LOAN AGREEMENT

Borrower and Lender, for the mutual promises in the Loan Documents and other good and valuable consideration, enter into this Agreement on the Effective Date.

Background Recitals

A. Borrower has requested that Lender make the Loan to Borrower.

B. Lender has agreed, subject to the terms of the Loan Documents, to make the Loan to Borrower.

C. Borrower and Lender desire to enter into this Agreement to specify the terms and conditions of the Loan.

Borrower and Lender (1) acknowledge the receipt and sufficiency of the above-referenced consideration, and, (2) therefore, agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.
DEFINITIONS

1.1. Defined Terms. Each capitalized term used in the Loan Documents has the meaning set forth in Exhibit A of this Agreement.

1.2. Terms Generally; References and Titles; Accounting Terms. References in this Agreement to "Articles," "Sections," "Exhibits" or "Schedules" will be to the Articles, Sections, Exhibits or Schedules of this Agreement unless otherwise specifically provided. All Exhibits and Schedules attached to this Agreement are incorporated in, and are a part of, this Agreement for the purposes set forth in this Agreement. Any term defined in this Agreement may be used in the singular or plural. Words of any gender include all other genders. The terms "include," "includes," and "including" are followed by "without limitation". Except as otherwise specified or limited in this Agreement, a reference to any Person includes the successors and assigns of the Person. Unless otherwise specified all references "from" or "through" any date mean "from and including" or "through and including" the date. References to any statute or act include all related current regulations and all amendments and any successor statutes, acts and regulations. References to any statute or act, without additional reference, refer to federal statutes and acts of the United States. References to any agreement, instrument or document includes all schedules, exhibits, annexes and other attachments to the agreement, instrument or document. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all accounting terms not specifically or completely defined herein shall be construed in conformity with GAAP, applied in a manner consistent with that used in preparing the financial statements delivered pursuant to this Agreement.

ARTICLE II.
THE LOAN

2.1. The Loan. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and in reliance on Borrower’s representations and warranties in the Loan Documents, Lender agrees to lend, and Borrower agrees to borrow, the Loan. THEREFORE, FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Borrower promises to pay to the order of Lender the Principal Amount with fees, costs and interest as set forth in, and payable (in Dollars at Lender's Offices) pursuant to, this Agreement. The Loan shall be divided into two tranches, Tranche A and Tranche B. The funding and closing of the Loan will take place in Lender's Offices or at such other place as Lender may designate.

(a) Interest(i) .

(i) Subject to Subsection 2.1(b) below: (A) the Principal Amount of Tranche A bears interest at the Contract Rate, and (B) subject to Subsection 2.1(a)(ii) below, the Principal Amount of Tranche B and Additional Costs bear interest at the LIBO Rate.

(ii) All interest accruing under the Loan Documents will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year applied to the actual number of days in each month. Borrower shall make each payment which it owes under the Loan Documents on or before the Payment Deadline in immediately available Dollars without setoff, counterclaim or other deduction. If Lender

receives any payment after the Payment Deadline, then the payment will be credited on the next following Business Day.

(iii) Immediately after Lender gives a Suspension Notice to Borrower, Lender's obligation to make or maintain Tranche B of the Loan and Additional Costs at the LIBO Rate will be suspended and all interest and Additional Costs payable at the LIBO Rate will automatically convert to the Prime Rate. If circumstances further change and nullify the basis on which the Suspension Notice was given, then Lender will advise Borrower of the change and thereafter Tranche B and the Additional Costs will automatically bear interest at the LIBO Rate.

(b) Default Rate; Late Charge.

(i) Any time during an Event of Default Period (and including any period prior to and after any judgment against any Borrower Party concerning the Loan, the Principal Amount or Additional Costs), the Principal Amount, any Additional Costs and all past due installments of interest will, at Lender's option, bear interest at the Default Rate.

(ii) In addition to all other sums due under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall pay to Lender on demand the Late Charge upon all Past Due Indebtedness. The Late Charge is not a penalty, but is intended to compensate Lender for the losses Lender incurs because of the delinquent payment. Borrower agrees that, considering all of the circumstances existing on the date this Agreement is executed, the Late Charge represents a reasonable estimate of the losses Lender will incur because of any late payment, and that proof of Lender's actual losses will be costly, inconvenient, impracticable and extremely difficult to fix. Lender does not waive the Event of Default resulting from a past due payment because Lender accepts a Late Charge.

(i) Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Principal Payment Date: (A) with respect to Tranche A, interest on the Principal Amount, in arrears, on each Interest Payment Date, and the Principal Installment Amount, and (B) with respect to Tranche B, the Amortized Installment Amount. On the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay in full to Lender (1) the Principal Amount along with all unpaid, accrued interest, and (2) all other Indebtedness.

(ii) Except during an Event of Default Period, Lender will apply all Loan payments: (A) first, to any unpaid Claims; (B) second, to any unpaid Additional Costs; (C) third, to accrued but unpaid interest due under the Loan Documents; (D) fourth, to all other unpaid sums due under the Loan Documents, except for the Principal Amount; and (E) last, to the unpaid Principal Amount (first to Tranche B, and then to Tranche A). During an Event of Default Period, Lender may apply all Loan payments in any order Lender elects in its sole discretion.

(iii) Borrower may not send any payments to Lender with a Paid in Full Mark. If Borrower tenders a payment to Lender with a Paid in Full Mark, then Lender may accept the payment without losing any of Lender's rights under the Loan Documents, and Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amounts owed to Lender under the Loan Documents.

