(i) A request for a Eurodollar Loan (a “Eurodollar Loan Request”) must be received by the Agent no later than 2:00 p.m. Chicago, Illinois time two Business Days prior to the first day of the Interest Period on which such Eurodollar Loan shall be advanced, shall be irrevocable, and shall state the initial Interest Period and amount of such Eurodollar Loan. Each Eurodollar Loan will be in an amount not less than Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00). No more than eight (8) separate Eurodollar Loans may be outstanding at any time. A request for a Eurodollar Loan received by the Agent after 2:00 p.m. Chicago, Illinois on any Business Day time will be processed and funded by the Agent on the third Business Day thereafter.

(ii) If pursuant to the Eurodollar Loan Request, the initial Interest Period of any Eurodollar Loan commences on any day other than the first Business Day of any month, then the initial Interest Period of such Eurodollar Loan shall end on the first day of the following calendar month, notwithstanding the Interest Period specified in the Eurodollar Loan Request, and the Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar Loan shall be equal to Eurodollar for an interest period equal to the length of such partial month, plus the Applicable Margin. Thereafter, each Eurodollar Loan shall automatically renew (a “Eurodollar Rollover”) for the Interest Period specified in the Eurodollar Loan Request at the then current Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin unless the Borrower, in a subsequent Eurodollar Loan Request received by the Agent no later than 2:00 p.m. Chicago, Illinois time on the second (2nd) Business Day before the expiration of the existing Interest Period, shall elect a different Interest Period or the conversion of all or a portion of the Eurodollar Loan to a Prime Loan. The Borrower may not elect a Eurodollar Rate, and an Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan shall not automatically renew, with respect to any principal amount which is scheduled to be repaid before the last day of the applicable Interest Period, and any such amounts shall bear interest at the Applicable Base Rate, until repaid.

(iii) “Interest Period” shall mean, with regard to any Eurodollar Loan, successive one, two or three month periods, as selected by the Borrower in its Eurodollar Loan Request; provided, however, that: (A) each Interest Period occurring after the initial Interest Period of any Eurodollar Loan shall commence on the day on which the preceding Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loan expires; (B) whenever the last day of any Interest Period would otherwise occur on a day other than a Business Day, the last day of such Interest Period shall be extended to occur on the next succeeding Business Day; (C) whenever the first day of any Interest Period occurs on a date for which there is no numerically corresponding date in the month in which such Interest Period terminates, such Interest Period shall end on the last day of such month, unless such day is not a Business Day, in which case the Interest Period shall terminate on the first Business Day of the following month, provided, however, that so long as the Eurodollar Rollover remains in effect, all subsequent Interest Periods shall terminate on the date of the month numerically corresponding to the date on which the initial Interest Period commenced; and (D) the final Interest Period for any Eurodollar Loan must be such that its expiration occurs on or before the Maturity Date. If at any time an Interest Period expires less than one month before the Maturity Date, such Eurodollar Loan shall automatically convert to a Prime Loan on the last day of the then existing Interest Period, without further demand, presentment, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower.

Section 2.7 Payments.

(a) Payments of principal and interest due under the Loan, if not sooner declared to be due in accordance with the provisions hereof, shall be made commencing on February 1, 2006, and continuing on the first day of each month thereafter through and including the month in which the Maturity Date occurs, all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal balance of the Loan outstanding from time to time shall be due and payable. Interest accrued on any Eurodollar Loan as of the date of termination, breakage or other disposition shall be due and payable in full on the date of such termination, breakage or disposition.

(b) If a Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, the Applicable Rate shall mean the Default Rate. Additionally, overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of the Loan, and all other overdue amounts owing hereunder, shall bear interest for each day that such amounts are overdue at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.

(c) Agent, upon determining the Applicable Eurodollar Rate for any applicable Interest Period, shall promptly notify by telephone (confirmed in writing) or in writing Borrower thereof.

Section 2.8 Prepayments.

(a) Borrower may prepay any portion of the Loan on any Business Day without penalty, premium or additional charge, except as set forth in Section 2.15 hereof. Upon five (5) days’ written notice to Agent, Borrower may terminate the Loan by prepaying the entire principal balance, all accumulated interest and all other amounts and fees due to Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, Section 2.15 hereof.

(b) Borrower shall be liable for all amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 with respect to a prepayment of all or any portion of the Loan on any date other than the last day of the Interest Period.

Section 2.9 Maturity Date. Borrower shall repay to Agent, for the account of the Lenders, the unpaid principal amount of the Loan made by the Lenders hereunder, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any other sums due and payable to the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents on the Maturity Date.

Section 2.10 Payments, Etc.

