Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.2.4 for any additional costs incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender knew of the changes giving rise to such increased costs and of such Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor under this Section. 2.2.5 LIBO RATE. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of any LIBO Adjusted Rate for any Interest Period, (a) any Lender reasonably determines that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of "LIBO Rate" are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for any LIBOR Loan as provided herein; or (b) any Lender reasonably determines that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of "LIBO Rate" upon the basis of which the rate of interest for the LIBOR Loan for such Interest Period is to be determined are not likely adequately to cover the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining a LIBOR Loan for such Interest Period; then such Lender shall give Borrower and Agent prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, such Lender shall be under no obligation to make its Ratable Share of any such LIBOR Loan but shall remain obligated to make its Ratable Share of a Base Rate Loan for a corresponding amount, or if any portion of the Loan is already outstanding as a LIBOR Loan, such portion shall, commencing immediately after the end of the then current Interest Period, bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin. Each such Lender shall promptly notify Borrower and Agent upon the cessation of any facts and circumstances which resulted in suspension under this Section 2.2.5, whereupon Borrower's right to cause the Project Loan or any portion thereof to be a LIBOR Loan shall be reinstated. 2.2.6 ILLEGALITY. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to honor its obligation to make or maintain its Ratable Share of the Project Loan, then such Lender shall promptly notify Borrower and Agent thereof and such Lender's obligation to make its Ratable Share of the Project Loan shall be suspended (provided that, if requested by Borrower, such Lender's Ratable Share of the Project Loan shall automatically be converted to a Base Rate Loan if doing so would enable such Lender to lawfully honor its obligation to make or maintain its Ratable Share of the Project Loan) until such time as such Lender may again make its Ratable -20- Share of the Project Loan and Borrower shall, if required by applicable law, upon the request of such Lender, prepay a portion of the Project Loan equal to the Ratable Share of such Lender together with accrued interest thereon, but without compensation to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.2.7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Lender shall, as promptly as practicable, designate a different Applicable Lending Office for the Loan if doing so would enable it to lawfully honor its obligation to make or maintain its Ratable Share of the Loan. 2.2.7 BREAKAGE COSTS. (a) Borrower agrees to compensate each Lender for any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of (a) a default by Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of a LIBOR Loan after such Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) a default by Borrower in making any prepayment of a LIBOR Loan after such Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment (mandatory or optional) of a LIBOR Loan for any reason (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the maturity of the Loan pursuant to Section 9.1, the payment of Contingent Amortization pursuant to Section 4.1.11 of the Building Loan Agreement or a prepayment of the Loan in connection with a release of a Residential Unit pursuant to Section 4.1.37 of the Building Loan Agreement), other than a prepayment of the Loan pursuant to Section 2.2.6, on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. (b) Each such Lender will furnish to Borrower a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request by Lender for compensation under this Section 2.2.7, which certificate shall provide reasonable detail as to the calculation of such loss, cost or expense. Such certificate shall constitute prima facie evidence of the amount of such loss, cost or expense, which shall be calculated by such Lender on a reasonable and customary basis, consistent with the basis on which such calculations are then being made by similarly situated banks or financial institutions generally. 2.2.8 WITHHOLDING TAXES. Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender such additional amounts as are necessary in order that the net payment of any amount due hereunder or under any of the other Project Loan Documents to such Lender, after deduction for or withholding of any present or future tax imposed by the United States (subject, in either case, to the provisions of this Section 2.2.8), excluding Excluded Taxes of such Lender, will be the amount that would be required to be paid hereunder or thereunder in the absence of such deduction or withholding. Each Lender shall provide Borrower with a form prescribed by the United States Internal Revenue Service (currently, Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN) certifying such Lender's exemption from United States withholding taxes with respect to all payments to be made to such Lender under this Agreement and any other Project Loan Document at the date of such certificate, and if any Lender fails to provide Borrower with the prescribed form referred to in the preceding sentence, indicating that such payments are not subject to United States withholding tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced to zero by an applicable tax treaty, Borrower may withhold taxes from payments to or for the account of such Lender at the applicable statutory rate and shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts described in the first sentence of this Section in respect of the Project Loan; provided, that this sentence shall be inapplicable to such Lender in the event that such Lender is not able to make the certification set forth in such prescribed form as a result of a change in United States federal income tax law, regulation or judicial or administrative interpretation occurring after the date hereof, or of an -21- amendment, modification or revocation of an applicable tax treaty or a change in official position regarding the application or interpretation thereof, in each case, occurring after the date hereof. In the event that Borrower is obligated to pay any additional amounts described in the first sentence of this section in respect of the Project Loan, Lender shall make commercially reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, doing so would eliminate or reduce Borrower's obligation to pay such additional amounts and would not be disadvantageous to such Lender. SECTION 2.3 USURY SAVINGS. 