(c) To the extent that Lender may have acquiesced in noncompliance with any requirements precedent to the Opening of the Loan or precedent to the subsequent disbursement of the proceeds of the Loan, such acquiescence shall not constitute a waiver by Lender, and Lender may at any time after such acquiescence require Borrowers to comply with all such requirements.
(d) Borrowers shall open one deposit account for each Project with Lender (each such account, a “Project Operating Account” and collectively, the “Project Operating Accounts”). All cash flow from each Project received by Borrowers, including, without limitation, the Lease Income, shall be deposited in the applicable Project Operating Account, but may be swept into the Corporate Operating Accounts. Unless an Event of Default shall exist, Borrowers shall have access to and may use any or all monies then held in the Project Operating Accounts and/or Corporate Operating Accounts for any lawful purpose which shall include, without limitation, payment of the operating expenses for the Projects, dividends, distributions or any other costs or expenses of Borrowers or Guarantors.

4.3 | Term of the Loan. |
Unless the Loan is otherwise earlier accelerated as permitted herein or under any other Loan Document, all principal, interest and other sums due under the Loan Documents shall be due and payable in full on the Original Maturity Date, subject to the Extension Option. The terms and provisions of this Section 4.3 (and any extension of the Original Maturity Date pursuant hereto) shall not constitute a waiver of the requirement that any modification of the Note or any of the Loan Documents shall require the express written approval of Lender, no such approval (either expressed or implied) having been given as of the date hereof (other than as expressly set forth herein). The Extension Option shall automatically expire and terminate, and shall thereafter be null and void, if Borrowers do not duly elect such Extension Option expressly in accordance therewith.

