THE COMPANY Mark Centers Trust (the "Company") currently owns and operates thirty-nine properties consisting of thirty-four neighborhood and community shopping centers, three enclosed malls and two mixed use (retail/office) properties. All of the Company's assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through Mark Centers Limited Partnership, (the "Operating Partnership") and its majority owned partnerships. As of June 30, 1998, the Company controlled 84% of the Operating Partnership as the sole general partner. The Company will at all times be the sole general partner of, and owner of a 51% or greater interest in, the Operating Partnership. Marvin L. Slomowitz (the "Principal Shareholder"), who is the principal limited partner of the Operating Partnership, owns in excess of 99% of the minority interest in the Operating Partnership. The Company is operating as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") for federal income tax purposes. On April 15, 1998 the Company entered into a Contribution and Share Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") which will provide additional properties and capital to the Company. Subject to the satisfaction of all conditions to the transaction, including approval by the Company's shareholders at a meeting scheduled to be held August 12, 1998, the Company, through Mark Centers Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership through which the Company conducts substantially all of its activities, and in exchange for approximately 11.1 million Operating Partnership Units and approximately 1.9 million newly issued common shares of beneficial interest, will acquire substantially all of the ownership interests in thirteen retail shopping centers, five multi-family apartment complexes, one redevelopment property, certain third party management contracts and certain promissory notes owned by real estate investment partnerships and related entities in which RD Capital, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("RD Capital"), or its affiliates serves as the general partner or in another similar management capacity. In addition, the Company will also receive a cash investment of $100 million from affiliates of RD Capital in exchange for approximately 13.3 million newly issued common shares of beneficial interest valued at a price of $7.50 per share. The Agreement also provides that Ross Dworman and Kenneth Bernstein of RD Capital will become 5 MARK CENTERS TRUST NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (in thousands, except per share amounts) 1. THE COMPANY, continued Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, respectively. Mr. Marvin Slomowitz, the current Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, will remain as a board member and as a consultant to the Company. The two new executives will serve on the board together with two independent designees of RD Capital and two independent designees (in addition to Mr. Slomowitz) of the existing board. The Company will change its name to Acadia Realty Trust effective upon the closing of the transaction. The transaction is a complex one involving many parties and there can be no assurance that the closing on this transaction will be completed. The transaction is described in greater detail in the Company's proxy statement relating to the 1998 meeting of shareholders. The Company has incurred costs totalling $1,063 related to this transaction as of June 30, 1998 which are included in deferred charages in the accompanying financial statements. 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its majority owned partnerships, including the Operating Partnership, and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with instruction to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The information furnished in the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the aforementioned consolidated financial statements for the interim periods. Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1998. For further information refer to the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on Forms 10-K and 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 1997. 6 MARK CENTERS TRUST NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (in thousands, except per share amounts) 3. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY AND MINORITY INTEREST The following table summarizes the change in the shareholders' equity and minority interest since December 31, 1997:

4. MORTGAGE LOANS On June 1, 1998, the Company closed on $20,700 in short-term financing with Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Capital LLC ("CS First Boston"). The facility, which bears interest at LIBOR plus 312 basis points through the original term ending December 1, 1998 and LIBOR plus 462 basis points during an extension period ending June 1, 1999, is secured by four of the Company's properties (the "Properties"). The loan agreement contains customary representations, events of default and certain affirmative and negative covenants. Of the loan proceeds, $2,000 was unfunded and held back for certain planned construction at one of the Properties as well as an additional $2,000 for an interest reserve and a ground lease at one of the Properties. Approximately $9,903 was used to refinance existing debt and pay for transaction costs, $986 was used to acquire building and other improvements constituting the Blackman Plaza, $326 was deposited into escrows and the remaining $5,485 was available for working capital. At closing, the Company paid $1,541 from this available working capital to Pharmhouse Corp., a tenant at the Ledgewood Mall who had obtained an injunction against the installation of Walmart at the mall based on certain exclusive use provisions within Pharmhouse Corp.'s lease. As a result of this settlement, the Company anticipates proceeding with the installation of Walmart in approximately 120,000 square feet at the property. 7 MARK CENTERS TRUST NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (in thousands, except per share amounts) 4. MORTGAGE LOANS, continued The Company intends on repaying this loan commensurate with the closing of the RD Capital transaction with the cash to be invested by affiliates of RD Capital. If the Company is unable to close on the RD Capital transaction as anticipated and the Company is unable to repay the loan by June 1, 1999, CS First Boston would then have the option to (a) foreclose on the Properties or (b) convert the facility to a permanent loan with a term of ten years and monthly payment of interest at a rate equal to the applicable U.S. Treasury rate plus 300 basis points and principal payments based on a thirty year amortization period. 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS On June 1, 1998, the Company purchased for $1,372 the building and other improvements constituting the Blackman Plaza from Blackman Plaza Partners in which the Principal Shareholder is the sole general partner (owning a one percent economic interest). The Company was already the owner of the land. Payment for the building and other improvements was made with the proceeds from the CS First Boston financing and the application of ground rent in arrears totalling $496 due the Company. 6. PER SHARE DATA Basic earnings per share was determined by dividing the net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares of beneficial interest ("Common Shares") outstanding during each period consistent with the guidelines of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 128. The weighted average number of Common Shares for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 totalled 8,554,810 and 8,549,642, respectively. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue Common Shares were exercised or converted into Common Shares or resulted in the issuance of Common Shares that then shared in the earnings of the Company. For the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, no additional Common Shares were reflected as the impact would be anti-dilutive due to the net loss in each period. 8 MARK CENTERS TRUST NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (in thousands, except per share amounts) 7. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT On May 21, 1998, the Emerging Issue Task Force ("EITF") of the Financial Accounting Standards Board reached a consensus opinion on Issue No. 98-9 "Accounting for Contingent Rent in Interim Financial Periods" which requires the lessor to defer income recognition for contingent rents in interim periods until the specified target, or in the case of percentage rent, the tenant sales breakpoint, is met. The Company has traditionally recognized percentage rent in interim periods based on historical tenant sales which was in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company has adopted this EITF consensus on a prospective basis for the quarter ended June 30, 1998. Percentage rents as reported for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 were unfavorably impacted by $237 as a result of the adoption of this EITF consensus. 8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On July 2, 1998, the Principal Shareholder converted 800,000 Operating Partnership Units to 800,000 common shares of beneficial interest of the Company. 9 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion is based on the consolidated financial statements of Mark Centers Trust (the "Company") as of June 30, 1998 and 1997 and for the six months then ended. This information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. Certain statements made in this report may constitute "forward- looking statements" within the meaning of federal securities laws. Such statements are inherently subject to risk and uncertainties which may cause the actual results to differ materially from the future results implied by such forward- looking statements. Factors which might cause such differences include general economic conditions, adverse changes in the real estate markets in general and in the geographic regions in which the Company's properties are located, changes in interest rates, potential bankruptcy of tenants and environmental requirements. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 1998 ("1998") to Three Months Ended June 30, 1997 ("1997") Total revenues decreased $379,000, or 3%, to $10.7 million for 1998 compared to $11.1 million for 1997. Minimum rents increased $203,000, or 2%, to $8.5 million for 1998 compared to $8.3 million for 1997. Increases in minimum rents in 1998 resulted primarily from the May 1998 opening and payment of rent totalling $57,000 in 1998 from Redner's Supermarket, a $32,000 increase in rents following the acquisition of the Blackman Plaza on June 1, 1998, and the effect of Stern's at the Ledgewood Mall reverting to paying minimum rent of $138,000 in 1998. During 1997, Stern's was paying percentage rent in lieu of minimum rent pursuant to anchor cotenancy requirements with Jamesway which vacated the Ledgewood Mall in 1996. Increases in minimum rents were also experienced at certain centers in 1998 following the re-tenanting of space at increased market rates. These increases were partially offset by $48,000, reflecting the effect of Bruno's vacating its 48,000 square feet at the 10 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, continued Martintown Plaza following its Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing on January 2, 1998. Office Depot, Inc. opened on June 21, 1998 in 30,000 square feet of this space at a higher per square foot rent. Further offsetting the above increases in minimum rent was a negotiated reduction in rent for Homeplace at the New Louden Center following its Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing on January 5, 1998. Although the Company has not yet received notification from Homeplace Stores that they are rejecting this lease, the tenant has notified the Company that it intends on vacating the space during 1998. Percentage rents decreased $317,000, or 38%, to $524,000 for 1998 compared to $841,000 for 1997. $237,000 of the decrease was the result of the adoption and implementation of the Emerging Issue Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 98-9 "Accounting for Contingent Rent in Interim Financial Periods" as discussed in Note 7 to the accompanying financial statements. The remaining decrease was primarily from the effect of Stern's at the Ledgewood Mall paying minimum rent rather then percentage rent in 1998 as discussed above. Other income decreased $165,000 for 1998 primarily as a result of lease termination settlements paid by two tenants in 1997 and a decrease in interest earning assets for 1998. Total operating expenses of $8.3 million for 1998 increased $843,000, or 11%, from $7.5 million for 1997. Property operating expenses increased $134,000, or 6%, for 1998 compared to 1997 primarily due to the non-recurring impact of a reversal of a $245,000 reserve for environmental remediation costs for the Cloud Springs Plaza in 1997 following notification in March 1997 from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources that contamination exceeding a reportable quantity had not occurred. This was partially offset by an aggregate $139,000 decrease in repairs and maintenance expense in the portfolio in 1998. Depreciation and amortization increased $147,000 for 1998 primarily due to the Company's property development and expansion activities. Non-recurring charges of $554,000 are costs incurred specific to certain non-recurring events and represent the payment of retention bonuses to certain Company officers in 1998. 11 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, continued Interest expense of $4.0 million for 1998 increased $86,000, or 2%, from $3.9 million for 1997 primarily as a result of higher average outstanding borrowings related primarily to increased property development and expansion activities. As a result of the foregoing and a $268,000 extraordinary loss on the extinguishment of certain debt following the financing with CS First Boston, the net loss before minority interest of $1.8 million for 1998 increased $1.6 million from a loss of $260,000 for 1997. Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 ("1998") to Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 ("1997") Total revenues decreased $552,000, or 2%, to $21.7 million for 1998 compared to $22.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1997. Minimum rents increased $223,000, or 1%, to $17.0 million for 1998 compared to $16.8 million for 1997. Increases in minimum rents in 1998 resulted primarily from the May 1998 opening of Redner's Supermarket and acquisition of the Blackman Plaza as previously discussed under the three months ended June 30, 1998, as well as from re-tenanting efforts at certain centers resulting in most notably a $134,000 increase in rents at the East End Centre and a $97,000 increase in rents at the Northwood Centre. An increase in minimum rents was also experienced from the effect of Stern's at the Ledgewood Mall reverting to paying minimum rent of $277,000 in 1998 as previously discussed. These increases were partially offset by the effect of Bruno's vacating the Martintown Plaza and the negotiated reduction in rent for Homeplace at the New Louden Center as also mentioned above. The above increases were also partially offset by the $141,000 effect of the State of Alabama Department of Public Health vacating its leased space at the Normandale Mall following the expiration of its leases in April 1997 and the $32,000 effect of the sale of the Newberry Plaza in March 1997. Percentage rents decreased $436,000, or 29%, to $1.1 million for 1998 compared to $1.5 million for 1997. $237,000 of the decrease was the result of the adoption and implementation of EITF No. 98- 9 and the remaining decrease was primarily from the effect of Stern's at the Ledgewood Mall paying minimum rent rather then percentage rent in 1998 as discussed above. 12 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, continued Other income decreased $215,000 for 1998 primarily as a result of lease termination settlements paid by two tenants in 1997 and a decrease in interest earning assets in 1998. Total operating expenses of $16.0 million for 1998 increased $629,000, or 4%, from $15.3 million for 1997. Property operating expenses decreased $137,000 for 1998 compared to 1997 primarily due to a $261,000 decrease in winter related expenses following the comparatively mild weather experienced in the Northeast in 1998, a $160,000 decrease in repairs and maintenance expense and a $188,000 decrease in other property operating expenses. These were partially offset by a $203,000 increase in the provision for bad debt in 1998 and the non- recurring impact of the reversal of a $245,000 reserve for environmental remediation costs for the Cloud Springs Plaza in 1997 as previously discussed. Depreciation and amortization increased $296,000 for 1998 primarily due to the Company's property development and expansion activities. Non-recurring charges of $554,000 in 1998 are costs incurred specific to certain non-recurring events as previously discussed. Interest expense of $7.9 million for 1998 increased $273,000, or 3%, from $7.9 million for 1997 primarily as a result of higher average outstanding borrowings related primarily to increased property development and expansion activities. As a result of the foregoing and a $268,000 extraordinary loss on the extinguishment of certain debt, the net loss before minority interest of $2.5 million for 1998 increased $1.7 million from a loss of $747,000 for 1997. Funds from Operations The Company, along with most industry analysts, consider funds from operations("FFO") as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT")as an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance. However, FFO does not represent cash generated from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. It should not be considered as an alternative to net income for the purpose of evaluating the Company's performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Generally, NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss) before gains (losses) on sales of property, non-recurring charges and extraordinary items, adjusted for certain non-cash charges, primarily depreciation and amortization of capitalized leasing costs. 13

