
shall be deemed to constitute Lender's approval thereof. Following the
Optional Prepayment Date, Borrower shall make no expenditure related to the
Property in excess of one hundred five percent (105%) of the amount
budgeted for that expenditure without Lender's prior approval, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(s) CONFIRMATION OF REPRESENTATIONS. In addition to and not in
limitation of the covenants and agreements of Borrower contained in Sec-
tion 7.1, Borrower shall deliver, in connection with any Secondary Market
Transaction, and not more than two (2) times in any calendar year, (i) one
or more Officer's Certificates certifying as to the accuracy of all
representations made by Borrower in the Loan Documents as of the date of
the closing of such Secondary Market Transaction in all relevant
jurisdictions, and (ii) certificates of the relevant Governmental
Authorities in all relevant jurisdictions indicating the good standing and
qualification of Borrower as of the date of the Secondary Market
Transaction.
(t) NO JOINT ASSESSMENT. Borrower shall not suffer, permit or
initiate the joint assessment of the Property (i) with any other real
property constituting a tax lot separate from the Property, and (ii) with
any portion of the Property which may be deemed to constitute personal
property, or any other procedure whereby the lien of any taxes which may be
levied against such personal property shall be assessed or levied or
charged to the Property.
(u) LEASING MATTERS. Borrower shall not, without Lender's prior
written consent, enter into, modify, amend or renew any Lease of space
located in any Parcel if the base rent payable under such Lease is in
excess of $100,000 in any calendar year, except in accordance with leasing
parameters approved by Lender from time to time; provided, however, that so
long as at the time that Borrower desires to enter into, modify, amend or
renew any Lease other than a Lease which represents a replacement in whole
or in part for Omnia, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (which for purposes
of this subsection (u) shall be calculated by using a definition of
Operating Expenses that does not include the adjustments described in the
last grammatical paragraph of the definition of "Operating Expenses," but
rather includes a fixed adjustment of $322,236) for the Property is equal
to or greater than 1.65 to 1.0, Lender's consent to any such Lease,
modification, amendment or renewal shall not be required. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary provided herein, Lender's consent shall be
required for any Lease which represents a replacement in whole or in part
for Omnia. Lender's failure to approve or disapprove any proposed Lease,
modification, amendment or renewal for which Lender's approval is required
within five (5) business days after Lender's receipt thereof shall be
deemed to constitute Lender's approval thereof. Upon request, Borrower
shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Leases, and modifications,
amendments or renewals thereof. All proposed Leases shall be on
commercially reasonable terms and shall not contain any terms which would
materially adversely affect Lender's rights under the Loan Documents. All
Leases executed after the date hereof shall provide that they are
subordinate to the Mortgage encumbering the applicable portion of the
Property and that the lessee agrees to attorn to Lender. Borrower (i)
shall observe and perform in all material respects the obligations imposed
upon the lessor under the Leases; (ii) shall enforce the terms, covenants
and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the lessee
thereunder to be observed or performed, except to the extent that any such
non-enforcement by an Owner is the result of such Owner acting in the
ordinary course of business as a prudent operator of property similar to
the applicable Parcel; (iii) except for rents paid by the County of Fayette
to Lexington Trust, shall not collect any of the rents more than one (1)
month in advance (other than security deposits); (iv) shall not execute any
other assignment of lessor's interest in the Leases or the Rents (except as
contemplated by the Loan Documents); (v) shall not alter, modify or change
the terms of the Leases in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of the
Loan Documents; and (vi) shall execute and deliver at the request of Lender
all such further assurances, confirmations and assignments in connection
with the Leases as Lender shall from time to time reasonably require.
(v) PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS. Borrower shall not change its
principal place of business set forth on the first page of this Agreement
without first giving Lender thirty (30) days prior written notice.
(w) MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT. Borrower shall cause each Parcel to be
operated pursuant to the Management Agreement applicable thereto. Borrower
shall:
(i) promptly perform and/or observe in all material respects
all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed and observed
by it under each Management Agreement and do all things necessary to
preserve and to keep unimpaired its material rights thereunder;
(ii) promptly notify Lender of any default under any Management
Agreement of which it is aware; and
(iii)promptly enforce the performance and observance in all
material respects of all of the covenants and agreements required to be
performed and/or observed by the Manager under each Management Agreement.
ARTICLE VI. NEGATIVE COVENANTS
-------------------------------
Section 6.1 BORROWER'S NEGATIVE COVENANTS. From the date hereof
until payment and performance in full of all obligations of Borrower under
the Loan Documents or the earlier release of the Liens of the Mortgage in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender that it will not do, directly or
indirectly, any of the following:
(a) OPERATION OF PROPERTIES. Borrower shall not, without Lender's
prior consent: (i) surrender, terminate or cancel the Management Agreement
or otherwise replace the Manager of any Parcel or enter into any other
management agreements with respect to the Property (except pursuant to
Section 9.5); provided, however that so long as no Event of Default then
exists, Borrower shall have the right to surrender, terminate or cancel any
Management Agreement or otherwise replace any Manager so long as the fee
payable to the replacement Manager is not greater than 5% of the gross
rents payable to the Owner of the applicable Parcel (unless as otherwise
provided below) and the replacement Manager executes and delivers to Lender
a consent agreement in form and substance substantially identical to the
one theretofore furnished by the Manager being replaced; (ii) reduce or
consent to the reduction of the term of the Management Agreement, except to
the extent that any Owner is acting in the ordinary course of business as a
prudent operator of property similar to the applicable Parcel;
(iii) increase or consent to the increase of the amount of any charges
under the Management Agreement which would result in the management fee
payable to any Manager exceeding 5% of the gross rents payable to the
Manager of the applicable Parcel; or (iv) otherwise modify, change,
supplement, alter or amend, or waive or release any of its rights and
remedies under the Management Agreement in any material respect, except to
the extent that any Owner is acting in the ordinary course of business as a
prudent operator of property similar to the applicable Parcel.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement or in
any Loan Document, Lender shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to a
request that Borrower shall pay a third party Manager, which shall not be
an Affiliate of Borrower, a management fee in excess of 5% of the gross
rents of a Parcel if the fee paid to the third party Manager is reasonably
determined by Lender to be a market rate fee and if the portion of such fee
which exceeds 5% of the gross rents from a Parcel consists of incentive
payments.
(b) LIENS. Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent
of Lender, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any portion
of any of the Property or permit any such action to be taken, except (i)
Permitted Encumbrances, (ii) Liens created by or permitted pursuant to the
Loan Documents and (iii) Liens for Taxes or Other Charges not yet due.
(c) DISSOLUTION. None of the Owners shall dissolve, terminate,
liquidate, merge with or consolidate into another Person, provided that the
foregoing shall not apply to any Owner that no longer owns title to a
Parcel that is encumbered by the Mortgage, by reason of a full defeasance
of the Note pursuant to Section 2.4.1 above, a partial release having been
issued with respect to such Parcel pursuant to Section 2.4.3 above or such
Parcel having become a Replaced Parcel pursuant to Section 2.4.4 above.
(d) CHANGE IN BUSINESS. None of the Owners shall enter into any
line of business other than the ownership and operation of the Property, or
make any material change in the scope or nature of its business objectives,
purposes or operations, or undertake or participate in activities other
than the continuance of its present business.
(e) DEBT CANCELLATION. None of the Owners shall cancel or
otherwise forgive or release any claim or debt owed to such Owner by any
Person, except for adequate consideration and in the ordinary course of
Borrower's business in its reasonable judgment.
(f) AFFILIATE TRANSACTIONS. Except for loans made from Banyan in
the ordinary course of Banyan's business to any Owner for the payment of
customary and ordinary Operating Expenses and Capital Expenses advanced by
Banyan on behalf of such Owner, none of the Owners shall enter into, or be
a party to, any transaction with an Affiliate of an Owner or any of the
members of an Owner except in the ordinary course of business and on terms
which are fully disclosed to Lender in advance and are no less favorable to
the Owner or such Affiliate than would be obtained in a comparable
arm's-length transaction with an unrelated third party.
(g) ZONING. None of the Owners shall initiate or consent to any
zoning reclassification of any portion of any of the Property or seek any
variance under any existing zoning ordinance or use or permit the use of
any portion of any of the Property in any manner that could result in such
use becoming a non-conforming use under any zoning ordinance or any other
applicable land use law, rule or regulation, without the prior consent of
Lender.
(h) ASSETS. None of the Owners shall purchase or own any
properties other than the Property.
(i) DEBT. None of the Owners shall create, incur or assume any
debt other than the Debt and other than Permitted Indebtedness.
(j) TRANSFERS. None of the Owners shall, without the prior written
consent of Lender, cause, participate in, suffer or permit the sale,
mortgage, option, assignment or transfer of or conveyance of any interest
in any of the following (a "Transfer"), unless such Transfer otherwise
would qualify as a Permitted Transfer: (i) all or any part of the Property;
or (ii) any direct interest in an Owner.
(k) PERMITTED TRANSFERS. Each of the following Transfers is
referred to herein as a "Permitted Transfer":
(i) Any transfer of an interest in an Owner shall be a
Permitted Transfer if the following conditions are satisfied: (A) the
amount of interests in an Owner transferred in reliance on this exception
shall not exceed forty nine and ninety nine hundredths percent (49.99%) in
the aggregate; (B) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at
the time of any such proposed transfer; and (C) if as a result of a
transfer otherwise permitted under this paragraph, any one individual
either directly or indirectly owns in the aggregate greater than forty nine
and ninety nine hundredths percent (49.99%) of the interests in any Owner,
then Borrower must provide a substantive consolidation opinion of counsel
addressing such transfer which opinion must be acceptable to the Rating
Agencies.
(ii) Any Lease permitted under Section 5.1(u) of this
Agreement.
(iii)Any Transfer of a Parcel if in connection therewith a
partial release is issued by Lender with respect to such Parcel pursuant to
Section 2.4.3 above or such Parcel becomes a Replaced Parcel pursuant to
Section 2.4.4 above.

damage by standard, "all-risk" perils. Such insurance (i) shall be in an
amount equal to the greatest of (A) the then full replacement cost of the

to the Property under said program, whichever is less.
(ii) Comprehensive public liability insurance, including broad
form property damage, blanket contractual and personal injuries (including
death resulting therefrom) coverages and containing minimum limits per
occurrence of $1,000,000 and $2,000,000 in the aggregate for any policy

including all legal liability imposed upon Borrower and all court costs and
attorneys' fees incurred in connection with the ownership, operation and
maintenance of the Property.
(iii)Rental loss and/or business interruption insurance in an
amount equal to the greater of (A) the estimated gross revenues from the
operations of the Property for the next succeeding twelve (12) month period
or (B) the projected operating expenses (including debt service) for the
maintenance and operation of the Property for the next succeeding twelve
(12) month period. The amount of such insurance shall be increased from
time to time during the Term as and when the Rents increase or the estimate
of (or the actual) gross revenue, as may be applicable, increases.
(iv) Insurance against loss or damage from (A) leakage of
sprinkler systems and (B) explosion of steam boilers, air conditioning
equipment, high pressure piping, machinery and equipment, pressure vessels

(v) Worker's compensation insurance with respect to any
employees of Borrower, as required by any governmental authority or legal

(vii)Coverage to compensate for the cost of demolition and the
increased cost of construction for the Property in an amount satisfactory
to Lender.
(viii) Such other insurance, including earthquake
insurance, as may from time to time be reasonably required by Lender in
order to protect its interests.
(c) All policies of insurance (the "Policies") required pursuant to
this Section 7.1.1 (i) shall be issued by companies approved by Lender and
licensed to do business in the State, with a minimum claims paying ability
rating of "Aq" by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group or "AX" by Best's, except
that for any earthquake insurance, a minimum claims paying ability rating
of "BBB" by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group is acceptable; (ii) shall name
Lender and its successors and/or assigns as their interest may appear as

company shall be paid; (iv) shall contain a waiver of subrogation against
Lender; (v) shall be maintained throughout the Term without cost to Lender;
(vi) shall be assigned and the originals thereof delivered to Lender; (vii)

