However, (a) during the existence of any Event of Default, or (b) after the Maturity Date or earlier upon acceleration of the Loan, the principal amount of the Loan shall bear interest (“Default Interest”) at the Default Rate. With respect to any scheduled payments of principal and interest (excluding the payment due on the Maturity Date), Borrower will be entitled to a

grace period of five (5) days from such date before Default Interest is imposed by reason of such late payment; provided, however, such grace period will not be available more than once in any twelve (12) Loan Month period and if Borrower fails to make the required payment within said five (5) day period, Default Interest will be calculated from the original due date. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, the Default Interest shall commence, without notice, immediately upon and from the occurrence of (a) or (b) above, as the case may be, and shall continue until all Events of Default are cured and all sums then due and payable under the Loan Documents are paid in full; provided that in the event of any monetary Event of Default, Default Interest shall be calculated from the date the applicable Default actually occurred. Default Interest shall be payable upon demand, and, to the extent unpaid, shall be compounded monthly at the Default Rate.

(C)    Interest Laws. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall not be required to pay, and Lender shall not be permitted to collect, any amount of interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by law (“Excess Interest”). If any Excess Interest is provided for or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been provided for in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, then in such event: (1) the provisions of this Section shall govern and control; (2) Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any Excess Interest; (3) any Excess Interest that Lender may have received hereunder shall be, at Lender’s option, (a) applied as a credit against the outstanding principal balance of the Obligations due and owing to Lender (without any prepayment penalty or premium therefor) or for accrued and unpaid interest thereunder (not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by law), (b) refunded to the payor thereof, or (c) any combination of the foregoing; (4) the interest rate(s) provided for herein shall be automatically reduced to the maximum lawful rate allowed from time to time under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction; and (5) Borrower shall not have any action against Lender for any damages arising out of the payment or collection of any Excess Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any period of time interest on any Obligation due and owing to Lender is calculated at the Maximum Rate rather than the applicable rate under this Agreement, and thereafter such applicable rate becomes less than the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest payable on such Obligations due and owing to Lender shall, to the extent permitted by law, remain at the Maximum Rate until Lender shall have received or accrued the amount of interest which Lender would have received or accrued during such period on Obligations due and owing to Lender had the rate of interest not been limited to the Maximum Rate during such period. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the Obligations of Borrower to Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such Obligations until payment in full so that the actual rate of interest on account of such Obligations does not exceed the Maximum Rate throughout the term thereof, (ii) be characterized as a fee, expense or other charge other than interest, and/or (iii) exclude any voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof.

(D)    Late Charges. If any scheduled payment of principal and/or interest or other amount owing pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (excluding the payment due on the Maturity Date)

is not paid when due, Borrower shall pay to Lender, in addition to all sums otherwise due and payable, a late charge (“Late Charge”) in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the unpaid amount. With respect to regular monthly payments of principal and/or interest, Borrower will be entitled to a grace period of five (5) days (five (5) Business Days with respect to any non-scheduled payment due pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents) from the date due before a late charge is imposed by reason of such late payment; provided, however, such grace period will not be available more than once in any consecutive twelve (12) month period.

A certificate of Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(iii)    If, following an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Loan is tendered by Borrower or otherwise recovered by Lender, such tender or recovery shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower in violation of the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section 2.4(C)(i) and Borrower shall pay to Lender, in addition to the other Obligations, the Prepayment Premium. If the Maturity Date is accelerated, due to an Event of Default or otherwise, or if any prepayment of all or any portion of the Loan hereunder occurs, whether in connection with Lender’s acceleration of the Loan or otherwise, or if the Mortgage is satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of sale or judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means, then the Prepayment Premium shall become immediately due and owing and Borrower shall immediately pay the Prepayment Premium to Lender.

The balance on Lender’s books and records shall be presumptive evidence (absent manifest error) of the amounts due and owing to Lender by Borrower; provided that any failure to so record or any error in so recording shall not limit or otherwise affect Borrower’s obligation to pay the Obligations.

If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any such amounts from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Lender, then the sum payable hereunder shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions, Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made. In the event that, subsequent to the Closing Date, (1) any changes in any existing law, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or application thereof, (2) any new law, regulation, treaty or directive enacted or any

interpretation or application thereof, or (3) compliance by Lender with any new request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority, agency or instrumentality does or shall subject Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Loan, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Lender of principal, fees, interest or any other amount payable hereunder (except for income taxes, or franchise taxes imposed in lieu of income taxes, imposed generally by federal, state or local taxing authorities with respect to interest or commitment or other fees payable hereunder or changes in the rate of interest or tax on the overall income of Lender, taxes that are not directly attributable to the Loan and any “doing business” taxes, however denominated, charged by any state or other jurisdiction) and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making or continuing its Loan hereunder, as the case may be, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender, within thirty (30) days after its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender, on an after-tax basis, for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable, as determined by Lender with respect to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.6, it shall promptly notify Borrower of the event by reason of which Lender has become so entitled.

2.7    Application of Payments. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the last sentence of this Section 2.7, all payments made hereunder shall be applied first, to the payment of any Late Charges and other sums (other than principal and interest) due from Borrower to Lender under the Loan Documents, second, to any interest then due at the Default Rate, third to interest then due at the Base Rate, and last to the principal amount. Following and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all sums collected by Lender shall be applied in such order of priority to such items set forth below as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion: (i) to the costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and costs of appeal, incurred in the collection of any or all of the Loan due or the realization of any collateral securing any or all of the Loan; and (ii) to any or all unpaid amounts owing pursuant to the Loan Documents in any order of application as Lender, in its sole discretion, shall determine.

With respect to all UCC Collateral constituting a part of the Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, the Accounts, this Agreement shall constitute a “security agreement” within the meaning of, and shall create a security interest under, the UCC. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that Lender shall be permitted to file one or more financing statements naming Borrower as debtor and Lender as secured party identifying “the Accounts, the Contracts, the Reserve Accounts and other Reserve Account Collateral, the Equipment, Fixtures and Personalty, the General Intangibles, the Leases, the Inventory, the Management Agreements, the Rents and other Gross Revenues and the Proceeds” of Borrower in the collateral description thereon. As to the UCC Collateral, the grant, transfer, and assignment provisions of this Section 2.9 shall control over the grant provision of Section 2.1 of the Mortgage. Borrower represents and warrants that, except for any financing statement filed by Lender, no presently effective financing statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof has been filed with any filing officer, and no other security interest has attached to or has been perfected in the Collateral or any part thereof. Borrower shall from time to time within fifteen (15) days after request by Lender, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or authorize the filing of any financing statement, renewal, affidavit, certificate, continuation statement or other document as Lender may reasonably request in order to evidence, perfect, preserve, continue, extend or maintain this security agreement and the security interest created hereby as a first priority Lien on the UCC Collateral, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances.

2.10    Certain Secured Party Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall have all the remedies of a secured party under the UCC and all other rights and remedies now or hereafter provided or permitted by law, including, without limitation, the right to take immediate and exclusive possession of the UCC Collateral, or any part thereof, and for that purpose Lender may, as far as Borrower can give authority therefor, with or without judicial process, enter (if this can be done without breach of the peace) upon any premises on which any of the Collateral or any part thereof may be situated. Without limitation of the foregoing, Lender shall be entitled to hold, maintain, preserve and prepare all of the Collateral for sale and to dispose of said Collateral, if Lender so chooses, from the Mortgaged Property provided that Lender may require Borrower to assemble such UCC Collateral and make it available to Lender for disposition at a place to be designated by Lender from which the UCC Collateral would be sold or disposed of, and provided further that, for a reasonable period of time prior to the disposition of such UCC Collateral, Lender shall have the right to use same in the operation of the Mortgaged Property. Borrower will execute and deliver to Lender any and all forms, documents, certificates and registrations as may be necessary or appropriate to enable Lender to sell and deliver good and clear title to the UCC Collateral to the buyer at the sale as herein provided. Unless the UCC Collateral is of the type customarily sold on a recognized market, Lender will give Borrower at least ten (10) days’ written notice of the time and place of any public sale of such UCC Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition thereof is to be made. The requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is given to Borrower in writing at least ten (10) days before the time of the sale or disposition. Lender may buy at any public sale and, if the UCC Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is a type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations, it may buy at private sale. Unless Lender shall otherwise elect, any sale of the UCC Collateral shall be solely as a unit and not in separate lots or parcels, it being expressly agreed, however, that Lender shall have the absolute right to dispose of such UCC Collateral in separate lots or parcels. Lender shall further have the absolute right to elect to sell the UCC Collateral as a unit with, and not separately from, the Land and Improvements constituting a portion of the Mortgaged Property. The net proceeds realized upon any disposition of the UCC Collateral, after deduction for the expenses of retaining, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the like and the attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by Lender shall be applied towards satisfaction of such of the Obligations secured hereby, and in such order of application, as Lender may elect. If all of the Obligations are satisfied, Lender will account to Borrower for any surplus realized on such disposition.

Borrower has no knowledge of any material liability incurred by Borrower which remains unsatisfied for any taxes or penalties with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan or any Multiemployer Plan, or of any lien which has been imposed on Borrower’s assets pursuant to section 412 of the Code or section 302 or 4068 of ERISA. The Loan, the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement do not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA. Borrower is not a party to any collective bargaining or other employment agreement other than the agreements identified on Schedule 4.10.

4.11    Intellectual Property. Schedule 4.11 sets forth a true, correct and complete list of all of the patents, trademarks, tradenames, technology, other intellectual property rights and other Proprietary Rights owned by Borrower and used in connection with the ownership, operation and management of the Mortgaged Property. Borrower possesses, owns or has valid licenses, permits, certificates of public convenience, service marks, authorizations, licenses, patents, patent rights or licenses, trademarks, trademark rights, trade name rights, trade styles, trade dress, logos and other source or business affiliation identifiers, and copyrights, certificates, consents, orders, approvals and other authorizations from, and have made all declarations and filings with, all federal, state, local and other Governmental Authority, all self-regulatory organizations and all courts and other tribunals (collectively, together with the goodwill associated therewith, “Proprietary Rights”) presently required or necessary to own or lease, as the case may be, and to operate, the Mortgaged Property and to carry on its business as now conducted in accordance with the Approved Budget and Approved Capital Plan, except where the failure to obtain same would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower has fulfilled and performed all of its obligations with respect to such permits, and no event has occurred which allows, or after notice or lapse of time would allow, revocation or termination thereof or could result in any other material impairment of the rights of the holder of any such permit; and Borrower has not received any notice of any proceeding relating to unenforceability, invalidity, revocation or modification of any Proprietary Rights, except where such revocation, unenforceability, invalidity, or modification would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower has not received any notice that any Proprietary Rights have been declared unenforceable or otherwise invalid by any court or Governmental Authority other than notices relating to Proprietary Rights the loss of which would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower has not received any notice of infringement of, or conflict with, and Borrower does not know of any such infringement of or conflict with, asserted rights of others with respect to any Proprietary Rights which, if such assertion of infringement or conflict were sustained, would have a Material Adverse Effect.

Except as disclosed in the Environmental Reports, to Borrower’s knowledge, neither Borrower nor any other Person has caused or permitted any Hazardous Material to be used, generated, reclaimed, transported, released, treated, stored or disposed of in a manner which could form the basis for an Environmental Claim against Borrower.

After giving effect to the transactions occurring on the Closing Date, no Default or Event of Default exists. No material adverse change in the financial conditions or operation of the business of Borrower and Guarantor has occurred since the applicable dates of the financial statements of the applicable Person provided on or before the Closing Date.

The representations and warranties of Borrower and Guarantor contained in the Loan Documents, the financial statements referred to in Section 5.1(A), and any other documents, certificates or written statements furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower or Guarantor for use in connection with the Loan do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which the same were made. There is no material fact known to Borrower that has had or will have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been disclosed in this Agreement or in such other documents, certificates and statements furnished to Lender by or, on behalf of, Borrower for use in connection with the Loan.

4.16    Insurance. Schedule 4.16 sets forth a complete and accurate description of all policies of insurance that will be in effect as of the Closing Date for Borrower and such policies of insurance satisfy all of the requirements of Section 5.4.

4.17    Budget. The Approved Budget submitted to Lender for the Mortgaged Property is a true, correct and complete copy of the Budget and Capital Plan in effect on and as of the Closing Date. A true, correct and complete copy of the initial Approved Budget for the period ending December 31, 2004 is attached hereto as Schedule 4.17. The Approved Budget and all of the amounts set forth therein, present a true, full and complete line itemization (by category for the fiscal year to which such Annual Budget applies) of all reasonably estimated Gross Revenues and all reasonably estimated Expenses which Borrower expects to pay or anticipates becoming obligated to pay relating to the Mortgaged Property. No material capital expenditures with respect to the Mortgaged Property are being incurred, contemplated or are reasonably necessary, except as specified in the Approved Budget.

4.20    Special Assessments; Taxes. There are no pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower proposed, special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting the Mortgaged Property, nor, to Borrower’s knowledge, are there any contemplated improvements to the Mortgaged Property that may result in such special or other assessments. Borrower has provided Lender with true, correct and complete copies of all bills and invoices for Impositions which have been levied or assessed against or are outstanding with respect to the Mortgaged Property. Borrower has provided Lender with a true, correct and complete schedule of the assessment of the Mortgaged Property in effect as of the Closing Date.

Except for abatements pursuant to the Tax Abatement Agreements, no portion of the Mortgaged Property is exempt from taxation or constitutes an “omitted” tax parcel. No Impositions are currently delinquent or outstanding with respect to the Mortgaged Property. The conveyance of the Mortgaged Property to Borrower did not, in and of itself, constitute the basis for any reassessment of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property or the basis for any increase in any currently outstanding or previously satisfied Impositions which has not already been imposed and disclosed in writing to Lender by Borrower. No tax contests of any Impositions or assessments are currently pending. The Land and Improvements constitute a separate tax lot or lots, with a separate tax assessment or assessments, independent of any other land or improvements not constituting a part of the Mortgaged Property and no other land or improvements is assessed and taxed together with any portion of the Mortgaged Property.

4.22    Representations Remade. Borrower warrants and covenants that the foregoing representations and warranties will be true and shall be deemed remade as of the date of the Closing. All representations and warranties made in the other Loan Document or in any certificate or other document delivered to Lender by

All such representations and warranties shall survive the making of the Loan and shall continue in full force and effect until such time as the Loan has been paid in full.

Borrower covenants and agrees that so long as this Agreement shall remain in effect or the Note shall remain outstanding, Borrower shall perform and comply with all covenants in this Section 5.

Each Permitted Contest shall be prosecuted, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, with reasonable diligence, and Borrower shall promptly pay, or cause payment of, the amount of such Imposition or Claims as finally determined, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection with such Permitted Contest. Lender, in its sole discretion, may apply any amount or other security deposited with Lender under this subsection or otherwise to the payment of any unpaid Imposition or Claims to prevent the sale, loss or forfeiture of the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof. Lender shall not be liable for any failure to so apply any amount or other security deposited. Any surplus retained by Lender after payment of the Imposition or Claims for which a deposit was made shall be repaid to Borrower unless an Event of Default exists, in which case the surplus may be applied by Lender to the Obligations. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 5.3 to the contrary, Borrower shall promptly pay any Imposition or Claims which it might otherwise be entitled to contest if, in reasonable determination of Lender, the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof is in jeopardy or in danger of being forfeited or foreclosed. If Borrower refuses to pay any such Imposition or Claims, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) make such payment and Borrower shall reimburse Lender within five (5) Business Days of written notice by Lender for all such advances which advances will bear interest at the Default Rate.

(C)    Subject to Section 2.6, Borrower shall pay any and all taxes, charges, filing, registration and recording fees, excises and levies imposed upon Lender by reason of its interests in, or measured by amounts payable under, the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or any other Loan Document (other than income, franchise and doing business taxes), and shall pay all stamp taxes and other taxes required to be paid on the Note or any of the other Loan Documents. If Borrower fails to make such payment within five (5) days after notice thereof from Lender, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) pay the amount due, and Borrower shall reimburse Lender within five (5) Business Days of written notice by Lender for all such advances which will bear interest at the Default Rate. If applicable law prohibits Borrower from paying such taxes, charges, filing, registration and recording fees, excises, levies, stamp taxes or other taxes, then Lender may declare Borrower’s Obligations to be immediately due and payable, upon ninety (90) days’ prior written notice.

5.4    Insurance.

(A)    Borrower shall at all times provide, maintain and keep in force or cause to be provided, maintained and kept in force, at no expense to Lender, the following policies of insurance with respect to the Mortgaged Property and Borrower, as applicable:

(i)    Property insurance on an “all risk” and “special perils” basis (special form cause of loss) for one hundred percent (100%) of the replacement value of the Mortgaged Property with customary deductibles as approved by Lender. The policy should contain the following endorsements: (a) Replacement Cost (without any deduction made for depreciation), (b) Agreed Amount (waiving co‑insurance penalties), (c) Building Ordin-ance and Law coverage and (d) a standard mortgagee clause acceptable to Lender. Such policy will also include the following coverage: (i) comprehensive boiler and machinery coverage in amounts as reasonably determined by Lender; (ii) earthquake and earth movement coverage with a $2,500,000 limit; however if in Lender’s reasonable judgment, the risks associated with such coverage have increased whereby additional coverage would be maintained by a prudent operator of property similar in use and locale, in sufficient amount as reasonably determined by Lender; and (iii) flood insurance coverage with a $2,500,000 limit; however, if the Improvements are located in a special flood hazard area as designated by the Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, in sufficient amount as reasonably determined by Lender.

(ii)    Insurance against rent loss for not less than eighteen months gross rent or gross income from the Mortgaged Property including stabilized management fees and applicable reserve deposits plus debt service.

