A copy of the provisions of the Mortgage and Loan Agreement referring to Section 291-f is attached hereto as EXHIBIT A. <Page> However, you are requested and directed to pay the rental as it becomes due, as directed by Borrower, unless and until you receive notice from Lender to the contrary. Very truly yours, ------------------------------ <Page> EXHIBIT A Section 17.5 of the Mortgage entitled "Leases" provides that "Lender shall have all of the rights against lessees of the Property set forth in Section 291-f of the Real Property Law of New York." Section 3.3 of the Mortgage entitled "Leases" provides that Borrower shall not enter in any Leases (as defined below) for all or any portion of the Property unless in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement. Section 5.13 of the Loan Agreement provides as follows: (a) Borrower may enter into a proposed Lease (including the renewal or extension of an existing Lease (a "RENEWAL LEASE")) without the prior written consent of Lender, provided such proposed Lease or Renewal Lease (i) provides for rental rates and terms comparable to existing local market rates and terms (taking into account the type and quality of the tenant) as of the date such Lease is executed by Borrower (unless, in the case of a Renewal Lease, the rent payable during such renewal, or a formula or other method to compute such rent, is provided for in the original Lease), (ii) is an arm's-length transaction with a bona fide, independent third party tenant, (iii) does not have a materially adverse effect on the value of the Property taken as a whole, (iv) is subject and subordinate to the Mortgage which is a lien on the Property and the Tenant thereunder agrees to attorn to Lender, (v) does not contain any option, offer, right of first refusal, or other similar right to acquire all or any portion of the Property, (vi) has a base term of less than fifteen (15) years including options to renew, (vii) has no rent credits, free rents or concessions granted thereunder, other than commercially reasonable tenant improvement allowances and commercially reasonable rent abatements consistent with other comparable leases within the local market and (viii) is written on the standard form of lease approved by Lender.

(b) Borrower (i) shall observe and perform all the obligations imposed upon the landlord under the Leases and shall not do or permit to be done anything to impair the value of any of the Leases as security for the debt underlying the Loan; (ii) shall promptly send copies to Lender of all notices of default which Borrower shall send or receive thereunder; (iii) shall enforce all of the material terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the tenant thereunder to be observed or performed; (iv) shall not collect any of the Rents more than one (1) month in advance (except security deposits shall not be deemed Rents collected in advance); (v) shall not execute any other assignment of the landlord's interest in any of the Leases or the Rents; and (vi) shall not consent to any assignment of or subletting under any Leases not in accordance with their terms, without the prior written consent of Lender.

A termination of a Lease with a tenant who is in default beyond applicable notice and grace periods shall not be considered an action which has a materially adverse effect on the value of the Property taken as a whole. Any amendment, modification, waiver, termination, rent reduction, space surrender or term shortening which does not satisfy the requirements set forth in this subsection shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender and its counsel, at Borrower's expense. Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender copies of amendments, modifications and waivers which are entered into pursuant to this subsection together with a certification that it has satisfied all of the conditions of this subsection. (d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, enter into, renew, extend, amend, modify, waive any provisions of, terminate, reduce Rents under, accept a surrender of space under, or shorten the term of any Major Lease.

Landlord agrees not to disturb the possession of any subtenants under subleases so long as such subtenants do not violate any terms of the Lease. 17. This Agreement and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein are given with the understanding that this Agreement constitutes a material inducement for Lender in making the Loan to Borrower and that Lender shall rely hereon in making the Loan to Borrower. Lender may at any time, without Landlord's consent, sell, assign, participate or securitize all or any portion of Lender's rights and obligations under the Security Instrument, and any such sale, assignment, participation or securitization may be to one or more financial institutions or other entities, to private investors, and/or into the public securities market, in Lender's sole discretion.