written notice of any modification, reduction or cancellation of any of the
Policies; and (viii) shall be satisfactory in form and substance to Lender
and shall be approved by Lender as to amounts, form, risk coverage,
deductibles, loss payees and insureds. Borrower shall pay the premiums for
such Policies (the "Insurance Premiums") as the same become due and payable
and shall furnish to Lender evidence of the renewal of each of the Policies
with receipts for the payment of the Insurance Premiums or other evidence
of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender (provided, however, that
Borrower is not required to furnish such evidence of payment to Lender if
such Insurance Premiums have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 7.3
hereof). If Borrower does not furnish such evidence and receipts at least
thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any expiring Policy, then
Lender may procure, but shall not be obligated to procure, such insurance
and pay the Insurance Premiums therefor, and Borrower agrees to reimburse
Lender for the cost of such Insurance Premiums promptly on demand. Within
thirty (30) days after request by Lender, Borrower shall obtain such
increases in the amounts of coverage required hereunder as may be
reasonably requested by Lender, taking into consideration changes in the
value of money over time, changes in liability laws, changes in prudent
customs and practices, and the like.
(d) If any portion of the Property is damaged or destroyed, in
whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (an "Insured Casualty"),
Borrower shall give prompt notice thereof to Lender. Following the
occurrence of an Insured Casualty, Borrower, regardless of whether
insurance proceeds are available, shall promptly proceed to restore,
repair, replace or rebuild the affected Parcel to be of at least equal
value and of substantially the same character as prior to such damage or
destruction, all to be effected in accordance with Legal Requirements. The
expenses incurred by Lender in the adjustment and collection of insurance
proceeds shall become part of the Debt and be secured hereby and shall be
reimbursed by Borrower to Lender upon demand.
7.1.2 CASUALTY AND APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS.
(a) In case of loss or damages covered by any of the Policies, the
following provisions shall apply:
(i) If an Insured Casualty does not exceed $100,000, Borrower
may settle and adjust any claim without the consent of Lender; provided
that such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner. In
such case, Borrower is hereby authorized to collect and receipt for any
such insurance proceeds.
(ii) If an Insured Casualty shall exceed $100,000, Borrower
may settle and adjust such claim with Lender's consent, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that such settlement and
adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner), and Borrower
may agree (subject to such consent by Lender) with the insurance company or
companies on the amount to be paid on the loss; provided, however that if
at the time of the Insured Casualty an Event of Default then exists, Lender
may settle and adjust any claim without the consent of Borrower and agree
with the insurance company or companies on the amount to be paid on the
loss. In any event described in this subparagraph (ii), the proceeds of
any such policy shall be due and payable solely to Lender and held in
escrow by Lender in accordance with the terms hereof.
(b) In the event of an Insured Casualty where the loss is in an
aggregate amount less than $1,000,000, and if, in the reasonable judgment
of Lender, the Property can be restored within twelve (12) months and prior
to the maturity of the Note to an economic unit not less valuable and not
less useful than the same was prior to the Insured Casualty, and after such
restoration will adequately secure the Debt, then, if no Default or Event
of Default shall have occurred and be then continuing, the proceeds of
insurance (after reimbursement of any expenses incurred by Lender) shall be
applied to reimburse Borrower for the cost of restoring, repairing,
replacing or rebuilding the Parcel or part thereof subject to the Insured
Casualty (the "Restoration"), in the manner set forth herein. Borrower
hereby covenants and agrees to commence and diligently to prosecute such
Restoration; provided that (i) Borrower shall pay all costs (and if
required by Lender, Borrower shall deposit the total thereof with Lender in
advance) of such Restoration in excess of the net proceeds of insurance
made available pursuant to the terms hereof; (ii) the Restoration shall be
done in compliance with all Legal Requirements; and (iii) Lender shall have
received evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that, during the period of
the Restoration, the sum of (A) income derived from the Property, as
reasonably determined by Lender, plus (B) proceeds of rent loss insurance
or business interruption insurance, if any, to be paid will equal or exceed
the sum of (I) expenses in connection with the operation of the Property
and (II) the debt service on the Loan.
(c) Except as provided above, the proceeds of insurance collected
upon any Insured Casualty ("Insurance Proceeds") shall, at the option of
Lender in its sole discretion, be applied to the payment of the Debt or
applied to reimburse Borrower for the cost of any Restoration, in the
manner set forth below. Any application of Insurance Proceeds to the Debt
shall include any applicable Casualty Return-of-Amount. Any such
application to the Debt shall be without any prepayment consideration,
other than payment of any applicable Return-of-Amount, except that if an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time the insurance
proceeds are received, then Borrower shall pay to Lender an additional
amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium, if any, that would be
required under Section 2.3.7 hereof if a Defeasance Deposit was to be made
by Borrower. Any such application to the Debt shall be applied to those
payments of principal and interest last due under the Note but shall not
postpone or reduce any payments otherwise required pursuant to the Note
other than such last due payments.
(d) If Borrower is entitled to reimbursement out of insurance
proceeds held by Lender, such proceeds shall be deposited by Lender into
the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount and disbursed from time to time from
the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount upon Lender being furnished with (1)
evidence satisfactory to it of the estimated cost of completion of the
Restoration, (2) funds or, at Lender's option, assurances satisfactory to
Lender that such funds are available, sufficient in addition to the
proceeds of insurance to complete the proposed Restoration, (3) such
architect's certificates, waivers of lien, contractor's sworn statements,
title insurance endorsements, bonds, plats of survey and such other
evidences of cost, payment and performance as Lender may reasonably require
and approve, and (4) all plans and specifications for such Restoration,
such plans and specifications to be approved by Lender prior to
commencement of any work. In addition, no payment made prior to the final
completion of the Restoration shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the
value of the work performed from time to time; funds other than proceeds of
insurance shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such proceeds; and at
all times, the undisbursed balance of such proceeds remaining in the hands
of Lender, together with funds deposited for that purpose or irrevocably
committed to the satisfaction of Lender by or on behalf of Borrower for
that purpose, shall be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of
Lender to pay for the cost of completion of the Restoration, free and clear
of all liens or claims for lien. Any surplus which may remain out of
insurance proceeds held by Lender after payment of such costs of
Restoration shall be paid to Borrower.
7.1.3 CONDEMNATION.
(a) Borrower shall promptly give Lender written notice of the
actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain
proceeding affecting the Property (a "Condemnation") and shall deliver to
Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such
Condemnation. Following the occurrence of a Condemnation, Borrower,
regardless of whether an Award is available, shall promptly proceed to
restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property to the extent practicable
to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as
prior to such Condemnation, all to be effected in accordance with Legal
Requirements.
(b) Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower's attorney-
in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect, receive
and retain any award or payment in respect of a Condemnation (an "Award")
and to make any compromise or settlement in connection with such
Condemnation, subject to the provisions of this Section. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, (i) if an Award is reasonably expected not to exceed
$100,000, Borrower may compromise and settle any such Award without the
consent of Lender; provided that such compromise and settlement is carried
out in a competent and timely manner, and (ii) if an Award is reasonably
expected to exceed $100,000, Borrower may compromise and settle such Award
with Lender's consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed
(provided that such compromise and settlement is carried out in a competent
and timely manner); provided, however, that if at the time of the
Condemnation an Event of Default then exists, Lender may settle and
compromise any Award without the consent of Borrower. Notwithstanding any
Condemnation by any public or quasi-public authority (including any
transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of such a Condemnation),
Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner
provided for in the Note, in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
and the Debt shall not be reduced unless and until any Award shall have
been actually received and applied by Lender to expenses of collecting the
Award and to discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the
interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be
entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided
in the Note. Borrower shall cause any Award that is payable to Borrower to
be paid directly to Lender.
(c) In the event of any Condemnation where the Award is in an
aggregate amount less than $1,000,000, and if, in the reasonable judgment
of Lender, the Property can be restored within twelve (12) months and prior
to maturity of the Note to an economic unit not less valuable and not less
useful than the same was prior to the Condemnation, and after such
restoration will adequately secure the Debt, then, if no Default or Event
of Default shall have occurred and be then continuing, the proceeds of the
Award (after reimbursement of any expenses incurred by Lender) shall be
applied to reimburse Borrower for the cost of restoring, repairing,
replacing or rebuilding the Property or part thereof subject to
Condemnation (the "Condemnation Restoration") in the manner set forth
below. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees to commence and diligently to
prosecute such Condemnation Restoration; provided that (i) Borrower shall
pay all costs (and if required by Lender, Borrower shall deposit the total
thereof with Lender in advance) of such Condemnation Restoration in excess
of the Award made available pursuant to the terms hereof; (ii) the
Condemnation Restoration shall be done in compliance with all Legal
Requirements; and (iii) Lender shall have received evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it that, during the period of the Condemnation Restoration,
the sum of (A) income derived from the Property, as reasonably determined
by Lender, plus (B) proceeds of rent loss insurance or business
interruption insurance, if any, to be paid will equal or exceed the sum of
(I) expenses in connection with the operation of the Property and (II) the
debt service on the Loan.
(d) Except as provided above, the Award collected upon any
Condemnation shall, at the option of Lender in its sole discretion, be
applied to the payment of the Debt or applied to reimburse Borrower for the
cost of the Condemnation Restoration in the manner set forth below. Any
application of an Award to the Debt shall be accompanied by the applicable
Condemnation Return-of-Amount. Any such application to the Debt shall be
without any prepayment consideration, other than any applicable Return-of-
Amount, except that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
at the time the Award is received, then Borrower shall pay to Lender an
additional amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium, if any, that
would be required under Section 2.3.7 hereof if a Defeasance Deposit was to
be made by Borrower. Any such application to the Debt shall be applied to
those payments of principal and interest last due under the Note but shall
not postpone or reduce any payments otherwise required pursuant to the Note
other than such last due payments. If the Property is sold, through
foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of such Award,
Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the
Note shall be recoverable or shall have been sought, recovered or denied,
to receive all or a portion of said Award sufficient to pay the Debt.
(e) In the event Borrower is entitled to reimbursement out of the
Award received by Lender, such proceeds shall be disbursed from time to
time upon Lender being furnished with (1) evidence satisfactory to it of
the estimated cost of completion of the Condemnation Restoration, (2) funds
or, at Lender's option, assurances satisfactory to Lender that such funds
are available, sufficient in addition to the proceeds of the Award to
complete the Condemnation Restoration, (3) such architect's certificates,
waivers of lien, contractor's sworn statements, title insurance
endorsements, bonds, plats of survey and such other evidences of costs,
payment and performance as Lender may reasonably require and approve; and
(4) all plans and specifications for such Condemnation Restoration, such
plans and specifications to be approved by Lender prior to commencement of
work. In addition: (i) no payment made prior to the final completion of
the restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding shall exceed ninety
percent (90%) of the value of the work performed from time to time; (ii)
funds other than proceeds of the Award shall be disbursed prior to
disbursement of such proceeds; and (iii) at all times, the undisbursed
balance of such proceeds remaining in the hands of Lender, together with
funds deposited for that purpose or irrevocably committed to the
satisfaction of Lender by or on behalf of Borrower for that purpose, shall
be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of Lender to pay for the
costs of completion of the Condemnation Restoration free and clear of all
liens or claims for lien. Any surplus which may remain out of the Award
received by Lender after payment of such costs of restoration, repair,
replacement or rebuilding and after payment to the Borrower of any
remaining amounts which were deposited pursuant to clause (2) above shall,
in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender, be retained by Lender and
applied to payment of the Debt.

and interest in and to the Required Repair Fund and the Required Repair
Account. Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent
of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the

Borrower all Required Repair Funds in the Required Repair Account upon
satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions: (a) Borrower
shall submit a written request for payment to Lender at least twenty (20)
days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made
(except in the case of an emergency repair which requires immediate

ten (10) days), (b) on the date such request is received by Lender and on
the date such payment is to be made, no Default or Event of Default shall
exist and remain uncured, (c) Lender shall have received an Officer's
Certificate from Borrower certifying that all Required Repairs for that

by any Governmental Authority for the use or occupancy of the Property, (d)
Lender shall have received an Officer's Certificate from Borrower (i)

copy of appropriate lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory
to Lender, (e) at Lender's option, a title search for the Property
indicating that the Property is free from all liens, claims and other
encumbrances not previously approved by Lender, and (f) Lender shall have
received such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the
Required Repairs at the Property have been completed and paid for. Lender
shall be required to make only one disbursement per month from the Required
Repair Account and such disbursement shall be made only upon satisfaction
of each condition contained in this Section 7.2.3. Upon completion of all
Required Repairs in accordance with the terms hereof, Lender shall disburse
to Borrower any amounts then remaining in the Required Repair Account.
7.2.4 FAILURE TO PERFORM REQUIRED REPAIRS. It shall be a default
under this Agreement if (a) Borrower does not complete the Required Repairs

at its option, may withdraw all Required Repair Funds from the Required
Repair Account and Lender may apply such funds either to completion of the
Required Repairs at the Property or toward payment of the Debt in such
order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole
discretion. Lender's right to withdraw and apply Required Repair Funds
shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

7.3.1 TAX AND INSURANCE ESCROW FUND. Borrower shall pay to Lender
on each Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates
will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to
accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least
thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, less any amounts
which are to be paid by a tenant directly to the taxing authorities
pursuant to the terms of a Lease, and (b) one-twelfth of the Insurance
Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the
coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to
accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums
at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (the
amounts required to be paid on a monthly basis as provided in (a) and (b)
above hereinafter called the "Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund Payments," and
the aggregate amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund Payments which
are held by Lender at any time is defined as the "Tax and Insurance Escrow
Fund"). The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund Payments, and the payments of
interest or principal or both, payable pursuant to the Note, shall be added
together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender.
Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes
and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Sec-
tion 5.1 hereof and under the Mortgage, or to reimburse Borrower for such
amounts upon presentation of evidence of payment and an Officer's
Certificate in form and substance satisfactory to Lender; subject, however,
to Borrower's right to contest Taxes in accordance with Section 5.1(b)
hereof. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow
Fund, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate
procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or
insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into
the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of
any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof.
If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts
required in Lender's judgment for the payment of Taxes and Insurance
Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole
discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against
future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. In
allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the
records of Lender to be the owner of the Property. If at any time Lender
determines that the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund Payments
must be increased to pay the items set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender
shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its
monthly Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund Payments to Lender by the amount that
Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty
(30) days prior to delinquency of the Taxes and/or expiration of the
Policies, as the case may be.

and grants a security interest to Lender, as security for payment of all

to be paid and performed, of all Borrower's right, title and interest in
and to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Borrower shall not, without
obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or

Lender's name at a financial institution selected by Lender in its sole
discretion and shall be invested in Permitted Investments. Earnings or
interest, if any, thereon shall be retained as part of such funds and
applied in accordance with this Section 7.3. Lender shall not be liable
for any loss sustained on the investment of any funds constituting the Tax
and Insurance Escrow Fund.
Section 7.4 CAPITAL RESERVE FUND.

amount of the Capital Reserve Fund Payments held by Lender at any time are
defined as the "Capital Reserve Fund"). Lender will apply the Capital
Reserve Fund to payment of Capital Expenses, Approved Leasing Expenses and
any Operating Expenses consisting of maintenance and repair items pursuant

accelerated or if there is an Event of Default which is continuing, then
Lender may credit such Capital Reserve Fund against the Debt in such
priority and proportions as Lender in its sole and absolute discretion
shall deem proper. If the amount of the Capital Reserve Fund shall in
Lender's judgment exceed the amounts due for Approved Capital Expenses

security interest in the Capital Reserve Fund, or permit any lien or
encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1
Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to
be filed with respect thereto. This Agreement is, among other things,
intended by the parties to be a security agreement for purposes of the
Illinois Uniform Commercial Code.

