WHEREAS, Borrower, Agent, and Bank of America (“BOA”) and Citizens Financial Services, FSB (“Citizens”), as Lenders, are parties to a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of January 25, 2006 (the “Credit Agreement”) pursuant to which the Lenders agreed to make a loan to Borrower in an aggregate amount of $58,368,618.00 (the “Loan”); and

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to release the Mortgaged Property located at 20809-20829 72nd Avenue South and 6811 South 204th Street, Kent, Washington and known as Centerpoint Corporate Park (the “Centerpoint Property”) pursuant to Article IX of the Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the parties wish to repay in full the Commitments held by BOA and Citizens rather than making payments pro rata in accordance with Lenders’ Percentages pursuant to Section 2.10 of the Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the parties agree that following the repayment in full of the BOA and Citizens Commitments, the balance of the Release Price resulting from the sale of the Centerpoint Property will be used to pay down the Commitment of LaSalle Bank National Association in its role as a Lender;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements of the parties contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Borrower, Agent and the Lenders agree as follows:
