State.
4.3 Term
of the Loan.
(a) All
principal, interest and other sums due under the Loan Documents shall be due and
payable in full on the Initial Maturity Date, provided that Borrower shall have
the option to extend the Maturity Date for one (1) additional six-month period
(the “Extension
Option”), provided Borrower has satisfied the conditions set forth in
subparagraph (b) below. All references herein to the “Maturity Date” shall
mean the Initial Maturity Date, or, in the event Borrower satisfies the
conditions to the exercise of the Extension Option in accordance with this
21
Section 4.3, the
“Maturity Date”
shall mean the Extended Maturity Date. Interest only payments shall
continue to be due and payable on the first of the month according to the
Interest Rate then in effect on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan
during the extension period.
(b) Borrower
may only exercise the Extension Option upon satisfying the following
conditions:
(i) The
Project has been completed in accordance with the Approved Plans and
Specifications in all material respects, the Project is lien free (other than
liens for the benefit of Lender and Permitted Exceptions), and certificates of
occupancy shall have been issued by the appropriate Governmental Authority for
all of the Project sufficient, among other things, to allow operation of the
Hotel and Venue, leasing and occupancy of the Commercial Space, the conveyance
and occupancy of the Residential Units, and the use and occupancy of the Parking
Garage and all Parking Spaces, and to allow satisfaction of item (vii) below
(any certificate of occupancy for the Commercial Space may be conditioned upon

(ii) The Hotel

accepted and confirmed the completion of the Hotel in accordance with the Hotel
Documents;
(iii) Borrower
shall have delivered to Lender written notice of such election no earlier than
seventy-five (75) days and no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Initial
Maturity Date;
(iv) Borrower
shall pay, together with its written notice of such election, an extension fee
(the “Extension
Fee”) equal to 0.5% of Lender’s Remaining Exposure at the time the
Extension Option is requested;
(v) If there
is a Mezzanine Loan, the Mezzanine Lender extends the maturity date of the
Mezzanine Loan to a date no earlier than the Extended Maturity
Date;
(vi) The Loan
has not matured and no Event of Default or material Default has occurred and is
continuing under the Loan Documents;
(vii) Following
the full funding of the Reinvested Proceeds pursuant to Section 14.10(b)
hereof, Borrower has closed and conveyed, pursuant to Qualifying Sales
Agreements and each at no less than 90% of the applicable List Price,
Residential Units in an amount sufficient to generate aggregate gross sales
proceeds of at least $55,000,000 (apart from and in addition to the gross sales
proceeds which generated the Reinvested Proceeds), and Borrower shall have paid
to Lender the Release Prices for each such Residential Unit sold;
and
(viii) Borrower
has funded the Additional Equity Investment, as and to the extent required
hereunder.
(c) Notwithstanding
the above provisions of this Section 4.3, in the
event that (x) Borrower does not repay the Loan in full on or before the Initial
Maturity Date and (y) the Maturity Date is not extended pursuant to the
provisions of Section
4.3(b) (whether because
22
Borrower
did not request the extension or Borrower requested the extension but did not
qualify for such extension) then the Maturity Date shall nevertheless be
extended from the Initial Maturity Date to a date that is thirty (30) days after
the Initial Maturity Date and the Extension Fee shall be due and payable from
Borrower to Lender on the Initial Maturity Date. The Deed of Trust
will not be released until the Extension Fee and all other amounts due under the
Loan have been paid in full. In such event, Borrower shall not be
entitled to any further extensions of the Maturity Date. No such
extension shall occur if the Loan has been accelerated prior to the Initial
Maturity Date.
(d) If
Borrower timely sends written notice of Borrower’s election to exercise the
Extension Option in accordance with Section 4.3(b),
Lender, no later than twenty (20) days prior to the Initial Maturity Date, shall
notify Borrower (“Lender’s Response
Notice”) whether, with respect to the Extension Option, the conditions
set forth in Section
4.3(b) have been satisfied and accordingly the Maturity Date has been
extended to the Extended Maturity Date.
(e) If Lender
fails to timely send Lender’s Response Notice, but Borrower has not qualified
for such Extension Option, then Lender shall not thereby be deemed to have
waived the Extension Fee payable under subparagraph 4.3(c); provided,
however, that in such circumstance, if (x) Borrower repays the Loan in full
prior to its receipt of Lender’s Response Notice or (y) Borrower repays the Loan
in full no later than the date twenty (20) days after its receipt of Lender’s
Response Notice, then no Extension Fee shall be owed under subparagraph 4.3(c).
4.4 Prepayments.
Borrower
shall have the right to make prepayments of the Loan in accordance with and
subject to the terms of the Note.
4.5 Required
Principal Payments.
All
principal shall be paid on or before the Maturity Date.
4.6 Receipt
of Payments.
All
payments received by Lender prior to or at 3:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on a
Business Day shall be credited to Borrower on the day of receipt; all payments
received after 3:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on a Business Day shall be deemed
received on the next succeeding Business Day.
4.7 Termination
of Lender’s Unfunded Commitment.
Upon the
repayment in full of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender’s
obligation to fund the Unfunded Commitment shall thereupon terminate and Lender
shall have no further obligation to fund Loan proceeds hereunder. If,
in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender agrees (in writing) that the Commitment
shall not so terminate, all Release Prices for the sale of Residential Units or
any other part of the Project shall be escrowed with Lender until such time as
Lender’s obligation to fund the Commitment expires or is terminated and the Loan
has been repaid.
23
4.8 Lender
Default.
If Lender
is prevented from funding the Unfunded Commitment by reason of bankruptcy or
insolvency proceedings or an order from regulatory authorities in connection
with Lender’s insolvency or failure to meet regulatory requirements, then Lender
shall notify Borrower and, so long as no Event of Default exists, Borrower shall
have the right to do either of the following no later than ninety (90) days
after receipt of such notice:
(a) Borrower
may prepay the Loan in full without the payment of any Prepayment Charge (as
such term is defined in the Note) or the remaining Exit Fee; or
(b) Borrower
may cause another financial institution experienced at making similar
construction loans and reasonably acceptable to Lender (the “Replacement Lender”)
to agree to fund the Unfunded Commitment. Pursuant to a standard
Assignment and Assumption Agreement, Lender shall assign to Replacement Lender,
without recourse, and Replacement Lender shall assume, Lender’s rights and
obligations with respect to the Unfunded Commitment and whereupon Lender shall
be released therefrom. Lender and Replacement Lender shall execute a
co-lender agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender and
Replacement Lender, providing, among other things, for the priority of the
Unfunded Commitment to the previously advanced Loan proceeds.

The Loan
shall bear interest as set forth in the Note. Interest shall be paid
on the Loan when and as set forth in the Note.

COSTS
OF MAINTAINING LOAN
6.1 Increased
Costs and Capital Adequacy.
(a) Borrower
recognizes that the cost to Lender of maintaining the Loan or any portion
thereof may fluctuate, and Borrower agrees 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 Borrower as a result of 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, (i) changing
the basis of taxation of payments under this Agreement and/or the Note to Lender
(other than taxes imposed on all or any portion of the overall net income or
receipts of Lender), or (ii) imposing, modifying or applying any reserve (other
than a loan loss 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 (iii) imposing on Lender any other condition
affecting the Loan, provided that the result of the foregoing is to increase the
cost to Lender of maintaining the
24
Loan or
any portion thereof or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable
from Borrower by Lender under the Loan Documents.
(b) If the
adoption after the date hereof of any 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, then, from time to time Borrower 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 Borrower under subsection (a) or subsection (b) of this Section 6.1 shall be
paid within ten (10) Business Days of receipt by Borrower 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 Borrower absent manifest error. Lender shall also
provide to Borrower copies of any applicable invoices, bills, demands or
statements of account. Failure on the part of Lender to demand
payment from Borrower 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.
6.2 Borrower
Withholding.
If by
reason of a change in any applicable Laws occurring after the date hereof,
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
payment due under the Note to the maximum extent permitted by law, the sum due
from 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 that it would have
received had no such deduction or withholding been required to be
made.
Article

alleging to have dealt with Borrower in connection with this
transaction.

Thousand Dollars ($1,150,000). Such fees are fully earned and
non-refundable. Lender may deduct the closing fee and any costs from
the Closing Funding.
7.3 Draw
Fees.
The first
disbursement of funds for Hard Costs associated with construction and each such
disbursement thereafter shall be referred to as a “Construction
Disbursement.” Borrower shall pay to Lender at the time of
each Construction Disbursement a draw fee in the amount of Five Thousand Dollars
($5,000) per disbursement as compensation to Lender for its costs
in reviewing and processing each Construction
Disbursement. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to retain such fee
from each such disbursement without further direction from
Borrower.
7.4 Exit
Fee.
Borrower
shall pay to Lender a fee equal to the amount of $1,650,000 (the “Exit Fee”), which
Exit Fee shall be due and payable to Lender upon the earlier of (i) payment in

otherwise. Prior to payment in full or maturity of the Loan, the Exit
Fee shall be payable at the rate of the full Exit Fee for the release of the

any reason if prior to the Maturity Date.
26

Borrower
agrees to pay Lender’s reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements incurred in

not the Loan closes), including (i) the preparation of this Agreement, any
intercreditor agreements and the other Loan Documents and the preparation of the
closing binders, (ii) the disbursement and administration of the Loan and (iii)
the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. The reasonable legal fees and disbursements to be paid by
Borrower under this Section 7.5 and the
reasonable legal fees and disbursements to be paid by Borrower under all other
applicable provisions of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall
include the reasonable fees and expenses of Lender’s inside counsel charged at a
rate not higher than the rate charged by Lender’s outside counsel for an
attorney with equivalent experience. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that Lender will incur
additional expenses, including attorneys fees and disbursements, in connection
with any Mezzanine Loan that Borrower proposes to obtain in accordance with this
Agreement, and Borrower hereby covenants to pay, at such time and in such manner
requested by Lender, all such reasonable expenses of Lender incurred for its
review of the proposed and final Mezzanine Loan Documents, drafting and
negotiating an intercreditor agreement, and all other reasonable expenses of
Lender in connection with such Mezzanine Loan, regardless of whether such
Mezzanine Loan closes during the term of the Loan.
7.6 Time
of Payment of Fees and Expenses.
Borrower
shall pay all expenses and fees incurred by Lender in connection with the Loan
as of the date of this Agreement at Closing. At Closing, Lender may
pay from the Closing Funding all reasonable Loan expenses and all fees payable
to Lender and not previously paid. Lender may require the payment of
outstanding fees and expenses as a condition to any disbursement of the
Loan. Lender is hereby authorized, without any specific request or
direction by Borrower, to make disbursements from time to time in payment of or
to reimburse Lender for all reasonable Loan expenses and fees (whether or not,
at such time, there may be any undisbursed amounts of the Loan allocated in the
Budget for the same). Lender shall provide to Borrower copies of all
applicable invoices relating to such expenses and fees. Lender may
charge any such disbursement to any applicable Budget Line Item or, if in
Lender’s judgment there is no available source of funds in the Budget, may
require Borrower to pay excess expenses from Borrower’s own funds. If
the actual amount of charges are not ascertainable at Closing, then Lender may
charge the same, at its option, at Full Loan Opening or to the Soft Cost
Contingency or other applicable Budget Line Item, and Borrower shall pay upon
demand any excess monies due.
7.7 Expenses
and Advances Secured by Loan Documents.
Any and
all advances or payments made by Lender under this Article 7 from
time to time, and any amounts expended by Lender pursuant to Section 20.1(a),
shall, as and when advanced or incurred, constitute additional indebtedness
evidenced by the Note and secured by the Deed of Trust and the other Loan
Documents and shall bear interest at the rate then applicable under the Note
(including the Default Rate, when applicable).
27
7.8 Right
of Lender to Make Advances to Cure Borrower’s Defaults.
In the
event that Borrower fails to perform any of Borrower’s covenants, agreements or
obligations contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (and
applicable grace or cure periods have expired, unless in Lender’s judgment an
emergency or other exigent circumstance exists, in which case Lender need not
wait for such period to expire), Lender may (but shall not be required to)
perform any of such covenants, agreements and obligations, and any reasonable
amounts expended by Lender in so doing and shall constitute additional
indebtedness evidenced by the Note and secured by the Deed of Trust and the
other Loan Documents and shall bear interest at the Default
Rate. Lender may expend any such amounts even if such advance would
result in the balance owing to Lender exceeding the stated amount of the
Note.
Article