(v)    During the course of construction of Improvements, Borrower will obtain (1) commercial general liability insurance including contractual liability, in the amount of $1,000,000 primary and $10,000,000 excess liability in the aggregate (the policy shall provide coverage on an occurrence basis against claims for personal injury, bodily injury and death or property damage occurring on, in or about the Mortgaged Property and the adjoining streets, sidewalks and passageways). In addition, Borrower shall require all contractors and subcontractors, architects and engineers to provide appropriate insurance coverage); and (2) Builder’s risk completed value form insurance against “all risks” of physical loss, including collapse, water damage, flood, earthquake and transit coverage (coverage should be on a non-reporting form, covering the total value of work performed and equipment, supplies and materials furnished (with an appropriate limit for soft costs in the case of construction) with deductibles approved by Lender). Borrower agrees to consult with Lender prior to commencing the construction of any Improvements and to comply with all reasonable special insurance requirements of Lender pertaining to any construction.

(B)    No policies shall contain any exclusion for terrorism, terrorist activities or similar activities defined under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (“TRIA”) and will be endorsed to insure such risks. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should the cost of TRIA coverage and/or endorsements for the full replacement cost of the Mortgaged Property be greater than 10% of the premium for the applicable all risk property policy, then Borrower shall purchase the maximum terrorism insurance available for 10% of the then applicable all risk property insurance premium.

(C)    All insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement shall be endorsed to provide that: (i) Lender, its successors, and/or assigns, is named as mortgagee with respect to the all risk property; as a loss payee with respect to all rent loss coverage; as additional named insured on all liability coverage, with the understanding that any obligation imposed upon the insureds (including the liability to pay premiums) shall be the sole obligation of Borrower and not of any other insured; (ii) the interests of Lender shall not be invalidated by any action or inaction of Borrower or any other Person, and such policies shall insure Lender regardless of any breach or violation by Borrower or any other Person of any warranties, declaration or conditions in such policies; (iii) the insurer under each such policy shall waive all rights of subrogation against Lender, any right to set‑off and counterclaim and any other right to deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise; (iv) such insurance shall be primary and without right of contribution of any other insurance carried by or on behalf of Lender with respect to its interest in the Mortgaged Property; (v) if such insurance is canceled for any reason whatsoever, including nonpayment of premium or, if any substantial modification, change or reduction is made in the coverage which affects the interests of Lender, such cancellation, modification, change or reduction in coverage shall not be effective as to Lender until thirty (30) days after receipt by Lender of written notice sent by registered mail from such insurer; (vi) any such insurance shall be endorsed to provide in as much as the policy is written to cover more than one insured, all terms, conditions, insuring agreements and endorsements with the exception of limits of liability, shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each insured; and (vii) if required by Lender, such insurance shall contain “cut‑through” endorsements providing Lender with direct access to any re‑insurers.

(D)    Borrower shall deliver to Lender a copy of each insurance policy with further evidence of such insurance acceptable to Lender, together with a copy of the declaration page for each such policy. Renewal certificates should be provided no later than five (5) days prior to the expiration of each policy. Upon request of Lender, Borrower shall deliver a renewed policy or policies, or duplicate original or originals thereof, marked “premium paid,” or accompanied by such other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender with standard non-contributory mortgagee clause in favor of and acceptable to Lender. Borrower shall comply promptly with and conform to (i) all provisions of each such insurance policy and (ii) all requirements of the insurers applicable to Borrower as respects use, occupancy, possession, operation, maintenance, alteration or repair of the Mortgaged Property. Borrower shall not use or permit the use of the Mortgaged Property in any manner that would permit any insurer to cancel any insurance policy or void coverage required to be maintained by this Agreement. No insurance policy may provide for assessments to be made against Lender or Lender’s servicer, if any. The insurance coverage required under this Section 5.4 may be effected under a blanket policy or policies covering the Mortgaged Property and other properties and assets not constituting a part of the Mortgaged Property; provided that any such blanket policy shall specify the portion of the total coverage of such policy that is allocated to the Mortgaged Property, and any sublimits in such blanket policy applicable to the Mortgaged Property, which amounts shall not be less than the amounts required pursuant to this Section 5.4 and which shall in any case comply in all other respects with all of the requirements of this Section 5.4. Borrower shall comply with all insurance requirements and shall not bring or keep or permit to be brought or kept any article upon the Mortgaged Property or cause or permit any condition to exist thereon which would be prohibited by any insurance requirement, or would invalidate insurance coverage required hereunder to be maintained by Borrower on or with respect to any part of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to this Section 5.4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is expressly

understood and agreed that any insurance which Borrower shall cause any tenant to provide that shall otherwise be in compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this Section 5.4 shall satisfy Borrower’s obligations with respect thereto hereunder. Borrower shall cause each tenant to provide business interruption, products/completed operations and workers compensation coverage in amounts reasonably acceptable to Borrower to insure risks of each tenant’s business. Borrower will not take out separate insurance contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained pursuant to this Section 5.4 unless such insurance complies with this Section 5.4. All insurance policies shall be in form, with endorsements, risk coverage, deductibles and amounts and maintained with companies approved by Lender, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Without limiting Lender’s ability to approve the aforementioned, an insurance company shall not be reasonably satisfactory unless such insurance company (a) has a rating of a least A with financial size of Class X or better as specified in Best’s Key Rating Guide, (b) is licensed or authorized to do business, as required under applicable law, in the State where the Mortgaged Property is located and (c) a claims-paying ability rating by S&P of not less than “A” and an equivalent rating by another Rating Agency. All insurance policies insuring against casualty, rent loss and other appropriate policies shall provide that no claims be paid thereunder without twenty (20) days’ advance written notice to Lender. Such notice may be given by Borrower. Lender shall not, by the fact of approving, disapproving, accepting, preventing, obtaining or failing to obtain any insurance, incur any liability for or with respect to the amount of insurance carried, the form or legal sufficiency of insurance contracts, solvency of insurance companies, or payment or defense of lawsuits, and Borrower hereby expressly assumes full responsibility therefore and all liability, if any, with respect thereto. If Borrower fails to provide to Lender the policies of insurance required by this Section 5.4 or any other Loan Documents, Lender may (but shall have no obligation to) procure such insurance or single-interest insurance for such risks covering Lender’s interest and Borrower will pay all premiums thereon within five (5) Business Days of written notice by Lender, and until such payment is made by Borrower, the amount of all such premiums shall bear interest at the Default Rate and shall constitute additions to the Obligations.

5.5    Tax Reserve and Insurance Reserve. Borrower shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) with Lender (or such agent of Lender as Lender may designate in writing to Borrower from time to time), monthly, on each Payment Date, 1/12th of the annual charges (as estimated by Lender) for all Impositions relating to the Mortgaged Property and all insurance premiums with respect to the insurance required pursuant to Section 5.4(A)(i)‑(iv). Borrower shall also deposit with Lender, simultaneously with such monthly deposits and/or on the Closing Date, a sum of money which, together with such monthly deposits, will be sufficient to make the payment of each such charge at least thirty (30) days prior to the date finally delinquent. Should such charges not be ascertainable at the time any deposit is required to be made, the deposit shall be made on the basis of Lender’s reasonable estimate. When the charges are fixed for the then current year or period, Borrower shall deposit any deficiency within fifteen (15) days following Lender’s written demand. Should an Event of Default occur and be continuing, the funds so deposited may be applied in payment of the charges for which such funds shall have been deposited or to the payment of the Obligations or any other charges affecting the Mortgaged Property as Lender in its sole and absolute discretion may determine, but no such application shall be deemed to have been made by operation of law or otherwise until actually made by Lender as herein provided. Borrower shall provide Lender with bills and all other documents necessary for the payment of the foregoing charges at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which each payment thereof shall first become delinquent. So long as (i) no Event of Default exists, (ii) Borrower has provided Lender with the foregoing bills and other documents in a timely manner, and (iii) sufficient funds are held by Lender for the payment of the Impositions and insurance premiums relating to the Mortgaged Property, as applicable, Lender shall pay said items or allow such funds to be used to pay said items or to reimburse Borrower for such items upon Lender’s receipt of reasonable evidence documenting Borrower’s payment of such items. All refunds of Impositions and insurance premiums shall be deposited into the applicable of the Tax Reserve Account or the Insurance Reserve Account.

5.6    Maintenance of Mortgaged Property. Borrower will maintain or cause the Mortgaged Property to be maintained in compliance with all Legal Requirements and in good repair, working order and condition and will make or cause to be made all appropriate repairs, renewals and replacements thereof. Without regard as to whether Proceeds are made available to Borrower for such purposes, Borrower will promptly restore and repair all loss or damage occasioned by (i) any casualty which has occurred to at least the condition existing prior to any such casualty or (ii) any condemnation to an economically and structurally integrated unit. Borrower will prevent any act or thing which might materially impair the value or usefulness of the Mortgaged Property. Borrower will not commit or permit any waste of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof.

5.7    Inspection; Lender Meeting. Borrower shall, upon request from Lender, permit (and cause to be permitted) Lender’s designated representatives to (a) visit, examine, audit, and inspect the Mortgaged Property, (b) examine, audit, inspect, copy, duplicate and abstract Borrower’s financial, accounting and other books and records, and (c) discuss Borrower’s and the Mortgaged Property’s affairs, finances and business with Borrower Representative’s officers, representatives, independent public accountants and agents (including the Manager). Lender acknowledges and agrees that any inspection or entry to the Mortgaged Property by Lender or Lender’s designated representatives shall be conducted (i) during Borrower’s normal business hours, (ii) in accordance with Borrower’s safety and security procedures then applicable to the Mortgaged Property in general and to the Secure Areas in particular that are, in each instance, in effect from time to time, (iii) at Borrower’s option, accompanied by an employee or representative of Borrower and/or Guarantor, (iv) in accordance with the confidentiality requirements of Section 11.12 and (v) in such a manner so as to minimize any disruption or interference with Borrower’s use or operation of the Mortgaged Property. Borrower shall cause its books and records to be maintained at Borrower’s principal offices located at c/o Lexicon Genetics Incorporated, 8800 Technology Forest Place, The Woodlands, Texas 77381‑1160. Borrower will not change its principal offices or the location where its books and records are kept without giving at least thirty (30) days’ advance notice to Lender. Borrower shall pay Lender’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with such audit if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or if any audit reveals any material discrepancy, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, in the financial information provided by Borrower. All audits, inspections and reports shall be made for the sole benefit of Lender. Neither Lender nor Lender’s auditors, inspectors, representatives, agents or contractors assumes any responsibility or liability (except to Lender) by reason of such audits, inspections or reports. Borrower will not rely upon any of such audits, inspections or reports. The performance of such audits, inspections and reports will not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of the Loan Documents. Neither Lender nor any other of Lender’s inspectors, representatives, agents or contractors, shall be responsible for any matters related to design or construction of the Improvements or any Construction. Borrower shall cooperate, from time to time, with Lender and use reasonable efforts to assist Lender in obtaining an appraisal of the Mortgaged Property. Such cooperation and assistance from Borrower shall include reasonable access to the Mortgaged Property and books and records pertaining to the Mortgaged Property for Lender and its appraiser. The appraiser performing any such appraisal shall be engaged by Lender. Borrower shall not be responsible for the expenses of any such appraisal, provided, however, Borrower shall pay the fees of such appraiser in connection with one appraisal of the Mortgaged Property during the term of the Loan and any such appraisal when conducted following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default. Borrower shall cooperate with Lender with respect to any proceedings before any Governmental Authority which may in any way affect the rights of Lender under any of the Loan Documents and, in connection therewith, not prohibit Lender, at its election, from participating in any such proceedings.

5.8    Environmental Compliance. Borrower shall: (a)  comply (or cause compliance) at all times with all applicable Environmental Laws, and (b) promptly take, or cause to be taken, any and all necessary remedial actions upon obtaining knowledge of the presence, storage, use, disposal, transportation, release or discharge

of any Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Mortgaged Property which has a Material Adverse Effect or is in violation of any Environmental Laws. Borrower shall cause all remedial action with respect to Hazardous Material on, under or about the Mortgaged Property, to comply with all applicable Environmental Laws and the applicable policies, orders and directives of all federal, state and local Governmental Authorities. If Lender at any time has a reasonable basis to believe that there may be a violation of any Environmental Law by, or any liability arising thereunder of, Borrower or related to the Mortgaged Property, Borrower shall, upon request from Lender, provide Lender with such reports, certificates, engineering studies and other written material or data as Lender may reasonably require to confirm compliance by Borrower and the Mortgaged Property with all applicable Environmental Laws. Borrower shall permit Lender, its authorized representatives, consultants or other Persons retained by Lender to enter upon, examine, test and inspect the Mortgaged Property with regard to compliance with Environmental Laws, the presence of Hazardous Materials and the environmental condition of the Mortgaged Property and properties adjacent to the Land. Such entry, examination, testing and inspecting and reporting shall be at the expense of Borrower if (x) an Event of Default has occurred or (y) Lender has reasonably determined that there may be a violation of Environmental Law or any liability arising under Environmental Law, which expense shall be paid by Borrower to Lender within five (5) Business Days of written notice by Lender.

5.9    Environmental Disclosure. Borrower shall immediately upon becoming aware thereof advise Lender in writing and in reasonable detail of: (1) any release, disposal or discharge of any Hazardous Material at the Mortgaged Property required to be reported to any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory agency under all applicable Environmental Laws; (2) any and all written communications sent or received by Borrower or its agents with respect to any Environmental Claims or any release, disposal or discharge of Hazardous Material required to be reported to any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory agency; (3) any remedial action taken by Borrower or any other Person in response to any Hazardous Material on, under or about any real property owned, leased or operated by Borrower or the Mortgaged Property or its agents, the existence of which could result in an Environmental Claim; (4) the discovery by Borrower or its agents of any occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the Mortgaged Property that could cause such real property or any part thereof to be classified as “border-zone property” or to be otherwise subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, transferability or use thereof under any Environmental Laws; and (5) any request for information from any Governmental Authority that indicates such Governmental Authority is investigating whether Borrower or another present or former occupant of the Mortgaged Property may be potentially responsible for a release, disposal or discharge of Hazardous Materials from any of the Mortgaged Property. Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of any proposed action to be taken by Borrower to commence any operations that could reasonably be expected to subject Borrower to additional laws, rules or regulations, including laws, rules and regulations requiring additional or amended environmental permits or licenses. Borrower shall, at its own expense, provide copies of such documents or information as Lender may reasonably request in relation to any matters disclosed pursuant to this Section 5.9.

5.10    Compliance with Laws, Employee Benefit Plans and Contractual Obligations. Borrower will promptly and faithfully (A) comply and cause the Mortgaged Property to comply, in all material respects, with the requirements of all Legal Requirements and the orders and requirements of any Governmental Authority in all jurisdictions in which it is now doing business or may hereafter be doing business and of every board of fire underwriters or similar body exercising similar functions, (B) maintain all licenses, certificates of occupancy, permits and Proprietary Rights now held or hereafter acquired by it or with respect to which a Material Adverse Effect will result if same are not existing and held by Borrower and (C) perform, observe, comply and fulfill all of its obligations, covenants and conditions contained in the Loan Documents and the Material Contracts.

Contract; (ii) not terminate, or permit termination of, any Material Contract, and (iii) not enter into, amend or modify any Material Contract without first obtaining the prior written approval of Lender. Except for the plans described in Schedule 4.10, Borrower is not a party to, and will not establish, any Employee Benefit Plan. Except for the plans described in Schedule 4.10, Borrower will not commence making contributions to (or obligate itself to make contributions to) any Employee Benefit Plan.

5.11    Further Assurances. Borrower shall, from time to time, at its sole cost and expense, execute and/or deliver, or cause execution and/or delivery of, such documents, agreements and reports, and perform such acts as Lender at any time may reasonably request to carry out the purposes and otherwise implement the terms and provisions provided for in the Loan Documents. Borrower shall execute any documents and take any other actions necessary to provide Lender with a first priority, perfected security interest in the Reserves and the other Collateral.

In the event Borrower enters into a Management Agreement subsequent to the date hereof, the Manager and such Management Agreement must contain subordination and termination provisions and must be otherwise satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall not enter into any management agreement or arrangement with any Person with respect to the management of the Mortgaged Property without Lender’s prior written consent. Borrower shall cause management subordination agreements in form and substance satisfactory to Lender to be executed by the Manager. Borrower shall not modify, amend or terminate any approved management agreement without Lender’s prior written consent.

Borrower shall provide Lender with written notice of the occurrence of any event of default or condition which with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute an event of default under any Management Agreement or which would entitle the Manager to terminate the Management Agreement.

If a Manager is terminated pursuant hereto, Borrower shall immediately seek to appoint a replacement manager which is a Qualified Manager, and Borrower’s failure to appoint an acceptable Manager within thirty (30) days after Lender’s request of such Borrower to terminate the Management Agreement shall constitute an immediate Event of Default.

Without limitation of Lender’s rights and Borrower’s Obliga-tions set forth elsewhere in the Loan Documents, Borrower shall: (1) cause the Restoration and all other Construction to proceed with reasonable diligence and continuously, with sufficient workers employed and sufficient materials supplied for that purpose so that the applicable Construction is substantially completed by the applicable Required Completion Date, or, if no Required Completion Date is applicable, as promptly as reasonably practicable or, in the case of Restoration, the Restoration is Substantially Completed prior to the Required Restoration Date; (2) cause all Construction to be performed in accordance with the applicable Plans and Specifications or plans and specifications for the work in question, in substantial conformity with the Legal Requirements, the requirements of all insurers and fire underwriters, and with the requirements set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, in compliance with the Material Contracts and in a good, safe and workmanlike manner; (3) cause all materials acquired or furnished in connection with the Construction and Restoration to be new and stored under adequate safeguards to minimize the possibility of loss, theft, damage or commingling with other materials or projects; (4) utilize, or permit utilization of, only contractors approved by Lender (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); (5) not permit the revision of Plans and Specifications without consent of Lender (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); and (6) from time to time upon the reasonable request of Lender deliver to Lender such certificates and other documentation confirming the matters set forth in the preceding clauses (1) through (5). Promptly upon the giving or receipt of such notice, Borrower shall forward to Lender copies of all material written notices given or received by, or on behalf of, Borrower with respect to the Construction to or from: (x) Contractor or any subcontractor or material supplier, or any of the design professionals (including notices relating to any nonconforming construction, any refusal or inability to pay or perform pursuant to the terms of any contract or other agreement or any delay, default or change order) or (y) any claim of default, or relating to any work stoppage, notice of violation or cease and desist order, stop order, construction liens, strike, claim, litigation, damage, loss or any other materially adverse condition, circumstance or event.