2.3.1 USURY SAVINGS. This Agreement and the other Project Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Project Loan at a rate which could subject Lenders to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If by the terms of this Agreement or the other Project Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Agent or Lenders for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Project Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Project Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Project Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Project Loan for so long as the Project Loan is outstanding. SECTION 2.4 LOAN PAYMENTS. 2.4.1 PAYMENT BEFORE MATURITY DATE. Borrower shall make a payment to Agent of interest only at the Interest Rate on each Payment Date during the term of the Project Loan; each payment to be calculated in the manner set forth in Section 2.2.1. In addition, if the term of the Loan is extended in accordance with the provisions hereof, then upon the occurrence of any Contingent Amortization Trigger Event, Borrower shall make payments of Contingent Amortization as required pursuant to Section 4.1.11 of the Building Loan Agreement. 2.4.2 PAYMENT ON MATURITY DATE. Borrower shall pay to Agent the outstanding principal balance of the Project Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Project Loan Note, the Project Loan Mortgage and the other Project Loan Documents on the Maturity Date. 2.4.3 LATE PAYMENT PREMIUM. If any principal, interest or any other sum due under the Project Loan Documents is not paid by Borrower within five (5) days of the date on which it is due (other than the principal payment due on the Maturity Date), Borrower shall pay to Agent upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray the expense incurred by Agent in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lenders for the -22- loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Project Loan Mortgage and the other Project Loan Documents. 2.4.4 INTEREST RATE AND PAYMENT AFTER DEFAULT. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the outstanding principal balance of the Project Loan shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date that such Event of Default occurred, except that for a payment default, the Default Rate shall accrue from the original due date of such payment. 2.4.5 METHOD AND PLACE OF PAYMENT. (a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Project Loan Note shall be made to Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Agent's office, and any funds received by Agent after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day. (a) Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any other Project Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be the next preceding Business Day. SECTION 2.5 PREPAYMENT. 2.5.1 VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENTS. (a) Borrower may prepay the Project Loan, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, provided that Borrower gives to Agent not less than five (5) Business Days prior notice, which notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify: (i) the date and amount of the prepayment; (ii) whether the prepayment is of LIBOR Loans, Base Rate Loan or a combination thereof, and, if a combination thereof, the amount allocable to each; and (iii) in the case of prepayment of LIBOR Loans the expiration date of the applicable LIBOR Loan. Prepayment of all or any portion of the Loan may be made in accordance with this paragraph provided that: (i) the principal amount prepaid is not less than $1,000,000.00 and is in increments of $100,000.00 except for prepayments being made in connection with the sale of a Residential Unit in accordance with Section 4.1.37(i) of the Building Loan Agreement; (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest to and including the date of such prepayment on the amount being prepaid is then paid; (iii) any amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.2.7 and 2.4.3 are then paid; (iv) any sums payable by Borrower to the Counterparty in connection with the early termination or partial termination of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement are then paid; and (v) all fees and expenses incurred by Agent in connection with the Loan and/or with the prepayment are then paid to the extent payable to Agent in accordance with the terms hereof. (b) In each instance of prepayment permitted under this Section 2.5.1, Borrower shall be required to pay all other sums due and payable hereunder (including under Section 2.2.7), and no principal amount repaid may be reborrowed. (c) Notwithstanding Section 2.5.1(a) but subject to Section 2.5.1(b), proceeds from the sale of Residential Units shall be applied in reduction of the principal amount of the Loan in accordance with Section 4.1.37(i) of the Building Loan Agreement. -23- (d) Except as otherwise expressly permitted herein, the principal balance of the Project Loan may not be prepaid in whole or in part. 2.5.2 MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS. (a) On each date on which Agent actually receives a distribution of Net Proceeds and if Agent is not required to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for the Restoration of the Property pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Building Loan Agreement, Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to either make the Net Proceeds available for Restoration pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Building Loan Agreement or use the Net Proceeds to prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Building Loan Note, the Project Loan Note and/or the Project Loan Note, as determined by Agent, in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds, with any excess payable to Borrower. (b) In addition, if the term of the Loan is extended, upon the occurrence of any Contingent Amortization Trigger Event, Borrower shall prepay without premium or penalty the amount of Contingent Amortization as required pursuant to Section 4.1.11 of the Building Loan Agreement. (c) In each instance of prepayment under this Section 2.5.2, Borrower shall be required to pay all other sums due hereunder (including under Section 2.2.7), and no principal amount repaid may be reborrowed. 2.5.3 MISCELLANEOUS. The making of an Advance by Agent and/or Lenders shall not constitute Agent's and/or Lenders' approval or acceptance of the construction theretofore completed. Agent's inspection and approval of the Plans and Specifications, the construction of the Improvements, or the workmanship and materials used therein, shall impose no liability of any kind on Agent or Lenders, the sole obligation of Agent and Lenders as the result of such inspection and approval being to make the Advances if and to the extent, required by this Agreement. SECTION 2.6 PAYMENTS NOT CONDITIONAL. 2.6.1 PAYMENTS NOT CONDITIONAL. All payments required to be made by Borrower hereunder or under the Project Loan Note or the other Project Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without deduction for, any setoff, claim or counterclaim and shall be made irrespective of any defense thereto. SECTION 2.7 CONDITIONS PRECEDENT. 2.7.1 CONDITIONS PRECEDENT.

Agent shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to waive any such condition or requirement. -28- SECTION 2.10 BORROWING PROCEDURES. 2.10.1 DRAW REQUESTS. Borrower shall submit to Agent and the Construction Consultant a Draw Request (substantially in the forms attached hereto as SCHEDULES II through IX) ("BORROWER'S REQUISITION") not less than eight (8) Business Days prior to the date upon which a disbursement of the Loan is requested (the "BORROWING Date") and no more frequently than once in each calendar month (except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.10.2). As part of each Draw Request, Borrower shall submit, as notice of its intention to borrow funds and as notice of its intention to obtain a disbursement of Cash Collateral under the Cash Collateral Agreement, a Borrower's Requisition Letter in the form set forth in SCHEDULE II to the Building Loan Agreement, which shall be executed by one of the Authorized Representatives. Each Borrower's Requisition Letter shall be accompanied by: (i) a Borrower's Requisition Spreadsheet in the form attached to the Building Loan Agreement as SCHEDULE IV; (ii) intentionally omitted; (iii) a Borrowing Certificate in the form attached to the Building Loan Agreement as SCHEDULE VIII; (iv) intentionally omitted; (v) intentionally omitted; (vi) such other information and documents as may be reasonably requested or required by Agent or the Construction Consultant with respect to such Draw Request; and (vii) invoices, statements or such other information and documentation as Agent shall reasonably request or require with respect to the Project Loan Costs covered by such Draw Request. 2.10.2 ONE ADVANCE PER MONTH. Agent and Lenders shall have no obligation to make Advances of the Loan more often than once in each calendar month. 2.10.3 INTENTIONALLY OMITTED. 2.10.4 PROCEDURE OF ADVANCES. (a) Each Draw Request shall be submitted to Agent and the Construction Consultant at least eight (8) Business Days prior to the Borrowing Date for the requested Advance, and no more frequently than monthly except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10.2. Not less than three (3) London Business Days prior to the Borrowing Date, Agent shall deliver written notice to each Lender at the address specified by each Lender from time to time which notice shall include the Borrowing Date and such Lender's Ratable Share of such Advance. Agent shall include with such notice a copy of the Draw Request, to the extent not previously delivered and to the extent in Agent's possession, and Agent shall promptly deliver to each Lender all items in respect of such Advance received by Agent after the date of such notice. Lenders shall make the requested Advance on the Borrowing Date so long as all conditions to such Advance are satisfied or waived. Unless otherwise notified by Agent, each Lender may assume that all conditions to such Advance are satisfied or waived on the Borrowing Date. (b) Not later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time, on the Borrowing Date, each Lender shall make available for the account of Agent at its address referred to in Section 10.6, in same day funds, such Lender's ratable portion of such Advance. After Agent's receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions in Article II, Agent will make such funds available to Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.10. (c) Unless Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the Borrowing Date that such Lender will not make available to Agent such Lender's ratable portion -29- of such Advance, Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to Agent on the Borrowing Date in accordance with Section 2.10.4(b), and Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower on the Borrowing Date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that any of Lenders (the "DEFAULTING LENDER") shall not have so made such ratable portion available to Agent (individually, a "DEFICIENCY," and collectively, "DEFICIENCIES"), and Agent has advanced such amount to Borrower, such Defaulting Lender agrees to repay to Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to Agent at the Default Rate. If such Defaulting Lender shall repay to Agent such corresponding amount, such amount (excluding interest) so repaid shall constitute such Defaulting Lender's ratable portion of the Advance. Each of the Lenders agrees that Borrower or any of the other Lenders shall have the right to proceed directly against any Defaulting Lender in respect of any right or claim arising out of the default of such Defaulting Lender hereunder. If there shall be a Deficiency in respect of any Lender, the other Lenders, or any of them, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to advance all or any part of the ratable portion of an Advance that should have been made by the Defaulting Lender, and the Defaulting Lender agrees to repay upon demand to each of the Lenders who has advanced a portion of the Deficiency the amount advanced on behalf of the Defaulting Lender, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate. If more than one Lender elects to advance a portion of the Deficiency such Lenders' advances shall be made based on the relative Ratable Shares of the Loan of each advancing Lender or as otherwise agreed to by such Lenders. In the event the Defaulting Lender fails to advance or repay the Deficiency (with interest at the Default Rate, if applicable) on or prior to the date of the next succeeding Advance, the entire interest of said Defaulting Lender in the Loan shall be subordinate to the interests of the other Lenders and all payments otherwise payable to the Defaulting Lender shall be used to advance or repay the Deficiency, as applicable, until such time such Defaulting Lender advances or repays all Deficiencies (including interest at the Default Rate, if applicable) and Borrower or Agent shall have the right to require such Defaulting Lender to assign its interest in the Loan to an Eligible Institution or other assignee satisfactory to Agent in its sole discretion (subject, nevertheless, to Section 10.24). (d) The failure of any Lender to pay any Deficiency shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its ratable portion of the Advance on the Borrowing