(a) All payments under this Agreement shall be pro rated among the Lenders in accordance with their Percentage and shall be made by Borrower, without defense, setoff, or counterclaim, to Agent not later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time) on the date when due and shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Payment Office and any funds received by Agent after such time shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day. Agent shall thereafter cause to be distributed to the Lenders, on the Business Day when paid, in like funds, their Percentage of payments so received. In the event Agent fails to cause such funds to be distributed to any Lender on the same Business Day when paid (or deemed paid) to Agent, Agent shall pay interest to such Lender on such amounts at the Federal Funds Rate.

(b) Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under the Promissory Notes shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (unless an Interest Period expires on the next preceding Business Day pursuant to Section 2.6(c), in which case the due date shall be the next preceding Business Day) and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the Applicable Rate during such extension.

(c) All computations of interest on the Loan shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable. Each determination by Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall, except for patent error, be final, conclusive, and binding upon Borrower for all purposes.

(d) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement shall be applied as follows: (a) first, to fees, expenses, costs and other similar amounts then due and payable to Agent and the Lenders, including, without limitation any prepayment premium, exit fee or late charges due hereunder, (b) second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding balance of the Loan, (c) third, to the payment of principal due in the month in which the payment or prepayment is made, if any, (d) fourth, to any escrows, impounds or other amounts which may then be due and payable under the Loan Documents, (e) fifth, to any other amounts then due Agent and/or Lenders hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, and (f) last, to the unpaid principal balance of the Loan, which amount shall be allocated pro rata amongst the Mortgaged Properties based upon the portion of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan attributable to each of the Mortgaged Properties, as determined by the Agent from time to time; provided, however, if the payment of the principal balance is made pursuant to a release of a Mortgaged Property pursuant to Section 9.1, the principal payment shall first be applied towards the outstanding principal balance of the Loan attributed to such Mortgaged Property by Agent at the time of payment and any excess shall be allocated pro rata amongst any remaining Mortgaged Properties based upon the portion of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan attributable to each of such Mortgaged Properties as determined by Agent. Any prepayment of the Loan shall not extend or postpone the Maturity Date or reduce the amount of any subsequent monthly payment of principal and interest due hereunder. After an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, payments may be applied by Agent to amounts owed hereunder and under the Loan Documents in such order as Agent shall determine, in its sole discretion.

Section 2.11 Interest Rate Not Ascertainable, Etc. If Agent shall have determined (which determination shall, except for patent error, be final, conclusive and binding upon Borrower for all purposes) that on any date for determining the Applicable Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period, by reason of any circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, or Agent’s position in such market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of Applicable Eurodollar Rate, then, and in any such event, Agent shall forthwith give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower of such determination. Until Agent notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to the suspension described herein no longer exist, then the Loan shall bear interest at the Applicable Base Rate then in effect.

Section 2.12 Illegality.

(a) If any Lender (a “Notifying Lender”) shall have determined at any time that compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority adopted or becoming effective after the date hereof renders unlawful the making or continuance of the Loan by such Lender, the Notifying Lender shall give prompt notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to Agent, and Agent to Borrower of such determination.

(b) Upon the giving of the notice to Agent and Borrower referred to in Section 2.12(a) above, such Lender’s Commitment shall immediately convert into a Loan bearing interest at the Applicable Base Rate, provided that, in such event, Borrower shall not be liable for any costs referred to in Section 2.15(ii) hereof resulting solely by reason of such conversion occurring prior to the last day of a Interest Period.

Section 2.13 Increased Costs.

(a) If, by reason of (x) after the date hereof, the implementation of or any change (including, without limitation, any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve or capital adequacy requirements) in, or in the interpretation by any Governmental Authority or any other recognized authority of, any law or regulation, or (y) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority or quasi-Governmental Authority exercising control over banks or financial institutions generally (whether or not having the force of law) adopted or becoming effective after the date hereof:

(i) any Lender (or its Lending Office) shall be subject to any tax, duty, or other charge, with respect to the Loan or its obligation to make the Loan, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender of the principal of or interest on the Loan or its obligation to make the Loan (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender or its Lending Office imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Lender’s principal executive office or Lending Office is located); or

(ii) any reserve, special deposit, or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any reserve, special deposit, or similar requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or its Lending Office shall be imposed or deemed applicable or any other condition affecting the Loan shall be imposed on such Lender or its Lending Office or the interbank Eurodollar market; and as a result thereof there shall be any cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or maintain the Loan (except to the extent already included in the determination of the Applicable Eurodollar Rate for the Loan), or there shall be a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender or its Lending Office, then Borrower shall from time to time, upon written notice and demand by Agent, pay to Agent for the account of such Lender, within five (5) Business Days after the date specified in such notice and demand, additional amounts sufficient to indemnify such Lender against such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost and setting forth in reasonable detail the reason for the adjustment and the calculation thereof, submitted to Borrower and Agent by such Lender, shall, except for patent error, be final, conclusive, and binding for all purposes. In the event that a Lender becomes aware of the imposition of a cost to such Lender or a reduction in the amount to be received or receivable by such Lender or its Lending Office which is an additional cost pursuant to this Section 2.13, such Lender shall notify Agent and Borrower in writing of such imposition or reduction. With respect to costs or reductions incurred by a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13 relating to any period in which the Loan is in effect, the provisions of this Section 2.13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Promissory Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(b) If the Lenders shall notify Borrower in writing that at any time, because of the circumstances described in clause (x) or (y) in Section 2.13(a) or any other circumstances arising after the Closing Date and relating to any period in which the Loan is in effect affecting the Lenders or the interbank Eurodollar market or the Lenders’ position in such market, the Applicable Eurodollar Rate, as determined by Agent, will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding the Loan subject to such rate, then thereafter, the Loan shall bear interest at the Applicable Base Rate, provided that in such event, Borrower shall not be liable for any costs referred to in Section 2.15(i) hereof resulting solely by reason of such conversion occurring prior to the last day of a Interest Period.