Funds in the Borrower Account shall (a) be used only to pay Expenses related to the Mortgaged Property prior to any distributions by Borrower and (b) not be disbursed in violation of any provision of this Agreement.

6.5    Creation of Security Interest in Accounts.

This Agreement and the pledge, assignment and grant of security interest made hereby secures payment of all Obligations in accordance with the provisions set forth herein. This Agreement shall be deemed a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code.

6.6    Certain Matters Regarding Lender following an Event of Default. Borrower agrees that the Bank shall pay over to Lender all amounts deposited in the Reserve Accounts on demand, without notice to Borrower, if, in making such demand, Lender shall give notice, in writing, signed by Lender or an authorized agent thereof, that an Event of Default exists. Lender may exercise in respect of the Reserve Account Collateral all rights and remedies available to Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, or otherwise available at law or in equity. If an Event of Default exists, Lender may exercise in respect of the Reserve Account Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code then in effect in the applicable jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agree(s) that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it will have no further right to request or otherwise require Lender to disburse funds from any Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, it being agreed that Lender may, at its option, (i) direct the Bank to continue to hold the funds in the Reserve Accounts, (ii) continue, from time to time, to apply all or any portion of the funds held in the Reserve Accounts to any payment(s) which such funds could have been applied to prior to such Event of Default (or to pay Expenses directly), to the extent and in such order and manner as Lender in its sole discretion may determine, and/or (iii) direct the Bank to disburse all or any portion of the funds held in the Reserve Accounts or other Reserve Account Collateral then or thereafter held by the Bank to Lender, in which event Lender may apply the funds held in the Reserve Accounts or other Reserve Account Collateral to the Obligations, in any order and in such manner as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. If an Event of Default exists, Lender may, at any time or from time to time: (1) collect, appropriate, redeem, realize upon or otherwise enforce its rights with respect to the Reserve Account Collateral, or any part thereof, without notice to any Borrower and without the need to institute any legal action, make demand to or upon any Borrower or any other Person, exhaust any other remedies or otherwise proceed to enforce its rights; (2) execute (in the name, place and stead of Borrower) any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance which may be required for the withdrawal and negotiation of the Reserve Account Collateral; and/or (3) exercise all other rights and remedies available to Lender hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein: (w) Borrower shall remain liable under the Loan Documents to the extent set forth herein and therein to perform all of its respective obligations thereunder, to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed; (x) the exercise by Lender of any of its rights hereunder shall not release Borrower from its obligations under any of the Loan

Documents, nor shall it constitute an election of remedies by Lender or a waiver by Lender of any of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents; (y) except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, Lender shall not have any obligation or liability by reason of this Agreement, nor shall Lender be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of Borrower hereunder or to take any action, in each case, to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder; and (z) Lender shall not have to resort to using the Reserve Account Collateral before making demand upon or bringing an action against Borrower under any Loan Document under any guaranty given in connection with the Loan. No failure on the part of Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The remedies provided in this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided at law or in equity.

6.7    Representations and Warranties Regarding Reserve Account Collateral. In addition to any representations or warranties contained in this Agreement, Borrower represents and warrants as follows: (a) Borrower is the legal and beneficial owner of the Reserve Account Collateral, respectively, free and clear of any Liens, except for the Liens in favor of Lender created by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (b) upon execution by Borrower of this Agreement, the pledge and assignment of the Reserve Account Collateral pursuant to this Agreement will create a valid, first priority security interest in the such Reserve Account Collateral, securing the payment and performance of the Obligations; and (c) Borrower is not a party to any credit agreement or other borrowing facility including, but not limited to, a line of credit or overdraft line, with the Bank.

6.8    Covenants Regarding Reserve Account Collateral. Borrower will not, without the prior consent of Lender, (a) sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise), pledge, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Gross Revenues or any interest in the Reserve Account Collateral or (b) create or permit to exist any assignment, lien, security interest, option or other charge or encumbrance upon or with respect to any Gross Revenues or any Reserve Account Collateral, except for the Liens in favor of Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Borrower will give Lender not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any change in the address of its chief executive office or its principal office. Borrower agrees that all records of Borrower with respect to the Reserve Account Collateral will be kept at Borrower’s principal office and will not be removed from such addresses without the prior written consent of Lender. Borrower will not make or consent to any amendment or other modification or waiver with respect to any Reserve Account Collateral, or enter into any agreement, or permit to exist any restriction, with respect to any Reserve Account Collateral. Borrower will, at its expense, defend Lender’s right, title and security interest in and to the Reserve Account Collateral against the claims of any Person. Borrower will not take any action which would in any manner impair the enforceability of this Agreement or the security interests created hereby. Borrower will not enter into any credit agreement or other borrowing facility including a line of credit or overdraft line, with Bank. Nothing contained in this Section 6 shall impair or otherwise limit Borrower’s obligations to timely make the payments (including interest and principal) required by the Note and the other Loan Documents, it being understood that such payments shall be so timely made in accordance with the Loan Documents, regardless of the amounts on deposit in any Account. Lender may, from time to time, at its sole option, perform any act which Borrower agrees hereunder to perform which Borrower shall fail to perform after being requested in writing to so perform and Lender may from time to time take any other action which Lender deems necessary for the maintenance, preservation or protection of any of the rights granted to Lender hereunder. With respect to the powers conferred on Lender hereunder, Lender shall not have any duty as to the Accounts or the other Reserve Account Collateral, or any responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to any matters relative to the Accounts or the other Reserve Account Collateral, whether or not Lender has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters or (ii) taking

any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to the Accounts or the other Reserve Account Collateral.

Borrower shall have the right to contest any such Lien securing Claims in accordance with Section 5.3(B), except by their own terms or in accordance with a specific termination right granted thereunder.

Neither Borrower nor Borrower Representative will issue, sell, assign, pledge, convey, dispose or otherwise encumber any partnership, stock, membership, beneficial or other ownership interests or grant any options, warrants, purchase rights or other similar agreements or understandings with respect thereto. Borrower will not establish any Subsidiaries. Borrower will not make any Investments in any other Person.

7.5    Restriction on Leases. Except for the Guarantor Lease and as set forth below, Borrower shall not hereafter enter into any Lease or other rental or occupancy arrangement or concession agreement with respect to the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof or otherwise permit any occupancy of the Mortgaged Property other than by Guarantor. Borrower shall not modify, amend or terminate any Lease, give any consents, waive any obligations under any leases or release any tenant of any Lease, without, in each instance, Lender’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Borrower shall perform and comply, in all material respects, with all of the landlord’s obligations under each Lease and shall not suffer or permit any material breach or default on the part of the landlord to occur thereunder. In addition to the Guarantor Lease, Guarantor shall have the right to enter into subleases with third parties for occupancy of the Improvements without Lender’s consent, provided that (i) any such sublease shall be subject and subordinate to the Liens in favor of Lender under this Agreement and (ii) all subleases, in the aggregate, shall

be for (1) less than 50% of the leasable space of any single building and (2) less than 30% of the aggregate leasable improved space for the Mortgaged Property. Borrower shall provide Lender with written notice of any such permitted sublease prior to Guarantor entering into any such sublease. In no event will Borrower enter into any Capital Leases.

7.6    Transactions with Affiliates. Except for the Guarantor Lease, Borrower shall not directly or indirectly enter into or permit to exist any transaction (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with any director, officer, employee or Affiliate of Borrower, Borrower Representative or Guarantor, except transactions in the ordinary course of and pursuant to the reasonable requirements of the business of Borrower and upon fair and reasonable terms which are fully disclosed to Lender and are no less favorable to Borrower than would be obtained in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate, director, officer or employee of Borrower. Each such agreement with any Affiliate, director, officer or employee of Borrower shall provide that the same may be terminated by Lender at its option if an Event of Default exists. Other than pursuant to the Management Agreement approved by Lender, Borrower shall not pay any management, consulting, director or similar fees to any director, officer, employee or Affiliate of Borrower or Guarantor.

7.7    Management Fees and Compensation; Contracts. Borrower will not enter into or become obligated under any management (property and asset), brokerage or other such similar agreement, whether with an Affiliate or any other Person, with respect to the Mortgaged Property, without Lender’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and unless the same may be terminated, without cause and without payment of a penalty or fee, on not more than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice. In no event will Borrower pay a management fee in excess of the then prevailing market rates.

7.8    Conduct of Business. From and after the Closing Date, Borrower will not engage in any business other than the ownership and operation of the Mortgaged Property. Borrower shall not use the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, or allow the same to be used or occupied, for any purpose other than for the purposes of an office, laboratory, vivarium or other facility for similar use and related amenities, or for any unlawful purpose, or in violation of any Legal Requirement. Borrower will not suffer any act to be done or any condition to exist on the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or any article to be brought thereon, which may be dangerous (unless safeguarded as required by Legal Requirement) or which may constitute a nuisance, public or private, or which may void or make voidable any insurance then in force with respect thereto. No tract map, parcel map, condominium plan, condominium declaration, or plat of subdivision (or analogous document) will be recorded with respect to the Mortgaged Property without Lender’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Mortgaged Property shall not be converted to the condominium or “cooperative” form of ownership. Borrower will not initiate or consent to any change in the zoning of the Mortgaged Property. Borrower shall at all times maintain good and indefeasible fee title to the Mortgaged Property free and clear of any encumbrances other than the Liens in favor of Lender under the Loan Documents and the Permitted Encumbrances. Borrower shall not change its fiscal year without giving advance notice thereof to Lender.

7.9    Use of Lender’s Name. Borrower shall not use the names of Lender or any of Lender’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates in connection with the development, marketing, leasing, use and operation of the Mortgaged Property. Borrower shall not disclose or permit any Subsidiary of Guarantor or Borrower, or any officer, director, partner, manager, member or employee of Borrower to disclose any of the terms and conditions of the Loan to any Person except (a) to the extent disclosed in the Mortgage and the Financing Statements, (b) to the extent such disclosure is required pursuant to the Loan Documents or applicable legal process, (c) to the extent, and only to the extent, such disclosure is required pursuant to Guarantor’s reporting requirements

under the Exchange Act, (d) to the extent the content of such disclosure is already generally available to the public, or (e) to the extent Lender consents to such disclosure.

7.10    Compliance with ERISA. Borrower shall not adopt, modify or terminate any Employee Benefit Plans except as described in Schedule 4.10. Borrower shall not fail to maintain and operate each existing Employee Benefit Plan in compliance in all material respects with the provisions of ERISA, the Code and all other applicable laws and the regulations and interpretations thereof. Borrower shall not engage in any transaction which would cause the Obligations or any action taken or to be taken under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or otherwise (or the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA. Borrower shall not become an “employee benefit plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA) to which ERISA applies and Borrower shall not permit its assets to be plan assets.

7.11    Due on Sale or Encumbrance. Without Lender’s consent, which consent may be given or withheld in the sole discretion of Lender, neither Borrower nor any other Person directly or indirectly holding any direct or indirect legal, beneficial, equitable or other interest in Borrower (at each and every tier or level of ownership) shall, or permit other Persons to, Transfer (whether or not for consideration or of record) all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property or any direct or indirect legal, equitable, beneficial or other interest (1) in all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property; (2) in Borrower; or (3) at each and every tier or level of ownership, in Borrower’s direct or indirect partners, members, shareholders, beneficial or constituent owners including Guarantor, Borrower Representative, any owners of Borrower Representative (or the direct or indirect owners of any direct or indirect interests in any such constituent owners), including (a) an installment sales agreement for a price to be paid in installments; (b) except as otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 7.5, any Leases or a sale, assignment or other transfer of, or the grant of a security interest in, Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to any Leases or any Rents; (c) any direct or indirect voluntary or involuntary sale of any ownership interest in Borrower or other Person directly or indirectly owning any direct or indirect interest in Borrower; (d) the creation, issuance or redemption of direct or indirect ownership interests by Borrower or any Person owning a direct or indirect interest in Borrower (at each every tier or level of ownership); (e) any merger, consolidation, dissolution or liquidation; and (f) without limitation of any of the foregoing, any direct or indirect voluntary or involuntary Transfer by any Person which indirectly controls Borrower (by operation of law or otherwise) of its direct or indirect controlling interests in Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall not be deemed to be prohibited under this Section 7.11: (i) a Transfer of an indirect ownership interest in Borrower, by the current owner thereof to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Guarantor and (ii) Transfers of ownership interests in a Person whose stock is publicly traded, so long as (x) no such transfers described in parts (i) and (ii) of this sentence result in any Person or Group acquiring, directly or indirectly, more than a forty-nine percent (49%) direct or indirect interest in Borrower (if such Person or Group did not prior to the Transfer, own at least forty-nine percent (49%) of the direct or indirect ownership interests in Borrower), unless such Person or Group acquiring, directly or indirectly, more than a forty-nine percent (49%) direct or indirect interest in Borrower has a Credit Rating of “Baa2” or higher from Moody’s or “BBB” or higher from S&P, or, as applicable, an equivalent rating from another Rating Agency, or, if such Person or Group is not rated by a Rating Agency, has (A) a Net Worth of $1,000,000,000 or more, (B) an EBITDA Interest Coverage of 6.0 or greater and (C) a Total Debt/Capitalization no greater than 40%, and (y) no Change in Control occurs by virtue of such Transfers (other than pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of “Change of Control”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may sell Inventory in the ordinary course of business and transfer or dispose of tangible personal property to Persons that are not Borrower’s Affiliates, which tangible personal property is immediately replaced by an article of equivalent suitability and value or which is no longer necessary in connection with the operation of the Mortgaged Property provided that such transfer or disposal will (i) not have a Material Adverse Effect; (ii) not materially impair the utility of the Mortgaged Property, and (iii) not result in a reduction or abatement of, or right of

offset against, the Gross Revenues payable under any Lease or otherwise, and provided that any tangible personal property acquired by Borrower (and not so disposed of) shall be subject to the Lien of the Mortgage. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has examined and relied on the experience of Borrower and Guarantor in owning and operating properties such as the Mortgaged Property in agreeing to make the Loan and will continue to rely on such ownership of the Mortgaged Property and Borrower and Guarantor as a means of maintaining the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for repayment of the Loan and the performance of the other Obligations. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Mortgaged Property so as to ensure that, should Borrower default in the repayment of the Loan or the performance of the other Obligations, Lender can recover the Loan by a sale of the Mortgaged Property. Lender shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in order to declare the Loan immediately due and payable upon any Default under this Section 7.11.

7.12    Payments; Distributions. Except for payments of management fees otherwise permitted to be paid to Manager under this Agreement pursuant to a Management Agreement approved by Lender at a time when no Event of Default exists, Borrower shall not pay any distributions, dividends or other payments or return any capital to any of its respective partners, members, owners or shareholders or any other Affiliate or make any distribution of assets, rights, options, obligations or securities to any of its respective partners, members, shareholders or owners or any other Affiliate (individually, or collectively, a “Distribution”) unless (a) on the date of the proposed Distribution, and after giving effect to the subsequent Distribution, no Default or Event of Default exists; (b) funds are not then required to be deposited into any Reserves; (c) Borrower is not “insolvent” (as defined in the Bankruptcy Code) and will not be rendered insolvent by virtue of such Distribution; (d) Borrower shall deliver, at least ten (10) days in advance of the proposed Distribution, to Lender, an Officer’s Certificate executed by the chief financial officer or similar officer of Borrower, stating that the foregoing conditions (a), (b) and (c) have been satisfied.

7.13    Single Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entities. Borrower hereby represents, warrants, agrees and covenants that Borrower and Borrower Representative have, at all times, from their formation, been, and, at all times will be, a Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity. Neither Borrower nor Borrower Representative will, directly or indirectly, make any change, amendment or modification to its Organizational Documents or otherwise take any action which could result in Borrower or Borrower Representative not being a Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity.

7.14    Alterations. Borrower shall not alter, remove or demolish or permit the alteration, removal or demolition of, any Improvement except as the same may be necessary in connection with (i) a Restoration in connection with a taking or casualty in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement, (ii) Required Capital Improvements in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement and (iii) other Alterations permitted in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 7.14. If no Event of Default exists, Borrower may undertake any alteration, improvement, demolition or removal of Improvements or any portion thereof (any such alteration, improvement, demolition or removal, an “Alteration”) so long as (1) Borrower provides Lender with at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice of any such Alteration, (2) such Alteration is undertaken in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, is not prohibited by, and is in full compliance with, and does not violate, any Material Contracts or Legal Requirements and does not, during Construction and upon completion, have a Material Adverse Effect, (3) Borrower provides Lender with evidence, satisfactory to Lender, that Borrower has sufficient funds to complete and pay all of the costs of the Alterations, (4) such Alteration does not eliminate or materially modify any amenity (e.g., health club) available to tenants and their employees or customers, (5) such Alteration is in the nature of (x) Required Capital Improvements permitted under this Agreement, (y) a Restoration required or permitted under the Agreement or (z) if not in the nature of the Alterations contemplated by (x) or (y), such Alteration

has been consented to by Lender (such consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed in the case of Alterations the cost of which, as estimated by Lender, does not exceed $50,000) and (6) prior to commencement and from time to time upon request from Lender, Borrower delivers an Officer’s Certificate certifying that conditions (1)-(5), inclusive, have been satisfied. Any Alteration shall, unless Lender otherwise approves or the Agreement otherwise provides, be conducted under the supervision of an independent architect approved by Lender (an “Independent Architect”). No Alteration shall be undertaken until Lender has approved plans and specifications and cost estimates for the Alterations, prepared by such Independent Architect or another Person approved by Lender, such approvals not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 7.14 to the contrary, Borrower shall have the right to make non-structural Alterations to the Improvements, the cost of which does not exceed $500,000 per Alteration, without Lender’s consent and without complying with clauses (3)-(5) set forth above; provided, however, that Borrower shall provide Lender with prior written notice at least ten (10) days prior to commencing such Alteration and prior to commencing any permitted Alteration, Borrower shall have delivered to Lender a copy of the proposed plans and specifications for such Alteration.

