If Borrower ever requests that a property be substituted for an outstanding cash escrow or letter of credit, Borrower must comply with all of the requirements set forth in Section 6(a) through Section 6(o) above, but Borrower shall not be required to pay a new $25,000 Substitution Servicing Fee and the previously paid Substitution Servicing Fee shall be credited against the additional 0.5% fee; provided, however, if such Substitution of a property for the cash escrow or letter of credit is not completed, then Borrower must pay a $25,000 Substitution Servicing Fee for each subsequent requested Substitution of a property for such outstanding cash escrow or letter of credit and such additional Substitution Servicing Fee(s) shall not be credited against the additional 0.5% fee described in (m) above.

13

Cash and Letter of Credit End of Term Options.

The amount of the cash escrow or letter of credit will be (i) 110% of the Loan amount allocated to the Old Security, so long as the Loan to Value Ratio, calculated with respect to the Real Estate Security, excluding the cash escrow or letter of credit and excluding the Old Security, does not exceed forty-two percent (42%), otherwise, (ii) an amount such that at the time of the Substitution, the Loan to Value Ratio, calculated with respect to the Real Estate Security including the cash escrow or letter of credit but excluding the Old Security, does not exceed forty-seven percent (47%).

14

Letter of Credit Renewal. So long as such letter of credit is providing security for such Loan, it shall be regularly renewed at least 45 days prior to its expiration date, with a renewal term of at least twelve (12) months.

Substituting a cash escrow or letter of credit for an Old Security shall count as one (1) of the two (2) permitted Substitutions and/or Releases; however, the subsequent Substitution of a property for an outstanding letter of credit shall not count as one (1) of the two (2) permitted Substitutions and/or Releases.

In addition, Borrower and Guarantors hereby agree with Lender that such obligation to provide the Offer Rights can be enforced by Cellular Telephone and/or Lender against Borrower or any transferee of the Property. Borrower and Guarantors further agree that if the Non-Collateral Property is sold or transferred to any party other than Borrower or its affiliates without satisfactory amendment by Cellular Telephone of its Lease (which amendment shall provide that Cellular Telephone shall have no termination right, or other offsets, defenses, or other claims which may impair Lender’s rights to the collateral or the income stream from such Cellular Telephone upon violation of the Offer Rights by such new owner), the Loan Documents shall provide that the Loans identified with Properties in which Cellular Telephone is leasing space pursuant to such Offer Rights (the “Cellular Loans”) while the Loans are outstanding (such Properties which may become subject to occupancy by Cellular Telephone pursuant to such Offer Rights are known as Mack Centre II, Mack Centre III and Mack Centre VII, although Cellular Telephone is currently only occupying Mack Centre III and Mack Centre VII) shall be and become recourse to Borrower and the Exculpated Parties (which recourse amount of any such Loan may, if Cellular Telephone leases only a portion of the leaseable space in such Property, be a recourse amount for the “bottom portion” of such Loan balance based on the percentage of the Property leased by Cellular Telephone at such time multiplied by the principal amount of such Loan, as such occupancy percentage may thereafter change in compliance with the Loan Documents; for example, if Cellular Telephone leases one half of a building with a $10,000,000 loan, then the recourse shall be equal to $5,000,000 of such loan, and such recourse amount as to such loan shall not be diminished by the receipt of any funds in any exercise of remedies by Lender or the receipt of any paydowns from parties other than the Guarantors, except only as and to the extent that the balance of such Loan is reduced).

Based on the receipt of Certificates of Occupancy and other documentation, Borrower is under the understanding that the Properties in fact comply in all material compliance with all Laws (as defined in the Mortgage) applicable to the parking requirements for such Properties; in addition, without limiting the provisions of Section 2.04(b) of the Mortgages, Borrower has received no notice of any violation or potential violation of the Laws applicable to the parking requirements for such Properties which has not been remedied or satisfied. Borrower and Guarantors hereby covenant and agree that, without limiting the provisions of Section 3.05(c) of the Mortgages, that if proceedings are initiated alleging, or Borrower receives notice, that it or the Property is not in compliance with the Laws applicable to the parking requirements for such Properties (a “Parking Violation Notice”), Borrower will promptly send Lender notice and a copy of the proceeding or violation notice, and that if the Property is not in compliance with all Laws, and, without limiting the provisions of Section 3.05(c) of the Mortgages, but subject to the Parking Contest Rights (as defined below) Borrower and Guarantor shall undertake and shall be liable for the cost (the “Additional Parking Cost”) to (i) build any additional parking spaces necessary to comply with such Laws and/or (ii) as and if necessary to secure such compliance, acquire any additional land necessary to provide such parking spaces in compliance with Laws.

