(collectively, the "Note") and is secured, inter alia, by (i) a mortgage

and the other mortgages or deeds of trust referenced on Schedule 1-A attached

benefit of the Original Lender, each dated as of June 16, 1999 and recorded in

guarantees and other instruments being hereinafter referred to as the "Loan
Documents").
B. Pursuant to the Loan Documents, Borrower has granted Original Lender
a security interest in the following leases (collectively, the "Existing
Operating Leases") for the operation of the Properties: (i) Consolidated,
Amended and Restated Lease Agreement dated as of June 16, 1999 between EQI, as
lessor, and Crossroads Future Financing Company, L.L.C., as lessee ("Crossroads
Future Operating Lease"); (ii) Consolidated, Amended and Restated Lease
Agreement dated as of June 16, 1999 between EQI, as lessor, and

C. Original Lender has assigned, sold and transferred its interest
in the Loan and all Loan Documents to Lender. Lender is the current holder of
all or a portion of the Note and of Original Lender's interest in the Loan and
Loan Documents.
D. Borrower continues to be the owner of the Property and improvements
thereon described in and encumbered by the Mortgage and other Loan Documents.
E. In order to receive the benefit of certain changes in federal tax
law relating to "taxable REIT subsidiaries," Borrower has requested that it be
allowed (i) to terminate the Original Subject Leases and enter into two (2) new
leases (the "New Operating Leases") with ENN Leasing II, L.L.C., a Delaware
limited liability company ("New Tenant"), for the Properties covered thereby,
which Properties (the "Affected Properties") are listed on Schedule 1-B, and
which New Operating Leases shall be in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit A
and Exhibit B, (ii) to terminate certain rent and lease guarantees in favor of
Borrower from the parent companies of the lessees under the Original Subject
Leases, (iii) to terminate certain of the property management agreements for the
Affected Properties and to enter into the new property management agreements
(the "New Management Agreements") in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit C and
Exhibit D, for such Properties and (iv) to enter into certain other related
transactions as described in that lease restructuring transaction summary
("Transaction Summary") attached hereto as Schedule 2 and made a part hereof.
(These transactions and the other transactions described in the Transaction
Summary are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Lease Restructuring").
The Lease Restructuring will leave in place and will not amend or modify in any
way the Xxxxx/Prime Operating Lease, which governs the operation and management
of the properties listed in Schedule 1-C.
F. Lender is willing to consent to the Lease Restructuring, subject to
the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents, and subject to the affirmation by
Borrower of the Loan and the affirmation of the Guarantor (as hereinafter
defined) of its obligations under the Environmental Agreement and the Guaranty
(as each such term is hereinafter defined), on and subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan
Documents.
G. Borrower, Guarantor and Lender, by their respective execution
hereof, evidence their consent to the modification and affirmation of the Loan
Documents as hereinafter set forth, and Lender, by its execution hereof,
consents to the Lease Restructuring as and to the extent set forth herein.

provisions of the Existing Operating Leases, the Note, the Mortgages or the
other Loan Documents; (v) there are no defenses, set-offs or rights of defense,
set-off or counterclaim, whether legal, equitable or otherwise, to the

any way the properties listed on Schedule 1-C attached hereto or the Xxxxx/Prime

replacement lease, reasonably acceptable to Lender, with such modifications as
are necessary to render such lease valid and enforceable, which replacement

8. Additional Representations, Warranties and Covenants. As a
condition of this Agreement, Borrower, New Tenant and Guarantor, represent,
warrant and covenant to Lender as follows:
(a) Neither the entry into nor the performance of and

