Other than as stated above, Deutsche Post is generally responsible for the maintenance, repair, and<br />

renewal at its own cost within the leased premises.<br />

Ancillary Costs<br />

Each Deutsche Post lease provides that Deutsche Post will proportionately bear ancillary costs; however,<br />

property management costs cannot be charged to Deutsche Post. Ancillary costs include heating and air<br />

conditioning costs, general electricity costs, costs in connection with the operation and management of<br />

parking spaces, garages and underground parking garages, costs in connection with maintenance and<br />

cleaning of outdoor areas, costs of street and building cleaning, and all costs in connection with the<br />

observance of the duty to safeguard traffic (including snow and ice removal).<br />

If additional costs are incurred as a result of Deutsche Post’s specific requirements, these additional costs<br />

will be borne solely by Deutsche Post. To the extent possible, Deutsche Post will directly enter into<br />

agreements with the local utility suppliers for its ancillary requirements.<br />

Protection Against Competition<br />

Under the Deutsche Post leases, the Landlord has agreed that it will not, without the consent of Deutsche<br />

Post, lease space, set up automatic banking machines or provide advertisement opportunities to “material<br />

competitors” of Deutsche Post, Postbank or their affiliates. Material competitors are defined under the<br />

Deutsche Post leases as all mail delivery services, all courier, express and parcel services unless they are<br />

exclusively working locally and are not part of a supra-regional network or group, all providers of<br />

banking services and companies specifically listed in the Deutsche Post leases (as they may be updated<br />

from time to time by Deutsche Post with effect from and after such updates).<br />

Fixtures Leases<br />

The separate leasing of fixtures to a major tenant of a building is common practice in Germany. We<br />

acquired all of the fixtures located in the Initial Properties, and each of the leases of such fixtures with<br />

Deutsche Post were assigned to us. Pursuant to those fixtures leases, we lease various fixtures, such as<br />

loading bridges and freight elevators, to Deutsche Post for a similar term to that of the Deutsche Post<br />

leases for nominal rent.<br />

Certain Legal Matters Relating to Property in Germany<br />

Title to the Initial Properties is subject to customary encumbrances, such as easements, encroachments,<br />

zoning laws and restrictive covenants which are typical for commercial real estate properties of this type,<br />

size and age. The majority of the Initial Properties are subject to easements providing customary rights to<br />

utility lines, telecommunication cables, water pipes, rights-of-way and similar rights in favour of public<br />

authorities, utility companies or private parties. In some cases, there are limited personal easements in<br />

favour of the German National Railway to allow railway installations and operations. In one case an<br />

easement restricts the use of the Initial Property to a postal office.<br />

Three of the Initial Properties are subject to pre-emptive rights or rights of first refusal in the event of<br />

subsequent sales of the affected properties. One of the Initial Properties is subject to an option to purchase<br />

in favour of Deutsche Post. In addition to these encumbrances, at least 36 of the Initial Properties are<br />

located in urban refurbishment, redevelopment or reallocation areas in which the sale, leasing and<br />

encumbrance of such Initial Properties requires the approval of the competent public authority. Such<br />

approval may be necessary for the granting of the first mortgages or in connection with the assignment of<br />

the existing land charges to be provided under financing agreements. We obtained an undertaking from<br />

Sub-Fund I to obtain all required public authority approvals for the execution or renewal of certain leases<br />