(d) Prepayment. Borrower may prepay Tranche B of the Loan, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. Borrower may not prepay Tranche A of the Loan in whole or in part, except during the Prepayment Period, except as set forth below. Lender may refuse to accept any Loan prepayment which does not comply with this Section 2.1(d). During the Prepayment Period, Borrower may prepay Tranche A of the Loan, in whole or in part, without premium. However, if Borrower prepays Tranche A of the Loan at any time other than during the Prepayment Period, then concurrent with the prepayment, Borrower shall remit to Lender the Prepayment Premium; provided, however, the Prepayment Premium shall not be required to the extent the source of such prepayment is from Borrower's operational cash flow (and only to such extent), and not a refinancing, sale of the Property or any other source. Upon request, Borrower shall provide Lender with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that any such exception to the Prepayment Premium is from Borrower's operational cash flow.

(i) Lender and Borrower agree that:

(A) the Prepayment Premium is not a penalty;

(B) the Prepayment Premium will compensate Lender for Lender's losses resulting from Borrower's prepayment of Tranche A of the Loan;

(D) the calculation method used to determine the Prepayment Premium is a reasonable determination of Lender's loss resulting from Borrower's prepayment of Tranche A of the Loan;

(E) Lender has no obligation to mitigate its loss arising from any prepayment of Tranche A of the Loan; and

(F) the compensation Lender will receive from Tranche A of the Loan, if Tranche A of the Loan is not prepaid, is greater than or equal to the Prepayment Premium.

(ii) Borrower waives any right to claim that the Prepayment Premium is unenforceable or a penalty.

(iii) Borrower acknowledges that Lender:

(A) made the Loan to Borrower expecting that Borrower will not repay Tranche A of the Loan early but will repay Tranche A of the Loan as set forth in Section 2.1(c) above; and

(B) was not willing to make Tranche A of the Loan for a shorter period.

(iv) If during an Event of Default Period, Lender accelerates the maturity and repayment of the Loan, then the Prepayment Premium for Tranche A will also be due and added to the Indebtedness.

Borrower has read and understands the terms of this Prepayment Section.

(e) Additional Expenditures. All sums Lender pays or expends pursuant to the Loan Documents in excess of the Maximum Principal Amount will be (i) an additional loan to Borrower, (ii) Indebtedness, and (iii) immediately due and payable, upon Lender's written demand to Borrower, together with interest at the Default Rate from the date of Lender's expenditure until Borrower repays the expenditure and interest to Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, Lender is not obligated to make any expenditures.

(f) Additional Costs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents, Borrower shall pay to Lender all Additional Costs immediately after Lender's demand.

(g) Lenders Determinations. All of Lender's reasonable determinations under Section 2.1(a) are conclusive, absent manifest error.

2.2. Security for the Loan. The Loan is secured by, among other things, the Security Instrument and is guaranteed by the Guaranty.

ARTICLE III.
REPRESENTATIONS

3.1. Representations. On the Effective Date and on each Compliance Certificate Delivery Date, Borrower represents to Lender that:

Each Borrower Party: (i) is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing, under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is formed; (ii) is duly qualified, authorized to do business, and in good standing, in every jurisdiction (other than the jurisdiction of its formation) in which it must be qualified; and (iii) has the power and authority to own the Property and its other assets, and to transact its present and proposed business.

(b) Power; Transactional Authority; Enforceability. Each Borrower Party has the requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, and has taken all necessary actions to authorize its execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents. Each Borrower Party has duly executed and delivered the Loan Documents. The Loan Documents each Borrower Party executes or under which it is obligated constitute the Borrower Party's legal, valid and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, subject to (i) the effect of any Applicable Bankruptcy Law, or (ii) general principles of equity.

(c) No Violation; No Consent. Each Borrower Party's execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents, and compliance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, will not (i) contravene any Applicable Law, (ii) conflict or be inconsistent with or result in any breach of any term, covenant, condition or provision of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any lien upon any of the Property or the Borrower Party's other assets pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, agreement or other instrument to which the Borrower Party is a party or by which the Borrower Party or any of the Property or the Borrower Party's other assets is bound or may be subject, or (iii) violate any term of any Borrower Party's certificate of incorporation or other documents and agreements governing the Borrower Party's existence, management or operation. No Borrower Party is required to obtain the consent of any other party, including any Governmental Authority, in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents.

(d) Financial Matters. Each Borrower Party financial statement previously delivered to Lender was prepared in accordance with GAAP and completely, correctly and fairly present the financial condition and the results of operations of each Borrower Party on the date and for the period covered by the financial statements. All other reports, statements and other data that any Borrower Party furnished to Lender in connection with the Loan are true and correct in all material respects and do not omit any fact or circumstance necessary to ensure that the statements are not misleading. Each Borrower Party (i) is solvent, (ii) is not bankrupt, and (iii) has no outstanding liens, suits, garnishments, bankruptcies or court actions which may render the Borrower Party insolvent or bankrupt. Since the date of the last financial statements each Borrower Party delivered to Lender, no event, act, condition or liability has occurred or exists, which has had, or may reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse effect upon (A) such Borrower Party's business, condition (financial or otherwise) or operations, or (B) such Borrower Party's ability to perform or satisfy, or Lender's ability to enforce, any of the Indebtedness.

(e) No Default. No Event of Default exists.

(f) Trade Name. Borrower does not do business under any trade name or other name with respect to the Property or otherwise.

(g) Litigation. There are no suits or proceedings (including condemnation) pending or (to Borrower's knowledge, after reasonable inquiry) threatened against or affecting any Borrower Party or the Property or involving the validity, enforceability or priority of any of the Loan Documents. Borrower has not received notice from any Governmental Authority alleging that any Borrower Party or the Property is violating any Applicable Law.

