partnership, foreign trust or foreign estate (as said terms are defined in the
Code).

Report"). Since the date of the Property Condition Report, there have been no
material adverse changes to the physical condition of the Improvements. Borrower

and telephone facilities are available to the Property within the boundary lines
of the Property, are sufficient to meet the reasonable needs of the Property as
now used or contemplated to be used, no other utility facilities are necessary
to meet the reasonable needs of the Property as now used, and design and
as-built conditions of the Property are such that surface and storm water does
not accumulate on the Property and, except as otherwise disclosed in writing to

owners. Except as otherwise disclosed in writing to Lender, no part of the
Property is within a flood plain and none of the Improvements create an
encroachment over, across or upon any of the Property's boundary lines, rights
of way or easements, and no building or other improvement on adjoining land
create such an encroachment.

asserted has been performed within the last 90 days, except as otherwise
disclosed in writing to Lender.
29. Payment of Liens. Borrower shall pay when due all payments and charges
due under or in connection with any liens and encumbrances on and security
interests in the Property or any portion thereof, all rents and charges under
any ground leases and other leases forming a part of the Property, and all
claims and demands of mechanics, materialmen, laborers and others which, if
unpaid, might result in or permit the creation of a lien on the Property or any
portion thereof, and shall cause the prompt (but in no event later than 30 days
after imposition), full and unconditional discharge of all liens imposed on or
against the Property or any portion thereof. Borrower shall do or cause to be
done, at the sole cost of Borrower, everything necessary to fully preserve the
initial priority of the Mortgage. If Borrower fails to make any such payment or
if a lien (other than a Permitted Encumbrance) attaches to the Property or any
portion thereof, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) make such payment or
discharge such lien and Borrower shall reimburse Lender on demand for all such
Advances.

commercial or investment purposes.

modifications to the Ground Lease other than those listed under the definition
of Ground Lease contained in this Agreement. The Ground Lease is in full force
and effect and free from default on the part of Borrower and
the Ground Lessor, and, to the Knowledge of Borrower, no events have occurred
which, with the passage of time, would constitute a default under the Ground
Lease. The Borrower shall provide to the Lender copies of all notices
(including, without limitation, notices of defaults by Borrower) received with
respect to the Ground Lease within five (5) Business Days of Borrower's receipt
of the same. The Ground Lease embodies the entire transaction between Borrower