14 (a) Excludes income from straight-lining of rents. (b) Represents all expenses other than depreciation, amortization, write-off of unbilled rent receivables recognized on a straight-line basis, non-cash charges for compensation expense related to the Company's restricted share plan and certain non-recurring expenses. (c) Assumes full conversion of 1,623,000 Operating Partnership Units into common shares of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 respectively. (d) Net loss per share (basic and diluted) is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 of 8,554,810 and 8,549,642, respectively. 15 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As previously disclosed in a current report on Form 8-K filed on April 20, 1998, and as discussed in Note 1 in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has entered into a Contribution and Share Purchase Agreement with certain real estate investment partnerships and related entities in which RD Capital, ("RDC") or certain of its affiliates serves as the general partner or in another similar management capacity, which will provide additional properties and capital to the Company. This transaction is described in greater detail in the Company's proxy statement relating to its 1998 meeting of shareholders. Consummation of the transaction is subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions, including, but not limited to approval by the Company's shareholders. If the transaction is completed as anticipated, the Company's liquidity and capital resources would be significantly impacted. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company has agreed, among other things, not to declare or pay a dividend until the closing of the RDC transaction. After closing, the newly reconstituted Board of Trustees will reassess the Company's dividend policy in light of the new Company's REIT distribution requirements, cash flow and prospects. On June 1, 1998, the Company closed on $20.7 million in short- term financing with Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Capital LLC ("CS First Boston") which is expected to fund a significant portion of the Company's planned 1998 capital outlays for tenant improvements, related renovations and other property improvements. The facility, which bears interest at LIBOR plus 312 basis points through the original term ending December 1, 1998 and LIBOR plus 462 basis points during an extension period ending June 1, 1999, is secured by four of the Company's properties (the "Properties"). The loan agreement contains customary representations, events of default and certain affirmative and negative covenants. Of the loan proceeds, $2.0 million was unfunded and held back for certain planned construction at one of the Properties (which comprises $1.5 million of the Company's estimated 1998 capital outlays discussed below) as well as an additional $2.0 million for an interest reserve and a ground lease at one of the Properties. Approximately $9.9 million was used to refinance existing debt and pay for transaction costs, $986,000 was used to acquire the building and other improvements constituting the Blackman Plaza, $326,000 was deposited into escrows and the remaining $5.5 million was available for working capital. At closing, the Company paid $1.5 million from this available working capital to 16 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES, continued Pharmhouse Corp., a tenant at the Ledgewood Mall who had obtained an injunction against the installation of Walmart at the mall based on certain exclusive use provisions within Pharmhouse Corp.'s lease. As a result of this agreed settlement, the Company anticipates proceeding with the installation of Walmart in approximately 120,000 square feet at the property. The Company intends on repaying this loan commensurate with the closing of the RDC transaction with the cash to be invested by affiliates of RD Capital. If the Company is unable to close on the RDC transaction as anticipated and the Company is unable to repay the loan by June 1, 1999, CS First Boston would then have the option to (a) foreclose on the Properties or (b) convert the facility to a permanent loan with a term of ten years and monthly payment of interest at a rate equal to the applicable U.S. Treasury rate plus 300 basis points and principal payments based on a thirty year amortization period. As of June 30, 1998 interest on the Company's mortgage indebtedness ranged from 7.7% to 10.0% with maturities that ranged from September 1998 to November 2021. Of the total outstanding debt, $173.4 million, or 89%, was carried at fixed interest rates and the remaining $20.4 million, or 11%, carried at variable rates. Of the total outstanding debt, $115.4 million will become due by 2000, with scheduled maturities of $2.3 million in 1998, $16.7 million in 1999 and $96.4 million in 2000. As the Company does not anticipate having sufficient cash on hand to repay such indebtedness, it will need to refinance this indebtedness or select other alternatives based on market conditions at that time. The Company believes that the current loan-to-value ratios on the collateral properties are at levels which would allow it to fully refinance these loans on commercially competitive terms. Historically, the principal sources for funding operations, renovations, expansion, development and acquisitions have been funds from operations, construction and permanent secured debt financings, as well as short term construction and line of credit borrowings from various lenders. The Company anticipates that cash flow from operating activities will continue to provide adequate capital for all debt service payments, recurring capital expenditures and REIT distribution requirements. Consistent with past practice, the Company anticipates that it will obtain construction financing related to its capital outlays for certain 17 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES, continued property development, property expansion and tenant improvements. However, the Company may experience a cash shortfall in 1998, in the absence of consummating the proposed RDC transaction, if there are delays in obtaining construction financing to fund its anticipated capital outlays. Any delays in construction financing will increase the Company's short term reliance on cash from operations to meet these commitments. The Company currently estimates that capital outlays of approximately $9.1 million will be required for tenant improvements, related renovations and other property improvements primarily as a result of executed leases under which the Company expects tenants to commence occupancy during the next 12 months. Of this amount, approximately $3.0 million will be provided through existing construction financing and through amounts held back from the financing with CS First Boston for certain planned construction at one of the Properties. The remaining planned costs are expected to be funded through existing working capital on hand as a result of the CS First Boston financing and future construction financing or alternative sources of capital. The Company's inability to obtain future financing or obtain alternative sources of capital would have an adverse effect on the Company's ability to fund current tenant installation activity. HISTORICAL CASH FLOW The following discussion of historical cash flow compares the Company's cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 1998 ("1998") with the Company's cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 1997 ("1997"). Net cash provided by operating activities decreased from $7.2 million for 1997 to $5.5 million for 1998. This variance was primarily attributable to a $1.2 million increase in cash used to pay accounts payable and accrued expenses for 1998. Investing activities used $10.2 million during 1998 representing a $3.3 million increase in cash of $6.9 million used during 1997. The Company received $1.7 million in sales proceeds in 1997 related to the sale of the Newberry Plaza. Cash used for deferred leasing costs increased in 1998 primarily as a result of the payment of $1.5 million to Pharmhouse Corp., a tenant at the Ledgewood Mall as previously discussed under "Liquidity and Capital Resources". 18 HISTORICAL CASH FLOW, continued Net cash provided by financing activities of $7.3 million increased $9.6 million compared to $2.3 million used during 1997. $7.3 million of the increase resulted from a reduction in dividends and distributions paid in 1998. The remaining increase was primarily attributable to an increase in net proceeds provided from refinancings. INFLATION The Company's long-term leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation on the Company's net income. Such provisions include clauses enabling the Company to receive percentage rents based on tenants' gross sales, which generally increase as prices rise, and/or, in certain cases, escalation clauses, which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases. Such escalation clauses are often related to increases in the consumer price index or similar inflation indexes. In addition, many of the Company's leases are for terms of less than ten years, which permits the Company to seek to increase rents upon re-rental at market rates if rents are below the then existing market rates. Most of the Company's leases require the tenants to pay their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and utilities, thereby reducing the Company's exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. 19 PART II.

Payment of Funding Losses hereunder shall be in addition to any obligation to pay a prepayment premium under Section 2.6 hereof in circumstances where such prepayment premium would be due and owing. (b) If Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower, absent manifest error) (i) that Dollar deposits in an amount approximately equal to the then Outstanding Principal Balance are not generally available at such time in the London Interbank Market for deposits in Eurodollars, (ii) that the rate at which such deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender or a Funding Party of maintaining a LIBOR Interest Rate on the Loan (or the portion of the Loan being funded by such Funding Party), or of funding the same in such market for such Interest Accrual Period, due to circumstances affecting the London Interbank Market generally, (iii) that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, or (iv) that the LIBOR Interest Rate would be in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower may by law pay, then, in any such event, Lender shall so notify Borrower and, as of the date of such notification with respect to an event described in clause (ii) or (iv) above, or as of the expiration of the applicable Interest Accrual Period with respect to an event described in clause (i) or (iii) above, interest shall accrue at the Base Rate until such time as the situations described above are no longer in effect, or as otherwise provided herein; provided, however, if the situation described in clause (ii) above occurs, (x) Borrower shall have the option, to be exercised by written notice to Lender, to pay Lender (in the manner reasonably required by Lender) for such increased cost of maintaining the LIBOR Interest Rate, and (y) if the same only affects a portion of the Loan, then only such portion shall have interest accrue at the Base Rate (provided the remaining portion is at least $1,000,000), and interest shall continue to accrue on the remaining portion at the LIBOR Interest Rate. (c) If the introduction of, or any change in, any law, regulation or treaty, or in the interpretation thereof by any governmental authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof, shall make it unlawful for Lender or any Funding Party to maintain the LIBOR Interest Rate with respect to the Loan, or any portion thereof, or to fund the Loan, or any portion thereof, in Eurodollars in the London Interbank Market, then, (i) the Loan (or such portion of the Loan) shall thereafter bear interest at the Base Rate (unless the Default Rate shall be applicable), and (ii) Borrower shall pay to Lender the amount of Funding Losses (if any) incurred in connection with such conversion. The accrual of interest at the Base Rate shall continue until such Payment Date, if any, as the situation described in this Section 2.5(c) is no longer in effect.