If the Approved Leasing Expenses actually incurred by Borrower in re-
leasing the entire space covered by any terminated Lease are less than the
amount of any termination payment paid by the former tenant with respect to
such termination, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, upon request by Borrower, Lender shall refund to Borrower an
amount equal to such difference.

or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against Borrower
and the Property, including all rights or remedies available at law or in

whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable,
and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding
or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of

singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order
as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights
and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth
herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing
(i) Lender is not subject to any "one action" or "election of remedies" law
or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges
provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has
exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Mortgage have
been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the
Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b) Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially
foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured by the
Mortgage then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole
discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i)
in the event Borrower defaults in the payment of one or more scheduled
payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the applicable
Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender
elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of
the Loan, Lender may foreclose a Mortgage to recover so much of the
principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate. Notwithstanding
one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the
Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not
previously recovered.
(c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note
and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and
other security documents in such denominations as Lender shall determine in
its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and
remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender
from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance
agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to
effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely
and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled
with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents
necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower
ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof.
(d) Any application of proceeds of the exercise of Lender's
remedies under this Article to repayment of the Debt shall be accompanied
by the applicable Event of Default Return-of-Amount.
Section 8.3 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. The rights, powers and remedies of
Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any
other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower
pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law
or in equity or otherwise. Lender's rights, powers and remedies may be
pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order
as Lender may determine in Lender's sole discretion. No delay or omission
to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default
shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a
waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from
time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one
Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed
to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or
to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
ARTICLE _8K SPECIAL PROVISIONS
-------------------------------
Section 9.1 SALE OF NOTE AND SECURITIZATION. Lender shall have the
right to dispose of the Loan, the Note, and the Loan Documents, whether in
connection with a Secondary Market Transaction or otherwise, with no

the Note and, to the extent not already required to be provided by Borrower
under this Agreement, Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to satisfy the
market standards to which the holder of the Note customarily adheres or
which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating
Agencies in connection with the sale of the Note or participation therein

through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of independent attorneys
acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
(b) at Lender's expense, cause counsel to render opinions in form
customary for securitization transactions as to non-consolidation,
fraudulent conveyance, and true sale or any other opinion customary in
securitization transactions with respect to the Property and Borrower and
its affiliates, which counsel and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory
to the holder of the Note and the Rating Agencies;
(c) make such representations and warranties as of the closing date
of the Securitization with respect to the Property, Borrower, and the Loan
Documents as are customarily provided in securitization transactions and as

Agencies and consistent with the facts covered by such representations and
warranties as they exist on the date thereof, including the representations
and warranties made in the Loan Documents; and
(d) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents and Borrower's
organizational documents, enter into a lock-box or similar arrangement with
respect to the Rents and establish and fund such reserve funds (including
reserve funds for deferred maintenance and capital improvements) as may be
requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies or otherwise to
effect the Securitization, provided, that nothing contained in this
subsection (d) shall result in a material economic change in the
transaction.
Section 9.2 SECURITIZATION INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) Borrower understands that certain of the Provided Information
and the Required Records may be included in disclosure documents in
connection with the Securitization, including a prospectus or private
placement memorandum (each, a "Disclosure Document") and may also be
included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or
provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the
Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the
Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure Document is required to
be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, upon request from the
holder of the Note, Borrower will cooperate with the holder of the Note in
updating the Provided Information or Required Reports for inclusion or
summary in the Disclosure Document by providing all current information
pertaining to Borrower and the Properties necessary to keep the Disclosure
Document accurate and complete in all material respects with respect to
such matters.
(b) In connection with each of (i) a preliminary and a private
placement memorandum or (ii) a preliminary and final prospectus, as
applicable, Borrower agrees to provide an indemnification certificate:
(A) certifying that Borrower has carefully examined those
portions of such memorandum or prospectus, as applicable, pertaining to
Borrower, the Property and the Loan including applicable portions of the
sections entitled "Special Considerations", "Description of the Mortgage",
"Description of the Mortgage Loan and Property", "The Manager", "The
Borrower" and "Certain Legal Aspects of the Mortgage Loan", and such
sections (and any other sections reasonably requested and pertaining to
Borrower, the Property or the Loan) do not contain any untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make
the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading;
(B) indemnifying Lender and the affiliate of Nomura
Securities International, Inc. ("Nomura"), that has filed the registration
statement relating to the securitization (the "Registration Statement"),
each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the
Registration Statement and each person or entity who controls Nomura within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 30 of the
Exchange Act of 1933, as amended (collectively, the "Nomura Group"), and
Nomura, each of its directors and each person who controls Nomura, within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the
Exchange Act (collectively, the "Underwriter Group") for any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (the "Liabilities") to which Lender, the
Nomura Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the
Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any
material fact based on information provided by Borrower and contained in
the applicable portions of such sections applicable to Borrower, the
Manager, the Property or the Loan, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to
be stated in the applicable portions of such sections or necessary in order
to make the statements in the applicable portions of such sections or in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
provided that such indemnification shall not extend to or include
Liabilities for the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of any of the
indemnified parties; and
(C) agreeing to reimburse Lender and Nomura for any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender and Nomura in connection with
investigating or defending the Liabilities. Borrower's Liability under
clauses (A) or (B) above shall be limited to Liabilities arising out of or
based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance
upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by or on behalf
of Borrower in connection with the preparation of those portions of the
memorandum or prospectus pertaining to Borrower, the Property or the Loan
or in connection with the underwriting of the debt, including financial
statements of Borrower, operating statements, rent rolls, environmental
site assessment reports and property condition reports with respect to the
Properties. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability
which Borrower may otherwise have.
(c) In connection with filings under the Exchange Act, Borrower
agrees to (i) indemnify Lender, the Nomura Group and the Underwriter Group
for any Liabilities to which Lender, the Nomura Group or the Underwriter
Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are
based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Provided
Information or Required Records a material fact required to be stated in
the Provided Information or Required Records in order to make the
statements in the Provided Information or Required Records, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made not misleading and (ii) reimburse
Lender or Nomura for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
Lender and Nomura in connection with defending or investigating the
Liabilities.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Sec-
tion 9.2 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified
party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
indemnifying party under this Section 9.2, notify the indemnifying party in
writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the
indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any
liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party
hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to
the indemnifying party. In the event that any action is brought against
any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with
any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent
that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified
party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified
party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such
indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such
indemnified party under this Section 9.2 for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the
defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided,
however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified
party and the indemnifying party shall have reasonably concluded that there
are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties
that are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right
to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise
participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified
party or parties. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for the
expenses of more than one separate counsel unless there are legal defenses
available to it that are different from or additional to those available to
another indemnified party.
(e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Sec-
tion 9.2(b) or (c) is for any reason held to be unenforceable by an
indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be
indemnifiable under Section 9.2(b) or 9.2(c), the indemnifying party shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a
result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect
thereof); provided, however, that no person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities
Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty
of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of
contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following
factors shall be considered: (i) the Nomura Group's and Borrower's
relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with
respect to which claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and
prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable
considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and Borrower
hereby agree that it may not be equitable if the amount of such
contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.
Section 9.3 RATING SURVEILLANCE. Lender will retain the Rating
Agencies to provide rating surveillance services on any certificates issued
in a Securitization. The pro rata share of such rating surveillance will
be at the expense of Lender.
Section 9.4 EXCULPATION. Subject to the qualifications below,
Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to
perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement,
the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding
wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower or any Owner,
except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific
performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender
to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement,
the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, or in the Property, the Rents,
or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, except as specifically provided herein, any
judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against
Borrower or an Owner only to the extent of Borrower's or such Owner's
interest in the Property, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to
Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and
the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not sue for, seek or demand
any deficiency judgment against Borrower or any Owner in any such action or
proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note,
this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents. The provisions
of this section shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or
impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan
Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower or the Owners as
a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under any
Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of or any guaranty made
in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender
thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a
receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of any of the Assignment of Leases;
(f) constitute a prohibition against Lender commencing any other
appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to fully realize the
security granted by the Mortgage or to exercise its remedies against the
Property; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the
liability and obligation of Borrower or the Owners, by money judgment or
otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability,
claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys' fees and
costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the
following:
(i) fraud or material misrepresentation by Borrower, an Owner, or
any guarantor in connection with the Loan;
(ii) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Borrower or an
Owner;
(iii)the breach of any provision in that certain Environmental and
Hazardous Substance Indemnification Agreement of even date herewith given
by Borrower to Lender or in the Mortgage concerning environmental laws,
hazardous substances and asbestos and any indemnification of Lender with
respect thereto in either document;
(iv) the removal or disposal by Borrower or an Owner of any portion
of the Property after an Event of Default, other than in the ordinary
course of business;
(v) the misapplication or conversion by Borrower or an Owner of (A)
any insurance proceeds paid by reason of any loss, damage or destruction to
the Property, (B) any awards or other amounts received in connection with
the condemnation of all or a portion of the Property, or (C) any Rents
following an Event of Default;
(vi) failure to pay charges for labor or materials or other charges
that can create liens on any portion of the Property unless such charges
are the subject of a bona fide dispute in which Borrower or an Owner is
contesting the amount or validity thereof;
(vii)the collection of Rent more than thirty (30) days in advance,
and the failure to deliver to Lender any security deposits collected with
respect to the Property upon a foreclosure of the Property or action in
lieu thereof, except to the extent any such security deposits were applied
in accordance with the terms and conditions of any of the Leases prior to
the occurrence of the Event of Default that gave rise to such foreclosure
or action in lieu thereof;
(viii) the occurrence of any event described in clause (vii) of
Section 8.1 with respect to any Owner; and
(ix) Borrower's indemnification of Lender set forth in Section 9.2.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any of the
Loan Documents, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which
Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other
provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount
of the Debt secured by the Mortgage or to require that all collateral shall
continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the
Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement
or in any of the Loan Documents, the Debt shall be fully recourse to the
Borrower (but not to its members, its managers, or their principals) in the
event that: (i) Borrower fails to obtain Lender's prior written consent to
any subordinate financing or other voluntary lien encumbering the
Properties other than a Permitted Encumbrance; or (ii) Borrower fails to
obtain Lender's prior written consent to any assignment, transfer, or
conveyance of the Property or any interest therein as required by any
Mortgage. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in
any of the Loan Documents, in the event that: (y) the first full monthly
payment of principal and interest under the Note is not paid when due; or
(z) Borrower fails to permit on-site inspections of the Property, fails to
provide financial information, fails to maintain its status as a single
purpose entity or fails to appoint a new property manager upon the request
of Lender after an Event of Default, each as required by, and in accordance
with the terms and provisions of, this Loan Agreement and the Mortgage,
then Lender shall have the right to direct the Clearing Bank and the
Deposit Bank that, until such condition stated in clause (y) or (z) above
has been corrected to Lender's satisfaction, all amounts deposited into
Clearing Account A shall be forwarded to the Deposit Account without any
disbursement to Borrower's Subaccount or to Clearing Account B.
Section 9.5 TERMINATION OF MANAGER. If an Event of Default occurs
and is continuing, Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, terminate the
Management Agreement and replace the Manager with a manager approved by
Lender on terms and conditions satisfactory to Lender.
Section 9.6 RETENTION OF SERVICER. Lender reserves the right to
retain the Servicer to act as its agent hereunder with such powers as are
specifically delegated to the Servicer by Lender, whether pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Deposit
Account Agreement or otherwise, together with such other powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. Borrower shall pay any reasonable fees and
expenses of the Servicer in connection with a Defeasance of the Note,
release of Property, assumption or modification of the Loan or enforcement
of the Loan Documents; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be
required to pay the Servicer's customary periodic fee for servicing the
Loan.

2. certificates of occupancy have been issued and are in effect for

certificates of occupancy invalid or cause them to be revoked. A copy of such
certificates of occupancy for the Project are attached hereto;
3. the Project is zoned __________________ under the laws or

proper for the [here insert brief description of Project] and related

compliance with all these requirements, substitute the following: The Project

(f) Sixth, from and after the Reset Date, payments to Lender to be
applied against Accrued Interest and interest accrued thereon; and
(g) Lastly, payments to Borrower of any excess amounts.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the failure of Borrower to
deposit all Rents into the Deposit Account or to cause funds in the Deposit
Account to be applied other than to the payments required under clauses (a)
through (g) above in the month following the Optional Prepayment Date and
on each Payment Date thereafter shall constitute an Event of Default under
this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
failure of Borrower to make all of the payments required under clauses (a)
through (d) above in full on the Optional Prepayment Date and on each
Payment Date thereafter shall constitute an Event of Default under this
Agreement. However, the failure of Borrower in any month after the Reset
Date to pay items (e) and (f) above, including any Accrued Interest on the
Payment Date in that month, shall not constitute an Event of Default
hereunder unless Borrower has received Rents in that month and applied
those Rents to matters other than the matters listed in clauses (a) through
(f) above, inclusive. All Accrued Interest shall nonetheless be due and
payable on the Maturity Date.
2.2.4 DEFAULT RATE. After the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, the entire outstanding principal balance of the
Loan shall bear interest at the Default Rate, and Lender shall have the
right to accelerate the Maturity Date by declaring the Loan and the Note
immediately due and payable. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates
provided for in this subsection is not a permitted alternative to timely
payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Default or Event of
Default or an amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan Document and
shall not otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Lender.
2.2.5 PROPERTY CASH FLOW ALLOCATION AFTER AN EVENT OF DEFAULT.
After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default,
Lender shall have the right to obtain any amounts held in the Deposit
Account on demand as provided in the Deposit Account Agreement, and Lender
shall have the right to allocate and apply Rents and any amounts held in
the Deposit Account to payment of such matters in connection with the Loan
as Lender may deem appropriate, including interest due on the Note, the
principal balance of the Note, Approved Capital Expenses, Approved Leasing
Expenses, Approved Operating Expenses, or expenses of collection or other
amounts due under any Loan Document.
2.2.6 BUSINESS PURPOSE. The proceeds of the Loan will be used solely
for the purposes specified in Section 205/4, paragraph (1)(c) of Chapter

Section 2.3 LOAN REPAYMENT AND DEFEASANCE.

be subject, in each case, to the satisfaction of the following conditions
precedent:
(i) Borrower shall provide not less than thirty (30) days prior
written notice to Lender specifying a Payment Date (the "Defeasance Date")

is the subject of the Defeasance, Borrower shall execute and deliver all
necessary documents to amend and restate the Note and issue two substitute
notes: one having a principal balance equal to the defeased portion of the
original Note (the "Defeased Note") and one note having a principal balance
equal to the undefeased portion of the original Note (the "Undefeased
Note"). The Defeased Note and Undefeased Note shall have identical terms

(the "Security Agreement").
(ix) Borrower shall deliver an opinion of counsel for Borrower in
form satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion stating, among other
things, that (A) Lender has a perfected first priority security interest in
the Defeasance Deposit and the U.S. Obligations delivered by Borrower and

(x) Lender shall receive evidence in writing from the applicable
Rating Agencies to the effect that such Defeasance will not
result in a reduction, withdrawal or requalification of the ratings in
effect immediately prior to such Defeasance for the Securities issued in
connection with the Securitization which are then outstanding.
(xi) If required by the applicable Rating Agencies, Borrower shall
also deliver or cause to be delivered a non-consolidation opinion with
respect to the Successor Borrower in form and substance satisfactory to

Note, Borrower hereby appoints Lender as its agent and attorney-in-fact for
the purpose of using the Defeasance Deposit to purchase U.S. Obligations
(which purchases, if made by Lender, shall be made by Lender on an arms-
length basis at then prevailing market rates) which provide payments on or
prior to, but as close as possible to, (1) in the case of a Defeasance for
the entire outstanding principal balance of a Note, all payments required
under that Note on successive Payment Dates after the Defeasance Date up to
the Optional Prepayment Date, when the entire outstanding balance and all
accrued interest on such Note shall be paid in full; or (2) in the case of
a Defeasance for only a portion of the outstanding principal balance of a
Note, all payments required under that Defeased Note on successive Payment
Dates after the Defeasance Date up to the Optional Prepayment Date, when
the entire outstanding balance and all accrued interest on such Defeased
Note shall be paid in full (the "Scheduled Defeasance Payments").
Borrower, pursuant to the Security Agreement or other appropriate document,
shall irrevocably authorize and direct that the payments received from the
U.S. Obligations may be made directly to Lender and applied to satisfy the
obligations of Borrower under the Note or the Defeased Note, as applicable.
Any portion of the Defeasance Deposit in excess of the amount necessary to
purchase the U.S. Obligations required by this Section 2.3.3(b) and satisfy
Borrower's obligations under Sections 2.3 or 2.4 shall be remitted to
Borrower. Any amounts received in respect of the U.S. Obligations in
excess of the amounts necessary to make monthly payments pursuant to
Section 2.2 shall be retained by Lender until payment in full of the Loan.
Semi-annual payments in respect of U.S. Obligations shall be applied to
payments under the Note or the Defeased Note, as applicable, as the same
become due thereunder.
(c) If requested by Borrower in connection with any Defeasance
under this Section 2.3.3, NACC shall establish or designate a successor
entity (the "Successor Borrower") and Borrower shall transfer and assign
all obligations, rights and duties under and to the Note or the Defeased
Note, as applicable, together with the pledged U.S. Obligations to such
Successor Borrower. The obligation of NACC to establish or designate a
Successor Borrower shall be retained by NACC notwithstanding the sale or
transfer of this Agreement unless such obligation is specifically assumed
by the transferee. Such Successor Borrower shall assume the obligations
<PAGE>
under the Note or the Defeased Note, as applicable, and the Security
Agreement and Borrower shall be relieved of its obligations thereunder.
Borrower shall pay $1,000 to any such Successor Borrower as consideration
for assuming the obligations under the Note or the Defeased Note, as
applicable, and the Security Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, no other assumption fee shall be payable upon a
transfer of the Note or the Defeased Note in accordance with this Sec-
tion 2.3.3, but Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by
Lender, including Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses,
incurred in connection therewith.
Section 2.4 RELEASE OF PROPERTY. Except as set forth in this Sec-
tion 2.4, no repayment, prepayment or defeasance of all or any portion of

in, the release of the Lien of any of the Mortgages on the Property.
2.4.1 RELEASE OF THE PROPERTY.
(a) If Borrower has elected to defease the Note in its entirety,