8.1    Restoration Following Casualty or Condemnation. After the happening of any casualty or condemnation to the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, Borrower shall give prompt notice thereof to Lender.

(a)    In the event of any damage or destruction of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, all Proceeds shall be payable to Lender. Borrower hereby authorizes and directs any affected insurance company or condemning Governmental Authority or other Persons to make payment of such proceeds directly to Lender. Borrower shall obtain Lender’s approval prior to any settlement, adjustment or compromise of any claims for loss, damage or destruction under any policy or policies of insurance or with respect to any condemnation, and Lender shall have the right to participate with Borrower in negotiation of any such settlement, adjustment or compromise provided, however, Borrower shall be permitted, so long as no Event of Default exists, to settle insurance claims of $250,000 or less without Lender’s approval (but with reasonable advance notice to Lender) and utilize any such funds for Restoration. Lender shall also have the right to appear with Borrower in any action against an insurer based on a claim for loss, damage or destruction under any policy or policies of insurance.

(b)    All compensation, proceeds, damages, claims, insurance recoveries, rights of action and payments which Borrower may receive or to which Borrower may become entitled with respect to the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof as a result of any casualty or condemnation, except as set forth below in this Section 8.1 (the “Proceeds”), shall be paid over to Lender and shall be held in an escrow account with an Acceptable Financial Institution. The Proceeds shall be applied first toward reimbursement of all costs and expenses of Lender in connection with recovery of the same, and then, except as set forth below in this Section 8.1, shall be applied in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender, without regard to the adequacy of Lender’s security hereunder, to the payment or prepayment of the Obligations in such order as Lender may determine, and any amounts so applied shall reduce the Obligations pro tanto (without any Prepayment Premium due in connection therewith). Any application of the Proceeds or any portion thereof to the Obligations shall not be construed to cure or waive any Default or Event of Default or invalidate any act done pursuant to any such Default or Event of Default.

(c)    Subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.1, and provided that (i) all Proceeds have been deposited with an Acceptable Financial Institution; (ii) no Event of Default shall exist; (iii) a Total Loss with respect to the Property shall not have occurred; (iv) the Restoration is capable, as reasonably determined by Lender, of being completed before the earlier (the “Required Restoration Date”) to occur of (x) the date which is six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (y) the date on which the insurance carried by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.4(a)(ii), with respect to the Mortgaged Property shall expire and (z) eighteen (18) months after the occurrence of the casualty or condemnation in question; (v) Lender shall have been furnished with an estimate of the cost of restoration accompanied by an architect’s certificate as to such costs and appropriate final plans and specifications for reconstruction of the Improvements, all of which shall be approved by Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (vi) the Improvements so restored or rebuilt shall be of at least equal value and substantially the same character as prior to the damage or destruction and appropriate for the purposes for which they were originally erected (and, if requested by Lender, Borrower will furnish, at its expense, an appraisal confirming such valuation); (vii) Borrower shall have furnished Lender with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all Improvements so restored and/or reconstructed and their use fully comply with all applicable zoning, building laws, ordinances and regulations and other Legal Requirements and that all required licenses and approvals required for use, operation and occupancy of the Improvements can be obtained, to the extent available; (viii) if the estimated cost of restoration exceeds the Proceeds available, Borrower shall have deposited with Lender such sums or other security as may be necessary, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, to pay such excess costs and (ix) Lender shall have received notice within thirty (30) days of the fire or other hazard or of the condemnation proceedings specifying the date of such fire or other hazard or the date the notice of condemnation proceedings was received and the request to Lender to make said Proceeds available to Borrower; then the Proceeds, less the actual costs, fees and expenses, if any, incurred in connection with adjustment of loss and Lender’s reasonable administrative expenses relating to such loss and the disbursement of the Proceeds shall be made available by Lender to the payment of all the costs of the aforesaid restoration, repairs, replacement, rebuilding or alterations, including the cost of temporary repairs or for the protection of property pending the completion of permanent restoration, repairs, replacements, rebuilding or alterations (all of which temporary repairs, protection of property and permanent restoration, repairs, replacement, rebuilding or alterations are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Restoration”), and shall be paid out from time to time as such Restoration progresses upon the request of Borrower if the work for which payment is requested has been done in a good and workmanlike manner, in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements and substantially in accordance with the plans and specifications therefor. Each request by Borrower for disbursement of Proceeds shall (unless Lender otherwise elects, in its sole discretion, with respect to a Restoration estimated by Lender to cost $100,000 or less to complete, to waive any of the following requirements) be accompanied by the required Lien Waivers, a Request for Release, and, to the extent not subsumed within a Request for Release, the following:

(1)    A certificate signed by Borrower, dated not more than thirty (30) days prior to such request, setting forth the following: (A) That the sum then requested either has been paid, or is justly due to contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, engineers, architects or other persons who have rendered services or furnished materials for the restoration therein specified or have paid for the same, the names and addresses of such persons, a brief description of such services and materials, the several amounts so paid or due to each of said persons in respect thereof (together with supporting statements and invoices for the same), that no part of such expenditures has been or is being made the basis of any previous or then pending request for the withdrawal of Proceeds or has been made out of any of the Proceeds received

by Borrower, and that the sum then requested does not exceed the value of the services and materials described in the certificate; and (B) That the costs, as estimated by the persons signing such certificate, of the Restoration required to be done subsequent to the date of such certificate in order to complete and pay for the same, do not exceed the Proceeds, plus any amount or security approved by Lender and deposited with such Acceptable Financial Institution by Borrower to defray such costs and remaining in the hands of Lender after payment of the sum requested in such certificate.

(2)    A title insurance report or other evidence satisfactory to Lender to the effect that there has not been filed with respect to the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, any vendor’s, contractor’s, mechanics’, laborer’s, materialmen’s or other Lien which has not been discharged of record or bonded or insured over, except such as will be disbursed by payment of the amount then requested.

(3)    A certificate signed by the Independent Architect and/or engineer in charge of the Restoration, who shall be selected by Borrower and approved in writing by Lender, certifying that the Restoration is proceeding in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by Lender and in accordance with all zoning, subdivision and other Legal Requirements. Upon compliance with the foregoing provisions, Lender shall, out of Proceeds (and the amount of security approved by Lender, if any, deposited by Borrower to defray the costs of the Restoration), pay or cause to be paid to Borrower or the Persons named (pursuant to clause (1)(A) above) in such certificate the respective amounts stated therein to have been paid by Borrower or to be due to them, as the case may be.

(d)    If the Proceeds at the time held by the Acceptable Financial Institution, less the actual costs, fees and expenses, if any, incurred in connection with the adjustment of the loss and Lender’s administrative expenses relating to such loss and the disbursement of the Proceeds, shall be, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, insufficient to pay the entire cost of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit with such Acceptable Financial Institution any such deficiency prior to disbursement of any additional portion of the Proceeds. Lender shall at all times have a perfected security interest on all Proceeds and other amounts held by such Acceptable Financial Institution pursuant to this Section 8. No payment made prior to the final completion of the Restoration shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the value of the work performed from time to time (provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, subcontractors who have completed their work may be paid in full), and at all times the undisbursed balance of said Proceeds remaining in the hands of Lender shall be at least sufficient to pay for the cost of completion of the Restoration free and clear of liens. In addition to the requirements and conditions set forth in Section 5.19, final payment shall be upon an architect’s certificate of completion in accordance with the final plans and specifications and compliance with all applicable zoning, building, subdivision and other governmental laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations, the filing of a notice of completion and the expiration of the period provided under applicable law for the filing of mechanic’s and materialmen’s liens and delivery to Lender of a certified copy of a final unconditional permanent (i) certificate of occupancy regarding the Restoration, to the extent available, and (ii) certificate of compliance from The Woodlands Community Association and The Woodlands Community Owners Association (or their successor entities). To the extent available, Lender may, at its option, require an endorsement to the Title Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage as to all sums advanced hereunder, such endorsement to be paid for by Borrower. Upon completion of the Restoration in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance herewith, and provided that Lender has received satisfactory evidence that the Restoration has been paid for in full and the Mortgaged Property is free and clear of all Liens, other than the Liens created in favor of

Lender by the Loan Documents and the Permitted Encumbrances (including signed lien waivers from all contractors and subcontractors conditioned only on payment of amounts specified therein), any balance of the Proceeds at the time held by Lender (after reimbursement to Lender of all costs and expenses of Lender, including administrative expenses, in connection with recovery of the same and disbursement of such Proceeds for the Restoration), if any, shall be applied as follows: (i) to the extent that such balance of the Proceeds is equal to or less than the amount, if any, by which the value of the Mortgaged Property prior to such damage or destruction exceeds the value of the Mortgaged Property after such Restoration (for these purposes, the value of the Mortgaged Property shall be determined by Lender in its discretion), then the portion of the balance of the Proceeds equal to such excess amount shall be applied to the payment or prepayment of the principal balance of the Obligations in such order as Lender may determine, and any amounts so applied shall reduce the Obligations pro tanto (without any Prepayment Premium due in connection therewith); and (ii) to the extent that the balance of the Proceeds exceeds such excess amount, such portion of the balance of the Proceeds shall be paid to Borrower.

(e)    Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to excuse Borrower from repairing or maintaining the Mortgaged Property as provided in the Agreement hereof or restoring all damage or destruction to the Mortgaged Property, regardless of whether or not there are insurance proceeds available or whether any such Proceeds are sufficient in amount, and the application or release by Lender of any Proceeds shall not cure or waive any Default or Event of Default or invalidate any other act done by Lender to exercise its remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, if, prior to the last two (2) years of the term of the Loan, Lender elects not to make such Proceeds available to Borrower for restoration, then Borrower may prepay the Loan without payment of the Prepayment Premium, so long as an Event of Default is not then in existence.

9.1    Event of Default. “Event of Default” means the occurrence or existence of any one or more of the following:

(A)    Payment. Failure of Borrower to pay (i) on the Maturity Date, the outstanding principal of, accrued interest in, and other Indebtedness owing pursuant to the Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents, (ii) within five (5) days after the due date, any installment of principal or interest due under the Note; provided, however, the aforesaid five (5) day grace period may be utilized by Borrower no more than once in any consecutive twelve (12) Loan Month period, or (iii) within five (5) days after the respective due date, any other amount due under the other Loan Documents, provided, however, the aforesaid five (5)‑day grace period may be utilized by Borrower no more than once in any consecutive twelve (12) Loan Month period.

(B)    Breach of Certain Provisions.

(i)    Failure of Borrower to perform or comply with any term, agreement, covenant, representation, warranty or condition contained in Sections 5.1(E), 5.1(F), 5.1(G), 5.1(H), 5.13, 6.2, 7.2, 7.5, 7.9, 7.12, 7.13, 7.14, 8.1(a), 8.1(b) or 10 and such failure is not remedied or waived within five (5) Business Days after receipt by Borrower of notice from Lender of such failure.

(ii)    Failure of Borrower to perform or comply with any term, agreement, covenant, representation, warranty or condition contained in Sections 5.4 (except any such failure which does

not result in any insurance coverage required by Section 5.4 not in fact being in place), 7.1, 7.3, 7.4, 7.10 or 7.11.

(C)    Breach of Representation and Warranty. Any representation, warranty, certification or other statement made by Borrower or Guarantor in any Loan Document or in any statement or certificate at any time given in writing pursuant or in connection with any Loan Document (other than occurrences described in other provisions of this Section 9.1 for which a different grace or cure period is specified or which constitute immediate Events of Default) is false in any material respect on the date made which remains uncured for five (5) Business Days after notice, but no grace or curative period will apply if the representation, warranty, certification or other statement was known by Borrower or Guarantor to be false when made or deemed made.

(D)    Other Defaults Under Loan Documents.

The rights to notice and cure periods granted herein shall not be cumulative with any other rights to notice or a cure period in any other Loan Document and the giving of notice or a cure period pursuant to this section shall satisfy any and all obligations of Lender to grant any such notice or cure period pursuant to any of the Loan Documents.

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (other than Events of Default specified in Sections 9.1(E) and 9.1(F)), Lender, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to Lender at law or in equity, or under any of the other Loan Documents, may exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies as it, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable:

(a)    Acceleration. Declare immediately due and payable, without further notice, protest, presentment, notice of protest or demand, all Obligations including all monies advanced under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and/or any of the Loan Documents which are then unpaid, together with all interest then accrued thereon and all other amounts then owing (including any Default Interest, or prepayment premium owed as a result of such acceleration). If payment of the Obligations is accelerated, Lender may, in its sole discretion, exercise all rights and remedies hereunder and under the Note, the Mortgage and/or any of the other Loan Documents at law, in equity or otherwise.

(b)    Possession. Enter upon and take possession of the Mortgaged Property and proceed in the name of Lender or Borrower as the attorney-in-fact of Borrower (which authority, to the extent permitted by law, is hereby granted by Borrower, is coupled with an interest, and is irrevocable), as Lender shall elect. If Lender elects to so enter upon and take possession of the Mortgaged Property, Lender (i) may enforce or cancel all contracts entered into by Borrower or make other contracts which are in Lender’s sole opinion advisable, and (iii) shall be reimbursed by Borrower upon demand any reasonable amount or amounts expended by Lender for such performance together with any reasonable costs, charges, or expenses incident thereto or otherwise incurred or expended by Lender or its representatives (including an appraisal) on behalf of Borrower in connection with the Mortgaged Property, and the amounts so expended shall be considered part of the Loan evidenced by the Note and secured by the Loan Documents and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

(c)    Injunctive Relief. Institute appropriate proceedings for injunctive relief (including specific performance of the obligations of Borrower).

(d)    Accounts. Release all funds contained in the Reserve Accounts to be applied to Borrower’s Obligations.

9.3    Remedies Cumulative; Waivers; Reasonable Charges. All of the remedies given to Lender in the Loan Documents or otherwise available at law or in equity to Lender shall be cumulative and may be exercised separately, successively or concurrently. Failure to exercise any one of the remedies herein provided shall not constitute a waiver thereof by Lender, nor shall the use of any such remedies prevent the subsequent or concurrent resort to any other remedy or remedies vested in Lender by the Loan Documents or at law or in equity. To be effective, any waiver by Lender must be in writing and such waiver shall be limited in its effect to the condition or default specified therein, and no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent condition or default. It is agreed that (i) the actual costs and damages that Lender would suffer by reason of an Event of Default (exclusive of the attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in connection with enforcement of Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents) or a prepayment would be difficult and needlessly expensive to calculate and establish, and (ii) the amounts of the Default Rate, the Late Charge, payments to be made pursuant to Section 2.4(c)(ii) and the Prepayment Premium are reasonable, taking into consideration the circumstances known to the parties at this time, and (iii) the Default Rate, the Late Charges and Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with enforcement of Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents shall be due and payable as provided herein, and (iv) the Default Rate, Late Charges, Prepayment Premium, the payments to be made pursuant to Section 2.4(c)(ii) and the obligation to pay Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and other enforcement costs do not, individually or collectively, constitute a penalty.

10.1    Secondary Market Transaction. Borrower agrees that Lender has the absolute right to securitize, syndicate, grant participations in, or otherwise Transfer all or any portion of the Loan (each such transaction, a “Securitization”). Lender may determine to Transfer some or all of the Loan or retain title to some or all of the Loan as part of a Securitization. Borrower further agrees that Lender may delegate any or all of Lender’s rights, powers and privileges to a servicer (“Servicer”) and Borrower shall, upon notice from Lender, recognize the Servicer as the agent of Lender. In the event this Loan becomes or is designated by Lender to become an asset of a Securitization, upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall meet, from time to time, with representatives of the Rating Agencies in connection with such a Securitization to discuss the business and operations of the Mortgaged Property and, in that regard, agrees to cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Rating Agencies. Lender may retain the Rating Agencies to provide rating surveillance services on any certificates issued in a Securitization. In no event shall Borrower be required to pay any servicer fees, Securitization trustee fees or other Securitization administrative expenses except as may be expressly provided in this Agreement. Borrower shall, upon request from Lender, from time to time, cooperate, and Borrower shall, cause Guarantor and Borrower’s partners and/or members to cooperate, in all reasonable respects in connection with a Securitization. Such cooperation may, in Lender’s discretion, include documentation changes, changes in organizational documents, changes in Accounts, Reserves, Payment Dates, Interest Periods, insurance endorsement changes, tenant payment direction changes, site inspections, updated appraisals, preparation and delivery of financial information or other diligence requested by Lender and/or any Rating Agency; provided, however, any third party costs incurred by Borrower related to such changes shall be reimbursed by Lender and such changes shall not materially and adversely diminish Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents nor increase Borrower’s burdens and obligations under the Loan Documents. Such cooperation may include, in Lender’s discretion, execution of one or more promissory notes and the creation of Liens securing such notes of differing priority and/or the creation of mezzanine

debt secured by pledges of all of the membership interests in the Borrower so long as the principal amount, interest rate, payment terms and other monetary terms of the Loan do not, in the aggregate change. Borrower will not be required to incur any expenses or costs pursuant to this Section 10.1. Borrower will, upon request from Lender, in connection with a Securitization, enter into such acknowledgments and confirmations of the applicable assignments as Lender may request. Borrower shall, subject to the terms and provisions of this Section 10.1, use reasonable efforts to satisfy the market standards which Lender determines are reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with a Securitization. Notwithstanding anything else contained to the contrary herein, Borrower will not, pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 10.1, incur, suffer or accept (i) any lesser rights or greater obligations as are currently set forth in the Loan Documents or Borrower’s Organizational Documents (unless Borrower is made whole by the holder of the Note) or (ii) subject to Section 11.13 hereof, any personal liability other than as set forth in the Loan Documents. Borrower will also, if requested by Lender, cause independent counsel to render opinions customary in securitization transactions with respect to the Mortgaged Property and Borrower and Borrower’s and Guarantor’s Subsidiaries (but not a true sale, 10b‑5 opinion or nonconsolidation opinion), which counsel and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies and which shall be addressed to such Persons as shall be reasonably designated by the holder of the Note. Borrower’s failure to deliver the opinions required hereby within ten (10) Business Days after written request therefore shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder. If requested by Lender, Borrower’s cooperation will also include (but subject to Section 11.3) certifications and agreements pursuant to which Borrower will certify that it has examined the portion of applicable preliminary and final private placement memorandum or preliminary, final and supplement or prospectus specified by Lender as pertaining to Borrower, the Loan, Guarantor, the Mortgaged Property and the Manager, and that each such designated portion, as it relates to Borrower, Guarantor, the Mortgaged Property, Manager and all other aspects of the Loan, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. All reasonable costs of Borrower’s cooperation as described in this Section 10.1 shall be at the expense of Lender, except (a) any costs and expenses for the appointment of a second Independent Person for Borrower and Borrower Representative, which costs shall be paid by Borrower, and (b) any reasonable fees and expenses of the Servicer which Borrower may be obligated to pay based upon actions, consents or waivers requested by Borrower.