ARTICLE 4
FURTHER COVENANTS OF BORROWER
1.6 Covenants. Borrower hereby further covenants and agrees with Lender a
s follows:
1. Taxes and Impositions.
(1) Borrower shall pay and discharge all Impositions prior to
delinquency. Borrower shall provide to Lender validated receipts or other
evidence satisfactory to Lender showing the payment of all real estate and
personal property taxes within 15 days after the same would otherwise have
become delinquent. Borrower's obligation to pay Impositions pursuant to this
Agreement shall include, to the extent permitted by applicable law, taxes
resulting from future changes in law which impose upon Lender an obligation to
pay any property taxes or other Impositions. Should Borrower default in the
payment of any Impositions, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) pay such
Impositions or any portion thereof and Borrower shall reimburse Lender on demand
for all such Advances.
(2) Borrower shall not be required to pay, discharge or remove any
Imposition so long as Borrower contests in good faith such Imposition or the
validity, applicability or amount thereof by an appropriate legal proceeding
which operates to prevent the collection of such
amounts and the sale of the Property or any portion thereof; provided, however,
that prior to the date on which such Imposition would otherwise have become
delinquent Borrower shall have (i) given Lender prior written notice of such
contest, and (ii) provided reasonable evidence to Lender that Borrower has
available funds to pay the balance of such Imposition then remaining unpaid, and
all interest, penalties, costs and charges accrued or accumulated thereon. Any
such contest shall be prosecuted with due diligence, and Borrower shall promptly
pay the amount of such Imposition as finally determined, together with all
interest and penalties payable in connection therewith. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Section 4.1.A to the contrary, Borrower shall pay any
Imposition which it might otherwise be entitled to contest if, in the reasonable
discretion of Lender, the Property is in jeopardy or in danger of being
forfeited or foreclosed. If Borrower refuses to pay any such Imposition, Lender
may (but shall not be obligated to) make such payment and Borrower shall
reimburse Lender on demand for all such Advances.
2. Deposits.
(1) Borrower shall provide Lender with evidence of the timely
payment of all insurance premiums. For so long as Borrower's insurance coverages
are part of blanket coverages with other properties, Borrower shall not be
required to deposit in escrow any insurance premiums. Initially, so long as (i)
Borrower provides Lender with evidence of the timely payment of all real estate
and personal property taxes and (ii) Borrower is not required to make payments
of Reserve Funds pursuant to Section 4.1.R as of the most recent Calculation
Date, Borrower shall not be required to deposit in escrow any funds for real
estate and personal property taxes as hereinafter provided; provided, however,
Lender, in its sole discretion, may at any time require Borrower to do the
following:
(1) Deposit with Lender (or such agent of Lender as Lender may
designate in writing to Borrower from time to time), monthly,
on the due date of each monthly installment under the Note,
1/12th of the annual charges (as estimated by Lender) for all
real estate and personal property taxes; and
(2) Deposit with Lender, simultaneously with such above-referenced
monthly deposits, a sum of money which together with such
monthly deposits will be sufficient to make the payment of
each such charge at least 30 days prior to the date initially
due. Should such charges not be ascertainable at the time any
deposit is required to be made, the deposit shall be made on
the basis of the charges for the prior year or payment period,
as reasonably estimated by Lender. When the charges are fixed
for the then current year or period, Borrower shall deposit
any deficiency on demand.
(2) Any interest earned on the sums held by Lender pursuant to this
Section 4.1.B shall be added to said sums and shall be taxable to Borrower, and
shall, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred, be disbursed by
Lender for the payment of the applicable real estate
and personal property taxes. Should an Event of Default occur, the funds so
deposited may be applied in payment of the charges for which such funds shall
have been deposited or to the payment of the Indebtedness or any other charges
affecting the Property, as Lender in its sole and absolute discretion may
determine, but no such application shall be deemed to have been made by
operation of law or otherwise until actually made by Lender as herein provided.
Borrower shall provide Lender with bills and all other documents necessary for
the payment of the foregoing charges at least 30 days prior to the date on which
each payment thereof shall first become due or promptly upon receipt of such
bill.
3. Mortgage Taxes. Borrower shall pay any and all taxes, charges, filing,
registration and recording fees, excises and levies imposed upon Lender by
reason of their respective interests in, or measured by amounts payable under,
the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or any other Loan Document (other than
income, franchise and doing business taxes), and shall pay all stamp taxes and
other taxes required to be paid on the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the
other Loan Documents. If Borrower fails to make such payment within five days
after notice thereof from Lender, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) pay
the amount due, and Borrower shall reimburse Lender on demand for all such
Advances. If applicable law prohibits Borrower from paying such taxes, charges,
filing, registration and recording fees, excises, levies, stamp taxes or other
taxes, then Lender may declare the Indebtedness then unpaid to be due and
payable upon one hundred twenty (120) days prior written notice. In such event,
no prepayment fee shall be charged.
4. No Liens. Except for Permitted Encumbrances, and except as provided in
Section 4.1.F and Section 4.1.O, the Property shall be kept free and clear of
all liens, security interests and encumbrances of every nature or description
(whether for taxes or assessments, or charges for labor, materials, supplies or
services or any other thing). Other than the Permitted Encumbrances, Borrower
will not cause or permit any instrument or document affecting the Property to be
recorded without Lender's prior written consent thereto.
5. Condition of Premises. Consistent with current practice and industry
standards, Borrower shall keep and maintain the Property in good order,
condition and repair and shall make, as and when the same shall become
necessary, all structural and non-structural, exterior and interior, ordinary
and extraordinary, foreseen and unforeseen, repairs and maintenance necessary or
appropriate. Borrower shall suffer or commit no waste upon the Premises or any
portion thereof. Borrower shall, at its expense, promptly repair, restore,
replace or rebuild any part of the Property which may be damaged or destroyed by
any casualty (provided that, to the extent Borrower is entitled to receive
insurance Proceeds in accordance with the provisions of Article 6, such proceeds
are made available to Borrower) or as the result of any taking under the power
of eminent domain to the extent permitted given the size, scope and extent of
the taking. Borrower shall cause all repairs, maintenance, rebuilding,
replacement or restoration to be (in the reasonable opinion of Lender) of
substantially equivalent quality and to be performed in compliance with all
applicable requirements of any Governmental Authorities having
jurisdiction, including without limitation all federal, state, and local
environmental laws. Borrower shall not cause, suffer or permit the construction
of any material buildings, structures, or improvements on the Premises without
the prior written consent of Lender to the proposed construction as well as the
plans and specifications relating thereto. None of the buildings, structures, or
improvements erected or located on the Premises shall be removed, demolished or
substantially or structurally altered in any material respect without the prior
written consent of Lender. Lender's consents hereunder shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.
6. Personal Property. Effective as of the Closing, all of the Personal
Property will be owned by Borrower in Borrower's name except for those items
identified on Schedule 4.1.F attached hereto, which are leased by Borrower.
7. Compliance. Borrower shall comply with all (i) building, zoning, fire,
health, environmental, disability and use laws, and all other laws, codes,
ordinances, rules and regulations applicable to the Premises, the Improvements
or any part thereof or the construction of any improvements thereon, or the use
or enjoyment thereof, (ii) covenants and restrictions of record, and (iii)
easements which are in any way applicable to the Premises, the Improvements or
any part thereof or to the construction of any improvements thereon and the use
or enjoyment thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any
asbestos or lead-based paint (or any other hazardous substance) located at the
Premises shall be handled and managed in compliance with all applicable federal,
state, and local laws and requirements.
8. Performance of Agreements. Borrower shall duly and punctually perform,
observe and comply with all of the terms, provisions, conditions, covenants and
agreements on its part to be performed, observed and complied with hereunder and
under (i) the other Loan Documents, (ii) the Permitted Encumbrances, (iii) the
Management Agreement, (iv) the Franchise Agreement, (v) the Ground Lease and
(vi) all agreements entered into or assumed by Borrower in connection with the
Property, and Borrower will not suffer or permit any default or Event of Default
(giving effect to any applicable notice requirements and cure periods) to exist
under any of the foregoing.
9. Lender's Expenses. Borrower shall, or shall cause the Guarantor to,
pay, on demand by Lender, all reasonable expenses, charges, costs and fees in
connection with the negotiation and documentation of the Loan, including all
registration and recording fees, insurance consultant fees, if any,
environmental consultant fees, costs of appraisals, costs or fees incurred in
connection with market studies, costs of engineering reports, cost of credit
reports, cost of audits, fees and disbursements of all counsel (both local and
special) for Lender, escrow fees, cost of surveys, fees and expenses of Lender's
Consultant or others employed by Lender to inspect the Premises from time to

for travel expenses in excess of $1,500 in any twelve month period. At Closing,
Lender may pay directly from the proceeds of the Loan each of the foregoing
expenses.
10. Intentionally Omitted.
11. Financial Statements.
(1) Borrower shall provide to Lender (i) annual financial statements
of Borrower and Guarantor and all such financial statements shall be prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied

reasonably request, and (iv) copies of all Federal income tax returns for
Borrower and Guarantor certified by Borrower and Guarantor, respectively, to be
true and correct. All such financial statements, cash flow statements and