Date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Lender to make its ratable portion of the Advance to be made by such other Lender on the Borrowing Date; provided, however, that Lenders shall be obligated to fund the balance or the then current Advance (i.e., excluding the Deficiency) in the manner required hereunder. In the event the following occurs, Lenders, in the sole discretion of Agent, shall have the right to make no further Advances under the Loan: any and all Deficiencies in respect of prior Advances made more than thirty (30) days prior to the current Advance have not been funded by (A) the Defaulting Lender(s) responsible therefor or (B) one or more of the other Lenders or (C) Borrower with its own equity. In such event, the Project Loan Amount shall be permanently reduced by any and all Deficiencies unless and until funded as provided in clauses (A) or (B) above or a substitute lender, reasonably acceptable to Lenders other than the Defaulting Lender(s), pays such Deficiency(ies). If pursuant to this Section, Lenders are not obligated to make an Advance, Agent may (subject to subsection (e) below) nonetheless make a determination that Lenders shall make such Advances and all Lenders shall be bound by such determination. -30- (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any decision by Agent to make Advances hereunder when Borrower is not entitled to receive such an Advance because an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and any decision by Agent to refuse to make any Advance hereunder because an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be a Major Decision requiring the consent of all Lenders. 2.10.5 FUNDS ADVANCED. Each Advance shall be made by Agent by wire transfer to Borrower's Designated Account or as provided in Section 2.10.6. All proceeds of all Advances shall be used by Borrower only for the purposes for which such Advances were made. Borrower shall not commingle such funds with other funds of Borrower. 2.10.6 DIRECT ADVANCES TO THIRD PARTIES. At Agent's option, Agent may direct Lenders to make any or all Advances directly or through the Title Company to the holder of the Spread Mortgage being assigned in connection with such Advance. 2.10.7 INTENTIONALLY OMITTED. 2.10.8 ADVANCES DO NOT CONSTITUTE A WAIVER. No Advance shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions of Lenders' obligation to make further Advances nor, in the event Borrower is unable to satisfy any such condition, shall any Advance have the effect of precluding Agent from thereafter declaring such inability to be an Event of Default hereunder. 2.10.9 INTENTIONALLY OMITTED. 2.10.10 INTENTIONALLY OMITTED. 2.10.11 ADVANCES AND DISBURSEMENTS UNDER COMPLETION GUARANTY. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally authorizes Agent and Lenders to make any disbursements of proceeds of the Loan or of any Funds held by Agent to Vornado in accordance with the Guaranty of Completion.

Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Project Loan Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Project Loan Mortgage and not previously recovered. (c) Agent shall have the right from time to time to sever the Project Loan Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the "SEVERED LOAN DOCUMENTS") in such denominations as Agent shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Agent from time to time, promptly after the request of Agent, a severance agreement and such other documents as Agent shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Agent as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Agent shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) Business Days after notice has been given to Borrower by Agent of Agent's intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents, and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Project Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date or the date of the last Advance made hereunder or under the Project Loan Agreement, whichever is later. (d) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Agent may declare Lenders' obligations to make Advances hereunder to be terminated, whereupon the same shall terminate, and/or declare all unpaid principal of and accrued interest on the Project Loan Note, together with all other sums payable under the Project Loan Documents, to be immediately due and payable, whereupon same shall become and be immediately due and payable, anything in the Project Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, and without presentation, protest or further demand or notice of any kind, all of which are expressly hereby waived by Borrower; provided, however, that Lenders may make Advances or parts of Advances thereafter without thereby waiving the right to demand payment of the Project Loan Note, without becoming liable to make any other or further Advances, and without affecting the validity of or enforceability of -46- the Project Loan Documents. Notwithstanding and without limiting the generality of the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lenders' obligations to make Advances hereunder shall automatically terminate. (e) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, subject to Agent's first providing Vornado with an opportunity to assume responsibility for the construction of the Improvements in accordance with the Guaranty of Completion, Agent may cause the Improvements to be completed and may enter upon the Property and construct, equip and complete the Improvements in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, with such changes therein as Agent may, from time to time, and in its sole discretion, deem appropriate. In connection with any construction of the improvements undertaken by Agent pursuant to the provisions of this subsection, Agent may: (i) use any funds of Borrower, including any balance which may be held by Agent as security or in escrow, and any funds remaining unadvanced under the Project Loan; (ii) employ existing contractors, subcontractors, including Major Trade Contractors, agents, architects, engineers, and the like, or terminate the same and employ others; (iii) employ security watchmen to protect the Property; (iv) make such additions, changes and corrections in the Plans and Specifications as shall, in the