NON-CONSTRUCTION
REQUIREMENTS PRECEDENT
8.1 Non-Construction
Conditions Precedent.
Borrower
agrees that Lender’s obligation to make the Loan is conditioned upon Borrower’s
delivery, performance and satisfaction of the following conditions precedent in
form and substance satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion (except
as otherwise expressly set forth herein) prior to (or at the time of) Closing,
with the exception of the conditions listed in Section 8.1(a), Section 8.1(u), Section 8.1(w), Section 8.1(y)(b) and
Section 8.1(z)(ii) and
(iii) hereunder that must be satisfied at such other time as is set forth
therein:
(a) Equity: Borrower
shall have provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender prior to Full
Loan Opening (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall exclude the Closing
Funding) that Borrower’s equity invested in the Project for costs in the Budget
is not less than $124,412,805.92 in cash (the “Initial Equity
Investment”), of which, Guarantor or its Affiliates shall contribute at
least $49,165,122.37, and CJUF shall contribute the balance; provided, however,
that Lender shall permit $1,500,000 (which amount shall be credited pro rata to
the respective contributions of Guarantor and CJUF) of the Initial Equity
Investment to be deferred until on or after the repayment in full of the Loan,
provided that the Developer Fee Budget Line Item is paid only in strict
accordance with Section 12.7
hereof. Such Initial Equity Investment must be used to pay Project
costs contained in the Budget and approved by Lender, with evidence of payment
of the Initial Equity Investment to be delivered to Lender prior to Full Loan
Opening. In all events, any equity contribution shall be subordinate
to the rights of Lender and general unsecured creditors of
Borrower. Borrower may not be indebted to any Person for any equity
contribution. Borrower shall provide Lender with documentation
identifying all equity investors and supporting the actual Land cost and
predevelopment expenses (which actual cost and expenses shall be credited
against the Initial Equity Investment, provided same appear in the Project
Budget and such expenditures are validated by Lender in its reasonable
discretion), such documentation to be in form and substance acceptable to
Lender, in its sole discretion.
Borrower’s
Initial Equity Investment was increased by $1,505,000 (the “Equity Increase”) to
a total of $124,412,805.92 so as to permit the creation of the “Sales
Commissions Paid During Construction” Budget Line Item in the amount of
$1,505,000. ($460,179 of
this Budget Line
28
Item has
already been funded and the remainder is to be funded at a rate of approximately
$35,000 per month as an advance against brokerage commissions for Unit sales.)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, so long as no Event
of Default exists, at the time of Unit closings up to fifty percent
(50%) of the brokerage commissions payable upon each such closing may be used to
return to Borrower the Equity Increase. The foregoing shall not reduce any
Release Price payable to Lender.
If
Borrower obtains a Mezzanine Loan with the consent of Lender and otherwise in
accordance Section
15.1(u) hereof, the Initial Equity Investment may be reduced by the
Qualifying Portion of such Mezzanine Loan; provided, however, that such
reduction in the Initial Equity Investment shall only be applicable to such
portion of the Initial Equity Investment that has not been contributed at the
time of the closing of the Mezzanine Loan, such that no part of the Initial
Equity Investment may be recouped by Borrower or other contributor, and Borrower
hereby acknowledges and agrees that, as a result, less than all of the reduction
in the Initial Equity Investment may be realized. The “Qualifying Portion”
of the Mezzanine Loan shall mean the portion available for borrowing to pay
costs in the Budget attached as Exhibit G hereto
(e.g.,
the Qualifying Portion shall not include items such as interest and/or fees and
expenses payable with respect to the Mezzanine Loan). The Qualifying
Portion must be fully funded prior to Full Loan Opening.
Borrower’s
Equity Investment requirement shall be increased as a result of any changes to
the Budget and as necessary to maintain the Loan In Balance as described in
Section 11.1. Lender
shall not be required to disburse any proceeds to reimburse Borrower for its
Equity Investment unless Lender has determined that Borrower has invested
amounts in excess of its required Equity Investment. In the event
that Borrower, or such other Person on behalf of Borrower, invests such funds
that render the total actual equity investment to be in excess of the required
Equity Investment (excluding the Additional Equity Investment or any equity
deposited as a result of the Loan being not In Balance), the Commitment shall be
permanently reduced by such excess investment, unless Borrower delivers to
Lender a written request for a refund of such excess within thirty (30) days of
such excess investment, but in no event shall such a request be required sooner
than thirty (30) days after the date hereof.
(b) Fees and
Expenses: Borrower shall have paid all of Lender’s fees and
expenses as required by Article 7 or
elsewhere in this Agreement, to the extent due and payable.
(c) Title and Other
Documents: Borrower shall have furnished to Lender a
Commitment for the Title Policy with the premiums for such Title Policy paid in
full, and a pro forma Title Policy, with coverage effective as of Closing,
together with legible copies of all title exception documents cited in the
Commitment for the Title Policy and all other legal documents affecting the
Project or the use thereof. Borrower shall provide to Lender the
final original Title Policy within fifteen (15) days following
Closing. The pro forma Title Policy and the Title Policy shall be
subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. Any exception for the
rights of Residential Unit Purchasers shall only be permissible if the Title
Insurer insures such rights are subordinate to the Deed of Trust.
(d) Survey: Borrower
shall have furnished to Lender an ALTA/ACSM “Class A” Land Title Survey of
the Project prepared by a licensed surveyor satisfactory to
Lender. Said
29
survey
shall be dated no earlier than ninety (90) days prior to the date hereof, shall
be made (and certified to have been made) as set forth in Exhibit D
attached hereto and made a part hereof. Such survey shall be
sufficient to permit issuance of the Title Policy in the form required by this
Agreement. Such survey shall include the legal description of the
Land.
(e) Insurance
Policies: Borrower shall have furnished to Lender, prior to
the date hereof, certificates evidencing that insurance coverages are in effect
with respect to the Project and Borrower, in accordance with the Insurance
Requirements attached hereto as Exhibit E and
incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth herein (or such other
insurance coverages reasonably acceptable to Lender), for which the premiums
have been prepaid, and with endorsements satisfactory to Lender. On
or before the date that is thirty (30) days after the date hereof, Borrower
shall provide a copy of the insurance policy with respect to the Project and
Borrower in accordance with Exhibit E (the “Insurance
Policy”).
(f) No
Litigation: Borrower shall have furnished evidence that no
litigation or proceedings shall be pending or threatened that is reasonably
likely to cause a Material Adverse Change with respect to Borrower, Guarantor or
the Project, other than litigation that is disclosed in writing to Lender prior
to the Loan closing and is acceptable to Lender, in its sole