(h) Title and Authority; Permitted Encumbrances. Borrower is the lawful owner of good and marketable title to the Property free and clear from all liens, security interests and encumbrances, except the lien and security interest evidenced by the Security Instrument and the Permitted Encumbrances. Borrower has good right and authority to transfer and encumber the Property and to grant a security interest in the Collateral. There are no mechanics' or materialmen's liens, or other claims that may constitute a lien on the Property other than claims for Real Estate Taxes which are not yet due or payable. There are no defaults under any of the Permitted Encumbrances. No Permitted Encumbrance has been modified unless approved by Lender in writing.

(i) Taxes. Each Borrower Party has filed all required Tax returns. Each Borrower Party has paid all Taxes for which it is obligated, other than those Taxes which (A) are not yet delinquent or (B) the appropriate Borrower Party is diligently, and in good faith, contesting and for which the Borrower Party has made adequate reserves acceptable to Lender.

(j) Foreign Person. Borrower is not a "foreign person" within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, Sections 1445 and 7701 (i.e., Borrower is not a non-resident alien, foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust or foreign estate as those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder). Borrower's Taxpayer Identification Number is true and correct.

(k) ERISA. (i) Borrower is not an "employee benefit plan" or a "governmental plan" within the meaning of ERISA; (ii) Borrower is not subject to state statutes regulating investments and fiduciary obligations with respect to governmental plans; (iii) Borrower's assets do not constitute "plan assets" under ERISA; and (iv) one or more of the following circumstances is true: (1) Equity interests in Borrower are publicly offered securities under ERISA or are securities issued by an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940; (2) Less than 25% of the value of any class of equity interests in Borrower is held by "benefit plan investors" within the meaning of ERISA; or (3) Borrower qualifies as an "operating company," a "venture capital operating company," or a "real estate operating company" within the meaning of ERISA. Borrower will deliver to Lender such certifications and other evidence periodically requested by Lender, in its sole discretion, to verify the representations in this Subsection.

(l) Executive Order 13224; OFAC. No Borrower Party or any Person with which a Borrower Party is associated or affiliated is (i) referred to or described in Executive Order 13224 (Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit or Support Terrorism, as amended) or (ii) subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department. Borrower will not use any Loan proceeds in violation of any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department.

(m) Purpose. The Loan is solely for the purpose of carrying on or acquiring Borrower's business, and is not for personal, family, household or agricultural purposes. Borrower does not use any portion of the Property as Borrower's residence or business homestead and, therefore, no portion of the Property is exempt from forced sale under Applicable Bankruptcy Law or any other Applicable Law. Borrower will not use any Loan proceeds to purchase or carry "margin stock" within the meaning of Federal Reserve Regulation U (12 C.F.R. §§ 221 et seq., as amended).

(n) Investment Company Act. No Borrower Party is (i) an "investment company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment company," within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (ii) a "holding company" or a "subsidiary company" of a "holding company" or an "affiliate" of a "holding company" or (iii) subject to any other federal or state law or regulation which purports to restrict or regulate its ability to borrow money.

(o) No Financing Statement. There are no effective financing statements covering any of the Collateral, except for those financing statements filed in connection with the Loan.

(p) Location of Collateral. All tangible Collateral is located on the Land.

(q) Compliance with Applicable Law. Borrower and the Property comply with all Applicable Laws. Borrower has not received notice that it or the Property is violating Applicable Law. Borrower has obtained all requisite approvals, permits and other authorizations from all Governmental Authorities with jurisdiction over the Property, Borrower and Borrower's businesses.

(r) Brokerage Commissions. Any brokerage commission due in connection with any Lease has been paid in full.

(s) Leases.

(i) Borrower is the sole owner of the entire lessor's interest in the Leases and has good title to, and the full right to assign, the Leases and Rent and no other Person has any right, title or interest in the Leases or the Rent. Borrower has not assigned the Leases or the Rent to any Person, other than Lender.

(ii) Borrower has delivered to Lender a true and complete copy of each Lease and a rent roll.

(iii) Each of the Leases is (A) in writing, (B) valid and subsisting, (C) in full force and effect, and (D) except as disclosed to Lender in writing, unmodified.

(v) No Tenant has: (A) an option to purchase any of the Property; (B) a right to terminate its Lease without Lender's prior consent; or (C) any defense, counterclaim or set-off to payment of the Rent.

(vi) There are no existing defaults under the Leases; and no event has occurred, which with the passage of time or the giving of notice (or both) would constitute a default under the Leases. Borrower has taken all steps necessary to continue each Lease in force and effect until at least 12 months after the Maturity Date. Borrower has not, without Lender's prior written consent, (A) waived any default under, (B) released any obligated Person under, or (C) agreed to terminate, any Lease.

(t) Collateral. Borrower is the sole owner of, has good title to, and the right to assign, the Collateral. No Person (other than Borrower or Lender) has any right, title or interest in the Collateral. The Leases, Licenses and Contracts are (or will be when issued or entered into) in full force and effect and there are no defaults (or any events which with the passage of time or the giving of notice, would be a default) under the Leases, Licenses or Contracts. Borrower has not assigned, transferred, encumbered, created or permitted any lien upon or charge against the Collateral (except in favor of Lender). Borrower has not done anything which might prevent Lender from enjoying and exercising any of its rights and privileges under the Loan Documents. Borrower has delivered to Lender a complete list, and certified copies, of all Contracts and Licenses. Borrower has furnished to Lender the Plans and Specifications. The Plans and Specifications comply with all Applicable Laws. There are no pending, or (to Borrower's knowledge) threatened or contemplated, special or other assessments against the Property.

