AMENDED AND RESTATED PROMISSORY NOTE

         
$ 14,380,873.20    
January 31, 2010
Chicago, Illinois

1. Agreement to Pay. FOR VALUE RECEIVED, NNN Executive Center, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“NNN Borrower”), and the parties listed on Exhibit A attached hereto (collectively, “Additional Borrowers”) (NNN Borrower and Additional Borrowers are hereinafter individually and collectively referred to as “Borrower”, as the context may require, provided, however, that the context shall always be one which affords Lender the broadest possible rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and which permits Lender, in its discretion, to enforce the obligations and liabilities hereunder against one or more of the entities comprising Borrower), hereby promise to pay to the order of BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., a national banking association, successor by merger to LaSalle Bank National Association, its successors and assigns (“Lender”), the principal sum of Fourteen Million Three Hundred Eighty Thousand Eight Hundred Seventy-Three and 20/100 Dollars ($14,380,873.20) (“Loan”), or so much as may be now or hereafter disbursed by Lender to Borrower at the place and in the manner hereinafter provided, together with interest thereon at the rate or rates described below (the “Interest Rate”), and any and all other amounts which may be due and payable hereunder from time to time. As a condition to Lender’s acceptance of this Amended and Restated Promissory Note (this “Note”), Borrower has paid to Lender an amount equal to Eight Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($800,000.00), which amount was applied to pay down the aggregate indebtedness owing under the Prior Note (as defined herein) and the Mezzanine Loan (as defined in the Second Amendment, as defined herein). Thus, as of the date of this Note after giving effect to the Initial Paydown (as defined in the Second Amendment), the principal amount of $13,580,873.20 is outstanding hereunder. Borrower agrees and acknowledges that (a) this Note is not a revolving note, and (b) except as expressly set forth in the Second Amendment with respect to the Initial Paydown, Borrower shall not have any right to any advances under this Note. Any capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Second Amendment.

2. Interest Rate.

2.1 BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate. The unpaid principal balance of this Note from day to day outstanding which is not past due, shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate of interest per annum equal to the BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate for that day plus four hundred fifty (450) basis points per annum. The “BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate” shall mean a fluctuating rate of interest per annum equal to the British Bankers Association LIBOR Rate (“BBA LIBOR”), as published by Reuters (or other commercially available source providing quotations of BBA LIBOR as selected by Lender from time to time) as determined for each Business Day at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time two (2) London Banking Days prior to the date in question, for U.S. Dollar deposits (for delivery on the first day of such interest period) with a one month term, as adjusted from time to time in Lender’s sole discretion for reserve requirements, deposit insurance assessment rates and other regulatory costs. A “London Banking Day” is a day on which banks in London are open for business and dealing in offshore dollars. Interest shall be computed for the actual number of days which have elapsed, on the basis of a 360-day year.

2.2 Alternative Rates. Lender may notify Borrower if the BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate is not available for any reason, or if Lender determines that no adequate basis exists for determining the BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate, or that the BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of funding the Loan, or that any applicable Law or regulation or compliance therewith by Lender prohibits or restricts or makes impossible the charging of interest based on the BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate. If Lender so notifies Borrower, then interest shall accrue and be payable on the unpaid principal balance of this Note at a fluctuating rate of interest equal to the Prime Rate of Lender plus four hundred fifty (450) basis points per annum, from the date of such notification by Lender until Lender notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, or until the Maturity Date of this Note (whether by acceleration, declaration, extension or otherwise), whichever is earlier to occur. The term “Prime Rate” means, on any day, the rate of interest per annum then most recently established by Lender as its “prime rate.” Any such rate is a general reference rate of interest, may not be related to any other rate, and may not be the lowest or best rate actually charged by Lender to any customer or a favored rate and may not correspond with future increases or decreases in interest rates charged by other lenders or market rates in general, and Lender may make various business or other loans at rates of interest having no relationship to such rate. Any change in the Prime Rate shall take effect at the opening of business on the day specified in the public announcement of a change in Lender’s Prime Rate. If Lender (including any subsequent holder of this Note) ceases to exist or to establish or publish a prime rate from which the Prime Rate is then determined, the applicable variable rate from which the Prime Rate is determined thereafter shall be instead the prime rate reported in The Wall Street Journal (or the average prime rate if a high and a low prime rate are therein reported), and the Prime Rate shall change without notice with each change in such prime rate as of the date such change is reported.

