Section 2.1 Loan Commitment: Disbursement to Borrower: Prepayment.
(A) The Loan. Subject to, and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Lender hereby agrees to make the Loan to Borrower on the Closing Date, in the Loan Amount, which Loan will mature on the Maturity Date.
(B) Disbursement to Borrower. Borrower may request and receive only one borrowing in respect of the Loan, which will not be subject to future advances and any amount borrowed and repaid in respect of the Loan may not be reborrowed. Borrower shall, on the Closing Date, receive the Loan Amount, subject to the direction given by Borrower as to the application of Loan proceeds.

The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note (made in the Loan Amount) and evidenced or secured by the other Loan Documents executed and delivered in connection with the Loan. The Note shall bear interest as provided in the Note, and shall be subject to the payment of interest and the repayment and prepayment of the Indebtedness as provided for herein. The Note shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents given to further secure the Loan.
(D) Make Whole Premium In the event an Event of Default and acceleration occur, Borrower shall pay to Lender a Make Whole Premium. The Make Whole Premium shall be the greater of one percent (1%) of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan or a premium calculated as provided in subparagraphs (i)-(iii) below:

From and after such date, provided there is no Event of Default, the principal balance of the Note may be prepaid, at par, in whole but not in part, upon: (a) not less than 15 days prior written notice to Lender specifying the date on which prepayment is to be made, which prepayment must occur no later than the fifth day of any such month unless Borrower pays to Lender all interest that would have accrued for the entire month in which the Note is prepaid absent such prepayment. If prepayment occurs on a date other than a scheduled monthly payment date, Borrower shall make the scheduled monthly payment in accordance with the terms of the Note, regardless of any prepayment; (b) payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Note to and including the date on which prepayment is to be made; and (c) payment of all other Indebtedness then due under the Loan Documents.

Section 5.2. Reserves and Cash Management.
(A) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall deposit with and pay to Lender, on each payment date specified in the Note, sums calculated by Lender for
15
payment of: (i) the estimated taxes and assessments assessed or levied against the Premises, and (ii) the estimated premiums for insurance required by the Loan Documents, excluding commercial general liability insurance (collectively, the Tax and Insurance Escrows). Lender shall use the Tax and Insurance Escrows to pay the taxes, assessments and premiums when the same become due. Borrower agrees it is liable for any taxes, assessments and/or insurance premiums identified as being paid for by Borrower on Lenders written Tax and Insurance Escrow analysis previously provided to Borrower and Borrower agrees to make any such payments when the same become due. Borrower shall procure and deliver to Lender, in advance, statements for such charges. If the total payments made by Borrower under this Section exceed the amount of payments actually made by Lender for taxes, assessments and insurance premiums, such excess shall be credited by Lender on subsequent deposits to be made by Borrower.

If at any time Borrower shall tender to Lender, in accordance with the provisions of the Note and the other Loan Documents, full payment of the entire Indebtedness, Lender shall, in computing the amount of such Indebtedness, credit to the account of Borrower any balance remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrows. If there is an Event of Default resulting in a public sale of the Premises, or if Lender otherwise acquires the Premises after an Event of Default, Lender shall apply, at the time of commencement of such proceedings, or at the time the Premises is otherwise acquired, the then remaining balance in the Tax and Insurance Escrows as a credit toward any delinquent or accrued taxes and then, in such priority as Lender elects, to the other Indebtedness.
Section 5.3 Security Agreement.
(A) Pledge of Accounts. To secure the full and punctual payment and performance of all of the Indebtedness, Borrower hereby assigns, conveys, pledges and transfers to Lender and grants to Lender a first and continuing lien on and security interest in and to all of Borrowers right, title and interest in (i) the Tax and Insurance Escrows; (ii) all funds from time to time deposited or held in any of the foregoing, all investments made with respect thereto and all interest, if any, earned thereon; (iii) all other amounts required under the Loan Documents to be deposited with and/or held by Lender, including but not limited to insurance proceeds and proceeds payable to Borrower pursuant to a Taking; and (iv) to the extent not covered by the clauses (i)(iii) above, all products and proceeds of any or all of the foregoing (collectively, the Account Collateral). Borrower agrees that the Account Collateral shall not constitute any deposit or account of the Borrower or moneys to which the Borrower is entitled upon demand, or upon the mere passage of time or sums to which Borrower is entitled to any interest or crediting of interest by virtue of Lenders mere possession of such deposits. Lender shall not be required to segregate any Account Collateral and may hold such deposits in its general account or any other account and may commingle such deposits with any other moneys of Lender or moneys which Lender is holding on behalf of any other person or entity.
16

Lender may forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant, investor in such Securitization Transaction or any Rating Agency (as hereinafter defined) rating such Securitization Transaction (collectively, the Investor) and each prospective Investor and the advisor of each of the foregoing, all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Indebtedness and to Borrower, Guarantor, and the Premises, whether furnished by Borrower, Guarantor or otherwise, as Lender determines necessary or desirable.

(C) Lender agrees that any costs and expenses incurred by Lender under this Section 5.5 shall be the responsibility of and paid for by Lender.
Section 5.6 Insurance Requirements. Borrower shall at all times keep or cause to be kept in full force and effect the insurance required by the Mortgage.
Section 5.7 Management; of Premises. If the Premises are managed by Borrower or an affiliate of Borrower, then upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may request, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Borrower, that Borrower select a successor manager not affiliated with Borrower to manage the Premises. If a successor manager is required pursuant hereto, Borrower shall immediately seek to appoint a successor manager acceptable to Lender in Lenders reasonable discretion which successor manager shall be a reputable management company having at least seven (7) years experience in the management of commercial properties with similar uses as the Premises and in the jurisdiction in which the Premises is located and shall not be paid management fees in excess of fees which are market fees in the surrounding geographic area.
