2.1 General Provisions Regarding Loan and Borrowing Procedures.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Lenders agree to make the Loan to the Borrower, which Loan shall be in the amount of the Commitment and the Loan shall be disbursed to the Borrower in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(b) The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note and secured by the Deed of Trust and the other Collateral Documents.

(c) If funding does not occur within three (3) Business Days of the Closing Date, then the Borrower shall give the Lenders notice (which notice must be received by the

Agent prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the anticipated disbursement date) requesting that the Lenders make the advance of Loan Proceeds on the disbursement date and specifying the amount to be borrowed.

(d) The Borrower shall reimburse the Agent for all costs and expenses associated with the Loan including, but not limited to, the fees and disbursements of Loeb & Loeb LLP (outside legal counsel to the Agent), recording fees and title insurance premiums.

(e) The purpose of the Loan is to refinance the existing debt on the Property. Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to investigate the use of Loan Proceeds.

2.2 Interest Rates. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then, until such Event of Default is cured, the Lenders shall have the option to convert any Libor Loan to an Alternate Rate Loan effective upon notice to the Borrower in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in this Agreement, and thereafter, if the Lenders elect to exercise such option, the interest rate on such Loan shall be the Alternate Rate.

2.3 Principal and Interest and Late Payments.

(a) Interest on the unpaid Principal Balance computed from the date of disbursement of the Loan to the Borrower until repaid, whether computed at the Alternate Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate, shall accrue from the date of disbursement and shall be payable monthly in arrears on the applicable Interest Payment Date until the Note is repaid in full. If the Borrower requests a disbursement of Loan Proceeds to an escrow in connection with its refinancing of the Property, the Borrower agrees to pay interest from the date the Loan Proceeds are disbursed by the Lenders to escrow regardless of when the funds are actually disbursed by escrow to the Borrower or for the Borrower’s benefit.

(b) If not sooner paid, the Principal Balance shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date as the same may be accelerated pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents.

(c) Should any installment of principal or interest or any fee or cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document not be paid when due, it shall thereafter bear interest, at the option of Agent, at the Alternate Rate unless pursuant to the terms of this Agreement the Default Rate applies, in which event the Default Rate shall apply.

2.4 Late Payment Premium and Default Rate.

(a) Borrower shall pay to Agent a late payment premium in the amount of 5% of any payments of regular monthly principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under the Loan Documents made more than five (5) days after the due date thereof, which late payment premium shall be due with any such late payment; provided, however, such late payment premium shall not apply unless Borrower has received written notice from Agent that such payment has not been received and such payment is not thereafter received within two (2) Business Days after receipt of said written notice by Borrower.

(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all amounts outstanding under the Loan, whether principal, interest, fees or other amounts, shall bear interest at the Default Rate until all such amounts are paid in full.

2.5 Computation of Interest and Fees. All interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed, including the first day and excluding the last day. If a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made one (1) day’s interest shall be paid on such Loan as well as any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.6. Any change in the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Rate shall be effective as of the day on which such change in rate occurs. Each determination of an interest rate by Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower in the absence of manifest error.

2.6 Breakage Costs. Borrower agrees to compensate Lenders for any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of (a) a default by Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of a Libor Loan after Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) a default by Borrower in making any prepayment after Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, or (c) the making of a prepayment of a Libor Loan on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto.

2.7 Continuation Options. Any Libor Loan may be continued upon the expiration date of its then current Interest Period by the Borrower pursuant to a Rate Request, provided that no Libor Loan may be continued: (i) when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Agent has determined that such a continuation is not appropriate or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the Maturity Date. If Borrower fails to submit a Rate Request to Agent in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, Agent shall continue the outstanding Libor Loan automatically as a one month Libor Loan.

2.8 Minimum Amounts and Maximum Number of Interest Periods. All borrowings, conversions and continuations of the Loan and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of each LIBOR Loan shall be at least equal to $10,000,000. No more than three (3) Libor Loan Interest Periods may be outstanding at any time under this Agreement and the Note.

2.9 Unavailability. In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two (2) Business Days prior to the expiration of any Interest Period, the Agent shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that U.S. Dollar deposits, in an amount approximately equal to the portion of the Principal Balance which is to bear interest at a particular Adjusted LIBO Rate during a particular Interest Period in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, are not generally available at such time in the London interbank market, or reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such particular Interest Period, the Agent shall so notify the Borrower, and the interest rate applicable to the portion of the Principal Balance with respect to which such Adjusted LIBO Rate was to pertain shall automatically convert to the Alternate Rate as of the impending expiration date of an Interest Period, it being agreed that the Alternate Rate shall remain in effect

thereafter with respect to such portion of the Principal Balance unless and until the Agent shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that the aforesaid circumstances no longer exist, whereupon the interest rate applicable to such portion of the Principal Balance shall be converted back to an Adjusted LIBO Rate determined in the manner hereinabove set forth in this Agreement effective as of the first day of the month which commences three (3) Business Days or more after such good faith determination by the Agent.

2.10 Illegality. If any change in any Law or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Agency charged with the administration or interpretation thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain a Libor Loan with respect to the Principal Balance or any portion thereof or to fund the Principal Balance or any portion thereof at an Adjusted LIBO Rate in the London interbank market or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated by this Agreement, then, upon notice by the Agent to the Borrower in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in this Agreement, the interest rate applicable to such portion of the Principal Balance shall be automatically converted to the Alternate Rate, it being agreed that any notice given by the Agent to the Borrower pursuant to this sentence shall, such change in Law or interpretation permitting, be effective in so far as it pertains to any particular portion of the Principal Balance bearing interest at a particular Adjusted LIBO Rate on the impending expiration date of an Interest Period pertaining to such particular portion of the Principal Balance, or shall, such change not so permitting, be effective immediately upon notice being given by the Agent to the Borrower, and that the Alternate Rate shall thereafter remain in effect with respect to such portion of the Principal Balance unless and until the affected Lender shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that the aforesaid circumstances no longer exist, whereupon the interest rate applicable to such portion of the Principal Balance shall be converted to an Adjusted LIBO Rate determined in the manner hereinabove set forth in this Agreement effective three (3) Business Days after such good faith determination by the affected Lender. If the interest rate applicable to any portion of the Principal Balance is converted from an Adjusted LIBO Rate to the Alternate Rate on a date other than the expiration date of the applicable Interest Period in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent on demand an amount equal to the breakage fees, if any, which would have been due pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.6 above if the portion of the Principal Balance bearing interest at such Adjusted LIBO Rate was prepaid in full on the date of such conversion.