(2) Lender may, at Borrower's sole cost and expense and following
written notice to Borrower, require that any or all of the foregoing annual
financial statements be prepared on an "audited" basis, so called.
12. Management and Cash Management. Borrower shall provide competent and
responsible management for the Property by a management company, and pursuant to
a written management agreement, reasonably satisfactory to Lender. The existing
Manager and Management Agreement are satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall not
enter into any other management agreement or arrangement with any other party
with respect to the management of the Property without Lender's prior written
consent. Borrower shall not modify, amend or terminate the Management Agreement
without Lender's prior written consent. Borrower shall provide Lender with
written notice of the occurrence of any event of default or condition which with
the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute an event of
default under the Management Agreement or any subsequent management agreement
which Lender may have approved. The Management Fee(s) shall not exceed a base
fee(s) in an amount equal to 5% of Gross Revenues. The payment of any Management
Fees over and above an amount equal to 3% of Gross Revenues shall be subordinate
to all payments to be made to Lender as provided in the Management,

date herewith. Borrower shall not modify, amend or terminate the Cash Management
Agreement in any material respect without Lender's prior written consent.

voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, and whether or
not for consideration or of record) all or any portion of any legal or
beneficial interest in all or any portion of the Property or the Leases. Any
such transfer or encumbrance, as aforesaid, shall be deemed to be an Event of
Default hereunder, and shall entitle Lender to declare the Loan immediately due
and payable.
14. Estoppel Certificates. Within ten (10) Business Days following a
request by Lender, Borrower shall provide to Lender a duly acknowledged written
statement confirming the amount of the outstanding Indebtedness, the terms of

and whether any offsets or defenses exist against the Indebtedness. If any such

in detail. The Lender agrees to provide the Borrower, within ten (10) Business
Days following a request by Borrower, a payoff letter affirming the amount of
the Loan then outstanding.
15. Space Leases, Service Agreements and Equipment Leases. Borrower shall
not, without the prior written consent of Lender, enter into or modify, amend or

the Premises or any portion thereof shall (a) be subordinate to the lien of the
Mortgage, (b) be pursuant to an arms' length transaction and (c) not contain any
term which would materially affect Lender's rights under the Loan Documents.

transaction.
Within ten (10) days following the execution by Borrower of any new Lease,
Borrower shall deliver to Lender a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment
Agreement executed by the tenant under such Lease which is in form satisfactory
to Lender unless the Lease contains subordination, non-disturbance and

under each Lease and shall not suffer or permit any breach or default on the
part of the landlord to occur thereunder.
16. Condemnation. Borrower shall not enter into any agreement for the
taking of the Premises or any part thereof with anyone authorized to acquire the
same in or by condemnation proceedings, or by the exercise of any power of
eminent domain, unless and until Lender shall have consented thereto in writing.

Standard.
(3) If Borrower is required to make payments of Reserved Funds
pursuant to this Section 4.1.R for four (4) consecutive
Calculation Dates, so long as no Event of Default or Incipient
Default exists, Lender may, on such fourth consecutive
Calculation Date, apply all Reserved Funds to the repayment of
the Loan. No such repayment shall be subject to any prepayment
fee or premium. Thereafter, all Reserved Funds may be applied
by Lender, upon
receipt, to the repayment of the Loan, as aforesaid; provided,
however, if on any subsequent Calculation Date the DSCR shall
be equal to or greater than the Required Coverage Standard,
Borrower's obligation to deposit the Reserved Funds with
Lender shall be suspended until any Calculation Date
thereafter when the DSCR is less than the Required Coverage
Standard.

twenty-fifth (25th) day of each Loan Month thereafter, Borrower shall deposit

Gross Revenues for the preceding Accounting Period. So long as no Event of
Default or Incipient Default (other than an Incipient Default which is
susceptible to cure and as to which Borrower is diligently pursuing such cure)

