(COCO, SLEE and OB shall sometimes be referred to herein individually and collectively as,
Borrower), each having an address at c/o Gladstone Commercial Corporation, 1521 Westbranch

(Lender), at the office of Lender at 300 Madison Avenue, 8th Floor, Attn: Real Estate Finance

writing from time to time, the Note Amount (as defined above), together with interest on so much
thereof as is from time to time outstanding and unpaid, from the date of the advance of the

lawful money of the United States of America, which shall at the time of payment be legal tender
in payment of all debts and dues, public and private.
ARTICLE I TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1.01 Payment of Principal and Interest.
(a) Interest shall be computed hereunder based on a 360-day year and paid for the actual
number of days elapsed for any whole or partial month in which interest is being calculated. In
computing the number of days during which interest accrues, the day on which funds are initially
advanced shall be included (regardless of the time of day such advance is made), and the day on
which funds are repaid shall be included unless repayment is credited prior to close of business of
such day. Payments in federal funds immediately available in the place designated for payment
received by Lender prior to 2:00 p.m. local time on a business day in the State of Lenders
principal office at said place of payment shall be credited prior to close of business of the day
such funds are received, while other payments may, at the option of Lender, not be credited until
immediately available to Lender in federal funds at the place designated for payment prior to 2:00
p.m. local time at said place of payment on a day on which Lender is open for business.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Note, during the period from the date hereof through
and including November 30, 2008 (such period, the Interest-Only Period), interest only
shall be payable, in arrears, on the first day of each calendar month (the first day of each
calendar month until payment in full of this Note is hereinafter referred to as a Payment
Date) beginning on the first day of the second full calendar month following the date of this
Note (or on the first day of the first full calendar month following the date hereof, in the event
the advance of the principal amount evidenced by this Note is the first day of a calendar month)
through and including the Payment Date on December 1, 2008. No amortization of the principal
balance of this Note shall be required during the Interest-Only Period.
(c) Beginning January 1, 2009, principal and interest shall be payable in equal consecutive
monthly installments, each in the amount of $83,594.36, on each Payment Date until payment in full
of this Note. As used in this Note and the other Loan Documents, Monthly Payment Amount shall
mean (i) for the period from the date hereof through and including the end of the interest-Only
Period, an amount equal to the monthly amount of interest due pursuant to Section 1.01(b) of this
Note, and (ii) for the period from and after the end of the Interest-Only Period, an amount equal
to $83,594,36. On the Applicable Maturity Date (as hereinafter defined), the entire outstanding
principal balance hereof, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon and all other sums
due hereunder, shall be due and payable in full. So long as no Event of Default (as hereinafter
defined) exists hereunder, each such monthly installment shall be applied first, to any amounts
hereafter advanced by Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, second, to any late fees
and other amounts payable to Lender, third, to the payment of accrued interest and last to
reduction of principal.
(d) If the advance of the principal amount evidenced by this Note is made on a date other than
the first day of a calendar month, then Borrower shall pay to Lender contemporaneously with the
execution hereof interest at the Note Rate for a period from the date of such advance through and
including the last day of such calendar month.
1.02 Prepayment.
(a) Borrower may not voluntarily prepay this Note in whole or in part at any time prior to the
expiration of the Lock-out Period. After the expiration of the Lock-out Period, Borrower may prepay
this Note in whole only, provided, that (i) written notice of such prepayment is received
by Lender not more than ninety (90) days and not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date of
such prepayment, (ii) such prepayment is accompanied by all interest accrued hereunder and all
other sums due hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (as defined in Section 1.04) and (iii)
such prepayment (x) is received by Lender on a Payment Date, or (y) if not received on a Payment
Date, is accompanied by a payment of interest, calculated at the Note Rate, on the amount prepaid,
based on the number of days from the date such prepayment is received through the next Payment
Date. Lock-out Period shall mean the period of time from the date hereof to, but not
including, the date that is three (3) months prior to the Maturity Date (as defined above).
(b) Except as hereinafter provided in this subparagraph (b), in the event that any prepayment
is accepted by Lender prior to the expiration of the Lock-out Period, or if a prepayment results
from Lenders exercise of its remedies hereunder, Borrower shall pay Lender a Yield Maintenance
Charge (as defined below) in connection with such prepayment. Prepayments of this Note prior to
the expiration of the Lock-out Period shall be permitted without notice, and without the imposition
of a Yield Maintenance Charge or any other premium or penalty in connection with Lenders
application of insurance or condemnation proceeds to the repayment of the Loan pursuant to the
Security Instrument (as defined in Section 1.04 hereof), provided, however, if an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of the related casualty or condemnation, in
addition to applying such proceeds as provided in the Security Instrument, Borrower shall pay a
Yield Maintenance Charge to Lender. Lender, at its option, may elect to use such casualty and
condemnation proceeds and Yield Maintenance Charge to defease an amount of the Loan equal to the
proceeds applied as a prepayment, in the manner provided in Section 1.03 below. Any prepayment
during the Lockout Period shall not reduce the Monthly Payment Amount payable hereunder unless such
prepayment is accompanied by a Yield Maintenance Charge and Lender elects, in its sole discretion,
to defease all or a portion of the Loan with the related proceeds. Notwithstanding the foregoing to
the contrary, in the event of a prepayment of the Loan following a casualty or condemnation and the
application by Lender of insurance proceeds to prepay all or a portion of the Loan, then provided
no Event of Default exists, Lender shall cause the Monthly Payment Amount to be recast based on the
remaining outstanding principal balance of the Loan (after giving effect to any such application of
insurance and/or condemnation proceeds to the Loan) assuming an amortization term that is equal to
the remaining number of months (following the date of such application of insurance
2
and/or condemnation proceeds) in the original amortization term applied by Lender to calculate the
original Monthly Payment Amount.
(c) No tender of a prepayment of this Note with respect to which a Yield Maintenance Charge
is due shall be effective unless such prepayment is accompanied by such Yield Maintenance Charge.
No principal amount repaid or defeased may be re-borrowed.
(d) As used in this Note, the Yield Maintenance Charge shall mean, as of any date,
the greater of (1) the excess, if any, of the Defeasance Deposit over the outstanding principal
balance of this Note, and (2) an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the outstanding principal
balance of this Note.
1.03 Defeasance.
(a) At any time during the Defeasance Period (as hereinafter defined), Borrower may obtain a
release of the Property from the lien of the Security Instrument and other Loan Documents upon the
satisfaction of the following conditions:
(1) not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice shall be given to Lender

