NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, the covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.        Recitals.   The foregoing recitals are hereby restated and made a material part of this Assumption.

Loan No. 100009090


(b)        References.  Without limiting the generality of any of the liabilities and obligations assumed by Assignee hereby, Lender, Assignor and Assignee agree that, to the extent applicable, (i) wherever the terms “undersigned” or “maker” appear in the Note, such references shall mean, in lieu of Assignor, the Assignee, (ii) that wherever the term “party of the first part” or “Mortgagor” or “Borrower” or “grantor” appears in the Mortgage, such reference shall mean, in lieu of Assignor, the Assignee, and (iii) that wherever the term “Borrower” or “assignor” appears in the Assignment, such reference shall mean, in lieu of Assignor, the Assignee.

(c)        Due on Sale.    The due on sale provisions contained in the fourth paragraph of Section 2.9 of the Mortgage (which begin with the words “Notwithstanding the above restrictions” and end with the words “The right to make a One-Time Third Party Transfer by the original Mortgagor may be exercised only with Mortgagee’s prior approval of the matters that require its approval, or as to which it is required to be satisfied, as provided above.”) are hereby deleted in their entirety, as the conveyance of the Mortgaged Property to Assignee is the One-Time Third Party Transfer permitted by such provisions, and the following shall be substituted therefor:

Notwithstanding the above restrictions, transfers of direct and/or indirect equity interests in Global Income Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“GIT”), an affiliate of Mortgagor and the guarantor of the obligations of the Mortgagor under the Note, resulting from a public offering, sale of publicly-traded shares, “privatization”, merger, reverse merger or similar event shall be permitted without the prior written consent of Mortgagee.

Section 2.9(b) of the Mortgage is hereby deleted in its entirety and there is substituted therefor the following:

(b)        Provided that no Event of Default (as such term is hereinafter defined) has occurred and is continuing hereunder, transfers of direct and/or indirect equity interests in Mortgagor shall be permitted without the prior written consent of Lender, provided that:

(i)        other than in connection with a transfer, conveyance or pledge of a direct interest in a Qualified Equityholder, and except (a) as may be otherwise prohibited by applicable law or (b) for a transfer or transfers of publicly traded stock, and issuances of stock to the public which is the subject of or is exempt from filing(s) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Borrower shall provide not less than ten (10) days prior written notice to Lender; and

(ii)        no such transfer shall result in a Change of Control.

For the avoidance of doubt, equity transfers of interests in Mortgagor among Affiliates of GIT shall be permitted without the consent of Mortgagee subject to the other terms set forth herein

If at the time of the proposed cessation or termination of CNL Global Income Advisors, LLC or an affiliate of GIT Global Income Advisors, LLC as the Advisor, the shareholder’s equity is less than $34,000,000, such proposed termination or cessation shall require the written consent of Mortgagee and the payment by Mortgagor to Mortgagee of a transaction fee equal to one percent