11.1    Expenses and Attorneys’ Fees. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, Borrower agrees to promptly pay all fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, cost of appeal and the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of other professionals retained by Lender) incurred by Lender in connection with the following, and all such fees, costs and expenses shall be part of the Obligations, payable on five (5) Business Days written notice: (A) the examination, review, due diligence investigation, documentation and closing of the financing arrangements evidenced by the Loan Documents; (B) the giving or withholding of any consents, approvals, or permissions, administration of the Loan, disbursements of the Loan and disbursements from the Accounts and in connection with any amendments, modifications and waivers relating to the Loan Documents requested by Borrower; (C) the review, documentation, negotiation and closing of any subordination or intercreditor agreements, Lease reviews, and subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreements; (D) Lender’s Representative; and (E) enforcement of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the collection of any payments due from Borrower or Guarantor under the Loan Documents or any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under the Loan Document, whether in the nature of a “workout” or in connection with any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings or otherwise; provided, however, in no event shall Borrower be liable for any fees incurred by Lender in connection with a Securitization.

11.2    Certain Lender Matters. Lender may, in accordance with Lender’ customary practices, destroy or otherwise dispose of all documents, schedules, invoices or other papers, delivered by Borrower to Lender unless Borrower requests, at the time of delivery, in writing that same be returned. Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Mortgaged Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender. No provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents and no course of dealing between the parties shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty by Lender to Borrower or any other Person. All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, and other professional Persons and consultants retained by Lender shall have the right to act exclusively in the interest of Lender and shall have no duty of loyalty, duty of care or any other duty to Borrower or any of Borrower’s partners, shareholders, members, managers, Affiliates or any other Person. By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed or fulfilled or to be given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, Lender shall not be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not be or constitute any warranty or representation with respect hereto or thereto by Lender. Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender or their respective attorneys, advisors, accountants, officers, representatives, directors, employees, partners, shareholders, trustees, members or managers. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action, in either case, on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates. LENDER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY HEREUNDER FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR INDIRECT DAMAGES. In the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceedings affecting Borrower or Borrower Representative or Guarantor, or their respective creditors or property, Lender, to the extent permitted by law, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lender allowed in such proceedings for the entire secured Obligations at the date of the institution of such proceedings and for any additional amount which may become due and payable by Borrower after such date. Lender shall have the right from time to time to designate, appoint and replace one or more servicers and to allow servicer to exercise any and all rights of Lender under the Loan Documents. All documents and other matters required by any of the provisions of this Agreement to be submitted or provided to Lender shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall not be entitled to (and does hereby waive any and all rights to receive) any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which the Loan Documents expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower. In any action or proceeding brought by Borrower against Lender claiming or based upon an allegation that Lender unreasonably withheld its consent to or approval of a proposed act by Borrower which requires Lender’s consent hereunder, Borrower’s sole and exclusive remedy in said action or proceeding shall be injunctive relief or specific performance requiring Lender to grant such consent or approval.

11.3    Indemnity. In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 11.1 and the indemnification obligations set forth in other portions of this Agreement, the Environmental Indemnification Agreement or the other Loan Documents, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, Borrower agrees to indemnify, pay, defend and hold Lender, its officers, directors, members, partners,

shareholders, participants, beneficiaries, trustees, employees, agents, successors and assigns, any subsequent holder of the Note, any trustee, fiscal agent, servicer, underwriter and placement agent, (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, causes of action, suits, claims, tax liabilities, broker’s or finders fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto) that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against that Indemnitee, based upon any third party claims against such Indemnitees in any manner related to or arising out of (A) any breach by Borrower or Guarantor of any representation, warranty, covenant, or other agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents, (B) the actual or threatened presence, release, disposal, spill, escape, leakage, transportation, migration, seepage, discharge, removal, or cleanup of any Hazardous Material located on, about, within, under, affecting, from or onto the Mortgaged Property or any violation of any applicable Environmental Law by Borrower or the Mortgaged Property, or (C) the use or intended use of the proceeds of any of the Loan (the foregoing liabilities herein collectively referred to as the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that Borrower shall have no obligation to an Indemnitee hereunder with respect to Indemnified Liabilities arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee as determined in a final order by a court of competent jurisdiction. Borrower shall be relieved of its obligation under clause (B) of this Section 11.3 with respect to Hazardous Materials first introduced to the Land and Improvements after either (1) the foreclosure of the Mortgage or (2) the delivery by Borrower to, and acceptance by, Lender or its designee of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure with respect to the Mortgaged Property. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them. If any such action or other proceeding shall be brought against Lender, upon written notice from Borrower to Lender (given reasonably promptly following Lender’s notice to Borrower of such action or proceeding), Borrower shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, at Borrower’s expense, with counsel reasonably acceptable to Lender; provided, however, Lender may, at its own expense, retain separate counsel to participate in such defense, but such participation shall not be deemed to give Lender a right to control such defense, which right Borrower expressly retains. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnitee shall, following notice to and consultation with Borrower, have the right to employ separate counsel at Borrower’s expense if, in the reasonable opinion of legal counsel, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnitee and Borrower that would make such separate representation advisable. Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify an Indemnitee for damage or loss resulting from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

11.4    Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise provided herein, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, or consent to any departure therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender (and, with respect to any amendment or modification, unless also signed by Borrower). Each amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower, or any other Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners or members and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Mortgaged Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of all or any of the Mortgage, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan

Documents to a sale of the Mortgaged Property for the collection of the obligations without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the obligations owing Lender on account of the Loan Documents out of the net proceeds of the Mortgaged Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, any equitable right otherwise available to Borrower which would require the separate sale of any of any portion of the Mortgaged Property or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any portion of the Mortgaged Property or any combination of the Mortgaged Property before proceeding against any other portion; and further in the event of such foreclosure, Borrower expressly consents to and authorizes, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim or defense of performance, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents. Subject to the remaining terms of the Loan Documents, Borrower shall have the right to bring a separate action against Lender for breaches of Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents. No failure or delay on the part of Lender or any holder of any Note in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under the Note or any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. Lender shall not be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Person makes a payment or payments to Lender, or Lender enforces its remedies or exercise its rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligations or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, if any, rights and remedies therefore, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. Borrower agrees (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury or other law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which would prohibit or forgive Borrower from paying all or any portion of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on Loan contemplated herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Agreement; and Borrower (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the holders, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

11.5    Notices. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice or other communica-tion required or permitted to be given shall be in writing addressed to the respective party as set forth below and may be personally served, telecopied (with request for confirmation) or sent by overnight courier service or United States registered mail return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Any notice so given shall be deemed effective upon delivery or on refusal or failure of delivery during normal business hours. Notices shall be addressed to the parties at the addresses specified on Schedule 11.5 or to such other address as the party addressed shall have previously designated by written notice to the serving party, given in accordance with this Section 11.5.

11.6    Survival of Warranties and Certain Agreements. All agreements, representations and warranties made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the making of the Loan hereunder and the execution and delivery of the Notes. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or implied by law to the contrary, the provisions of Sections 2.6, 5.8, 11.1, 11.2, 11.3, 11.12, 11.13 and 11.15 shall survive the

payment of the Loan and the termination of this Agreement. Subject to this Section 11.6, all other representations, warranties and agreements of Borrower and Lender set forth in this Agreement shall terminate upon indefeasible payment in full of the Loan and the termination of this Agreement.

11.7    Miscellaneous. Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect. All covenants and agreements hereunder shall be given in any jurisdiction independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability in any jurisdiction of any provision in or obligation under this Agreement, the Note or other Loan Documents shall not affect or impair the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations under this Agreement, the Note or other Loan Documents or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction. This Agreement is made for the sole benefit of Borrower and Lender, and no other Person shall be deemed to have any privity of contract hereunder nor any right to rely hereon to any extent or for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall any other person have any right of action of any kind hereon or be deemed to be a third party beneficiary hereunder. This Agreement, the Note, and the other Loan Documents referred to herein embody the final, entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior commitments, agreements, representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof and may not be contradicted or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the parties hereto. There are no oral agreements among the parties hereto. Borrower and Lender acknowledge that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by Borrower and Lender. If any term, condition or provision of this Agreement shall be inconsistent with any term, condition or provision of any other Loan Document, this Agreement shall control. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents, or supplements may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto.

11.8    APPLICABLE LAW. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE LOAN AND LOAN DOCUMENTS HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL NEXUS TO THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND AGREE THAT THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

11.13    Recourse Loan. Borrower shall have full personal recourse liability for the Obligations incurred under this Agreement, this Note or any of the other Loan Documents.

In the event that Borrower shall at any time fail to duly and punctually pay, perform, observe or comply with any of its covenants and agreements hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or if any Event of Default hereunder shall exist, then Lender may (but shall in no event be required to) make any such payment or perform any such term, provision, condition, covenant or agreement or cure any such Event of Default. Lender shall not take action under this Section 11.14 prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default unless in Lender’s good faith judgment reasonably exercised, such action is necessary or appropriate in order to preserve the value of the Collateral, to protect Persons or property, or Borrower has abandoned the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof. Lender shall not be obligated to continue any such action having commenced the same and may cease the same without notice to Borrower. Any amounts expended by Lender in connection with such action shall constitute additional advances hereunder, the payment of which is additional Indebtedness, secured by the Loan Documents and shall become due and payable within five (5) Business Days of written notice by Lender upon demand by Lender, with interest at the Default Rate from the date of disbursement thereof until fully paid. No further direction or authorization from Borrower shall be necessary for such disbursements. The execution of this Agreement by Borrower shall and hereby does constitute an irrevocable direction and authorization to Lender to so disburse such funds. To the extent permitted by law, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender, as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with full authority in the place and stead of Borrower and in the name of Borrower or otherwise (A) during the existence of an Event of Default in the discretion of Lender, to take any action and to execute any instrument which Lender may deem necessary to accomplish the purpose of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including the following: (i) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for monies due and to become due under or in respect of the Accounts and/or any of the Reserve Account Collateral; (ii) to receive, endorse, and collect (x) any Gross Revenues, (y) any instruments made payable to any Borrower representing any dividend, payment of principal, interest, redemption price, purchase price or other distribution or payment in respect of any Reserve Account Collateral, or (z) any other instruments, documents and chattel paper received in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (iii) to file any claims, or take any action or institute any proceedings which Lender shall deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any Gross Revenues in the event Borrower shall fail to do so, or to otherwise enforce the rights of Lender with respect to this Agreement; (B) to execute and/or file, without the signature of Borrower any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, continuation statements, or other filing, and any amendment thereof, relating to the Reserve Account Collateral; (C) to give notice to any third parties which may be required to perfect Lender’s security interest in the Reserve Account Collateral; and (D) during the existence of an Event of Default, to register, purchase, sell, assign, transfer, pledge or take any other action with respect to any Reserve Account Collateral in accordance with this Agreement or any Loan Document. Lender shall notify Borrower of Lender’s taking of any action as attorney-in-fact, or otherwise in Borrower’s name, pursuant to the provisions of this Section.

11.15    Brokerage Claims. Borrower shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against all loss, cost, liability and expense incurred as a result of any claim for a broker’s or finder’s fee against Lender or any Person, in connection with the transaction herein contemplated, provided such claim is made by or arises through or under Borrower or is based in whole or in part upon alleged acts or omissions of Borrower. Lender shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Borrower harmless from and against all loss, cost, liability and expense incurred as a result of any claim for a broker’s or finder’s fee against Borrower or any other Person in connection with the transaction herein contemplated, provided such claim is made by or arises through or under Lender or is based in whole or in part upon alleged acts or omissions of Lender.

11.16    Agreement. THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF BORROWER AND LENDER SHALL BE DETERMINED SOLELY FROM THIS WRITTEN LOAN AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND ANY PRIOR ORAL OR WRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN LENDER AND BORROWER CONCERNING THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS ARE SUPERSEDED BY AND MERGED INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY NOT BE VARIED BY ANY ORAL AGREEMENTS OR DISCUSSIONS THAT OCCUR BEFORE, CONTEMPORANEOUSLY WITH, OR SUBSEQUENT TO THE EXECUTION OF THIS LOAN AGREEMENT OR THE LOAN DOCUMENTS. THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRA-DICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

11.17    Release of Excess Land. In the event that Borrower wishes to develop an additional building on a portion of the Excess Land containing not more than 91,000 rentable square feet (the “Additional Development”) at any time prior to the Maturity Date, then Borrower shall deliver written notice (the “Additional Development Notice”) to Lender which shall include the following: (i) a statement of Borrower’s intent to construct the Additional Development, (ii) a statement of Borrower’s belief that the Release Conditions (defined below) have been satisfied, and (iii) a copy of the Appraisal (defined below). During the thirty (30)‑day period following Lender’s receipt of the Additional Development Notice, Lender and Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to arrange construction and/or permanent financing with respect to the Additional Development. During such thirty (30)‑day period, Borrower shall negotiate exclusively and in good faith with Lender with respect to said financing. If Borrower and Lender are unable to agree upon terms with respect to such construction and/or permanent financing within the aforementioned thirty (30)‑day period, then upon written notice to Lender, Borrower may pursue the arrangement of construction and/or permanent financing with respect to the Additional Development from a third party lender.

Simultaneously with the closing for the construction and/or permanent financing with respect to the Additional Development, provided that the Release Conditions have been satisfied and Lender has received the Excess Land Principal Reduction Amount (defined below), Lender shall release the Excess Land from the Liens created in favor of Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents and amend the Loan Documents to exclude the Excess Land from the Mortgaged Property. Simultaneously with, and in consideration of, Lender’s release of the Excess Land from the Liens created in favor of Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount equal to the sum of (A) the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of the Excess Land (“Excess Land Principal Reduction Amount”), which payment shall be used to reduce the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan, and (B) the Prepayment Premium payable as a result of the partial prepayment of the Loan by Borrower’s delivery of the Excess Land Principal Reduction Amount to Lender.

In connection with the Additional Development, Lender hereby agrees that if same is required by Borrower or Borrower’s Mortgagee (defined below), Lender shall enter into reciprocal easement agreements, temporary construction easements, and/or other easement agreements reasonably acceptable to Borrower, Lender and Borrower’s mortgagee with respect to the Excess Land (if such mortgagee is other than Lender (“Borrower’s Mortgagee”)), providing for (1) mutual restrictive covenants regarding the use of each of the Excess Land and the remaining Mortgaged Property in a manner that does not adversely affect the operation of the remaining Mortgaged Property and that does not violate any Permitted Encumbrance; and (2) appropriate rights with respect to access, egress, utilities and parking, and for the maintenance of access

roads, curb cuts, utilities and common facilities (including parking facilities) to be shared by each of the Excess Land and the remaining Mortgaged Property.

Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that Section 2.4(C) of the Loan Agreement pertaining to the restriction imposed against Borrower making non-scheduled principal payments prior to the Lockout Expiration Date shall not apply to the payment of the Excess Land Principal Reduction Amount by Borrower prior to said Lockout Expiration Date, nor shall the restriction set forth in Section 2.4(C) of the Loan Agreement pertaining to partial prepayments of the Loan apply to the payment of the Excess Land Principal Reduction Amount by Borrower to Lender. Any and all reasonable costs and expenses approved in advance by Borrower that are incurred by, or on behalf of Lender in connection with releasing the Excess Land from the Liens created in favor of Lender under the Loan Documents or the attempt by Lender to arrange financing with respect to the Additional Development, shall be reimbursed by Borrower within ten (10) Business Days following Lender’s written request therefore.

For purposes hereof, “Excess Land” shall mean the portion of the Land marked as “Excess Land” on Exhibit G hereto.

For purposes hereof, the following shall constitute the “Release Conditions” that must be satisfied prior to Borrower having the right to cause Lender to release the Excess Land from the Liens created in favor of Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents:

(i)    at the time of Borrower’s request for the release of the Excess Land, no Event of Default must then exist or be continuing;

(ii)    at the time of Borrower’s request for release of the Excess Land, Borrower shall have obtained an appraisal of the Excess Land performed by an MAI certified appraiser selected by Borrower, and approved by Lender, said approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, which appraisal shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to Lender (the “Appraisal”), and

(iii)    neither the release of the Excess Land from the Liens created by the Loan Documents nor Borrower’s development of the Additional Development shall result in a Material Adverse Effect.