the other Loan Documents up to the Defeasance Date, including, without

and expenses incurred in connection with obtaining and reviewing the Defeasance Collateral
(as hereinafter defined) and the preparation of the Defeasance Security Agreement (as
hereinafter defined) and related documentation), shall be paid in full on or prior to the
Defeasance Date;
(3) [RESERVED]
(4) on or before the Defeasance Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender the principal
amount of the Loan to be defeased together with an additional amount such that the aggregate
amount (the Defeasance Deposit) is sufficient to purchase direct, non-callable
and non- prepayable obligations of the United States of America or, at the option of Lender
(and with the approval of each applicable Rating Agency, if a Secondary Market Transaction
has then occurred (the two capitalized terms used above without definition shall have the
respective meanings attributed thereto in the Security Instrument)), other securities
considered government securities within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (the Defeasance Collateral) that provide for payments prior, but as
close as possible, to all successive Payment Dates occurring after the Defeasance Date
through and including the Maturity Date, with each such payment being equal to or greater
than (1) the Monthly Payment Amount and (2) with respect to the payment due on the Maturity
Date, the entire outstanding principal balance of this Note together with any interest
accrued as of such date and all other amounts payable pursuant to the Loan Documents;
(5) the Defeasance Collateral shall be duly endorsed by the holder thereof as directed
by Lender or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form and substance wholly
satisfactory to Lender (including, without limitation, such instruments as may be required
by the depository institution holding such securities to effectuate book-entry transfers and
pledges through the book-entry facilities of such institution) in order to create a first
priority security interest therein in favor of Lender in conformity with an applicable state
and federal laws governing granting of such security interests;
(6) Borrower shall deliver the following to Lender on or prior to the Defeasance Date:
3
A. a pledge and security agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to
Lender in its sole discretion, creating a first priority security interest in favor
of Lender in the Defeasance Deposit and the Defeasance Collateral (the