2.3 Past Due Rate. If any amount payable by Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), such amount shall thereafter bear interest at the Past Due Rate (as defined below) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable on demand, at a fluctuating rate per annum (the “Past Due Rate”) equal to the BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate plus seven hundred fifty (750) basis points.

3. Payment Terms.

3.1 Principal and Interest. Payments of principal and interest due under this Note, if not sooner declared to be due in accordance with the provisions hereof, shall be made as follows:

(a) Commencing on February 1, 2010, and on the first Business Day of each month thereafter through and including the month in which the Maturity Date occurs, interest accrued on the portions of this Note bearing interest at the rate set forth in Section 2 above shall be due and payable.

(b) Commencing on February 1, 2010, and on the first Business Day of each month thereafter through and including the month in which the Maturity Date occurs, principal payments of Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000.00) shall be due and payable.

(c) Not later than fifteen (15) days following the end of each calendar quarter, Borrower shall pay to Lender all quarterly Net Operating Income, as defined herein (calculated based on actual Operating Expenses with no imputed or minimum Operating Expenses included for purpose of such calculation) available after payment of amounts due and payable pursuant to the Loan Documents, and shall with each such payment deliver a statement setting forth a detailed calculation of quarterly Net Operating income certified by an officer of Borrower.

(d) The unpaid principal balance of this Note, if not sooner paid or declared to be due in accordance with the terms hereof, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any other amounts due and payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document (as hereinafter defined), shall be due and payable in the on the Maturity Date.

3.2 Application of Payments. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, all payments and prepayments on account of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall be applied as follows: (a) first, to fees, expenses, costs and other similar amounts then due and payable to Lender, including, without limitation any prepayment premium, exit fee or late charges due hereunder, (b) second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the principal balance of this Note, (c) third, to the payment of principal due in the month in which the payment or prepayment is made, (d) fourth, to any escrows, impounds or other amounts which may then be due and payable under the Loan Documents (as hereinafter defined), (e) fifth, to any other amounts then due Lender hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, and (f) last, to the unpaid principal balance of this Note in the inverse order of maturity. Any prepayment on account of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall not extend or postpone the due date or reduce the amount of any subsequent monthly payment of principal and interest due hereunder. After an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, payments may be applied by Lender to amounts owed hereunder and under the Loan Documents in such order as Lender shall determine, in its sole discretion.

3.3 Method of Payments. All payments of principal and interest hereunder shall be paid by automatic debit, wire transfer, check or in coin or currency which, at the time or times of payment, is the legal tender for public and private debts in the United States of America and shall be made at such place as Lender or the legal holder or holders of this Note may from time to time appoint in the payment invoice or otherwise in writing, and in the absence of such appointment, then at the offices of Lender at 135 South LaSalle Street, Suite 1225, Chicago, Illinois 60603, Attention: Commercial Real Estate. Payment made by check shall be deemed paid on the date Lender receives such check; provided, however, that if such check is subsequently returned to Lender unpaid due to insufficient funds or otherwise, the payment shall not be deemed to have been made and shall continue to bear interest until collected. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment due under this Note must be made by wire transfer or other final funds.

3.4 Late Charge. Other than the last payment due on the Maturity Date, if any payment of interest or principal due hereunder is not made within seven days after such payment is due in accordance with the terms hereof (other than the payment due on the Maturity Date), then, in addition to the payment of the amount so due, Borrower shall pay to Lender a “late charge” of three cents for each whole dollar so overdue to defray part of the cost of collection and handling such late payment. Borrower agrees that the damages to be sustained by the holder hereof for the detriment caused by any late payment are extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain, and that the amount of three cents for each one dollar due is a reasonable estimate of such damages, does not constitute interest, and is not a penalty.