(e) Any amount payable by Borrower under Section 2.5(a) or 2.5(d) hereof shall be paid to Lender within five (5) days of receipt by Borrower of a certificate signed by an officer of Lender setting forth the amount due and the basis for the determination of such amount, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower, absent manifest error. Failure on the part of Lender to demand payment from Borrower for any such amount attributable to any particular period shall not constitute a waiver of Lender's right to demand payment of such amount for any subsequent or prior period. Lender shall use reasonable efforts to deliver to Borrower prompt notice of any event described in Sections 2.5(a) or 2.5(d) hereof and of the amount to be paid under this Section 2.5 as a result thereof; provided, however, any failure by Lender to so notify Borrower shall not affect Borrower's obligation to make the payments to be made under this Section 2.5 as a result thereof. All amounts which may become due and payable by Borrower in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.5 shall constitute additional interest hereunder and shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents. (f) If Lender or any Funding Party requests compensation for any losses or costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any one or more of the provisions of Sections 2.5(a)(iii), 2.5(a)(iv) or 2.5(d) hereof, or if any event occurs as described in Sections 2.5(b) or 2.5(c) hereof which would cause the Note no longer to bear interest at the LIBOR Interest Rate then, upon request of Borrower, Lender or such Funding Party shall use reasonable efforts, in a manner consistent with such institution's practice in connection with loans like the Loan, to designate a different lending office for funding or booking the Loan or to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates if such designation or assignment, in Lender's sole but good faith judgment, (i) would eliminate, mitigate or reduce amounts payable by Borrower in connection with Funding Losses or Capital Adequacy Events or, with respect to an event described in Sections 2.5(b) or 2.5(c) hereof, would allow the Loan to continue to bear interest at the LIBOR Interest Rate without additional cost to Lender, and (ii) would not be otherwise prejudicial to Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonably incurred costs and expenses incurred by Lender or any Funding Party in connection with any such designation or assignment. Section 2.6 Prepayment. (a) Borrower may, at any time elect to prepay the Loan (i) in whole, but not in part, on any Domestic Business Day provided, and with respect to each such prepayment (x) Borrower has given Lender written notice of such prepayment not more than sixty (60) days and not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the date of such prepayment, including, without limitation, any amounts due under Section 2.5 hereof, and (y) such prepayment is accompanied by all interest accrued on the amount so prepaid and all other fees and other sums due hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, if any, up to and including the date of prepayment. (b) Intentionally Omitted. Section 2.7 Default Interest; Late Charge. (a) If any payment of principal, interest or other sum payable hereunder, or under any of the other Loan Documents, is not paid when due (including by reason of failure to pay all principal, interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the other Loan Documents on the Maturity Date (or such earlier date as the same may become due, whether by acceleration or otherwise)), such principal amount, interest or other sum shall bear interest at a rate per annum (the "Default Rate") equal to six percent (6%) in excess of LIBOR (or, if at such time Lender shall have notified Borrower that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR as provided in clause (iii) of Section 2.5(b) hereof, the Treasury Rate), which Default Rate shall so apply from the date such amount was due until the date such amount is indefeasibly paid to Lender. Without limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence of, and during the continuance of, an Event of Default hereunder, the entire principal balance of the Loan shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Interest at the Default Rate shall be paid immediately upon demand, which demand may be made as frequently as Lender shall elect. (b) If any installment of interest or principal (including, without limitation, the entire Outstanding Principal Balance on the Maturity Date) is not paid within five (5) days after the date when due, or if any other amount payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document is not paid within ten (10) days after written notice thereof is given to Borrower, Borrower shall pay to Lender a late charge of three percent (3%) of the amount so overdue in order to defray part of the expense incident to handling such delinquent payment or payments. Such late charge shall be immediately due and payable without notice or demand by Lender. Such late charge shall be in addition to, and separate from, any increase in interest due hereunder as a result of calculation of interest due hereunder at the Default Rate. Acceptance by Lender of any late charge or interest at the Default Rate shall not be deemed a waiver of any of Lender's rights hereunder or under the other Loan Documents with respect to such late payment. Section 2.8 Excess Interest. It is agreed that, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, no such provision shall require the payment or permit the collection of any amount ("Excess Interest") in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by law to be charged for the use or detention, or the forbearance in the collection, of all or any portion of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note. If any Excess Interest is provided for, or is adjudicated to be provided for, in the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, then in such event: (i) the provisions of this Section 2.8 shall govern and control; (ii) neither Borrower nor any of the other Persons required to pay any amounts with respect to the Loan shall be obligated to pay any Excess Interest; (iii) any Excess Interest that Lender may have received hereunder shall, at the option of Lender, (i) be applied as a credit against the then Outstanding Principal Balance (without payment of prepayment premium) due hereunder, accrued and unpaid interest thereon not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by law, or both, (ii) be refunded to the payor thereof, or (iii) any combination of the foregoing; (iv) the applicable interest rate or rates shall be automatically subject to reduction to the maximum lawful rate and this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been, and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction in such interest rate or rates; and (v) neither Borrower nor any of the other Persons required to pay any amounts with respect to the Loan shall have any action or remedy against Lender for any damages whatsoever, or any defense to enforcement of this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, arising out of the payment or collection of any Excess Interest. Section 2.9 Loan Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by Borrower to Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall, provided that Lender complies with the requirements of Section 2.9(c) hereof, be made free and clear of, and without deduction for, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings or liabilities with respect thereto, except for the following, for which Borrower shall not be responsible: (i) taxes imposed on or measured by Lender's net income or net receipts; or (ii) franchise taxes imposed on Lender by the jurisdiction in which (A) Lender is organized, (B) Lender is "doing business" (unless such determination of "doing business" is made solely as a result of Lender's interest in the Loan and the security therefor), or (C) Lender's applicable lending office is located (all such taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings and liabilities (except those described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii)) being hereinafter referred to as "Loan Taxes"). If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Loan Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, then (1) any such sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.9), Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.9) been made, (2) Borrower shall make such deductions or withholdings, and (3) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority in accordance with applicable law. Borrower will indemnify Lender for the full amount of any Loan Taxes (including, without limitation, any Loan Taxes (as well as taxes described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the second preceding sentence) imposed by any jurisdiction on any amounts payable under this Section 2.9) paid or payable by Lender and any liability (including, without limitation, penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Loan Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The agreements and obligations of Borrower contained in this Section 2.9 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest under this Agreement and the Note. (b) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Loan Taxes withheld by Borrower in respect of any payment to Lender, Borrower will furnish to Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt or other evidence satisfactory to Lender evidencing payment thereof. (c) If Lender is a U.S. Person (other than the lender originally named herein), Lender shall deliver to Borrower, upon request, a Form W-9 (unless it establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of Borrower that it is otherwise eligible for an exemption from backup withholding tax or other withholding tax). If Lender is not a U.S. Person, Lender shall deliver to Borrower, upon request, a Form W-8 and either (i) a Form 1001 which indicates a 0% rate of tax or (ii) a Form 4224. If Lender is not a U.S. Person, Lender further undertakes to deliver to Borrower additional Forms W-8, 1001, 4224 (or any successor forms) or other manner of certification, as the case may be, (A) on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete, (B) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to Borrower, and (C) such extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by Borrower, certifying that Lender is entitled to receive payments hereunder without deduction or withholding of any Loan Taxes. However, in the event that any change in law, rule, regulation, treaty or directive, or in the interpretation or application thereof (a "Law Change"), has occurred prior to the date on which any delivery pursuant to the preceding sentence would otherwise be required which renders such form inapplicable, or which would prevent Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form, or if such Law Change results in Lender being unable to deliver a Form W-9 (or other satisfactory evidence that it is otherwise eligible for an exemption from backup withholding tax or other withholding tax), Lender shall not be obligated to deliver such forms but shall, promptly following such Law Change, but in any event prior to the time the next payment hereunder is due following such Law Change, advise Borrower in writing whether it is capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of Loan Taxes. In the event of such Law Change, Borrower shall have the obligation to make Lender whole and to "gross-up" under Section 2.9(a) hereof, despite the failure by Lender to deliver such forms. (d) If Lender receives a refund in respect of Loan Taxes paid by Borrower, it shall promptly pay such refund, together with any other amounts paid by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.9(a) hereof in connection with such refunded Loan Taxes, to Borrower; provided, however, that Borrower agrees to promptly return such refund to Lender if it receives notice from Lender that it is required to repay such refund. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to require Lender to seek any refund and Lender shall have no obligation to Borrower to do so. (e) All amounts payable under this Section 2.9 shall constitute additional interest hereunder and shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section 2.9 shall survive any payment or prepayment of the Loan and any foreclosure or satisfaction of the Mortgage. (f) Any reference under this Section 2.9 to "Lender" shall be deemed to include any Participant and any Assignees. Section 2.10 Uses of Loan Proceeds. The uses of the proceeds of the Loan shall be as set forth on a closing statement to be executed by Borrower and Lender on the Closing Date (the "Closing Statement"). Borrower shall deliver such information and documentation as Lender shall reasonably request to verify that the uses are as set forth on the Closing Statement. To the extent that Borrower shall not apply any amounts necessary for any of such uses as indicated on the Closing Statement, the Loan shall be reduced by an equal amount. Section 2.11 Servicing. The Loan shall be serviced by an insured financial servicer selected by Lender in its sole discretion (the "Servicer"). Lender may change the Servicer from time to time without the consent of Borrower, on notice to Borrower. Lender expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Servicer's fees (the "Servicing Fee"), shall be payable by Lender.

Borrower has furnished (or caused to be furnished) to Lender true and complete copies of all material documents relating to the Premises which a reasonably prudent institutional Lender, making a loan in a similar amount and on similar terms as the Loan, would want to have the opportunity to review prior to agreeing to make such loan or prior to agreeing to any of the material terms thereof. ARTICLE IV CERTAIN COVENANTS OF BORROWER Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender as follows: Section 4.1 Payment and Performance of Obligations. Borrower shall pay and otherwise perform the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. Section 4.2 Transfers. (a) Borrower will not, directly or indirectly, sell, assign, convey, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise transfer (each of the foregoing constituting a "Transfer") the Premises or any part thereof, or any interest therein, or suffer, consent to or permit the foregoing, without, in each instance, the prior written consent of Lender. Borrower will not permit any owner (directly or indirectly) of a legal or beneficial interest in Borrower including, without limitation, any owner, (directly or indirectly) of a legal or beneficial ownership interest in General Partner to Transfer such interest, whether by transfer of stock, assignment of partnership interest or other transfer of legal or beneficial interest in Borrower or in any direct or indirect owner thereof, or otherwise permit any new or additional legal or beneficial ownership interests in Borrower or any direct or indirect owner to be issued, including, without limitation, by admission of new general partners, without, in each instance, the prior written consent of Lender. (b) To the extent that Lender elects to consent to any Transfer as to which its consent is required hereunder, Lender shall be entitled to condition its consent on such matters as Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, execution of instruments of assignment and assumption with respect to the Loan Documents and the Collateral, payment of a transfer fee or other consideration, delivery of Officer's Certificates and affidavits and indemnities, including an affidavit and indemnification regarding Code Sections 1445 and 7701, agreements restricting actions which may or may not be taken by any transferee or its owners or restrictions in any such Person's Organizational Documents with respect thereto, additional or replacement security for the Loan, restrictions as to the use of any consideration paid for such Transfer, and opinions, including opinions regarding the assumptions of obligations hereunder, substantive consolidation and such other matters as Lender may request. Within ten (10) days after the closing of any Transfer, whether or not such Transfer required Lender's consent, if (i) the Premises or any part thereof or any interest therein, or (ii) any direct or indirect ownership interests in Borrower, is transferred, Borrower will provide Lender with a copy of the deed or other instrument of Transfer to the transferee. Borrower will promptly after request therefor provide Lender with such other information and documentation with respect to such Transfer as Lender shall reasonably request, including, without limitation, information as to ownership of such transferee. (c) Upon the occurrence of any Transfer, the provisions of this Section 4.2 shall continue to apply to the transferee as if it were the transferor hereunder, and any consent by Lender permitting a transaction otherwise prohibited under this Section 4.2, or any right of Borrower or any other Person to Transfer without such consent, shall not constitute a consent to or waiver of any right, remedy or power of Lender to withhold its consent on a subsequent occasion to a transaction not otherwise permitted by the provisions of this Section 4.2. Notwithstanding the giving of any consent hereunder by Lender, Borrower shall not engage in any Prohibited Transaction. (d) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.2, Obsolete Collateral (as such term is defined in the Mortgage) may be sold or otherwise disposed of, provided, however, that either (i) such Obsolete Collateral has been or is contemporaneously being replaced by Collateral (as such term is defined in the Mortgage) of at least equal value and utility which is subject to the Lien of the Mortgage with the same priority as with respect to the Obsolete Collateral, or (ii) such Obsolete Collateral may be removed without adversely affecting the maintenance, safety and operations at the Premises. Section 4.3 Liens. Borrower shall not create, suffer or permit to exist any mortgage, pledge, lien, security interest (including, without limitation, a purchase money security interest), encumbrance, charge, attachment, levy, distraint or other judicial process (collectively, "Liens") on, of or against, or otherwise affecting, all or any portion of the Premises (including, without limitation, fixtures and other personal property), or any other property of Borrower (whether tangible or intangible and now owned or hereafter acquired) in favor of any Person other than Lender, without the prior written consent of Lender (which consent may be withheld in Lender's sole discretion) in each instance, other than the Permitted Encumbrances. Section 4.4 Indebtedness. (a) Borrower shall not without Lender's prior written consent, create, incur or assume any Indebtedness, except for (i) the Loan, (ii) Trade Payables in connection with the operation of the Premises payable within ninety (90) days, which shall in no event exceed at any one time $500,000 (or such greater sum as shall be included in any Approved Budget), and (iii) Indebtedness evidenced by capital lease agreements which are secured solely by the assets financed thereby, but in no event shall all of such capital leases, in the aggregate, exceed at any time $2,000,000. Each month, together with the other financial statements required to be furnished hereunder, Borrower shall furnish Lender a Certification detailing the Indebtedness then outstanding, including the number of days (in increments of 30 days) that each Trade Payable of Borrower has been outstanding. Borrower shall not create, incur or assume any other Indebtedness, if doing so would cause Borrower to be in violation of Section 8.1(vii) hereof, or any other provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents applicable thereto. (b) Notwithstanding that any Trade Payables incurred with respect to the Premises are otherwise permitted hereunder, Borrower shall (subject to the terms of the next sentence) pay any portion of such Trade Payables which becomes due and payable within sixty (60) days following the date on which each such amount is due and payable. Except with respect to the Loan, nothing contained in this Section 4.4 shall be deemed to require Borrower to pay any amount, so long as Borrower is in good faith, and by proper legal proceedings, diligently contesting the validity, amount or application thereof, provided, however, that in each case, at the time of the commencement of any such action or proceeding, and during the pendency of such action or proceeding (i) adequate reserves with respect thereto are maintained on the books of Borrower in accordance with generally accepted accounting procedures (as determined by the Approved Accountant), (ii) such contest operates to suspend collection or enforcement, as the case may be, of the contested amount and such contest is maintained and prosecuted continuously and with diligence, and (iii) Borrower shall deliver to Lender cash in an amount equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the amounts being contested which exceed $100,000 in the aggregate and any estimated additional interest, charge or penalty arising from such contest. Any cash so delivered shall constitute additional security for the Loan. Any such cash shall be held and invested in the same manner and subject to the same general terms as amounts deposited in the Cash Collateral Account at any time after a Sweep Commencement Date under the Cash Management Agreement and, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may apply such monies in the same manner as other monies held in the Cash Collateral Account. Borrower shall execute such instruments as Lender shall require to evidence Lender's perfected first priority security interest therein and to effectuate the provisions hereof. If, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall provide evidence satisfactory to Lender, in its reasonable judgment, that Borrower has paid the disputed amount, or otherwise settled the same and paid any amount to be paid under such settlement, or that Borrower has received a final unappealable judgment in its favor that it need not pay any disputed amount, together with an Officer's Certificate confirming the foregoing, then Lender shall return any cash deposited with Lender with respect to such disputed amount. If Borrower ceases to contest continuously and with due diligence any contest described above, or fails to provide Lender with evidence satisfactory to Lender that it is doing so within ten (10) days after Lender's request, or if there shall be a final judgment against Borrower with respect thereto, then Lender may apply all or any portion of the cash to pay such disputed amount and Lender shall have no liability to Borrower for any determination made by Lender, in good faith, that it is entitled to do so or as to the amount to then be paid with respect to such disputed amount, whether or not that determination is found to be accurate. Section 4.5 Compliance with Restrictive Covenants, Etc. (a) Borrower will not modify, waive in any material respect or release any Easements, restrictive covenants or other Permitted Encumbrances, or suffer, consent to or permit the foregoing, without Lender's prior written consent, which consent may be granted or denied in Lender's sole discretion. Borrower will timely comply in all material respects with the terms of all Easements, restrictive covenants and all other Permitted Encumbrances. Borrower shall take such further actions as Lender may reasonably request from time to time with respect to such Easements, restrictive covenants or Permitted Encumbrances. (b) Borrower shall observe and comply with any conditions and requirements necessary to preserve and extend any and all rights, privileges, franchises and concessions that are applicable to the Premises, the use and occupancy thereof, or the business conducted thereat, and will timely comply in all material respects with all regulations, rules, ordinances, statutes, orders and decrees of any Governmental Authority or court applicable to it and/or the Premises or any part thereof. Section 4.6 Leases. (a) Except as permitted in this Section 4.6, Borrower will not enter into, modify, amend, consent to the cancellation or surrender of (except to the extent such cancellation or surrender is by the tenant thereunder pursuant to a pre-existing right to do so under a Lease) or terminate any Lease, whether now existing or hereafter entered into, without the prior written consent of Lender, which may be granted or withheld in Lender's sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall use its commercially reasonable discretion in granting or withholding its consent with respect to a new Lease or a modification of a Lease, provided, however, that (i) the tenant under the Lease in question is not an Affiliate of Borrower, (ii) such transaction is entered into on arms length terms (without consideration of any other relationship Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower may have with the tenant or any Affiliate of such tenant), and (iii) the fair market value of the Premises and the ability of Borrower to make all payments under the Loan Documents is not adversely affected thereby. (b) Borrower will timely comply with all material terms and conditions on its part to be performed under each Lease. Borrower shall neither do nor neglect to do, nor permit to be done, anything which may cause the termination of any Lease, other than due to the default of the tenant(s) under such Lease. Borrower shall not collect any rent or other payment under any Lease more than one month in advance of the due date thereof. Borrower will use its best efforts to require the performance of all of the obligations of tenants and other Persons bound by the Leases and to enforce the Leases, subject, however, to the limitation on termination described in this Section 4.6. (c) Borrower may, without Lender's prior written consent, enter into any Lease which will not be a Major Lease when such Lease comes into effect, provided that each of the following conditions is satisfied: (i) the rent and other material business terms of such Lease satisfy the then applicable Leasing Guidelines; (ii) the Lease does not provide for the rent to decline at any point during the term of such Lease; (iii) such Lease does not contain any options to purchase or other rights with respect to the ownership of the Premises; (iv) such Lease does not contain any restrictions on the landlord's rights to lease remaining portions of the Premises, except that such Lease may contain options to lease additional space in the Premises in accordance with the Leasing Guidelines; (v) such Lease does not contain any options for the tenant thereunder to terminate such Lease, other than in the event of a material casualty or condemnation or other events referenced in the Leasing Guidelines; (vi) such Lease does not contain any extraordinary landlord obligations (including obligations which an unaffiliated landlord would have difficulty performing); (vii) such Lease is entered into on the standard form of Lease which Lender has previously approved, with such changes therein as are necessitated by the business terms satisfying the Leasing Guidelines or such other non-material changes thereto as a proposed tenant may request and Borrower is willing to agree to; (viii) such Lease is entered into on arms length terms, without consideration of any relationship Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower may otherwise have with the tenant thereunder or any Affiliate thereof; and (ix) the Lease shall contain each of the provisions required by this Section 4.6.