terms and conditions: (i) all Capital Reserve funds released by Lender to
Borrower shall be used to pay Borrower for the reasonable expenses actually
incurred by Borrower for the acquisition, repair, or replacement of furniture,
fixtures or equipment necessary for the management and operation of the Property
(based on invoices furnished by Borrower) under an annual budget approved by
Lender for said acquisitions, repairs and replacements; (ii) all requests by
Borrower for a disbursement of Capital Reserve funds shall be in writing and
shall not be made more frequently than once per Loan Month; (iii) each such
request for a disbursement shall be in an amount of not less than $10,000.00;
and (iv) Borrower shall provide Lender with invoices, contracts providing for
progress payments or paid receipts covering the expenses for which Borrower
seeks payment or reimbursement from the Capital Reserve funds. Prior to the
disbursement of any Capital Reserve funds, Borrower shall also provide Lender
with (i) evidence satisfactory to Lender that Borrower has accepted possession
of said items and commenced using the same in the management and operation of
the Property, or the applicable contract requires an advance
payment prior to manufacture or delivery and (ii) paid receipts covering the
expenses for which Capital Reserve funds were previously disbursed.
21. Funds Deposited with Lender. All funds of Borrower which are deposited
with Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be held
in a separate account and invested in an interest-bearing account (at not less
than money market rates). Any interest which accrues on said funds shall, at
Lender's sole option, be paid to Borrower or be held as part of the applicable
funds being held by Lender for the same purpose for which the principal sum of
said funds is being held by Lender. The Capital Reserve fund shall be reviewed
by the Lender annually on the anniversary of the Loan to determine if sufficient
sums are being funded for the expenses provided for herein. If the Lender
determines, in its reasonable discretion, that the Capital Reserve fund is
insufficient, Borrower shall pay all funding shortages within thirty (30) days
after notice by Lender. To secure all of Borrower's obligations to Lender under
the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby grants to Lender a security interest in all
funds now or hereafter deposited with Lender or otherwise in Lender's
possession, custody or control pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, including all funds deposited pursuant to Sections
4.1.B, 4.1.R, and 4.1.T of this Agreement. So long as any Event of Default
exists, Lender shall have such rights with respect to such funds and any
interest accrued thereon as are provided by applicable law and may apply such
funds towards the satisfaction of Borrower's obligations hereunder or under any
other Loan Documents. Without limiting any of the foregoing provisions, at the
request of Lender, Borrower shall execute and deliver from time to time such
documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in Lender's sole judgment, to
assure Lender that it has a first priority perfected security interest in and
lien on all funds deposited pursuant to Sections 4.1.B, 4.1.R, and 4.1.T of this
Agreement, including the creation of a deposit account in the name of Borrower
in a banking institution approved by Lender either within or outside of the
State of Ohio, as directed by Lender, into which any or all of such funds will
be deposited and maintained, subject to the rights of Lender with respect to
such funds as provided herein. Lender reserves the right to inspect such repairs
or replacements prior to the release of funds at Borrower's expense provided
that such inspection expenses shall not exceed $1,500 in any twelve (12) month
period.
22. Audit and Inspection by Lender. Lender shall have the right, upon
reasonable prior notice, and Borrower shall permit and shall cooperate with
Lender in arranging for, at any reasonable time and from time to time, Lender
and its representatives (i) to inspect the Property, and (ii) to review and
audit all books, records and financial statements of Borrower (including all
supporting data and any other records from which the Net Cash Flow may be
determined); and Borrower shall make all such books of account and records
available for such examination at the office where the same are regularly
maintained. Lender shall have the right to copy, duplicate and make abstracts
from such books and records as Lender may require. If any audit by Lender
discloses that payments of Net Cash Flow which should have been made by Borrower
exceeds the sums which were actually made by Borrower, then Borrower shall,
within ten (10) days following written notice from Lender, pay to Lender the
difference between said amounts,
together with interest on such amount at the Default Rate from the date such
amounts should have been paid to the date of post-audit payment. Borrower shall
pay Lender's costs and expenses incurred in connection with no more than one (1)
such audit per year. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) all of such
audits, inspections and reports shall be made for the sole benefit of Lender,
and not for the benefit of Borrower or any third party, and neither Lender nor
Lender's auditors or inspectors or any of Lender's representatives, agents or
contractors assumes any responsibility or liability (except to Lender) by reason
of such audits, inspections or reports, (ii) Borrower will not rely upon any of
such audits, inspections or reports for any purpose whatsoever, and (iii) the
performance of such audits, inspections and reports will not constitute a waiver
of any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any of
the obligations of Borrower hereunder or thereunder. Borrower further
acknowledges and agrees that neither Lender nor Lender's inspectors,
representatives, agents or contractors shall be deemed to be in any way
responsible for any matters related to design or construction of the
Improvements.
23. Appraisal. At any time during the term of the Loan, Borrower shall
cooperate with Lender and use reasonable efforts to assist Lender in obtaining
an appraisal of the Property. Such cooperation and assistance from Borrower
shall include but not be limited to the obligation to provide Lender or Lender's
appraiser with the following: (i) reasonable access to the Property, (ii) a
current certified rent roll for the Property in form and substance satisfactory
to Lender, current asking rents and a history of change in asking rents and
historical vacancy for the past three years, (iii) current and budgeted income
and expense statements for the prior three years, (iv) a site plan and survey of
Property (to the extent available and at no cost to Borrower), (v) the building
plans and specifications, including typical elevation and floor plans (to the
extent available and at no cost to Borrower), (vi) a photocopy of the deed
conveying the Property to Borrower, together with the legal description of the
Property, (vii) the current and prior year real estate tax bills, (viii) a
detailed list of past and scheduled capital improvements made during Borrower's
period of ownership and the costs thereof, (ix) a summary of the then current
ownership entity, (x) all environmental reports and other applicable information
relating to the Property, and (xi) copies of all recent appraisals/property
description information or brochures, including descriptions of amenities and
services relating to the Property. The appraiser performing any such appraisal
shall be engaged by Lender, and Lender shall be responsible for any fees payable
to said appraiser in connection with an appraisal of the Property.
24. Accounts. Borrower agrees that, at any time requested by Lender in
writing after an Incipient Default or Event of Default has occurred, Borrower
will do all acts requested by Lender to perfect or confirm the continued
perfection of Lender's security interest in all of Borrower's bank accounts,
including, without limitation, appointing a collateral agent satisfactory to
Lender and segregating all of Borrower's funds from those of Manager or any
Affiliates.
25. Deferred Origination Fee. Borrower acknowledges that the Lender has
earned the Deferred Origination Fee as of the date hereof although the Lender
has agreed to defer its payment as hereinafter provided. Borrower agrees that it
shall pay the Deferred Origination Fee