For purposes hereof, the “Fair Market Value” shall be the fair market value of the Excess Land as agreed upon by the Borrower and Lender; provided that if Borrower and Lender are unable to reach an agreement on the fair market value after reasonable negotiations, the fair market value of the Excess Land shall be determined by the agreement of two (2) appraisers (each, an “Initial Appraiser”), one of which shall be selected by Borrower and the other of which shall be selected by Lender. Each of Borrower and Lender shall direct, in writing with a copy to the other party, its Initial Appraiser to work with the other party’s Initial Appraiser to endeavor to determine and reach agreement upon the fair market value of the Excess Land, and thereafter to deliver in writing to Borrower and Landlord within thirty (30) days (such thirty (30)-day period, the “Valuation Period”) the agreed-upon fair market value (the “Valuation Notice”). The costs and expenses of each Initial Appraiser shall be paid by Borrower.

If the Initial Appraisers are not able to reach agreement upon the fair market value within the Valuation Period, within ten (10) days after the end of the Valuation Period each Initial Appraiser shall deliver a written notice to Borrower, Lender, and the other Initial Appraiser setting forth (i) such Initial Appraiser’s valuation of the fair market value (each, an “Initial Valuation”) and (ii) the name, address and qualifications of a third appraiser selected jointly by the Initial Appraisers (the “Third Appraiser”); provided that if the higher of the valuations of the two Initial Appraisers is within ten percent (10%) of the lower valuation, then the arithmetic average of the valuations of the Initial Appraisers shall be the “Fair Market Value” for the Excess

Land and the parties shall not be required to engage the Third Appraiser. The Initial Appraisers shall, in writing with a copy to Borrower and Lender, direct the Third Appraiser (or substitute Third Appraiser) to determine a valuation of the fair market value of the Excess Land, and to deliver in writing to Borrower, Lender and the Initial Appraisers such valuation (the “Third Valuation”) within twenty (20) days of the date of the written direction retaining such Third Appraiser. The fair market value shall be the arithmetic mean of (A) the Third Valuation and (B) the Initial Valuation closer to the Third Valuation. If the Third Valuation is exactly between the two Initial Valuations, then the fair market value shall be the Third Valuation. If the Initial Appraisers are unable to agree upon the designation of a Third Appraiser within the requisite time period or if the Third Appraiser selected does not make a valuation of the fair market value within twenty (20) calendar days after being directed by the Initial Appraisers, then such Third Appraiser or a substitute Third Appraiser, as applicable, shall, at the request of Lender, be appointed by the President or Chairman of the American Arbitration Association in the area in which the Excess Land is located. The costs and expenses of the Third Appraiser (and substitute Third Appraiser and the American Arbitration Association, if applicable) shall be paid by Borrower.

All appraisers selected or appointed pursuant to this Section 11.17 shall be independent qualified appraisers. Such appraisers shall have no right, power or authority to alter or modify the provisions of this Agreement, and such appraisers shall determine the fair market value of the Excess Land.

Witness the due execution hereof by the undersigned as of the date first written above.

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

(f)    Section 5.12 of the Loan Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(A)    Required Capital Improvements.    Subject to Section 5.12(C), each of the capital improvement items listed on Exhibit E hereto (“Required Capital Improvements”) shall be completed by the Required Completion Date.

(B)    Capital Improvements Reserve.    On or before September __, 2009, Borrower shall deposit $282,000 into the Capital Improvements Account for the purpose of establishing and maintaining a reserve (the “Capital Improvements Reserve”) for the completion of the Required Capital Improvements as required by this Agreement. Subject to Section 5.12(C), the funds contained in the Capital Improvements Reserve shall be utilized by Borrower solely for the Required Capital Improvements. So long as no Default or Event of Default exists at the time of any requested distribution of funds from the Capital Improvements Reserve, Lender shall make funds in the Capital Improvements Reserve available to Borrower subject to satisfaction of each of the following terms and conditions: (a) all Capital Improvements Reserve funds released by Lender to Borrower shall be used to pay for or reimburse Borrower for the reasonable expenses actually incurred and paid by Borrower for Required Capital Improvements; (b) Borrower shall have given Lender a Request for Release satisfactory to Lender; (c) disbursements from the Capital Improvements Reserve shall not be made more frequently than once per Loan Month; (d) each request for a disbursement shall be in an amount of not less than $10,000.00; and (e) upon

Lender shall make each disbursement of the Capital Improvements Reserve funds within fifteen (15) days after satisfaction of all the conditions to that disbursement. If an Event of Default exists, Lender may apply the Capital Improvements Reserve funds, together with any interest accrued thereon, to Borrower’s Obligations in such order and priority as Lender may determine. Lender shall not make any disbursements from the Capital Expenditure Reserve to or for the benefit of Borrower until (i) Lender has approved the expenditures proposed by Borrower, (ii) all conditions to such disbursement have been satisfied and (iii) Borrower has provided Lender with all invoices, receipts, lien waivers and other documentation reasonably requested by Lender. If at any time Lender determines, in its reasonable discretion, that the amount in the Capital Improvements Reserve is insufficient for Borrower to complete the requested Required Capital Improvements, then Borrower shall deposit any deficiency, based on Lender’s reasonable estimate, within fifteen (15) days following Lender’s written demand. If there are any funds remaining in the Capital Improvements Reserve on the date on which the Required Capital Improvements have been completed to Lender’s satisfaction (the “Completion Date”), then Lender shall promptly return such remaining funds to Borrower.

(h)    Exhibit E attached to the Loan Agreement is amended by deleting the column entitled “Required Completion Date.”

5.Representations and Warranties. In order to induce Lender to execute this Amendment, Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

(a)    This Amendment, and any other documents and instruments required to be executed and delivered by Borrower in connection herewith, when executed and delivered, will constitute the duly authorized, valid and legally binding obligations of Borrower, and will be enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject only to bankruptcy and insolvency laws of general applicability and the application of general principles of equity.

(b)    The execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment will not: (i) violate any laws or (ii) conflict with, be inconsistent with, or result in any breach or default of any of the terms, covenants, conditions, or provisions of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, corporate charter or bylaws, instrument, document, agreement or contract of any kind to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower may be bound. Borrower is not in default (beyond applicable grace or cure periods) under any contract or agreement to which each is a party, the effect of which default will materially adversely affect the performance by Borrower its representative obligations pursuant to and as contemplated by the terms and provisions of this Amendment.

(c)    Borrower hereby represents and warrants that as of the date hereof, Borrower has no defenses, claims, offsets or setoffs with regard to the enforcement of the Loan Documents as modified hereby.

(e)    All of the Mortgaged Property (as defined in the Mortgage) shall remain in all respects subject to the lien, charge and encumbrance of the Mortgage, as herein modified, and nothing herein contained and nothing done pursuant hereto, shall affect the lien, charge or encumbrance of the Mortgage, as herein modified, or the priority thereof with respect to other liens, charges, encumbrances or conveyances, or release or affect the liability of any part or parties whomsoever, who may now or hereafter be liable under, or on account of, the Loan Documents.

(f)    The execution and delivery of this Amendment does not constitute a waiver of any default under the Note, Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents (other than Lender waiving Borrower’s obligation to complete the Required Capital Improvements by the Required Completion Date as originally contemplated by the Loan Agreement); provided, however, that Lender hereby acknowledges that it is not aware of any defaults under the Loan Documents.

(g)    Time is hereby declared to be of the essence of this Amendment and of every part hereof.

THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT AND TO OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (this “Amendment”) is made as of June ___, 2011, by and between LEX-GEN WOODLANDS, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Borrower”), and SFI BELMONT LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with its successors and assigns, hereinafter referred to as “Lender”), with offices at c/o iStar Financial Inc., 1114 Avenue of the Americas, 38^th Floor, New York, New York 10036.

A.    Borrower and iStar Financial Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Original Lender”) entered into a Loan and Security Agreement dated as of April 21, 2004 (the “Original Loan Agreement”), as amended by that certain Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement and to other Loan Documents dated as of September 28, 2009 (the “First Amendment”; the Original Loan Agreement, as amended by such First Amendment, is herein called the “Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Lender agreed to make a loan to Borrower in the principal amount of Thirty-Four Million Dollars ($34,000,000) (the “Loan”) upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement. The Loan is evidenced by that certain Promissory Note of even date with the Loan Agreement in the principal amount of the Loan (the “Note”) and is secured by, among other things, (i) that certain Deed of Trust with Security Agreement, Assignment of Leases and Rents and Fixture Filing of even date with the Loan Agreement, recorded in the Official Records of Montgomery County, Texas (“Official Records”), as Document No. 2004-042420 (the “Mortgage”), covering the Property more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof, and (ii) that certain Guaranty of even date with the Loan Agreement (“Guaranty”) in favor of Original Lender made by Lexicon Genetics Incorporated, which is now known as Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

B.    The Loan Documents were assigned by Original Lender to iSTAR TARA LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“iStar Tara”), pursuant to that certain Assignment and Assumption of Note, Mortgage, and Other Loan Documents made as of March 1, 2009, recorded in the Official Records as Document No. 2009-022702 (the “First Assignment”) and then subsequently assigned by iStar Tara to Lender pursuant to that certain Assignment and Assumption of Note, Deed of Trust and Other Loan Documents made as of March 16, 2011 and recorded in the Official Records as Document No. 2011039443-1.

C.    Section 7.11 of the Loan Agreement prohibits, among other things, the sale of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property without Lender’s consent.

D.    Borrower desires to sell the portion of the Mortgaged Property which constitutes that portion of the Land (and the Improvement located thereupon) identified as “TRACT 2” on Exhibit A attached hereto (herein called the “Tract 2 Release Parcel”), with Borrower retaining both “TRACT 1” and “TRACT 3” on Exhibit A, pursuant to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement (“Tract 2 Agreement”) between Borrower and Tridan II, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, as successor by assignment to Tridan, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Tract 2 Purchaser”), and has requested Lender’s consent to such sale and Lender to release the lien of the Mortgage on the Tract 2 Release Parcel, and Lender is willing to do so solely upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.Incorporation of Recitals. The foregoing Recitals are incorporated herein and expressly made a part hereof.

2.Lender Consent. Lender hereby consents to the sale of the Tract 2 Release Parcel to the Tract 2 Purchaser (or its permitted assigns) pursuant to the Tract 2 Agreement and agrees to authorize the Title Company (as defined in the Tract 2 Agreement) to record an executed and acknowledged counterpart of the partial release attached hereto as Exhibit B (“Partial Release”) only upon satisfaction of all of the following conditions:

(a)    Borrower and Lender execute and deliver this Amendment and Guarantor executes and delivers the Consent of Guarantor attached hereto.

(b)    The gross purchase price paid by Tract 2 Purchaser to Borrower (that is, prior to deducting commissions, pro rated taxes and other expenses, costs associated with the title policy to be acquired for the benefit of Tract 2 Purchaser, any other closing costs to be paid by Borrower, as contemplated by the Tract 2 Agreement, and Borrower’s expenses related to such sale, including reasonable attorneys fees (collectively, the “Tract 2 Closing Costs”)), remains at least $2,500,000.

(c)    Prior to the closing of the sale of the Tract 2 Release Parcel to Tract 2 Purchaser (herein, the “Tract 2 Closing”), and Borrower’s executing and delivering the final settlement statement for the Tract 2 Closing, Borrower obtains Lender’s prior consent thereto (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, but may be withheld by Lender if the requirements in item (d) below is not satisfied).

(d)    The final closing statement for the Tract 2 Closing reflects that all of the net proceeds (i.e., gross purchase price reduced by the Tract 2 Closing Costs) shall be paid directly to Lender.

(e)    Contemporaneously with or prior to the Tract 2 Closing, Borrower pays (or delivers sufficient funds to the Title Company to pay) Lender an amount equal to $210,000, which amount Borrower and Lender agree is the Prepayment Premium attributable to the partial principal repayment being made in item (d) above.

Lender agrees to deliver the Partial Release to the Title Company on or prior to the scheduled date of the Tract 2 Closing, whereupon Borrower agrees that it shall cause each of the foregoing conditions to be satisfied and completed within two (2) business days of such Tract 2 Closing, or alternatively, Borrower shall cause the Partial Release to be returned to Lender within two (2) business days following the scheduled date of the Tract 2 Closing.

3.Application of Payments. Lender agrees that all amounts Lender receives pursuant to item (d) of Section 2 above shall be applied to reduce the outstanding principal of the Loan. Borrower understands and agrees that none of the yield maintenance premium paid to Lender pursuant to item (e) of Section 2 above shall be applied to any principal or interest due under the Loan. Additionally, Lender and Borrower recognize and agree that regular monthly installments of principal and interest following the Tract 2 Closing shall continue (so long as interest is not charged at the Default Rate as required by the Loan Documents) to be in an amount of Two Hundred Eighty-Nine Thousand Two Hundred Seventy-Five and 64/100 Dollars ($289,275.64).

4.Partial Termination of Guarantor Lease. Subject to Borrower’s satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2 above, Lender consents to the termination of the Guarantor Lease with respect to Tract 2 simultaneously with, and as part of, the Tract 2 Closing.

5.Capital Improvements. As used herein, “Sale Modification Date” means the first day when all of the following have occurred: (A) the Tract 2 Closing has occurred, (B) Lender has received the payments required by Sections 2(d) and (e) above, and (C) Lender has authorized the Title Company to record the Partial Release. Promptly following the Sale Modification Date, Lender shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Borrower, One Hundred Thirty-Eight Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($138,000.00) from the Capital Improvements Reserve. Effective as of the Sale Modification Date, and only if such date occurs, Exhibit E attached to the Loan Agreement shall be amended by deleting the row stating “Replace HVAC units at Building 3”, without further action by any party.

6.Amendments to Other Loan Documents. All references in each of the Loan Documents to the Loan Agreement shall refer to the Loan Agreement, as amended hereby, as such Loan Agreement may be further amended from time to time. From and after such time, if ever, when Lender delivers and releases the Partial Release for recording, all references to the Mortgaged Property shall not include the portion of the Mortgaged Property released from Lender’s liens as set forth in the Partial Release.

7.Conditions Precedent. Borrower agrees that it shall be a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Amendment that, among other things, all of the following shall have been satisfied on or prior to the date Lender authorizes the Title Company to record the Partial Release:

(a)    Borrower shall have paid (or have delivered sufficient funds to the Title Company to pay) the actual out-of-pocket fees and expenses of Lender reasonably incurred in connection with this Amendment, including reasonable fees and disbursements of Lender’s attorneys;

(b)    Borrower shall have furnished to Lender an affidavit stating the following:

8.Representations and Warranties. In order to induce Lender to execute this Amendment, Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

(a)    This Amendment, and any other documents and instruments required to be executed and delivered by Borrower in connection herewith, when executed and delivered, will constitute the duly authorized, valid and legally binding obligations of Borrower, and will be enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject only to bankruptcy and insolvency laws of general applicability and the application of general principles of equity.

(b)    The execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment will not: (i) violate any laws or (ii) conflict with, be inconsistent with, or result in any breach or default of any of the terms, covenants, conditions, or provisions of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, corporate charter or bylaws, instrument, document, agreement or contract of any kind to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower may be bound.

(c)    To Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower is not in default (beyond applicable grace or cure periods) under any contract or agreement to which Borrower is a party, the effect of which default will materially

adversely affect the performance by Borrower of its representative obligations pursuant to and as contemplated by the terms and provisions of this Amendment.

(d)    Borrower hereby represents and warrants that as of the date hereof, Borrower has no defenses, claims, offsets or setoffs with regard to the enforcement of the Loan Documents as modified hereby.

(a)    Borrower agrees that the Loan Agreement, the Note and each other Loan Document, as amended by this Amendment, remain in full force and effect in accordance with the previously existing terms thereof, as amended by this Amendment, and such documents and instruments are hereby ratified and confirmed.

(b)    This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

(c)    This Amendment shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, except that the creation, perfection and enforcement of the Liens and security interests created pursuant to the Mortgage shall be governed and construed according to the law of the state of Texas, it being understood that to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of Texas, the law of the State of New York shall govern the Loan Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents as set forth in Section 11.8 of the Loan Agreement.

(d)    The parties hereto expressly acknowledge and agree that this Amendment shall not be construed as a novation of the Note, the Mortgage or any other Loan Document.

(e)    All of the Mortgaged Property (other than the portion of the Mortgaged Property released from Lender’s liens as set forth in the Partial Release, upon the execution and recording of same) shall remain in all respects subject to the lien, charge and encumbrance of the Mortgage, as herein modified, and nothing herein contained and nothing done pursuant hereto, shall affect the lien, charge or encumbrance of the Mortgage, as herein modified, or the priority thereof with respect to other liens, charges, encumbrances or conveyances, or release or affect the liability of any part or parties whomsoever, who may now or hereafter be liable under, or on account of, the Loan Documents.

(f)    The execution and delivery of this Amendment does not constitute a waiver of any default under the Note, Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents (other than Lender waiving Borrower’s obligation to complete the Required Capital Improvements by the Required Completion Date as originally contemplated by the Loan Agreement); provided, however, that Lender hereby acknowledges that it is not aware of any defaults under the Loan Documents.

(g)    Time is hereby declared to be of the essence of this Amendment and of every part hereof.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Amendment as of the date first above written.

The undersigned, being the “Guarantor” under the Guaranty, hereby consents to the foregoing Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement and to Other Loan Documents.

Guarantor agrees, upon request of either Lender or Borrower, to enter into an amendment to the Guarantor Lease, to reflect such change in the Premises and other items above.

(c)    A new Section 11.18 is hereby added to the Loan Agreement immediately following Section 11.17 and before the sentence “witness the due execution hereof as of the date first written above”, which new Section 11.18 provides as follows:

11.18 Right of First Offer.

(a)    If Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower (herein, “Borrower Party”) intends to seek, obtain or accept a proposal for a loan, refinancing, or sale-leaseback transaction of the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a letter or other writing setting forth Borrower Party’s desire to undertake such a transaction and the general requirements thereof, including the requested loan amount, loan term, interest rate, purchase price, and/or lease term, as applicable, together with any special conditions (collectively, the “Request for Proposal”).