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.
(b) PROCEEDINGS. Each Owner 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 each Owner and
constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of each Owner enforceable
against the Owners in accordance with their respective terms, subject 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).
(c) NO CONFLICTS. To the best of Borrower's knowledge, 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 any
Owner pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan
agreement, operating agreement, partnership agreement, trust agreement or
other agreement or instrument to which an Owner is a party or by which an
Owner'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 court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over any
Owner or any of its properties or assets, and any consent, approval,
authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court or

Owners is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any
restriction which might materially adversely affect an Owner or any Parcel

Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in
connection therewith, will in each case create (i) a valid, perfected first
priority lien on the portions of the Property to which such Mortgage
pertains, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by
the Loan Documents and (ii) 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

(xx) Each Owner shall conduct its business so that the assumptions
made with respect to such Owner in that certain substantive consolidation
opinion letter delivered by Borrower's counsel in connection with the Loan
shall be true and correct in all respects.
(xxi) None of the Owners will, without the consent of all members
(including that of the Managing Member, which in turn requires the vote of
an Independent Director): (i) file or consent to the filing of any
bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization case or proceeding; (ii)
institute any proceedings under any applicable insolvency law or otherwise
seek any relief under any laws relating to the relief from debts or the
protection of debtors generally; (iii) seek or consent to the appointment
of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator, custodian or
any similar official for the Borrower or a substantial portion of its
properties; (iv) make any assignment for the benefit of the Borrower's
creditors; (v) dissolve, liquidate or otherwise terminate the legal
existence of any Owner, except as expressly permitted in this Agreement;
(vi) merge with or consolidate into another Person, except as expressly
permitted in this Agreement; (vii) sell or refinance any Parcel, except if
concurrently with the closing of such sale or refinance, the Parcel will be
partially released from the lien of the Mortgages as provided in Section
2.4.3 above; or (viii) take any action in furtherance of any of the
foregoing.
(ee) INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT. None of the Owners is: (i) an
"investment company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment company,"
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; (ii)
a "holding company" or a "subsidiary company" of a "holding company" or an
"affiliate" of either a "holding company" or a "subsidiary company" within
the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended;
or (iii) subject to any other federal or state law or regulation which
purports to restrict or regulate its ability to borrow money.
(ff) FRAUDULENT TRANSFER. None of the Owners has entered into the
Loan or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or
defraud any creditor. Each Owner has received reasonably equivalent value
in exchange for its agreement to pledge its respective portion of the
Property as collateral for the Loan and in exchange for its obligations
under the Loan Documents. Giving effect to the transactions contemplated
by the Loan Documents, the fair saleable value of Borrower's assets equals
or exceeds and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of
the Loan Documents, exceed Borrower's total liabilities, including
subordinated, unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities. The fair
saleable value of Borrower's total assets is and will, immediately
following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, be greater than
Borrower's probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its
contingent liabilities or its debts as such debts become absolute and
matured. Borrower's assets do not and, immediately following the execution
and delivery of the Loan Documents 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 debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other
commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking
into account the timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of
obligations of Borrower).
(gg) MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT. Each Management Agreement is in full
force and effect and there is no default, breach or violation existing
thereunder by any party thereto and no event has occurred (other than
payments due but not yet delinquent) that, with the passage of time or the
giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default, breach or violation
by any party thereunder. Neither the execution and delivery of the Loan
Documents, Borrower's performance thereunder, the recordation of the
Mortgages, nor the exercise of any remedies by Lender, will adversely
affect Borrower's rights under any Management Agreement.
Section 4.2 SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS. Borrower agrees that all
of the representations and warranties of Borrower set forth in Section 4.1
and elsewhere in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents shall
survive for so long as any amount remains owing to Lender under this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by Borrower. All
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made in this
Agreement or in the other Loan Documents by Borrower shall be deemed to
have been relied upon by Lender notwithstanding any investigation
heretofore or hereafter made by Lender or on its behalf.
ARTICLE V. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS
Section 5.1 BORROWER COVENANTS. From the date hereof and until
payment and performance in full of all obligations of Borrower under the
Loan Documents or the earlier release of the Lien of the Mortgages (and all
related obligations) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender
that:
(a) EXISTENCE; COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS; INSURANCE. Each
Owner shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew
and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights, licenses, permits
and franchises and comply with all Legal Requirements applicable to it and
the Property. Each Owner shall at all times maintain, preserve and protect
all franchises and trade names and preserve all the remainder of its
property used or useful in the conduct of its business and shall keep the
Property in good working order and repair, and from time to time make, or
cause to be made, all reasonably necessary repairs, renewals, replacements,
betterments and improvements thereto, all as more fully provided in the
Mortgage. Borrower shall keep the Property insured at all times by
financially sound and reputable insurers, to such extent and against such
risks, and maintain liability and such other insurance, as is more fully
provided in this Agreement.
(b) TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES. Borrower shall pay all Taxes and
Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the
Property or any part thereof as the same become due and payable, except for
those Taxes and Other Charges for which a valid extension for payment has
been duly filed and payment of such Taxes and Other Charges is not required
until the extended deadline (or if payment is required earlier, such
payment has been made). Borrower will deliver to Lender receipts for
payment or other evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes and Other
Charges have been so paid or are not then delinquent on or prior to the
date on which the Taxes and/or Other Charges would otherwise be delinquent
if not paid (provided, however, that Borrower is not required to furnish
such receipts for payment of Taxes in the event that such Taxes have been
paid by Lender pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof). Borrower shall not suffer
and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any lien or charge
whatsoever which may be or become a lien or charge against the Property,
and shall promptly pay for or cause to be paid for all utility services
provided to the Property for which Borrower is responsible. After prior
written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by
appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good
faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in
whole or in part of any Taxes or Other Charges, provided that (i) no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured, (ii) such
proceeding shall suspend the collection of the Taxes or Other Charges from
the Property, (iii) 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,
(iv) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be
in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, canceled or lost, (v)
Borrower shall have furnished such security as may be required in the
proceeding, or as may be requested by Lender, to insure the payment of any
such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all interest and penalties
thereon; and (vi) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof
pay the amount of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all costs,
interest and penalties which may be payable in connection therewith.
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.
(c) LITIGATION. Borrower shall give prompt written notice to
Lender of any litigation or governmental proceedings pending or threatened
against any Owner which might materially adversely affect Borrower's
condition (financial or otherwise) or business or the Property.
(d) PREMISES. Borrower shall permit agents, representatives and
employees of Lender to inspect the Property or any part thereof at
reasonable hours upon reasonable advance notice.
(e) NOTICE OF DEFAULT. Borrower shall promptly advise Lender of
any material adverse change in any Owner's condition, financial or
otherwise, or of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default of which
Borrower has knowledge.
(f) COOPERATE IN LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. Borrower shall cooperate fully
with Lender with respect to any proceedings before any court, board or
other Governmental Authority which may in any way affect the rights of
Lender hereunder or any rights obtained by Lender under any of the other
Loan Documents and, in connection therewith, permit Lender, at its
election, to participate in any such proceedings.
(g) PERFORM LOAN DOCUMENTS. Borrower shall observe, perform and
satisfy all the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of, and shall
pay when due all costs, fees and expenses to the extent required under the
Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower.
(h) INSURANCE BENEFITS. Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in
obtaining for Lender the benefits of any Insurance Proceeds lawfully or
equitably payable in connection with the Property, and Lender shall be
reimbursed for any reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, and the expense of
an appraisal on behalf of Lender in case of a fire or other casualty
affecting the Property or any part thereof) out of such Insurance Proceeds.
(i) FURTHER ASSURANCES. Borrower shall, at Borrower's sole cost
and expense:
(A) furnish to Lender all instruments, documents, boundary
surveys, footing or foundation surveys, certificates, plans and
specifications, appraisals, title and other insurance reports and
agreements, and each and every other document, certificate, agreement and
instrument required to be furnished by it pursuant to the terms of the Loan
Documents or reasonably requested by Lender in connection therewith;
(B) execute and deliver to Lender such documents,
instruments, certificates, assignments and other writings, and do such
other acts necessary or desirable, to evidence, preserve and/or protect the
collateral at any time securing or intended to secure its obligations under
the Loan Documents, as Lender may reasonably require; and
(C) do and execute all and such further lawful and reasonable
acts, conveyances and assurances for the better and more effective carrying
out of the intents and purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, as Lender shall reasonably require from time to time.
(j) SUPPLEMENTAL MORTGAGE AFFIDAVITS. As of the date hereof,
Borrower represents that it has paid all state, county and municipal
recording and all other taxes imposed upon the execution and recordation of
the Mortgages. If at any time Lender determines, based on applicable law,
that Lender is not being afforded the maximum amount of security available
from the Property as a direct or indirect result of applicable taxes not
having been paid with respect to the Property, Borrower agrees that
Borrower will execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lender, immediately upon
Lender's request, supplemental affidavits correctly stating the amount of
the Debt, and Borrower shall, on demand, pay any additional taxes required
to be paid with respect to the Mortgages.
(k) FINANCIAL REPORTING.
(i) Borrower will keep and maintain or will cause to be kept
and maintained on a Fiscal Year basis, in accordance with GAAP, proper and
accurate books, records and accounts reflecting all of the financial
affairs of Banyan and Borrower and all items of income and expense in
connection with the operation of the Property and in connection with any
services, equipment or furnishings provided in connection with the
operation of the Property, whether such income or expense be realized by
Borrower or by any other Person whatsoever, excepting lessees unrelated to
and unaffiliated with Borrower who have leased from Borrower portions of
the Property for the purpose of occupying the same. Lender shall have the
right from time to time at all times during normal business hours upon
reasonable notice (which notice may be simultaneous and telephonic) to
examine such books, records and accounts at the office of Banyan or any
other Person maintaining such books, records and accounts and to make such
copies or extracts thereof as Lender shall desire. After the occurrence of
an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay any costs and expenses incurred by
Lender to examine Banyan's and Borrower's accounting records with respect
to the Property, as Lender shall determine to be necessary or appropriate
in the protection of Lender's interest.
(ii) Borrower will furnish to Lender annually, within one
hundred five (105) days following the end of each Fiscal Year of each
Owner, a complete copy of Banyan's annual consolidated financial statements
audited by a "big six" accounting firm or another independent certified
public accountant reasonably acceptable to Lender in accordance with GAAP
covering Banyan (including each Owner and all other subsidiaries of Banyan)
for such Fiscal Year and containing balance sheets and statements of profit
and loss for Banyan in such detail as Lender may request. Such statements
shall set forth the financial condition and the income and expenses for
Banyan for the immediately preceding calendar year, including statements of
annual Net Operating Income. Banyan's annual financial statements shall be
accompanied by an Officer's Certificate certifying that each such annual
financial statement presents fairly the financial condition of Banyan (and
the Owners) and has been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Together with
Banyan's annual financial statements, Borrower shall furnish to Lender an
Officer's Certificate certifying, as of the date thereof (x) whether there
exists an event or circumstance which constitutes a Default or Event of
Default under the Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable
to, Borrower, and if such Default or Event of Default exists, the nature
thereof, the period of time it has existed and the action then being taken
to remedy the same, and (y) that the representations and warranties of
Borrower set forth in Section 4.1(dd) are true and correct.
(iii) Borrower will furnish, or cause to be furnished, to
Lender on or before forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar
month or calendar quarter, as the case may be, the following items,
accompanied by an Officer's Certificate certifying that such items are
true, correct, accurate, and complete and fairly present the financial
condition and results of the operations of the Owners and the Property in
accordance with GAAP (subject to normal year end adjustments) as
applicable: (A) on a monthly basis, monthly and year to date operating
statements prepared for each calendar month, noting Net Operating Income
and other information necessary and sufficient under GAAP to fairly
represent the financial position and results of operation of the Properties
during such calendar month, all in form satisfactory to Lender; and (B) on
a quarterly basis, a statement of the actual capital expenditures made by
Borrower during each calendar quarter as of the last day of such calendar
quarter.
(iv) Borrower will furnish, or cause to be furnished, to
Lender as soon as available and in any event on or before forty-five (45)
days after the end of each calendar quarter occupancy rates, rent rolls
(prepared by the Manager of each Parcel on such Manager's standard form of
rent roll) and a delinquency report for the Property and such other
relevant information with respect to the Property as reasonably requested
by the Lender, in each case accompanied by an Officer's Certificate
certifying to the best of such officer's knowledge, that such items are
true, correct, accurate, and complete.
(v) Borrower shall furnish to Lender, within ten (10)
Business Days after request, such further detailed information with respect
to the operation of any of the Property and the financial affairs of
Borrower as may be reasonably requested by Lender or any applicable Rating