to the Lender when the Loan is paid or becomes payable in full whether at the
Maturity Date or upon earlier prepayment or acceleration.
26. Limitation on Indebtedness. Borrower shall not, without the prior
written consent of Lender, create, assume, incur or guaranty, directly or
indirectly, any indebtedness or obligation, except for (i) lease financing or
purchase money financing for equipment, incurred after the date hereof, which is
secured by the equipment so leased or purchased and which lease or purchase
money financings do not contain payment obligations, in the aggregate, in excess
of $25,000 per year, or (ii) the Other Borrower Loans.
ARTICLE 5
AGREEMENT TO LEND
1.7 Agreement to Lend. On the basis of the covenants, agreements and
representations of Borrower contained in, and subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lender
agrees to lend to Borrower the principal sum of up to $35,073,117. The entire
proceeds of the Loan shall be disbursed by Lender at Closing. Borrower shall use
the Loan proceeds for the purpose for which they were advanced and for no other
purpose.
ARTICLE 6
INSURANCE AND CASUALTY
1.8 Insurance Provisions.
1. Insurance. Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, shall insure and
keep insured the Property against such perils and hazards, and in such amounts
and with such limits, as Lender may from time to time reasonably require. At the
time of the Closing, Lender's requirements for said insurance are set forth in
Exhibit D, which requirements Borrower acknowledges are reasonable and
customary. Borrower shall also carry such other insurance, and in such amounts,
as Lender may from time to time reasonably require, against insurable risks
which at the time are commonly insured against in the case of premises similarly
situated, due regard being given to the availability of insurance and to the
type of construction, location, utilities, use and occupancy of the Premises or
any replacements or substitutions therefor ("Additional Insurance"). Such
Additional Insurance may include flood, hurricane, earthquake, war risk, nuclear
explosion, demolition and contingent liability from the operation of
"nonconforming improvements" on the Premises, and shall be obtained within 30
days after demand by Lender. Otherwise, Borrower shall not obtain any separate
or additional insurance which is contributing in the event of loss, unless it is
properly endorsed and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Lender in all
respects. The Proceeds (as defined in the Mortgage) of insurance paid on account
of any damage to or
destruction of the Premises or any portion thereof shall be paid over to Lender
to be applied as hereinafter provided.
2. Evidence of Coverage. The insurance shall be evidenced by the original
policy or a true and certified copy of the original policy, or by certificates
of insurance. Said certified copies, original policies or certificates shall be
delivered to Lender at or prior to Closing. On or before the Closing and each
stated due date thereafter, Borrower shall pay all premiums and fees for the
insurance policies required hereunder. Borrower shall deliver certified copies
of all policies and renewals (or certificates evidencing the same) to Lender at
least thirty (30) days before the expiration of existing policies. Each such
policy shall provide that such policy may not be canceled or materially changed
except upon 30 days prior written notice of intention of non-renewal,
cancellation or material change to Lender, and that no act or thing done by
Borrower shall invalidate the policy as against Lender. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein or in any provision of law, the Proceeds of
insurance policies coming into the possession of Lender and which are not to be
used for the Work (as hereinafter defined) shall not be deemed trust funds and
Lender shall be entitled to dispose of such Proceeds as hereinafter provided. If
Lender has not received satisfactory evidence of such renewal or substitute
insurance in the time frame herein specified, Lender shall have the right, but
not the obligation, to purchase such insurance for Lender's interest only. Any
amounts so disbursed by Lender pursuant to this Section 6.1.B shall be deemed to
be a part of the Loan and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Nothing
contained in this Article 6 shall require Lender to incur any expense or take
any action hereunder, and inaction by Lender shall never be deemed a waiver of
any rights accruing to Lender on account of this Article 6.
3. Separate Insurance. Borrower shall not carry any separate insurance on
the Property concurrent in kind or form with any insurance required hereunder or
contributing in the event of loss without Lender's prior written consent, and
any such policy shall have attached a standard non-contributing mortgagee
clause, with loss payable to Lender, and shall meet all other requirements set
forth herein.
4. Damage to or Destruction of Premises. In the event of any damage to or
destruction of the Premises, Borrower shall give prompt written notice to Lender
and, provided Lender makes the Proceeds available for the costs of repair,
restoration and rebuilding, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently
continue to completion the repair, restoration and rebuilding of the Premises so
damaged or destroyed in full compliance with all legal requirements and with the
provisions of Section 6.1.F below, and free and clear from any and all liens and
claims. Such repair, restoration and rebuilding of the Premises are sometimes
hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Work." Borrower shall not adjust,
compromise or settle any claim(s) for insurance Proceeds without the prior
written consent of Lender unless such claim(s) does not exceed $100,000 in the
aggregate in which case no consent of Lender is required. Subject to Sections
6.1E and F, below, Lender shall have the option in its sole discretion to apply
any insurance Proceeds it may receive pursuant to the Mortgage (less any cost to
Lender of recovering and
paying out such Proceeds, including reasonable attorneys' fees) to the payment
of the Indebtedness or to allow all or a portion of such Proceeds to be used for
the Work. If any insurance Proceeds are applied to reduce the Indebtedness,
Lender shall apply the same in the following order:
(1) first, to the payment of interest due on any Advances;
(2) next, to the principal amount of any Advances;
(3) next, to any Late Charges (as provided in the Note);
(4) next, to accrued interest then due under the Note; and
(5) finally, to the unpaid principal balance of the Note.
If Lender applies insurance Proceeds to reduce the Indebtedness, no
prepayment fee shall be due with respect to any prepayment effected thereby.
5. Restoration. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.1.D above, if,
in Lender's reasonable judgment, the Work can be completed within 18 months of
the occurrence of said damage or destruction, then Lender shall, upon request by
Borrower, permit Borrower to use the insurance Proceeds for the Work (subject to
the provisions of, and less Lender's costs described in, Section 6.1.F below),
so long as Lender, in its reasonable judgment, is satisfied that as of each date
on which such insurance Proceeds are to be applied to payment thereof:
(1) The insurance Proceeds held by Lender in respect of the
applicable casualty equal or exceed such estimated cost of
effecting such repair and restoration, or such portion thereof
as then remains to be completed and paid for or Borrower
provides evidence satisfactory to Lender that Borrower has
funds available to pay any shortfall, and, if required by
Lender, escrows such funds with Lender for disbursement in
accordance with the requirements of Section 6.1.F;
(2) The Management Agreement shall remain in full force and effect
and all material Leases, if any, shall remain in full force
and effect, and no tenant thereunder shall be entitled to
cancel or terminate its Lease as a consequence of such
casualty;
(3) Upon completion of the Work, the monthly revenues from the
Property shall, in Lender's reasonable judgment, be sufficient
to pay all interest and other sums due and payable under the
Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;
(4) The Work will, in Lender's reasonable judgment, be completed
on or prior to May 31, 2000;
(5) There is in force and effect for the benefit of Borrower and
Lender rental or business interruption insurance sufficient to