The term “Event of Default,” as used in this Agreement, shall mean the occurrence of any of the events described in Section 6.01 of the Mortgages (and the term “Default”, as used in this Agreement, shall mean the occurrence of any of such events, without regard to any requirement of notice or whether any cure period is required in order to constitute an Event of Default). Any periods of notice and cure set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents (or set forth in more than one Loan Document) shall run concurrently, and not consecutively.

        Section 9.2. Acceleration and Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur, then, and in any such event, so long as the same may be continuing, Lender may declare the entire balance of the Obligations (including the entire principal balance thereof, all accrued and unpaid interest and any prepayment premium and late charges thereon and all other such sums secured hereby) to be immediately due and payable, and upon any such declaration the entire unpaid balance of the Obligations shall become and be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Borrower, anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding. In case any one or more of the Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and whether or not Lender shall have exercised any of their rights under the Loan Documents, Lender may proceed to protect and enforce the rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents by suit in equity, action at law or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any instrument pursuant to which the Obligations to such Lender are evidenced, including to the full extent permitted by applicable law, the obtaining of the ex parte appointment of a receiver. No remedy herein conferred upon any Lender is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or any other provision of law.

        Section 9.3. Distribution of Collateral Proceeds. In the event that, following the occurrence or during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender receive any monies in connection with the enforcement of any of the Security Documents, or otherwise with respect to the realization upon any of the Collateral, such monies shall be distributed in accordance with the Loan Documents to such portion of the Loans as Lender may desire.

Lender represent to Borrowers that they have not engaged or used the services of any mortgage broker in connection with the Loan. Lender, on one hand, and Guarantor and Borrowers, on the other hand, shall each indemnify and hold the other harmless against the payment of any brokerage commissions or fees of any kind with respect to the Loan, and for any legal fees or expenses incurred by the other in connection with any claims for such commissions or fees by any person engaged, or claiming to have been engaged, by the indemnifying party (and no Lender shall be liable for any such obligation hereunder with respect to any mortgage broker or other person claiming such rights or commissions on account of such person’s distribution of loan solicitations or other materials with respect to any of the Properties or such Lender’s receipt thereof). Such indemnity shall not be subject to the limitations on personal liability set forth in Section 3 hereof.

        Section 12. EFFECT OF APPROVALS. Any approval by Lender of documents or materials submitted by any Borrower or by Guarantor shall be for loan underwriting purposes only, and Borrowers and Guarantor acknowledge that they are not in any way relying upon such approval for any purpose other than satisfaction of the terms and conditions of the Application. The mere fact that the description of any document, report or other item required by the Application sets forth certain information to be provided therein, does not obligate Lender to approve the content of such information when it appears in such document, report or other item. Any such approvals are to be relied upon by Lender only, and shall not constitute an assumption of liability by Lender with respect to Guarantor, any Borrower, or any contractors, architects, or engineers, or any present or future tenant, occupant or owner of the Property.

19

        Section 13. NOTICES. Any notice, request, demand, consent, approval, direction, agreement, or other communication (any “notice”) required or permitted under the Loan Documents shall be in writing and shall be validly given if sent by a nationally-recognized courier that obtains receipts, delivered personally by a courier that obtains receipts, or mailed by United States certified mail (with return receipt requested and postage prepaid) addressed to the applicable person as follows:

Refusal to accept delivery or the inability to deliver because of a changed address for which no notice was given shall be deemed receipt. Any party may periodically change its address for notice hereunder (and such change shall be applicable to all Loan Documents) and specify up to two (2) additional addresses for copies by giving the other party at least ten (10) days’ prior notice.