Section 2.14 Change of Lending. Each Lender agrees that it will use reasonable efforts to designate an alternate Lending Office with respect to its Commitment affected by the matters or circumstances described in Sections 2.11, 2.12 or 2.13 to reduce the liability of Borrower or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion.

Section 2.15 Funding Losses. Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon such Lender’s written request to Agent and Agent’s delivery thereof to Borrower (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts and which request shall, absent patent error, be final, conclusive, and binding upon Borrower for all purposes), for all losses, expenses, and liabilities (including, without limitation, any interest paid by such Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry the Loan to the extent not recovered by such Lender in connection with the re-employment of such funds), which such Lender may sustain: (i) if any repayment of any portion of the Loan occurs on a date which is not the last day of the Interest Period; or (ii) if, for any reason, Borrower defaults in its obligation to repay the Loan when required by the terms of this Agreement. With respect to losses, expenses and liabilities which a Lender may sustain as described in this Section 2.15 relating to any period in which its Commitment is in effect, the provisions of this Section 2.15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Promissory Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 2.16 Taxes. All payments made by Borrower under this Agreement and the Promissory Notes shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp, or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, reserves or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding in the case of each Lender, net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on such Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the jurisdiction of the government or taxing authority imposing such tax and such Lender (excluding a connection arising solely from such Lender having executed, delivered, or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or the Promissory Notes) or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions and withholdings being hereinafter called “Taxes”). If any Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to any Lender hereunder or under the Promissory Notes, the amounts so payable to such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Lender (after payment of all Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement and the appropriate Promissory Note. Whenever any Taxes are payable by Borrower pursuant to applicable law, as promptly as possible thereafter Borrower shall send to Agent a certified copy of an original official receipt received by Borrower showing payment thereof. If any Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Agent and each Lender for any incremental taxes, interest, or penalties that may become payable by Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. With respect to any obligations of Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16 relating to any period in which the Loan is in effect, the agreements in this Section 2.16, shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Promissory Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(a) Property and casualty insurance coverage evidenced by original or certified copies of insurance policies or binders for such insurance, together with evidence that the premiums for such policies have been paid current. Such insurance policies shall insure each of the Mortgaged Properties for 100% of their full replacement cost in so-called “all risk” form and with coverage for floods, terrorism, earthquakes (except as provided in Section 4.16(b)) and such other hazards (including “collapse” and “explosion” and mold related damage) as Agent may require for each of the Mortgaged Properties and as are consistent with reasonable and customary requirements in the industry. Such insurance policies shall contain replacement cost and agreed amount endorsements (with no reduction for depreciation), an endorsement providing Building Ordinance Coverage and an endorsement covering the costs of demolition and increased costs of construction due to the enforcement of building codes or ordinances. To the extent there exists a boiler on the premises of any of the Mortgaged Properties, Borrower shall also furnish insurance providing boiler and machinery comprehensive coverage for all mechanical and electrical equipment at each of such Mortgaged Properties insuring against breakdown or explosion of such equipment on a replacement cost value basis. Borrower shall also furnish business interruption or loss of rental income insurance in connection with all policies covering property and boiler and machinery insurance for a period of not less than one (1) year endorsed, other than with respect to boiler and machinery insurance, to provide a 180 day extended period of indemnity. All insurance required under this Section 4.16(a) shall (i) be with companies and in amounts and with coverage and deductibles satisfactory to Agent and (ii) include endorsements naming the Lenders as loss payees and shall have endorsed thereon the standard mortgagee clause in favor of the Lenders.

All policies required under this Section 4.16 shall provide that (i) the insurance evidenced thereby shall not be canceled or modified without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice from the insurance carrier to Agent; and (ii) no act or thing done by Borrower or any Affiliate thereof shall invalidate the policy as against the Lenders. Borrower shall deliver renewal certificates of all policies of insurance required under this certificate, together with written evidence that the premiums are paid current, at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the then current policy.

Section 4.17 Mortgaged Properties.