2.11 Increased Costs. The Borrower recognizes that the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining Libor Loans with respect to the Principal Balance or any portion thereof, may fluctuate, and, subject to the terms of Section 5.9 hereof, the Borrower agrees to pay the Agent within ten (10) days after demand by the Agent an additional amount or amounts as the affected Lender shall reasonably determine will compensate said Lender for additional costs incurred by said Lender in maintaining Libor Loans on the Principal Balance or any portion thereof as a result of:

(a) the imposition after the date of this Agreement of, or changes after the date of this Agreement in, the Reserve Requirements and irrespective of whether the affected Lenders actually maintain all or any portion of such reserve; or

(b) any change, after the date of this Agreement, in applicable Law or in the interpretation or administration thereof, by any Governmental Agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of Law), changing the basis of taxation of any payments to the affected Lenders under this Agreement, the Note, the Deed of Trust or the other Loan Documents (other than taxes imposed on all or any portion of the overall net income of the affected Lenders by any state or country or by any political subdivision or taxing authority), or imposing, modifying or applying any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds for loans by the affected Lenders or imposing on the affected Lenders, or on the London interbank market, any other condition affecting this Agreement, the Note, the Deed of Trust or the other Loan Documents or the portion of the Principal Balance bearing interest at an Adjusted LIBO Rate so as to increase the cost to the affected Lenders of making or maintaining a Libor Loan with respect to the Principal Balance or any portion thereof or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the affected Lenders under this Agreement, the Note, the Deed of Trust or the other Loan Documents (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), by an amount deemed by the affected Lenders in good faith to be material, but without duplication for payments required under subparagraph (a) above.

Any amount or amounts payable by the Borrower to the Agent pursuant to subparagraphs (a) or (b) of this Section 2.11 shall be paid by the Borrower to the Agent within ten (10) days of receipt by the Borrower from the Agent of a statement setting forth the amount or amounts due and the basis for the determination from time to time of such amount or amounts, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower provided such determinations are made on a reasonable basis. Failure on the part of the Agent to demand compensation for any increased costs in any Interest Period shall not constitute a waiver of the Agent’s right to demand compensation for any increased costs incurred during any such Interest Period or in any other subsequent or prior Interest Period.

2.12 Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower may from time to time prepay the Loan, in whole or in part, provided that the Borrower gives the Agent a facsimile notice: (a) at least thirty (30) days prior to the prepayment date to the effect that Borrower is considering prepayment of the Loan and (b) at least four (4) Business Days prior to the prepayment date, the date upon which prepayment is to occur. The Borrower shall specify in the second notice: (i) the date and amount of the prepayment; (ii) in the case of a prepayment of a Libor Loan the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to the Libor Loan; and (iii) that its election to make the prepayment is irrevocable. Prepayment of all or a portion of the Loan may be made in accordance with this Section 2.12 provided, that: (1) the Principal Amount prepaid is not less than $1,000,000 and in multiples of $100,000; (2) all accrued and unpaid interest to and including the date of such prepayment on the amount being prepaid is then paid; (3) any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.6 above are then paid; (4) if the prepayment occurs during the first year of the term of the Loan, Borrower shall pay to Agent a prepayment premium equal to one percent (1%) of the amount being prepaid; (5) if the prepayment occurs during the second year of the term of the Loan, Borrower shall pay to Agent a prepayment premium equal to one-half percent (.5%) of the amount being prepaid; and (6) all fees and expenses (including, but not limited to the fees and expenses of Agent’s attorneys) incurred by Agent in connection with the Loan or in connection with the prepayment are then paid.

Agent hereby directs and Borrower hereby agrees that all payments under the Note shall be made by wire transfer to an account to be designated by Agent. All payments shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America.

(b) Each payment of any amount payable by the Borrower under this Agreement and/or any other Loan Document shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be made free and clear of, and without reduction by reason of, any charges imposed on the Lenders by any Governmental Agency, central bank or comparable authority.

(d) In the event Agent prefunds the principal or interest payments to the other Lenders prior to the actual receipt by Agent of a payment on the date due and Borrower fails to make such payment on the date due, Borrower shall reimburse Agent for any cost or damage suffered by Agent on account of the prefunding of such payments to the other Lenders on the date due.

(e) All payments by Borrower to Agent hereunder (other than payments under the Fee Letter, which payments are for the account of Agent) shall be made for the account of the Lenders as their interests shall appear.

2.14 Funding Sources. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Note shall be deemed to obligate the Lenders to obtain funds for the Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by the Lenders that they have obtained or will obtain the funds for the Loan in any particular place or manner.

2.15 Failure to Charge Not Subsequent Waiver. Any decision by the Agent not to require payment of any interest (including default interest), fee, cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document on any occasion shall in no way limit or be deemed a waiver of the right to require full payment of any other interest (including default interest), fee, cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document on any other or subsequent occasion.

The Borrower is duly qualified or registered to transact business in each other jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or the ownership or leasing of its properties makes such qualification or registration necessary. The Borrower has all requisite power and authority to conduct its business, to own and lease its properties and to execute, deliver and perform all of its Obligations under the Loan Documents. To the best knowledge of the Borrower, the Borrower is in substantial compliance with all Laws and other legal requirements applicable to its business, has obtained all material authorizations, consents, approvals, orders, licenses and permits from, and has accomplished all material filings, registrations and qualifications with, or obtained exemptions from any of the foregoing, from any Governmental Agency that is necessary for the transaction of its business.

To the best knowledge of the Borrower, neither the Borrower, the General Partners nor DERA are in default under any Law, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award by which it is bound, or under any material Contract, the violation or breach of which would have a Material Adverse Effect. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary action, and do not and will not:

4.4 Environmental and Industrial Hygiene Compliance. Neither the Borrower nor any Affiliate of the Borrower has received any notice from any Governmental Agency of any violation of any Environmental Law with respect to the Property. Except as disclosed in the reports heretofore delivered to Agent, to the best knowledge of Borrower, there has been no generation, manufacture, storage or disposal of Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no breach of representation or warranty shall be deemed to have occurred under this Section 4.4 solely on account of the existence of Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Property if the use and presence of such Hazardous Materials are usual and customary with respect to the use and operation of the Property by the Borrower, or any other user of the Property and such use and presence of Hazardous Materials is not a violation of any Law.

4.5 Financial Statements. The Borrower has furnished to the Agent the audited consolidated market value balance sheet of DERA as at December 31, 2000, and the unaudited balance sheets of Borrower, DERF and DERF2 as at September 30, 2001. Such balance sheets and statements fairly present the financial condition, results of operations and changes in financial position of the subjects thereof as at such dates and for such periods, in conformity with GAAP, consistently applied, as modified pursuant to Section 1.3 hereof.

4.6 No Other Liabilities; No Material Adverse Changes. The Borrower does not have any material liability or material Contingent Obligation other than liabilities and obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business. Neither DERF, DERF2 nor DERA have any material liability or material Contingent Obligation not reflected or disclosed in the Financial Statements or notes thereto. Since the date of the Financial Statements, neither the Borrower, DERF, DERF2 nor DERA has suffered any one or more changes in its condition (financial or otherwise) or its assets, properties, liabilities or prospects, which alone or in the aggregate would be materially adverse to the Borrower, DERF, DERF2 or DERA. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as disclosed in Schedule 4.6 attached hereto, since the date of the Financial Statements, there has not been any:

(a) Material Adverse Effect with respect to the business operations, properties, assets or the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, DERF, DERF2 and DERA, taken as a whole;

(b) Material transaction by the Borrower, DERF, DERF2 and DERA, except in the ordinary course of business, which, with respect to DERA, consists primarily of acquiring commercial real property and acting as the general partner of various investment partnerships, and with respect to the Borrower, DERF and DERF2, consists primarily of acquiring, leasing and operating commercial and multifamily residential real property;

4.7 Title to Property. To the best knowledge of the Borrower, good and valid title to the Property is vested in the Borrower, free and clear of all Liens, other than the Permitted Encumbrances and Liens permitted pursuant to Section 6.1. None of such Permitted

Encumbrances or Liens materially and adversely affect (a) the ability of the Borrower to pay in full the principal and interest on the Note in a timely manner or (b) the use of the Property for the use currently being made thereof, the operation of the Property as currently being operated or the value of the Property. Upon the execution by the Borrower of the Deed of Trust and the recording thereof, and upon the execution and filing of UCC-1 financing statements, the trustee under the Deed of Trust will have a valid first lien on the Property and a valid security interest in the Personal Property subject to no Liens other than the Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens permitted pursuant to Section 6.1.

4.8 Litigation. Except as disclosed in Schedule 4.8 attached hereto, there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower, DERF, DERF2 or DERA or any property of any of them, in any court of law or before any Governmental Agency involving potential exposure to the Borrower, DERF, DERF2 or DERA of $100,000 or more or, in the aggregate, involving potential exposure to the Borrower, DERF, DERF2 or DERA of $500,000 or more.

4.9 Binding Obligations.

4.10 ERISA.

(a) Except as disclosed in Schedule 4.10, there are no Plans;

(b) With respect to each Plan, if any, described in Schedule 4.10:

If requested by the Agent, the Borrower will furnish or will cause DERF, DERF2 and DERA to furnish the Agent with a statement or statements in conformity with the requirements of Federal Reserve Forms G-3 and/or U-1 referred to in Regulations G or U of said Board or Governors.

The Borrower is not (a) an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; (b) a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company” or an “affiliate” of either a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended; or (c) subject to any other federal or state law or regulation which purports to restrict or regulate its ability to borrow money. To the best knowledge of the Borrower, neither the Borrower, DERF, DERF2 nor DERA is or is required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

4.12 Disclosure. To the best knowledge of the Borrower, no written statement made by the Borrower, DERF, DERF2 or DERA to the Lenders in connection with this Agreement, or in connection with the Loan, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits a material fact necessary to make the statement made not misleading. To the best knowledge of the Borrower, there is no fact which the Borrower has not disclosed to the Agent in writing which materially and adversely affects the businesses, operations, properties, profits or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, DERF, DERF2 or DERA, or the ability of the Borrower to perform its Obligations.

4.13 Tax Matters. Except as disclosed in Schedule 4.13 attached hereto, the Borrower, DERF, DERF2 and DERA have duly filed, or caused to be filed, on a timely basis all appropriate foreign, federal, state and local tax returns and reports for income taxes, sales taxes, withholding taxes, employment taxes, property taxes, business taxes and all other tax returns of every kind whatsoever required to be filed in connection with the ownership, operations and businesses of the Borrower, DERF, DERF2 and DERA and all such tax returns and reports accurately reflect all taxes owing for the periods indicated. The Borrower, DERF, DERF2 and DERA have paid in full all taxes, interest, penalties, assessments or deficiencies shown to be due on such tax returns and reports, or claimed to be due by any such taxing authority, except for any such taxes as are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings. The charges, accruals and reserves on the Financial Statements in respect of taxes are, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, adequate.

4.14 Fiscal Year. The Borrower, DERF, DERF2 and DERA each operate on a fiscal year ending on December 31.

4.15 Insolvency and Related Matters. The Borrower, DERF, DERF2 and DERA are able to pay their debts as they mature, and have not (a) made any assignment for the benefit of

creditors; (b) admitted in writing their inability to pay their debts as they mature; (c) applied for or consented to the appointment of a receiver, trustee or similar official for their affairs; or (d) been the subject of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceeding, or any other proceeding for relief under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of debtors or benefit of creditors.

4.16 Intangible Assets. Except for restrictions upon use specified in the agreements whereby the Borrower, DERF, DERF2 or DERA has been granted the right to use an Intangible Asset, which agreements are set forth on Schedule 4.16 and which restrictions on use will not, individually or in the aggregate, impair the ability of the Borrower, DERF, DERF2, or DERA from continuing to conduct their businesses in the same manner as presently conducted, the Borrower, DERF, DERF2 and DERA own, or possess the unrestricted right to use, all trademarks, trade names, copyrights, patents, patent rights, licenses and other Intangible Assets that are used in the conduct of their businesses as now operated, and no such Intangible Asset, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, conflicts with the valid trademark, trade name, copyright, patent, patent right or Intangible Asset of any other Person to the extent that such conflict would have a Material Adverse Effect. Schedule 4.16 hereto constitutes a true and correct list of all of such Intangible Assets which are subject to restrictions.

4.17 Schedules. The foregoing representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in this Article 4 notwithstanding, the Borrower represents that the various exceptions listed in the Schedules referred to in this Article 4 and in Section 6.1 were current as of the date of the Borrower’s transmittal of the relevant Schedule to the Agent prior to the date hereof. Borrower believes, and hereby represents and warrants to the Lenders as of the date hereof, that no further exceptions exist with respect to any of the aforementioned Schedules which are, or are likely to become, in any respect materially adverse to the interests of the Lenders or which would be likely to cause an Event of Default hereunder. Borrower’s representations and warranties are hereby modified consistent with the foregoing.

4.18 Tenant Leases. Except as set forth on the lease abstracts and Estoppel Certificates delivered by the Borrower to the Agent, there are no tenant leases affecting the Property which (i) impose any liability or obligation on the Borrower with respect to any property other than the Property or (ii) would impose obligations on the Borrower, as landlord, which are not substantially similar to obligations imposed on the Borrower with respect to substantially all other leases affecting the Property other than expansion options and tenant improvement obligations in connection with expansion space.

4.19 Ownership by Benefit Plan Investor. No class of the Borrower’s, DERF’s, DERF2’s or DERA’s outstanding equities is subject to “significant” ownership by “benefit plan investors” as those terms are defined in DOL Reg. 2510.3-101(f).

4.20 Modifications to Organizational Documents. There will be no material modifications to the terms of the partnership agreement of the Borrower, DERF or DERF2 without the prior written approval of the Agent which consent will not be unreasonably denied or delayed.