judgment of Agent, be necessary or desirable; (v) take over and use any and all Personal Property contracted for or purchased by Borrower, if appropriate, or dispose of the same as Agent sees fit; (vi) execute all applications and certificates on behalf of Borrower which may be required by any Governmental Authority or Law or Regulation or contract documents or agreements; (vii) pay, settle or compromise all existing or future bills and claims which are or may be liens against the Property, or may be necessary for the Completion of the Improvements or the clearance of title to the Property, including, without limitation, all taxes and assessments; (viii) complete the marketing and sale of Residential Units, and complete the marketing and leasing of leasable space in the Improvements, enter into new leases and occupancy agreements of the Residential Units or Commercial Units, and modify or amend existing leases and occupancy agreements, all as Agent shall deem to be necessary or desirable; (ix) prosecute and defend all actions and proceedings in connection with the construction of the Improvements or in any other way affecting the Property, the Improvements and take such action and require such performance as Agent deems necessary under the Payment and Performance Bonds; and -47- (x) take such other action hereunder, or refrain from acting hereunder, as Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, from time to time determine, and without any limitation whatsoever, to carry out the intent of this Section 9.21. Borrower shall be liable to Agent for all costs paid or incurred for the construction, completion and equipping of the Improvements, whether the same shall be paid or incurred pursuant to the provisions of this Section or otherwise, and all payments made or liabilities incurred by Agent hereunder of any kind whatsoever shall be deemed advances made to Borrower under this Agreement and shall be secured by the Project Loan Mortgage and the other Project Loan Documents. To the extent that any costs so paid or incurred by Agent, together with all other Advances made by Lenders hereunder, exceed the Project Loan Amount, such excess costs shall be paid by Borrower to Agent on demand, with interest thereon at the Default Rate until paid; and Borrower shall execute such notes or amendments to the Project Loan Note as may be requested by Agent to evidence Borrower's obligation to pay such excess costs and until such notes or amendments are so executed by Borrower, Borrower's obligation to pay such excess costs shall be deemed to be evidenced by this Agreement. In the event Agent takes possession of the Property and assumes control of such construction as aforesaid, Agent shall not be obligated to continue such construction longer than Agent shall see fit and may thereafter, at any time, change any course of action undertaken by it or abandon such construction and decline to make further payments for the account of Borrower whether or not the Property shall have been completed. For the purpose of this Section, the construction, equipping and completion of the Property shall be deemed to include any action necessary to cure any Event of Default by Borrower under any of the terms and provisions of any of the Project Loan Documents. (f) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Agent may appoint or seek appointment of a receiver, without notice and without regard to the solvency of Borrower or the adequacy of the security, for the purpose of preserving the Property, preventing waste, and to protect all rights accruing to Agent and/or Lenders by virtue of this Agreement and the other Project Loan Documents, and expressly to do any further acts as Agent may determine to be necessary to complete the development and construction of the Improvements. All expenses incurred in connection with the appointment of such receiver, or in protecting, preserving, or improving the Property, shall be charged against Borrower and shall be secured by the Project Loan Mortgage and enforced as a lien against the Property. (g) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Agent may accelerate maturity of the Project Loan Note and any other indebtedness of Borrower to Lenders, and demand payment of the principal sum due thereunder, with interest, advances, costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses (including those for appellate proceedings), and enforce collection of such payment by foreclosure of the Project Loan Mortgage or the enforcement of any other collateral, or other appropriate action. 9.2.2 POWER OF ATTORNEY. For the purposes of carrying out the provisions and exercising the rights, powers and privileges granted by or referred to in this Agreement, Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Agent its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments and do and -48- perform any acts which are referred to in this Agreement, in the name and on behalf of Borrower after the occurrence of an Event of Default. The power vested in such attorney-in-fact is, and shall be deemed to be, coupled with an interest and irrevocable. 9.2.3 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the rights, powers and privileges provided in this Article IX and all other remedies available to Agent and Lenders under this Agreement or under any of the other Project Loan Documents or at law or in equity may be exercised by Agent and Lenders at any time and from time to time and shall not constitute a waiver of Agent's or any of Lenders' other rights or remedies thereunder, whether or not the Project Loan shall be due and payable, and whether or not Agent shall have instituted any foreclosure proceedings or other action for the enforcement of its rights under the Project Loan Documents. 9.2.4 ANNULMENT OF DEFAULTS. An Event of Default shall not be deemed to be in existence for any purpose of this Agreement or any Loan Document if Agent shall have waived such Event of Default in writing or stated that the same has been cured to its reasonable satisfaction, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any of the rights of Lenders upon the occurrence thereof. 