BUDGET,
CONTINGENCY FUND AND CHANGE ORDERS
10.1 Budget.
Disbursement
of the Loan shall be governed by the Budget for the Project, in form and
substance acceptable to Lender in Lender’s reasonable
discretion. Borrower shall only be entitled to disbursements that are
in accordance with the Budget. The Budget shall specify the amount of
cash equity invested in the Project, and all costs and expenses of every kind
and nature whatsoever to be incurred by Borrower in connection with the
Project. Costs associated with Residential Unit sales (including but
not limited to broker’s commissions, closing and escrow costs) may be paid from
proceeds resulting from any Residential Unit closing to the extent the gross
sales price paid by any Residential Unit Purchaser for its respective
Residential Unit exceeds the applicable Release Price; otherwise, such closing
costs shall be paid in cash by Borrower. The Budget shall include, in
addition to the Budget Line Items described in Section 10.2 below,
the Contingency Fund described in Section 10.3 below
and amounts satisfactory to Lender for Hard Costs, Soft Costs and other reserves
reasonably acceptable to Lender. The construction trade line items
contained in the General Contract (or in the schedule of values) shall each be
deemed a Budget Line Item for purposes of this Agreement. The Budget
is attached hereto as Exhibit G and
made a part hereof. Except as set forth in this Agreement, all
changes to the Budget shall in all respects be subject to the prior written
approval of Lender, which approval shall be granted or withheld in Lender’s
reasonable discretion. Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of any
anticipated changes in the line items of the Budget that, if approved, would
result in a net increase in the total amount of the Budget and Borrower shall
not enter into any agreement that would increase the total amount of the costs
in the Budget without Lender’s prior written consent. In the event
the total Project costs are less than the final Budget, Borrower shall have no
right to borrow the balance of the Loan not needed for Project
costs.
37
10.2 Budget
Line Items.
(a) The
Budget shall include as line items (“Budget Line Items”),
to the extent determined to be applicable by Lender in its reasonable
discretion, the cost of all labor, materials, equipment, fixtures and
furnishings needed for the completion of the Construction, and all other costs,
fees and expenses relating in any way whatsoever to the Construction of the
Improvements, marketing and sales costs, commissions, operating deficits, real
estate taxes, and all other sums due in connection with Construction and
operation of the Project, the Loan, and this Agreement. Each line
item in the trade breakdown of the General Contract shall be considered a
separate Budget Line Item for all purposes of this Agreement whether or not
separately shown as Budget Line Items on the Budget attached
hereto. Borrower agrees that all Loan proceeds disbursed by Lender
shall be used only for the Budget Line Items for which such proceeds were
disbursed, except as reallocated in accordance with this Agreement or otherwise
permitted by Lender in its reasonable discretion. The Budget shall
not contain any line items payable to Borrower, Guarantor or any Affiliate of
either Borrower or Guarantor and Borrower and Guarantor shall not pay or cause
to be paid any Loan proceeds to any Affiliate of either, except for the
Permitted Affiliate Expenses. The Budget shall include as Budget Line
Items, outside of Owner’s Hard Cost Contingency and the Soft Cost Contingency,
(i) all fees and sums payable to Hotel Operator or its Affiliates pursuant to
the Hotel Documents, including without limitation, (A) the marketing assistance
fee of $1,250 per Residential Unit payable in twenty-four (24) equal monthly
installments commencing upon the effective date of the Condominium Marketing
License Agreement, (B) pre-opening services budget of $2,536,085, (C)
pre-opening information technology budget of $1,261,604 (which shall be included
within the TV Lease and Technology Line Item), (D) pre-opening inventories
budget of $3,276,000, (E) FF&E of $15,000 per Hotel key, (F) technical
services fees of $513,000, consisting of $1,250 per Hotel key, plus $1,000 per
Residential Unit, and (G) reimbursable expenses under the Technical Services
Agreement up to $5,000 per Hotel key and initial working capital budget of $1500
per Hotel key, but excluding the Condominium Licensing Fee of 4.5% of gross
sales revenue per Residential Unit, which shall be payable to Hotel Operator
from sales proceeds, as opposed to the Budget, and (ii) all costs contemplated
by the Waste Management Plan.
(b) Borrower
shall have the right to reallocate cost savings effected by a final Change Order
or other appropriate final documentation to other Budget Line Items subject to
(x) Lender’s prior written consent, in its reasonable discretion, and (y) the
limits contained in this Section 10.2 and
Section 10.3 of
this Agreement. No
reallocations shall be permitted to or from the Interest Reserve Budget Line
Item, Developer Fee Budget Line Item or for any amounts payable to Borrower,
Guarantor or any Affiliates of Borrower or Guarantor. If there is a
savings in Hard Costs upon completion of the construction work contemplated by
the General Contract, as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion,
savings may be reallocated to Owner’s Hard Cost Contingency (except to the
extent a portion of such savings are paid to the General Contractor pursuant to
the terms of the General Contract). Notwithstanding the foregoing in
the immediately preceding sentence and subject to Lender’s reasonable approval,
Borrower may reallocate any final savings in Hard Costs, which accrue prior to
completion of the Project, to the Owner’s Hard Cost Contingency for use by
Borrower for other Hard Costs. If the total and final expenditures
for any Soft Cost Budget Line Item are less than the amount provided for in the
Budget, then the savings may be reallocated to the Soft Cost
Contingency. In the event that the final costs of the
Project
38
are less
than the total amount of sources of funds in the Budget (including the Loan),
the amount of the cost savings shall not be available for borrowing (e.g., as a
return of equity).
(c) Except as
reallocated in accordance with this Agreement or otherwise permitted by Lender
in its reasonable discretion, Lender shall not be obligated to disburse any
amount for any category of costs set forth as a Budget Line Item that is greater
than the amount set forth for such category in the applicable Budget Line
Item. Borrower shall pay as they become due all amounts set forth in
the Budget with respect to costs to be paid for by Borrower.
10.3 Contingency
Fund.
The
Budget shall contain Budget Line Items available to Borrower for (i) payment of
Hard Costs, separate and apart from the General Contract (the “Owner’s Hard Cost
Contingency”) and (ii) for payment of Soft Costs (the “Soft Cost
Contingency;” together, the Owner’s Hard Cost Contingency and the Soft
Cost Contingency constitute the “Contingency
Fund”). At Closing, the funds in the (i) Owner’s Hard Cost
Contingency Budget Line Item must be in an amount equal to $8,000,000, and at no
time shall the Owner’s Hard Cost Contingency be reduced below $8,000,000 to pay
for an increase in the initial contractual amount of such General Contract, and
(b) the Soft Cost Contingency Budget Line Item must be in an amount equal to
$750,000. At Full Loan Opening, the remaining unallocated Owner’s
Hard Cost Contingency must equal at least 4% of the unpaid cost of all
construction hard cost Budget Line Items.
Lender
shall not be obligated to disburse or reallocate all or any part of the
Contingency Fund, except as set forth herein. The Owner’s Hard Cost
Contingency may be used by Borrower to pay the cost of Change Orders (which have
been approved by Lender or as to which Lender’s approval is not required under
Section 10.5) or
reallocated to other Hard Costs (in accordance with this Agreement) on a pro rata basis over the
course of Construction, according to the percentage of construction trade items
(which shall equal the amount of the General Contract Price less general
conditions, the General Contractor’s fee and any Contractor’s Contingency)
expended by Borrower and completed to such date. Funds from the Soft
Cost Contingency may be reallocated to pay other Soft Costs, excluding the
Developer Fee Budget Line Item (and any other amounts payable to Borrower,
Guarantor, or any of their Affiliates) and the Interest Reserve Budget Line Item
(i) without Lender’s approval on a pro rata basis such that the cumulative
percentage of such reallocated funds is equal to or less than the percentage of
completion of the Project, and (ii) otherwise subject to Lender’s prior written
approval, in its reasonable discretion.
The
Budget Line Item for amounts payable to the General Contractor under the General
Contract may also include a contingency amount that is available to the General
Contractor (the “Contractor’s
Contingency”). This is in addition to the Contingency Fund,
which is intended to afford protection to Lender, and any Contractor’s
Contingency may not be counted towards the amounts required to be contained in
the Contingency Fund by the preceding paragraphs of this Section 10.3. The
Contractor’s Contingency shall be used in accordance with the terms of the
General Contract.
39
10.4 Optional
Method for Payment of Interest.
For
Borrower’s benefit, the Budget includes a Budget Line Item for interest on the
Loan (the “Interest
Reserve Budget Line Item”). (Neither the Interest Reserve Budget Line
Item nor any other part of the Loan shall be available to pay interest on any
Mezzanine Loan.) Borrower hereby authorizes Lender from time to time,
for the mutual convenience of Lender and Borrower, to disburse Loan proceeds to
pay all the then accrued interest on the Note when due, regardless of whether
Borrower shall have specifically requested a disbursement of such
amount. Any such disbursement, if made, shall be added to the
outstanding principal balance of the Note and shall, when disbursed, bear
interest pursuant to the Note. Borrower may borrow the Interest
Reserve Budget Line Item to pay interest on the Loan upon qualifying for such
disbursement by satisfying the applicable requirements of Section 4.1(c)
hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, or the provisions of Article 11
below, once the Interest Reserve Budget Line Item has been expended, Borrower
shall pay interest from its own funds. In the event the Project,
during any month during the term of the Loan, achieves a positive Net Operating
Income, such Net Operating Income shall be applied to the payment of interest
before the funds in the Interest Reserve Budget Line Item are used to pay such
interest. If the Net Operating Income exceeds the monthly interest
then due, the excess shall continue to be held in the operating account for the
Project established pursuant to Section 15.1(ii), and
such excess shall be applied to pay the interest accrued on the Loan for the
following month.
10.5 Change
Orders.
Borrower
agrees that no changes will be made in the Approved Plans and Specifications (or
in such Plans and Specifications as have been approved by Lender from time to
time) without the prior written approval of Lender in Lender’s reasonable
discretion, and Borrower must notify Lender in writing of any such change at
least seven (7) days prior to date such change order will be implemented,
provided, however, that Borrower may make changes to the Approved Plans and
Specifications without Lender’s approval if (a) Borrower notifies Lender in
writing of such change in no event later than the next construction draw
following Borrower’s agreement to the changes; (b) Borrower obtains the approval
of all parties whose approval is legally required, including any affected
Residential Unit Purchaser, sureties, and any Governmental Authority to the
extent approval from such parties is required; (c) the structural integrity of
the Improvements is not impaired; (d) no change in architectural appearance is
effected; (e) the performance of the mechanical, electrical, and life safety
systems of the Improvements is not affected; (f) the change does not result in a
use of a particular component that is not of similar quality or functional
equivalency as the original components of the Project and as a result of such
change there would be no diminution in value or impairment of the marketability
of the Project as described in the Approved Plans and Specifications; (g) the
cost of, or reduction in cost, resulting from any such change does not exceed
$200,000; and (h) the Loan will remain In Balance (after giving effect to
any reallocation of the Contingency Fund or other Budget Line Items that
Borrower has qualified for pursuant to this Article 10). Changes
in the scope of construction work or to any construction related contract must
be documented with a Change Order on the AIA Form G 701 or equivalent
form. Borrower shall not agree to or implement any Change Order
without the prior written consent of Hotel Operator (or its Affiliate) where
such approval is required under any of the Hotel Documents.

Article 11
SUFFICIENCY
OF LOAN
11.1 Loan
In Balance.
(a) The Loan
is required to be In Balance at all times. The Loan shall be “In Balance” only when
both (i) the Available Sources of Funds equal or exceed Lender’s Estimate of
Remaining Costs and (ii) each Budget Line Item is sufficient to pay the costs
such Budget Line Item was established to pay for (including, with respect to the
Interest Reserve Budget Line Item interest in the Loan through the Maturity
Date), all as determined by Lender from time to time in its reasonable
discretion in accordance with the provisions of this Article
11. The determination by Lender at any time that the Loan is
In Balance shall not preclude Lender from determining at a later time that the
Loan is not In Balance. Lender shall not be obligated to make any
disbursements unless the Loan is In Balance.
(b) Borrower
agrees that if Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that the Loan is
not In Balance, regardless of how such condition may have been caused, Borrower
shall within ten (10) days after written request by Lender (and in any event
prior to any further disbursement of the Loan) deposit the deficiency with
Lender (“Deficiency
Deposit”). The Deficiency Deposit shall be first exhausted for costs of
the Project before any further disbursements of the Loan shall be made.
Disbursement of a Deficiency Deposit shall be subject to the same conditions
precedent and the same requirements as apply to a disbursement of the Loan
pursuant to this Agreement. Any Deficiency Deposit deposited with
Lender shall be added to and made a part of the Equity Investment of Borrower in
the Project, and no interest shall be paid to Borrower with respect to any such
amounts. Borrower pledges to Lender any Deficiency Deposit (and
Borrower’s rights in any such account and interest earned thereon) as security
for the Loan.
(c) (i) The
“Available Sources of
Funds” shall mean the Unfunded Commitment, adjusted as provided below,
plus any remaining unexpended Deficiency Deposit, less the remaining balance of
the Contingency Fund. Prior to Full Loan Opening, the unfunded
Initial Equity Investment shall be an Available Source of
Funds. Borrower may seek to increase the Available Sources of Funds
(or the amount of any Budget Line Item) by requesting that Lender reallocate
cost savings in another Budget Line Item or a portion of the Contingency Fund to
pay for cost increases in Budget Line Items, and Lender shall grant or deny such
request in accordance with the provisions of Sections 10.2(b) or
10.3. Lender
may, so long as it is entitled to do so under Sections 10.2(b)
or 10.3, deny a
request for reallocation of cost savings or a portion of the Contingency Fund,
even if as a result thereof Borrower would be required to make a Deficiency
Deposit to maintain the Loan In Balance.
(ii) The
following specific adjustments shall be made to the Available Sources of Funds
for this transaction: (i) Upgrade Deposits may be counted as an
Available Source of Funds but only up to the amount of costs of upgrades
included in Lender’s Estimate of Remaining Costs, and (ii) tax escrow
deposits may be counted as an Available Source of Funds to the extent real
estate taxes are included in Lender’s Estimate of Remaining Costs.
41
(d) “Lender’s Estimate of
Remaining Costs” shall mean the amount which Lender estimates in its
reasonable discretion is necessary to pay for all Hard Costs and Soft Costs of
the Project which have not yet been paid, including, without limitation, the
following: (i) all costs of the Construction in accordance with the
Approved Plans and Specifications; (ii) all costs required to complete the
preparation of the Residential Units and the Hotel in accordance with the
Approved Finish Standards, including, without limitation, all finishes of
Residential Units required to be paid for by Borrower under Sales Agreements or
reasonably anticipated for unsold Residential Units; (iii) marketing and sales
costs for the Residential Units (other than closing costs which are paid from
gross sales proceeds or by Borrower pursuant to Section 10.1); (iv)
marketing, sales, and operation costs for the Hotel, Commercial Space and Venue;
(v) costs of furniture, fixtures and equipment for the Hotel, Commercial Space
and Venue; (vi) any work to be completed by Borrower in accordance with the
Budget; (vii) the amount required to pay interest on the Loan through the
Maturity Date; (viii) all expenses payable or reimbursable to Lender under
the terms of this Agreement; (ix) all real estate taxes, insurance premiums
and operating costs of the Project (in excess of any Net Operating Income which
Lender estimates will be available for payment of such costs); (x) all amounts
needed for tenant allowances, tenant improvements and leasing commissions with
respect to executed Leases and with respect to unleased space at the Project;
(xi) all other amounts of any type or nature incurred or expected to be incurred
in connection with the acquisition, Construction, marketing and sale of the
Project or in order for Borrower to comply with the Loan Documents or the
requirements of Governmental Authorities.
(e) In
determining Lender’s Estimate of Remaining Costs (or the amount of any Budget
Line Item), Lender shall be entitled to take into account all conditions, facts
and circumstances related to the Project or the Loan then existing, and all
other considerations which Lender, in its reasonable discretion, determines are
relevant to, or reasonably likely to have an impact upon, any of the amounts
included in Lender’s Estimate of Remaining Costs. By way of example
and not limitation, Lender shall have the right, in making Lender’s Estimate of
Remaining Costs (or determining the sufficiency of any Budget Line Item), to
consider in such manner and to such extent as Lender determines is appropriate
in its reasonable discretion: (i) all existing and proposed modifications to the
Approved Plans and Specifications (whether or not Lender has the right to
approve the same), whether the same are proposed by Borrower or by a contractor,
(ii) all existing construction contracts and purchase orders or, in those
instances where construction contracts or purchase orders have not yet been let,
written bids from responsible contractors, tradesmen and material suppliers
acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion, or Lender’s estimate of such
costs, (iii) all Change Orders and pending Change Orders, (iv) all claims by any
contractors or suppliers for increased or additional amounts, including all
claims by the General Contractor for increases in the amount payable under
General Contract, (v) all disputes between Borrower and any supplier or
contractor (including the General Contractor), (vi) whether any savings in a
Budget Line Item have been demonstrated to Lender’s satisfaction to be final and
permanent and whether any proposed reallocation of such savings to pay other
costs satisfies the limitations and restrictions in Section 10.2(b)
of this Agreement (and any applicable restrictions or limitations in the General
Contract), and (vii) the effect of actual or anticipated delays, whether or not
permitted by the terms of this Agreement.
42
11.2 Additional
Equity Investment.
The
Budget has been prepared and approved with the expectation that Eight Million
Dollars ($8,000,000) in Project costs set forth in such Budget will be funded by
Reinvested Proceeds available pursuant to Section
14.10. Such anticipated Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000) of
Reinvested Proceeds shall be an Available Source of Funds for determining
whether the Loan is In Balance, provided that if less than Eight Million Dollars
($8,000,000) of Reinvested Proceeds has been generated and is on deposit with
Lender upon the earliest to occur of the following: (A) the Initial Maturity
Date, (B) the occurrence of an Event of Default, and (C) the date upon which the
Unfunded Commitment (exclusive of the Interest Reserve Budget Line Item) is
insufficient to fund a draw request for Project Costs then due, Borrower, in
addition to the Initial Equity Investment, shall deposit with Lender additional
equity in an amount equal to (i) Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000), less (ii)
the aggregate amount of Reinvested Proceeds actually received by Lender to date
(the “Additional
Equity Investment,” and collectively with the Initial Equity Investment
and any additional equity investment that may be required by Lender hereunder,
the “Equity
Investment”). Borrower shall deposit any required
Additional Equity Investment with Lender within ten (10) days of written request
by Lender (and, in any event, any further disbursement of the
Loan). Provided Borrower contributes such Additional Equity
Investment as and when required pursuant hereto and provided further that no
Default or Event of Default then exists, on or following such time as the full
amount of the Reinvested Proceeds are contributed pursuant to Section 14.10(b)
hereof, Borrower may, as part of its draw package, request that Lender reimburse
Borrower in the amount of the Additional Equity Investment.