4.21 Fraudulent Conveyance. The Borrower (a) has not entered into this Agreement or any other Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor and (b) has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its Obligations under the Loan Documents. Giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, the fair saleable value of the Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, exceed the Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of the Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, be greater than the Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, be greater than the Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities or its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. The Borrower’s assets do not, and immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. The Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including, without limitation, contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of Obligations of the Borrower).

4.22 Access/Utilities. The Property has adequate rights of access to public ways and is served by adequate water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities. All public utilities necessary to the continued used and enjoyment of the Property as presently used and enjoyed are located in the public right-of-way abutting the Property without passing over other property. All roads necessary for the full utilization of the Property for its current purpose have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities or are the subject of access easements for the benefit of the Property.

4.23 Special Assessments. Except as disclosed in the title insurance policy, there are no pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting the Property, nor, to the knowledge of the Borrower, are there any contemplated improvements to the Property that may result in such special or other assessments.

4.24 Flood Zone. The Property is not located in a flood hazard area as defined by the Federal Insurance Administration.

4.25 Condemnation Proceedings. There are no pending or proposed condemnation proceedings with respect to the Property.

4.26 Brokers. Borrower has not dealt with any Person who is or may be entitled to any finder’s fee, brokerage commission, loan commission or other sum in connection with the Loan except Secured Capital Corporation. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and defend Lenders and hold Lenders harmless against any and all loss, liability, cost or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees which Lenders may suffer or sustain should such warranty or representation prove inaccurate in whole or in part or in connection with any fee, commission or other sum payable to Secured Capital Corporation, the payment of which is the sole obligation of Borrower.

4.27 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate or other writing delivered by or on behalf of any one or more of the Parties to any Loan Document, shall survive the making of the Loan hereunder and the execution and delivery of the Note and have been or will be relied upon by the Lenders, notwithstanding any investigation made by the Lenders or on their behalf; provided, however, the Agent shall notify the Borrower prior to the closing of the Loan of any inaccuracy in the Borrower’s representations and warranties theretofore discovered by the Agent.

5.4 Compliance With Laws. Comply with the requirements of all applicable Laws and orders of any Governmental Agency, noncompliance with which could materially adversely affect the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of any of them, taken as a whole, or the ability of the Borrower to perform its Obligations, except that no requirement then being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings need be complied with so long as no interest of the Lenders would be materially impaired thereby.

At any time during regular business hours, upon reasonable telephonic notice to the Borrower, and as often as requested, permit the Agent, or any employee or representative of the Agent, to examine, audit and make copies and abstracts from the records and books of account of, and, subject to the rights of tenants, to visit and inspect the Property and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Borrower, DERF, DERF2 or DERA with any of their officers and key employees, and, upon request, furnish promptly to the Agent true copies of all financial information maintained by the Borrower, DERF, DERF2 or DERA and such other information as the Agent may reasonably require from time to time.

(b) the adoption, after the date of this Agreement, of any other law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, including but not limited to an adoption of any such law, rule, regulation or guideline resulting from the implementation of the January 2001 report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices referred to as the New Basle Capital Accord or Basle II, excluding the implementation of any measures resulting from the EU Consensus on the Germans system of Landesbanken dated 17^th July 2001,

Any amount or amounts payable by the Borrower to the Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.9 shall be paid by the Borrower to the Agent within ten (10) days of receipt by the Borrower from the Agent of a statement setting forth the amount or amounts due and the basis for the determination from time to time of such amount or amounts, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower absent manifest error.

All Cash Flow delivered to Agent pursuant to this Section 5.13 shall, at the option of Borrower, be applied to reduce the Principal Balance or deposited in the Reserve Account and held by Agent as additional Collateral. If the Debt Service Coverage Ratio shall subsequently equal or exceed 1.25 to 1.00 for two consecutive Fiscal Quarters, Borrower shall no longer be required to pay the Cash Flow to Agent and the Cash Flow deposited in the Reserve Account shall be released to Borrower.

5.14 Interest Rate Protection Agreement. Maintain in good standing at all times during the first four (4) years of the term of the Loan an Interest Rate Protection Agreement under which the “all-in” per annum interest rate shall not exceed eight percent (8%) per annum.

Lenders shall not be obligated to pay interest on any such sums. Upon demand of Agent, Borrower shall deliver to Agent such additional sums as are necessary to enable Agent to pay such taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and similar charges. If Borrower has paid to Agent any sums under this Section 5.15, such sums, less any amounts which have been applied by Agent to the payment of such charges, shall be returned to Borrower upon demand of Borrower so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Management Company may be replaced at the election of the Limited Partners in accordance with the terms of the partnership agreement of the General Partners, provided such Person replacing the Management Company has been approved by the Lenders, which approval shall not be unreasonably denied or delayed. After an Event of Default or a default under any Management Agreement then in effect, which default is not cured within any applicable grace or cure period, the Lenders shall have the right to terminate or to direct the Borrower to terminate, the Management Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ notice and to retain, or to direct the Borrower to retain, a new management agent approved by the Lenders.

The foregoing shall not limit disclosures: (a) specifically and previously authorized in writing by Borrower; (b) to any actual or prospective assignee or participant of Lenders so long as such actual or prospective assignee or participant has agreed in writing to keep such Confidential Information confidential in accordance with, and not to use such Confidential Information in violation of, the terms of this Section 9.25; (c) to legal counsel, accountants, auditors, environmental consultants, title insurance representatives and other professional advisors to each such Person so long as any such Person shall be informed in writing of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and shall be directed to treat such Confidential Information confidentially and not to use such Confidential Information in violation of this Section 9.25; (d) to regulatory officials having jurisdiction over any such Person; (e) as required by legal process or in connection with any action to enforce the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents; and (f) of information which has previously become publicly available through the actions or inactions of a third party not, to such Person’s knowledge, in breach of an obligation of confidentiality to Borrower or which has become stale through the passage of time or other change in circumstances. Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders to issue press releases, advertisements and other promotional materials in connection with their respective marketing activities, describing the Loan in general terms or in detail and the Lenders’ participation in the Loan.

9.27 Participations and Syndication.

(a) Appointment and Responsibilities of the Agent:

(1) Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints LB Kiel, as the Agent of such Lender under this Agreement, and each of the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender authorizes the Agent as the agent for such Lender to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Agent by the terms of this Agreement and each other Loan Document, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Only the Agent (and not one or more of the Lenders) shall have the authority to act for the Lenders under this Agreement and the Loan Documents and each Lender acknowledges that all notices, demands or requests from such Lender to the Borrower must be forwarded to the Agent for delivery to the Borrower; provided,

however, such restrictions shall not preclude direct communications between the Lenders and the Borrower but it is understood that no agreements or actions of any Lender, other than the Agent, shall have any effect hereunder or under the Loan Documents. Each Lender acknowledges that the Borrower has no obligation to act or refrain from acting on instructions or demands of one or more Lenders absent written instructions from the Agent pursuant to its rights and authority hereunder. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly herein set forth, or any fiduciary relationship with the Borrower or any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities on the part of the Agent shall be read into this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or otherwise exist against the Agent. In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall (i) take the same care as generally consistent with the standard of care utilized by prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders in the United States in connection with similar mortgage loans which they own, subject to the limitations on liability contained herein and the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the requirements of applicable Laws and (ii) in the act solely as the agent of the Lenders and does not assume nor shall the Agent be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of trust or agency with or for any other party or any of their respective successors and assigns.