9.2.5 WAIVERS. Borrower hereby waives to the extent not prohibited by applicable law (a) all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonperformance (except to the extent required by the provisions hereof or of any other Project Loan Documents), protests and notices of dishonor, (b) any requirement of diligence or promptness on Agent's or Lenders' part in the enforcement of its rights (but not fulfillment of its obligations) under the provisions of this Agreement or any other Project Loan Document, and (c) any and all notices of every kind and description which may be required to be given by any statute or rule of law. 9.2.6 COURSE OF DEALING, ETC. No course of dealing and no delay or omission by Agent, Lenders or Borrower in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right or remedy and no single or partial exercise thereof shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion. No waiver or consent shall be binding upon Lenders unless it is in writing and signed by Agent. Agent's exercise of Agent's right to remedy any default by Borrower to Lenders or any other person, firm or corporation shall not constitute a waiver of the default remedied, a waiver of any other prior or subsequent default by Borrower or a waiver of the right to be reimbursed for any and all of its expenses in so remedying such default. The making of an Advance hereunder during the existence of an Event of Default shall not constitute a waiver thereof. All rights and remedies of Lenders hereunder are cumulative. No Advance of Project Loan proceeds hereunder, no increase or decrease in the amount of any Advance, and no making of all or any part of an Advance prior to the due date thereof shall constitute an approval or acceptance by Lenders of the work theretofore done or a waiver of any of the conditions of Lenders' obligation to make further Advances, nor in the event Borrower is unable to satisfy any such condition, shall any such failure to insist upon strict compliance have the effect of precluding Lenders from thereafter refusing to make an Advance and/or declaring such inability -49- to be an Event of Default as hereinabove provided. All Advances shall be deemed to have been made pursuant hereto and not in contravention of the terms of this Agreement. SECTION 9.3 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. The rights, powers and remedies of Agent under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Agent may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Agent's rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Agent may determine in Agent's sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. X. MISCELLANEOUS SECTION 10.1 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. All covenants, promises and agreements in this Agreement, by or on behalf of Borrower, shall inure to the benefit of the respective legal representatives, successors and assigns of Agent and Lenders. SECTION 10.2 AGENT'S AND LENDER'S DISCRETION. Whenever, pursuant to this Agreement, Agent and/or a Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Agent and/or any Lender, the decision of Agent and/or such Lender to approve or disapprove or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole discretion of Agent and/or such Lender, as applicable, and shall be final and conclusive.

Furthermore, if within seven (7) Business Days after receiving a request pursuant to subparagraph (b) above for its consent to any assignment or participation by any Lender, Borrower shall not have either consented or withheld its consent (specifying the reasons therefor), then such consent shall be deemed to have been given. (d) Borrower agrees to execute, within ten (10) days after request therefor is made by Agent, any documents and/or estoppel certificates reasonably requested by Agent in connection with such participation or assignment, without charge; provided that such documents and/or estoppel certificates do not expand the liability or obligations of Borrower or reduce assignee's or participant's obligations. (e) Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party thereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party thereto). (f) Agent shall maintain a register (the "AGENT'S REGISTER") showing the identity of the Lenders from time to time. The entries in the Agent's Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and Borrower, Agent and the Lenders may (and, in the case of any portion of the Loan or other obligation hereunder not evidenced by a Note, shall) treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of such portion of the Loan or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any assignment of any portion of the Loan or other obligation hereunder not evidenced by a Note shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. (g) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee (and, in the case of an Assignee that is not then a Lender or an affiliate thereof, by Borrower and Agent) together with payment to Agent of a registration and processing fee of $2,500, Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Agent's Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and Borrower.

(i) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section concerning assignments relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law. (j) Borrower agrees that after the effective date under such Assignment and Acceptance, upon the request to Agent by any Lender, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender one or more substitute notes of Borrower evidencing such Lender's Ratable Share of the Building Loan, Supplemental Loan and Project Loan, respectively, in substantially the same form as the Building Loan Note, Supplemental Loan Note and Project Loan Note, respectively, with appropriate insertions as to payee and principal amount. Each such substitute note shall be dated as of the Closing Date. (k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, HVB and Agent hereby agree for the benefit of Borrower that provided no Event of Default exists, HVB shall not assign, without the consent of Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), a portion of the Loan which shall result in the Ratable Share of HVB in its capacity as a Lender being less than, for so long as Lenders continue to have any further funding obligations hereunder, One Hundred One Million and No/100 ($101,000,000) Dollars of the Maximum Loan Commitment.