provide coverage for one hundred percent (100%) of all income
lost as a consequence of such casualty for not less than the
projected period for the completion of the Work or Borrower
provides evidence satisfactory to Lender that Borrower has
funds available to pay all interest and other sums due and
payable under the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, as well as all other expenses of the Property
during such period and, if required by Lender, escrows such
funds with Lender for application to the payment of such
obligations as they come due;
(6) The Work will be effected pursuant to plans and specifications
reasonably approved in writing by Lender, and by a general
contractor and major subcontractors, and pursuant to
contracts, reasonably approved in writing by Lender; and
(7) The Work can be effected in compliance with all applicable
laws and Borrower has obtained all licenses, permits, consents
and approvals from all applicable governmental authorities or
private parties required to permit Borrower to effect such
restoration and repair and to use, operate and occupy the
repaired and restored premises upon completion thereof (other
than those which will issue in the ordinary course upon
completion) and that the same are in full force and effect.
Lender shall have no obligation to make such insurance Proceeds available to pay
for the Work if (A) the Loan shall have been accelerated and the principal and
accrued interest owing on the Loan have become due and payable, or (B) there
shall exist an Event of Default or Incipient Default other than an Incipient
Default which is susceptible to cure and as to which Borrower is diligently
pursuing such cure.
6. Distribution of Proceeds. If any insurance Proceeds are used for the
Work, then such Proceeds shall be held by Lender and shall be paid out from time
to time to Borrower as the Work progresses (less any cost to Lender of
recovering and paying out such Proceeds, including reasonable attorneys' fees
and costs allocable to inspecting the Work and the plans and specifications
therefor), subject to each of the following conditions:
(1) If the Work is structural or if the cost of the Work is
reasonably estimated by Lender to exceed $250,000, the Work
shall be conducted under the
supervision of a certified and registered architect or
engineer unless otherwise waived in writing by the Lender.
Before Borrower commences any Work, other than temporary work
to protect property or prevent interference with business,
Lender shall have approved in writing the plans and
specifications for the Work, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, it being nevertheless
understood that such plans and specifications shall provide
for Work so that, upon completion thereof, the Premises shall
be at least equal in value and general utility to the Premises
prior to the damage or destruction.
(2) Each request for payment shall be made on not less than ten
(10) Business Days prior notice to Lender and shall be
accompanied by a certificate of the architect or engineer in
(i) above (or a certificate given by Borrower if no architect
or engineer is so required) stating (A) that all of the Work
completed has been done in substantial compliance with the
approved plans and specifications, if required under (i)
above, (B) that the sum requested is justly required to
reimburse the Borrower for payments by Borrower, or is justly
due to the contractor, subcontractors, materialmen, laborers,
engineers, architects or other persons rendering services or
materials for the Work (giving a brief description of such
services and materials), and that when added to all sums
previously paid out by Lender does not exceed the value of the
Work done to the date of such certificate, (C) if the sum
requested is to cover payment relating to repair and
restoration of personal property required or relating to the
Premises, that title to the personal property items covered by
the request for payment is vested in Borrower, and (D) that
the amount of such Proceeds remaining in the hands of Lender
will be sufficient on completion of the Work to pay for the
same in full (giving in such reasonable detail as Lender may
require an estimate of the cost of such completion).
Additionally, each request for payment shall contain a
statement signed by Borrower approving both the Work done to
date and the Work covered by the request for payment in
question. Each request for payment shall be accompanied by
waivers of lien satisfactory to Lender covering that part of
the Work for which payment or reimbursement is being requested
and, if required by Lender, a search prepared by a title
company or an attorney authorized to practice law in the
State, or by other evidence satisfactory to Lender that there
has not been filed with respect to the Premises any mechanics'
or other lien or instrument for the retention of title
relating to any part of the Work not discharged of record.
Additionally, as to any personal property covered by the
request for payment, Lender shall be furnished with evidence
of payment therefor and such further evidence satisfactory to
assure Lender of its valid first lien on the personal
property.
(3) Lender or its designee shall have the right to inspect the
Work at all reasonable times and may condition any
disbursement of Proceeds upon the satisfactory completion, as
determined in Lender's reasonable discretion, of any portion
of the Work for which payment or reimbursement is being
requested. The cost of any such inspection of the Work shall
be paid by Borrower prior to or simultaneously with the next
disbursement of any portion of the Proceeds. Neither the
approval by Lender of the plans and specifications for the
Work nor the inspection by Lender of the Work shall make
Lender responsible for the preparation of such plans and
specifications or the compliance of such plans and
specifications, or of the Work, with any applicable law,
regulation, ordinance, covenant or agreement.
(4) Proceeds shall not be disbursed more frequently than every 30
days.
(5) Any request for payment made after the Work has been completed
shall be accompanied by a copy or copies of any certificate or
certificates required by law to render occupancy and full
operation of the Premises legal.
(6) Upon completion of the Work and payment in full therefor, or
upon any failure on the part of Borrower to promptly commence
the Work, or upon the failure on the part of Borrower to
proceed diligently and continuously to completion of the Work
(subject to allowance for reasonable delays and interruptions
in the supply of materials and labor not caused by any act or
omission of Borrower), Lender may apply any such proceeds it
then or thereafter holds to the payment of the Indebtedness;
provided, however, that Lender shall be entitled to apply at
any time all or any portion of insurance Proceeds it then
holds to the curing of any Event of Default. Upon completion
of the Work, so long as no Event of Default exists, any
remaining insurance Proceeds held by Lender shall be paid to
Borrower.
7. Miscellaneous Insurance Provisions.
(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.1, if in
Lender's reasonable judgment the cost of the Work is less than
$250,000 and such Work can be completed in less than 60 days
and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, then Lender shall, upon request by Borrower,
permit Borrower to apply for and receive the insurance
Proceeds directly from the insurer (and Lender shall advise
the insurer to pay over such Proceeds directly to Borrower),
provided that Borrower shall apply such insurance Proceeds
solely to the prompt and diligent commencement and completion
of such Work.
(2) In the event of the foreclosure of the Mortgage or other
transfer of title to or assignment of the Property in
extinguishment of the Indebtedness in whole or in part, all
right, title and interest of Borrower in and to any insurance
Proceeds shall inure to the benefit of and pass to Lender or
any purchaser or transferee of the Property.
(3) Borrower hereby authorizes Lender, during all periods in which
an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured, to
settle any insurance claims, to obtain insurance Proceeds, and
to endorse any checks, drafts or other instruments
representing any insurance Proceeds whether payable by reason
of loss thereunder or otherwise.
ARTICLE 6A
RENOVATION WORK
6A.1 Construction. During the pendency of the Renovation Work, Borrower