(2) Consultation with Experts. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (including internal counsel and counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

(3) Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, facsimile, telex or teletype message, statement or other document or conversation (including telephonic communications) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, its internal counsel and counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless the Agent shall have received an executed Assignment and Acceptance Agreement in respect thereof. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders required pursuant to this Agreement. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request, approval or consent of the Lenders required by the terms of this Agreement, and such request, approval or consent and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Notes.

(4) Notice of Default.

(i) The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest or fees required to be paid to the Agent for the account of the

Lenders, unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower describing a material Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Agent receives such a notice, the Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such material Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by the Required Lenders; provided that unless and until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent shall take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such material Default or Event of Default as the Agent shall reasonably deem necessary to protect and preserve the Collateral and the Lenders’ rights and remedies under the Loan Documents. In no event shall the Agent be required to take any action which it determines to be contrary to Law. In no event shall the Agent be required to take any action which might expose the Agent to liability unless all of the Lenders shall require the Agent to take such action and indemnify the Agent against such liability.

(ii) Each Lender agrees that it shall promptly notify the Agent in writing after it first has knowledge of any material Default or Event of Default. The Agent shall give a copy of any such notice received by the Agent to the other Lenders.

(5) Deliveries of Documents to the Lenders. The Agent shall promptly deliver to each of the Lenders copies of any and all documents, reports or other materials or notices delivered to the Agent by the Borrower that the Lenders are required to receive under the Loan Documents or any other material documents or notices delivered to the Agent by the Borrower or notices sent to the Borrower by the Agent.

(6) Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agent, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent hereafter taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of the Borrower shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent. Each Lender represents and warrants to the Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate (including the Loan Documents and related information), (I) made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other condition, creditworthiness and solvency of the Borrower, (II) satisfied itself as to the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency and value of any of the Loan Documents, the Collateral or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant to any Loan Document, (III) made its own determination as to the validity, effectiveness, perfection, value and adequacy of the Liens, and (IV) made its own decision to acquire its Assigned Amount and Percentage Interest of the Loan. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action hereunder, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required pursuant to the Loan Documents to be furnished by the Agent to the Lenders (and which are, in fact, received by the Agent), the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the

Borrower, which may come into the possession of the Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

(7) Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent (in its capacity as such) and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower as may be required under the Loan Documents) ratably in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, action, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Agent or such indemnified person in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not the Agent or such Person shall be designated a party thereto) that may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent or such Person as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to or by reason of, any of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (but excluding any such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or such Person as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction).

(8) Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to the Assigned Amount owned by the Agent, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Agent in its capacity as a Lender. LB Kiel hereby agrees that at all times during the term of the Loan so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing it will (i) retain a Percentage Interest in the Loan of not less than 27.7778% or (ii) hold a Loan Amount of not less than $25,000,000.

(9) Appointment of a Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving twenty (20) Business Days’ notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any resignation by the Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent upon prior notice to the Borrower; provided, however, that if no Event of Default by the Borrower has occurred and is continuing, the appointment of such successor Agent shall require the prior approval of the Borrower, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders (and, if applicable, reasonably consented to by the Borrower), and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the resigning Agent gives notice of resignation, then the resigning Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, upon prior notice to the Borrower, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be an Eligible Lender; provided, however, that if no Event of Default by the Borrower has occurred and is continuing, the appointment of such successor Agent shall require the prior approval of the Borrower, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all of the rights and duties of the resigning Agent, and the resigning Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder thereafter arising. After any resigning Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Agent; provided, however, to the extent that

the Agent is liable for any gross negligence or willful misconduct prior to the Agent’s resignation hereunder such liability will survive the Agent’s resignation.

(10) Removal of Agent. The Agent may be removed as Agent by the Required Lenders for “cause.” In such event, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Agent upon prior notice to the Borrower; provided, however, if no Event of Default by the Borrower has occurred and is continuing, the appointment of said successor Agent shall require the prior approval of the Borrower, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. As used herein the term “cause” shall mean the occurrence of one or more of the following events:

(i) Agent’s actual fraud in a material respect upon the parties to the Loan Agreement:

(ii) Agent’s gross negligence in the performance of any of its material obligations under the Loan Agreement;

(iii) Agent’s willful misconduct in a material respect; or

(iv) in the event LB Kiel fails to comply with the terms of 9.27(a)(8) (interests assigned to an Affiliate of LB Kiel shall be deemed retention of the Percentage Interest and Loan Amount so assigned).

(b) The Loans:

(1) Individual Loans. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the assignment of portions of the Loan by a Lender to another Lender will create as to each Lender an Individual Loan evidenced by each Lender’s respective Note and collectively secured by the Deeds of Trust and governed by the other Loan Documents. The Borrower shall look solely to each Lender (including LB Kiel, in its capacity as a Lender) for the performance of such Lender’s obligations, covenants and agreements under the Loan Documents on the part of each Lender to be performed or observed with respect to each Lender’s Individual Loan, subject to and upon the conditions, limitations and restrictions set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents.

(2) Distributions to the Lenders. The Borrower shall make all payments under the Loan Documents of principal of, and interest on, the Loans to the Agent as provided in Section 2.13(a) hereof. Upon receipt by the Agent of any such payment under the Notes, the Agent shall promptly distribute such funds to each Lender in its proper share, subject, however, to Section 9.27(e) hereof in respect of any distributions which would, but for such provision, have been made to a Defaulting Lender. At Agent’s election, Agent may, but shall not be required to, on the date of each scheduled payment due from Borrower on the Note or under any other Loan Document prefund to the other Lenders their respective shares of such payment. Should such payment not be received by Agent, on the date when due, upon receipt of notice from Agent, each Lender shall immediately wire transfer to Agent the amount prefunded by Agent to it.

(3) Priority of Loans. Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.27(e), each Lender’s Individual Loan shall be of equal priority with each other Lender’s Individual Loan, and no Individual Loan shall have priority or preference over any other Individual Loan or the security therefor.

(4) Books and Records. The Agent shall keep customary books and records relating to the Loan (including, without limitation, copies of the Loan Documents), and such books and records shall be available at the Agent’s office for the Lenders’ reasonable inspection during the Agent’s normal business hours. The original Loan Documents shall be kept at the Agent’s address set forth on the signature pages of this Agreement, or at such other branch office of Agent as may be designated from time to time by the Agent and shall be made available to any Lender for inspection at such office within a reasonable period of time following such Lender’s written request to inspect same. Upon the written request of any Lender, the Agent shall provide copies of such books and records to the Lender so long as the Lender’s request is not unreasonable.