(a) Borrower has good and marketable title to all of its assets and properties, and each Executing Subsidiary has good and marketable title to the applicable Mortgaged Property, subject to no mortgage, security interest, pledge, lien, charge, encumbrance or title retention or other security agreement or arrangement of any nature whatsoever, except Permitted Encumbrances. Borrower and the applicable Executing Subsidiary will forever warrant and defend the title of the Mortgaged Properties against the lawful claims and demands of all persons whomsoever (subject to the Permitted Encumbrances) for such Mortgaged Properties.

(d) The Collateral Pool is now, and so long as the Loan remains in effect or any monetary obligation to Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the Promissory Notes or the other Loan Documents shall remain unpaid, will be owned solely by Borrower or the applicable Executing Subsidiary, and said Collateral Pool, including the proceeds resulting from the sale or other disposition thereof, is and will remain free and clear of any Liens except the Permitted Encumbrances and the other Liens granted pursuant to the Loan Documents to Agent and the Lenders, which Liens to Agent and the Lenders shall, at all times, be first and prior on the Collateral Pool and all proceeds resulting from the sale or other disposition thereof, and no further action need be taken to perfect said Liens.

Section 6.3 Marshaling; Waiver of Certain Rights; Recapture. Neither Agent nor the Lenders shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrower or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the obligations of such parties.

Each Lender and its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, counsel and agents shall not incur any liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral Pool, or any part thereof, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or any Loan Document, or for the failure to sell or offer for sale the Collateral Pool, or any part thereof, for any reason whatsoever. Borrower waives any claims against each Lender and its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, counsel and agents arising with respect to the price at which the Collateral Pool, or any part thereof, may have been sold by reason of the fact that such price was less than the aggregate amount of the indebtedness due under the Promissory Notes, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b) Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to deposit any proceeds in its possession which are available under clause (v) of Section 6.4(a) above into a court of competent jurisdiction for determination by such court of the disposition of such excess proceeds and upon such deposit, Agent shall have no further liability with respect to such proceeds. All costs and expenses of Agent in connection with such action may be deducted or charged by Agent against such excess proceeds and shall otherwise be reimbursed by Borrower upon demand. Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to request and rely on the instructions of Borrower in connection with the disposition of any such excess proceeds and, upon compliance with such instructions, shall have no further liability with respect to such proceeds.

Section 6.5 Attorneys-in-Fact. Borrower hereby makes, constitutes and appoints Agent, and its agents and designees, the true and lawful agents and attorneys-in-fact of Borrower, with full power of substitution, to take any or all of the following actions during the continuance of an Event of Default: (i) to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to Borrower relating to the Collateral Pool, (ii) to notify and direct the United States Post Office authorities by notice given in the name of Borrower and signed on its behalf, to change the address for delivery of all mail addressed to Borrower relating to the Collateral Pool to an address to be designated by Agent, and to cause such mail to be delivered to such designated address where Agent may open all such mail and remove therefrom any notes, checks, acceptances, drafts, money orders or other instruments in payment of the Collateral Pool in which Agent has a security interest hereunder and any documents relative thereto, with full power to endorse the name of Borrower upon any such notes, checks, acceptances, drafts, money orders or other form of payment or on the Collateral Pool or security of any kind and to effect the deposit and collection thereof, and Agent shall have the further right and power to endorse the name of Borrower on any documents otherwise relating to such Collateral Pool, and (iii) to do any and all other things necessary or proper to carry out the intent of this Agreement and to perfect and protect the Liens and rights of Agent created under this Agreement, including, without limitation, to claim, bring suit, settle or adjust any insurance proceeds claims relating to the Collateral Pool. Borrower agrees that neither the Lenders nor any of their officers, directors, shareholders, employees, counsel, agents, designees or attorneys-in-fact will be liable for any acts of commission or omission, or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law, except for any acts of gross negligence or willful misconduct. The powers granted hereunder are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable during the term hereof.

The agreements in this subsection shall survive the payment of the Promissory Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.

If any such reimbursement is not made in immediately available funds on the same day on which Agent shall have made such amount available on behalf of any Lender, such Lender shall also pay interest thereon to Agent at the Federal Funds Rate. In the event that Agent advances a Lender’s Commitment draw pursuant to the terms of this Section 7.11 and such Lender fails to reimburse Agent, Borrower shall repay such amounts to Agent, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate until so repaid.

Section 7.12 Priority of Loans. Each Lender’s Commitment shall be of equal priority with each other Lender’s Commitment, and no portion of any Commitment shall have priority or preference over any other Commitment or the security therefor.