(u) Condition of Property. The Property has all necessary utility services and legally sufficient parking required for Borrower's use of the Property. The Property has legal access to all streets, alleys and easements necessary to serve the Property, and all of the streets, alleys and easements use have been completed, dedicated and accepted by the appropriate Governmental Authority. The Property is in good condition and repair with no deferred maintenance. Borrower is not aware of any latent or patent defects in the Property.

(v) Operating Account. Borrower maintains all operating accounts for the Property (including security deposit accounts) with Lender.

(w) Environmental.

Borrower (A) is in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws, (B) has obtained all Environmental Approvals required to operate its business as presently conducted or as reasonably anticipated to be conducted, (C) has not received any written communication, whether from a Governmental Authority, citizens group, employee or otherwise, that alleges that Borrower or Guarantor has failed to comply with any Environmental Law, and (D) no circumstance exists that may prevent or interfere with Borrower's full compliance in the future with all applicable Environmental Laws.

(ii) No Claim. There is no Environmental Claim pending or threatened against Borrower or the Property.

(iii) No Violation. There are no past or present actions, activities, circumstances, conditions, events or incidents, including the release, emission, discharge or disposal of any Material of Environmental Concern that could form the basis of any Environmental Claims against Borrower or the Property.

(iv) No Materials of Environmental Concern. There are no on-site or off-site locations in which Borrower has stored, disposed or arranged for the disposal of Materials of Environmental Concern. There are no underground storage tanks located on Property. There is no asbestos in the Improvements. No polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are used or stored at the Property.

(x) No Reliance. Borrower has made the decision to enter into the Purchase Agreement and the Hilti Lease based on its own investment decisions and due diligence investigation, and that in connection therewith has not in any manner relied on Lender and agrees that each of such actions is its free and voluntary act.

ARTICLE IV.
COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS OF BORROWER

4.1. Covenants and Agreements. Borrower covenants to Lender as follows:

(a) Change of Name, Identity or Structure. Borrower shall not (i) change its name, identity (including trade name) or its entity structure or governance without notifying Lender of any change in writing at least 30 days prior to the effective date of the change or (ii) sell all or substantially all of its assets or merge or consolidate with any corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other legal entity.

(b) Indemnity. Borrower's obligations under this Section 4.1(b) survive (1) payment in full of all Indebtedness, (2) maturity of the Loan and (3) termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(i) Borrower shall protect, defend, indemnify, reimburse and hold each Indemnified Party harmless for, from and against all Claims of every kind, known or unknown, foreseeable or unforeseeable, which may be imposed upon, asserted against or incurred or paid by an Indemnified Party at any time, arising out of or in any way connected with (A) the Loan, (B) the Property, (C) any Loan Document, (D) bodily injury, death, or property damage occurring in, upon or adjacent to the Property, through any cause whatsoever, (E) Indemnified Party's exercise of remedies under the Loan Documents, (F) any act performed or omitted to be performed by any Indemnified Party under any Loan Document, (G) any Borrower failure to perform its obligations under any Contract or License, (H) any Event of Default, (I) any Environmental Claim, or (J) any Borrower Party violation of Applicable Law, INCLUDING ANY claims ACTUALLY OR ALLEGEDLY ARISING FROM THE ORDINARY, CONTRIBUTORY, COMPARATIVE OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE, OR STRICT LIABILITY, OF ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY, except to the extent a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final, non-appealable judgment that the Claims actually arose from the Indemnified Party's gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

(ii) If an Indemnified Party notifies Borrower of any Claims for which Borrower's

indemnity in Subsection (i) above applies, Borrower shall, on behalf of the Indemnified Party, assume and conduct, with due diligence and in good faith, the investigation and defense of the Claims with counsel selected by the Indemnified Party. If both Borrower and an Indemnified Party are defendants to the Claims and the Indemnified Party has been advised in writing by counsel that there may be legal defenses available to it which are inconsistent with those available to Borrower, then the Indemnified Party may select separate counsel to participate in the investigation and defense of the Claims on its own behalf, and Borrower will pay or reimburse the Indemnified Party for all Attorneys' Fees incurred with respect to separate counsel.

(iii) If an Indemnified Party notifies Borrower of any Claims for which Borrower's indemnity in Subsection (i) above applies and Borrower fails, within 15 days after being notified of the Claims, to take the actions required under Subsection (ii) above, then (A) notwithstanding to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents, an Event of Default will immediately occur, and (B) the Indemnified Party may contest (or settle) the Claims at Borrower's expense using counsel selected by the Indemnified Party.

(c) Fees and Expenses. Borrower shall pay, immediately upon Lender's demand, all fees (including appraisal fees, filing and recording fees, inspection fees, survey fees, taxes, brokerage fees and commissions, abstract fees, title policy fees, lien or security interest search fees, escrow fees, and Attorneys' Fees) and all other costs Lender or Borrower incurs in connection with (A) the Loan and the Loan Documents, (B) any Event of Default, (C) Lender's (1) exercise of remedies under the Loan Document or (2) protection of the Property, or (D) any modification to the Loan Document.

(j) Location and Use of Collateral. All tangible Collateral will be used in the business of Borrower and shall remain in Borrower's control at all times at Borrower's risk of loss.

(k) Insurance Requirements.