(1) Decisions of the Lenders. Except as expressly set forth in Section 9.27(c)(2), (3) and (4) hereof, all Decisions shall be implemented or effected by the Agent. The Agent may request a Decision with respect to matters described in Sections 9.27(c)(2) or (3) hereof at any time by making a request for such Decision in writing to all of the Lenders and delivering the same to each of the Lenders in the manner specified in Section 9.6 hereof. Such request shall (i) contain an adequate description of the Decision being requested and (ii) specify the reasons for such request. Such Decision may also be requested by telephone to each of the Lenders and the Decision thus requested shall be deemed given if the Agent has received written approval of such Decision from the Required Lenders. If a Lender does not deliver to the Agent a written objection thereto within ten (10) Business Days after hand delivery by the Agent, or twelve (12) Business Days after mailing or delivery to an express courier service of the request of the Agent, such Lender shall be deemed to have approved the requested Decision so long as such Decision, is not governed by the terms of Section 9.27(c)(2) hereof. Any Decision which constitutes a modification or amendment to the Loan Documents, a waiver of any material term or provision of the Loan Documents or a consent to the departure by the Borrower therefrom shall be in writing whether the consent of the Lenders is required or not and the Agent shall give written notice to the Lenders of any such waiver or consent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(2) Unanimous Approvals by the Lenders. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall (i) extend the Maturity Date, (ii) reduce the rate of interest on any Obligations, (iii) reduce the principal amount of any Obligations, (iv) release any of the Collateral (except as otherwise expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents), (v) exercise any set-off or similar right against the Borrower, (vi) enter into any modification, renewal or termination of the Nestle Lease, (vii) change any provision of this Section 9.27(c)(2) or the definition of Required Lenders, or (viii) release any obligor as an obligor under any Loan Document, in each case without the written consent of all the Lenders.

(3) Approvals by the Required Lenders.

(i) Whenever the consent or approval of the Lenders (as opposed to the Agent) is required under this Agreement, except as to those matters which require unanimous approval pursuant to Section 9.27(c)(2) hereof, such consent or approval shall be deemed given upon the receipt by the Agent of the written consent or approval of the Required Lenders.

(ii) Upon the Agent’s receipt of a notice of default (as described in Section 9.27(a)(4) hereof), the Agent shall consult with the Lenders to determine a course of action which is acceptable to the Required Lenders. Subject to Section 9.27(a)(4)(i) and 9.27(c)(2) hereof, the Agent shall pursue such course of action approved by the Required Lenders in respect of any Default or Event of Default, including, without limitation, acceleration of the indebtedness, commencement of any suit to foreclose upon and/or acquire title to the Collateral in connection with such foreclosure, or the defense, settlement or compromise of any claims for liens which are prior to the Lien. In the event that the Required Lenders cannot decide which remedies, if any, are to be pursued, the Agent may take such action as it deems advisable and in the best interests of the Lenders.

(iii) The Agent agrees to take such action as the Required Lenders shall direct in connection with (I) the sale or other disposition of the Collateral, (II) the operation, repair, preservation, improvement and management of the Collateral if the Agent or any nominee acting on behalf of the Agent and/or the Lenders acquires title to or possession of the Collateral in connection with the realization of the security for the Loan, and (III) any disposition of the Collateral after an acquisition of title to or possession of the Collateral in connection with the realization of the security for the Loan. With respect to clause (I) above, if the Agent has not been directed by the Required Lenders within the time period set forth in Section 9.27(c)(1) of this Agreement as to what action to take at the sale of the Collateral, the Agent shall bid at such sale the amount the Agent shall deem reasonable to protect, preserve and enforce the rights and claims of the Lenders in respect of the Collateral (which may be bid in increments and with such initial bid, interim bids and/or final bid as the Agent considers advisable) up to the then outstanding balance of the Loan, including principal, interest, costs and attorneys fees. Agent is expressly authorized to bid less than such amount, if in Agent’s judgment it is reasonable to do so, giving consideration to the value of the Collateral and the financial status of any Persons that may be liable for the Obligations as disclosed by the most recent financial statements received by the Agent with respect to such Persons. With respect to clause (II) above, if the Agent is not directed by the Required Lenders within the time periods set forth in Section 9.27(c)(1) of this Agreement, the Agent shall take such actions as are reasonable and necessary for responsible operation and management of the Collateral. With respect to clause (III) above, if the Agent is not directed within the time periods set forth in Section 9.27(c)(1) of this Agreement, the Agent shall take such actions as the Agent shall deem reasonable to protect, preserve and enforce the rights and claims of the Lenders in respect of the Collateral.

(iv) Any amendment or modification to the terms of the Loan Documents not requiring unanimous approval of the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.27(c)(2) above and any Decision which constitutes a waiver of any material term or provision of the Loan Documents or the consent to a material departure by the Borrower therefrom shall be made and/or given only with the consent of the Required Lenders.

(4) Non-Material Waivers and Consents. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 9.27(c)(2) and (3) above, the Agent may waive any non-material provision of the Loan Documents or consent to any non-material departure by the Borrower from the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents; provided, however, any such waivers and consents shall be effective only upon the execution by the Agent of a written agreement to that effect. The Agent shall give written notice to the Lenders of any such waiver or consent. For purposes of this Section 9.27(c)(4), the Agent shall determine (in its sole discretion) whether or not a waiver or departure is material, it being the understanding of the Lenders that such waiver or departure shall be considered non-material if it is administrative or technical in nature and does not involve matters of bankruptcy, payments of interest or principal, or matters which adversely affect the value of the Collateral.

(5) Losses and Expenses. All losses, costs, expenses, disbursements, liabilities, fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements), obligations, damages, suits, actions and penalties of any kind or nature whatsoever (collectively, a “Loss”) incurred by the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) in connection with the Loan, the enforcement thereof, or the realization of the security therefor shall be borne by the Lenders in accordance with each Lender’s Percentage Interest.

(i) Each Lender shall within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of a written request by the Agent, reimburse the Agent (to the extent not otherwise reimbursed by the Borrower) for such Lender’s Percentage Interest of (I) any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with any Default or Event of Default under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of outside counsel), (II) any advances made (x) to pay taxes or insurance, (y) to preserve and protect the Agent’s and the Lenders’ liens against the Collateral, protect, complete, repair, alter, renovate, operate, manage, market and/or sell, the Collateral, or (z) to own, operate, manage, improve, alter, complete, renovate, repair, market and/or sell the Collateral after the acquisition thereof by the Agent or any nominee acting on behalf of the Agent and/or the Lenders, and (III) any other expenses incurred to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents.

(ii) Each of the Lenders hereby agrees and acknowledges that the Agent may, following acquisition of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, elect to vest title thereto in the Agent or any Subsidiary or other nominee of the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders ratably, and the provisions of this Agreement shall govern and control with respect to the relationship among the Lenders thereafter.