AGENT SECTION 11.1 PERFORMANCE BY AGENT. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent shall have the right, but not the duty, without limitation, upon any of Agent's rights pursuant hereto, to perform the obligations of Borrower which are the subject of the Event of Default, in which event Agent shall endeavor to give notice to Borrower of Agent's performance, and Borrower agrees to pay to Agent, within five (5) days of demand therefor, all actual and reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Agent in connection therewith, including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees, together with interest from the date of expenditure at the Default Rate, if an Event of Default shall have given rise to such expenditure. Upon demand by Agent each of the Lenders shall promptly advance to Agent in immediately available funds its ratable portion of the funds expended by Agent in curing such Event of Default together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of Agent's payment through the date prior to the date on which such advance is received by Agent. SECTION 11.2 ACTIONS. If Agent shall have reasonable cause to believe that any action or proceeding related to the Property could, if adversely determined, have a material adverse effect upon the rights or interests of Agent and/or Lenders under this Agreement or any of the other Project Loan Documents, Agent shall have the right to commence, appear in and defend such action or proceeding, and in connection therewith Agent may pay necessary expenses, employ counsel, and pay reasonable attorneys' fees. Borrower agrees to pay to Agent, within thirty (30) days (or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, within five (5) days) after demand therefor by Agent, all actual and reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Agent in connection therewith, including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees, together with interest from the date of expenditure at the Default Rate, if an Event of Default shall have given rise to such action or proceeding. Borrower's obligations to repay such expenses shall be secured by the Project Loan Documents. SECTION 11.3 NONLIABILITY OF AGENT AND LENDERS. The provisions of Section 11.3 of the Building Loan Agreement are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth herein. SECTION 11.4 AUTHORIZATION AND ACTION. (a) Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Any and all actions relating to construction of the Improvements, including without limitation, approval of changes to the Loan Budget, Plans and Specifications, contracts and subcontracts and Payment and Performance Bonds, shall be deemed to have been delegated to Agent exclusively and shall not constitute a Major Decision requiring the approval of any other Lender. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Note), Agent shall not be required to exercise any -59- discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Majority Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders; provided, however, that Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. Agent agrees to give to each Lender prompt notice of each material notice given to it by Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents. (b) By their execution of this Agreement, all of the Lenders hereby authorize and direct Agent to act on their behalf in all respects in connection with the Loan Documents and the making of the Loan (but subject to paragraph (e) below) and agree with Borrower that Borrower shall only be required to and shall only deal with Agent and each of the Lenders shall be bound by any acts of Agent. (c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Agent (i) shall take all such actions hereunder and under the other Loan Documents which are not inconsistent with the terms hereof or thereof as the Majority Lenders shall instruct and (ii) shall not take any material actions hereunder or under the Loan Documents contrary to the instructions of the Majority Lenders (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting upon such instructions) and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders; provided, however, that the Majority Lenders shall not have the right to require any Lender to fund its Ratable Share of any amount which is Advanced in excess of the total amount of the Loan. Any provision of this Agreement which grants to Agent the right to make a decision at its sole discretion or in its reasonable judgment or at its option or any other similar provision is intended, unless the context shall clearly require otherwise, to apply only to relations between Borrower and Agent and the respective rights and obligations of Borrower and Agent hereunder and shall not apply to the relations between Agent and the Lenders or the respective rights and obligations of Agent and the Lenders hereunder. (d) Promptly after Agent acquires actual knowledge thereof, Agent will give written notice to each Lender of any Lien on the Property or material Default under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents which in Agent's judgment adversely affects any of the Lenders' interests in the Loan. Agent agrees to consult with Lenders in respect of any material remedial action to be taken in respect of any such Default and shall act substantially in accordance with any decision of the Majority Lenders (and shall be fully protected in so acting). Agent agrees that during a period of forty-five (45) days from Agent's notice to Lenders of any such Default, Agent will not take any such material remedial action without the prior agreement of the Majority Lenders unless in Agent's good faith judgment it is necessary to take more prompt remedial action within such period, with or without the agreement of the Majority Lenders, in order to preserve any collateral for the payment of the Loan or substantive rights or remedies under any of the Loan Documents. Agent shall advise Lenders from time to time of such remedial action as Agent shall have taken. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Majority Lenders do not agree on the action to be taken, except as expressly set forth in this Section, Agent reserves the right, in its sole discretion, in each instance, without prior notice to Lenders, to consent to any action or failure to act by Borrower, and to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights Agent may have under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents relative thereto or any collateral therefor, which would be reasonable. All losses and expenses incurred by Agent in connection with the Loan, the enforcement thereof or -60- the realization of the security therefor shall be borne by the Lenders in accordance with their ratable interest in the Loan, and Lenders will, upon request, reimburse Agent for their Ratable Shares of any expenses incurred by Agent in connection with any such default, any advances made to pay Taxes or Insurance Premiums or Other Charges or otherwise to preserve the lien of the Supplemental Loan Mortgage, Building Loan Mortgage or Project Loan Mortgage or to preserve and protect the Property or made to effect the completion of the Improvements to be constructed pursuant to this Agreement (provided that Agent shall not advance sums in excess of the principal amount of the Supplemental Loan Mortgage, Building Loan Mortgage or Project Loan Mortgage for completion of the Improvements without the prior written consent of the Majority Lenders), any other expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of the Supplemental Loan Mortgage, Building Loan Mortgage or Project Loan Mortgage, and any