result in any material violation of, or a conflit with or a default under, any
judgment, decree, order, mortgage, indenture, contract, ground lease, agreement
or lease by which Borrower, New Tenant, Guarantor or any property owned by
any of them, is bound, or any statute, rule, charter document or regulation
applicable to any of them.
(b) Borrower, New Tenant and Guarantor each have full power
and authority to enter into this Agreement and all documents necessary to
accomplish the Lease Restructuring and to incur and perform the obligations
provided for herein and therein, all of which have been duly authorized by all
necessary internal approvals and resolutions of Borrower, New Tenant and
Guarantor, and no consent or approval of any third party other than those that
will have been obtained and will be in effect as of the Effective Date is
required as a condition to the Lease Restructuring or as a condition to the
validity or enforceability hereof or thereof. This Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered by Borrower, New Tenant and Guarantor and this Agreement
constitutes, and each of the documents executed in connection with the Lease
Restructuring after due execution and delivery thereof shall constitute, the
legal and valid obligation of Borrower, New Tenant and Guarantor, fully
enforceable against such parties in accordance with their respective terms,
subject to bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium and other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and the
application of general principals of equity.
(c) There is no action, proceeding or investigation pending or
threatened which questions, directly or indirectly, the validity or
enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any
action taken or to the knowledge of Borrower, New Tenant and Guarantor to be
taken pursuant hereto or thereto, or to the knowledge of Borrower, New Tenant
and Guarantor which might result in any material adverse change in the condition
(financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower, New Tenant or Guarantor.
(d) Without limiting the generality of the acknowledgment of
the existence and validity of the Loan Documents by the Borrower and Guarantor
and the affirmation of the Loan Documents by the Borrower and Guarantor,
Borrower and Guarantor hereby specifically remake and reaffirm the
representations, warranties and covenants set forth in the Loan Documents.
(e) To the best knowledge of Borrower, Guarantor and New
Tenant, after due investigation and inquiry, the Transaction Summary fairly and
completely describes all transactions contemplated to be taken in connection
therewith (other than actions or steps which individually and in the aggregate
could not adversely affect repayment of any portion of the Loan or Lender's lien
position as to any of the New Operating Leases or any of the Properties), and no
representation or warranty made in this Agreement or the documents attached
hereto or delivered in connection herewith contains any untrue statement of
material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make such
representations and warranties not misleading in light of the circumstances
under which they are made.
(f) Upon the Effective Date, the New Operating Leases shall be
the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of Borrower and New Tenant, and
shall be and remain subject to the existing first liens and security interests
of Lender pursuant to the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents on a basis that
is subordinate and inferior to such liens and security interests held by Lender.
(g) Upon the Effective Date, the New Management Agreements
shall be the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of Borrower and/or New
Tenant thereunder, and shall remain subject to the existing first liens and
security interests of Lender pursuant to the Mortgages and other Loan Documents
on a basis that is subordinate and inferior to such liens and surety interests
held by Lender, except to the extent set forth in the Manager Consent and
Subordination Agreements attached hereto.
(h) To the best knowledge of Borrower, Guarantor and New
Tenant, after due investigation and inquiry, there is no default, event of
default or event with which the giving of notice or the passage of time could
become a default or event of default under the Xxxxx/Prime Operating Leases or
under any other material agreement relating in any way to the Properties, which
in each case, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on
the repayment of the Loan or on Lender's lien and security interests in the
property described in the Mortgages.
9. Incorporation of Recitals. Each of the Recitals set forth above
in this Agreement are incorporated herein and made a part hereof.
10. Property Remains as Security for Lender. All of the real and
personal property described in the Mortgages shall remain in all respects
subject to the lien, charge or encumbrance of the Mortgages, and, except as
expressly set forth herein, nothing herein contained and nothing done pursuant
hereto shall affect or be construed to release or affect the liability of any
party or parties who may now or hereafter be liable under or on account of the
Note, the Mortgages or any of the other Loan Documents, nor shall anything
herein contained or done in pursuance hereof affect or be construed to affect
any other security for the Note, if any, held by Lender.
11. No Waiver by Lender. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed
a waiver of any of Lender's rights or remedies under the Note or any of the
other Loan Documents.
12. References. All references in any of the Loan Documents to any
of the other Loan Documents will be deemed to be references to such of the Loan
Documents as modified by this Agreement.
13. Relationship with Loan Documents. To the extent that this Agreement
is inconsistent with any of the Loan Documents, this Agreement will control and
such Loan Document will be deemed to be amended hereby. Except as amended
hereby, the Loan Document shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
14. Captions. The headings to the Sections of this Agreement have
been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall in no way modify or
restrict any provisions hereof or be used to construe any such provisions.
15. Partial Invalidity. If any provision of this Agreement is held to
be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, such
provision shall be fully severable, and this Agreement shall be construed and
enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never
comprised a part of this Agreement.
16. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
among the parties hereto and shall not be amended unless such amendment is in
writing and executed by each of the parties. The Agreement supersedes all prior
negotiations regarding the subject matter hereof.
17. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns;
provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not be
deemed to be a consent by Lender to any sale, conveyance, assignment or transfer
of the Property or any interest therein, or any sale, conveyance, assignment or
transfer of any interest in Borrower or any party holding an interest in
Borrower, except to the extent permitted under the Loan Documents.
18. Multiple Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple
counterparts, each of which will be an original, but all of which, taken
together, will constitute one and the same Agreement.
19. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
20. Effective Date. This Agreement shall be effective as of the