consents required for the use, occupancy and operation of the Premises, as

constructed in accordance with all applicable requirements of any Governmental
Authority having jurisdiction with respect thereto including, without
limitation, obtaining all licenses, permits, approvals and consents for the use,

by the Renovation Work.
6A.4 Other Remedies of Lender. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
in addition to any other remedies available to Lender by the terms of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or by law, Lender may at its sole
discretion: (a) complete the Renovation Work (with such changes as Lender shall
deem appropriate), all at the risk, cost and expense of Borrower; (b)
discontinue at any time the Renovation Work; (c) engage builders, contractors,
engineers, architects and others for the purpose of furnishing labor, material
and equipment in connection with the Renovation Work, which personnel may, but
need not, be the same as those engaged by Borrower; (d) pay, compromise or
settle all bills or claims incurred in connection with the Renovation Work; and
(e) take or refrain from taking such action with respect to the Renovation Work
as Lender may from time to time reasonably determine. All such action shall be
at Borrower's sole cost and expense, such sums being secured by the Mortgage.

equipment or other installations thereon, it being understood and agreed that
this power of attorney shall be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be
revoked. Lender and its designees, representatives, agents, licensees and
contractors shall be entitled to the entry, possession and use contemplated
herein without the consent of any party and without any legal process or other
condition precedent whatsoever. Borrower acknowledges that any denial of such
entry, possession and use by Lender will cause irreparable injury and damage to
Lender and agrees that Lender may forthwith sue for any remedy to enforce the
immediate enjoyment of such right. Borrower hereby waives the posting of any
bond as a condition for exercising such remedy.
3. Apply the sum of any Reserved Funds and Capital Reserve payments then
being held by Lender to the repayment of the Loan in any order or priority.
4. Declare any or all of the Other Borrower Loans and the Related Party
Loans to be in default and to pursue all of its rights and remedies with respect
thereto.
Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, all funds
advanced or disbursed by Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Article 7
shall be deemed advanced by Lender under an obligation to do so regardless of
the identity of the person or persons to whom such funds are owed and shall bear
interest at the Default Rate. Funds advanced or disbursed by Lender in the
exercise of its judgment that the same are needed to protect its security or to
otherwise perform any obligations of Borrower hereunder are to be deemed
obligatory advances hereunder and are to be added to the total indebtedness
evidenced by the Note and secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents
and said indebtedness shall, if necessary, be increased accordingly.
In case of any Event of Default hereunder, Borrower will pay Lender's
attorneys' fees and disbursements and court costs (including those relating to
appeals) and all related expenses in connection with the enforcement of this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
ARTICLE 8
MISCELLANEOUS
1.11 Indemnification. Except for Losses (as hereinafter defined) which are
finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen directly
and proximately from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender or
have arisen solely and exclusively from acts or events occurring after the
Borrower has relinquished all possession, direction or control over the
Property, Borrower shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Lender, and its
officers, directors, employees and agents (each, an "Indemnified Party")
harmless from and against any and all harm, loss, liability, damage, suit,
claim, demand, expense, fees, costs, judgments and penalties (including
reasonable attorneys' fees but excluding consequential damages) (each a "Loss")
suffered or incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with (i) any claim,
demand, suit or proceeding brought or asserted by any person against an
Indemnified Party arising out of or relating to Lender's entering into or
carrying out the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or
being the holder of the Note, (ii) any default by Borrower or any other Loan
Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (iii) any bodily injury,
death, other personal injury or property damage occurring in or upon the
Property through any cause whatsoever, and (iv) any transaction otherwise
arising out of or in any way connected with the Property, this Agreement, any
other Loan Document or the Indebtedness, excluding a Loss arising out of
Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
1.12 Defense of Claims. Lender may, at Borrower's sole cost and expense,
retain separate counsel to defend Lender against any claim relating to any Loss
or potential Loss. If Lender retains separate counsel in such an action,
Borrower will cooperate with Lender and provide Lender with copies of all
existing pleadings, discovery materials and other materials relating to said
claim. In any event, Borrower shall defend any such claim and shall provide
Lender with copies of all pleadings, filings and correspondence relating
thereto.
1.13 Performance by Lender. In the event that Borrower shall at any time
fail to duly and punctually pay, perform, observe or comply with any of its
covenants and agreements hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, or if any
Event of Default hereunder shall exist, then Lender may (but shall in no event
be required to) make any such payment or perform any such term, provision,
condition, covenant or agreement or cure any such Event of Default. Lender shall
not take action under this Section 8.3 prior to the occurrence of an Event of
Default unless in Lender's reasonable judgment, such action is necessary or
appropriate in order to preserve the value of the collateral, to protect persons
or property, or Borrower has abandoned the Property or any portion thereof.
Lender shall not be obligated to continue any such action having commenced the
same and may cease the same without notice to Borrower. Any amounts expended by
Lender in connection with such action shall constitute additional advances
hereunder, the payment of which is additional indebtedness, secured by the Loan
Documents and shall become due and payable upon demand by Lender, with interest
at the Default Rate from the date of disbursement thereof until fully paid. No
further direction or authorization from Borrower shall be necessary for such
disbursements. The execution of this Agreement by Borrower shall and hereby does
constitute an irrevocable direction and authorization to Lender to so disburse
such funds.
1.14 Transfer or Assignment. Lender may assign, negotiate, pledge or
otherwise hypothecate all or any portion of the Loan or grant participation
therein, or in any of its rights and security hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents, and Borrower shall accord full recognition thereto provided that if
the Loan is assigned to any party other than Nationwide Life Insurance Company
or any other life insurance company, financial institution or other commercial
or institutional lender, or affiliate thereof, then Borrower must consent to
such assignment which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Lender agrees to provide Borrower with
written notice of any assignment of the Loan other than to Nationwide Life
Insurance Company. Lender may deliver copies to any potential participant or
assignee or transferee of financial statements and other information from time
to time furnished to Lender pursuant hereto or in connection therewith provided
that Lender shall take such steps as may be reasonably necessary to assure that
such information remains confidential. Borrower shall not assign or attempt to
assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
other than Permitted Transfers.
1.15 Lender's Actions. The authority herein conferred upon Lender and any
action taken by Lender hereunder or in any other Loan Document will be taken by
Lender for its own protection only, and Lender does not and shall not be deemed
to have assumed any responsibility to Borrower or to any other person or persons
with respect to any such action herein authorized or taken by Lender. No person
shall be entitled to rely upon, or claim to have relied upon, any action taken
or failed to have been taken by Lender or any of its representatives.
1.16 Time is of the Essence. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.
1.17 Waivers. No waiver of any term, provision, condition, covenant or
agreement contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be effective
unless set forth in a writing signed by Lender, and any such waiver shall be
effective only to the extent set forth in such writing. No failure by Lender to
exercise, or delay by Lender in exercising, any right, power or privilege
hereunder or in any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder
preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other
right or remedy provided by law. No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case
shall, in itself, entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in
similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Lender to
any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.
1.18 Notices. Any notice which any party hereto may be required or may
desire to give hereunder shall be delivered personally, or by overnight express