Agency, including without limitation, a comparison of the budgeted income
and expenses and the actual income and expenses for each requested period
and year to date for the Property together with a detailed explanation of
any variances of ten percent (10%) or more between budgeted and actual
amounts for such requested period and year to date. The financial
statements, certificates, reports or information required to be furnished
to Lender or its designee by this Section 5.1(k) are referred to as the
"Required Records." If Borrower fails to provide to Lender or its designee
any Required Record within thirty (30) days after the date upon which such
Required Record is due, and if Lender has given at least fifteen (15) days
prior written notice to Borrower of such failure by Borrower to timely
submit the applicable Required Record, then: (y) if such failure is not the
result of willful misconduct or gross negligence, then Borrower shall pay
to Lender, at Lender's option and in its sole discretion, an amount equal
to Five Hundred Dollars ($500) for each Required Record that is not
delivered; or (z) if such failure is the result of willful misconduct or
gross negligence, then Lender shall direct the Deposit Bank to make no
further disbursements to the Borrower's Subaccount of the Deposit Account
(as identified in the Deposit Account Agreement) until such Required Record
shall have been delivered.
(l) BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS. Borrower will continue to engage in
the businesses presently conducted by it as and to the extent the same are
necessary for the ownership, maintenance, management and operation of the
Property. Each Owner will qualify to do business and will remain in good
standing under the laws of each jurisdiction as and to the extent the same
are required for the ownership, maintenance, management and operation of
the Property.
(m) TITLE TO THE PROPERTY. Borrower will warrant and defend (i)
the title to the Property and every part thereof, subject only to Liens
permitted under the Loan Documents (including Permitted Encumbrances), and
(ii) the validity and priority of the Lien of the Mortgages, subject only
to Liens permitted under the Loan Documents (including Permitted
Encumbrances), in each case against the claims of all Persons whomsoever.
Borrower shall reimburse Lender for any losses, costs, damages or expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) incurred by Lender
if an interest in the Property, other than as permitted hereunder, is
claimed by another Person.
(n) COSTS OF ENFORCEMENT. In the event (i) that a Mortgage is
foreclosed in whole or in part or is put into the hands of an attorney for
collection, suit, action or foreclosure, (ii) of the foreclosure of any
mortgage prior to or subsequent to a Mortgage encumbering the Property in
which proceeding Lender is made a party, or (iii) of the bankruptcy,
insolvency, rehabilitation or other similar proceeding in respect of
Borrower or an assignment by Borrower for the benefit of its creditors,
Borrower, its successors or assigns, shall be chargeable with and agrees to
pay all reasonable costs of collection and defense, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses in connection therewith and in connection with
any appellate proceeding or post-judgment action involved therein, which
shall be due and payable together with all required service or use taxes.
(o) Estoppel Statement.
(i) After request by Lender, Borrower shall within ten (10)
days furnish Lender with a statement, duly acknowledged and certified,
setting forth (A) the unpaid principal amount of the Note, (B) the Interest
Rate of the Note, (C) the date installments of interest and/or principal
were last paid, (D) any offsets or defenses to the payment of the Debt, if
any, and (E) whether the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages and the other
Loan Documents are valid, legal and binding obligations and have not been
modified or if modified, giving particulars of such modification.
(ii) After request by Lender (but no more frequently than one
(1) time in any calendar year), Borrower shall within ten (10) days furnish
Lender with a certificate reaffirming all representations and warranties of
Borrower set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents as of the date
requested by Lender or, to the extent of any changes to any such
representations and warranties, so stating such changes.
(iii) After request by Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender
tenant estoppel certificates from each tenant at the Property in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender provided that Borrower shall
not be required to deliver such certificates more frequently than one (1)
time in any calendar year or more frequently than may be permitted by the
terms of any Lease.
(p) LOAN PROCEEDS. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan
received by it on the Closing Date only for the purposes set forth in Sec-
tion 2.1.4.
(q) PERFORMANCE BY BORROWER. Borrower shall in a timely manner
observe, perform and fulfill each and every covenant, term and provision of
each Loan Document executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower,
and shall not enter into or otherwise suffer or permit any amendment,
waiver, supplement, termination or other modification of any Loan Document
executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower without the prior
written consent of Lender.
(r) ANNUAL BUDGET. Borrower shall prepare and submit (or shall
cause Manager to prepare and submit) to Lender by December 15 of each year
during the Term a proposed pro forma budget for the Property during the
succeeding fiscal year commencing January 1 and ending December 31 (the
"Annual Budget") and, promptly after preparation thereof, any subsequent
revisions to such Annual Budget. The Annual Budget shall consist of (a) an
operating expense budget (the "Operating Budget") showing, on a
month-by-month basis, in reasonable detail, each line item of the
Borrower's anticipated income and Operating Expenses (on an accrual basis),
including amounts required to establish, maintain and/or increase reserves,
and (b) a Capital Expense Budget (the "Capital Budget") showing, on an
annual basis, in reasonable detail, each line item of anticipated Capital
Expenses. A copy of the Annual Budget for the period commencing on the
date hereof and ending on December 31, 1998 is attached hereto as Exhibit
C. From and after the occurrence of a Cash Management Event, the Capital
Budget shall be subject to Lender's approval, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. Lender's failure to approve or
disapprove any Capital Budget within thirty (30) days after Lender's
receipt thereof shall be deemed to constitute Lender's approval thereof.
Following the Optional Prepayment Date, the Operating Budget shall be
subject to Lender's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. Lender's failure to approve or disapprove any
Operating Budget within thirty (30) days after Lender's receipt thereof
shall be deemed to constitute Lender's approval thereof. Following the
Optional Prepayment Date, Borrower shall make no expenditure related to the
Property in excess of one hundred five percent (105%) of the amount
budgeted for that expenditure without Lender's prior approval, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(s) CONFIRMATION OF REPRESENTATIONS. In addition to and not in
limitation of the covenants and agreements of Borrower contained in Sec-
tion 7.1, Borrower shall deliver, in connection with any Secondary Market
Transaction, and not more than two (2) times in any calendar year, (i) one
or more Officer's Certificates certifying as to the accuracy of all
representations made by Borrower in the Loan Documents as of the date of
the closing of such Secondary Market Transaction in all relevant
jurisdictions, and (ii) certificates of the relevant Governmental
Authorities in all relevant jurisdictions indicating the good standing and
qualification of Borrower as of the date of the Secondary Market
Transaction.
(t) NO JOINT ASSESSMENT. Borrower shall not suffer, permit or
initiate the joint assessment of the Property (i) with any other real
property constituting a tax lot separate from the Property, and (ii) with
any portion of the Property which may be deemed to constitute personal
property, or any other procedure whereby the lien of any taxes which may be
levied against such personal property shall be assessed or levied or
charged to the Property.
(u) LEASING MATTERS. Borrower shall not, without Lender's prior
written consent, enter into, modify, amend or renew any Lease of space
located in any Parcel for which annual rental exceeds $100,000 (a "Major
Lease") except in accordance with leasing parameters approved by Lender
from time to time; provided, however, that so long as at the time that
Borrower desires to enter into, modify, amend or renew any Lease, the Debt
Service Coverage Ratio (which for purposes of this subsection (u) shall be
calculated by using a definition of Operating Expenses that does not
include the adjustments described in the last grammatical paragraph of the
definition of "Operating Expenses," but rather includes a fixed adjustment
of $281,876) for the Property is equal to or greater than 1.65 to 1.0,
Lender's consent to any such Lease, modification, amendment or renewal
shall not be required. Lender's failure to approve or disapprove any
proposed Lease, modification, amendment or renewal for which Lender's
approval is required within five (5) business days after Lender's receipt
thereof shall be deemed to constitute Lender's approval thereof. Upon
request, Borrower shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Leases,
and modifications, amendments or renewals thereof. All proposed Leases
shall be on commercially reasonable terms and shall not contain any terms
which would materially adversely affect Lender's rights under the Loan
Documents. All Leases executed after the date hereof shall provide that
they are subordinate to the Mortgage encumbering the applicable portion of
the Property and that the lessee agrees to attorn to Lender. Borrower (i)
shall observe and perform in all material respects the obligations imposed
upon the lessor under the Leases; (ii) shall enforce the terms, covenants
and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the lessee
thereunder to be observed or performed, except to the extent that any such
non-enforcement by an Owner is the result of such Owner acting in the
ordinary course of business as a prudent operator of property similar to
the applicable Parcel; (iii) shall not collect any of the rents more than
one (1) month in advance (other than security deposits); (iv) shall not
execute any other assignment of lessor's interest in the Leases or the
Rents (except as contemplated by the Loan Documents); (v) shall not alter,
modify or change the terms of the Leases in a manner inconsistent with the
provisions of the Loan Documents; and (vi) shall execute and deliver at the
request of Lender all such further assurances, confirmations and
assignments in connection with the Leases as Lender shall from time to time
reasonably require.
(v) PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS. Borrower shall not change its
principal place of business set forth on the first page of this Agreement
without first giving Lender thirty (30) days prior written notice.
(w) Management Agreement. Borrower shall cause each Parcel to be
operated pursuant to the Management Agreement applicable thereto. Borrower
shall:
(i) promptly perform and/or observe in all material respects
all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed and observed
by it under each Management Agreement and do all things necessary to
preserve and to keep unimpaired its material rights thereunder;
(ii) promptly notify Lender of any default under any Management
Agreement of which it is aware; and
(iii) promptly enforce the performance and observance in all
material respects of all of the covenants and agreements required to be
performed and/or observed by the Manager under each Management Agreement.
ARTICLE VI. NEGATIVE COVENANTS
Section 6.1 BORROWER'S NEGATIVE COVENANTS. From the date hereof
until payment and performance in full of all obligations of Borrower under
the Loan Documents or the earlier release of the Liens of the Mortgages in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender that it will not do, directly or
indirectly, any of the following:
(b) OPERATION OF PROPERTIES. Borrower shall not, without Lender's
prior consent: (i) surrender, terminate or cancel the Management Agreement
or otherwise replace the Manager of any Parcel or enter into any other
management agreements with respect to the Property (except pursuant to
Section 9.5); provided, however that so long as no Event of Default then
exists, Borrower shall have the right to surrender, terminate or cancel any
Management Agreement or otherwise replace any Manager so long as the fee
payable to the replacement Manager is not greater than 5% of the gross
rents payable to the Owner of the applicable Parcel and the replacement
Manager executes and delivers to Lender a consent agreement in form and
substance substantially identical to the one theretofore furnished by the
Manager being replaced; (ii) reduce or consent to the reduction of the term
of the Management Agreement, except to the extent that any Owner is acting
in the ordinary course of business as a prudent operator of property
similar to the applicable Parcel; (iii) increase or consent to the increase
of the amount of any charges under the Management Agreement which would
result in the management fee payable to any Manager exceeding 5% of the
gross rents payable to the Manager of the applicable Parcel; or
(iv) otherwise modify, change, supplement, alter or amend, or waive or
release any of its rights and remedies under the Management Agreement in
any material respect, except to the extent that any Owner is acting in the
ordinary course of business as a prudent operator of property similar to
the applicable Parcel. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided
in this Agreement or in any Loan Document, Lender shall not unreasonably
withhold its consent to a request that Borrower shall pay a third party
Manager, which shall not be an Affiliate of Borrower, a management fee in
excess of 5% of the gross rents of a Parcel if the fee paid to the third
party Manager is reasonably determined by Lender to be a market rate fee
and if the portion of such fee which exceeds 5% of the gross rents from a
Parcel consists of incentive payments.
(b) LIENS. Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent
of Lender, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any portion
of any of the Property or permit any such action to be taken, except (3)
Permitted Encumbrances, (4) Liens created by or permitted pursuant to the
Loan Documents and (iii) Liens for Taxes or Other Charges not yet due.
(c) DISSOLUTION. Neither Managing Member nor any Owner shall
dissolve, terminate, liquidate, merge with or consolidate into another
Person, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any Owner that no
longer owns title to a Parcel that is encumbered by the Mortgages, by
reason of a full defeasance of the Note pursuant to Section 2.4.1 above or
by reason of such Parcel having become a Replaced Parcel pursuant to
Section 2.4.3 above.
(d) CHANGE IN BUSINESS. None of the Owners shall enter into any
line of business other than the ownership and operation of the Property, or
make any material change in the scope or nature of its business objectives,
purposes or operations, or undertake or participate in activities other
than the continuance of its present business.
(e) DEBT CANCELLATION. None of the Owners shall cancel or
otherwise forgive or release any claim or debt owed to such Owner by any
Person, except for adequate consideration and in the ordinary course of
Borrower's business in its reasonable judgment.
(f) AFFILIATE TRANSACTIONS. Except for loans made from Banyan in
the ordinary course of Banyan's business to any Owner for the payment of
customary and ordinary Operating Expenses and Capital Expenses advanced by
Banyan on behalf of such Owner, none of the Owners shall enter into, or be
a party to, any transaction with an Affiliate of an Owner or any of the
members of an Owner except in the ordinary course of business and on terms
which are fully disclosed to Lender in advance and are no less favorable to
the Owner or such Affiliate than would be obtained in a comparable
arm's-length transaction with an unrelated third party.
(g) ZONING. None of the Owners shall initiate or consent to any
zoning reclassification of any portion of any of the Property or seek any
variance under any existing zoning ordinance or use or permit the use of
any portion of any of the Property in any manner that could result in such
use becoming a non-conforming use under any zoning ordinance or any other
applicable land use law, rule or regulation, without the prior consent of
Lender.
(h) ASSETS. None of the Owners shall purchase or own any
properties other than the Property.
(i) DEBT. None of the Owners shall create, incur or assume any
debt other than the Debt and other than Permitted Indebtedness.
(j) TRANSFERS. None of the Owners shall, without the prior written
consent of Lender, cause, participate in, suffer or permit the sale,
mortgage, option, assignment or transfer of or conveyance of any interest
in any of the following (a "Transfer"), unless such Transfer otherwise
would qualify as a Permitted Transfer: (i) all or any part of the Property;
(ii) any direct interest in an Owner; (iii) any direct interest in the
Managing Member; and (iv) the interests of Banyan/Morgan in either of the
Owners.
(k) PERMITTED TRANSFERS. Each of the following Transfers is
referred to herein as a "Permitted Transfer":
(i) Any transfer of an interest in an Owner shall be a
Permitted Transfer if the following conditions are satisfied: (A) the
interest is not the interest owned by the Managing Member in Owner or any
interest in the Managing Member; (B) the amount of interests in an Owner

(49.99%) of the interests in any Owner, then Borrower must provide a
substantive consolidation opinion of counsel addressing such transfer which
opinion must be acceptable to the Rating Agencies.

7.1.1 INSURANCE.
(a) Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, for the mutual benefit
of Borrower and Lender, shall keep the Property insured and obtain and

damage by standard, "all-risk" perils. Such insurance (i) shall be in an
amount equal to the greatest of (A) the then full replacement cost of the
Property without deduction for physical depreciation, (B) the outstanding
principal balance of the Loan, and (C) such amount that the insurer would
not deem Borrower a co-insurer under said policies, and (ii) and shall have
deductibles no greater than five percent (5%) of the full replacement cost
of the Property. The policies of insurance carried in accordance with this
paragraph shall be paid quarterly in advance and shall contain a
"Replacement Cost Endorsement" with a waiver of depreciation.
(b) Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, for the mutual benefit
of Borrower and Lender, shall also obtain and maintain during the Term the
following policies of insurance:
(i) Flood insurance for the Flood Zone Property and for any
other part of the Property which may be located in an area identified by
the Federal Emergency Management Agency as an area having special flood
hazards and in which flood insurance has been made available under the

which this subsection is applicable, the amount of flood insurance shall be
in an amount equal to the maximum limit of coverage available with respect
to the Property under said program.
(ii) Comprehensive public liability insurance, including broad
form property damage, blanket contractual and personal injuries (including
death resulting therefrom) coverages and containing minimum limits per
occurrence of $1,000,000 and $2,000,000 in the aggregate for any policy
year. In addition, at least $10,000,000 excess and/or umbrella liability
insurance shall be obtained and maintained for any and all claims,
including all legal liability imposed upon Borrower and all court costs and
attorneys' fees incurred in connection with the ownership, operation and
maintenance of the Property.
(iii) Rental loss and/or business interruption insurance in an
amount equal to the greater of (A) the estimated gross revenues from the
operations of the Property for the next succeeding twelve (12) month period
or (B) the projected operating expenses (including debt service) for the
maintenance and operation of the Property for the next succeeding twelve
(12) month period. The amount of such insurance shall be increased from
time to time during the Term as and when the Rents increase or the estimate
of (or the actual) gross revenue, as may be applicable, increases.
(iv) Insurance against loss or damage from (A) leakage of
sprinkler systems and (B) explosion of steam boilers, air conditioning
equipment, high pressure piping, machinery and equipment, pressure vessels
or similar apparatus now or hereafter installed in any of the Improvements
(without exclusion for explosions), in an amount at least equal to
$2,000,000 for the Property.
(v) Worker's compensation insurance with respect to any
employees of Borrower, as required by any governmental authority or legal

value of the Property against such risks (including fire and extended
coverage and collapse of the Improvements to agreed limits) as Lender may
request, in form and substance acceptable to Lender.
(vii) Coverage to compensate for the cost of demolition and the
increased cost of construction for the Property in an amount satisfactory
to Lender.
(viii) Such other insurance, including earthquake
insurance, as may from time to time be reasonably required by Lender in
order to protect its interests.
(c) All policies of insurance (the "Policies") required pursuant to
this Section 7.1.1 (i) shall be issued by companies approved by Lender and
licensed to do business in the State, with a minimum claims paying ability
rating of "Aq" by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group or "AX" by Best's, except
that for any earthquake insurance, a minimum claims paying ability rating
of "BBB" by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group is acceptable; (ii) shall name
Lender and its successors and/or assigns as their interest may appear as
the mortgagee; (iii) shall contain a Non-Contributory Standard Lender
Clause and a Lender's Loss Payable Endorsement, or their equivalents,
naming Lender as the person to which all payments made by such insurance
company shall be paid; (iv) shall contain a waiver of subrogation against
Lender; (v) shall be maintained throughout the Term without cost to Lender;
(vi) shall be assigned and the originals thereof delivered to Lender; (vii)
shall contain such provisions as Lender deems reasonably necessary or
desirable to protect its interest including endorsements providing that
neither Borrower, Lender nor any other party shall be a co-insurer under
said Policies and that Lender shall receive at least thirty (30) days prior
written notice of any modification, reduction or cancellation of any of the
Policies; and (viii) shall be satisfactory in form and substance to Lender
and shall be approved by Lender as to amounts, form, risk coverage,
deductibles, loss payees and insureds. Borrower shall pay the premiums for
such Policies (the "Insurance Premiums") as the same become due and payable
and shall furnish to Lender evidence of the renewal of each of the Policies
with receipts for the payment of the Insurance Premiums or other evidence
of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender (provided, however, that
Borrower is not required to furnish such evidence of payment to Lender if
such Insurance Premiums have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 7.3
hereof). If Borrower does not furnish such evidence and receipts at least
thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any expiring Policy, then
Lender may procure, but shall not be obligated to procure, such insurance
and pay the Insurance Premiums therefor, and Borrower agrees to reimburse
Lender for the cost of such Insurance Premiums promptly on demand. Within
thirty (30) days after request by Lender, Borrower shall obtain such
increases in the amounts of coverage required hereunder as may be
reasonably requested by Lender, taking into consideration changes in the
value of money over time, changes in liability laws, changes in prudent
customs and practices, and the like.
(d) If any portion of the Property is damaged or destroyed, in
whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (an "Insured Casualty"),
Borrower shall give prompt notice thereof to Lender. Following the
occurrence of an Insured Casualty, Borrower, regardless of whether
insurance proceeds are available, shall promptly proceed to restore,
repair, replace or rebuild the affected Parcel to be of at least equal
value and of substantially the same character as prior to such damage or
destruction, all to be effected in accordance with Legal Requirements. The
expenses incurred by Lender in the adjustment and collection of insurance
proceeds shall become part of the Debt and be secured hereby and shall be
reimbursed by Borrower to Lender upon demand.
7.1.2 CASUALTY AND APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS.
(a) In case of loss or damages covered by any of the Policies, the
following provisions shall apply:
(i) If an Insured Casualty does not exceed $100,000, Borrower
may settle and adjust any claim without the consent of Lender; provided
that such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner. In
such case, Borrower is hereby authorized to collect and receipt for any
such insurance proceeds.
(ii) If an Insured Casualty shall exceed $100,000, Borrower
may settle and adjust such claim with Lender's consent, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that such settlement and
adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner), and Borrower
may agree (subject to such consent by Lender) with the insurance company or
companies on the amount to be paid on the loss; provided, however that if
at the time of the Insured Casualty an Event of Default then exists, Lender
may settle and adjust any claim without the consent of Borrower and agree
with the insurance company or companies on the amount to be paid on the
loss. In any event described in this subparagraph (ii), the proceeds of
any such policy shall be due and payable solely to Lender and held in
escrow by Lender in accordance with the terms hereof.
(b) In the event of an Insured Casualty where the loss is in an
aggregate amount less than $1,000,000, and if, in the reasonable judgment
of Lender, the Property can be restored within twelve (12) months and prior
to the maturity of the Note to an economic unit not less valuable and not
less useful than the same was prior to the Insured Casualty, and after such
restoration will adequately secure the Debt, then, if no Default or Event
of Default shall have occurred and be then continuing, the proceeds of
insurance (after reimbursement of any expenses incurred by Lender) shall be
applied to reimburse Borrower for the cost of restoring, repairing,
replacing or rebuilding the Parcel or part thereof subject to the Insured
Casualty (the "Restoration"), in the manner set forth herein. Borrower
hereby covenants and agrees to commence and diligently to prosecute such
Restoration; provided that (i) Borrower shall pay all costs (and if
required by Lender, Borrower shall deposit the total thereof with Lender in
advance) of such Restoration in excess of the net proceeds of insurance
made available pursuant to the terms hereof; (ii) the Restoration shall be
done in compliance with all Legal Requirements; and (iii) Lender shall have
received evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that, during the period of
the Restoration, the sum of (A) income derived from the Property, as
reasonably determined by Lender, plus (B) proceeds of rent loss insurance
or business interruption insurance, if any, to be paid will equal or exceed
the sum of (I) expenses in connection with the operation of the Property
and (II) the debt service on the Loan.
(c) Except as provided above, the proceeds of insurance collected
upon any Insured Casualty ("Insurance Proceeds") shall, at the option of
Lender in its sole discretion, be applied to the payment of the Debt or
applied to reimburse Borrower for the cost of any Restoration, in the
manner set forth below. Any application of Insurance Proceeds to the Debt
shall include any applicable Casualty Return-of-Amount. Any such
application to the Debt shall be without any prepayment consideration,
other than payment of any applicable Return-of-Amount, except that if an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time the insurance
proceeds are received, then Borrower shall pay to Lender an additional
amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium, if any, that would be
required under Section 2.3.3 hereof if a Defeasance Deposit was to be made
by Borrower. Any such application to the Debt shall be applied to those
payments of principal and interest last due under the Note but shall not
postpone or reduce any payments otherwise required pursuant to the Note
other than such last due payments.
(d) If Borrower is entitled to reimbursement out of insurance
proceeds held by Lender, such proceeds shall be deposited by Lender into
the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount and disbursed from time to time from
the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount upon Lender being furnished with (1)
evidence satisfactory to it of the estimated cost of completion of the
Restoration, (2) funds or, at Lender's option, assurances satisfactory to
Lender that such funds are available, sufficient in addition to the
proceeds of insurance to complete the proposed Restoration, (3) such
architect's certificates, waivers of lien, contractor's sworn statements,
title insurance endorsements, bonds, plats of survey and such other
evidences of cost, payment and performance as Lender may reasonably require
and approve, and (4) all plans and specifications for such Restoration,
such plans and specifications to be approved by Lender prior to
commencement of any work. In addition, no payment made prior to the final
completion of the Restoration shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the
value of the work performed from time to time; funds other than proceeds of
insurance shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such proceeds; and at
all times, the undisbursed balance of such proceeds remaining in the hands
of Lender, together with funds deposited for that purpose or irrevocably
committed to the satisfaction of Lender by or on behalf of Borrower for
that purpose, shall be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of
Lender to pay for the cost of completion of the Restoration, free and clear
of all liens or claims for lien. Any surplus which may remain out of
insurance proceeds held by Lender after payment of such costs of
Restoration shall be paid to Borrower.
7.1.3 CONDEMNATION.
(a) Borrower shall promptly give Lender written notice of the
actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain
proceeding affecting the Property (a "Condemnation") and shall deliver to
Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such
Condemnation. Following the occurrence of a Condemnation, Borrower,
regardless of whether an Award is available, shall promptly proceed to
restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property to the extent practicable
to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as
prior to such Condemnation, all to be effected in accordance with Legal
Requirements.
(b) Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower's attorney-
in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect, receive
and retain any award or payment in respect of a Condemnation (an "Award")
and to make any compromise or settlement in connection with such
Condemnation, subject to the provisions of this Section. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, (i) if an Award is reasonably expected not to exceed
$100,000, Borrower may compromise and settle any such Award without the
consent of Lender; provided that such compromise and settlement is carried
out in a competent and timely manner, and (ii) if an Award is reasonably
expected to exceed $100,000, Borrower may compromise and settle such Award
with Lender's consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed
(provided that such compromise and settlement is carried out in a competent
and timely manner); provided, however, that if at the time of the
Condemnation an Event of Default then exists, Lender may settle and
compromise any Award without the consent of Borrower. Notwithstanding any
Condemnation by any public or quasi-public authority (including any
transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of such a Condemnation),
Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner
provided for in the Note, in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
and the Debt shall not be reduced unless and until any Award shall have
been actually received and applied by Lender to expenses of collecting the
Award and to discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the
interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be
entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided
in the Note. Borrower shall cause any Award that is payable to Borrower to
be paid directly to Lender.
(c) In the event of any Condemnation where the Award is in an
aggregate amount less than $1,000,000, and if, in the reasonable judgment
of Lender, the Property can be restored within twelve (12) months and prior
to maturity of the Note to an economic unit not less valuable and not less
useful than the same was prior to the Condemnation, and after such
restoration will adequately secure the Debt, then, if no Default or Event
of Default shall have occurred and be then continuing, the proceeds of the
Award (after reimbursement of any expenses incurred by Lender) shall be
applied to reimburse Borrower for the cost of restoring, repairing,
replacing or rebuilding the Property or part thereof subject to
Condemnation (the "Condemnation Restoration") in the manner set forth
below. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees to commence and diligently to
prosecute such Condemnation Restoration; provided that (i) Borrower shall
pay all costs (and if required by Lender, Borrower shall deposit the total
thereof with Lender in advance) of such Condemnation Restoration in excess
of the Award made available pursuant to the terms hereof; (ii) the
Condemnation Restoration shall be done in compliance with all Legal
Requirements; and (iii) Lender shall have received evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it that, during the period of the Condemnation Restoration,
the sum of (A) income derived from the Property, as reasonably determined
by Lender, plus (B) proceeds of rent loss insurance or business
interruption insurance, if any, to be paid will equal or exceed the sum of
(I) expenses in connection with the operation of the Property and (II) the
debt service on the Loan.
(d) Except as provided above, the Award collected upon any
Condemnation shall, at the option of Lender in its sole discretion, be
applied to the payment of the Debt or applied to reimburse Borrower for the
cost of the Condemnation Restoration in the manner set forth below. Any
application of an Award to the Debt shall be accompanied by the applicable
Condemnation Return-of-Amount. Any such application to the Debt shall be
without any prepayment consideration, other than any applicable Return-of-
Amount, except that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
at the time the Award is received, then Borrower shall pay to Lender an
additional amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium, if any, that
would be required under Section 2.3.3 hereof if a Defeasance Deposit was to
be made by Borrower. Any such application to the Debt shall be applied to
those payments of principal and interest last due under the Note but shall
not postpone or reduce any payments otherwise required pursuant to the Note
other than such last due payments. If the Property is sold, through
foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of such Award,
Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the
Note shall be recoverable or shall have been sought, recovered or denied,
to receive all or a portion of said Award sufficient to pay the Debt.
(e) In the event Borrower is entitled to reimbursement out of the
Award received by Lender, such proceeds shall be disbursed from time to
time upon Lender being furnished with (1) evidence satisfactory to it of
the estimated cost of completion of the Condemnation Restoration, (2) funds
or, at Lender's option, assurances satisfactory to Lender that such funds
are available, sufficient in addition to the proceeds of the Award to
complete the Condemnation Restoration, (3) such architect's certificates,
waivers of lien, contractor's sworn statements, title insurance
endorsements, bonds, plats of survey and such other evidences of costs,
payment and performance as Lender may reasonably require and approve; and
(4) all plans and specifications for such Condemnation Restoration, such
plans and specifications to be approved by Lender prior to commencement of
work. In addition: (i) no payment made prior to the final completion of
the restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding shall exceed ninety
percent (90%) of the value of the work performed from time to time; (ii)
funds other than proceeds of the Award shall be disbursed prior to
disbursement of such proceeds; and (iii) at all times, the undisbursed
balance of such proceeds remaining in the hands of Lender, together with
funds deposited for that purpose or irrevocably committed to the
satisfaction of Lender by or on behalf of Borrower for that purpose, shall
be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of Lender to pay for the
costs of completion of the Condemnation Restoration free and clear of all
liens or claims for lien. Any surplus which may remain out of the Award
received by Lender after payment of such costs of restoration, repair,
replacement or rebuilding and after payment to the Borrower of any
remaining amounts which were deposited pursuant to clause (2) above shall,
in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender, be retained by Lender and
applied to payment of the Debt.
Section 7.2 REQUIRED REPAIR; REQUIRED REPAIR FUNDS.
7.2.1 REQUIRED REPAIRS: DEPOSITS. Borrower shall perform the repairs
at the Property set forth on SCHEDULE 2 annexed hereto (the "Required
Repairs"). Borrower shall complete each of the Required Repairs on or
before the deadline for same set forth on SCHEDULE 2. On the Closing Date,
Borrower shall deposit with Lender the amount set forth on SCHEDULE 2
hereto to perform the Required Repairs for the Property. Amounts so