(b)    During the period from the receipt by Lender of the initial Request for Proposal and thirty (30) days thereafter (the “Proposal Period”), Lender shall have the right and option to provide a loan, refinancing, loan extension, or a sale-leaseback proposal for such transaction for the Mortgaged Property (collectively, the “Lender’s Proposal”) to Borrower Party setting forth the terms and conditions of such transaction from Lender, which Lender’s Proposal shall include a time period (which shall not extend more than ten (10) days beyond the Proposal Period) (the “Response Period”) within which Borrower Party must accept or reject such Lender’s Proposal by delivering written notice thereof to Lender. To the extent Borrower Party fails to so accept or reject Lender’s Proposal on or prior to the expiration of Response Period, Borrower Party shall be deemed to have rejected Lender’s Proposal.

(c)    Borrower Party shall have the right to request and negotiate additional proposals, term sheets, commitments, or similar items relating to any potential loan, refinancing, or sale-leaseback transactions for the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof (each, a “Third-Party Proposal”) during the Proposal Period and thereafter. If Borrower Party receives a Third Party Proposal during the Proposal Period, and if such Third-Party Proposal is “Competitive With” (as defined below) Lender’s Proposal, then within three (3) Business Days of Borrower Party’s receipt of such Third-Party Proposal, Borrower shall furnish to Lender a copy of such Third-Party Proposal (subject to any confidentiality restrictions to which Borrower Party may be subject thereunder). Lender agrees (i) to hold any such Third-Party Proposal in strict confidence and take reasonable precautions to protect such Third-Party Proposal, (ii) not to divulge the contents of any such Third-Party Proposal to any third party, subject to the right to disclose such information (a) to Lender’s directors, officers, employees and agents, including advisors, accountants, attorneys and parent entities, under like strictures of confidentiality, as may be reasonably required for Lender to evaluate the Third-Party Proposal, and (b) to the extent required by law or regulations or by any

subpoena or similar legal process, and (iii) not to make any use of any such Third-Party Proposal except to evaluate whether to revise Lender’s Proposal as contemplated in this Section 11.18. For clarity, Borrower shall only be obligated to furnish Lender with a copy of any Third-Party Proposal received by Borrower Party from any particular third party during the Proposal Period.

(d)    If Borrower Party furnishes a copy of a Third-Party Proposal to Lender pursuant to Section 11.18(b), on or prior to the earlier of (i) five (5) Business Days of Lender’s receipt of a copy of a Third-Party Proposal or (ii) the last day of the Proposal Period (the “Revised Proposal Submission Period”), Lender shall be permitted to (but Lender shall be under no obligation to) provide an initial Lender’s Proposal or, if Lender has already provided an initial Lender’s Proposal, revise Lender’s Proposal as Lender deems appropriate, if at all, and submit same to Borrower Party, in which event Borrower Party shall have until the later of (1) five (5) Business Days following Lender’s submission of the initial or revised Lender’s Proposal, as applicable, or (2) the last day of the Proposal Period (the “Revised Proposal Response Period”), to accept or reject the initial or revised Lender’s Proposal, as applicable, by delivering written notice thereof to Lender. To the extent Borrower Party fails to so accept or reject the initial or revised Lender’s Proposal, as applicable, on or prior to the expiration of the Revised Proposal Response Period, Borrower shall be deemed to have rejected such Lender’s Proposal. For purposes of this Section 11.18, Lender’s Proposal shall be deemed to be “Competitive With” a Third-Party Proposal if (a) Lender’s Proposal is for a loan amount or purchase price, as applicable, of one hundred percent (100%) or more of the loan amount or purchase price, as applicable, set forth in such Third-Party Proposal and (b) if (I) a sale-leaseback transaction, Lender’s Proposal sets forth an annual rental rate as a percentage of purchase price calculated over the term of the lease which is within twenty-five (25) basis points (0.0025) of the annual rental rate as a percentage of purchase price (calculated over the term of the lease) set forth in such Third-Party Proposal or (II) a loan or refinance, the annual interest rate is within fifty (50) basis points (0.0050) of the interest rate set forth in such Third-Party Proposal. Except as set forth in Section 11.18(g), upon the later to occur of Borrower’s rejection of Lender’s Proposal or the revised Lender’s Proposal, as applicable, this Section 11.18 shall be of no further force or effect.

(e)    Borrower shall not and shall not permit its Affiliates to accept or commit to any loan, refinancing, or any sale-leaseback transaction set forth in any Third-Party Proposal required to be furnished to Lender hereunder until the expiration of the Proposal Period or the Revised Proposal Response Period, as applicable.

(f)    If Borrower Party elects to accept Lender’s Proposal or the revised Lender’s Proposal, as applicable, such parties shall negotiate in good faith for purposes of entering into documents relating thereto as the parties shall agree upon consistent with the terms of Lender’s Proposal or the revised Lender’s Proposal, as applicable; provided, however, that neither party shall be under any obligation to consummate the transaction described in the Lender’s Proposal or the revised Lender’s Proposal, as applicable.

(g)    If (i) Borrower Party does not close on a loan, refinancing, or sale-leaseback transaction for the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof, pursuant to a Third-Party Proposal within one hundred eighty (180) days following the expiration of the Proposal Period or the Revised Proposal Response Period, as applicable, and (ii) Borrower Party intends at any time thereafter to seek, obtain or accept a proposal for a loan, refinancing or sale-leaseback transaction of the Mortgaged Property, then Borrower shall deliver to Lender a new

Request for Proposal in connection therewith and the process set forth in this Section 11.18 shall be reinitiated.

(d)    Schedule 2.3, Amortization Schedule, to the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated to be Schedule 2.3, Amortization Schedule, attached to this Amendment.

3.Amendments to Other Loan Documents. All references in each of the Loan Documents to the Loan Agreement shall refer to the Loan Agreement, as amended hereby, as such Loan Agreement may be further amended from time to time.

(b)    The execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment will not: (i) violate any laws or (ii) conflict with, be inconsistent with, or result in any breach or default of any of the terms, covenants, conditions, or provisions of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, corporate charter or bylaws, instrument, document, agreement or contract of any kind to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower may be bound.

(c)    To Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower is not in default (beyond applicable grace or cure periods) under any contract or agreement to which Borrower is a party, the effect of which default will materially adversely affect the performance by Borrower of its representative obligations pursuant to and as contemplated by the terms and provisions of this Amendment.

(d)    Borrower hereby represents and warrants that as of the date hereof, Borrower has no defenses, claims, offsets or setoffs with regard to the enforcement of the Loan Documents as modified hereby.

(b)    This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

(c)    This Amendment shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, except that the creation, perfection and enforcement of the Liens and security interests created pursuant to the Mortgage shall be governed and construed according to the law of the state of Texas, it being understood that to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of Texas, the law of the State of New York shall govern the Loan Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents as set forth in Section 11.8 of the Loan Agreement.

(d)    The parties hereto expressly acknowledge and agree that this Amendment shall not be construed as a novation of the Note, the Mortgage or any other Loan Document.

(f)    The execution and delivery of this Amendment does not constitute a waiver of any default under the Note, Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that Lender hereby acknowledges that it is not aware of any defaults under the Loan Documents.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, LEX-GEN WOODLANDS, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Borrower”), promises to pay to iSTAR FINANCIAL, INC., a Maryland corporation (“Holder”), or order, at 1114 Avenue of the Americas, 27th Floor, New York, New York 10036, or at such other place as Holder may from time to time in writing designate, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal sum of THIRTY FOUR MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($34,000,000.00) or such other sum as may be the total amount outstanding pursuant to this Note (the “Loan”), payable at such rates and at such times as are provided in the “Loan Agreement” (as hereinafter defined).

Payments of both principal and interest are to be made in lawful money of the United States of America.

This Promissory Note (this “Note”) evidences Indebtedness incurred under, and is subject to the terms and provisions of, that certain Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith, by and among the Borrower and the Holder (herein, as the same may be further amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, called the “Loan Agreement”). The Loan Agreement, to which reference is hereby made, sets forth said terms and provisions, including those under which this Note may or must be paid prior to its due date or may have its due date accelerated or extended. The Loan Agreement also contains provisions for the payment of late charges and interest at the Default Rate, all as more specifically set forth therein. Repayment of the Indebtedness evidenced by this Note is secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents referred to in the Loan Agreement, and reference is made thereto for a statement of terms and provisions.

Terms used but not otherwise defined herein are used herein as defined in the Loan Agreement.

This Note may only be prepaid in whole or in part in accordance with the terms of Section 2.4 of the Loan Agreement (or as otherwise expressly provided elsewhere in the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents). Any payments of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan evidenced by this Note, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be accompanied by interest accrued to the date of prepayment and the Prepayment Premium, to the extent, if any, provided in Section 2.4 of the Loan Agreement (except to the extent any other provision of the Loan Agreement expressly provides otherwise, including, without limitation, Section 2.2(C) of the Loan Agreement).

EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PERMITTED IN THIS NOTE OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY (i) WAIVES ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE UNDER LAW TO PREPAY THIS NOTE, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, WITHOUT PENALTY, UPON ACCELERATION OF THE MATURITY DATE, AND (ii) AGREES THAT IF, FOR ANY REASON, A PREPAYMENT OF ALL OR ANY PORTION OF THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THIS NOTE IS MADE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, UPON OR FOLLOWING ANY ACCELERATION OF THE MATURITY DATE BY HOLDER ON ACCOUNT OF THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY TRANSFER, DISPOSITION, OR FURTHER ENCUMBRANCE PROHIBITED OR RESTRICTED BY THE LOAN AGREEMENT, THEN BORROWER SHALL BE OBLIGATED TO PAY CONCURRENTLY WITH SUCH PREPAYMENT THE PREPAYMENT PREMIUM TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED UNDER SECTION 2.4 OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT. BY INITIALING THIS PROVISION IN THE SPACE PROVIDED BELOW, BORROWER HEREBY DECLARES THAT (1) EACH OF THE MATTERS SET FORTH IN THIS PARAGRAPH IS TRUE AND CORRECT, (2) HOLDER’S AGREEMENT TO MAKE THE LOAN EVIDENCED BY THIS

NOTE AT THE INTEREST RATES SET FORTH IN THE LOAN AGREEMENT AND FOR THE TERM SET FORTH IN THIS NOTE CONSTITUTES ADEQUATE CONSIDERATION FOR THIS WAIVER AND AGREEMENT, AND HAS BEEN GIVEN INDIVIDUAL WEIGHT BY BORROWER AND HOLDER, (3) BORROWER IS A SOPHISTICATED AND KNOWLEDGE-ABLE REAL ESTATE INVESTOR WITH COMPETENT AND INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL, AND (4) BORROWER FULLY UNDERSTANDS THE EFFECT OF THIS WAIVER AND AGREEMENT.

The remedies of Holder, as provided in this Note, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued singularly, successively or together, at the sole discretion of Holder, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall occur; and the failure to exercise any such right or remedy shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof. In any action, sale of collateral, or other proceedings to enforce this Note, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, Holder need not file or produce the original of this Note, but only need file or produce a photocopy of this Note certified by Holder to be a true and correct copy of this Note.

In the event of any dispute, action or lawsuit regarding the terms hereof, subject to the provisions of the Loan Agreement, the prevailing party will have the right to recover from the other party all court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred with respect thereto, in addition to all other applicable damages and costs.

BORROWER WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, DILIGENCE, PRESENTMENT FOR PAYMENT, DEMAND, NOTICE OF DEMAND, NOTICE OF PROTEST, NOTICE OF NONPAYMENT OR DISHONOR, NOTICE OF INTENTION TO ACCELERATE, NOTICE OF ACCELERATION, PROTEST AND NOTICE OF PROTEST OF THIS NOTE, AND ALL OTHER NOTICES (OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THE LOAN AGREEMENT OR OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) IN CONNECTION WITH THE DELIVERY, ACCEPTANCE, PERFORMANCE, DEFAULT OR ENFORCEMENT OF THE PAYMENT OF THIS NOTE. BORROWER FURTHER WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALL VALUATION AND APPRAISEMENT PRIVILEGES, CLAIMS OF LACK OF DILIGENCE OR DELAYS IN COLLECTION OR ENFORCEMENT OF THIS NOTE, THE RELEASE OF ANY PARTY LIABLE, THE RELEASE OF ANY SECURITY FOR THE DEBT, THE TAKING OF ANY ADDITIONAL SECURITY AND ANY OTHER INDULGENCE OF FORBEARANCE.

Holder shall not be deemed, by any act of omission or commission, to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Holder, and then only to the extent specifically set forth in the writing. The acceptance by Holder of any payment hereunder which is less than payment in full of all amounts due and payable at the time of such payment shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise any of the foregoing options at that time or at any subsequent time or nullify any prior exercise of any such option without the express consent of Holder, except as and to the extent otherwise provided by law. A waiver with reference to one event shall not be construed as continuing or as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy as to a subsequent event.

PURSUANT TO SECTION 5‑1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BORROWER AND ANY GUARANTOR OF THIS NOTE AGREE THAT THIS NOTE AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HERE-UNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED

AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Whenever used, the singular number shall include the plural, the plural shall include the singular, and the words “Holder” and “Borrower” shall be deemed to include their respective heirs, executors, successors and assigns.

All notices which Holder or Borrower may be required or permitted to give hereunder shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 11.5 of the Loan Agreement.

In the event any one or more of the provisions hereof shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity of the remaining provisions hereof shall be in no way affected, prejudiced or disturbed thereby.

Borrower acknowledges that Holder may, in its sole discretion, sell all or any part of its interest in the Loan evidenced by this Note, including, without limitation, for purposes of effecting a Securitization.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note or any other Loan Documents, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Holder’s rights hereunder shall be reinstated and revived, and the enforceability of this Note and the other Loan Documents shall continue, with respect to any amount at any time paid on account of the Loan which thereafter shall be required to be restored by Holder pursuant to a court order or judgment (whether or not final or non-appealable), as though such amount had not been paid. The rights of Holder created or granted herein and the enforceability of the Loan Documents at all times shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, remain effective to cover the full amount of the Loan even though the Loan, including any part thereof or any other security or guaranty therefor, may be or hereafter may become invalid or otherwise unenforceable as against any other party and whether or not any other party shall have any personal liability with respect thereto.

Borrower and Holder, by acceptance of this Note, hereby agree that the Loan Documents supersede any prior oral or written agreements of the parties; without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event of conflict between the terms of this Note and the terms of the Loan Agreement, the terms of the Loan Agreement shall prevail.

Time is of the essence for the performance of each and every covenant of the parties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. No excuse, delay, act of God, or other reason, whether or not within the control of Borrower or Holder (as the case may be), shall operate to defer, reduce or waive Borrower’s or Holder’s (as the case may be) performance of any such covenant or obligation.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower, intending to be legally bound hereby, has duly executed this Note the day and year first above written.

THIS GUARANTY (this “Guaranty”), dated as of April 21, 2004, is made and entered into by LEXICON GENETICS INCORPORATED, a Delaware corporation (“Guarantor”), in favor of iSTAR FINANCIAL INC., a Maryland corporation (“Lender”), with an address for notice hereunder of 1114 Avenue of the Americas, 27^th Floor, New York, New York 10036.

WHEREAS, Lex-Gen Woodlands, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Borrower”), and Lender have entered into a certain Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith (as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”).

WHEREAS, Lender has required, as a condition to making the Loan and entering into and executing the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, that Guarantor enter into this Guaranty.

WHEREAS, Guarantor directly or indirectly owns all of the ownership interests in the Borrower and will benefit from the making of the Loan and the financial accommodations extended to Borrower pursuant to the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration for the extension of credit and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, and to induce Lender to extend credit to Borrower, Guarantor does hereby unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably guarantee to Lender, its successors and assigns, the due payment, fulfillment and performance of the “Guaranteed Obligations” (as hereinafter defined). Guarantor, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally covenants and agrees that it is liable for and shall pay, the Guaranteed Obligations as primary obligor, this Guaranty being upon the following terms and conditions:

1.Definitions. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Loan Agreement. As used herein, the term “Guaranteed Obligations” means the full, complete and punctual observance, performance, payment and satisfaction of all of the Borrower’s Obligations. The failure by Guarantor to pay or perform any Guaranteed Obligations, after expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods provided to Borrower, without duplication thereof, or any other covenant, agreement or obligation of Guarantor under this Guaranty or the inaccuracy when made, or deemed made, of any representations, certifications and warranties of Guarantor in this Guaranty or in any certificate, agreement or document provided by, or on behalf of Guarantor, pursuant to this Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents shall constitute an “Event of Default” for purposes of this Guaranty and the Loan Agreement.

2.Continuing Guaranty. This is an irrevocable, absolute, continuing guaranty of payment and performance. This Guaranty may not be revoked by Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations arising or created after any attempted revocation by Guarantor and after Guarantor’s dissolution (in which event this Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor’s successors and assigns). It is the intent of Guarantor that the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor hereunder are absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and that until the Guaranteed Obligations are fully, finally and indefeasibly satisfied, such obligations and liabilities shall not be discharged or released in whole or in part, by any act or occurrence which might, but for the provisions of this Guaranty, be deemed a legal or equitable discharge or release of Guarantor. Each and every default in payment of any amounts due or performance of any obligation required under this Guaranty shall give rise to a separate cause of action hereunder, and separate suits may be brought hereunder as each cause of action arises, or, in the discretion of Lender, may be brought as a consolidated suit or suits.

3.Waivers.

(a)Guarantor hereby assents to all terms and agreements heretofore or hereafter made by Borrower with Lender, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, waives notice of:

(i)Any loans or advances made by Lender to Borrower under the Loan Documents;

(ii)The present existence or future incurring of any of the indebtedness pursuant to the Note or any future modifications thereof or any terms or amounts thereof or any Guaranteed Obligations or any terms or amounts thereof;

(iii)The obtaining or release of any guaranty or surety agreement (in addition to this Guaranty), pledge, assignment, or other security for any of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, or any Guaranteed Obligations; and

(iv)Notice of protest, default, notice of intent to accelerate and notice of acceleration in relation to any instrument relating to the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or any Guaranteed Obligations.