monthly Payment Date;
B. a certificate of Borrower certifying that all of the requirements set forth
in this Section 1.03(a) have been satisfied;
C. an opinion of counsel for Borrower in form and substance and delivered by

(x) that Lender has a perfected first priority security interest in the Defeasance
Deposit and the Defeasance Collateral, (y) that the Defeasance Security Agreement is
enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms and (z) that the
defeasance will not cause the Trust (as hereinafter defined) to fail to qualify as a
real estate mortgage investment conduit (a REMIC), within the meaning of
Section 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time or
any successor statute (the Code);
D. if required by the Rating Agencies, evidence in writing from each of the
Rating Agencies (as defined in the Security Instrument) to the effect that such
release will not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any rating in
effect immediately prior to the Defeasance Date for any securities issued in
connection with a Secondary Market Transaction (as defined in the Security
Instrument);
E. a certificate in form reasonably acceptable to Lender, from a firm of
independent certified public accountants acceptable to Lender, certifying
that the Defeasance Collateral is sufficient to make the payments required
by Paragraph 1.03(a)(4) above; and
F. such other certificates, opinions, documents or instruments as Lender may
reasonably require.
The Defeasance Period shall mean the period of time commencing on the date which is the
earlier to occur of (i) two (2) years after the startup day, within the meaning of Section
860G(a)(9) of Code (such day, the Startup Day), of the REMIC that holds this Note (the
Trust) and (ii) four (4) years after the date hereof, and ending on the expiration of
the Lockout Period.
All of Lenders third party out of pocket costs and expenses of satisfying the foregoing conditions
and of the transactions contemplated by this Section 1.03, including, without limitation, the
reasonable costs and expenses of Lenders counsel, shall be paid by Borrower simultaneously with
the defeasance of this Note.
(b) Upon a defeasance in accordance with Section 1.03(a), Borrower shall, at Lenders
request, assign all its obligations and rights under this Note to a special-purpose,
bankruptcy-remote entity reasonably acceptable to Lender (Successor Borrower) to be
formed by Borrower (unless Lender elects to do so), and in either event, at Borrowers sole cost
and expense. In connection therewith, the Successor Borrower shall execute an assumption agreement
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender pursuant to which Successor Borrower shall
assume Borrowers obligations under this Note and the Defeasance Security Agreement. The sole
asset of Successor Borrower shall be the Defeasance Collateral (or, if the Successor Borrower is
formed by Lender, the sole purpose of the Successor Borrower shall be to hold the Defeasance
Collateral and similar assets with respect to other loans owned by the Trust). In connection with
such assignment and assumption, Borrower and/or Successor Borrower shall deliver to Lender an
opinion of counsel in form and substance and delivered by counsel reasonably satisfactory to
Lender stating, among other things, that such assumption agreement is enforceable against Borrower
and Successor Borrower, as applicable, in accordance with its terms and that this Note, the
Defeasance Security Agreement and any other documents executed in connection with
4
such defeasance are enforceable against Borrower or Successor Borrower, as applicable, in
accordance with their respective terms. Upon an assumption of Borrowers obligations under this
Note and the Defeasance Security Agreement by Successor Borrower acceptable to Lender, Borrower
shall be relieved of its obligations under this Note and the Defeasance Security Agreement and, to
the extent such documents relate to the Property, the other Loan Documents.