in an account (the "Required Repair Account") in Lender's name at a
financial institution selected by Lender in its sole discretion and shall
be invested in Permitted Investments.
7.2.2 GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. Borrower hereby pledges, assigns
and grants a security interest to Lender, as security for payment of all
sums due in respect of the Loan and the performance of all other terms,
conditions and covenants of the Loan Documents and this Agreement on
Borrower's part to be paid and performed, all of Borrower's right, title
and interest in and to the Required Repair Fund and the Required Repair
Account. Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent
of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the
Required Repair Fund or the Required Repair Account or permit any lien or
encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-l
Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to
be filed with respect thereto.
7.2.3 Release of Required Repair Funds. Lender shall disburse to
Borrower all Required Repair Funds in the Required Repair Account upon
satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions: (a) Borrower
shall submit a written request for payment to Lender at least twenty (20)
days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made
(except in the case of an emergency repair which requires immediate
attention, in which event Borrower may submit such payment request within
ten (10) days), (b) on the date such request is received by Lender and on
the date such payment is to be made, no Default or Event of Default shall
exist and remain uncured, (c) Lender shall have received an Officer's
Certificate from Borrower certifying that all Required Repairs for that
Parcel have been completed (i) in a good and workmanlike manner, and (ii)
in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements, such certificate to
be accompanied by a copy of each license, permit or other approval required
by any Governmental Authority for the use or occupancy of the Property, (d)
Lender shall have received an Officer's Certificate from Borrower (i)
identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with
the Required Repairs performed at that Parcel and (ii) stating that each
such Person has been paid in full, such certificate to be accompanied by a
copy of appropriate lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory
to Lender, (e) at Lender's option, a title search for the Property
indicating that the Property is free from all liens, claims and other
encumbrances not previously approved by Lender, and (f) Lender shall have
received such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the
Required Repairs at the Property have been completed and paid for. Lender
shall be required to make only one disbursement per month from the Required
Repair Account and such disbursement shall be made only upon satisfaction
of each condition contained in this Section 7.2.3. Upon completion of all
Required Repairs in accordance with the terms hereof, Lender shall disburse
to Borrower any amounts then remaining in the Required Repair Account.
7.2.4 FAILURE TO PERFORM REQUIRED REPAIRS. It shall be a default
under this Agreement if (a) Borrower does not complete the Required Repairs
at the Property by the required deadline for each repair as set forth on
SCHEDULE 2, or (b) Borrower does not satisfy each condition contained in
Section 7.2.3 hereof. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender,
at its option, may withdraw all Required Repair Funds from the Required
Repair Account and Lender may apply such funds either to completion of the
Required Repairs at the Property or toward payment of the Debt in such
order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole
discretion. Lender's right to withdraw and apply Required Repair Funds
shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 7.3 TAX AND INSURANCE ESCROW FUND.
7.3.1 TAX AND INSURANCE ESCROW FUND. Borrower shall pay to Lender
on each Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates
will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to
accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least
thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, less any amounts
which are to be paid by a tenant directly to the taxing authorities
pursuant to the terms of a Lease, and (b) one-twelfth of the Insurance
Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the
coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to
accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums
at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (the
amounts required to be paid on a monthly basis as provided in (a) and (b)
above hereinafter called the "Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund Payments," and
the aggregate amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund Payments which
are held by Lender at any time is defined as the "Tax and Insurance Escrow
Fund"). The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund Payments, and the payments of
interest or principal or both, payable pursuant to the Note, shall be added
together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender.
Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes
and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Sec-
tion 5.1 hereof and under the Mortgages, or to reimburse Borrower for such
amounts upon presentation of evidence of payment and an Officer's
Certificate in form and substance satisfactory to Lender; subject, however,
to Borrower's right to contest Taxes in accordance with Section 5.1(b)
hereof. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow
Fund, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate
procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or
insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into
the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of
any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof.
If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts
required in Lender's judgment for the payment of Taxes and Insurance
Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole
discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against
future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. In
allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the
records of Lender to be the owner of the Property. If at any time Lender
determines that the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund Payments
must be increased to pay the items set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender
shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its
monthly Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund Payments to Lender by the amount that
Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty
(30) days prior to delinquency of the Taxes and/or expiration of the
Policies, as the case may be.
7.3.2 GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. Borrower hereby pledges, assigns
and grants a security interest to Lender, as security for payment of all
sums due under the Loan and the performance of all other terms, conditions
and provisions of the Loan Documents and this Agreement on Borrower's part
to be paid and performed, of all Borrower's right, title and interest in
and to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Borrower shall not, without
obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or
grant any security interest in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, or permit
any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon,
or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the
secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.
7.3.3 APPLICATION OF TAX AND INSURANCE ESCROW FUND. Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may apply any sums then present
in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to the payment of the following items
in any order in its sole discretion: (a) Taxes and Other Charges;
(b) Insurance Premiums; (c) interest on the unpaid principal balance of the
Note; (d) amortization of the unpaid principal balance of the Note; or (e)
all other sums payable pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall not constitute a trust
fund and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. Sums in the
Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall be held by Lender in an account in
Lender's name at a financial institution selected by Lender in its sole
discretion and shall be invested in Permitted Investments. Earnings or
interest, if any, thereon shall be retained as part of such funds and
applied in accordance with this Section 7.3. Lender shall not be liable
for any loss sustained on the investment of any funds constituting the Tax
and Insurance Escrow Fund.
Section 7.4 CAPITAL RESERVE FUND.
7.4.1 CAPITAL RESERVE FUND. Borrower shall pay to Lender on each
Payment Date an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the product
obtained by multiplying $.22 by the aggregate amount of square feet of
rentable space in the Property (the monthly amounts to be paid are
hereinafter called the "Capital Reserve Fund Payments," and the aggregate
amount of the Capital Reserve Fund Payments held by Lender at any time are
defined as the "Capital Reserve Fund"). Lender will apply the Capital
Reserve Fund to payment of Capital Expenses, Approved Leasing Expenses and
any Operating Expenses consisting of maintenance and repair items pursuant
to the terms hereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, if the Loan shall have been
accelerated or if there is an Event of Default which is continuing, then
Lender may credit such Capital Reserve Fund against the Debt in such
priority and proportions as Lender in its sole and absolute discretion
shall deem proper. If the amount of the Capital Reserve Fund shall in
Lender's judgment exceed the amounts due for Approved Capital Expenses
pursuant to the terms hereof, Lender shall, in its discretion, return any
excess to Borrower or, if future Capital Reserve Fund payments are then
required, credit such excess against such future payments; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, if the Loan shall have been accelerated or if there is an Event of
Default which is continuing, then Lender may credit such excess against the
Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender in its sole and absolute
discretion shall deem proper.
7.4.2 GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. Borrower hereby pledges, assigns
and grants a security interest to Lender, as security for payment of all
sums due under the Loan and the performance of all other terms, conditions
and provisions of the Loan Documents and this Agreement on Borrower's part
to be paid and performed, of all Borrower's right, title and interest in
and to the Capital Reserve Fund. Borrower shall not, without obtaining the
prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any
security interest in the Capital Reserve Fund, or permit any lien or
encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1
Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to
be filed with respect thereto. This Agreement is, among other things,
intended by the parties to be a security agreement for purposes of the
Illinois Uniform Commercial Code.
7.4.3 APPLICATION OF CAPITAL RESERVE FUND. Upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default, Lender may apply any sums then present in the Capital
Reserve Fund to the payment of the following items in any order in its sole
discretion: (a) Capital Expenses; (b) interest on the unpaid principal
balance of the Note; (c) amortization of the unpaid principal balance of
the Note; or (d) all other sums payable pursuant to this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents. The Capital Reserve Fund shall not constitute a
trust fund and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. Sums in
the Capital Reserve Fund shall be held by Lender in an account in Lender's
name at a financial institution selected by Lender in its sole discretion
and shall be invested in Permitted Investments. Earnings or interest, if
any, thereon shall be retained as part of such funds and applied in
accordance with this Section 7.4. Lender shall not be liable for any loss
sustained on the investment of any funds constituting the Capital Reserve
Fund.
7.4.4 PAYMENT OF CAPITAL EXPENSES. Funds held in the Capital
Reserve Fund may be used for Approved Capital Expenses. From time to time,
Borrower may send a request for disbursement of funds in the Capital
Reserve Fund, but not more than one (1) time per month and, to the extent
there are sufficient funds available in the Capital Reserve Fund, such dis-
bursements shall be made by Lender so long as (A) no Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing; (B) such expenditure is for an Approved
Capital Expense; and (C) the request for disbursement is accompanied by (1)
an Officer's Certificate certifying (v) the amount of funds to be
disbursed, (w) that such funds will be used to pay Approved Capital
Expenses and a description thereof, (x) that the same has not been the
subject of a previous disbursement, (y) that all outstanding trade payables
(other than those to be paid from the requested disbursement or those
otherwise which constitute Permitted Indebtedness) have been paid in full,
and (z) that all previous disbursements have been used to pay the
previously identified Approved Capital Expenses, and (2) reasonably
detailed documentation as to the amount, necessity and purpose therefor.
Section 7.5 ROLLOVER RESERVE FUND.
7.5.1 ROLLOVER RESERVE FUND. If at any time during the Term,
Borrower receives a payment from a Tenant in connection with the
termination or compromise of a Lease, Borrower shall deposit such amount
into the Deposit Account to be forwarded to a fund to be held by Lender and
applied as provided herein (the "the Rollover Reserve Fund").
7.5.2 ROLLOVER RESERVE FUND-LEASE TERMINATION PAYMENTS. Lender will
apply the Rollover Reserve Fund to payment of Approved Leasing Expenses
pursuant to the terms hereof. If the Approved Leasing Expenses actually
incurred by Borrower in re-leasing the entire space covered by any
terminated Lease are less than the amount of any termination payment paid
by the former tenant with respect to such termination, so long as no Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon request by Borrower,
Lender shall refund to Borrower an amount equal to such difference.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Loan shall have been accelerated or
if there is an Event of Default which is continuing, then Lender may credit
such Rollover Reserve Fund against the Debt in such priority and
proportions as Lender in its sole and absolute discretion shall deem
proper.
7.5.3 GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. Borrower hereby pledges, assigns
and grants a security interest to Lender, as security for payment of all
sums due under the Loan and the performance of all other terms, conditions
and provisions of the Loan Documents and this Agreement on Borrower's part
to be paid and performed, of all Borrower's right, title and interest in
and to the Rollover Reserve Fund. Borrower shall not, without obtaining
the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any
security interest in the Rollover Reserve Fund, or permit any lien or
encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1
Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to
be filed with respect thereto. This Agreement is, among other things,
intended by the parties to be a security agreement for purposes of the
Illinois Uniform Commercial Code.
7.5.4 APPLICATION OF ROLLOVER RESERVE FUND. Upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default, Lender may apply any sums then present in the Rollover
Reserve Fund and/or to the payment of the following items in any order in
its sole discretion: (a) Approved Leasing Expenses; (b) interest on the
unpaid principal balance of the Note; (c) amortization of the unpaid
principal balance of the Note; or (d) all other sums payable pursuant to
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Rollover Reserve Fund
shall not constitute a trust fund and may be commingled with other monies
held by Lender. Sums in the Rollover Reserve Fund shall be held by Lender
in the Deposit Account and shall be invested in Permitted Investments.
Earnings or interest, if any, thereon shall be retained as part of such
funds and applied in accordance with this Section 7.5.4 Lender shall not
be liable for any loss sustained on the investment of any funds
constituting the Rollover Reserve Fund.
7.5.5 PAYMENT OF APPROVED LEASING EXPENSES. Funds held in the
Rollover Reserve Fund may be used for Approved Leasing Expenses. From time
to time, Borrower may send a request for disbursement of funds in the
Rollover Reserve Fund, but not more than one (1) time per month and, to the
extent there are sufficient funds available in the Rollover Reserve Fund,
such disbursements shall be made by Lender so long as (A) no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (B) such expenditure is for
an Approved Leasing Expense; and (C) the request for disbursement is
accompanied by (1) an Officer's Certificate certifying (v) the amount of
funds to be disbursed, (w) that such funds will be used to pay Approved
Leasing Expenses and a description thereof, (x) that all outstanding trade
payables (other than those to be paid from the requested disbursement or
those otherwise permitted to be outstanding under Section 6.1(i) hereof)
have been paid in full, (y) that the same has not been the subject of a
previous disbursement, and (z) that all previous disbursements have been
used to pay the previously identified Approved Leasing Expenses, and (2) if
requested by Lender, reasonably detailed supporting documentation as to the
amount, necessity and purpose therefor.
Section 7.6 SECURITY DEPOSITS.
7.6.1 SECURITY DEPOSIT FUND. Borrower is not required to
reserve deposits made with respect to Leases with the Clearing Bank unless
either the terms of the Lease under which the security deposit was made or
applicable law requires that the security deposit be segregated (such
deposits are referred to as "Security Deposits"). As provided in the
Clearing Account Agreement, Borrower shall establish a deposit account
referred to as the "Security Deposit Account."
7.6.2 GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. Borrower hereby pledges,
assigns and grants a security interest to Lender, as security for payment
of all sums due under the Loan and the performance of all other terms,
conditions and provisions of the Loan Documents and this Agreement on
Borrower's part to be paid and performed, of all Borrower's right, title
and interest in and to the Security Deposit Account. Borrower shall not,
without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge,
assign or grant any security interest in the Security Deposit Account, or
permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made
thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as
the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. With respect to the
Security Deposit Account, this Agreement is, among other things, intended
by the parties to be a security agreement for purposes of the Illinois
Uniform Commercial Code.
7.6.3 APPLICATION OF SECURITY DEPOSIT ACCOUNT. Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may apply any sums then present
in the Security Deposit Account to the payment of amounts due from the
tenant under the Lease with respect to which the security deposit was
applied; provided, however, that Lender's application of such amounts to
that Lease must be in accordance with the terms of the Lease. To the
extent permitted by applicable law, any interest accruing on the Security
Deposit Account shall inure to the benefit of Borrower. Unless an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such interest shall be
disbursed to Borrower monthly.
7.6.4 PAYMENT OF SECURITY DEPOSIT ACCOUNT AMOUNTS. Funds held
in the Security Deposit Account may be used for amounts to be paid with
respect to the Lease under which the security deposit was made. From time
to time, Borrower may send a request for disbursement of funds in the
Security Deposit Account, and, to the extent there are sufficient funds
available in the Security Deposit Account, such disbursements shall be made
by Lender so long as (A) the particular security deposit which the Borrower
seeks to apply has not been fully disbursed; and (B) the request for
disbursement is accompanied by an Officer's Certificate certifying the
amount of funds to be disbursed, that such funds will be used to pay
amounts due under the Lease and a description thereof, that the use of the
funds is in accordance with the terms of the Lease and with applicable law.
Any funds remaining in the Security Deposit Account after the debt has been
paid in full shall be remitted to the Borrower.

financial statement or other instrument, agreement or document furnished by
Borrower or any Owner in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, shall be false or misleading in any material respect as of the
date the representation or warranty was made and the effect of such false
or misleading representation is not cured to Lender's satisfaction within
thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Lender to Borrower;
(vii) if any Owner shall make an assignment for the benefit of