CONSTRUCTION
PAYOUT REQUIREMENTS
12.1 Applicability
of Sections.
The
provisions contained in this Article 12 shall
apply to the Full Opening of the Loan and to all disbursements of proceeds
during Construction.
12.2 Monthly
Payouts.
After the
Full Opening of the Loan, further disbursements shall be made during
Construction from time to time as the Construction progresses, but no more
frequently than once in each calendar month, except to pay interest from the
Interest Reserve Budget Line Item in accordance with Section 10.4 or as
Lender may otherwise permit in its sole discretion. Hard Costs shall
be disbursed as incurred, less the Retainage. The General
Contractor’s fee shall be disbursed on a pro rata basis according
to the percentage of construction trade items (excluding general conditions,
Contractor’s fees and the Contractor’s Contingency) completed. All
disbursements of Loan proceeds must be approved by Lender in its reasonable
discretion based on costs expended as contained in the Budget. Lender
shall have no obligation to disburse funds if an Event of Default or material
Default has occurred and is continuing. Lender reserves the right to
at any time to make disbursements into an escrow to be subsequently disbursed to
Borrower by the Title Insurer.
43
Lender,
through Lender’s Consultant and/or its own employees, may perform site
inspections to confirm that progress on the Project conforms to the sworn
statements, and that the Project is progressing within the Budget and the
Approved Plans and Specifications. Such inspections and confirmations
are solely for the benefit of Lender and may not be relied upon by
Borrower. Upon such confirmation, and upon receipt of a title
company’s commitment to issue a date down endorsement insuring the funds about
to be disbursed, the Title Insurer shall disburse money to Borrower or General
Contractor pursuant to the escrow agreement, or, after any default, directly to
subcontractors or other payees. Provided Lender receives complete and
orderly draw requests, together with the appropriate lien waivers, it shall make
every commercially reasonable effort to fund such requests within ten (10)
Business Days. No disbursements for costs arising under the General
Contract for a particular component of the Project shall be made later than
ninety (90) days after the applicable Completion Date for such
component.
12.3 Documents
to be Furnished for Each Disbursement.

later than the subsequent draw request, so long as the Title Insurer provides
Lender with a date down endorsement to the Title Policy as provided in Section 12.3(f)
below;
(b) A sworn
owner’s statement detailing the names of all suppliers, vendors, consultants and
contractors with whom Borrower has contracted, amounts of contracts, amounts

subcontractors and material suppliers for costs of the Construction (the “Retainage”). Once
Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that any given Subcontract is 50%
complete and all such work thereunder has been approved by Lender and Lender’s
Consultant, no further Retainage for such Subcontract will be
required. Once Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that any
given Subcontract is fully complete and all work thereunder has been approved by
Lender and Lender’s Consultant, any Retainage payable under such Subcontract
shall be released. The remaining Retainage shall be disbursed when
Borrower has satisfied the requirements set forth in Article 13
below. Retainage may be witheld from tenant improvement work to be
performed by Borrower on the same basis. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Lender shall not withhold a Retainage for purchases of those
materials set forth on Exhibit P attached
hereto.

temporarily stored at the Project, shall be made in an aggregate amount not to
exceed $3,000,000 with respect to materials covered by the General Contract plus

for Off-site Materials.
Lender
shall make disbursements for materials stored off-site, in which event all of
the requirements of Section 12.5 shall be
applicable to such disbursement, provided that the following additional
requirements must have been complied with: (a) such stored
materials are stored in a bonded public warehouse or another facility acceptable
to Lender in its sole discretion; (b) Borrower has caused any warehouseman
(as defined in Section 7-102 of the Uniform Commercial Code) that possesses,

General Contract plus $3,000,000 for materials under owner direct contracts
other than the General Contract (such amounts are subject to increase at
Lender’s reasonable discretion upon request of Borrower).
12.7 Specific
Limitation on Disbursements.

amounts in the Budget shall be disbursed to Borrower, Guarantor, any direct or
indirect beneficial owner of an interest in Borrower, Guarantor or any Affiliate
of any of the foregoing, except for (a) the Developer Fee Budget Line Item equal
to $6,000,000 (the “Permitted Affiliate
Expenses”), which shall be paid, provided no Event of Default exists and
the Loan is In Balance as follows: (i) $4,500,000, to be paid in equal monthly
installments of $112,500 per month over Loan Term (or until such earlier time as
such amount has been fully disbursed), and (ii) the remaining balance of