Section 7.14 Decisions of the Lenders. (a) Except as expressly set forth in Sections 7.15 and 7.16 hereof, all decisions, consents, waivers, approvals and other actions (collectively, “Decisions”) authorized to be taken under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by any Lender shall be taken by Agent in its discretion reasonably exercised, subject to the provisions of Section 7.4 hereof. Except as expressly provided in Sections 7.15 and 7.16 hereof, Agent (i) may consent or withhold consent to any action by Borrower, (ii) may exercise or refrain from exercising any power, rights or remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or otherwise in respect of the Loans, and/or (iii) may waive any conditions in any Loan Documents, so long as such consent, exercise or waiver would not, in Agent’s judgment reasonably exercised, represent a departure from the standards followed by Agent in the administration of loans held by Agent entirely for its own account. Agent may request a Decision with respect to matters described in Sections 7.15 and 7.16 hereof at any time by making a request for such Decision in writing to all of the Lenders. Any such request (x) shall contain an adequate description together with relevant background information of the Decision being requested, (y) shall specify the reasons for such request, and (z) shall state the effect of not responding to such notice as set forth in this Section 7.14. Agent will provide the Lenders with such additional information as the Lenders may reasonably request to assist such Lenders in reaching a Decision, to the extent such information is in Agent’s possession or under its control. The requested Decision shall be deemed approved by the Lenders if and when Agent receives written approval from the required percentage of the Lenders as specified in Sections 7.15 and 7.16 hereof, as the case may be. If a Lender does not deliver to Agent a written objection thereto within ten (10) Business Days after hand delivery, mailing by certified mail, return receipt requested, delivery to an express courier, or, so long as a copy is sent by another method specified in this sentence, sent by facsimile transmission of the request by Agent, such Lender shall be deemed to have approved the requested Decision. If Agent is unable to contact the usual representatives of a Lender for any reason, Agent will make a good faith effort to contact other representatives of such Lender as necessary to reach a Decision within the allotted time. To the extent that Agent reasonably deems necessary, any such Decision may also be requested telephonically by Agent from each Lender with such telephonic request to be confirmed in writing by Agent. Any Decision as to which Agent has made telephonic requests for approval shall be deemed approved by the Lenders after Agent has received the written approval of the required percentage of the Lenders as specified in Sections 7.15 and 7.16 hereof. Borrower shall be promptly notified of the Decision, if such Decision was made in response to a request by Borrower.

Section 7.15 Unanimous Approvals by the Lenders. No written amendment, supplement, modification or waiver which adds, deletes, changes or waives any provisions of the Loan Documents shall (a), without the prior approval of all Lenders, (i) extend either the Maturity Date or any installment or required prepayment of the Loan; (ii) reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest on the Loan; (iii) reduce the principal amount of the Loan; (iv) reduce the fees payable under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or any other fee payable to the Lenders; (v) change any Lender’s Commitment (except as the same may be reduced by any prepayment of the Loan permitted under this Agreement); or (vi) change any provision of this Section 7.15 or the definition of Required Lenders; or (b) amend, modify or waive any provision of any Loan Document, if the effect thereof is to affect the rights or duties of Agent, without the written consent of the then Agent. Any such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver shall apply to each of the Lenders equally and shall be binding upon Borrower, the Lenders, Agent and all future holders of the Promissory Notes. In the case of any waiver, Borrower, the Lenders and Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the outstanding Promissory Notes, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 7.16 Approvals by the Required Lenders.

(a) Upon Agent’s receipt of a notice of default (as defined in Section 7.5(a) hereof) with respect to an Event of Default, Agent shall consult with the Lenders in respect of any such Event of Default to determine a course of action which is acceptable to the Required Lenders. Subject to Section 7.15 hereof, Agent shall pursue any such course of action approved by the Required Lenders in respect of any such Event of Default, including, without limitation, acceleration of the Loan. In the event that the Required Lenders cannot decide which remedies, if any, are to be pursued, Agent may commence proceedings on behalf of the Lenders; provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the Required Lenders shall direct that a different or additional remedial action shall be taken, such different or additional remedial action shall be taken in lieu of or in addition to such proceedings.

(b) Agent shall not, without the prior approval of the Required Lenders, (i) enter into written amendments, supplements, modifications or waivers for the purpose of adding, deleting, changing or waiving any of the provisions of Article V or Section 6.1, except to the extent such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver requires the unanimous consent of the Lenders pursuant to Section 7.15 hereof, or (ii) enter into written amendments, supplements, modifications or waivers for the purpose of adding, deleting, changing or waiving any provision of the Loan Documents, except to the extent such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver requires the unanimous consent of the Lenders (pursuant to Section 7.15 hereof), or (iii) except as otherwise specifically set forth in Article III, consent to, approve, or waive the requirement of receipt of, any documents, certificates or other agreements or statements delivered or to be delivered by Borrower or any other Person pursuant to Article III hereof or (iv) consent to or permit (if not expressly permitted under the Loan Documents) the assignment or transfer by Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under any Loan Document, consent to any merger or consolidation or sale, lease or other disposal of all or a substantial part of Borrower’s property or assets, modify any financial covenants, waive any Default or Event of Default, or waive or release any lien on any of the Mortgaged Properties or commence any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure proceeding, in each case without the written consent of all the Lenders.