protect, defend, indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against all loss,
cost, liability and expense incurred as a result of any claim for a broker's or

written request of Lender, Borrower shall execute, and, if required, record,
file (and pay all fees, taxes or other expenses relating thereto) all such
further documents and do all such other acts and things as Lender may reasonably
request to effectuate the transaction contemplated herein in accordance with the
terms hereof.
1.25 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Exhibits hereto and the other
Loan Documents and other documents referred to herein constitute the entire
agreement between the Lender and Borrower with respect to the subject matter
hereof and may not be modified or amended in any manner other than by
supplemental written agreement executed by the parties hereto.
1.26 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or the application thereof to any person or situation shall, to any
extent, be held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, and the application of such provision to persons or
situations other than those to which it shall have been held invalid or
unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, but shall continue valid and
enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
1.27 No Third Party Beneficiary. Except as hereinafter expressly provided,
this Agreement is made for the sole benefit of Borrower and Lender, and no other
person shall be deemed to have any privity of contract hereunder nor any right
to rely hereon to any extent or for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall any other
person have any right of action of any kind hereon or be deemed to be a third
party beneficiary hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Banc One Capital
Partners, VII, Ltd., its successors and assigns, shall be a third party
beneficiary of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of
Borrower and Guarantor under the Loan Documents for so long as it may own a
participation interest in the Loan.

ACCEPTED BY LENDER IN THE STATE OF OHIO, AND THE PROCEEDS OF THE LOAN EVIDENCED
HEREBY WERE OR ARE TO BE DISBURSED BY LENDER FROM THE STATE OF OHIO. BORROWER

TRANSACTION EVIDENCED HEREBY AND AGREE THAT THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND

shall, subject to the limitations and exceptions contained in subsections (b),
(c), (d) and (e) below, be limited to the collateral and security provided under
the Loan Documents and the Other Borrower Loan Documents. Anything herein to the

notwithstanding, Borrower and Guarantor shall be liable to Lender, without
limitation, for Lender's harm, loss (including lost interest and principal on
the Loan), damage, costs and expenses (including Lender's reasonable attorneys'
fees and court and collection costs) arising out of or in connection with any of
the following circumstances:
(1) any misapplication or misappropriation of any insurance or

(5) fraud in connection with the Loan or any Loan Document;
(6) any material breach of any representation or warranty made in
connection with the Loan (expressly excluding any

under the Bankruptcy Code, or the taking by Borrower of any comparable action
under any federal or state law; or the filing of any involuntary petition under

release Borrower or any Loan Party from liability under (i) the indemnifications
contained in Section 2.10 (Environmental Matters) of the Mortgage, (ii) the
Limited Guaranty, (iii) the Environmental Indemnity, or (iv) the Other Borrower
Loan Documents.

Lender of any remedies against any Loan Collateral or any Other Borrower Loan
Collateral, will not impede Lender from subsequently or simultaneously
exercising remedies against any other collateral, (iv) all liens and other
rights, remedies and privileges provided to Lender in this Agreement, and in the
other Loan Documents (except to the extent such documents have terminated or
expired pursuant to their terms) or otherwise shall remain in full force and

Borrower's obligations hereunder.