SALE
OF RESIDENTIAL UNITS OR OTHER PORTIONS OF THE PROJECT
14.1 Price
List Schedule.
Borrower
has submitted to Lender for its written approval a Price List Schedule (the
“Price List
Schedule”) stating, at a minimum, a detailed breakdown of each
condominium Residential Unit’s size, type, location and gross sales price
(“List Price”)
for each Residential Unit (including, but not limited to, a weighted average
gross sales price (excluding Parking Spaces and Upgrades) of not less than $620
per Saleable Square Foot for each Residential Unit). The approved
Price List Schedule is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit
M. No changes to the approved Price List Schedule shall be
permitted without Lender’s prior written approval, in Lender’s sole and
reasonable discretion. The List Prices for each Residential Unit
include the price of one (1) Parking Space per bedroom in such Residential Unit,
up to two (2) Parking Spaces per Residential Unit, except for the penthouse
Residential Units, which are each allocated three (3) Parking Spaces but does
not include storage space. Of the 306 Parking Spaces allocated to the
Residential Units collectively, 300 Parking Spaces shall be included in the List
Prices of such Residential Units as set forth above, and 6 Parking Spaces (the
“Excess Parking
Spaces”) shall not be included in the List Price of any Residential Unit
and shall be available for sale at an additional charge.
14.2 Sales
Agreements.
Each
Residential Unit shall be sold under a written agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) in
the form of the sales agreements attached hereto as Exhibit O, or on a
form otherwise approved by Lender, in its sole discretion in all material
respects conforming to all Laws, including those requiring disclosures to
prospective and actual buyers. Lender has previously approved the
form of the Sales Agreement to be used for such Residential Unit sales, which
form of sales contract is attached hereto as Exhibit
O. No Residential Unit may be leased, sold or conveyed under
any lease, conditional sales contract or other arrangement where Borrower
retains a deferred portion of the purchase price or any residual or contingent
interest in the Residential Unit, including any purchase money security
interest, without the express prior written consent of Lender in each
instance. All agreements (each, also a “Sales Agreement”)
with respect to the sale of any portion of the Project other than the
Residential Units shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender in
its reasonable discretion. Borrower shall deliver to Lender a copy of each
executed Sales Agreement within thirty-one (31) days of its
execution. Borrower shall promptly enforce the obligations of the
purchasers under each Sales Agreement upon default by any such purchaser, except
as lender may otherwise agree in writing in its reasonable
discretion.
49
14.3 Purchaser
Deposits.
(a) On or
before Closing (as to xxxxxxx money deposits received prior to Closing), and
promptly after receiving any additional deposits made by the Residential Unit
Purchasers from time to time (as to xxxxxxx money deposits received following
Closing), Borrower shall deposit with Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx, L.L.P. and Heritage
Title Company of Austin, Inc., jointly and severally, as escrow agent (or any
successor agent approved by Lender in writing in its sole discretion) (together,
jointly and severally, the “Escrow Agent”), in
accordance with the Escrow Agreement, a copy of which has been delivered to
Lender, and shall cause Escrow Agent to maintain in one or more accounts titled
in the name and subject to the control of Escrow Agent all xxxxxxx money
deposits paid by Residential Unit Purchasers under the Sales Agreements (the
“Xxxxxxx Money
Deposits”). At Lender’s option, Borrower shall require Escrow
Agent to use Lender as the depository bank for all deposits, and in such case,
the deposits shall be placed in an interest bearing account. Such
account(s) shall bear interest at a rate comparable to the rate provided by
Escrow Agent.
(b) Borrower
shall require all Residential Unit Purchasers to make xxxx Xxxxxxx Money
Deposits of at least ten percent (10%) of the gross sales price at the time of
contract execution. If Xxxxxxx Money Deposits are held by an Escrow
Agent, Borrower shall cause Escrow Agent to deliver to Lender within seven (7)
days of the end of each calendar month a statement indicating the amount of
funds on deposit representing Xxxxxxx Money Deposits, together with information
on the date of deposit, and to which Residential Unit all such deposits
apply. Borrower shall not accept any non-xxxx Xxxxxxx Money Deposits
or Upgrade Deposits. Borrower shall not be permitted to use or apply
the Xxxxxxx Money Deposits prior to the closing of the sale of a Residential
Unit, whereupon the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit shall be considered part of the Net
Sales Proceeds and applied as set forth in Section
14.9.
(c) If a
Residential Unit Purchaser desires to alter the Approved Construction Finish
Standards, which results in additional costs to Borrower to complete a
Residential Unit (an “Upgrade”), Borrower
shall require such Residential Unit Purchaser to deposit funds with Lender prior
to the commencement of any work relating to such Upgrade (the “Upgrade
Deposit”). Borrower shall require Residential Unit Purchasers
to make Upgrade Deposits equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the cost to
Borrower of such Upgrade. All Upgrade or Residential Unit
customization costs shall be subject to Lender’s approval if such costs for any
Residential Unit are in excess of Forty Dollars ($40.00) per Saleable Square
Foot. Loan proceeds shall not be available for payment of costs
incurred in connection with Upgrades or customization items, the sole
responsibility for such costs being with Borrower. So long as
permitted under applicable law, Lender shall permit Borrower to use Upgrade
Deposits to perform such Upgrades. To the extent that the amount of
Upgrade Deposit on deposit with Lender is not sufficient to pay in full the
costs of any such Upgrades when due, Borrower shall promptly deposit with Lender
an additional Equity Investment equal to the costs of the
Upgrade. Such deposit will be required at the time of the execution
of the Sales Agreement containing the Upgrade. Lender shall also be
entitled to inspect any Upgrade work, and shall be entitled to review and
approve reasonable supporting documentation with respect to such Upgrade work,
in a manner commensurate with other Hard Cost disbursements before approving
payment therefor.
50
(d) The
Deposits shall be segregated from other funds and shall be held, applied or
returned, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the respective Sales
Agreement and applicable Laws. To the extent Borrower becomes
entitled to retain any Deposits that have not been previously applied in
accordance herewith (i.e. upon the forfeiture of any deposit by a Residential
Unit Purchaser), such amounts shall be paid to Lender and applied to the
Loan. To the extent that a Residential Unit Purchaser becomes
entitled to return of its Deposits under its Sales Agreement or under applicable
Laws, so long as the Upgrade Deposit has not already been spent by Borrower,
Borrower shall be entitled to notify either Lender or the Escrow Agent, as
applicable, and withdraw from the escrow account such Deposit for return to the
Residential Unit Purchaser, with a copy of such notice to be simultaneously sent
to Lender if Deposits are held by an Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent
may not be changed without the prior written consent of Lender. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that Borrower’s rights to
the Deposits are subject to the rights of the Residential Unit Purchasers to
such Deposits as set forth in the Sales Agreements, the Escrow Agreement and
under applicable Law, and that Lender or the Escrow Agent, as the case may be,
may be obligated to return the Deposits to such Residential Unit Purchasers when
and as so required even if an Event of Default exists.
(e) Borrower
hereby grants to Lender a security interest in all of Borrower’s right, title
and interest in and to the Deposits and all accounts holding any such deposits
from time to time. Upon request by Lender, Borrower shall promptly
provide to Lender such documentation as Lender determines is necessary to
confirm and perfect such security interest. Such security interest is
subject to the rights of Residential Unit Purchasers in and to such Deposits in
accordance with the terms of their respective Sales Agreements and applicable
Laws.
14.4 Residential
Unit Sales.
Borrower
may enter into Sales Agreements and sell Residential Units without Lender’s
prior written consent only if:
(a) A Sales
Agreement is executed with the Residential Unit Purchaser, the form and
substance of which does not materially differ from the form of sales contract
attached hereto as Exhibit O and
approved by Lender in writing and that otherwise conforms to the requirements of
this Agreement, and Borrower has not entered into any side agreements relating
to the purchase of the Residential Units with any Residential Unit
Purchaser.
(b) The Sales
Agreement requires full payment in cash not later than closing, with no purchase
money financing provided by Borrower, and the sale of the Residential Unit is
for a base price (including one (1) Parking Space per bedroom in such
Residential Unit, up to two (2) Parking Spaces per Residential Unit, except for
the penthouse Residential Units, which are allocated three (3) Parking Spaces
per Residential Unit) that is greater than or equal to 90% of such Residential
Unit’s List Price set forth in the Price List Schedule, excluding from such base
sale price any Upgrades and any seller concessions or discounts;
(c) The Sales
Agreement requires non-refundable xxxxxxx money of at least ten percent (10%) of
the gross sales price to be deposited with Lender or the Escrow Agent in
accordance with Section 14.3
hereof;
51
(d) The
Residential Unit Purchaser is not affiliated with Borrower or Guarantor, and no
more than two Residential Units may be purchased by any single Residential Unit
Purchaser or its Affiliates without Lender’s prior approval, except that up to
nine (9) Residential Units may be sold to Affiliates of Borrower or
Guarantor;
(e) The Sales
Agreement must not be cancelable or contain any unexpired contingencies except
as set forth in Exhibit
O;
(f) The Sales
Agreement must not include a Residential Unit completion, delivery, or closing
date which gives the Residential Unit Purchaser the ability to cancel or
terminate the Sales Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Sales Agreement may include an outside estimated Project completion date that is
no earlier than one (1) year following the completion date for the floor upon
which such Residential Unit is to be located, as stated in the construction
schedule attached to the General Contract, plus extensions for Unavoidable
Delay;
(g) The Sales
Agreement clearly identifies any Upgrade required to be provided by Borrower, as
seller, which Upgrade and Upgrade Deposit shall comply with the requirements
hereof and all Laws;
(h) The Sales
Agreement is not assignable by the Residential Unit Purchaser, except to an
Affiliate of the Residential Unit Purchaser;
(i) [Intentionally
Omitted];
(j) Subject
to subsection (k) below, the Sales Agreement stipulates that, in the event that
the Residential Unit Purchaser fails to perform thereunder, Borrower shall be
entitled to the full amount of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit and Upgrade
Deposit and can xxx
the Residential Unit Purchaser to collect any unpaid portion of such Xxxxxxx
Money Deposit; and
(k) The Sales
Agreement complies with ILSA through a HUD filing, not through an exemption or
exception, and complies with all other local and state regulations applying to
condominium sales. Lender shall have received an executed
acknowledgement by each Residential Unit Purchaser stipulating that prior to the
date of the Sales Agreement acceptance, Residential Unit Purchaser received a
copy of the Property Report which has been accepted for filing by
HUD. The Sales Agreement must not be dated earlier than the effective
date on which HUD accepted the Statement of Record. In addition,
Lender shall have approved the specific terms of the form contract, which shall
contain provisions required by ILSA including:
(i) A
statement that the Residential Unit Purchaser may revoke the Sales Agreement for
a period of seven (7) days from the date of signing, or if applicable state law
provides for a longer period, the longer period shall be stated.
(ii) A
statement that if the Residential Unit Purchaser has not received the ILSA
Property Report prior to executing the Sales Agreement, the Sales Agreement
shall be revocable for two (2) years from the date the Sales Agreement was
signed by Residential Unit Purchaser.
52
(iii) A
provision which states that if the Residential Unit Purchaser defaults under the
terms of the Sales Agreement, the Residential Unit Purchaser shall receive
written notice of default, and shall have a period of twenty (20) days from the
date of the notice to cure the default.
(iv) Damages
payable to Borrower under the Sales Agreement must conform to the limitations in
ILSA, which generally limit damages to the greatest of 15% liquidated damages or
actual damages.
“Qualifying Sales
Agreement” shall mean (i) an agreement meeting all of the conditions
required by this Agreement, and (ii) those certain Sales Agreements delivered to
Lender prior to the date of this Agreement, despite the failure of such Sales
Agreements to comply with the requirements of Sections 14.4(d),
(e) (f) and (h) above. Borrower
shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, enter into any Sales
Agreement that is not a Qualifying Sales Agreement, or any other documentation
pertaining to the sale of any portion of the Project; provided, however, that
Borrower may enter into a Qualifying Sales Agreement subject to a commercially
reasonable financing contingency for up to sixty (60) days provided such
Qualifying Sales Agreements will not be deemed Qualifying Sales Agreements until
the expiration or satisfaction of the Deed of Trust
contingency. Borrower shall not terminate a Qualifying Sales
Agreement for any reason other than the default of the Residential Unit
Purchaser thereunder without Lender’s prior written consent.
14.5 Sales
Operations and Seller’s Obligations.
Borrower
shall at all times maintain adequate marketing capability, and shall timely
perform all obligations required to be performed by it under each Sales
Agreement.
14.6 Delivery
of Sales Information and Documents.
Within
ten (10) days after the end of each month, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a
sales report (the “Sales Report”)
showing (a) each Residential Unit under contract for sale, including the date of
the contract, the Residential Unit number, the base contract price plus the
charge for Upgrades, the amount of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit and, if applicable,
the Upgrade Deposit, and the date expected to close; and (b) for each
Residential Unit closed, the Residential Unit number, the base contract price
plus the charge for Upgrades, the date closed, and the Net Sales Proceeds paid
to Lender; and (c) for each Sales Agreement cancelled by a Residential Unit
Purchaser, the Residential Unit number, the date cancelled, the reason the
contract was cancelled by the Residential Unit Purchaser and a statement
regarding whether the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit was returned to the Residential Unit
Purchaser or retained by Borrower (and remitted to Lender). Borrower
shall also promptly deliver to Lender such other sales information and documents
that Lender from time to time may reasonably request, including operating
statements, all new Sales Agreements, and notice of or information regarding any
claimed breach or disavowal of buyer’s or seller’s obligations under any one or
more Sales Agreements.
53
14.7 Borrower’s
Acknowledgment Regarding Buyer Financing.
Borrower
acknowledges that Lender is not committed to provide any financing to or for the
buyers of any individual Residential Units.
14.8 Condominium
Regime.
Borrower
shall promptly, and in any event (a) prior to the closing of the first purchase
and sale of any Residential Unit, cause the Condominium Documents to be filed or
recorded, as appropriate, and (b) prior to Lender’s execution of any partial
release of the Deed of Trust, cause the Master Condominium Declaration to be
recorded. Prior to recording or filing any documents, Borrower shall
submit to Lender for Lender’s final review and reasonable approval, executed
copies of the proposed Condominium Documents, which, once approved, shall be
filed or recorded, as applicable. If such documents have been
submitted to and approved by Lender prior to the Full Loan Opening Date, any
changes or additions to such documents from those submitted to Lender prior to
the Full Loan Opening Date shall be subject to Lender’s consent, which consent
shall not unreasonably be withheld. Borrower shall on an ongoing
basis comply with all requirements of ILSA and all other applicable Laws
relating to the sale or marketing of the Residential Units. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower shall (i) timely file its
Annual Report of Activity with HUD each year during the term hereof; (ii) pay
any fees in connection therewith before the due date; (iii) deliver financial
statements to HUD within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the close of
Borrower’s fiscal year; and (iv) amend the HUD Property Report to reflect any
change in any material representation of a material fact required in the
Statement of Record within fifteen (15) days of learning of the
change. Borrower shall deliver to Lender (simultaneously with
delivery to the applicable governmental authority) copies of all filings and
notices delivered to HUD in accordance with ILSA, and Borrower shall, within
five (5) Business Days after receipt thereof, deliver to Lender all notices,
requests, correspondence and demands delivered by HUD, the State of Texas or the
City of Austin to Borrower. Borrower shall not amend the HUD Property
Report or the City or State Property Report without Lender’s prior written
consent. Provided that no Event of Default exists, Lender, prior to
the initial conveyance of Residential Units, shall execute such subordinations
of the Deed of Trust and other documents as are needed to permit the recordation
or filing of such documents. Prior to such execution by Lender and as
a condition thereto, Borrower shall furnish to Lender a copy of (a) a notice
sent by Borrower to the condominium association informing the association of
Lender’s rights under the declaration as a beneficiary under the Deed of Trust
and furnishing the association with Lender’s address for notice purposes, (b)
resignations of all Borrower-appointed directors and officers, which Lender may
deliver at any time an Event of Default exists, and (c) such other documents in
connection with the establishment of such condominium regime as Lender
reasonably requests.
Borrower
shall not permit control of any condominium association to be turned over to the
Residential Unit owners more than thirty (30) days prior to the date that is
required by Texas law.
54
14.9 Release
of Residential Units.
(a) At
Borrower’s request upon the closing of a Residential Unit sale, Lender shall
issue a partial release of the Residential Unit from the Deed of Trust, so long
as all of the following conditions are satisfied at the time of, and with
respect to, the partial release:
(i) The
Master Declaration of Condominium and the Residential Condominium Declaration
have each been recorded in the public records of Xxxxxx County, Texas;
(ii) No Event
of Default exists;
(iii) Such sale
is pursuant to a Qualifying Sales Agreement;