released from the lien of the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, and the Defeasance
Collateral shall constitute the only collateral which shall secure this Note. Lender will, at
Borrowers expense, execute and deliver any agreements reasonably requested by Borrower to release
the lien of the Security Instrument from the Property.
(d) From time to time during the Defeasance Period, Borrower may obtain a release from the
lien of the Security Instrument of one or more Parcels (identified on Rider 1 hereto,
collectively, the Parcels), but less than all of the Property (as defined below)), in
each case together with all improvements thereon and other property appurtenant thereto which is
collateral for the loan evidenced hereby (each Parcel being released from the lien of the Security
Instrument is referred to as a Release Parcel and the Parcel(s) remaining subject to the
lien of the Security Instrument are referred to collectively as the Remaining Parcel),
upon the satisfaction of the following conditions;
(1) Borrower shall give Lender not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice,
specifying the date (the Partial Defeasance Date) on which the Partial Defeasance
Deposit (as defined below) is to be delivered, and identifying the Release Parcel being
released;
(2)
All accrued and unpaid interest and other sums due under this Note and under the
other Loan Documents up to the Partial Defeasance Date, including, without limitation, all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender or its agents in connection with such

in full on or prior to the Partial Defeasance Date;
(3) [RESERVED]
(4) Lender, at Borrowers expense, shall prepare all necessary documents to sever the
indebtedness evidenced by this Note into two substitute notes, one (the Defeased
Note) having a principal balance equal to the Adjusted Release Amount (as defined
herein) with respect to the Release Parcel, and the other (the Undefeased Note)
having a principal balance equal to the remaining principal balance outstanding on this Note
as of the Partial Defeasance Date. The Monthly Payment Amount of the Defeased Note and the
Undefeased Note shall be determined by proportionately allocating the Monthly Payment Amount
between them based on the principal amount of the Deferred Note and the Undefeased Note and
the interest rate set forth herein, as determined by Lender, such that the aggregate payment
each month under the Defeased Note and the Undefeased Note equals the Monthly Payment
Amount. The Defeased Note shall mature on the Maturity Date, and except as set forth above
shall have identical terms as this Note (except for the principal balance and the Monthly
Payment Amount thereunder), except that a Defeased Note cannot be the subject of any further
defeasance. The Undefeased Note shall have identical terms as this Note (except for the
principal balance and Monthly Payment Amount thereunder);
(5) Borrower shall deliver to Lender on or prior to the Partial Defeasance Date, the
principal amount of the Defeased Note together with an additional amount such that the

Partial Defeasance
5
Collateral) that provide for payments prior, but as close as possible, to all
successive Payment Dates occurring after the Partial Defeasance Date through and including
the Anticipated Balloon Date, with each such payment being equal to or greater than the
amount of the corresponding installment of principal and interest under the Defeased Note;
(6) The Partial Defeasance Collateral shall be duly endorsed by the holder thereof as
directed by Lender or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form and substance
wholly satisfactory to Lender (including, without limitation, such instruments as may be
required by the depository institution holding such securities to effectuate book-entry
transfers and pledges through the book-entry facilities of such institution) in order to
create a first priority security interest therein in favor of Lender in conformity with an