(d) Successors and Assigns; Participations; Assignments:

(1) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Agent, all future holders of the Notes and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The Borrower may not assign its rights hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or any interest herein or therein without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders. The Lenders may participate, assign or sell all or any portion of their interest in an Individual Loan only as effected by operation of law in connection with the merger, consolidation or dissolution of any Lender or as provided in this Section

9.27(d). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and the Loan Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder. The assigning Lender shall notify the Agent in writing of such transfer and promptly upon being notified in writing of such assignment, the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the other Lenders of such occurrence.

(2) Participations. Any Lender may sell to one or more of its Affiliates (each a “Participant”) a participating interest in its Individual Loan, the Note held by such Lender and/or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents; provided, however, the Participant to which a participating interest has been sold shall not be treated as a Lender hereunder and, provided, further, any Lender selling a participating interest in its Individual Loan shall under the terms of its participation agreement retain the right to make Decisions under this Agreement as if no such participating interest has been sold. Notwithstanding any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest, such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for its performance hereunder, such Lender shall remain the holder of its Note for all purposes hereunder and the Borrower and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents.

(3) Assignments. Subject to the provisions of this Section 9.27(d), any Lender may assign to any other Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender or, with the consent of the Agent, to any Eligible Lender (or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any institution) all or any part of its interest in an Individual Loan; provided, however, the amount of the Individual Loan so assigned shall be not less than $10,000,000, shall be in integral multiples of $1,000,000 and, if less than an entire Individual Loan is to be assigned, the assigning Lender shall retain an Individual Loan of not less than $10,000,000. The assigning Lender shall give the Agent not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice of such assignment, which notice shall include the identity of the proposed Assignee and sufficient financial information for the Agent to evaluate such proposed Assignee. If the approval of the Agent is required, the Agent shall, within 15 days after receipt of such notice and accompanying information, notify the assigning Lender whether the proposed assignment has been approved, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(i) Upon an assignment of all or a portion of a Lender’s Individual Loan, in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for its acceptance and recording in its records, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 payable by the assigning Lender. Upon such execution, delivery, payment, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each such Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be at least three (3) Business Days after the delivery thereof to the Agent, (I) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and under the Loan Documents and (II) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement and under the

Loan Documents from and after the date of such Assignment and Acceptance as to the portion of its Individual Loan which was assigned (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto and thereto.)

(ii) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (I) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (II) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (III) such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements of the Borrower and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (IV) such Assignee shall, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (V) such Assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action and to exercise such power under this Agreement as is delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (VI) such Assignee agrees that it shall perform all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(iii) The Agent shall maintain a record of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the principal amount owing to each Lender from time to time. Such record shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is so recorded as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. Such record shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(iv) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance properly completed and executed by an assigning Lender and its Assignee, together with any Note subject to such assignment, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been authorized hereunder, (I) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (II) record the information contained therein and (III) give notice thereof to the Borrower. Within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, without charge to the Agent or the Lenders, shall execute and deliver to the Agent a new Note to the order of such Assignee in an amount equal to the Assigned Amount assigned to such Assignee and a new Note to the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the amount of the Individual Loan retained by the assigning Lender. Such new Notes shall be dated the date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in the

form of the prior Note held by such assigning Lender. Notwithstanding the surrender of the Note by the assigning Lender, the amounts accrued and unpaid under such surrendered Note prior to the effective date of the Assignment and Acceptance shall continue to constitute existing debt and remain payable by the Borrower to the assigning Lender. The assigning Lender and the Assignee shall directly between themselves make all appropriate adjustments in payments under this Agreement and the Note for periods prior to the effective date of the Assignment and Acceptance.

(e) Defaulting Lenders:

(1) Lender’s Failure to Fund Expenses. In the event of a failure of any Lender to reimburse the Agent for any sums demanded by the Agent pursuant to Section 9.27(c)(5) hereof (after ten (10) Business Days’ notice from the Agent), the Agent, upon five (5) Business Days’ notice, may deduct such Lender’s pro rata share of said expenses, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, from such Lender’s distributions as set forth in Section 9.27(b)(2) unless the Lender’s failure to reimburse the Agent for sums so demanded is a result of a good faith dispute as to whether such expenses are proper, in which case the Agent and the Lender shall, in good faith, attempt to resolve the dispute and the Lender shall not be subject to the set-off right hereunder until the earlier of (i) five (5) Business Days following resolution of the dispute or (ii) sixty (60) Business Days from the date of the original demand by the Agent to the Lender. The Agent shall be entitled to set off and to appropriate and apply any Defaulting Lender’s distributions until the Agent has been fully reimbursed for such expenditures.

(2) Voting Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to vote on any matter as to which a vote by the Lenders is required hereunder, including, without limitation, any actions or consents on the part of the Agent as to which the approval or consent of all the Lenders or the Required Lenders is required under Sections 9.27(c)(2) or (3) hereof, so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender. For purposes of any such vote, the Agent shall recalculate the Percentage Interests of all Lenders which are not Defaulting Lenders as if the Individual Loans of the Defaulting Lenders do not exist.

(3) Remedies. In addition to and not in limitation of the terms and provisions of Section 9.27(e)(1) and (2) hereof, the Borrower, the Agent and each of the Lenders, which are not Defaulting Lenders, may in their respective sole and absolute discretion, exercise any and all other rights and remedies available at Law or in equity in respect of a Defaulting Lender.

(f) Miscellaneous:

(1) Amounts Received by the Lenders. No Lender shall accept, receive or apply any repayment with respect to its Individual Loan in any form or manner, whether by counterclaim, set-off or otherwise, other than as may be expressly provided in the Loan Documents or in this Agreement, except upon prior written agreement of all of the other Lenders. If, however, any Lender obtains any payment under any Loan Document, such Lender shall act as a trustee for the benefit of the other Lenders to the extent that such Lender has received a repayment in an amount in excess of its Percentage Interest of all repayments made by

the Borrower under all of the Loans and said Lender shall pay over such excess payment to the Agent for distribution to the other Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests in the Loan.

(2) No Joint Venture. Neither the execution of this Agreement nor the selling of an interest in the Loan and the security therefor, nor any agreement to share in profits or losses as provided herein is intended to be, nor shall it be construed to be, the formation of a partnership or joint venture among the Lenders.

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

(4) Right of Lenders and Agent to Transact Business. The Lenders and the Agent and/or any of their Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower, the General Partners, DERA, or any other Person without any duty to account therefor to the other Lenders and/or the Agent, as the case may be.

(5) Exculpatory Provisions. The Agent shall not be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken by it or any Person described in Section 9.27(a)(2), hereof or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except for the Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrower, a Lender or any other Party contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or by the Borrower, a Lender or any other Party in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received under or in connection with, any other Loan Document or for the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any such certificate, report, statement or other document, or for the value of any Collateral, or for any failure of the Borrower, any Lender or any other Party to perform or observe their obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, or the books or records of the Borrower. This Section 29.7(f)(5) is intended to govern solely the relationship between the Agent, on the one hand, and the Lenders, on the other.