(b)Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any rights and defenses which such Guarantor might have as a result of any representation, warranty or statement made by Lender or its agents to such Guarantor in order to induce Guarantor to execute this Guaranty.

(c)Regardless of whether Guarantor may have made any payments to Lender, until the Loan is indefeasibly paid in full and except as set forth in Section 10 hereof, Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (i) all rights of subrogation, indemnification, contribution and any other rights to collect reimbursement from Borrower or any other party for any sums paid to Lender, whether contractual or arising by operation of law (including the United States Bankruptcy Code or any successor or similar statute) or otherwise, (ii) all rights to enforce any remedy that Lender may have against Borrower, and (iii) all rights to participate in any security now or later to be held by Lender for the Loan.

(d)Guarantor further waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any defense to the recovery by Lender against Guarantor of any deficiency or otherwise to the enforcement of this Guaranty or any security for this Guaranty based upon Lender’s election of any remedy against Guarantor or Borrower, including the defense to enforcement of this Guaranty by virtue of any “anti-deficiency” statutes and their application following a non-judicial foreclosure sale.

4.Events and Circumstances Not Reducing or Discharging Guarantor’s Obligations. Guarantor hereby consents and agrees to each of the following, and agrees that Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty shall not be released, diminished, impaired, reduced or adversely affected by any of the following, and waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any rights and defenses (excluding the rights to notice, if any, as herein provided or as required by law) which Guarantor might have otherwise as a result of or in connection with any of the following:

(a)any and all extensions, modifications, adjustments, indulgences, forbearances or compromises that might be granted or given by Lender to Borrower, including, without limitation, any and all amendments, modifications, supplements, extensions or restatements of any of the Loan Documents;

(b)the insolvency, bankruptcy, rearrangement, adjustment, composition, liquidation, disability, dissolution or lack of power of Borrower or any other party at any time liable for the payment of all or part of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or any Guaranteed Obligations; or any dissolution,

consolidation or merger of Borrower or Guarantor, or any sale, lease or transfer of any or all of the assets of Borrower or Guarantor, or any changes in the ownership, partners or members of Borrower or Guarantor;

(c)the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or any Guaranteed Obligations, or any document or agreement executed in connection with the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or any Guaranteed Obligations, for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, the fact that the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, or any part thereof exceeds the amount permitted by law, the act of creating the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or any Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof is ultra vires, the representatives executing the Note or the other Loan Documents or otherwise creating the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or any Guaranteed Obligations acted in excess of their authority, the indebtedness evidenced by the Note violates applicable usury laws, Borrower has valid defenses, claims or offsets (whether at law, in equity or by agreement) which render the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or any Guaranteed Obligations wholly or partially uncollectible from Borrower, the creation, performance or repayment of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or any Guaranteed Obligations is illegal, uncollectible, legally impossible or unenforceable, or any of the other Loan Documents pertaining to the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or any Guaranteed Obligations are irregular or not genuine or authentic; provided, however, the foregoing shall not prohibit Guarantor from (i) asserting a defense of performance, (ii) asserting a compulsory counterclaim on an action brought under this Guaranty, or (iii) subject to the remaining terms of the Loan Documents, bringing a separate action against Lender for breaches of Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents;

(d)the taking or accepting of any other security, collateral or guaranty, or other assurance of the payment, for all or any of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or any Guaranteed Obligations;

(e)any release, surrender or exchange of any collateral, property or security, at any time existing in connection with, or assuring or securing payment of, all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or the Guaranteed Obligations;

(f)the failure of Lender or any other party to exercise diligence or reasonable care in the preservation, protection, enforcement, sale or other handling or treatment of all or any part of such collateral, property or security;

(g)the fact that any collateral, security, security interest or lien contemplated or intended to be given, created or granted as security for the repayment of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or Guaranteed Obligations shall not be properly perfected or created, or shall prove to be unenforceable or subordinate to any other security interest or lien, it being recognized and agreed by Guarantor that Guarantor is not entering into this Guaranty in reliance on, or in contemplation of the benefits of, the validity, enforceability, collectibility or value of any of the collateral for the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or the Guaranteed Obligations; or

(h)any payment by Borrower to Lender is held to constitute a preference under the Bankruptcy Code, or for any reason Lender is required to refund such payment or pay such amounts to such Borrower, or any other Person.

It is the unambiguous and unequivocal intention of Guarantor that Guarantor shall be obligated to pay and perform the Guaranteed Obligations when due, notwithstanding any occurrence, circumstance, event, action or omission whatsoever, whether contemplated or uncontemplated, and whether or not otherwise or particularly described herein, except for the full and final payment and satisfaction of all Guaranteed Obligations.

5.Payment by Guarantor. If the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, are not punctually paid or performed (following the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods), as the case may be,

Guarantor shall, immediately on demand and without protest or notice of protest, pay the amount due thereon to Lender, at its address set forth above or as otherwise designated by Lender. Such demand(s) may be made at any time coincident with or after the time for payment or performance of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations. Such demand shall be deemed made if given in accordance with Section 18 hereof. It shall not be necessary for Lender, in order to enforce such payment or performance by Guarantor, first to institute suit or exhaust its remedies against Borrower, or others liable to pay or perform such Guaranteed Obligations, or to enforce its rights against any security which shall ever have been given to secure the Guaranteed Obligations. Lender shall not be required to mitigate damages or take any other action to reduce, collect or enforce the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or Guaranteed Obligations.

6.Indebtedness or Other Obligations of Guarantor. If Guarantor is or becomes liable for any indebtedness owed by Borrower to Lender by endorsement or otherwise than under this Guaranty, such liability shall not be in any manner impaired or affected by this Guaranty, and the rights of Lender hereunder shall be cumulative of any and all other rights that Lender may ever have against Guarantor. The exercise by Lender of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other instrument or at law or in equity shall not preclude the concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other instrument or remedy at law or in equity and shall not preclude the concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other right or remedy. Further, without in any way diminishing or limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is specifically understood and agreed that this Guaranty is given by Guarantor as an additional guaranty to any and all guarantees hereafter executed and delivered to Lender by Guarantor in favor of Lender relating to the indebtedness and obligations of Borrower to Lender, and nothing herein shall ever be deemed to replace or be in lieu of any other of such previous or subsequent guarantees.

7.Application of Payments. If, at any time, there is any indebtedness or obligations (or any portion thereof) of Borrower to Lender which is not guaranteed by Guarantor, Lender, without in any manner impairing its rights hereunder, may, at its option, apply all amounts realized by Lender from collateral or security held by Lender first to the payment of such unguaranteed indebtedness or obligations, with the remaining amounts, if any, to then be applied to the payment of the indebtedness or obligations guaranteed by Guarantor.

8.Suits, Releases of Settlements with Others. Guarantor agrees that Lender, in its sole discretion, may bring suit against any other guarantor without impairing the rights of Lender or its successors and assigns against Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; and Lender may settle or compromise with such other guarantor for such sum or sums as Lender may see fit and release such other guarantor from all further liability to Lender, all without impairing its rights against Guarantor.

9.Warranties, Representations and Covenants.

(a)Guarantor warrants and represents, as follows:

(i)Guarantor has received, or will receive, direct or indirect benefit from the making of this Guaranty, the making of the Loan and the entering into and execution of the Loan Agreement and the Loan Documents in connection therewith;

(ii)Guarantor is familiar with, and has independently reviewed the financial condition of the Borrower and is familiar with the value of any and all collateral intended to be created as security for the payment and performance of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note and the Guaranteed Obligations, and Guarantor assumes full responsibility for keeping fully informed as to such matters in the future; however, Guarantor is not relying on such financial condition or the collateral as an inducement to enter into this Guaranty; and

(iii)All financial statements concerning Guarantor which have been or will hereafter be furnished by Guarantor or Borrower to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, have been or will be prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied (except as disclosed therein, to the extent Lender approves such disclosure; provided that Lender’s approval shall not be required so long as (a) Guarantor is a reporting company under the Exchange Act, and (b) Guarantor’s financial statements are audited by a so-called “Big-4” accounting firm) and, in all material respects, present fairly the financial condition of the Persons covered thereby as at the dates thereof and the results of their operations for the periods then ended.

(iv)No ERISA Affiliate of Guarantor maintains or contributes to, or has any obligation under, any Employee Benefit Plans. Guarantor is not an “employee benefit plan” (within the meaning of section 3(3) of ERISA) to which ERISA applies and Guarantor’s assets do not constitute plan assets. No actions, suits or claims under any laws and regulations promulgated pursuant to ERISA are pending or, to Guarantor’s knowledge, threatened against Guarantor. Guarantor has no knowledge of any material liability incurred by Guarantor which remains unsatisfied for any taxes or penalties with respect to any employee benefit plan or any Multiemployer Plan, or of any lien which has been imposed on Guarantor’s assets pursuant to section 412 of the Code or sections 302 or 4068 of ERISA. The Loan, the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated by this Guaranty do not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Code. Guarantor is an “operating company” as defined in ERISA.

(v)As of the date hereof, and after giving effect to this Guaranty and the contingent obligations evidenced hereby, Guarantor is and expects to be solvent at all times, and has and expects to have assets at all times which, fairly valued, exceed his or its obligations, liabilities and debts, and has and expects to have property and assets at all times sufficient to satisfy and repay its obligations and liabilities.

(b)Guarantor covenants and agrees that, for so long as this Guaranty remains in effect, Guarantor shall not liquidate, wind-up or dissolve itself (or suffer any liquidation or dissolution).

10.Subordination. If, for any reason Borrower is now or hereafter becomes indebted to Guarantor (such indebtedness and all interest thereon being referred to as the “Affiliated Debt”), such Affiliated Debt shall, at all times, be subordinate in all respects to the full payment and performance of the obligations evidenced by the Note, and Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or receive payment thereof until all of the obligations evidenced by the Note have been fully paid. Guarantor agrees that any liens, mortgages, deeds of trust, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Borrower’s assets securing payment of the Affiliated Debt shall be and remain subordinate and inferior to any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charge or other encumbrances upon Borrower’s assets securing the payment of the obligations evidenced by the Note and Guaranteed Obligations, and without the prior written consent of Lender, Guarantor shall not exercise or enforce any creditor’s rights of any nature against Borrower to collect the Affiliated Debt (other than demand payment therefor). In the event of the receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief or other insolvency proceedings involving Borrower as a debtor, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Lender shall have the right and authority, either in its own name or as attorney-in-fact for Guarantor, to file such proof of debt claim, petition or other documents and to take such other steps as are necessary to prove its rights hereunder.

11.Waiver of Subrogation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty to the contrary, until the Loan is indefeasibly paid in full, Guarantor hereby waives any claim or other rights which Guarantor may now have or hereafter acquire against Borrower or any other guarantor of all or any of the obligations that arise from the existence or performance of Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty (all such claims and rights are referred to as “Guarantor’s Conditional Rights”), including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, or indemnification, any right to participate in any

claim or remedy of Lender against Borrower or any security or collateral which Lender now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute (including the Bankruptcy Code or any successor or similar statute) or common law, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, including without limitation, the right to take or receive from Borrower, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any amount shall be paid to Guarantor on account of Guarantor’s Conditional Rights and either (i) such amount is paid to Guarantor at any time when the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid or performed in full, or (ii) regardless of when such amount is paid to Guarantor, any payment made by Borrower to Lender is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid by Lender or paid over to a trustee, receiver or any other entity, whether under any bankruptcy act or otherwise (such payment, a “Preferential Payment”), then such amount paid to Guarantor shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lender and shall forthwith be paid to Lender to be credited and applied upon the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine. The foregoing waivers shall be effective until the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid and performed in full.

12.Impairment of Subrogation Rights; Waivers of Rights Under the Anti-Deficiency Rules.

(a)Guarantor agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Loan Documents, Lender in its sole discretion, without prior notice to or consent of Guarantor, may elect to (i) foreclose either nonjudicially or judicially against any real or personal property security (including, without limitation, the Mortgaged Property) it holds for the obligations evidenced by the Note or any Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, (ii) accept any transfer or assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, (iii) compromise or adjust any part of such obligations, or (iv) make any other accommodation with Borrower or Guarantor, or exercise any other remedy against Borrower or any collateral or security. No such action by Lender will release or limit the liability of Guarantor to Lender, who shall remain liable under this Guaranty after the action, even if the effect of that action is to deprive Guarantor of the right to collect reimbursement from Borrower or any other person for any sums paid to Lender or Guarantor’s rights of subrogation, contribution, or indemnity against Borrower or any other person. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that on any foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure of any collateral or security held by Lender, such security will no longer exist and that any right that Guarantor might otherwise have, on full payment of the Guaranteed Obligations by Guarantor to Lender, to participate in any such security or to be subrogated to any rights of Lender with respect to any such security will be nonexistent; nor shall Guarantor be deemed to have any right, title, interest or claim under any circumstances in or to any real or personal property held by Lender or any third party following any foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure of any such security.

(b)Guarantor understands and acknowledges that if Lender forecloses judicially or nonjudicially against any real property security for Borrower’s obligations, such foreclosure could impair or destroy any right or ability that Guarantor may have to seek reimbursement, contribution, or indemnification for any amounts paid by Guarantor under this Guaranty.

(c)Without limiting the foregoing, Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Lender, even though that election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, may adversely affect Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against Borrower.

(d)Guarantor intentionally, freely, irrevocably and unconditionally waives and relinquishes, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all rights which may be available to it under any provision of applicable law to limit the amount of any deficiency judgment or other judgment which may be obtained against Guarantor under this Guaranty to not more than the amount by which the unpaid

Guaranteed Obligations plus all other indebtedness due from Borrower under the Loan Documents exceeds the fair market value or fair value of any real or personal property securing said obligations and any other indebtedness due from Borrower under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all rights to an appraisement of, judicial or other hearing on, or other determination of the value of said property. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that, as a result of the foregoing waiver, Lender may be entitled to recover from Guarantor an amount which, when combined with the value of any real or personal property foreclosed upon by Lender (or the proceeds of the sale of which have been received by Lender) and any sums collected by Lender from Borrower or other Persons, might exceed the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations plus all other indebtedness due from Borrower under the Loan Documents.

(e)Guarantor understands and agrees that Lender may have the ability to pursue Guarantor for a judgment on the Guaranteed Obligations without having first foreclosed on the real property security for such Guaranteed Obligations, that Lender may have the ability to sue Guarantor for a deficiency judgment on the Guaranteed Obligations after a non-judicial foreclosure sale or, regardless of any election of remedies by Lender, if the Guaranteed Obligations or any of the other indebtedness of Borrower to Lender under the Loan Documents is considered to have been provided by a vendor to a buyer and to evidence part of the purchase price for the real property security, and that Lender may be able to recover from Borrower an amount which, when combined with the fair market value of the property acquired by Lender in a foreclosure sale or the proceeds of the foreclosure sale received by Lender, might exceed the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations due and owing by Guarantor and the amounts payable under the Loan Documents.

(f)Without limiting any of the other waivers and provisions set forth in this Guaranty, Guarantor waives all rights and defenses that Guarantor may have because Borrower’s debt is secured by real property; this means, among other things: (a) Lender may collect from Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by Borrower; (b) the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price; (c) Lender may collect from Guarantor even if Lender, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right Guarantor may have to collect from Borrower. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Guarantor may have because the indebtedness evidenced by the Note is secured by real property.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provisions of Section 12(a) hereof, nothing contained in this Guaranty shall in any way be deemed to imply that any other state’s law other than the law of the State of New York shall govern this Guaranty or any of the Loan Documents in any respect, except as expressly set forth therein, including with respect to the exercise of Lender’s remedies under the Loan Documents.

Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, upon the indefeasible payment in full of the Note, Guarantor shall have all rights of subrogation available at law or in equity.

13.Benefit. This Guaranty is for the benefit of Lender, its successors and assigns, and in the event of an assignment by Lender, its successors and assigns, of the obligations evidenced by the Note, or any part or parts thereof, the rights and benefits hereunder, to the extent applicable to the obligations so assigned, shall be transferred with such obligations.

14.No Release if Preference, Refund, Etc. In the event any payment by Borrower to Lender is determined to be a preferential payment under any applicable bankruptcy or insolvency laws, or if for any reason Lender is required to refund part or all of any payment or pay the amount thereof to any other party, such repayment by Lender to Borrower shall not constitute a release of Guarantor from any liability hereunder, and Guarantor agrees to pay such amount to Lender upon demand to the extent such amount constitutes a Guaranteed Obligation.

15.Right of Set-Off. In addition to any other rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon Guarantor’s failure to pay the Guaranteed Obligations, after demand by Lender, Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to Guarantor or to any other person, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by Lender to or for the credit or the account of Guarantor against or on account of the obligations evidenced by the Note.

16.Consent to Use of Logo. Guarantor hereby consents to the use by Lender of Guarantor’s logo, solely for the purpose specified, and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth, in Section 11.12 of the Loan Agreement.

17.GOVERNING LAW. PURSUANT TO SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, GUARANTOR AGREES THAT THIS GUARANTY AND ALL RIGHTS, OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

GUARANTOR ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTY AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS AND WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTY, THE NOTE, SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR SUCH OBLIGATION. GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING WILL BE DEEMED EFFECTIVE. SERVICE OF PROCESS ON GUARANTOR IF PERSONALLY SERVED OR SERVED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 17 ABOVE OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS AS SUCH GUARANTOR MAY HAVE FURNISHED AS TO ITSELF TO THE SERVING PARTY BY LIKE NOTICE, OR TO THE LAST KNOWN ADDRESS OF SUCH GUARANTOR PROVIDED THEREUNDER.

GUARANTOR AND LENDER ALSO WAIVE ANY BOND OR SURETY OR SECURITY UPON SUCH BOND WHICH MIGHT, BUT FOR THIS WAIVER, BE REQUIRED OF GUARANTOR OR LENDER.

GUARANTOR AND LENDER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THE WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS GUARANTY AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THE WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. GUARANTOR AND LENDER FURTHER WARRANT AND REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THE WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS GUARANTY, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOAN. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS GUARANTY MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.