Defeasance Date:
A. a pledge and security agreement, in form and substance
satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion, creating a first priority
security interest in favor of Lender in the Partial Defeasance Deposit and the
Partial Defeasance Collateral (the Partial Defeasance Security Agreement),
which shall provide, among other things, that any excess received by Lender from the
Partial Defeasance Collateral over the amounts payable under the Defeased Note shall
be refunded to Borrower promptly after each monthly Payment Date;
B. a certificate of Borrower certifying that all of the requirements set forth
in this Section 1.03(d) have been satisfied;
C. an opinion of counsel for Borrower in form and substance and delivered by
counsel satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion stating, among other things,
(x) that Lender has a perfected first priority security interest in the Partial
Defeasance Deposit and the Partial Defeasance Collateral, (y) that the Partial
Defeasance Security Agreement is enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its
terms and (z) that the defeasance will not cause the Trust to fail to qualify as a
REMIC, within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code;
D. if required by the Rating Agencies, evidence in writing from each of the
Rating Agencies to the effect that such release will not result in a qualification,
downgrade or withdrawal of any rating in effect immediately prior to the Partial
Defeasance Date for any securities issued in connection with a Secondary Market
Transaction;
E. a certificate in form reasonably acceptable to Lender, from a firm of
independent certified public accountants acceptable to Lender, certifying that the
Partial Defeasance Collateral is sufficient to make the payments required by
Paragraph 1.03(d)(5) above;
F. evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender that the Undefeased Note will
continue to be secured by the Security Instrument; and
G. such other certificates, opinions, documents or instruments as Lender may
reasonably require.
If Borrower is defeasing an Undefeased Note from a prior defeasance in accordance with this Section
1.03(d), such defeasance shall be in accordance with the requirements of this Section 1.03.
6
(e) Upon a partial defeasance in accordance with Section 1.03(d), Borrower shall, at Lenders
request, assign all its obligations and rights under the Defeased Note to a special-purpose
bankruptcy-remote entity (Partial Defeasance Successor Borrower) to be formed by Borrower
(unless Lender elects to do so), and in either event, at Borrowers cost and expense. In connection
therewith, the Partial Defeasance Successor Borrower shall execute an assumption agreement in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender pursuant to which the Partial Defeasance Successor
Borrower shall assume Borrowers obligations under the Defeased Note and the Partial Defeasance
Security Agreement. The sole asset of Partial Defeasance Successor Borrower shall be the Partial
Defeasance Collateral. In connection with such assignment and assumption, Borrower and/or
Partial Defeasance Successor Borrower shall:
(1) deliver to Lender an opinion of counsel in form and substance and delivered by
counsel satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion stating, among other things, that such
assumption agreement is enforceable against Borrower and Partial Defeasance Successor
Borrower, as applicable, in accordance with its terms and that the Defeased Note and the

such defeasance are enforceable against Partial Defeasance Successor Borrower, and the
Undefeased Note remains enforceable against Borrower, each in accordance with their
respective terms, and
(2) pay all third party out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender or its
agents in connection with such assignment and assumption (including, without limitation, any
fees and disbursements of legal counsel).
Upon an assumption of Borrowers obligations under the Defeased Note and the Partial Defeasance
Security Agreement by Partial Defeasance Successor Borrower acceptable to Lender, (i) Borrower
shall be relieved of its obligations under the Defeased Note and the Partial Defeasance Security
Agreement and, to the extent such documents relate to the Release Parcel, the other Loan Documents,

owner of the Release Parcel shall be relieved of its obligations under the Undefeased Note and the
other Loan Documents for matters occurring following the partial defeasance.
(f) Upon compliance with the requirements of Section 1.03(d) and (e), the Release Parcel shall
be released from the lien of the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, and the Partial
Defeasance Collateral shall constitute collateral which shall secure the Defeased Note. Lender
will, at Borrowers expense, execute and deliver any agreements reasonably requested by Borrower to
release the lien of the Security Instrument from the Property.
(g) As used in Section 1.3(d) of this Note:
(1)
Adjusted Release Amount shall mean, with respect to the Release
Parcel, the greater of:
(a) 125% of the Allocated Loan Amount with respect to such Parcel; and

partial defeasance based upon a 30 year amortization as calculated by Lender.
(4)