14.10;
(v) Lender
receives a copy of the closing statement and applicable Residential Unit release
no later than 9:00 a.m. (Chicago time) at least one (1) Business Day prior to
any Residential Unit sale; and
(vi) All
escrow, closing and recording costs have been paid at no expense to
Lender.
(b) The
execution of a Sales Agreement shall not by itself satisfy the conditions for
release of the Residential Unit that is being sold; those conditions must be
satisfied in full at the time the Residential Unit is to be
released.
(c) If Lender
does not require satisfaction of all of the conditions described above before
releasing one or more Residential Units, that alone shall not be a waiver of
such conditions, and Lender reserves the right to require their satisfaction in
full before releasing any further Residential Units from the Deed of
Trust.
(d) The
“Release Price”
for a Residential Unit (including one (1) Parking Space per bedroom in such
Residential Unit, up to two (2) Parking Spaces per Residential Unit, except for
the penthouse Residential Units, which are each allocated three (3) Parking
Spaces ) shall be the greatest of (x) 100% of Net Sales Proceeds from the sale
of the applicable Residential Unit and associated Parking Spaces (including any
additional charge or fee in excess of the purchase price payable to Borrower or
its Affiliates), (y) 90% of the gross sales proceeds, exclusive of any extras
and/or Upgrades, plus 100% of any Upgrade Profits for such Residential Unit, and
(z) 90% of the Sales Agreement contract sales price (excluding the selling price
of any extras and/or Upgrades, and without accounting for sales commissions paid
from the Project Budget), plus 100% of any Upgrade Profits for such Residential
Unit.
(e) Borrower
shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses associated with the sale of the
Residential Unit, including title expenses, reasonable legal fees, brokerage and
sales commissions and other closing costs, from the portion of the sales price
in excess of such
55
Release
Price and, if such excess is insufficient for such purpose, shall pay such
excess costs from its own funds.
(f) If
requested by Lender, Borrower shall also deposit with Lender (to the extent not
required to be deposited in condominium association bank accounts) all amounts
deducted or set aside for real estate taxes or retained for assessments or
working capital (and pledges its interest in such account(s) to
Lender). Lender shall hold such amount subject to the rights of
Residential Unit Purchasers and the condominium association therein, provided,
however, Lender shall permit Borrower to use the funds deposited in such
accounts for their legally required purposes.
14.9A Sales of Parking, Storage, Commercial
Space or Venue.
(a) The Hotel
may be released from the Deed of Trust during the term of the Loan in accordance
herewith. The Venue and the Commercial Space may be subject to
release from the Deed of Trust, provided that, in addition to the satisfaction
of the other conditions of this Section 14.9A, the Venue and the Commercial
Space must be released concurrently. Borrower shall provide for
Lender’s prior review and written approval any agreement for the sale of any
Excess Parking Space, Storage, Hotel, and/or Venue and Commercial Space, and
Borrower shall obtain Lender’s consent thereto prior to executing such sale
agreement. Lender’s consent and approval under this paragraph shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(b) At
Borrower’s request upon the closing of a sale of the Hotel, the Commercial Space
or Venue, Lender shall issue a partial release of the portion of the Project
from the Deed of Trust, so long as all of the following conditions are satisfied
at the time of, and with respect to, the partial release:
(i) The
Declaration of Condominium has been recorded in the public records of Xxxxxx
County, Texas;
(ii) All
rights of the declarant under the Declaration of Condominium shall remain with
Borrower following the sale and release;
(iii) No Event
of Default exists;
(iv) With
respect to the Venue and Commercial Space only, Borrower shall have closed and
conveyed, pursuant to Qualifying Sales Agreements, and Lender shall have
received, Release Prices for such number of Residential Units totaling or
exceeding 137,500 Saleable Square Feet of space; and
(v) Such
other conditions as Lender shall reasonably require.
(c) The
“Release Price”
for:
(i) Any
Excess Parking Space shall be the greater of (x) 100% of the Net Sales Proceeds
for such Parking Space(s), and (y) $20,000 per Parking Space;
(ii) The
storage space shall be the greater of (x) 100% of the Net Sales Proceeds for
such storage space, and (y) $20 per square foot of such storage
space;
56
(iii) The Venue
and the Commercial Space, together, shall be the greater of: (x) 100% of the Net
Sales Proceeds or proceeds of the third-party re-financing of such area, and (y)
$20,000,000; and
(iv) The Hotel
shall be the greatest of: (x) 100% of the Net Sales Proceeds or proceeds of the
third-party re-financing of the Hotel, (y) $70,000,000, and (z) an amount, to be
applied as a payment of principal, that, after payment of the Exit Fee and the
escrow of Reinvested Proceeds, would be sufficient to reduce Lender’s Remaining
Exposure to: (A) $175, multiplied by (B) the Saleable Square Feet in the
Remaining Units.
14.10 Application
of Sales Proceeds.
Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, all Release Prices received by Lender in
connection with the sale of a Residential Unit or other component of the Project
addressed in Section
14.9A above shall be applied by Lender as follows (regardless of any
contrary order of payment specified by Borrower):
(a) First,
with respect to Release Prices from Residential Units, to the payment of any
Exit Fee then due, or, with respect to the Release Price from the Hotel, to the
payment of the full Exit Fee;
(b) Second,
the first $8,000,000 of aggregate Release Prices collected pursuant to closings
that otherwise satisfy the terms and provisions of this Agreement (collectively,
the “Reinvested
Proceeds”) shall be held by Lender and shall be used by Lender (before
funding from the Loan proceeds) to fund un-depleted line items in the Budget
(except for the interest payable on the Loan, which shall be paid from the
Interest Reserve Budget Line Item); provided, however, Lender shall not be
required to disburse any Reinvested Proceeds unless: (i) the Initial Equity
Investment has been contributed in accordance with Section 8.1(a) hereof, (ii)
the Additional Equity Investment, if any, has been contributed, and (iii) all
conditions set forth in Section 4.1(c) are satisfied. Borrower hereby
pledges to Lender all Reinvested Proceeds held by Lender from time to time as
additional security for the Loan.
(c) Third, to
the payment of principal then due and owing under the Note, until the amounts
due thereunder have been paid in full; and
(d) Finally,
to any other amounts payable to Lender under the Loan Documents, including any
costs and expenses of Lender.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, (i) Lender may elect in its sole discretion to apply Release
Prices proceeds first to payment of accrued interest (but shall never be
obligated to do so, even if doing so would cure a default in the payment of
interest) and (ii) if an Event of Default exists, Lender may apply all
amounts received to the indebtedness under the Loan Documents in such order as
Lender may elect in its sole discretion.
57
Article
15
OTHER
COVENANTS
15.1 Borrower
further covenants and agrees as follows:
(a) Full Opening of Loan on or
Prior to Full Loan Opening Date. Borrower shall cause all
conditions precedent set forth in Article 8 and
Section 9.1 of
this Agreement, except those which are expressly required to be satisfied by a
later date, to be satisfied on or before May 15, 2008. Borrower shall
cause all conditions precedent to the Full Opening of the Loan to be complied
with, and Borrower shall qualify for Full Loan Opening, no later than January 1,
2010. If Borrower fails to satisfy timely either of such
requirements, an Event of Default shall exist and Lender may terminate its
commitment to fund the Loan by written notice to Borrower.
(b) Compliance with Condominium
Documents. Once the Declaration of Master Condominium and/or
Residential Condominium Declaration are recorded, and subject to the provisions
of Section 82.112(b) of the Texas Uniform Condominium Act, Borrower shall pay
all general and special assessments for common charges and expenses and
insurance premiums made against or relating to the Residential Units owned by
Borrower or otherwise payable by Borrower under the Condominium Documents as the
same shall become due and payable and prior to delinquency, and not later than
the tenth (10th) day of
each month provide to Lender evidence of such payments, and in the event
Borrower shall fail to make such payments as the same become due and payable and
prior to delinquency, Lender may from time to time at its option, but without
any obligation to do so and without notice or demand upon Borrower, make such
payments, and all expenses paid by Lender for such purpose, including, without
limitation, attorneys’ fees, shall be added to the outstanding principal amount
of the Loan and shall be payable on demand and bear interest at the Default Rate
until repaid. Borrower shall not (and shall not permit any Borrower
appointed directors), without the prior written consent of Lender (not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), give any consent or perform any action in
furtherance of any material modification or amendment of the Condominium
Documents, including any modifications or amendments to the Condominium
Documents which would permit a Residential Unit Purchaser to rescind its Sales
Agreement under Texas Laws. Borrower shall comply with all of the
material terms, covenants and conditions on its part to be performed under the
Condominium Documents, as the same shall be in force and effect from time to
time; provided, however, that if Borrower fails to cure such non-compliance
within any applicable cure periods provided in the Condominium Documents, Lender
may from time to time at its option, but without any obligation to do so, cure
or remedy any such default by Borrower (Borrower hereby authorizing Lender to
enter upon the Project as may be necessary for such purposes), and all
reasonable expenses paid by Lender for such purpose, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall be added to the outstanding
principal balance of the Loan and shall be payable on demand and bear interest
at the Default Rate until repaid. Borrower shall deliver to Lender a
true and complete copy of each and every notice of default, if any, received by
Borrower with respect to Borrower under any of the Condominium Documents or
applicable law regarding the condominium. Borrower shall not (and
shall not permit any Borrower appointed director to), without the prior written
consent of Lender, exercise any right it may have to vote for (x) the
expenditure of insurance proceeds (which are governed by Article 16 below) or
condemnation awards for the repair or restoration of the Project or (y) any
additions or improvements to the common elements of the Project.
58
(c) Construction of
Improvements. The Improvements shall be constructed and fully
equipped in a good and workmanlike manner with materials of high quality,
substantially in accordance with the Approved Plans and Specifications (or in
accordance with any changes therein that may be approved in writing by Lender or
as to which Lender’s approval is not required). Such construction and
equipping shall be commenced and completed, as applicable, and shall be
prosecuted with due diligence and continuity in substantial accordance with the
Construction Schedule, the requirements of all Sales Agreements and the
Operating Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower shall
commence construction by the Required Commencement Date, and shall substantially
complete (i) the entire Project no later than the Completion Date applicable to
the entire Project, and (ii) each particular portion of the Project no later
than the Completion Date applicable to such portion. The Completion
Dates are not subject to extension for any reason, except that Lender may elect,
but shall be under no obligation, to extend such dates at its sole discretion,
but such election shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to enforce any
other Completion Date or a waiver of any of Lender’s remedies and shall not
constitute any custom or course of dealing between the parties
hereto.
(d) Payment for
Work. Borrower agrees to fully pay and discharge when due and
payable all claims for labor done and material and services furnished in
connection with the construction of the Project and to take all other steps to
forestall the assertion of claims against the Project or the Loan.
(e) Inspection by
Lender. Borrower shall reasonably cooperate with Lender in
arranging for inspections by representatives of Lender of the progress of the
Construction from time to time including an examination of (i) the Improvements,
(ii) all materials to be used in the Construction, (iii) all plans and shop
drawings that are or may be kept at the construction site, (iv) any contracts,
bills of sale, statements, receipts or vouchers in connection with the
Improvements, (v) all work done, labor performed, and materials furnished in and
about the Improvements, (vi) all books, contracts and records with respect to
the Improvements, and (vii) any other documents relating to the Improvements or
the Construction. Borrower shall cooperate with Lender’s Consultant to enable
him to perform his functions hereunder and will promptly comply with Lender’s
requirements and remove any defect regarding the Construction of the
Improvements or the progress thereof.
(f) Materialmen’s Liens and
Contest Thereof. Borrower shall not suffer or permit any
materialmen’s lien claims to be filed or otherwise asserted against the Project
or any funds due to the General Contractor, and shall promptly discharge the
same in case of the filing of any claims for lien or proceedings for the
enforcement thereof, provided, however, that Borrower shall have the right to
contest in good faith by appropriate legal proceeding and with reasonable
diligence the validity of any such lien or claim, provided that Borrower posts a
statutory xxxx xxxx over such lien. Lender shall not be
required to make any further disbursements of the proceeds of the Loan until any
materialmen’s lien claims have been removed or bonded over, and Lender may, at
its option, restrict disbursements to reserve sufficient sums to pay 125% of the
face amount of the lien unless and until the lien is removed or bonded
over.
(g) Settlement of Materialmen’s
Lien Claims. If Borrower shall fail promptly either (i) to
discharge any such lien, or (ii) to post a statutory xxxx xxxx over such lien,
in each case, within thirty (30) days after the filing of the lien, Lender may,
at its election (but shall not be
59
required
to), procure the release and discharge of any such claim and any judgment or
decree thereon and, further, may in its sole discretion effect any settlement or
compromise of the same, or may furnish such security or indemnity to the Title
Insurer, and any amounts so expended by Lender, including premiums paid or
security furnished in connection with the issuance of any surety company bonds,
shall be deemed to constitute disbursement of the proceeds of the Loan
hereunder. In settling, compromising or discharging any claims for
lien, Lender shall not be required to inquire into the validity or amount of any
such claim.
(h) Proceedings. In
addition to (and not in lieu of Borrower’s covenants set forth in Section 15.1(f)), if
any action, claim or proceeding affecting title to the Land, the construction of
the Project, Borrower, Guarantor, the rights of Lender under any Loan Document,
or otherwise affecting the Project, be filed or commenced, then at the request
of Lender, Borrower shall appear in and defend, at Borrower’s sole cost and
expense, any such action or proceeding and, if applicable, Borrower shall insure
or bond over such action, claim or proceeding in accordance with Section
15.1(f). If Borrower fails to appear and defend any such
action or proceeding, then Lender may commence, intervene in, and defend actions
or proceedings affecting the Project or the transactions contemplated herein,
and compromise or settle any claim or controversy pertaining thereto, employing
legal counsel acceptable to Lender to defend such claims at Borrower’s sole
cost, unless due to the willful misconduct of Lender. Lender shall
not be liable to Borrower for any action, error, mistake, omission or delay
pertaining to the actions described in this Section or any damages resulting
therefrom, unless due to the willful misconduct of Lender. Any cost
incurred by Lender under this Section shall be deemed to be expenses of the Loan
payable by Borrower pursuant to Article 7 of
this Agreement.
(i) Insurance. Borrower
shall cause insurance policies to be maintained in compliance with Exhibit E, or
such other insurance requirements as may be reasonably required by Lender, at
all times. Borrower shall provide Lender, prior to the date hereof, a
certificate(s) demonstrating appropriate insurance coverage(s), which shall