(i) Casualty; Business Interruption. Borrower must, at all times, keep the Collateral insured, to the extent available, against damage or loss from all hazards for the full insurable replacement cost of the Collateral (without reduction for depreciation or co-insurance

and without any exclusions or reduction of policy limits for acts of domestic and foreign terrorism and other specified action or inaction). Borrower must, at all times, also keep boiler and machinery insurance, domestic and foreign terrorism coverage and such other insurance for the Collateral as Lender reasonably requires. Borrower must keep the Collateral insured against loss by flood if the Property is, now or in the future, located in an area in which flood insurance is available under Applicable Law. Borrower shall maintain business interruption insurance, including use and occupancy, rental income loss and extra expense, for all periods covered by Borrower's property insurance for a limit equal to twelve (12) calendar months' exposure, all without any exclusions or reduction of policy limits for acts of domestic and foreign terrorism or other specified action or inaction.

(ii) Liability and Other Insurance. Borrower shall maintain: (A) commercial general liability insurance with respect to the Property providing for limits of liability in the amount approved by Lender for both injury to or death of a person and for property damage per occurrence; (B) umbrella liability coverage in the amount and to the extent required by Lender; and (C) other liability insurance Lender reasonably requires from time to time. In addition, Borrower shall maintain (1) worker's compensation insurance and employer's liability insurance covering employees at the Property employed by Borrower (in the amounts required by Applicable Laws), and (2) business interruption insurance.

(iii) Form of Policies. All insurance policies must be fully paid and non-assessable when issued. All insurance policies must contain the provisions, endorsements, and expiration dates that Lender reasonably requires. All insurance policies must (A) be issued by insurance companies (1) authorized to do business in the State, and (2) approved by Lender, (B) if available, include a standard mortgagee clause, without contribution, in the name of Lender, (C) name Lender as an additional insured or loss payee, (D) not be cancellable, amendable or alterable without 30 days' prior written notice to Lender, and (E) include a waiver of subrogation for all liability and workers compensation coverage issued in favor of Lender.

(iv) General. Borrower shall not carry separate or additional insurance concurrent in form or contributing to any loss for which coverage is required under this Subsection (k) unless approved by Lender in all respects. If Lender (or a third-party purchaser at or after a foreclosure) acquires title to the Collateral, then all of Borrower's interest in all insurance policies then in force concerning the Collateral will immediately vest in Lender (or the purchaser of the Collateral). Lender's approval of any insurance policy or insurer is not a representation or warranty of (A) the insurer's solvency or (B) the sufficiency of any insurance policy. Borrower shall comply with all insurance policy requirements and restrictions. Borrower will also provide all additional insurance which Lender reasonably requires and approves. If Lender requires, Borrower shall assign to Lender (on forms acceptable to Lender in its discretion) all insurance policies required under the Loan Documents. Any insurance proceeds Lender receives, because of (X) an assignment required under the Loan Documents or (Y) Lender being named loss payee, are Collateral and are not trust funds. If Borrower fails to obtain any insurance policy the Loan Documents require or Lender requires from time to time, then Lender may (without prior notice to Borrower) obtain the required insurance. The cost of any insurance Lender obtains for the account of Borrower will be Additional Costs.

(l) Escrow. As additional security for the Indebtedness and Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall, upon Lender's written request, and until the Maturity Date, establish and maintain the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account. Upon such request, Borrower will deposit into the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account a sum equal to all Real Estate Taxes and Insurance Premiums for the then current year, as Lender estimates. Thereafter, on each Interest Payment Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender, which Lender will deposit into the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account, sufficient funds (as Lender estimates) to permit Lender to pay, at least 30 days prior to the due date, the next installments for Real Estate Taxes and Insurance Premiums. Borrower shall ensure that Lender receives, at least 30 days prior to the due date, all invoices for Real Estate Taxes and Insurance Premiums. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and Lender has received all invoices for Real Estate Taxes and Insurance Premiums, Lender shall pay all invoices for Real Estate Taxes and Insurance

Premiums. Any excess amounts in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account may, at Lender's option and subject to Applicable Law, be retained in the account for future use, applied to the Indebtedness or refunded to Borrower. Borrower shall immediately remit to Lender funds (as Lender determines and demands) sufficient to satisfy any deficiency in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account. The Tax and Insurance Escrow Account is not, unless otherwise explicitly required by Applicable Law, an escrow or trust fund. The Tax and Insurance Escrow Account will not bear interest. The Tax and Insurance Escrow Account may be commingled with the general funds of Lender. During an Event of Default Period, Lender may apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account funds to the Indebtedness as Lender determines.

(m) Operation of Property. Borrower shall operate the Property in accordance with all Applicable Laws and in the same manner as is customary and usual in the operation of comparable properties in the same metropolitan area as the Property. Borrower shall not use or allow the use of the Property in any manner which constitutes a public or private nuisance. Without obtaining Lender's prior written consent, Borrower shall: (i) use all commercially reasonable efforts to oppose any zoning reclassification of the Property, (ii) not seek, or acquiesce to, any zoning reclassification or variance for the Property; (iii) not impose any restrictive covenants or encumbrances upon the Property; (iv) not execute or file any subdivision plat affecting the Property; (v) not consent to any municipality's annexation of the Property; (vi) not permit the Property to be operated as a cooperative or condominium; (vii) not permit any drilling or exploration for, or extraction, removal or production of, minerals from the surface or subsurface of the Property; (viii) not permit any action or inaction which may reasonably be expected to diminish the value of the Property; (ix) not engage another Person to operate or manage the Property; or (x) not permit the Property to be included in any special taxing district.