(e) rents, issues, profits and revenues of all or any portion of the Property received by
Borrower or its agents or applicable to a period after the occurrence of any Event of Default or
any event which, solely with the passage of time, would constitute an
Event of Default hereunder,
which are not paid to Lender pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, to the full extent of the
rents, issues, profits and revenues not so paid;
(f) physical
waste committed on the Property by, or damage to the Property as a result of the
intentional misconduct or gross negligence of, Borrower or any Indemnitor (as defined in the
Security Instrument) or any holder of equity interests in Borrower or Indemnitor, or any person
acting on behalf of, or at the direction of, Borrower or Indemnitor, or any removal of the Property
in violation of the terms of the Loan Documents;
9
(g) failure to pay, or make deposits to the Impound Account (as defined in the Security
Instrument) on account of, any valid taxes, assessments, mechanics liens, materialmens liens or
other liens which could create liens on any portion of the Property which would be superior to the
lien or security title of the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, to the extent that
the Property generated funds sufficient to pay, or make deposits to the Impound Accounts on
account of, such items;
(h) failure by Borrower to pay, or make deposits to the Impound Account on account of, the
premiums on insurance policies required under the Loan Documents to be maintained by Borrower or
with respect to the Property, to the extent that the Property generated funds sufficient to pay,
or make deposits to the Impound Accounts on account of, such items;
(i) fraud or material misrepresentation by Borrower or any Indemnitor, or any holder of
equity interests in Borrower or Indemnitor, or any person acting on behalf of, or at the direction

(j) the filing (i) by Borrower of a voluntary bankruptcy petition, or (ii) against Borrower