The initial Leasing Guidelines are annexed hereto as Schedule F and may not be changed without the prior written consent of Lender. Borrower shall, simultaneously with the delivery of the quarterly Financial Statements of Borrower, deliver to Lender any proposed changes to the Leasing Guidelines based on changes in the market. Lender will not unreasonably withhold its consent to any such changes, provided that Borrower provides to Lender a letter from a brokerage company acceptable to Lender setting forth that the proposed changes reflect changes in the leasing market in the applicable city or town. Effective as of the date that any changes are made to the Leasing Guidelines as aforesaid, the term "Leasing Guidelines" will refer to the Leasing Guidelines as modified as provided above, and Borrower shall deliver to Lender a revised Leasing Guidelines reflecting the same. (d) Borrower may, without Lender's prior written consent, modify or amend any Lease which is not a Major Lease, provided that either (i) such modification or amendment is required to be entered into pursuant to the terms of such Lease, or (ii) each of the following conditions is satisfied: (A) such amendment or modification is entered into on an arms-length basis without consideration of any relationship of Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower with the tenant thereunder or any Affiliate thereof; (B) such Lease would not be a Major Lease and would, after such amendment or modification, satisfy the conditions set forth in clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii) and (ix) of Subsection 4.6(c) hereof, to as great an extent as it did prior to such amendment or modification; (C) such amendment or modification does not release any party from its liability under the Lease or reduce the square footage demised thereunder; (D) to the extent that any additional space is demised pursuant to such amendment or modification, with respect thereto, such amendment or modification satisfies this Section 4.6; (E) such amendment or modification does not reduce the rent paid under the Lease; (F) after such amendment, such Lease, as modified, continues to be subordinate to the Liens of the Mortgage and the Assignment of Leases and Rents; and (G) such amendment or modification does not otherwise have a material adverse effect on the fair market value of the Premises or the Lien of the Mortgage on the Premises. Borrower may, without the prior written consent of Lender, terminate any Lease which is not a Major Lease in its good faith exercise of its remedies under such Lease, or at law or in equity, by reason of a material monetary default having continued under such Lease for at least thirty (30) days after notice to the tenant thereof. Without first obtaining Lender's prior written consent, Borrower shall not consent to any assignment or subletting of any Lease unless the consent of Borrower may not be withheld under such circumstances under the terms of the applicable Lease, except that Borrower may, without Lender's prior written consent, consent to any assignment or subletting which does not release the liability of any Person then liable thereunder as tenant, guarantor or otherwise (1) if such assignment or subletting is of a Lease which is not a Major Lease, or (2) is for a sublease under a Major Lease, which, if Borrower had entered into such sublease directly, would not constitute a Major Lease. (e) Each Lease executed by Borrower after the date hereof shall provide, in a manner satisfactory to Lender, for (i) automatic subordination of such Lease to the Liens of the Mortgage and the Assignment of Leases and Rents, (ii) attornment by the tenant or licensee thereunder to Lender promptly after the giving by Lender of a notice to such tenant requiring such attornment, (iii) the tenant or licensee thereunder to give a notice to Lender of each material default by the landlord or licensor thereunder, simultaneously with the giving of notice of such default to such landlord or licensor, (iv) Lender to have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any default by the landlord or licensor thereunder after the expiration of the landlord's or licensor's cure period, if any, and (v) execution and delivery (not more than ten (10) days after a request therefor) of an estoppel certificate satisfactory to Lender. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lease shall also provide that Lender (or any other successor to the landlord or licensor acquiring the Premises by foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents) shall not be: (A) liable for any previous act or omission of the landlord or licensor under such Lease; (B) subject to any credit, demand, claim, counterclaim, offset or defense which theretofore accrued to such tenant or licensee against the landlord or licensor; (C) unless consented to by Lender or permitted without Lender's consent under this Section 4.6, bound by any previous modification of such Lease, or by any previous prepayment of more than one month's fixed rent or additional rent; (D) bound by any covenant or obligation of the landlord or licensor to perform, undertake or complete any work in the leased space of the Premises or to prepare it for occupancy; (E) required to account for any security deposit of the tenant or licensee other than any security deposit actually delivered to Lender by Borrower; (F) bound by any obligation to make any payment to such tenant or licensee or grant any credits, except for services, repairs, maintenance and restoration provided for under the Lease to be performed by landlord or licensor after the date of such attornment; and (G) responsible for any monies owing by the landlord or licensor to such tenant or licensee. Lender shall, upon request, execute and exchange with any tenant under a Major Lease or any other Lease of office space at the Premises demising one full floor or more of office space, a non-disturbance, subordination and attornment agreement in such form as Lender shall approve in its sole and absolute discretion, provided, however, that Borrower shall deliver with such request an Officer's Certificate stating that such Lease was entered into in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.6 and any other provisions of the Loan Documents applicable thereto. All actual out of pocket costs and expenses of Lender (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements) in connection with Lender's review of any Lease and the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of any non-disturbance agreement shall be paid by Borrower within five (5) days after request therefor by Lender. Prior to seeking Lender's consent to any Lease, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a copy of such Lease, blacklined to show the changes from the standard form of Lease previously approved by Lender. (f) All security deposits of tenants, whether held in cash or any other form, shall not be commingled with any other funds of Borrower and, if cash, shall be deposited by Borrower at such commercial or savings bank or banks as may be reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Any bond or other instrument which Borrower is permitted to hold in lieu of cash security deposits under any applicable legal requirements (i) shall be maintained in full force and effect in the full amount of such deposits unless replaced by cash deposits as herein above described, (ii) shall be issued by an institution reasonably satisfactory to Lender, (iii) shall, if permitted pursuant to any legal requirements, name Lender as payee or mortgagee thereunder (or at Lender's option, be fully assignable to Lender), and (iv) shall in all respects comply with any applicable Legal Requirements and otherwise be satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall, upon request, provide Lender with evidence satisfactory to Lender of Borrower's compliance with the foregoing. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, upon Lender's demand, Borrower shall turn over to Lender the security deposits (and any interest theretofore earned thereon) with respect to all or any portion of the Premises, to be held by Lender subject to the terms of the Leases. If Borrower is entitled to retain a security deposit, then such amount shall be transferred by Borrower into the Clearing Account. Section 4.7 Delivery of Notices. Borrower will promptly, but in no event later than five (5) days after Borrower becomes aware of any of the following events, furnish a written notice to Lender (together with the applicable correspondence and papers relating thereto) specifying the nature and period of existence of such condition or event and, with respect to events described in clause (i) below, what action Borrower is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto (compliance with the provisions of this Section 4.7 shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of or consent to any Default or Event of Default of which Borrower has given Lender notice pursuant to this Section 4.7): (i) any Default hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or any Event of Default; (ii) (A) any receipt or delivery by Borrower of a notice of default or termination, (B) any proposed action with respect to any default, or (C) any failure by any person or entity to perform any material obligation, maintain any material representation or warranty or satisfy any material condition, in each instance, in connection with any Lease, the Management Agreement, any material Contract, any Easement, any recorded instrument or any Permit; (iii) the filing of any action, suit or proceeding against or affecting Borrower or the Premises that, if adversely determined, could singly or collectively (A) impair the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect, or (B) result in a Lien on any portion of the Premises; and/or (iv) any notice received from any Governmental Authority asserting a violation of any material Legal Requirement and any correspondence to or from Borrower with respect thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower will transmit to Lender, immediately upon receipt thereof, any communication (addressed to Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower) which relates to matters which could adversely affect Lender's security for the Loan or could have an adverse effect on the financial condition of Borrower and/or any other Significant Party, and will promptly respond fully to any inquiry of Lender made with respect thereto. Section 4.8 ERISA. (a) In addition to the prohibitions set forth in Section 4.2 hereof, and not in limitation thereof, Borrower shall not Transfer or hypothecate its interest or rights in this Agreement or in the Premises, or attempt to do any of the foregoing or suffer any of the foregoing, nor shall any Person owning a direct or indirect interest in Borrower Transfer any of its rights or interest (direct or indirect) in Borrower, attempt to do any of the foregoing or suffer any of the foregoing, nor shall Borrower or any Person owning a direct or indirect interest in Borrower take, without limitation, any action or fail to take any action, if, in any such case, doing so would (i) cause the Loan or the exercise of any of Lender's rights in connection therewith to constitute a Prohibited Transaction (unless Borrower furnishes a legal opinion reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the same is exempt from the Prohibited Transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code or otherwise does not constitute a Prohibited Transaction), assuming solely for this purpose that Lender is a Party In Interest or a Disqualified Person with respect to an employee benefit plan, if any, which has directly or indirectly invested in Borrower or General Partner, or (ii) otherwise result in Lender being deemed in violation of any applicable provisions of ERISA with respect to the Loan. Borrower and General Partner shall take such steps as are necessary to assure that each of them (and their respective shareholders, partners and members) does not commit any act, or fail to commit any act, the occurrence of which or the failure of which to occur would cause the Loan to be a Prohibited Transaction. (b) If the provisions of this Section 4.8 are violated, Borrower agrees, at its own cost and expense, to take such steps as Lender shall reasonably request to prevent the occurrence of a Prohibited Transaction or to correct the occurrence of a Prohibited Transaction. Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Indemnified Parties free and harmless from and against all loss, costs (including attorney's fees and expenses), taxes, penalties, damages and expenses any Indemnified Party may suffer by reason of the investigation, defense and settlement of claims based upon a breach of the foregoing provisions. The provisions of Section 6.5 hereof shall apply to such indemnification. The foregoing indemnification shall survive repayment of the Loan. Section 4.9 Agreements with Affiliates. Borrower shall not enter into any contract, agreement or other arrangement with any Affiliate of Borrower without Lender's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld provided such contract or agreement provides for market rates which would be charged by third parties which are not Affiliates in respect of the goods and/or services provided thereunder. If requested by Lender, such contract or agreement shall provide Lender the right to terminate it upon Lender's (or its designee's) acquisition of the Premises through foreclosure, a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, Uniform Commercial Code sale or otherwise. Section 4.10 After Acquired Property. Borrower will grant to Lender a first lien security interest in and to all equipment and other personal property owned by Borrower, whether or not used in the construction, maintenance and/or operation of the Improvements, immediately upon acquisition of same or any part of same.