(6) Withholding Taxes. Each Lender represents that it is entitled to receive any payments to be made to it hereunder without the withholding of any tax and will furnish to the Agent such forms, certifications, statements and other documents as the Agent may request from time to time to evidence such Lender’s exemption from the withholding of any tax imposed by any Governmental Agency or to enable the Agent to comply with any applicable Laws or regulations relating thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any

Lender is not created or organized under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, in the event that the payment of interest by the Borrower is treated for U.S. income tax purposes as derived in whole or in part from sources from within the U.S., such Lender shall furnish to the Agent Form 4224, Form W-8BEN or Form 1001 of the Internal Revenue Service, or such other forms, certifications, statements or documents, duly executed and completed by such Lender, as evidence of such Lender’s exemption from the withholding of U.S. income tax with respect thereto. The Agent shall not be obligated to make any payments hereunder to such Lender in respect of the Loan until such Lender shall have furnished to the Agent the requested form, certification, statement or document.

(7) Limitation of Liability. No claim may be made by the Borrower or any other Person against the Agent or any Lender or the Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents of any of such Persons for any punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and the Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any claim for any such punitive damages.

(8) Assigned Amount. It is understood and agreed that the Assigned Amount allocated to each of the Lenders pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement may not be increased or decreased without the prior written consent of the Lender whose Assigned Amount is to be increased or decreased.

9.28 Financing Statements. Borrower hereby authorizes and consents to the filing by Lenders of UCC-1 Financing Statements in the appropriate governmental office for the purpose of perfecting Lenders’ security interest in any Personal Property.

9.29 Leasing Matters.

(a) Prior to entering into any new lease, Borrower shall prepare and submit to Agent for Agent’s prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, a standard lease form (“Standard Lease Form”). Borrower shall not enter into any lease which is not an Approved Lease.

(b) Leases prepared on the Standard Lease Form and which are not Major Leases shall be deemed Approved Leases. All Major Leases of the Building shall require the approval of the Agent or the Required Lenders as follows:

(i) Major Leases which affect together with any other existing leases with the same tenant up to 54,000 square feet of rentable space in the Building or which would affect up to 10% of the gross rental income of the Building must be submitted to and approved by the Agent in writing in each instance as to: (A) the economic and other terms of every such lease and occupancy agreement; (B) the creditworthiness of the tenant under such a lease; (C) each guarantor of a tenant’s obligations, if any; (D) any consent to subletting or assignment if the original tenant is relieved of liability under such a lease; (E) any modification, waiver or amendment to such lease that reduces rent, reduces the term or limits a tenant’s liability

thereunder; and (F) any termination, cancellation or surrender of such a lease other than as permitted by the lease or upon a default by a tenant;

(ii) Major Leases which affect together with any other existing leases with the same tenant more than 54,000 square feet of rentable space in the Building or which affect more than 10% of the gross rental income of the Building, must be submitted to and approved by the Required Lenders as to those items detailed in subsections (A) through (F) of the prior paragraph;

(iii) Any Major Lease or modification or amendment to a Major Lease, which has been so approved by Agent, or Required Lenders, as the case may be, shall be an Approved Lease.

9.30 Borrower’s Request. Any request by Borrower for an approval from Agent or Required Lenders with respect to leasing matters shall be accompanied, at a minimum, by the following: (a) the proposed lease or amendment or modification thereof complete with all applicable schedules and exhibits; (b) a complete copy of any proposed guaranty; (c) comprehensive financial information with respect to the proposed tenant and, if applicable, the proposed guarantor (as to new leases or amendments or modifications to existing leases involving material economic changes); (d) a brief written summary of the proposed permitted uses and a discussion of how such uses relate to other tenancies then existing at the Building; and (e) an executive summary of the terms and conditions of the proposed lease, and, if applicable, the proposed guaranty.

9.31 Agent and Lender Response. Borrower shall endeavor to keep Agent informed with respect to leasing matters requiring Agent’s or Required Lenders’ approval under Section 9.29(b) of this Agreement prior to finalizing such leasing matters. Specifically, Borrower shall endeavor to provide to Agent the following documents (collectively, the “Lease Package”): (a) with respect to a new lease, information regarding the prospective tenant’s business, character and creditworthiness and a signed letter of intent with the prospective tenant, containing all of the material terms of the proposed lease; or (b) with respect to a renewal, amendment or termination of an existing lease, a signed letter of intent or proposal with the tenant, containing all of the material terms of the proposed renewal, amendment or termination. Agent and, if applicable, the Required Lenders shall act on requests from Borrower for any approval under Section 9.30 of this Agreement in a commercially reasonable manner and shall respond to any such request by the later of the following dates (“Response Time”): if only Agent’s approval is required, ten (10) Business Days after Agent’s receipt of the Lease Package for the specific transaction; or, if a Lease Package has previously been provided to Agent, five (5) Business Days after Agent’s receipt of the final lease or lease renewal, amendment or termination, as the case may be, provided the Lease Package was delivered at least five (5) Business Days previously and no material change to the Lease Package has occurred; if the approval of the Required Lenders is required, fifteen (15) Business Days after the Required Lenders’ receipt of the Lease Package for the specific transaction; or, if a Lease Package has previously been provided to Required Lenders, ten (10) Business Days after Required Lenders receipt of the final lease or lease renewal, amendment or termination, as the case may be, provided the Lease Package was delivered to the Required Lenders at least five (5) Business Days previously and no material change has occurred to the Lease Package. If Agent, and if applicable, Required

Lenders do not respond within the Response Time, Borrower’s request shall be deemed approved. Agent’s and, if applicable, the Required Lenders’ response may consist of an approval or disapproval of the request, or a conditional approval thereof subject to specified conditions, or a request for further data or information, or any combination thereof. Whenever reasonably possible all Borrower’s requests for lease approvals shall be accompanied by an express description of any deviations from the Standard Form Lease. After a new lease or an amendment is signed, copies of them shall be delivered to Agent. Borrower shall have the right to execute leases requiring Agent’s and, if applicable, the Required Lenders’ approval prior to Agent’s and, if applicable, the Required Lenders’ giving such approval, provided that any such lease states that its effectiveness is subject to receipt of Agent’s or, if applicable, Required Lenders’ approval.

9.32 Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreements. At the request of Agent, each tenant shall be required to enter into a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement with Agent. If the lease is not a Major Lease, paragraph 4 of the Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement may be amended to read as follows: “The Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee prepay any of the rents, additional rents or other sums due under the Lease for more than one (1) month in advance of the due date thereof.” Agent shall, upon request of Borrower, enter into a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement with respect to any Major Lease approved by Lender or the Required Lenders, as applicable and, each lease entered into subsequent to the Closing Date shall obligate the tenant thereunder to enter into a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement upon the request of Agent.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of the date first above written.