demonstrate insurance coverage that meets or exceeds the requirements on Exhibit
E. Borrower shall timely pay all premiums on all insurance
policies required hereunder, and as and when additional insurance is required,
from time to time, during the progress of Construction, and as and when any
policies of insurance may expire, furnish to Lender, premiums prepaid,
additional and renewal insurance policies with companies, coverage and in
amounts reasonably satisfactory to Lender in accordance with Exhibit
E.
(j) Payment of
Taxes. Borrower shall pay all real estate taxes and
assessments and charges of every kind upon the Project before the same become
delinquent. Borrower may use Loan proceeds for such purpose to the
extent available in the Budget for such purpose upon meeting all conditions
precedent set forth in this Agreement to any such
disbursement. Borrower 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) Borrower has notified Lender of Borrower’s intent
to contest such taxes, and (iii) Borrower has deposited security in form and
amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender, in its reasonable discretion, and has
increased the amount of such security so deposited promptly after Lender’s
request therefor. If Borrower fails to commence such contest or,
having commenced to contest the same, and having deposited such security
required by Lender for its full amount, shall
60
thereafter
fail to prosecute such contest in good faith or with due diligence, or, upon
adverse conclusion of any such contest, shall fail to pay such tax, assessment
or charge, Lender may, at its election (but shall not be required to), pay and
discharge any such tax, assessment or charge, and any interest or penalty
thereon, and any amounts so expended by Lender shall be deemed to constitute
disbursements of the Loan proceeds hereunder (even if the total amount of
disbursements would exceed the face amount of the Note). Borrower
shall furnish to Lender evidence that taxes are paid at least five (5) days
prior to the last date for payment of such taxes and before imposition of any
penalty or accrual of interest.
(k) Tax Escrow
Accounts. After the earlier to occur of (i) an Event of
Default or (ii) the Budget Line Item for real estate taxes having been exhausted
(in either case, a “Triggering Event”),
Borrower shall make monthly tax escrow deposits in the amount of one-twelfth
(1/12) of one hundred ten percent (110%) of the annual real estate taxes as
reasonably estimated by Lender, such deposit to be held in an interest bearing
escrow account held by Lender in Lender’s name and under its sole dominion and
control. (If an Event of Default occurs and Lender requires real
estate tax escrow deposits to be made, but such Event of Default is thereafter
cured, then, so long as no other Triggering Event exists, Lender shall not
require further real estate tax deposits to be made.) If at any time
Lender determines in its sole discretion that the amount of the monthly escrow
payments made pursuant to this Section 15.1(k) are
not sufficient to pay in full the next installment of real estate taxes then
due, then upon written notice from Lender of the amount of any expected
deficiency (and regardless of whether a Triggering Event then exists), Borrower
shall then deposit funds equal to such amount with Lender. All
payments deposited in the escrow account, and all interest accruing thereon, are
pledged as additional collateral for the Loan. Notwithstanding
Lender’s holding of the escrow account, nothing herein shall obligate Lender to
pay any real property taxes with respect to any portion of the Project at any
time an Event of Default exists.
(l) Personal
Property. All of Borrower’s personal property, fixtures,
attachments and equipment delivered upon, attached to or used in connection with
the Construction or the operation of the Project shall always be located at the
Project and shall be kept free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and security
interests, other than as otherwise permitted under the Loan
Documents.
(m) Leasing
Restrictions. (i) Borrower shall not enter into any Leases
pertaining to the Project without Lender’s prior written approval in its sole
discretion. Borrower shall provide Lender with a copy of any proposed
Lease no less than ten (10) days prior to the proposed execution date of such
Lease. Lender’s approval of any Lease for the Commercial Space shall
be predicated upon, among other things: (A) current tenant financial information
in sufficient detail to assess the experience and credit worthiness of the
tenant, (B) credit worthiness of tenant, (C) form and content of the Lease,
including, among other things, tenant’s obligation to provide, at least
annually, its financial information to Borrower, (D) tenant’s agreement to enter
into an acceptable subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement, and
(E) a minimum (7) seven year term, without any right to cancel prior to five (5)
years; provided, however, Lender shall approve a five (5) year Lease term, but
the tenant improvement funding permitted for such Lease shall be reduced
proportionately. Except as otherwise approved by Lender, each Lease
must provide for a minimum triple net rent of $35 per Rentable Square Foot at
all times throughout the term of the Loan, and, for purposes of calculating such
rent, the total value of free
61
rent,
non-standard lease concessions and tenant improvements in excess of the budgeted
amount will be amortized at a per annum rate of ten percent (10%) over the full
term of the Lease, including any free rent period. The resulting amount will be
deducted from the lowest stated rent at any point in the term of the Lease, and
that figure must be equal to or greater than the minimum rent noted
above. Furthermore, Borrower will in no event offer more than six (6)
months of free rent, tenant improvements in excess of twenty percent (20%) more
than the budgeted amount, or other non-standard concessions unacceptable to the
Lender.
(ii) Borrower
shall not execute any Lease without written acknowledgement of Lease approval by
the Lender, except that Leases of Commercial Space covering not more than 1,500
Rentable Square Feet individually, and 8,000 Rentable Square Feet in the
aggregate, and otherwise satisfying the leasing requirements set forth above may
be entered into without Lender’s consent. Lender shall endeavor to
provide (i) preliminary approval or disapproval of any proposed Lease within
five (5) Business Days of the receipt of all pertinent information needed for
approval, and (ii) final approval or disapproval of any proposed lease
transaction within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt of final proposed lease
documentation and any other information needed for its decision, and Lender’s
failure to approve a Lease within such ten (10) Business Day period shall be
deemed its disapproval thereof.
(iii) A
Lease, which has been approved by the Lender (or as to which Lender’s approval
is not required under the terms of clause (ii)), is hereinafter referred to as
an “Approved
Lease.” Approval of a Lease shall not create a presumption
that the Loan is In Balance as the result of excess tenant improvements or
leasing commissions as set forth in Section 12.8
hereof. To the extent that the Loan is not In Balance due to tenant
improvements or leasing commissions in excess of the amount allowed pursuant to
Section 12.8,
Borrower shall deposit additional equity within ten (10) days following the
execution of the Lease. An Approved Lease shall not be amended or modified (in
any material respect) or terminated without the Lender’s prior written
consent.
(iv) Borrower
shall not accept any rental payment under any Approved Lease in advance of its
due date, other than acceptance of a prepayment of the first month’s rent upon
the execution of an Approved Lease.
(n) Defaults Under
Leases. Borrower will not suffer or permit any material breach
or default to occur in any of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Leases,
nor suffer or permit the same to terminate by reason of any failure of Borrower
to meet any requirement of any Lease, including those requirements with respect
to any time limitation within which any of Borrower’s work is to be done or the
space is to be available for occupancy by the lessee. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, a default by Borrower under the terms
of an Approved Lease that would allow the tenant to withhold or delay the
payment of rent, or to terminate or cancel the Approved Lease, shall constitute
a Default hereunder. Borrower shall notify Lender promptly in writing
in the event a tenant commits a material default under a material
Lease.
(o) Lender’s Attorneys’ Fees for
Enforcement of Agreement. In case of any Event of Default
hereunder, Borrower (in addition to Lender’s attorneys’ fees, if any, to be paid
pursuant to Section
7.5) will pay Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ and paralegal fees
(including, without
62
limitation,
any attorney and paralegal fees and costs incurred in connection with any
litigation or bankruptcy or administrative hearing and any appeals therefrom and
any post-judgment enforcement action including, without limitation,
supplementary proceedings) in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement;
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if at any time or times
hereafter Lender employs counsel (whether or not any suit has been or shall be
filed and whether or not other legal proceedings have been or shall be
instituted) for advice or other representation with respect to the Project, this
Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, or to protect, collect, lease,
sell, take possession of, or liquidate any of the Project, or to attempt to
enforce any security interest or lien in any portion of the Project, or to
enforce any rights of Lender or Borrower’s obligations hereunder, then in any of
such events all of the reasonable attorneys’ fees arising from such services,
and any expenses, costs and charges relating thereto (including fees and costs
of paralegals), shall constitute an additional liability owing by Borrower to
Lender, payable on demand. Such attorneys’ fees and expenses shall
include fees and expenses of Lender’s in-house counsel as specified in Section
7.5.
(p) Appraisals. Lender
shall have the right to obtain a new or updated Appraisal of the Project from
time to time, but not more frequently than two (2) times after Closing, provided
Lender shall have the right to obtain a new or updated Appraisal at any time a
Default or Event of Default exists. Borrower shall cooperate with
Lender in this regard. If the Appraisal is obtained to comply with
this Agreement or any applicable law or regulatory requirement, or bank policy
promulgated to comply therewith, or if an Event of Default exists, Borrower
shall pay the reasonable costs for any such Appraisal upon Lender’s
request.
(q) Financial
Statements.
(i) Borrower
and each Guarantor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender annual
financial statements with respect to Borrower and each Guarantor within ninety
(90) days after the end of its fiscal year. Guarantor’s financial
statements shall be audited and Borrower’s financial statements shall be
certified by Borrower’s managing member. Guarantor and, after the
opening of the Commercial Space and/or Venue, Borrower shall also each deliver
to Lender quarterly financial statements within forty five (45) days after the
end of each fiscal quarter. Each such quarterly financial statement shall be
accompanied by a certification by an authorized financial officer of Guarantor
as to Guarantor’s compliance with the Guarantor Financial Covenants and
attaching information sufficient to demonstrate such compliance. All such
financial statements shall be in a format approved in writing by Lender in
Lender’s reasonable discretion and in substance acceptable to
Lender. Each financial statement shall be certified as true, complete
and correct by its preparer and by Borrower or, in the case of each Guarantor’s
financial statements, by the Guarantor to whom it relates. Financial
statements of each Guarantor shall include verifications, supporting schedules
and additional statements as needed to substantiate the information contained in
such statements. In addition, such financial statements shall include
disclosure of any pending or threatened litigation and judgments entered against
Borrower or each Guarantor. Borrower and each Guarantor shall deliver
to Lender Borrower’s, each Guarantor’s, and each entity in which a Guarantor has
a material interest, federal and state tax returns by April 15 of each year
(except that if the date on which such returns may be filed is extended beyond
April 15, then such entity shall provide Lender with a copy of the extension
request and shall furnish such tax returns to Lender within thirty (30) days
after the date such returns are filed). Borrower shall inform Lender
as to any filed or threatened
63
(in
writing) litigation which would have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s or
each Guarantor’s ability to perform their respective obligations under the Loan
Documents promptly after learning thereof. Borrower and each
Guarantor shall provide such additional financial information as Lender
reasonably requires. Borrower shall during regular business hours
permit Lender or any of its agents or representatives to have access to and
examine all of its books and records regarding the development and operation of
the Project and, in addition, agrees to provide Lender with copies of any
purchase contracts pertaining to the Project. Borrower agrees that
Lender may retain an investigator to research available public records and
information relating to Borrower, the principals of Borrower and each
Guarantor.
(ii) Borrower
shall furnish to Lender within three (3) Business Days of receipt from time to
time each proposed budget and “Operating Plan” received from Hotel
Operator. Borrower shall not approve any such budget or Operating
Plan without Lender’s prior written consent, to be granted or withheld in
Lender’s reasonable discretion.
(iii) Borrower
shall, within five (5) Business Days of receipt from time to time furnish to
Lender all “Operating Reports” received under Section 10.2 of the Hotel
Operating Agreement, all financial statements received under Section 10.3
of the Hotel Operating Agreement and all other material information or notices
received from Hotel Operator.
(r) Sign and
Publicity. Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall, at Lender’s
sole cost and expense, promptly erect a sign approved in advance by Lender in a
conspicuous location on the Project during the Construction indicating that the
financing for the Project is provided by Lender, so long as such sign complies
with Laws and requirements of all Governmental Authorities. Lender
reserves the right to publicize the making of the Loan. Without
limiting the foregoing, following Closing, Lender shall have the right to
announce publicly in print or otherwise that Lender has made and closed the Loan
to Borrower. In connection therewith, Lender shall have the right to
describe the Loan, including Borrower’s name, the type of loan and the amount
thereof (but excluding the interest rate, the amounts of Lender’s fees and the
specific nature of the non-recourse guaranty), and to identify the Project and
the location thereof by way of description and/or photographs of the
Project.
(s) Lost
Note. Upon Lender’s furnishing to Borrower an affidavit to
such effect, Borrower shall, if the Note is mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen, deliver to Lender, in substitution therefor, a new note containing the
same terms and conditions as the Note
(t) Indemnification. Borrower
shall indemnify Lender, including each party owning an interest in the Loan and
their respective officers, directors, employees and consultants (each, an “Indemnified Party”)
and defend and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from and against all claims,
injury, damage, loss, liability, cost and/or expense (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) of any and every kind to any persons or
property by reason of (i) the Construction; (ii) the sale, operation or
maintenance of the Project; (iii) any claim with respect to application,
disposition or return of any Xxxxxxx Money Deposit or Upgrade Deposit, (iv) any
breach of representation or warranty, default or Event of Default under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or related Document; or (v) any other
matter arising in connection with the Loan, Borrower, Guarantors, any
Residential Unit Purchaser or Sales Agreement, or the Project.
64
No
Indemnified Party shall be entitled to be indemnified against its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct. The foregoing indemnification shall
survive repayment of the Loan.
(u) No Additional Debt;
Mezzanine Loan.
(i) Except
for the Loan, Borrower shall not incur or guarantee any indebtedness (whether
personal or nonrecourse, secured or unsecured) other than customary trade
payables paid within ninety (90) days after they are incurred. Except
for the liens securing the Loan and except for the Permitted Exceptions,
Borrower shall keep the Project free and clear of liens, provided, however,
mechanics’ liens may be contested in compliance with Section
15.1(f).