(n) Repair and Maintenance. Borrower shall keep the Property in good order, repair, condition and appearance. Borrower shall promptly make all necessary repairs and replacements, to the Property. Borrower shall insure that the Property is not deteriorated, misused, abused or wasted. All replacements to the Property must be equal or better than the replaced Property was when it was new. Borrower may not, without Lender's prior written consent: (i) erect any new buildings, structures or other improvements on the Property; (ii) except for the foregoing repairs, remove any Property from the Land; or (iii) make any structural alteration or any other alteration to the Property involving an estimated expenditure of $50,000 or more. Lender (or its designee) may, at Borrower's expense, inspect or examine the Property during normal business hours and without unnecessarily interrupting the Tenants or the operations of the Property. Except during any Event of Default Period, Lender (or its designee) shall give Borrower at least 24 hours advance notice (by any means and not subject to the terms of Section 6.18 below). Borrower shall assist Lender (and its designees) in completing any inspection. Borrower (or its designee) may accompany Lender (and its designee) during any inspection of the Property. If Lender's inspection reveals that repairs to the Property are necessary, then Borrower shall complete all repairs or other work to Lender's reasonable satisfaction within 60 days after Lender delivers written notice of the necessary repairs to Borrower.

(o) Appraisal. At Borrower's expense, Lender may obtain from time to time an Appraisal. The cost for any Appraisal are Additional Costs. Borrower shall cooperate (including providing access to the Collateral) with anyone preparing an Appraisal.

(p) Casualty and Condemnation.

(i) Borrower's Obligation. If any Damage or a Taking occurs, then Borrower shall promptly (A) notify Lender of the Damage and take all necessary steps to preserve the Collateral, (B) at Borrower's expense (1) diligently prosecute any Taking proceedings, (2) consult and cooperate with Lender in handling the Taking proceedings, and (C) subject to Sections 4.1(p)(ii) – (iv) below and regardless of whether the Net Proceeds are, or Award is, sufficient, commence and diligently (but, unless Lender approves otherwise in writing, no later than 90 days after the Damage occurs) complete the Restoration. Borrower shall comply with Lender's reasonable requirements to preserve the Collateral. Borrower may not settle any Taking proceedings without Lender's prior written consent. Lender may (but is not obligated

to) participate in all Taking proceedings. Borrower shall sign and deliver all instruments Lender requests in connection with Lender's participation in any Taking proceeding. All of Lender's reasonable costs in any Taking proceeding are Additional Costs.

(ii) Lender's Rights. Borrower will remain liable for the Indebtedness outstanding after Lender applies any Net Proceeds or Award. Lender will not pay interest on any Net Proceeds or Award Lender holds. If Borrower receives any insurance proceeds for the Damage or an Award, then Borrower shall promptly deliver all of the proceeds or Award to Lender, without deduction. Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents, at law or in equity to the contrary, the Net Proceeds and Award will not be trust funds and Lender may dispose of the Net Proceeds or Award as permitted in the Loan Documents. Borrower assumes all risk of loss from any Damage or Taking.

a. If any Damage occurs which is, at least partially, covered by insurance, then: (A) if Borrower does not promptly make an insurance claim for the Damage, then Lender may, but is not obligated to, make the insurance claim; (B) if Lender makes an insurance claim, then Borrower authorizes and empowers Lender to settle, adjust, or compromise the claim; (C) Borrower authorizes and directs the insurer to make any Damage payment directly to Lender; and (D) unless otherwise expressly set forth in Subsection (iii) below, Lender may apply the Net Proceeds to the Indebtedness in any order it determines.

b. Borrower assigns all Awards to Lender. All Awards must be paid to Lender. Lender may (A) collect, receive, and give receipt for, any Award, (B) accept any Award in any amount without question, and (C) appeal any judgment, decree, or Award. Borrower shall sign and deliver all instruments Lender requests to evidence Borrower's assignments and authorizations in this Subsection.

(iii) Application of Net Proceeds or Award. Except during an Event of Default Period, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds or the Award available to Borrower for Restoration if: (A) prior to beginning the Restoration, in Lender's determination, the Restoration is practical and will be completed (1) within a reasonable time and (2) at least 90 days prior to the Stated Maturity Date; (B) prior to beginning the Restoration, in Lender's determination, Borrower has sufficient business interruption insurance; (C) prior to beginning the Restoration, Borrower enters into Contracts acceptable to Lender for Restoration; (D) prior to beginning the Restoration, if applicable, all Tenants have waived any termination rights arising from the Damage or Taking; (E) prior to the beginning and until completion of the Restoration, Borrower has deposited and continuously maintains all Additional Funds with Lender; and (F) prior to the beginning and until completion of the Restoration, in Lender's determination, once the Restoration is complete, the Debt Coverage Ratio will exceed 1.25:1.00. Lender may (as Lender determines in its sole discretion) apply against the Indebtedness any Net Proceeds or Award in excess of the Restoration costs.

(iv) Disbursement of Net Proceeds or Award. If Net Proceeds or an Award are available for Restoration, then Lender shall, in its sole discretion, establish a disbursement procedure (including lien releases and title insurance) and periodically make the Award or Net Proceeds (and the Additional Funds, if any) available to Borrower (in installments).

(v) Effect on Indebtedness. Prior to, during and after any Damage or Taking, Borrower must continue to pay the Indebtedness and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents. Lender's receipt of Net Proceeds, Rent Loss Proceeds, Additional Funds or an Award does not reduce the Indebtedness until Lender actually applies Net Proceeds, Rent Loss Proceeds, Additional Funds or the Award to the Indebtedness.