(xi) if an Event of Default as defined or described in the Note, any

from Lender, in the case of any Default which can be cured by the payment
of a sum of money, or for thirty (30) days after notice from Lender in the
case of any other Default; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if such non-monetary
Default is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such
30-day period and provided further that Borrower shall have commenced to
cure such Default within such 30-day period and thereafter diligently and
expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, such 30-day period shall be
extended for an additional period of time as is reasonably necessary for
Borrower in the exercise of due diligence to cure such Default, such
additional period not to exceed sixty (60) days.
(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event
of Default described in clauses (vii), (viii) or (ix) above) and at any
time thereafter Lender may, in addition to any other rights or remedies
available to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or
at law or in equity, Lender may take such action, without notice or demand,
that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against
Borrower and in and to the Property, including declaring the Debt to be
immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any
or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against Borrower
and the Property, including all rights or remedies available at law or in
equity; and upon any Event of Default described in clauses (vii), (viii) or
(ix) above, the Debt and all other obligations of Borrower hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become
due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly
waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other
Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
(c) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may apply
any amounts held in the Deposit Account and any amounts otherwise received
by Lender to such purposes under the Loan Documents as Lender may elect,
including payment of interest or principal on the Note. In the event
Lender accelerates the Maturity Date of the Note following the occurrence
of an Event of Default, Borrower shall be required to pay a yield
maintenance premium with respect to the Note equal to that Yield
Maintenance Premium which Borrower would have been required to pay as part
of Borrower's Defeasance Deposit if Borrower had elected to cause a
voluntary Defeasance of the Note under Section 2.3.3 of this Agreement as
of the date to which the Maturity Date is accelerated, and the amount of
such yield maintenance premium as determined by Lender shall be due under
this Agreement and shall be secured by the Mortgages.
Section 8.2 REMEDIES.
(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or
more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to
Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law
or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time,
whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable,
and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding
or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of
the Loan Documents with respect to the Property. Any such actions taken by
Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently,
singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order
as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights
and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth
herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing
(i) Lender is not subject to any "one action" or "election of remedies" law
or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges
provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has
exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Mortgages have
been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the
Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b) Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially
foreclose any of the Mortgages in any manner and for any amounts secured by
such Mortgages then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole
discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i)
in the event Borrower defaults in the payment of one or more scheduled
payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the applicable
Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender
elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of
the Loan, Lender may foreclose a Mortgage to recover so much of the
principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate. Notwithstanding
one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the
Mortgages to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgages and not
previously recovered.
(c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note
and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and
other security documents in such denominations as Lender shall determine in
its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and
remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender
from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance
agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to
effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely
and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled
with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents
necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower
ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof.
(d) Any application of proceeds of the exercise of Lender's
remedies under this Article to repayment of the Debt shall be accompanied
by the applicable Event of Default Return-of-Amount.
Section 8.3 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. The rights, powers and remedies of
Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any
other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower
pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law
or in equity or otherwise. Lender's rights, powers and remedies may be
pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order
as Lender may determine in Lender's sole discretion. No delay or omission
to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default
shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a
waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from
time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one
Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed
to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or
to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
ARTICLE IX SPECIAL PROVISIONS
Section 9.1 SALE OF NOTE AND SECURITIZATION. Lender shall have the
right to dispose of the Loan, the Note, and the Loan Documents, whether in
connection with a Secondary Market Transaction or otherwise, with no
requirement of consent from the Borrower. At the request of the holder of
the Note and, to the extent not already required to be provided by Borrower
under this Agreement, Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to satisfy the
market standards to which the holder of the Note customarily adheres or
which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating
Agencies in connection with the sale of the Note or participation therein
or the first successful securitization (such sale and/or securitization,
the "Securitization") of rated single or multi-class securities (the
"Securities") secured by or evidencing ownership interests in the Note and
the Mortgages, including:
(a) (i) provide such financial and other information with
respect to the Property, Borrower and its affiliates, the Manager and any
tenants of the Property, (ii) provide business plans and budgets relating
to the Property and (iii) to perform or permit or cause to be performed or
permitted such site inspection, appraisals, market studies, environmental

as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating
Agencies or as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the
Securitization (the "Provided Information"), together, if customary, with
appropriate verification and/or consents of the Provided Information
through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of independent attorneys
acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
(b) at Lender's expense, cause counsel to render opinions in form
customary for securitization transactions as to non-consolidation,
fraudulent conveyance, and true sale or any other opinion customary in
securitization transactions with respect to the Property and Borrower and
its affiliates, which counsel and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory
to the holder of the Note and the Rating Agencies;
(c) make such representations and warranties as of the closing date
of the Securitization with respect to the Property, Borrower, and the Loan
Documents as are customarily provided in securitization transactions and as
may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating
Agencies and consistent with the facts covered by such representations and
warranties as they exist on the date thereof, including the representations
and warranties made in the Loan Documents; and
(d) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents and Borrower's
organizational documents, enter into a lock-box or similar arrangement with
respect to the Rents and establish and fund such reserve funds (including
reserve funds for deferred maintenance and capital improvements) as may be
requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies or otherwise to
effect the Securitization, provided, that nothing contained in this
subsection (d) shall result in a material economic change in the
transaction.
Section 9.2 SECURITIZATION INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) Borrower understands that certain of the Provided Information
and the Required Records may be included in disclosure documents in
connection with the Securitization, including a prospectus or private
placement memorandum (each, a "Disclosure Document") and may also be
included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or
provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the
Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the
Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure Document is required to
be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, upon request from the
holder of the Note, Borrower will cooperate with the holder of the Note in
updating the Provided Information or Required Reports for inclusion or
summary in the Disclosure Document by providing all current information
pertaining to Borrower and the Properties necessary to keep the Disclosure
Document accurate and complete in all material respects with respect to
such matters.
(b) In connection with each of (i) a preliminary and a private
placement memorandum or (ii) a preliminary and final prospectus, as
applicable, Borrower agrees to provide an indemnification certificate:
(A) certifying that Borrower has carefully examined those
portions of such memorandum or prospectus, as applicable, pertaining to
Borrower, the Property and the Loan including applicable portions of the
sections entitled "Special Considerations", "Description of the Mortgage",
"Description of the Mortgage Loan and Property", "The Manager", "The
Borrower" and "Certain Legal Aspects of the Mortgage Loan", and such
sections (and any other sections reasonably requested and pertaining to
Borrower, the Property or the Loan) do not contain any untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make
the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading;
(B) indemnifying Lender and the affiliate of Nomura
Securities International, Inc. ("Nomura"), that has filed the registration
statement relating to the securitization (the "Registration Statement"),
each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the
Registration Statement and each person or entity who controls Nomura within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 30 of the
Exchange Act of 1933, as amended (collectively, the "Nomura Group"), and
Nomura, each of its directors and each person who controls Nomura, within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the
Exchange Act (collectively, the "Underwriter Group") for any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (the "Liabilities") to which Lender, the
Nomura Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the
Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any
material fact based on information provided by Borrower and contained in
the applicable portions of such sections applicable to Borrower, the
Manager, the Property or the Loan, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to
be stated in the applicable portions of such sections or necessary in order
to make the statements in the applicable portions of such sections or in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
provided that such indemnification shall not extend to or include
Liabilities for the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of any of the
indemnified parties; and
(C) agreeing to reimburse Lender and Nomura for any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender and Nomura in connection with
investigating or defending the Liabilities. Borrower's Liability under
clauses (A) or (B) above shall be limited to Liabilities arising out of or
based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance
upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by or on behalf
of Borrower in connection with the preparation of those portions of the
memorandum or prospectus pertaining to Borrower, the Property or the Loan
or in connection with the underwriting of the debt, including financial
statements of Borrower, operating statements, rent rolls, environmental
site assessment reports and property condition reports with respect to the
Properties. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability
which Borrower may otherwise have.
(c) In connection with filings under the Exchange Act, Borrower
agrees to (i) indemnify Lender, the Nomura Group and the Underwriter Group
for any Liabilities to which Lender, the Nomura Group or the Underwriter
Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are
based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Provided
Information or Required Records a material fact required to be stated in
the Provided Information or Required Records in order to make the
statements in the Provided Information or Required Records, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made not misleading and (ii) reimburse
Lender or Nomura for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
Lender and Nomura in connection with defending or investigating the
Liabilities.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Sec-
tion 9.2 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified
party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
indemnifying party under this Section 9.2, notify the indemnifying party in
writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the
indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any
liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party
hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to
the indemnifying party. In the event that any action is brought against
any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with
any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent
that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified
party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified
party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such
indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such
indemnified party under this Section 9.2 for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the
defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided,
however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified
party and the indemnifying party shall have reasonably concluded that there
are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties
that are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right
to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise
participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified
party or parties. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for the
expenses of more than one separate counsel unless there are legal defenses
available to it that are different from or additional to those available to
another indemnified party.
(e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Sec-
tion 9.2(b) or (c) is for any reason held to be unenforceable by an
indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be
indemnifiable under Section 9.2(b) or 9.2(c), the indemnifying party shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a
result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect
thereof); provided, however, that no person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities
Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty
of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of
contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following
factors shall be considered: (i) the Nomura Group's and Borrower's
relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with
respect to which claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and
prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable
considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and Borrower
hereby agree that it may not be equitable if the amount of such
contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.
Section 9.3 RATING SURVEILLANCE. Lender will retain the Rating
Agencies to provide rating surveillance services on any certificates issued
in a Securitization. The pro rata share of such rating surveillance will
be at the expense of Lender.
Section 9.4 EXCULPATION. Subject to the qualifications below,
Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to
perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement,
the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding
wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower or any Owner,
except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific
performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender
to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement,
the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, or in the Property, the Rents,
or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, except as specifically provided herein, any
judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against
Borrower or an Owner only to the extent of Borrower's or such Owner's
interest in the Property, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to
Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages
and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not sue for, seek or
demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower or any Owner in any such
action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with
the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents. The
provisions of this section shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver,
release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the
Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower or the
Owners as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale
under any Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of or any
guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies
of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the
appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of any of the
Assignments of Leases; (f) constitute a prohibition against Lender
commencing any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender
to fully realize the security granted by the Mortgage or to exercise its
remedies against the Property; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of
Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower or the Owners,
by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost,
expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including
attorneys' fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in
connection with the following:
(i) fraud or material misrepresentation by Borrower, an Owner, or
any guarantor in connection with the Loan;
(ii) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Borrower or an
Owner;
(iii) the breach of any provision in that certain Environmental and
Hazardous Substance Indemnification Agreement of even date herewith given
by Borrower to Lender or in the Mortgage concerning environmental laws,
hazardous substances and asbestos and any indemnification of Lender with
respect thereto in either document;
(iv) the removal or disposal by Borrower or an Owner of any portion
of the Property after an Event of Default, other than in the ordinary
course of business;
(v) the misapplication or conversion by Borrower or an Owner of (A)
any insurance proceeds paid by reason of any loss, damage or destruction to
the Property, (B) any awards or other amounts received in connection with
the condemnation of all or a portion of the Property, or (C) any Rents
following an Event of Default;
(vi) failure to pay charges for labor or materials or other charges
that can create liens on any portion of the Property unless such charges
are the subject of a bona fide dispute in which Borrower or an Owner is
contesting the amount or validity thereof;
(vii) the collection of Rent more than thirty (30) days in advance,
and the failure to deliver to Lender any security deposits collected with
respect to the Property upon a foreclosure of the Property or action in
lieu thereof, except to the extent any such security deposits were applied
in accordance with the terms and conditions of any of the Leases prior to
the occurrence of the Event of Default that gave rise to such foreclosure
or action in lieu thereof;
(viii) the occurrence of any event described in clause (vii) of
Section 8.1 with respect to Borrower or the Managing Member; and
(ix) Borrower's indemnification of Lender set forth in Section 9.2.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any of the
Loan Documents, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which
Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other
provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount
of the Debt secured by the Mortgage or to require that all collateral shall
continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the
Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement
or in any of the Loan Documents, the Debt shall be fully recourse to the
Borrower (but not to its members, its managers, or their principals) in the
event that: (i) Borrower fails to obtain Lender's prior written consent to
any subordinate financing or other voluntary lien encumbering the
Properties other than a Permitted Encumbrance; or (ii) Borrower fails to
obtain Lender's prior written consent to any assignment, transfer, or
conveyance of the Property or any interest therein as required by any
Mortgage. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in
any of the Loan Documents, in the event that: (y) the first full monthly
payment of principal and interest under the Note is not paid when due; or
(z) Borrower fails to permit on-site inspections of the Property, fails to
provide financial information, fails to maintain its status as a single
purpose entity or fails to appoint a new property manager upon the request
of Lender after an Event of Default, each as required by, and in accordance
with the terms and provisions of, this Loan Agreement and the Mortgages,
then Lender shall have the right to direct the Clearing Bank and the
Deposit Bank that, until such condition stated in clause (y) or (z) above
has been corrected to Lender's satisfaction, all amounts deposited into
Clearing Account A shall be forwarded to the Deposit Account without any
disbursement to Borrower's Subaccount or to Clearing Account B.
Section 9.5 TERMINATION OF MANAGER. If an Event of Default occurs
and is continuing, Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, terminate the
Management Agreement and replace the Manager with a manager approved by
Lender on terms and conditions satisfactory to Lender.
Section 9.6 RETENTION OF SERVICER. Lender reserves the right to
retain the Servicer to act as its agent hereunder with such powers as are
specifically delegated to the Servicer by Lender, whether pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Deposit
Account Agreement or otherwise, together with such other powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. Borrower shall pay any reasonable fees and
expenses of the Servicer in connection with a Defeasance of the Note,
release of Property, assumption or modification of the Loan or enforcement
of the Loan Documents; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be
required to pay the Servicer's customary periodic fee for servicing the
Loan.

or willful misconduct of Lender. Any costs and expenses due and payable to
Lender hereunder which are not paid by Borrower within ten (10) days after
demand may be paid from any amounts in the Deposit Account, with notice
thereof to Borrower.

judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be
designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted
against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by
Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by
Borrower contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (ii) the use
or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan, or (iii) any information provided

that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal
acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the
undertaking to indemnify and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence

have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated
counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any
action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any
such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or
defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by

Borrower may legally do so, Borrower waives all rights to a marshalling of the
assets of Borrower, Borrower's partners, if any, and others with interests in
Borrower, and of Borrower's properties, or to a sale in inverse order of
alienation in the event of foreclosure of the interests hereby created, and
agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of
assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the
administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to
defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a
sale of the Property for the collection of the related indebtedness without
any prior or different resort for collection, of the right of Lender or any
deed of trust trustee to the payment of the related indebtedness out of the
net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.

shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the
party which drafted same.

represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers,
underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and Borrower agrees to pay any
commissions, fees, expenses, or other charges owing to any broker arising out
of this transaction. Borrower and Lender hereby agree to indemnify and hold

and the repayment of the Debt.

to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the
obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of
Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the
benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require
satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled
to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict
compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any
circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of