Borrower shall cause the Manager and its Affiliates to make all records relating to the Premises available to Lender and shall cause the Manager to cooperate with any examination, audit or other inquiry (including causing the personnel responsible for the Premises to be available to respond to inquiries).

As a condition to its retention as Manager, each Manager shall execute and deliver a subordination and recognition agreement in respect of its Management Agreement, which agreement shall also contain (A) an estoppel from the Manager to the effect, inter alia, that the Management Agreement is in full force and effect and (B) an acknowledgment by the Manager of the provisions of Section 4.13.2, and which shall otherwise be satisfactory in form and substance to Lender. 4.13.2 Management Termination.

The exercise of one right, power or remedy shall not be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy; and no delay or omission of Lender in the exercise of any right, power or remedy accruing hereunder or arising otherwise shall impair any such right, power or remedy, or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or acquiescence therein. Enumeration of special rights or powers herein, in the Mortgage or in the other Loan Documents shall not be construed to limit any grant of general rights or powers herein, in the Mortgage or in the other Loan Documents or to limit Lender's exercise of any and all rights granted under the laws of the State of New York, the state where the Premises are located or the United States of America. No act of Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any provision herein or in any other Loan Document to the exclusion of any other provision herein or in any other Loan Document.

In the case of any such waiver, the rights of Borrower shall be otherwise unaffected, and any Default or Event of Default so waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing only to the extent, and only on the conditions or limitations, set forth in such waiver, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right, remedy or power consequent thereupon. Section 6.2 Lender's Action for its Own Protection Only. The authority herein conferred upon Lender, and any action taken by Lender, to inspect the Premises, to review and/or approve all documents and instruments submitted to Lender, or otherwise, will be exercised and taken by Lender and by Lender's employees, agents, consultants or representatives for their own protection only and may not be relied upon by Borrower or any other party for any purposes whatever; and neither Lender nor Lender's employees, agents, consultants or representatives shall be deemed to have assumed any responsibility to Borrower or any other party with respect to any such action herein or under any of the other Loan Documents authorized to be taken by Lender or Lender's employees, agents and representatives. Any review, investigation or inspection conducted by Lender, any architect, engineer or other consultant retained by Lender, or any agent or representative of Lender, in order to verify independently Borrower's satisfaction of the covenants, agreements and obligations of Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or the validity of any representations and warranties made by Borrower or any other party (regardless of whether or not the party conducting such review, investigation or inspection should have discovered that any of such conditions precedent were not satisfied or that any such covenants, agreements or obligations were not performed or that any such representations or warranties were not true) shall not affect (or constitute, except as may specifically be provided in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents to the contrary, a waiver by Lender of) (i) any representations and warranties under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or Lender's reliance thereon, or (ii) Lender's reliance upon any certifications of Borrower or any other party in connection with the Loan, or any other facts, information or reports furnished to Lender by Borrower or any other party in connection with the Loan. Lender neither undertakes nor assumes any responsibility or duty to Borrower to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform Borrower of any matter in connection with the Premises, and Borrower shall rely entirely upon its own judgment with respect to such matters, and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information to Borrower by Lender in connection with such matters is for the protection of Lender only and neither Borrower nor any third party is entitled to rely thereon. Section 6.3 No Third Party Beneficiaries. All conditions to the obligations of Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and its Assignees and Participants, if any, and its or their successors and assigns, and no other Person (other than Servicer) shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms, or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to advance proceeds of the Loan or refuse to agree or consent to any matter in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof, and no other Person (other than Servicer) shall, under any circumstances, be deemed to be the beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender at any time if, in its sole discretion, it deems it advisable to do so, it being further understood that Lender and its Assignees and Participants, if any, and its or their successors and assigns, shall have no obligation to see to it that the Improvements or any other work required or contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents are properly and/or timely completed. Section 6.4 Payment of Expenses, Etc. 6.4.1 Payment of Expenses. Borrower will, on the Closing Date and at all times thereafter, pay all costs and fees incurred by Lender in connection with the preparation, negotiation, consummation, execution, administration, repayment, collection and enforcement of the Loan, the Loan Documents and any approval, consent, amendment, modification or waiver related thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower will pay: (i) all Lender's Counsel Fees in connection with the foregoing; (ii) all taxes and recording fees and expenses, including, without limitation, stamp and/or mortgage taxes and transfer taxes, if any; (iii) all fees and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender, including all expenses of Lender and its respective agents and representatives, in connection with any Default or Event of Default hereunder, under the Note or under any other Loan Document or the collection or enforcement thereof; (iv) subject to Sections 4.18 and 6.27 hereof, all fees and expenses of any environmental, engineering, appraisal, construction, insurance or other consultants retained by Lender in connection with the Loan or the administration, enforcement or collection thereof; and (v) all brokers' fees and commissions relative to the Loan, the Premises and/or any lease or purchase contract affecting same. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent that Lender, after the Closing Date, deems it necessary to employ counsel and/or any other consultant for whatever purpose relative to the Loan or Lender's interest in the Premises, including, without limitation, all future amendments, supplements, notices, recordings, approvals, consents and waivers with respect to the Loan Documents (or any proposal by Borrower therefor), whether or not consummated, the adjustment and collection of any and all insurance proceeds with respect to any insurance coverage required hereunder, or obtaining any and all awards in connection with any condemnation, the fees and expenses of such counsel and/or consultants shall be borne by Borrower. Any fees and expenses referred to in this Section 6.4 which are incurred by Lender are to be paid by Borrower within five (5) days after demand is made by Lender therefor. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any loss, cost (including attorneys' fees) or damage whatsoever incurred by Lender as a result of Borrower's failure to pay any cost or expense contemplated hereby. The provisions of this Section 6.4.1 are not intended to limit any other obligation of Borrower or any other Obligated Party to pay fees and expenses of Lender or other Persons contained herein or in any other Loan Document. 6.4.2 Advances Secured. All costs and expenses incurred and payments made by Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents from time to time, which are to be paid or reimbursed by Borrower as described herein or in any of the other Loan Documents shall, as and when advanced or incurred by Lender, constitute protective advances evidenced by the Note and secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents to the same extent and with the same effect as if the terms and provisions of this Agreement were set forth therein, whether or not the principal balance of the Note plus such protective advances shall exceed the face amount of the Note. If Borrower shall fail to reimburse or pay to Lender the amount of such protective advances by the applicable due date therefor, interest at the Default Rate shall accrue on such protective advances from the date such protective advances were made by Lender to and including the date that such protective advances are reimbursed or paid to Lender in full, together with all such accrued interest thereon. Section 6.5 Indemnification. (a) In addition to any other indemnifications provided herein or in the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall protect, defend, indemnify and save harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, demands, damages, penalties, causes of action, losses, fines, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements) and Environmental Costs, imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Party (other than by reason of such Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct, provided that such gross negligence or willful misconduct is determined to have occurred by a final and unappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction) by reason of (i) ownership or holding of the Mortgage, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Premises or any interest therein or any other Collateral, including any funds deposited with Lender, (ii) receipt and application of any Receipts or an Indemnified Party's payment or non-payment of cost and expenses of operating the Premises, (iii) any accident, injury to or death of Persons or loss of or damage to property occurring on or about the Premises or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways, (iv) any design, construction, alteration, operation, maintenance, use, nonuse or condition of the Premises or any part thereof or on adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways, (v) any failure on the part of Borrower to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (vi) performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Premises or any part thereof, (vii) any failure of the Premises to comply with any Legal Requirements, (viii) the presence in, at or under the Premises of any Hazardous Substance, or any release or discharge on or from the Premises of any Hazardous Substance, (ix) any representation or warranty made in the Note, the Mortgage, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents being false or misleading in any material respect as of the date such representation or warranty was made, (x) except to the extent any such claims are made solely as a result of any dealings between Lender and any broker, finder or similar person claiming to be entitled to a commission in connection with the Loan, and with whom Borrower has had no dealings in connection with the Loan, any claim by brokers, finders or similar Persons claiming to be entitled to a commission in connection with the Loan, any Lease or any other action involving the Premises or any part thereof, (xi) the claims of any tenant of any portion of the Premises or any person acting through or out of any tenant or otherwise arising out of or as a consequence of any Lease, (xii) any claim that the relationship of Lender and Borrower is other than that of lender and borrower, and/or (xiii) the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder. Any amounts payable to any Indemnified Party by reason of the application of this Section 6.5 shall become immediately due and payable and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date loss or damage is sustained by any Indemnified Party until paid. The obligations and liabilities of Borrower under this Section 6.5 shall survive any termination, satisfaction or assignment of this Agreement and the exercise by Lender of any of its rights or remedies hereunder, including, but not limited to, the acquisition of the Premises by foreclosure or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure. (b) In case any claim, action or proceeding (a "Claim") is brought against any Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnification may be sought by such Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 6.5, such Indemnified Party shall give notice thereof to Borrower, provided, however, that the failure of such Indemnified Party to so notify Borrower shall not limit or affect such Indemnified Party's rights to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 6.5, except to the extent such delay shall materially and adversely prejudice Borrower's defense of such Claim. Upon receipt of such notice of Claim, Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, diligently defend any such Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party (it being understood that counsel selected by Borrower's insurance carrier shall be deemed to be acceptable to such Indemnified Party, provided that such insurer is an acceptable insurer under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or otherwise was accepted by Lender as an insurer), which counsel may, without limiting the rights of Indemnified Party pursuant to the next succeeding sentence, also represent Borrower in such Claim. In the alternative, the Indemnified Parties may elect to conduct their own defense through counsel of their own choosing, and at the expense of Borrower, if (i) the Indemnified Parties reasonably determine that the conduct of its defense by Borrower presents a conflict or potential conflict between Borrower and Lender that would make separate representation advisable or otherwise could be prejudicial to its interests, (ii) Borrower refuses to defend or (iii) Borrower (or, if applicable, its insurance carrier) shall have failed, in Lender's reasonable judgment, to diligently defend the Claim. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, Borrower shall not be responsible for the fees of counsel for any Indemnified Party incurred in connection with the indemnification contained in this Section 6.5. Borrower may settle any Claim against Indemnified Parties without such Indemnified Parties' consent, provided that (i) such settlement is without any liability, cost or expense whatsoever to such Indemnified Parties, (ii) the settlement does not include or require any admission of liability or culpability by such Indemnified Parties under any Legal Requirement, whether criminal or civil in nature, and (iii) Borrower obtains an effective written release of liability for such Indemnified Parties from the party to the Claim with whom such settlement is being made, which release must be reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Parties, and a dismissal with prejudice with respect to all claims made by the party with whom such settlement is being made, with respect to any pending legal action against such Indemnified Parties in connection with such Claim. If the Indemnified Parties are conducting their own defense as provided above, Borrower shall be responsible for any good faith settlement of such Claim entered into by such Indemnified Parties, and such Indemnified Parties shall not be required to obtain Borrower's consent to any such settlement. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as requiring any Indemnified Parties to expend funds or incur costs to defend any Claim in connection with the matters for which such Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.5. Section 6.6 Notices. Any notice, report, demand or other instrument authorized or required to be given or furnished ("Notices") shall be in writing and shall be given as follows: (i) by hand delivery; (ii) by deposit in the United States mail as first class certified mail, return receipt requested, postage paid; (iii) by overnight nationwide commercial courier service; or (iv) by telecopy transmission with a confirmation copy to be delivered by duplicate notice in accordance with any of clauses (i) through (iii) above, in each case, to the party intended to receive the same at the following address(es): Lender: Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Capital LLC Principal Transactions 11 Madison Avenue New York, New York 10010 Attention: Asset Management Re: Mark Centers Trust/Marc Warren Telecopier: (212) 325-8162 with a copy to: Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Capital LLC Legal & Compliance Department 11 Madison Avenue New York, New York 10010 Attention: Colleen Graham, Esq.