constituent entity of Borrower, or (z) any indemnitor with respect to Borrowers obligations under
the Loan Documents, or by any affiliate of any person or entity described in clauses (i) and (ii).
Furthermore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, in the event that:
(A) the first Monthly Payment Amount is not paid when due; (B) Borrower fails to obtain Lenders
prior written consent to any subordinate financing or other voluntary lien encumbering the
Property, if such consent is required by the Loan Documents; or (C) Borrower fails to obtain
Lenders prior written consent to any assignment, transfer or conveyance of the Property or any
interest therein, if such consent is required by Loan Documents, then the Loan shall be fully
recourse to Borrower.
Nothing contained in this section shall (l) be deemed to be a release or impairment of the
indebtedness evidenced by this Note or the other obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents
or the lien of the Loan Documents upon the Property, or (2) preclude Lender from foreclosing the
Loan Documents in case of any Event of Default or from enforcing any of the other rights of Lender
except as stated in this section, or (3) reduce, release, relieve, waive, limit or impair in any
way whatsoever the Indemnity and Guaranty Agreement and/or the Hazardous Substances Indemnity
Agreement each of even date executed and delivered in connection with the indebtedness evidenced
by this Note or release, relieve, reduce, waive or impair in any way whatsoever, any obligation of
any party to such Indemnity and Guaranty Agreement and Hazardous Substances Indemnity Agreement or
(4) waive any right that Lender may have under Section 506 (a), 506 (b), 1111(b) or any other
provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Loan or to
require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the indebtedness owing to Lender in
accordance with the Loan Documents.
1.06 Event of Default. It is hereby expressly agreed that should any default occur in the
payment of principal or interest as stipulated above and such payment is not made within seven (7)
days of the date such payment is due (provided that no grace period is provided for the payment of
principal and interest due on the Applicable Maturity Date), or should an Event of
Default (as defined in the Security Instrument) occur, or should any other default occur under
any of the Loan Documents which is not cured within any applicable grace or cure period, then an
Event of Default shall exist hereunder, and in such event the indebtedness evidenced hereby,
including all sums advanced or accrued hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and all unpaid
interest accrued thereon, shall, at the option of Lender and without notice to Borrower, at once
become due and payable and may be collected forthwith, whether or not there has been a prior demand
for payment and regardless of the stipulated date of maturity.
1.07 Late Charges and Default Interest Rate. In the event that any payment is not received
by Lender on the date when due (subject to the applicable notice and/or grace period), then in
addition to any default interest payments due hereunder, Borrower shall also pay to Lender a late
charge in an amount
10
equal to five percent (5.0%) of the amount of such overdue payment, provided, however, that such
late charge shall not be required in connection with the balloon payment of principal due at the
Maturity Date. So Song as any Event of Default exists hereunder, regardless of whether or not
there has been an acceleration of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, and at all times after
maturity of the indebtedness evidenced hereby (whether by acceleration or otherwise), interest
shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance of this Note at a rate per annum equal to four
percent (4.0%) plus the Note Rate (as hereinafter defined), or if such increased rate of interest
may not be charged or collected under applicable law, then at the maximum rate of interest, if
any, which may be charged or collected from Borrower under applicable law (the Default
Interest Rate), and such default interest shall be immediately due and payable. Borrower
acknowledges that it would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine Lenders actual
damages resulting from any late payment or Event of Default, and such late charges and default
interest are reasonable estimates of those damages and do not constitute a penalty.
1.08 Cumulative Remedies. The remedies of Lender in this Note or in the Loan
Documents, or at law or in equity, shall be cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued singly,
successively or together in Lenders discretion. In the event this Note, or any part hereof, is
collected by or through an attorney-at-law, Borrower agrees to pay all costs of collection
including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys fees.
ARTICLE II GENERAL CONDITIONS
2.01 No Waiver: Amendment. No failure to accelerate the debt evidenced hereby by reason
of default hereunder, acceptance of a partial or past due payment, or indulgences granted from time
to time shall be construed (i) as a novation of this Note or as a reinstatement of the indebtedness
evidenced hereby or as a waiver of such right of acceleration or of the right of Lender thereafter
to insist upon strict compliance with the terms of this Note, or (ii) to prevent the exercise of
such right of acceleration or any other right granted hereunder or by any applicable laws; and
Borrower hereby expressly waives the benefit of any statute or rule of law or equity now provided,
or which may hereafter be provided, which would produce a result contrary to or in conflict with
the foregoing. No extension of the time for the payment of this Note or any installment due
hereunder, made by agreement with any person now or hereafter liable for the payment of this Note
shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability of Borrower
under this Note, either in whole or in part unless Lender agrees otherwise in writing. This Note
may not be changed orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom
enforcement of any waiver, change, modification or discharge is
sought.
2.02 Waivers. Presentment for payment, demand, protest and notice of demand, protest
and nonpayment and all other notices are hereby waived by Borrower. Borrower hereby further
waives and renounces, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all rights to the benefits of
any moratorium, reinstatement, marshalling, forbearance, valuation, stay, extension, redemption,
appraisement, exemption and homestead now or hereafter provided by the Constitution and laws of the
United States of America and of each state thereof, both as to itself and in and to all of its
property, real and personal, against the enforcement and collection of the obligations evidenced by
this Note or the other Loan Documents.
2.03
Limit of Validity. The provisions of this Note and of all agreements between
Borrower and Lender, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are
hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of demand