expenses incurred by Agent in connection with the consummation of the Loan not paid or provided for by Borrower. (e) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may be modified or supplemented only by an instrument in writing signed by Borrower and Agent and any provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may be waived by Agent, provided that no modification, supplement or waiver shall, unless by an instrument signed by all of the Lenders or by Agent acting with the consent of all of the Lenders, (i) increase or extend the term of the Loan except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on the Loan or the amount of any fee payable hereunder (other than the Administrative Fee), (iv) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal or of any such fee, (iii) reduce the rate at which interest is payable on the Loan, (v) alter the terms of Section 10.25 or this Section 11.4, (vi) release, substitute or exchange any material portion of the collateral for the Loan except in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents related thereto, (vii) modify the definition of the term "Majority Lenders" or modify in any other manner the number or percentage of the Lenders required to make any determinations or receive any rights hereunder or to modify any provision hereof or of any other Loan Document, (viii) modify or waive the Debt Service Coverage Ratio or Loan-to-Value requirements set forth herein, including without limitation modify the definition of the term "Debt Service Coverage Ratio" or "Loan-to-Value," (ix) release any Guarantor or any other Person liable on the Loan from any of their material obligations with respect to the Loan or the completion of the Improvements, (x) subordinate the Liens created by the Loan Documents to any other liens securing indebtedness of Borrower or otherwise, (any such modification, supplement or waiver described in this clauses (i) through (xi) and any other action that expressly requires the consent of all Lenders hereunder is herein referred to as a "MAJOR DECISION"); and provided further, that any modification or supplement of Article XI hereof, or of any of the rights or duties of Agent hereunder, shall require the consent of Agent. The provisions of this subsection are solely for the benefit of the Lenders and Agent and shall not create any rights in Borrower. The provisions of this subsection are solely for the benefit of the Lenders and Agent and shall not create any rights in Borrower. (f) Provided Majority Lenders have designated a successor agent as provided below, Majority Lenders shall have the right to remove Agent for cause, by written notice to Borrower and Agent to be effective as to Borrower only if, as and when such notice is actually received by Borrower and Agent. If Agent shall resign as administrative agent hereunder or -61- under the other Loan Documents (which Agent may so resign upon thirty (30) days written notice to Borrower and each Lender), or if the Majority Lenders shall remove Agent, then the Majority Lenders shall designate another Lender to perform the obligations and exercise the rights of Agent hereunder. The successor Agent shall assume such obligations in writing and from and after Borrower's receipt of a copy of notice of such replacement and receipt of a copy of such assumption the successor Agent shall be the sole Agent hereunder and the term "AGENT" shall thereafter refer to such successor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, HVB agrees for the benefit of Borrower that it shall not resign as Agent prior to the Initial Maturity Date for so long as (i) Lenders continue to have any further funding obligations hereunder, (ii) no Event of Default exists, (iii) HVB is generally engaged in the business of being an administrative agent for construction loans in the United States and (iv) the other Lenders do not have the right to remove HVB as Agent for cause as provided herein. SECTION 11.5 AGENT'S RELIANCE, ETC. Agent shall administer this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and service the Loan in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and with the same degree of care as Agent would use in servicing a loan of similar size and type held for its own account; provided, however, that none of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement; (iii) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement on the part of Borrower or to inspect the Property (including the books and records) of Borrower; (iv) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; and (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telecopier, telegram, cable or telex) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties. SECTION 11.6 AGENT AS A LENDER. With respect to Agent's ownership interest in the Loan and the Loan Documents as a Lender, Agent in its capacity as a Lender shall have the rights and powers of a Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as set forth herein and therein and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent. SECTION 11.7 DISTRIBUTION OF PAYMENTS BY AGENT TO LENDERS. Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender its Ratable Share of any payment on account of principal or interest or any extension fee received by Agent by credit to an account -62- of such Lender at Agent or by wire transfer to an account of such Lender in accordance with written wiring instructions received by Agent from such Lender, or to such other Person or in such other manner as such Lender may designate, provided any other designated account is maintained at a commercial bank located in the United States of America. If any payments are received by Agent after 11:00 a.m. (New York time), then provided Agent shall not be able to distribute to each Lender its Ratable Share of any such payment on the same day as such payment is received by Agent, Agent shall hold such payment to the extent not so distributed for the benefit of the respective Lenders ratably, shall invest any such Lender's Ratable Share not so distributed in overnight federal funds for the benefit of such Lender and such Lender shall be entitled to receive its Ratable Share of such payment together with interest earned thereon on the following Business Day. The provisions of this Section 11.7 are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.10.4(c) as to any Defaulting Lender. SECTION 11.8 ASSIGNMENT UPON REPAYMENT Upon repayment or prepayment of the Loan in full by Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lenders shall, on a one-time basis, assign the Note and Agent shall assign the Mortgage, each without recourse, covenant or warranty of any nature, express or implied, (except if any Lender is not delivering the original Note, in which case such Lender shall execute and deliver a "lost note affidavit" in its customary form with respect to the copy of its Note) to such new mortgagee designated by Borrower (other than Borrower or a nominee of Borrower); provided that Borrower (i) has caused to be paid the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of Agent and Lenders incurred in connection therewith and Agent's and Lenders' reasonable attorneys' fees for the preparation, delivery and performance of such an assignment, (ii) has caused the delivery of an executed Statement of Oath under Section 275 of the New York Real Property Law; and (iii) has provided such other information and documents which a prudent mortgagee would reasonably require to effectuate such assignment. Borrower shall be responsible for all mortgage recording taxes, recording fees and other charges payable in connection with any such assignment.