(q) Title Insurance. On or before the Effective Date, Borrower shall furnish to Lender, at Borrower's expense, the Loan Title Policy. If the Loan Title Policy becomes invalid, or the insurer becomes insolvent or is placed in receivership, then Borrower shall, within 30 days after Lender's demand, furnish to Lender, at Borrower's expense, a substitute Loan Title Policy.

(i) shall faithfully perform each of its affirmative and negative obligations under the Additional Collateral and the Leases;

(s) Litigation. Borrower will promptly furnish to the Lender written notice of any litigation in which any Borrower Party is involved and any litigation affecting the Property or relating to the Improvements, all only to the extent that such litigation would materially adversely affect any Borrower Party's ability to perform under the Loan Documents to which such Borrower Party is a party or materially adversely impair the ability of Borrower to carry on its business substantially as now conducted or contemplated.

(t) Indebtedness. Borrower shall not incur any indebtedness (including any contingent indebtedness) other than with Lender in excess of $500,000 in the aggregate.

(u) Limitation on Dividends.

5.2. Remedies.

(a) Pre-Event of Default. Lender may file, appear in, or defend any Loan Matter. Lender may employ counsel (including in-house counsel) and incur any expenses, including Attorneys' Fees, in connection with any Loan Matter. If Lender incurs any expense in connection with any Loan Matter, then the expenditure will bear interest at the Default Rate from the date incurred until the date on which Borrower fully repays the expenditure along with all accrued interest. The expenditure and all accrued interest are Indebtedness. Borrower shall immediately pay to Lender all amounts due under this Subsection upon Lender's demand.

(b) Post-Event of Default. Subject to any limitations under the Governing Law and the applicable Laws of the State, during any Event of Default Period:

ARTICLE VI.
GENERAL CONDITIONS

6.1. Waiver. Lender may, without impairing its rights under the Loan Documents (a) waive or not enforce any term of the Loan Documents (b) release any part of the Collateral from the lien or security interest of the Loan Documents or (c) release any Person, directly or indirectly, liable for the Indebtedness or any covenant in the Loan Documents, without releasing the liability of any other Person.

6.2. Lender's Action or Inaction. The liens, security interests or other rights of Lender in any Loan Document will not be impaired by any indulgence, moratorium or release that Lender may grant, including (a) any renewal, extension, increase or modification which Lender may grant with respect to any Indebtedness, (b) any surrender, compromise, release, renewal, extension, exchange or substitution which Lender may grant in respect of the Property, or any part thereof or any interest therein, or (c) any release or indulgence granted to any endorser, guarantor or surety of any Indebtedness. If Lender takes additional security, then Lender will not be deemed to have released or impaired Lender's liens, assignments, security interests or other rights in and to the Property or under the Loan Documents and Borrower's, Guarantor's and any other endorser's, guarantor's or other surety's liability will not be affected, and the rights of any permitted junior lienholder will not be improved, thereby. Lender may resort to any Collateral (or to any other security now existing or hereafter given to secure payment of the Indebtedness) in such order as Lender deems best (in its sole discretion) without waiving any of the rights, benefits, liens or security interests evidenced by the Security Instrument.

6.3. Lender's Rights. Lender may waive any Event of Default without waiving any other prior or subsequent Event of Default. Lender may remedy any Event of Default without waiving the Event of Default remedied. Lender's failure to exercise (in any period of time) any right, power or remedy after any Event of Default will not be a waiver of (i) any Event of Default or (ii) Lender's right to exercise any power or remedy at

a later date. Lender's single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy under the Loan Documents will not exhaust the same or preclude any other or further exercise thereof, and every such right, power or remedy under any of the Loan Documents may be exercised at any time and from time to time. (x) The Loan Documents will not be modified, (y) no waiver under the Loan Documents will be granted, and (z) Lender will not have consented to Borrower's departure from any term of the Loan Documents, unless Lender has executed such a written (a) modification, (b) waiver, or (c) consent, and any such modification, waiver or consent is effective only in the specific instance and purpose for which it was given and to the extent specified in writing. Borrower will not be entitled to any additional notice or demand under the Loan Documents, unless specified therein, regardless of whether Lender has given Borrower any notice or made any demand on Borrower which was not expressly required under the terms of the Loan Documents. Lender may accept, on account only, any payment in an amount less than the amount then due on the Indebtedness without in any way affecting the existence of an Event of Default.

6.4. Third Party Rights. No Person, other than Lender, the Indemnified Parties and Borrower is a beneficiary of the Loan Documents. Lender makes no representations and assumes no duties or obligations to any Person concerning the Improvements.

6.5. Satisfaction of Condition; Time. Lender may freely establish to its satisfaction (in its absolute discretion) the existence (or nonexistence) of any fact actually or implicitly required to satisfy any condition of this Agreement. Time is of the essence for the Loan Documents.

6.6. Assignment; Loan Participations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, Borrower may not assign its rights under any of the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of Lender. Any Borrower assignment without Lender's written consent will (i) be an immediate Event of Default, (ii) relieve Lender from all further obligations under the Loan Documents, and (iii) at Lender's option, be null and void.

(b) Lender may assign, sell or offer to assign or sell interests in the Loan or any portion of the Loan Documents and disseminate to any purchaser, assignee or prospective purchaser or assignee any information Lender has pertaining to the Loan, including credit information on Borrower Parties and any of their respective principals. If Lender makes any assignment or sells any interest in the Loan, then Borrower shall make all modifications, at Lender's or its purchaser's or assignee's expense, to this Agreement as will facilitate Lender's sale or assignment, provided that no modification will materially add to Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents.