or acceleration of the maturity of this Note or otherwise, shall the amount paid, or agreed to be
paid (Interest), to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the money loaned
under this Note exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any
circumstance whatsoever, performance or fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any agreement
between Borrower and Lender shall, at the time performance or fulfillment of such provision shall
be due, exceed the limit for Interest prescribed by law or otherwise transcend the limit of
validity prescribed, by applicable law, then ipso facto the obligation to be
performed or fulfilled shall be reduced to such limit and if, from any circumstance whatsoever,
Lender shall ever
11
receive anything of value deemed Interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful
amount, an amount equal to any excessive Interest shall be applied to the reduction of the
principal balance owing under this Note in the inverse order of its maturity (whether or not then
due) or at the option of Lender be paid over to Borrower, and not to the payment of Interest. All
Interest (including, but not limited to, any amounts or payments deemed to be Interest) paid or
agreed to be paid to Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized,
prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal
balance of this Note so that the Interest thereof for such full period will not exceed the maximum
amount permitted by applicable law. This Section 2.03 will control all agreements between Borrower
and Lender.
2.04 Use of Funds. Borrower hereby warrants, represents and covenants that the
loan evidenced hereby is for business or commercial purposes only, and no advance of funds
evidenced hereby shall be used by Borrower for personal, family, agricultural or household
purposes. The foregoing shall not, however, prohibit Borrower from distributing surplus proceeds
(after payment from time to time of ail amounts that Borrower is required to pay pursuant to the
Loan Documents) to the owners of equity interests in Borrower.
2.05 Unconditional Payment. Borrower is and shall be obligated to pay principal,
interest and any and all other amounts which become payable hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents absolutely and unconditionally and without any abatement, postponement, diminution or
deduction and without any reduction for counterclaim or setoff. In the event that at any time any
payment received by Lender hereunder shall be deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
been a voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other
debtor relief law, then the obligation to make such payment shall survive any cancellation or
satisfaction of this Note or return thereof to Borrower and shall not be discharged or satisfied
with any prior payment thereof or cancellation of this Note, but shall remain a valid and binding
obligation enforceable in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof, and such payment shall
be immediately due and payable upon demand.
ARTICLE III MISCELLANEOUS
3.01 Miscellaneous. This Note shall be interpreted, construed and enforced according
to the laws of the State of New York. The terms and provisions hereof shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective heirs, executors, legal
representatives, successors, successors-in-title and assigns, whether by voluntary action of the
parties or by operation of law. As used herein, the terms Borrower and Lender
shall be deemed to include their respective heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors,
successors-in-title and assigns, whether by voluntary action of the parties or by operation of law.
If Borrower consists of more than one person or entity, each shall be jointly and severally
liable to perform the obligations of Borrower under this Note. All personal pronouns used herein,
whether used in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender, shall include all other genders; the
singular shall include the plural and vice versa. Titles of articles and sections are for
convenience only and in no way define, limit, amplify or describe the scope or intent of any
provisions hereof. Time is of the essence with respect to all provisions of this Note. This Note
and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreements between the parties hereto relating to
the subject matter hereof and thereof and all prior agreements relative hereto and thereto which
are not contained herein or therein are terminated.
3.02 Severance of Note. Lender shall have the unrestricted right at any time or from
time to time to sell, dispose of, transfer, pledge, participate, syndicate or
otherwise transfer the Loan, and/or securitize all or any portion of Lenders interest in the
Loan at any time, or to cause this Note and the Security Instrument to be split into two or more
notes, parts or interests, in whatever proportion Lender deems appropriate (i.e., an A/B or A/B/C
structure), which may be in the form of pari passu interests, senior and junior interests, or other
interests, and thereafter to sell, assign, participate, syndicate or securitize all or any part of
either such severed or split note and mortgage. Borrower agrees to cooperate in all reasonable
respects with Lender, at Lenders sole cost and expense, to facilitate any such action, the
transfer or disposition of the Loan, the rating of the Loan or of a securitization in which the
12
Loan is included. Borrowers cooperation obligation shall continue until the Loan has been repaid
in full, and shall include, without limitation, the following as each may be reasonably required
from time to time by Lender, Servicer, or any holder of the note evidencing Borrowers obligations
pursuant to the Loan:
(a) Consenting to non-material modifications to the Loan Documents or to
Borrowers organizational documents, which modifications shall not increase Borrowers obligations
nor diminish any of Borrowers rights or benefits in connection with the Loan; and
(b) Executing any additional documents required by Lender to effectuate such severance,
including, without limitation, a splitter and modification agreement, replacement notes,
intercreditor agreements and replacement security deeds, mortgages or deeds of trust in the
aggregate amount of the principal amount of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, which may include,
but not be limited to, revising the interest rate for each note component, reallocating the
principal balances of the severed notes and/or the components, increase or decrease the monthly
debt service payments for each component or eliminate the component structure and/or the multiple
note structure of the Loan (including the elimination of the related allocations of principal and
interest payments), provided that the outstanding principal balance of all components immediately
after the effective date of such modification equals the outstanding principal balance of this Note
immediately prior to such modification and the weighted average of the interest rates for all
components immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the interest rate of
this Note immediately prior to such modification.