(c) All losses, costs, expenses, disbursements, liabilities, fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements), obligations, damages, suits, actions and penalties of any kind or nature whatsoever (collectively, a “Loss”) incurred by Agent in connection with the Loans (except any Loss resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) shall be borne by the Lenders in accordance with each Lender’s Percentage.

(d) Each Lender shall, upon demand by Agent, reimburse Agent (to the extent not otherwise reimbursed by Borrower) for such Lender’s Percentage of (i) any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Agent in good faith in connection with any Event of Default under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of outside counsel), and (ii) any other expenses incurred in good faith to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents.

(e) Borrower hereby consents and agrees to the provisions of Sections 7.14 through 7.16 and any modifications thereof entered into by Agent and the Lenders of such provisions and specifically acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding any provisions in the Loan Documents requiring action by the “Lenders” or similar provisions in connection with the declaration of an Event of Default, the acceleration of the indebtedness evidenced by the Loan Documents and/or the exercise of any remedies under the Loan Documents, Agent is hereby empowered to act on behalf of the Lenders in accordance with the provisions hereof and the authority of Agent with respect to any action taken by Agent pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement shall not be contested by Borrower by reason of any different or conflicting provision contained in any of the Loan Documents.

Section 7.17 Management of Acquired Collateral. If, following any Event of Default, Agent acquires title to one or more Mortgaged Properties by foreclosure under the Mortgage (or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure), Agent shall hold title to such Mortgaged Property in its own name, as Agent for the Lenders to the extent of their Commitments. Each Lender hereby irrevocably waives any right to seek a partition of any interest in the Mortgaged Property. Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right to make (or to refrain from making) all decisions with respect to the leasing, encumbering, use, operation, maintenance, improvement, repair and restoration of the Mortgaged Property (and any improvements located thereon); provided, however, that Agent shall not, without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders (a) sell (or lease as a whole) the Mortgaged Property or encumber the Mortgaged Property with a mortgage, deed of trust or similar instrument securing indebtedness for borrowed money, or (b) make any single expenditure with respect to the Mortgaged Property in an amount in excess of $100,000 (exclusive of taxes and assessments, insurance premiums, utility charges and expenditures required to comply with applicable laws), or (c) make any material repairs, restorations and/or improvements to the Mortgaged Property (except to the extent required by applicable laws). Subject to the foregoing, each Lender, pro rata in accordance with its Percentage, shall reimburse Agent on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Agent in connection with the sale, lease, encumbering, use, operation, maintenance, improvement, repair and restoration of the Mortgaged Property (including all costs and charged, insurance premiums, common area maintenance charges, leasing commissions, tenant improvement costs, repair costs and restoration costs). The indemnity provisions contained in Section 7.7 above shall apply equally to actions (and omissions) by Agent with respect to the Mortgaged Property so acquired by Agent. Each Lender shall participate pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage in all income, expenses, profits and losses of the Mortgaged Property. Without limitation on the foregoing, Agent shall endeavor to consult with the Lenders prior to making any material decision regarding the Mortgaged Property.

Section 8.3 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Lenders in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document and no course of dealing between Borrower and Agent or the Lenders shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy hereunder. The rights and remedies herein and in the other Loan Documents expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies that the Lenders would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on Borrower not required hereunder or under the other Loan Documents in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Lenders to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

Section 8.4 Payment of Expenses, Etc.Borrower shall:

(a) whether or not the transactions hereby contemplated are consummated, pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Agent in the administration (both before and after the execution hereof and including advice of counsel as to the rights and duties of Agent) of, and in connection with the preparation, execution, and delivery of, preservation of rights under, enforcement of, and, after an Event of Default, refinancing, renegotiation, or restructuring of, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the documents and instruments referred to therein; any amendment, waiver, or consent relating thereto (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Agent);

(c) to the extent permitted by applicable law, pay and hold Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against any and all present and future stamp, recording, and other similar taxes and fees with respect to the foregoing matters and save the Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission to pay such taxes and fees; and

(d) indemnify Agent and the Lenders and each of their officers, directors, employees, Affiliates, representatives, and agents from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all costs, losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by any of them (whether or not any of them is designated a party thereto) arising out of or by reason of any litigation, or other proceeding related to any actual or proposed use by Borrower of the proceeds of any of the Loans or Borrower entering into and performing of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or resulting from the ownership of any Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation, or other proceeding; provided that Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify any such Person to the extent of any costs, losses, liabilities, claims, damages, or expenses caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person.

If and to the extent that the obligations of Borrower under this Section 8.4 are unenforceable for any reason, Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law. Borrower’s obligations under this Section 8.4 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the payment of the sums due hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

Section 8.5 Right of Setoff. In addition to and not in limitation of all rights of offset that the Lenders may have under applicable law, the Lenders shall, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and whether or not the Lenders have made any demand or Borrower’s obligations are matured, have the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of Borrower’s obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) of Borrower then or thereafter held by, and other indebtedness or property then or thereafter owing by, the Lenders.