3.5 Prepayment. Borrower may prepay the principal balance of this Note, in full at any time or in part from time to time, without fee, premium or penalty, provided that: (a) Lender shall have actually received from Borrower prior written notice of (i) Borrower’s intent to prepay, (ii) the amount of principal which will be prepaid (the “Prepaid Principal”), and (iii) the date on which the prepayment will be made; (b) each prepayment shall be in the amount of $1,000.00 or a larger integral multiple of $1,000.00 (unless the prepayment retires the outstanding balance of this Note in full); and (c) each prepayment shall be in the amount of 100% of the Prepaid Principal, plus accrued unpaid interest thereon to the date of prepayment, plus any other sums which have become due to Lender under the Loan Documents on or before the date of prepayment but have not been paid. If this Note is prepaid in full, any commitment of Lender for further advances shall automatically terminate.

4. Maturity Date. All principal, interest and other sums due under the Loan Documents shall be due and payable in full on January 15, 2011 (the “Maturity Date”). Borrower shall have no right to extend the Maturity Date.

5. Refinancing of Loan. Borrower agrees that, at such time as the Loan is refinanced, Borrower shall permit Lender to offer a proposal for such refinancing upon Lender’s then-current underwriting standards. In the event that Borrower shall solicit refinancing proposals from any other bank or credit source, Borrower shall give Lender the right to offer to Borrower a proposal on similar or more favorable terms than other competing proposals. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower acknowledges that Lender is under no obligation whatsoever to make any proposal to Borrower on any specific terms and conditions.

6. Security. This Note is secured by (i) a Deed of Trust, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing dated as of December 28, 2005 made by Borrower in favor of Lender creating a mortgage lien on certain real property (“Property”) legally described in Exhibit A attached thereto (as amended, restated, modified or supplemented, the “Deed of Trust”), (ii) an Assignment of Leases and Rents dated as of December 28, 2005 from Borrower to Lender (as amended, restated, modified or supplemented, the “Assignment”), (iii) a Guaranty (Securities Laws) dated as of December 28, 2005 from Triple Net Properties, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company, now known as Grubb & Ellis Realty Investors, LLC (“GERI”) to Lender (as amended, restated, modified, supplemented or reaffirmed, the “Securities Guaranty”), (iv) a Cash Management Agreement dated as of December 28, 2005 from Borrower to Lender (as amended, restated, modified or supplemented, the “Lockbox Agreement”), (v) an Environmental Indemnity Agreement dated as of December 28, 2005 from Borrower and GERI to Lender (as amended, restated, modified or supplemented, the “Environmental Indemnity”), (vi) a Guaranty of Payment dated as of December 28, 2005 from Anthony W.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Lender may at any time and from time to time elect by notice in writing to Borrower to reduce or limit the collection to such sums which, when added to the said first-stated interest, shall not result in any payments toward principal in accordance with the requirements of the preceding sentence.

Any liability obligation, loss, damage, penalty, cost or expense covered by this indemnity shall be paid to each Indemnified Party on demand, and failing prompt payment together with interest thereon at the Past Due Rate from the date incurred by each Indemnified Party until paid by Borrower, shall be added to the obligations of Borrower evidenced by this Note and secured by the collateral securing this Note. The provisions of this section shall survive the satisfaction and payment of this Note.