ARTICLE 5
INTEREST
5.1 | Interest Rate. |
(a) The Loan will bear interest at the Applicable Rate, unless the Default Rate is applicable. The Adjusted Base Rate shall be the “Applicable Rate”, except that the Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall be the “Applicable Rate” with respect to portions of the Loan as to which a LIBOR Rate Option is then in effect. For the initial disbursement of the Loan, Borrowers shall deliver to Lender irrevocable notice (which may be (i) verbal notice provided that Borrowers deliver to Lender facsimile confirmation within twenty four (24) hours of such verbal notice or (ii) electronic mail notice within twenty four (24) hours of such verbal notice) by (x) if such disbursement is to bear interest at the Adjusted Base Rate, not later than 11:00 a.m. Cleveland, Ohio, time on the second Business Day prior to the desired date of disbursement and (y) if such disbursement is to bear interest at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate, not later than 11:00 a.m. Cleveland, Ohio, time on the third LIBOR Business Day prior to the desired date of disbursement. Borrowers shall pay interest in arrears on the tenth (10th) day of every calendar month in the amount of all interest accrued and unpaid. All payments (whether of principal or of interest) shall be deemed credited to Borrowers’ account only if received by 12:00 noon Cleveland, Ohio, time on a Business Day; otherwise, such payment shall be deemed received on the next Business Day.
(b) Provided that no Event of Default exists, Borrowers shall have the option (the “LIBOR Rate Option”) to elect from time to time in the manner and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth an Adjusted LIBOR Rate as the Applicable Rate for all or any portion of the Loan which would otherwise bear interest at the Adjusted Base Rate, pursuant to the LIBOR Election Notice attached hereto as Exhibit F.
(c) The only manner in which Borrowers may exercise the LIBOR Rate Option is by giving Lender irrevocable notice (which may be verbal notice provided that Borrowers deliver to Lender facsimile or electronic mail confirmation within twenty-four (24) hours) of such exercise not later than 11:00 a.m. Cleveland, Ohio, time on the second LIBOR Business Day prior to the proposed commencement of the relevant LIBOR Rate Interest Period, which written notice shall specify: (i) the portion of the Loan with respect to which Borrowers are electing the LIBOR Rate Option, (ii) the LIBOR Business Day upon which the applicable LIBOR Rate Interest Period is to commence and (iii) the duration of the applicable LIBOR Rate Interest Period. The Applicable Rate for any portion of the Loan with respect to which Borrower has elected the LIBOR Rate Option shall revert to the Adjusted Base Rate as of the last day of the LIBOR Rate Interest Period applicable thereto (unless Borrowers again exercise the LIBOR Rate Option for such portion of the Loan). Lender shall be under no duty to notify Borrowers that the Applicable Rate on any portion of the Loan is about to revert from an Adjusted LIBOR Rate to the Adjusted Base Rate. At no time may there be more than one (1) LIBOR Rate Interest Period in effect with respect to the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Borrower shall elect a LIBOR Rate Option, only so much of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan as would not become due and payable during the applicable LIBOR Rate Interest Period shall accrue interest at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate and the remaining principal balance shall accrue interest at the Adjusted Base Rate.
(d) If Lender reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrowers, provided that it is reasonably determined and absent manifest error) (i) that Dollar deposits in an
SECURED LOAN AGREEMENT | Page 15 |
amount approximately equal to the portion of the Loan for which Borrowers have exercised the LIBOR Rate Option for the designated LIBOR Rate Interest Period are not generally available at such time in the London interbank market for deposits in Dollars, (ii) that the rate at which such deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of maintaining a LIBOR Rate on such portion of the Loan or of funding the same for such LIBOR Rate Interest Period due to circumstances affecting the London interbank market generally, (iii) that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining a LIBOR Rate, or (iv) that an Adjusted LIBOR Rate would be in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrowers may by law pay, then, in any such event, Lender shall so notify Borrowers and all portions of the Loan bearing interest at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate that are so affected shall, as of the date of such notification with respect to an event described in clause (ii) or (iv) above, or as of the expiration of the applicable LIBOR Rate Interest Period with respect to an event described in clause (i) or (iii) above, bear interest at the Adjusted Base Rate until such time as the situations described above are no longer in effect or can be avoided by Borrowers exercising a LIBOR Rate Option for a different LIBOR Rate Interest Period.
(e) Interest at the Applicable Rate (or Default Rate) shall be calculated for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year, including the first date of the applicable period to, but not including, the date of repayment.
(f) Borrowers shall pay all Breakage Costs incurred from time to time by Lender upon demand.
(g) If the introduction of or any change in any Law, regulation or treaty, or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof, shall make it unlawful for Lender to maintain the Applicable Rate at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate with respect to the Loan or any portion thereof, or to fund the Loan or any portion thereof in Dollars in the London interbank market, or to give effect to its obligations regarding the LIBOR Rate Option as contemplated by the Loan Documents, then (1) Lender shall notify Borrowers that Lender is no longer able to maintain the Applicable Rate at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate, (2) the LIBOR Rate Option shall immediately terminate, (3) the Applicable Rate for any portion of the Loan for which the Applicable Rate is then an Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall automatically be converted to the Adjusted Base Rate, and (4) Borrower shall pay to Lender the amount of Breakage Costs (if any) incurred in connection with such conversion. Thereafter, Borrowers shall not be entitled to exercise the LIBOR Rate Option until such time as the situation described herein is no longer in effect or can be avoided by Borrowers exercising a LIBOR Rate Option for a LIBOR Rate Interest Period.
(h) The Loan shall bear interest at the Default Rate at any time at which an Event of Default shall exist.
5.2 | Interest Rate Agreement. |
(a) Any indebtedness incurred pursuant to an Interest Rate Agreement entered into by Borrowers (or any one of them) and Lender shall constitute indebtedness evidenced by the Note and secured by the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents to the same extent and effect as if the terms and provisions of such Interest Rate Agreement were set forth herein, whether or not the aggregate of such indebtedness, together with the disbursements made by Lender of the proceeds of the Loan, shall exceed the face amount of the Note.
(b) Borrowers hereby collaterally assigns to Lender for the benefit of Lender any and all Interest Rate Protection Products purchased or to be purchased by Borrowers (or any one of them) in connection with the Loan, as additional security for the Loan, and agrees to provide Lender with any additional documentation requested by Lender in order to confirm or perfect such security interest during the term of the Loan. If any Borrower obtains an Interest Rate Protection Product from a party other than Lender, such Borrower shall deliver to Lender such third party’s consent to such collateral assignment. No Interest Rate Protection Product purchased from a third party may be secured by an interest in any Borrower or any Project.
SECURED LOAN AGREEMENT | Page 16 |
ARTICLE 6
COSTS OF MAINTAINING LOAN
6.1 | Increased Costs and Capital Adequacy. |
(a) Borrowers recognize that the cost to Lender of maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof may fluctuate and, Borrowers agree to pay Lender additional amounts to compensate Lender for any increase in its actual costs incurred in maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof outstanding or for the reduction of any amounts received or receivable from Borrowers as a result of:
(i) any change after the date hereof in any applicable Law, regulation or treaty, or in the interpretation or administration thereof, or by any domestic or foreign court, (A) changing the basis of taxation of payments under this Agreement to Lender (other than taxes imposed on all or any portion of the overall net income or receipts of Lender), or (B) imposing, modifying or applying any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds for loans by Lender (which includes the Loan or any applicable portion thereof), or (C) imposing on Lender, or the London interbank market generally, any other condition affecting the Loan, provided that the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable from Borrowers by Lender under the Loan Documents; or
(ii) the maintenance by Lender of reserves in accordance with reserve requirements promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States with respect to “Eurocurrency Liabilities” of a similar term to that of the applicable portion of the Loan (without duplication for reserves already accounted for in the calculation of a LIBOR Rate pursuant to the terms hereof).
(b) If the application of any Law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted or arising out of the July, 1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards”, or the adoption after the date hereof of any other Law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change after the date hereof in any of the foregoing, or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any domestic or foreign Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Lender, with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital to a level below that which Lender would have achieved but for such application, adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of Lender with respect to capital adequacy), then, from time to time Borrowers shall pay to Lender such additional amounts as will compensate Lender for such reduction with respect to any portion of the Loan outstanding.
(c) Any amount payable by Borrowers under subsection (a) or subsection (b) of this Section 6.1 shall be paid within five (5) days of receipt by Borrowers of a certificate signed by an authorized officer of Lender setting forth the amount due and the basis for the determination of such amount, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrowers, absent manifest error. Failure on the part of Lender to demand payment from Borrowers for any such amount attributable to any particular period shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to demand payment of such amount for any subsequent or prior period. Lender shall use reasonable efforts to deliver to Borrowers prompt notice of any event described in subsection (a) or (b) above, of the amount of the reserve and capital adequacy payments resulting therefrom and the reasons therefor and of the basis of calculation of such amount; provided, however, that any failure by Lender to so notify Borrowers shall not affect Borrowers’ obligation to pay the reserve and capital adequacy payment resulting therefrom.
6.2 | Borrower Withholding. |
If by reason of a change in any applicable Laws occurring after the date hereof, any Borrower is required by Law to make any deduction or withholding in respect of any taxes (other than taxes imposed on or measured by the net income of Lender or any franchise tax imposed on Lender), duties or other charges from any
SECURED LOAN AGREEMENT | Page 17 |
payment due under the Note, the sums due from such Borrower in respect of such payment shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, Lender receives and retains a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required to be made.
ARTICLE 7
LOAN EXPENSE AND ADVANCES