Section 8.6 Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto, provided that Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its interest hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lenders.

Section 8.7 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.

(a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder shall be construed in accordance with and be governed by the law (without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof) of the State of Illinois except as otherwise specifically provided in the Loan Documents.

(b) Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any document related thereto may be brought in the courts of the State of Illinois or of the United States of America for the Northern District of Illinois, and by execution and delivery of this Agreement, Borrower hereby accepts for itself and in respect of its property generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Borrower hereby irrevocably waives any objection, including, without limitation, any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in such respective jurisdictions. Borrower agrees that any process in any proceeding in any such court may be served on Borrower through the United States mails in accordance with Section 8.1.

(c) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PROMISSORY NOTE OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND FROM ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

Section 8.9 Headings Descriptive. The headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

Section 8.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and all prior discussions, negotiations, term sheets, commitment letters, agreements, correspondence and document drafts with respect to such matters are merged herein and therein. Neither the Lenders nor any employee of the Lenders has authorized to make any representation or agreement upon which Borrower or its Affiliates may rely unless such matter is set forth in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Section 8.11 Further Assurances. Borrower hereby agrees to, promptly upon the request of the Lenders, execute and deliver to the Lenders such additional documents and to provide such additional information as the Lenders may reasonably require to carry out or confirm the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Section 8.12 Participation. Any Lender may at any time after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, sell to one or more Persons (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its Commitment, any Promissory Note held by such Lender and/or any other interest of such Lender hereunder (in respect of any such Lender, its “Credit Exposure”). Notwithstanding any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Promissory Note for all purposes hereunder (except as expressly provided below), and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder. Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.15 hereof. Each Lender agrees that any agreement between such Lender and any such Participant in respect of such participating interest shall not restrict such Lender’s fight to agree to any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification to any Loan Document, except where the result of any of the foregoing would be to extend the final maturity of any Loan or any regularly scheduled installment thereof or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon or reduce the principal amount thereof.

Section 8.13 Assignments.

(a) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and from time to time assign to any Lender or any affiliate thereof or to any other Person (each a “Purchasing Lender”) all or any part of its Credit Exposure, provided that the Credit Exposure acquired by such assignee shall equal or exceed $5,000,000. Borrower, Agent and the Lenders agree that to the extent of any assignment, the Purchasing Lender shall be deemed to have the same rights and benefits under the Loan Documents and the same obligation as it would have had if it had been a Lender which was one of the original parties hereto. The consent of Agent and, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred, Borrower shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective, which consents will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided that Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with the assignor Lender in connection with the interests so assigned to the Purchasing Lender unless and until such Purchasing Lender executes a supplement to this Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit M attached hereto (a “Form of Assignment and Assumption Agreement”). Borrower acknowledges that the provisions of this Section 8.13 relate only to absolute assignments of a Lender’s Credit Exposure and that any restrictions thereon do not pertain to or prohibit assignments creating security interests, including any pledge or assignment by a Lender of its Credit Exposure or Promissory Notes to a Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Requirements of Law.

(b) Upon (i) execution of a Form of Assignment and Assumption Agreement, (ii) delivery of an executed copy thereof to Borrower and Agent, (iii) payment by such Purchasing Lender to such transferor Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender and such Purchasing Lender, and (iv) payment to the Agent of an assignment fee in the amount of [$3,000.00], such transferor Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment and such Purchasing Lender shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto, and no further consent or action by Borrower, the Lenders or Agent shall be required. Such Form of Assignment and Assumption Agreement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Lender as a Lender. Promptly after the consummation of any transfer to a Purchasing Lender pursuant hereto, the transferor Lender, Agent and Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that a replacement Promissory Note is issued to such transferor Lender and a new Promissory Note is issued to such Purchasing Lender, in each case in principal amounts reflecting such transfer.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 8.13, the Agent shall always maintain its Commitment in an amount which is equal to or greater than the respective Commitments of each other Lender.

Section 8.14 Withholding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Participant or other assignee of all or any part of the Credit Exposure of any Lender, other than a Purchasing Lender, shall be entitled to any of the benefits of Section 2.16 hereof.

Section 8.15 Amounts Received by the Lenders. Each Lender agrees that it shall act as a trustee for the benefit of the other Lenders to the extent of the respective interests of the other Lenders in the Loan with respect to all sums of any kind paid to or received by such Lender in payment of all or a portion of the Loan, by or on behalf of Borrower.

Section 8.16 No Joint Venture. Neither the execution of this Agreement nor the selling of an interest in the Loans nor any agreement to share in profits or losses as provided herein is intended to be, nor shall it be construed to be, the formation of a partnership or joint venture among the parties to this Agreement.