6.7. Heirs, Successors and Assigns. The Loan Documents (i) are binding upon Borrower, and its heirs, devisees, representatives, successors and permitted assigns, including all of Borrower's successors-in-interest in and to all or any part of the Property, (ii) inure to the benefit of Lender and the Indemnified Parties, and their respective successors, substitutes and assigns, and (iii) will constitute covenants running with the Land. All references in this Agreement to Borrower, Lender or Indemnified Parties will include all of their respective heirs, devisees, representatives, successors, substitutes and permitted assigns.

6.8. Exercise of Rights and Remedies. Lender may exercise each right and remedy under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity at any time and from time to time. All of Lender's rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity are separate, distinct and cumulative. Lender's exercise of any right or remedy under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity will not preclude Lender from later exercising the same right or remedy, or from exercising any other right or remedy under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity.

6.9. Headings. The headings of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and will not affect the scope or meaning of the sections of this Agreement.

6.10. Inconsistency. If there are any inconsistencies between this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then this Agreement will control all inconsistencies, except those inconsistencies necessary to create or preserve a valid lien upon or security interest in the Collateral. The Security Instrument will control all inconsistencies among the Loan Documents concerning the creation, preservation, perfection and foreclosure of

all liens upon or security interests in the Collateral.

6.11. Applicable Law. The Loan Documents and the rights and obligations of Borrower and Lender are in all respects governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with the Governing Law (without giving effect to its principles of conflicts of law), except for those terms of the Security Instrument pertaining to the creation, perfections, validity, priority or foreclosure of the liens or security interests on the Property located within the State, which terms will be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State (without giving effect to its principles of conflicts of law).

6.12. Forum; Service. BORROWER IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN TULSA, OKLAHOMA, OVER ANY PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS. BORROWER AGREES THAT, IN ADDITION TO ANY METHOD OF SERVICE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ALL SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY PROCEEDING RELATING TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND FILED IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN TULSA, OKLAHOMA, MAY BE SENT AND GIVEN AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 6.18.

6.13. Usury. Lender and Borrower intend that the Loan Documents strictly comply with applicable usury law. Therefore, Lender and Borrower agree that: (i) none of the terms of the Loan Documents create a contract to pay for the use, forbearance or detention of money, or interest at a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate; (ii) no Borrower Party will ever be obligated or required to pay interest on the Indebtedness or any other sums due under the Loan Documents at a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate; and (iii) this Section controls over all other provisions of the Loan Documents which may be in conflict with this Section. Lender expressly disavows any intention to charge or collect excessive unearned interest or finance charges on any portion of the Indebtedness. If at any time the interest received for the Indebtedness exceeds the Maximum Rate, then Lender will, at its option, either refund to Borrower the amount of the excess or credit the amount of the excess against the Principal Amount. Borrower agrees that the Loan is not usurious and agrees that if, at any time, Borrower believes that the Loan is usurious, it shall give Lender (a) notice of the condition and (b) 60 days in which to make an appropriate refund or other adjustment, if necessary, to correct the condition.

6.14. Severability. If any term of the Loan Documents is unenforceable or invalid, then those terms will either be (i) removed from the Loan Documents, or (ii) if possible (and acceptable to Lender), reformed by the court finding the term unenforceable or invalid to be a valid and enforceable term which is as similar as legally possible to the invalid or unenforceable term. All remaining portions of the Loan Documents will remain enforceable and valid.

6.17. Modification or Termination. The Loan Documents may only be amended, modified or terminated by a written instrument executed by Lender and each Borrower Party (who is a party to the Loan Document being amended, modified or terminated). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower agrees that it will be bound by any written amendment or modification of the Loan Documents between Lender and any subsequent owner of the Collateral, with or without notice to Borrower, and Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents will not be impaired because of any such amendment or modification. This Section does not permit Borrower to transfer any of the Collateral.

Lender may require that any Loan Document with a Facsimile Signature be confirmed by an original signature. However, Lender's failure to request or Borrower's failure to deliver any original signature confirmation will not limit the effectiveness of any Loan Document executed by Facsimile Signature.

6.20. No Partnership. Borrower and Lender are not partners or joint venturers with respect to the Property. Nothing in the Loan Documents is intended to create any partnership, joint venture or association between Borrower and Lender.

6.22. Consent of Lender; Approvals. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents, if Lender's approval, consent or judgment is required under any Loan Document, then Lender may, in its sole discretion, exercise its judgment in granting or denying its approval or consent regardless of the reasonableness of the request or Lender's judgment.

6.23. Imaging. Lender may image and destroy the executed, original Loan Documents. Borrower waives any right it has, or may have in the future, to claim that the imaged copies of the Loan Documents are not originals or the best evidence of the Loan Documents.

The Loan Documents supersede all prior written or oral understandings and agreements between Borrower and Lender with respect to the Loan.

6.25. Damage Waiver. Borrower (and any other Borrower Party, who now or hereafter executes a Loan Document) and Lender agree that neither party will be liable to the other party or any other Person for any punitive, exemplary, consequential or other special damages which may actually or allegedly arise from the

Loan, the Loan Documents or the Collateral, INCLUDING ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ACTUALLY OR ALLEGEDLY ARISING FROM THE ORDINARY, CONTRIBUTORY, COMPARATIVE OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE, GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY, OF ANY BORROWER PARTY OR LENDER. The foregoing waiver does not limit or otherwise impair the terms of Section 2.1(b) or Section 4.1(b) above.