Borrowers shall pay, or cause to be paid, all real estate taxes and assessments and charges of every kind upon the Projects before the same become delinquent, provided, however, that Borrowers shall have the right to pay such tax under protest or to otherwise contest any such tax or assessment, but only if (i) such contest has the effect of preventing the collection of such taxes so contested and also of preventing the sale or forfeiture of the Project or any part thereof or any interest therein, (ii) Borrowers have notified Lender of its intent to contest such taxes, and (iii) Borrowers have deposited security in form and amount satisfactory to Lender, in its sole discretion.

All payments deposited in the escrow account, and all interest accruing thereon, are pledged as additional collateral for the Loan.

Any change from the approved mortgagee protection provisions in the standard form residency agreement, or the inclusion of any provision permitting set-off by the tenant, shall be considered a material deviation requiring the approval of Lender. If any Lease fails to meet all of the foregoing requirements, then the Lease is subject to Lender’s approval, and Lender shall respond by approving or disapproving the Lease within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the copy from Borrowers. Lender’s failure to approve or disapprove the Lease within that period shall constitute approval of the Lease. Borrowers shall pay all reasonable costs incurred by Lender in connection with Lender’s review and approval of tenant Leases, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.

(a) Take possession of the Projects and do anything which is necessary or appropriate in its sole judgment to fulfill the obligations of Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including either the right to avail itself of and procure performance of existing contracts or let any contracts with the same contractors or others. Without restricting the generality of the foregoing and for the purposes aforesaid, each Borrower hereby appoints and constitutes Lender its lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution in the Projects to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims, which may be liens or security interests, or to avoid such bills and claims becoming liens against the Projects; to execute all applications and certificates in the name of each Borrower prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Improvements or the Projects; to take action and require such performance as it deems necessary under any of the bonds to be furnished hereunder and to make settlements and compromises with the surety or sureties thereunder, and in connection therewith, to execute instruments of release and satisfaction; and to do any and every act which any Borrower might do in its own behalf; it being understood and agreed that this power of attorney shall be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked;
(b) Declare the Note to be immediately due and payable;
SECURED LOAN AGREEMENT | Page 28 |

(d) Exercise or pursue any other remedy or cause of action permitted under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, or conferred upon Lender by operation of Law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 14(d), all amounts evidenced by the Note shall automatically become due and payable, without any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind to Borrowers.