Section 8.17 Acknowledgment by Parties Hereto. The agreement to and acceptance of this Agreement by the parties hereto, indicated by the execution of this Agreement, shall evidence (a) each party’s acceptance of all the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (b) each party’s consent to Agent’s acting as Agent on behalf of the Lenders with regard to all aspects of the administration, enforcement and collection of the Loan and to all matters pertaining to the Loan Documents as provided for herein.

Section 8.18 Right of the Lenders and Agent to Transact Business. The Lenders, Agent and/or any of their respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with, Borrower, its general partners, including General Partner, any partners of the general partners, or any other Person without any duty to account therefor to the other Lenders and/or Agent, as the case may be.

Section 8.19 Sharing of Payments. Each of the Lenders agrees that if it should receive any amount under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents, or otherwise) which is applicable to the payment of the Loan of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by the other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of the Loan then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of the Loan then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Loan owing to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all of the Lenders in such amount; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

Section 8.20 Limitation of Liability. Except as set forth in Section 7.11 above, no claim may be made by Borrower or any other Person against Agent or any Lender or any of their Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agent of any of such Persons for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or under Article VII; and Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

Section 8.21 Reliance by Borrower. Borrower shall have the right to rely, without investigation, upon all notices, approvals or other actions of Agent. All provisions of this Agreement requiring submission by Borrower of information or other documentation, or the obtaining of any approvals or consents, shall be deemed to apply to Agent only and Borrower shall not otherwise be required to obtain any approvals of any other Lenders. All actions, information, reports, notices and any and all other action by Agent to Borrower shall be binding upon all Lenders.

Section 8.22 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence in this Agreement.

Section 8.23 Indemnity. Except for an Indemnified Loss which is finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly and proximately from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lenders or, if applicable Agent, Borrower agrees absolutely to protect, defend, indemnify and hold the Lenders, Agent, their respective officers, directors, employees and agents and each other Person controlling any of the foregoing (each, an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any and all harm, loss, liability, damage, suite, claim, expense, fees and costs (including, without limitation, court costs and attorneys’ fees) (each, an “Indemnified Loss”) suffered or incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with any claim, demand, suit or proceeding brought or asserted by any Person against an Indemnified Party arising out of or relating to the Lenders’ and Agent’s entering into or carrying out the terms of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or being the holder of a Promissory Note or any of the Loan Documents or resulting from Borrower’s performance hereunder including, without limitation, any injury or damage to any Person or property occurring on or about any of the Mortgaged Properties. This Section 8.23 is intended to apply only to third party claims against the Indemnified Parties, and not the Lenders’ claims against Borrower if an Event of Default has occurred, which shall be limited as provided in Article XI. This Section 8.23 shall survive the repayment of the Indebtedness, the cancellation of the Promissory Notes, and the foreclosures or reconveyance of the Lenders’ security interests in any applicable Mortgaged Properties.

Section 8.24 Knowledge. For purposes of this Agreement, the phrases “to the knowledge of Borrower” or “to the best knowledge of Borrower” shall mean, after reasonable inquiry of Property Manager, the knowledge of Thompson, Scott D. Peters and Andrea R. Biller.

Section 8.25 Transitional Arrangements.

(a) This Agreement shall supersede the Original Agreement in its entirety, except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.25. On the Closing Date, the rights and obligations of the parties under the Original Agreement, the “Notes” and the “Note Assumptions” and any Letters of Credit (as such terms are defined in the Original Agreement) shall be subsumed within and be governed by this Agreement, the Notes and the Note Assumptions; provided however, that any of the obligations and liabilities of Borrower under the Original Agreement outstanding under the Original Agreement shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be obligations and liabilities hereunder. The Lenders’ interests in such obligations and liabilities shall be reallocated on the Closing Date in accordance with each Lender’s applicable Percentage.

(b) Upon its receipt of the Notes and the Note Assumptions to be delivered hereunder on the Closing Date, each Lender will promptly return to Borrower, marked “Cancelled” or “Replaced,” the notes and note assumptions of Borrower held by such Lender pursuant to the Original Agreement. In the event that any Lender does not return its note or note assumption pursuant to the Original Agreement within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Borrower shall be entitled to receive an affidavit from such Lender with respect to the unreturned note.

(c) All interest and all commitment, facility and other fees and expenses due as of the Closing Date or accruing under or in respect of the Original Agreement shall be calculated as of the Closing Date (with the Unused Facility Fee (as defined in the Original Agreement) and Letter of Credit Fee (as defined in the Original Agreement) prorated for any fractional periods), and shall be paid on the Closing Date in accordance with the method specified in the Original Agreement as if such agreement were still in effect.

Section 8.26 Replacement Documents. Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of Agent or any Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of a Promissory Note or any Loan Document which is not of public record, and, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Promissory Note or Loan Document, Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Promissory Note or Loan Document, dated the date such Promissory Note or Loan Document was lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated, in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor.

(f) Borrower shall submit evidence that the Minimum Collateral Pool and the Minimum Net Worth shall be satisfied after giving effect to the requested release; and