17. Debt Service Coverage Requirement. Within forty-five (45) days alter each Calculation Date Borrower shall submit to Lender a detailed calculation of the Debt Service Coverage for such calendar quarter certified as being true and correct by an officer of Borrower (a “DSC Certificate”), in a form reasonably acceptable to Lender. Lender shall have the right to adjust any calculation by Borrower of Debt Service Coverage so as to correct such calculation or render such calculation in compliance with the provisions of this Section 17. An Event of Default shall occur if either (i) Borrower shall fail to deliver the DSC Certificate as required above, or (ii) if the Debt Service Coverage is less than the Minimum Debt Service Coverage for any Calculation Period (a “DSC Default”); provided that Borrower may cure a DSC Default by repaying such portion of the principal balance of the Loan as is necessary to cause the Debt Service Coverage to be not less than the Minimum Debt Service Coverage. For the purposes hereof, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

Assumed Debt Service: On a per annum basis, the product obtained by multiplying the outstanding principal balance of the Loan as of the Calculation Date by the loan constant derived by applying a thirty (30) year amortization schedule to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan using an interest rate equal to the yield per annum as of the date of such calculation of the greater of (x) eight percent (8%) per annum, or (y) the “on the run” U.S. Government T-Notes maturing approximately ten (10) years after the Calculation Date (determined in good faith by Lender), plus two and one-half percent (2.50%) per annum, or (z) the actual rate of interest payable with respect to the Loan.

Assumed TI/LC Reserve: A per annum sum equal to the product of (a) $1.00 and (b) the aggregate number of square feet comprising the Improvements (as defined in the Senior Deed of Trust) which sum is intended to serve as an annual reserve for purposes of paying tenant improvements costs and leasing commission costs in connection with the operation of the Property.

Calculation Date: The last day of each Calculation Period.

Calculation Period: Any calendar quarter commencing on or after January 1, 2010 (For example, the first Calculation Period would consist of January, February and March, 2010; the second Calculation Period would consist of April, May and June, 2010 and so on).

Debt Service Coverage: With respect to each Calculation Period, the amount calculated by dividing Net Operating Income for such period by Assumed Debt Service for such period.

Gross Revenues: For any period, all revenues of Borrower, determined in accordance with sound accounting practices related to the real estate industry (excluding any straight-line adjustments to rent and with free rent not counted as revenues), derived from leases entered approved by Lender or entered into in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents with Tenants in occupancy that (x) are not in default of their respective lease beyond all applicable notice and cure periods, (y) are not the subject of any petition under the Bankruptcy Code and (z) are paying rent under their respective leases, as all such revenues are verified in a sworn statement of Borrower delivered to Lender together with all necessary supporting documentation reasonably requested by Lender; provided, however, that in no event shall Gross Revenues include (i) any gain arising from any write-up of assets; (ii) any loan proceeds; (iii) proceeds or payments under insurance policies (except that proceeds of business interruption insurance covering the Project shall be included in Gross Revenues); (iv) gross receipts of licensees, concessionaires or similar third parties; (v) condemnation proceeds or sales proceeds in lieu of and/or under threat of condemnation; (vi) any security deposits received from tenants in the Project, unless and until the same are applied to rent or other obligations in accordance with the tenant’s lease; or (vii) any other extraordinary non-recurring items, in Lender’s reasonable discretion.

Minimum Debt Service Coverage: Shall mean 1.00.

Net Operating Income: For any period, the amount by which Gross Revenues for such period exceed the aggregate of (a) Operating Expenses for such period and (b) the Assumed TI/LC Reserve; provided, however, that such sum shall be prorated so that it is applicable to the period of time in question.

Operating Expenses: For any period, without duplication, the actual costs and expenses of owning, operating, managing, repairing and maintaining the Project during such period incurred by Borrower, including, without limitation, real estate taxes; insurance premiums and utility costs, but using the following adjustments: management fees shall be calculated at a rate equal to the greater of three percent (3%) of gross revenues or the actual management fees for such period; assumed reserves shall be included in Operating Expenses in the amount of $0.25 per square foot of net rentable space in the Project per annum for capital expenditures, leasing expenses and non-recoverable tenant improvement costs; provided, however, that Operating Expenses shall exclude (i) interest or principal due on the Loan, (ii) any fees paid to Lender in connection with the Loan, (iii) capital expenditures other than the reserve amount set forth above, or (iv) depreciation, amortization and other non-cash items. For the purpose of calculating Operating Expenses hereunder, those Operating Expenses that are paid by Borrower on an irregular basis during the calendar year, including real estate taxes and insurance, shall be annualized and deemed expended in equal monthly installments throughout the calendar year.