Notice for either party may be given by its respective counsel. Additionally, notice from Lender may also be given by Servicer. Section 6.7 No Oral Modification. Borrower recognizes that, in general, borrowers who experience difficulties in honoring their loan obligations, in an effort to inhibit or impede lenders from exercising the rights and remedies available to lenders pursuant to mortgages, notes, loan agreements or other instruments evidencing or affecting loan transactions, frequently present in court the argument, often without merit, that some loan officer or administrator of lender made an oral modification or made some statement which could be interpreted as an extension or modification or amendment of one or more debt instruments and that the borrower relied to its detriment upon such "oral modification of the loan document." For that reason, and in order to protect Lender from such allegations in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, Borrower acknowledges that this Agreement, the Mortgage, the Note and the other Loan Documents and all instruments referred to in any of them can be extended, modified or amended only in a writing executed by Lender and Borrower and that none of the rights or benefits of Lender can be waived permanently except in a written document executed by Lender. Borrower further acknowledges Borrower's understanding that no officer or administrator of Lender has the power or the authority from Lender to make an oral extension or modification or amendment of any such instrument or agreement on behalf of Lender. Section 6.8 Assignment by Lender. 6.8.1 Assignment. Lender may assign (and thereafter, at any time and from time to time, repurchase) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to one or more Persons ("Assignees"; the term "Assignee" or "Assignees" shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Lender) and, with respect to any Assignee, be released from its rights and obligations as Lender in respect of such portion of the Loan, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 6.8.2 Participations. Lender and each of the other Assignees may sell participations in the Loan to one or more Persons (collectively, the "Participants"). Notwithstanding such sale, (i) the selling party's obligations to Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged by reason thereof, and (ii) the selling party shall remain solely responsible to Borrower for the performance of such obligations. In order to assist Lender in any sales of interests in the Loan, Borrower agrees for itself, and agrees to cause General Partner and the Manager, to reasonably cooperate with Lender in connection with any efforts by Lender to obtain one or more Assignees or Participants, to provide additional information and to execute and deliver such further documents, instruments or agreements, in each case, as Lender or any Assignee or Participant may reasonably require. 6.8.3 Assignment and Acceptance. From and after the effective date of any assignment to an Assignee, (i) such Assignee shall be a party hereto and to each of the other Loan Documents to the extent of the applicable percentage or percentages assigned to such Assignee and, except as otherwise specified herein, shall succeed to the rights and obligations of Lender hereunder in respect of such applicable percentage or percentages, and (ii) Lender shall relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents to the extent of such applicable percentage or percentages. The liabilities of Lender and each of the other Assignees shall be separate and not joint and several. Neither Lender nor any Assignee shall be responsible for the obligations of any other Assignee. 6.8.4 Other Business. Lender, each Assignee and each Participant and their respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with, Borrower, any Affiliate of Borrower, any of Borrower's subsidiaries and any Person who may do business with or own interests in or securities of Borrower or any such Affiliate or subsidiary, without any duty to account therefor to each other. 6.8.5 Privity of Contract. This Agreement is being entered into by Lender individually and as agent for all present and future Assignees, and privity of contract is hereby created among Lender, all present and future Assignees and Borrower. 6.8.6 Availability of Records. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender may provide to any Assignees or prospective Assignees, and that Lender and each of the Assignees may provide to any Participants or prospective Participants, originals or copies of this Agreement, all other Loan Documents and all other documents, instruments, certificates, opinions, insurance policies, letters of credit, reports, requisitions and other materials and information of every nature or description, and may communicate all oral information, at any time submitted by or on behalf of Borrower, General Partner, the Manager, any other Significant Party or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing. Section 6.9 Severability. In the event that any of the covenants, agreements, terms or provisions contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or any other Loan Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity of the remaining covenants, agreements, terms or provisions contained herein or in the Note, the Mortgage or any other Loan Document shall be in no way affected, prejudiced or diminished thereby. Section 6.10 No Assignment by Borrower. Borrower shall not assign or transfer any of its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of Lender. Any assignment made without Lender's prior written consent shall be void. Section 6.11 Governing Law. The place of negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement is the State of New York. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except that the provisions of the laws of the State of South Carolina or Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as applicable, shall be applicable to the creation, perfection and enforcement of the Liens created by the applicable Mortgage. It is the intent of the parties hereto that the provisions of Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York apply to this Agreement. Section 6.12 Successors and/or Assigns. Subject to the restrictions on transfer and assignment contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and/or assigns of such party, and this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding on the parties hereto and the successors and/or assigns of such party. Section 6.13 Entire Contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including all annexes, schedules and exhibits hereto and all other documents furnished to Lender in connection with this Agreement and/or the Loan, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and shall supersede and take the place of any other instruments purporting to be an agreement of the parties hereto relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, any letter of intent or loan commitment letter. Section 6.14 Liability. If Borrower consists of more than one Person, the obligations and liabilities of each such Person hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be joint and several. Section 6.15 Counterparts; Headings. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one instrument. The captions and headings of the various sections of this Agreement are for purposes of reference only and are not to be construed as confining or limiting in any way the scope or intent of the provisions hereof. Whenever the context requires or permits, the singular shall include the plural, the plural shall include the singular, and the masculine, feminine and neuter shall be freely interchangeable. Section 6.16 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence as to Borrower's obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Section 6.17 Consents. 6.17.1 No Subsequent Consent. Any consent or approval by Lender in any single instance shall not be deemed or construed to be Lender's consent or approval in any like matter arising at a subsequent date. Any consent or approval requested of and granted by Lender pursuant hereto or to any of the other Loan Documents shall be narrowly construed to be applicable only to Borrower and to the matter identified in such consent or approval and no third party shall claim any benefit by reason thereof. Wherever this Agreement, the Mortgage, the Cash Management Agreement or any other Loan Document refers to the consent or approval of Lender, or provides that any document or Person will be satisfactory or acceptable to Lender or words of similar import, (i) such consent or approval may be given or withheld by Lender, and such document or Person must be satisfactory or acceptable to Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, unless otherwise expressly provided herein or therein, and (ii) such consent or approval shall not be effective unless given in writing. Wherever this Agreement, the Mortgage, the Cash Management Agreement or any other Loan Document refers to the provision of documents or other items being as Lender may require, provides for the selection by Lender of any person to provide reports or other items hereunder or thereunder or for the selection by Lender of any means of determining any matter, or otherwise refers to terms and conditions hereof or thereof being as Lender deems appropriate, any such requirement, selection or determination of appropriateness shall be made by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion, unless expressly provided otherwise herein or therein. The foregoing provisions are intended to be effective whether or not the applicable provision hereof or of any other Loan Document specifies that the applicable consent, approval or other matter is to be determined by Lender in its "sole and absolute discretion" or words of similar import. 6.17.2 Withholding of Consent. Wherever in this Agreement, the Mortgage, the Cash Management Agreement or any other Loan Document, reference is made to any consent or approval not being "unreasonably withheld" or words of similar import, the same shall be deemed to include within its meaning (unless expressly provided otherwise) that if such consent or approval is to be granted, the same will occur within a commercially reasonable period of time. If Borrower believes that Lender has improperly failed to grant its consent or approval (or otherwise improperly failed to act as requested by Borrower as described in Section 6.17.1 hereof (e.g., determined that a document is not acceptable to Lender) hereunder or under the Mortgage, the Cash Management Agreement or any other Loan Document (including, without limitation, by failing to respond within a commercially reasonable period of time) where such consent or approval is required to be given by (or such action which was not taken is in breach of) the terms of this Agreement or such other Loan Document, Borrower's sole remedy shall be to obtain declaratory relief in a final, non-appealable judgment determining such withholding to have been improper, whereupon such consent or approval shall be deemed given (or such other action described in Section 6.17.1 hereof shall be deemed taken), and Borrower hereby waives all claims for damages or set-off resulting from any withholding of consent or approval (or failure to take any other action described in Section 6.17.1 hereof) by Lender. Section 6.18 No Partnership. Nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to create an equity investment in Borrower or the Premises on the part of Lender or a joint venture or partnership between Lender and Borrower, it being the intent of the parties hereto that only the relationship of lender and borrower shall exist with respect to the Premises. Borrower agrees that it shall report this transaction for income tax purposes, and file all related tax returns, in a manner consistent with the form of this transaction as a loan. Section 6.19 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED ON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT, THE MORTGAGE, THE CASH MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTIONS OF BORROWER, GENERAL PARTNER OR LENDER RELATING TO THE LOAN AND/OR THE LENDING RELATIONSHIP WHICH IS THE SUBJECT OF THIS AGREEMENT. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR LENDER ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. Section 6.20 Limited Recourse. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, except as provided otherwise in this Section 6.20, neither Borrower nor any direct or indirect member, shareholder, partner, principal, Affiliate, employee, officer, director, agent or representative of Borrower (each, a "Related Party") shall have any personal liability for (i) the payment of any sum of money which is or may be payable hereunder or under the Note or any other Loan Document, including, but not limited to, the repayment of the Loan, or (ii) the performance or discharge of any covenants, obligations or undertakings of Borrower hereunder or under any Loan Document, and no monetary or deficiency judgment shall be sought or enforced against Borrower or any Related Party with respect thereto; provided, however, that a judgment may be sought against Borrower or any Related Party to enforce the rights of Lender in, to or against the Premises, including the Receipts and any other Collateral, and Lender shall have full recourse to and the right to proceed against the Premises, the Receipts and any other Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall impair the validity of the Obligations or in any way affect or impair the Lien of the Mortgage, or the right of Lender to enforce any and all rights and remedies under and by virtue of the Note, this Agreement and/or any other Loan Document (limited, however, as expressly provided otherwise above), including, without limitation, naming Borrower as a party defendant in any foreclosure action, or limit Lender from pursuing or seeking to enforce the rights of Lender against any third parties, including any guarantor, indemnitor or surety under any guaranty or indemnity delivered in connection with this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document or otherwise in connection with the Loan. Additionally, the provisions of this Section 6.20 shall not relieve Borrower from any personal liability for, and Borrower shall be fully and personally liable for, (i) the full recourse obligation to pay the Obligations upon the occurrence of any event set forth in the following clauses (M) and/or (N), and (ii) any liabilities, costs, losses (including, without limitation, any reduction in value of the Premises or any other Collateral, or the loss of any such Collateral or Lender's security interest therein), damages, expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements and court costs, if any), or claims suffered or incurred by Lender (or any Indemnified Party) by reason of or in connection with the occurrence of any event set forth in any of the following clauses (A) through (O): (A) any fraud or breach of trust by Borrower or any Related Party, including by reason of any claim under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act ("RICO"); (B) the misapplication of any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards; (C) the failure of Borrower or any Related Party to direct or pay Receipts received by Borrower or any Related Party to the Clearing Account or the Cash Collateral Account; (D) the misapplication by Borrower or any Related Party (or at any such Person's direction) of monies held in or paid out from any account (including any reserve or escrow) maintained under this Agreement, the Cash Management Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, including without limitation, monies paid to Borrower pursuant to Section 8 of the Cash Management Agreement and the related Disbursement Instructions; (E) any and all tenant security deposits held by Borrower not being properly applied, returned to tenants when due or delivered to Lender, any receiver or any Person purchasing the Premises at a foreclosure sale upon the taking of possession of the Premises by Lender, such receiver or other Person as provided herein; (F) a breach by Borrower of any of the covenants contained in Sections 4.2 or 4.8 hereof; (G) wrongful removal or destruction of property constituting the Premises or any intentional waste of the Premises by Borrower or a Related Party; (H) any Legal Requirement (including RICO) mandating the forfeiture by Borrower of the Premises, or any portion thereof, because of the conduct or purported conduct of criminal activity by Borrower or any Related Party in connection therewith; (I) any material misrepresentation, miscertification or breach of warranty by Borrower with respect to any representation, warranty or certification contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any document executed in connection therewith, pursuant to any of the Loan Documents or otherwise to induce Lender to make the Loan, or any advance thereof, or to release monies from any account held by Lender (including any reserve or escrow) or to take any other action with respect to any of the Collateral; (J) a breach of any of the provisions of Article 8 hereof (if and to the extent a substantive consolidation of Borrower and another Person occurs as a result thereof); (K) any damage or destruction of the Premises or any part thereof due to fire or other casualty to the extent not covered by insurance required under the Mortgage, but only to the extent the same would have been covered by insurance if Borrower had obtained and maintained the insurance coverage required under the Mortgage; (L) the amount of any Lien voluntarily placed on the Premises by Borrower (or any predecessor-owner of the Premises which is an Affiliate of Borrower) which is prior to the Lien of the Mortgage against the Property; (M) (1) Borrower or General Partner filing a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, or (2) any Related Party filing or joining in the filing of, an involuntary petition against Borrower or General Partner under the Bankruptcy Code or any other federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, or (3) Borrower or General Partner filing an answer consenting to or acquiescing in any involuntary petition filed against it or against Borrower or General Partner by any other Person under the Bankruptcy Code or any other federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, or (4) any Related Party consenting to or acquiescing in or joining in an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or examiner for Borrower or General Partner or any portion of the Collateral, or (5) Borrower or General Partner making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admitting its insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due;

or (O) the cost of enforcement of any of Lender's rights or remedies hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or costs incurred in any bankruptcy or similar proceeding which may be brought by or against Borrower or General Partner. Nothing contained herein is intended to limit the obligations and personal liability of the guarantors under any guaranty and the indemnitors under any indemnity agreement, including, without limitation, the Environmental Indemnification Agreement, executed by Borrower or any other Person for the benefit of Lender. Section 6.21 Limitation on Liability. In no event shall Lender be liable to Borrower for consequential damages, whatever the nature of a breach by Lender of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and Borrower, for itself and all Related Parties, hereby waives all claims for consequential damages. Unless, within ninety (90) days after Borrower first has actual knowledge of the occurrence of any event about which Borrower has a dispute or claim, Borrower notifies Lender in writing of the general nature of its dispute or claim, Borrower shall be deemed to have waived any and all rights to raise such dispute or claim in any lawsuit, action or proceeding of any kind.