18. No Cash Distribution. Until such time as the Loan is repaid in full Borrower shall not make any distributions to partners, members or shareholders. The failure of Borrower to comply with the provisions of this Section 18 shall constitute an Event of Default.

19. Lockbox Arrangement. Pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement, upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event (as defined in the Lockbox Agreement), Borrower shall direct all tenants under leases of space in the Property to make all payments due to Lender directly to a post office box (the “Lockbox”) designated by, and under the exclusive control of, Lender. Pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement, Borrower shall establish the Lockbox and an account (the “Lockbox Account”) in Borrower’s name with Lender into which all payments received in the Lockbox shall be deposited, and into which Borrower will immediately deposit all payments received by Borrower in the identical form in which such payments were made, whether by cash or check. If Borrower, a subsidiary or any director, officer, employee, agent or Borrower or any subsidiary, or any other person acting for or in concert with Borrower shall receive any monies, checks, notes, drafts or other payment relating to or as proceeds of Property, Borrower and each such person shall receive all such items in trust for, and as the sole and exclusive property of, Lender and, immediately upon receipt thereof, shall remit the same (or cause the same to be remitted) in kind to the Lockbox Account. Borrower agrees that all payments made to such Lockbox and Lockbox Account or otherwise received by Lender, whether in respect of the accounts or as proceeds of other collateral or otherwise, will be applied as set forth in the Lockbox Agreement. Borrower agrees to pay all fees, costs and expenses which Lender incurs in connection with opening and maintaining the Lockbox and the Lockbox Account and depositing for collection by Lender any check or other item of payment received by Lender on account of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note. All of such fees, costs and expenses shall constitute indebtedness evidenced by this Note, shall be payable to Lender by Borrower upon demand, and, until paid, shall bear interest at the Past Due Rate. All checks, drafts, instruments and other items of payment or proceeds shall be endorsed by Borrower to Lender, and, if that endorsement of any such item shall not be made for any reason, Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized to endorse the same on Borrower’s behalf. For the purpose of this section, Borrower irrevocably hereby makes, constitutes and appoints Lender (and all persons designated by Lender for that purpose) as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney and agent-in-fact (i) to endorse Borrower’s name upon such items of payment and/or proceeds and any document, instrument, invoice or similar document or agreement relating to any account of Borrower or goods pertaining thereto; (ii) to take control in any manner of any item of payment or proceeds thereof; and (iii) to have access to any lockbox or postal box into which any of Borrower’s mail is deposited, and open and process all mail addressed to Borrower and deposited therein.

20. Replacement Note. This Note constitutes a renewal and restatement of, and replacement and substitution for, that certain Promissory Note dated as of December 28, 2005 in the maximum principal amount of Thirteen Million and No/100 Dollars ($13,000,000.00), executed by Borrower and made payable to the order of Lender (the “Original Senior Note”). The indebtedness evidenced by the Original Senior Note is continuing indebtedness evidenced hereby, and nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute a payment, settlement or novation of the Original Senior Note, or to release or otherwise adversely affect any lien, mortgage or security interest securing such indebtedness or any rights of Lender against any guarantor, surety or other party primarily or secondarily liable for such indebtedness.

21. Signatures. The Joinder attached to this Note is fully binding on each Guarantor whose signature is indicated thereon, notwithstanding the fact that the Joinder may have been signed by less than all of the guarantors under the Loan Documents, and the fact that not all of the guarantors under the Loan Documents have signed the Joinder shall not be used as a defense to enforcement of the Joinder against each Guarantor.