Section 6.25 Further Assurances. (a) Borrower will, at its sole cost and expense, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further acts, conveyances, notes, mortgages, assignments, security agreements, financing statements and assurances as Lender shall from time to time require or deem advisable (i) to carry into effect the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) for the better assuring, conveying, mortgaging, assigning and confirming unto Lender of all property and rights mortgaged, granted, bargained, alienated, confirmed, pledged, hypothecated, conveyed or assigned by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or property intended now or hereafter to be, or which Borrower may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to Lender, (iii) for facilitating the placement of a Loan Interest in a Loan Pool as described in Section 6.27 hereof, (iv) for the perfection of any Lien or security interest granted herein or in the other Loan Documents, and (v) for the better assuring and confirming of all of Lender's rights, powers and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

(b) Borrower forthwith upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement and thereafter, from time to time, will cause the Mortgage and any security instrument creating a Lien or security interest or evidencing the Lien of the Mortgage and the other applicable Loan Documents upon the Premises or other property and each instrument of further assurance to be filed, registered or recorded in such manner and in such places as may be required by any present or future Legal Requirement in order to publish notice of and fully to protect the Lien or security interest of, and the priority of, each of the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents upon, and the interest of Lender in, the Premises or other applicable property.

Section 6.26 Recitals. The Recitals set forth at the beginning of this Agreement are hereby incorporated into the substantive provisions of this Agreement. Section 6.27 Placement of Loan. 6.27.1 Loan Pool. Borrower acknowledges that Lender, any Assignee or any Participant (each of Lender, any Assignee or any Participant, a "Placement Party") may elect to place the Loan, or its participation interest in the Loan, as the case may be (whichever of the Loan or such participation is to be so placed, is called the "Loan Interest") in a pool of loans, participation interests and/or notes secured by or dependent on the cash flow of mortgage loans, which will constitute security for a rated securities offering (such pool is called a "Loan Pool"; and such rated securities offering is called a "Securitization"). 6.27.2 Rating Agency Requirements. At the request of Lender, Borrower will, at its sole cost and expense (which shall not exceed $10,000.00), use its best efforts to satisfy the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may be required in the marketplace or by any Rating Agency in order to enable a Placement Party to place a Loan Interest in a Loan Pool, including, without limitation, to: (i) structure and maintain its organizational, operational and financial affairs and those of its Affiliates (collectively, the "Entities") as special-purpose bankruptcy remote entities to enable its counsel to render a reasoned opinion customarily given in securitization transactions that upon a petition for bankruptcy under the Bankruptcy Code, none of an Entity as a debtor in possession, its bankruptcy trustee or its creditors could cause a court to order the substantive consolidation of the assets and liabilities of such Entity with those of Borrower or General Partner, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to, and which opinions or memoranda shall be satisfactory to, Lender and each Rating Agency; (ii) provide such financial and other information with respect to the Premises, the Manager and the Entities as may be reasonably requested by Lender or any Rating Agency for annual rating reviews, including, without limitation, occupancy statistics, average rents and periodic and annual financial statements (including cash flow statements) for the Premises (reviewed and, in the case of annual financial statements, audited) by a firm of certified public accountants reasonably acceptable to Lender and each Rating Agency (Lender acknowledging that the Approved Accountant is an accounting firm acceptable to Lender); (iii) prepare and deliver such agreements and instruments relating to the Note, the Loan Interest, the Premises and the Entities, including (A) agreements to indemnify each Rating Agency, Lender and any servicer or trustee (except to the extent that any requested indemnification for any loss, claim, damage, cost, expense or liability results solely from the negligent, or with respect to Lender, grossly negligent acts or omissions by such indemnified party in performing the duties, functions and activities undertaken by it in connection with the placement of the Loan Interest in a Loan Pool, including, without limitation, any failure by the indemnified party or parties to comply with all applicable securities laws and regulations), and (B) amendments of any of the Loan Documents that are necessary to effect the placement of the Loan Interest in a Loan Pool, as may be reasonably requested by, and in form and scope reasonably satisfactory to, Lender and each Rating Agency; provided, however, that such amendments shall not, without the consent of Borrower, affect the terms and conditions of the Note or any other material obligation of Borrower under the Loan Documents; (iv) cause to be performed such site inspections, appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews and reports (Phase I assessments and, where appropriate, Phase II assessments), engineering reports and other due diligence investigations of the Premises customarily and reasonably requested by Lender or any Rating Agency in connection with the placement of the Loan Interest in a Loan Pool and the rating of any securities issued in connection therewith; (v) provide such business plans, budgets and title insurance (including surveys) relating to the Premises as may be reasonably requested by Lender or any Rating Agency; (vi) cause counsel to render opinions as to "true sale" and bankruptcy remoteness and other matters customary in securitization transactions with respect to the Premises, the Entities, the Loan Interest and the Loan Documents, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to, and which opinion shall be satisfactory to, Lender and each Rating Agency; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be responsible for providing a "true sale" opinion that relates solely to the sale by Lender of the Loan or a Loan Interest into a Loan Pool; and (vii) make the representations and warranties contained in the Loan Documents as of the date of the closing of the transfer of the Loan Interest and make such other representations with respect to the Premises, the Entities, the Loan Interest and the Loan Documents as are customarily provided in securitization transactions and as may be reasonably requested by Lender or any Rating Agency in connection with such closing. 6.27.3 Disclosure; Indemnification. At Lender's request, Borrower shall cooperate with Lender's preparation of a private placement memorandum or registration statement and amendments and supplements thereto (the "Disclosure Document") to privately place or publicly distribute the Note or the Loan Interest or securities issued in connection therewith in a manner that satisfies the requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state Legal Requirements. At the time of Lender's preparation of such Disclosure Document, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender and any underwriter or placement agent an instrument (a "Securitization Indemnification") (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender) (i) certifying as to the veracity of all written information that it supplied and which was incorporated in such Disclosure Document, and (ii) indemnifying and holding each of them and any Person who controls any of them, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 70 of the Exchange Act (each, a "Securitization Indemnified Party"), harmless against all costs, expenses and damages incurred by any Securitization Indemnified Party as a result of any untrue statement of a material fact made or supplied by Borrower as contained in such Disclosure Document or the failure by Borrower (after receipt of a draft of the Disclosure Statement) to specify for inclusion in the Disclosure Document any material fact regarding Borrower (or any General Partner), the Premises or the Loan necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but only to the extent that such statement of material fact is made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information Borrower furnished for use therein or the omission of such a material fact is based upon Borrower's failure to specify such material fact or upon Borrower's furnishing inaccurate information that shows that such material fact is not material. If Lender (or a placement agent or underwriter acting on behalf of Lender) shall deliver a draft of the Disclosure Document to Borrower for its review, Borrower shall provide Lender (or the placement agent or underwriter acting on behalf of Lender) with its comments, if any, on such Disclosure Document as soon as practicable, but in all events within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof, in the case of the first draft of such Disclosure Document, and within three (3) Domestic Business Days after receipt of any subsequent draft of such Disclosure Document. If, in connection with such review, Borrower advises Lender of the existence of a fact regarding Borrower (or any General Partner), the Premises or the Loan and advises Lender that it deems such fact material, Lender shall include such fact in the Disclosure Document or shall waive the rights of the Indemnified Parties with respect to such fact. Upon receipt of the Securitization Indemnification, Lender shall execute and deliver to Borrower an instrument (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Borrower) indemnifying and holding Borrower harmless against all costs, expenses and damages incurred by it as a result of the preparation or distribution of, and any untrue statement of a material fact contained in, such Disclosure Document or the failure to include therein any material fact in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that such indemnification shall not apply if any such costs, expenses or damages arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement of a material fact or an omission to state a material fact in such Disclosure Document made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by Borrower expressly for use therein or (after receipt of a draft of the Disclosure Statement) the omission of a material fact concerning Borrower (or any General Partner), the Premises or the Loan (other than the express terms of the Loan Documents) necessary to make the statements in the Disclosure Statement not misleading. Borrower shall notify Lender if it is necessary to amend or supplement such Disclosure Document at any time in order that such Disclosure Document does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Lender shall prepare as soon as may be reasonably practicable an amendment or supplement to such Disclosure Document correcting such statement or omission. At the request of Lender, in connection with any sale of the Note or any Loan Interest, Borrower shall confirm, as of the date of such sale, that such Disclosure Document, as it may be so amended or supplemented, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact concerning Borrower, any General Partner, the Premises or the Loan or omit to state a material fact concerning Borrower, any General Partner, the Premises or the Loan necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Borrower shall not be obligated to incur more than $10,000.00 in the aggregate for costs incurred to comply with this Section and Section 6.27.2. 6.27.4 Trustee. It is expressly understood hereunder that in connection with the placement of any Loan Interest in a Loan Pool, Lender intends to transfer the Loan Interest to a trustee which shall hold such Loan Interest for the benefit of the holders of the interests in the Loan Pool. In connection therewith, Borrower shall execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered, all such additional instruments, and do, or cause to be done, all such additional acts as (i) may be necessary or proper to carry out such transfer, including, without limitation, the delivery of such instruments and documents, including assignments of mortgage (and similar documents), assignments of Loan Documents, re-certifications of surveys with respect to the Premises, and the delivery of such mortgagee's title insurance endorsements in favor of the trustee as may be required to confirm and/or evidence the transfer to the trustee of the title insurance issued to Lender in respect of the Premises or the Mortgage, including payment of all fees, title insurance premiums and other insurance premiums, and/ or (ii) Lender may reasonably request. 6.27.5 Information Access. Lender shall be permitted to share any information provided by Borrower pursuant to this Section 6.27 in connection with the placement of a Loan Interest in a Loan Pool with the investment banking firms, each Rating Agency, accounting firms, law firms and other third-party advisory firms involved with any transfer of the Loan, the Loan Documents or the applicable Securitization. It is understood that the information provided by Borrower to Lender may ultimately be incorporated into the offering documents for the Securitization and thus various investors may also see some or all of the information. 6.27.6 Timing of Transfer or Placement. Borrower acknowledges that any transfer of the Loan or the placement of a Loan Interest in a Loan Pool may occur at any time during the term of this Agreement and the provisions of this Section 6.27 shall be applicable throughout the Term. ARTICLE VII SPECIAL PROVISIONS Section 7.1 Tax and Insurance Escrow. In order to assure the payment of Taxes and premiums with respect to all insurance coverage required pursuant to Section 8 of the Mortgage (collectively, "Insurance Premiums") as and when the same shall become due and payable, the following provisions shall apply: 7.1.1 Tax and Insurance Deposits. On the date hereof, $239,770.44 of the Loan proceeds advanced to Borrower shall be deposited with Lender for deposit into the Tax and Insurance Escrow Subaccount (and shall constitute part of the Outstanding Principal Balance) and shall be pledged to Lender as additional Collateral, all as more particularly described in the Cash Management Agreement. Thereafter, on each Payment Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender, in immediately available funds for deposit into the Tax and Insurance Escrow Subaccount, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the Taxes and Insurance Premiums to become due during the period commencing on the first day of the first month following such Payment Date and ending twelve (12) months following such first day. In all cases there must be paid hereunder, to be deposited and held in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Subaccount, an amount sufficient to pay such Taxes and Insurance Premiums, one month prior to the date when they are due and payable. The amounts of all of the foregoing deposits with respect to Taxes and Insurance Premiums together with all interest accruing thereon from time to time, being (herein collectively called "Tax and Insurance Deposits") shall be determined by Lender based on actual invoices, or if such invoices are not available, based on one hundred and five percent (105%) of the cost of the prior year's Taxes and Insurance Premiums. Borrower shall promptly, upon the demand of Lender, make additional Tax and Insurance Deposits as Lender may from time to time require due to (i) failure of Borrower to make Tax and Insurance Deposits in previous months, (ii) underestimation of the amounts of Taxes and/or Insurance Premiums, (iii) the particular due dates and amounts of Taxes and/or Insurance Premiums, or (iv) application of the Tax and Insurance Deposits pursuant to this Agreement. All Tax and Insurance Deposits shall be held by Lender in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Subaccount and invested and applied as provided in the Cash Management Agreement. 7.1.2 Payment of Taxes and Insurance Premiums. Provided that no Event of Default has then occurred and is continuing, Lender will, out of the funds in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Subaccount (provided such funds are sufficient for such purpose), upon the presentation to Lender by Borrower of the bills therefor, pay the Taxes and Insurance Premiums or will, upon the presentation of official receipted bills therefor, reimburse Borrower for such payments made by Borrower. If the total funds on deposit in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Subaccount shall not be sufficient to pay all of the Taxes and Insurance Premiums when the same shall become due, then Borrower shall pay to Lender on demand the amount necessary to make up the deficiency. Lender shall be entitled, without request of Borrower, but, prior to an Event of Default upon two (2) Domestic Business Days notice to Borrower, to apply any funds in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Subaccount to the payment of any Taxes (other than any Taxes which Borrower has notified Lender that it is contesting and such contest is then permitted under the Mortgage) and Insurance Premiums which have become due and have not yet been paid. Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that Borrower shall not be in default under the Mortgage for failure to pay Taxes or Insurance Premiums, if such failure arises by reason of Lender's failure to comply with its agreement contained in this Section 7.1.2. 7.1.3 Application upon Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, at its option, without being required to do so, apply any Tax and Insurance Deposits on hand to pay Taxes or Insurance Premiums or to pay principal, interest and other amounts payable to Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, all in such order and manner as Lender, in its sole discretion, may elect. When the principal and interest under the Note and all prepayment premiums, if any, in connection therewith and all other Obligations have been fully and properly paid, any remaining Tax and Insurance Deposits shall be returned to Borrower. 7.1.4 Reliance. Lender shall be absolutely entitled to rely on any statements of any Governmental Authority with respect to Taxes and any statement of Borrower's insurance carrier or its agent with respect to Insurance Premiums. 7.1.5 Borrower's Obligations. Borrower and Lender acknowledge that Borrower shall not be in Default hereunder in its obligation to make the Tax and Insurance Deposit on any Payment Date, to the extent funds are available to make such deposit from monies deposited in the Cash Collateral Account during the applicable Collection Period after applying such funds to any item with a higher priority than such application to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Subaccount in accordance with the terms of Section 7.4.2 hereof and of the Cash Management Agreement. Any transfer of funds from the Cash Collateral Account to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Subaccount shall satisfy Borrower's obligation hereunder to make the corresponding Tax and Insurance Deposit, to the extent of the funds so transferred. 7.1.6 No Third Party Beneficiary. No provision of this Agreement, the Mortgage or any other Loan Document shall be construed as creating in any party other than Borrower and Lender (and Servicer), any rights in and to the Tax and Insurance Deposits or any rights to have the Tax and Insurance Deposits applied to payment of Taxes and Insurance Premiums. Lender shall have no obligation or duty to any third party to collect or apply Tax and Insurance Deposits. Section 7.2 Mortgage Subaccounts. 7.2.1 Interest Reserve Subaccount. (a) Upon the exercise of the Conversion Option, the Interest Reserve Holdback shall be deposited into the Cash Collateral Account for credit to the Interest Reserve Subaccount (and shall constitute a part of the Outstanding Principal Balance) (such sum, together with interest accruing thereon from time to time, being referred to herein as the "Interest Reserve Funds"), to be held as additional Collateral and to be governed by and treated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder, Lender shall apply the Interest Reserve Funds as contemplated by the following paragraphs of this Section 7.2.1. Upon and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may apply all such Interest Reserve Funds to the Obligations, in such amounts and order of priority as Lender shall elect in its sole discretion. On the Maturity Date, any such Interest Reserve Funds remaining on deposit with Lender shall, at Lender's option, be applied against the Obligations or returned to Borrower. (b) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder, and, subject in all events to Section 7.2.1(c) hereof, if, on any Payment Date, there are insufficient Receipts for the prior calendar month to cover the payment of interest then due and payable to Lender pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof (each, a "Monthly Interest Payment"), Lender shall apply Interest Reserve Funds then on deposit to the payment of such Monthly Interest Payment (or the portion thereof for which insufficient Receipts for the prior calendar month exist), and the Interest Reserve Funds shall be reduced by an equal amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that in the event that on any day on which a Monthly Interest Payment is due and payable (i) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, or (ii) the amount of such Monthly Interest Payment exceeds the Interest Reserve Funds then on deposit, Borrower shall remain liable for the payment of all Monthly Interest Payments as and when due. (c) Until the provisions of Section 7.2.1(d) hereof shall be applicable, if, at any time, and from time to time, during the Term there shall exist an Interest Reserve Subaccount Deficiency, whether due to application of Interest Reserve Funds pursuant to Section 7.2.1(b) hereof or otherwise, Borrower shall provide funds to Lender in the amount of the Interest Reserve Subaccount Deficiency, for deposit into the Cash Collateral Account and for credit to the Interest Reserve Subaccount, prior to the Payment Date immediately following the date on which such Interest Reserve Subaccount Deficiency shall have occurred. (d) Any Interest Reserve Funds on deposit in the Interest Reserve Subaccount shall be released to Borrower upon the Prepayment of the Loan. Upon the release, if ever, of the Interest Reserve Funds in accordance with this Section 7.2.1(d), all of the provisions of this Section 7.2.1 shall thereafter be of no further force or effect. 7.2.2 Intentionally Omitted. 7.2.3 Environmental Remediation Subaccount. On the date hereof, $16,375.00 of the Loan proceeds advanced to Borrower shall be deposited with Lender (and shall constitute a part of the Outstanding Principal Balance) (such sum, together with interest accruing thereon from time to time, being herein referred to as the "Environmental Remediation Funds"), to be used for funding the remediation of those environmental conditions (the "Environmental Remediation Items") at the Premises set forth on Schedule G annexed hereto. The Environmental Remediation Funds shall be deposited into the Cash Collateral Account for credit to the Environmental Remediation Subaccount and pledged to Lender as additional Collateral, all as more particularly described in the Cash Management Agreement. Funds credited to the Environmental Remediation Subaccount shall be disbursed to Borrower in accordance with the terms of Section 7.3 hereof. On the Maturity Date or on such earlier date as there shall occur an Event of Default, the moneys credited to the Environmental Remediation Subaccount shall, at the option of Lender, be applied against the outstanding Obligations. 7.2.4 Deferred Maintenance Subaccount. On the date hereof, $31,343.75 of the Loan proceeds advanced to Borrower shall be deposited with Lender (and shall constitute a part of the Outstanding Principal Balance) (such sum, together with interest accruing thereon from time to time, being herein referred to as the "Deferred Maintenance Funds") to be used for funding those deferred maintenance items at the Premises set forth on Schedule H annexed hereto (the "Deferred Maintenance Items"). The Deferred Maintenance Funds shall be deposited into the Cash Collateral Account for credit to the Deferred Maintenance Subaccount and pledged to Lender as additional Collateral, all as more particularly described in the Cash Management Agreement. Funds credited to the Deferred Maintenance Subaccount shall be disbursed to Borrower in accordance with the terms of Section 7.3 hereof. On the Maturity Date or on such earlier date as there shall occur an Event of Default, the moneys credited to the Deferred Maintenance Subaccount shall, at the option of Lender, be applied against the outstanding Obligations.. Section 7.3 Requests for Disbursement from Mortgage Subaccounts. Borrower shall, from time to time, complete the Environmental Remediation Items and the Deferred Maintenance Items (collectively, the "Work") in accordance with the time frame therefor set forth in the schedules provided to and approved by Lender. In connection with Borrower's performance of such Work, Borrower may, from time to time, request from Lender, in writing, reimbursement from the applicable Mortgage Subaccount. Borrower's request for reimbursement shall include (A) a detailed description of the Work performed, together with evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Lender, that the cost of such Work has been paid, and (B) lien waivers from each contractor and material supplier supplying labor or materials for such Work, provided that the costs of all such contractors and material suppliers shall exceed $10,000 in the aggregate, if required by Lender. 7.3.1 Conditions Precedent to Disbursement. Disbursements from the Mortgage Subaccounts shall be made no more frequently than once every Disbursement Period. Disbursements shall be made only if the following conditions precedent have been satisfied, as reasonably determined by Lender: (i) the Work has been performed and/or installed at, in or on the Premises in a good workmanlike manner with suitable materials (or in the case of a partial disbursement, performed and/or installed at, in or on the Premises to an acceptable stage) and paid for as evidenced by copies of all applicable paid invoices or bills submitted to Lender by Borrower at the time Borrower requests disbursement from the applicable Mortgage Subaccount; (ii) there shall exist no Default or Event of Default; (iii) no lien or claim based on furnishing labor or materials shall have been filed or asserted against the Premises, unless Borrower has properly provided a bond or other security against loss in accordance with applicable law; (iv) all licenses, permits and approvals of governmental authorities required for the Work as completed to the applicable stage shall have been obtained; and (v) the Work, as completed to the applicable stage, does not violate any law, ordinance, rule or regulation, or building line or restriction applicable to the Premises. 7.3.2 Lender Right to Complete. If Borrower abandons or fails to proceed diligently with and complete any Work in a timely fashion or is otherwise in Default under this Agreement, in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights and remedies available to Lender hereunder, under any of the other Loan Documents, at law or in equity, Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation) to enter upon the Premises and take over and cause the completion of such Work. Any contracts entered into or indebtedness incurred upon the exercise of such right may be in the name of Borrower, and Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed the attorney-in-fact of Borrower, such appointment being coupled with an interest, to enter into such contracts, incur such obligations, enforce any contracts or agreements made by or on behalf of Borrower (including the prosecution and defense of all actions and proceedings in connection with the Work and the payment, settlement or compromise of all bills and claims for materials and work performed in connection with the Work), and do any and all things necessary or proper to complete any Work, including signing Borrower's name to any contracts and documents as may be deemed necessary by Lender. In no event shall Lender or the Servicer be required to expend its own funds to complete any Work, but Lender may, in its sole discretion, advance such funds. Any funds advanced shall be added to the Obligations, shall be secured by the Loan Documents and shall be payable to Lender by Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof and of the other Loan Documents pertaining to the protection of Lender's security and advances made by Lender. Borrower waives any and all claims it may have against Lender and/or the Servicer for materials used, work performed or resultant damage to the Premises. 7.3.3 Inspection. Subject to the rights of tenants, Lender or any agent of Lender may periodically inspect any Work in process and upon completion during normal business hours or at any other reasonable time upon reasonable prior notice (except in the event of an emergency) given orally or in writing to Borrower. In making any such inspection, Lender shall use its best efforts not to unreasonably interfere with or disrupt Borrower's or any tenant's conduct of business. If Lender, in its sole discretion, retains a professional inspection engineer or other qualified third party to inspect any Work, Lender shall be entitled to deduct from the applicable Mortgage Subaccount an amount sufficient to pay all reasonable fees and expenses charged by such third party inspector. 7.3.4 Insufficient Account. If Borrower requests a disbursement from the applicable Mortgage Subaccount for Work in accordance with this Agreement in an amount which exceeds the amount on deposit in such Mortgage Subaccount, then, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 7.3.1 hereof with respect to such request, Lender shall cause the Servicer to disburse to Borrower only the amount then on deposit in the applicable Mortgage Subaccount. All additional amounts required in connection with any such Work shall be paid by Borrower from Borrower's own funds, provided that Borrower may request disbursement of such additional amounts from the applicable Mortgage Subaccount at a later date in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the event that there is more than one pending and unsatisfied request for disbursement hereunder and the aggregate amount requested thereunder exceeds the amount on deposit in the applicable Mortgage Subaccount, then, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 7.3.1 hereof with respect to such requests, Lender shall cause the Servicer to apply the amount on deposit in such Mortgage Subaccount to such of the requests for disbursement as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion. 7.3.5 Compliance With Laws. All Work shall comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of all governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Premises and applicable insurance requirements, including, without limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations and requirements of insurance underwriters. 7.3.6 Insurance Requirements. In addition to any insurance required under the Mortgage or any other Loan Documents, while performing Work hereunder, Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided workers' compensation, builder's risk (if required by Lender) and public liability insurance and other insurance required under applicable law in connection with such Work. All such policies which can be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses making losses payable to Lender or its assigns shall be so endorsed. The originals of such policies shall be deposited with Lender. 7.3.7 Completion of Work. The disbursement of monies from any of the Mortgage Subaccounts, or other acknowledgment by Lender and/or the Servicer of completion of any Work in a manner satisfactory to Lender, shall not be deemed a certification by Lender or the Servicer that such Work has been completed in accordance with applicable building, zoning or other codes, ordinances, statutes, laws, regulations or Legal Requirements of any Governmental Authority. Borrower shall at all times have the sole responsibility for insuring that all Work is completed in accordance with all such governmental requirements. Section 7.4 Lock Box Events; Application of Receipts. 7.4.1 Deposits into Clearing Account. After the occurrence of a Lock Box Event and thereafter throughout the Term, within one (1) Domestic Business Day of receipt by or on behalf of Borrower, all Receipts from the Premises shall be deposited into the Clearing Account, for credit to the Cash Collateral Account in accordance with the terms of the Cash Management Agreement. The terms, covenants and conditions of the Cash Management Agreement are hereby incorporated herein by reference.

The Financing Notice shall be delivered within five (5) Domestic Business Days following Borrower's and such Person's agreement with respect to the terms of the Proposed Financing. Borrower shall not enter into a binding agreement with respect to a Proposed Financing prior to giving the Financing Notice or, after the Financing Notice is given, until such time as the Financing Notice is deemed revoked pursuant to this fSection 9.3. (b) During the fifteen (15) calendar day period commencing on the date Lender receives a Financing Notice, Lender shall have the option (but not the obligation) to provide financing for Borrower on terms which shall match the material terms of the Proposed Financing ("fLender's Proposed Financing") by giving Borrower written notice (the "fExercise Notice"); fprovided, fhowever, that the terms of Lender's Proposed Financing proposed to be provided by Lender may differ from the non-material terms of the Proposed Financing. Upon Lender giving the Exercise Notice, Borrower and Lender shall negotiate in good faith the non-material terms of Lender's Proposed Financing, and Borrower shall take all action reasonably required by it or its agents to consummate a financing with Lender on the terms of the Lender's Proposed Financing, or such other terms as Borrower and Lender may agree.