mezzanine financing may be borrowed by Borrower or its constituent entities,
except that Mezzanine Borrower shall be entitled to obtain a Mezzanine Loan upon

with evidence of such funding delivered to Lender, prior to Full Loan Opening,
(E) Borrower shall have furnished to Lender current contact information for
each of the individuals comprising the Mezzanine Lender, and (F) such other

Opening.

Laws. Borrower shall comply with all applicable requirements
(including applicable Laws) of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction
over Borrower or the Project.

material notices pertaining to the Project received by Borrower from any

against, Borrower or Guarantor.
(aa) Construction
Contracts. Borrower shall not enter into, materially modify or
materially amend, or terminate or cancel any material contracts for the
Construction, without the prior written approval of Lender. Borrower
shall not enter into any contract which would cause the Loan to cease to be In

thereof, executed copies of all contracts between Borrower, architects,
engineers and contractors and all subcontracts between the General Contractor or
contractors and all of their subcontractors and suppliers, which contracts and
subcontracts may not have been furnished pursuant to Section 9.1(a) at
Closing. The development agreement between the Borrower and Guarantor
(or Guarantor’s Affiliate) may be modified without Lender’s consent so long as
such modification does not materially adversely affect Lender and may be
terminated upon satisfaction of the same conditions as are applicable to CJUF’s
replacement of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx 00 Xxxxxxxxxxx, X.X. as the managing member of
Borrower under Section
17.2 below.
(bb) Correction of
Defects. Within five (5) days after Borrower acquires
knowledge of or receives notice of a material defect in the Improvements or any
material departure from the Approved Plans and Specifications, or any other
requirement of this Agreement, Borrower shall proceed with diligence to correct
all such defects and departures.
(cc) Hold Disbursements in
Trust. Borrower shall receive and hold in trust for the sole
benefit of Lender (and not for the benefit of any other person, including, but
not limited to, contractors or any subcontractors) all advances made hereunder
directly to Borrower, for the purpose of paying costs of the Construction in

otherwise prevent or declare invalid or unlawful the construction, sale,
occupancy, maintenance or operation of the Project or the Residential Units,
Borrower shall cause such proceedings to be diligently contested in good faith,
and in the event of an adverse ruling or decision, shall prosecute all allowable
appeals therefrom, and shall, without limiting the generality of
the
66
foregoing,
resist the entry or seek the stay of any temporary or permanent injunction that
may be entered and use commercially reasonable efforts to bring about a
favorable and speedy disposition of all such proceedings. Lender’s
reasonable costs and disbursements (including attorney’s fees) in connection
with any such proceedings, whether or not Lender is a party thereto, shall be
deemed to be expenses of the Loan payable by Borrower in accordance with Article 7 of
this Agreement.
(hh) Commencement of
Work. No work or Construction of any character shall be
commenced upon, nor shall any materials be delivered to, the Project until (i)
the Deed of Trust has been recorded in the records of Xxxxxx County, Texas and a
file stamped copy thereof has been received by Lender, or, if work has commenced
with Lender’s consent, the Title Insurer has agreed to insure Lender to Lender’s
satisfaction and (ii) the subguard insurance required by Lender has been
properly received and approved by Lender.
(ii) Operating
Revenues. In the event the Project produces gross operating
revenues, Borrower shall establish with Lender (i) an interest bearing operating
account for the Project (other than the Hotel) into which Borrower shall deposit
all revenue associated with the Project (other than the Hotel), and from which
Borrower shall make withdrawals to pay all operating expenses of the Project
(other than the Hotel) and, to the extent of any remaining Net Operating Income,
interest due on the Loan in accordance with Section 10.4, and
(ii) an interest bearing Hotel revenue account into which Borrower shall deposit
or shall cause to be deposited all Net Operating Income distributed by Hotel
Operator to Borrower, and from which Borrower shall pay interest due on the Loan
in accordance with Section
10.4. Borrower’s failure to deposit operating revenues or Net
Operating Income into such accounts as set forth above shall constitute an Event
of Default hereunder. In the event that Net Operating Income,
together, in such accounts exceeds the monthly interest due, the then excess
shall remain in the applicable account for the payment of future month’s
interest. Borrower hereby pledges each such account and all funds on deposit
therein to Lender. Borrower hereby pledges, to the extent permitted
by, and subject to the limits of, the Hotel Operating Agreement, all accounts to
be established in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Hotel
Operating Agreement, and all funds on deposit therein to
Lender. Prior to the opening of the Hotel, Borrower shall deliver, or
shall cause to be delivered, to Lender, a control agreement from each depository
bank with which each such Hotel operating account has been established
substantially similar in form and substance to the reasonable form of same

operated and maintained in accordance with the Waste Management Plan during the
construction and operation of the Project.
(kk) Hotel
Documents. Borrower shall timely perform and comply with all
of its obligations under the Hotel Documents and all other agreements with Hotel
Operator, Starwood
67
Hotels
& Resorts Worldwide, Inc., and their affiliates with respect to the Hotel,
and shall keep all such agreements in full force and effect. Borrower
shall not modify, amend or terminate any such agreements without Lender’s prior
written consent, to be given in its reasonable discretion.
(ll) Pre-sale
Requirement. The Pre-sale Requirement must remain satisfied
throughout the Loan Term.
15.2 Single
Purpose Entity Covenants.

hereby represents, warrants and covenants that without Lender’s prior written
consent, which may be withheld in Lender’s sole discretion, and except as

CASUALTIES
AND CONDEMNATION
16.1 Lender’s
Election to Apply Proceeds on Indebtedness.
(a) Subject
to the provisions of Section 16.1(b)
below, Lender may elect to negotiate, settle, collect, retain and apply upon the
indebtedness of Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents
all proceeds of insurance or condemnation (individually and collectively
referred to as “Proceeds”) after
deduction of all expenses of collection and settlement, including reasonable
attorneys’ and adjusters’ fees and charges. Lender shall have the
right to participate with Borrower in negotiation of any settlement, adjustment
or compromise of any claim arising in connection with a casualty to the
Improvements or any condemnation of all or part of the Project; provided,
however, if an Event of Default exists, Lender shall have the right to settle
any claim without Borrower’s participation or consent. Any Proceeds
remaining after repayment of the indebtedness under the Loan Documents shall be
paid by Lender to Borrower.
(b) Notwithstanding
anything in Section
16.1(a) to the contrary, in the event of any casualty to the Improvements
or any condemnation of part of the Project, Lender agrees to make available the
Proceeds for restoration of the Improvements if (i) no Event of Default exists,
(ii) all Proceeds are deposited with Lender, (iii) in Lender’s reasonable
judgment, the amount of Proceeds available for restoration of the Improvements
(together with undisbursed proceeds of the Loan, if any, allocated for the cost
of the Construction and any sums deposited with Lender
70
by
Borrower for such purpose) is sufficient to pay the full and complete costs of
such restoration, (iv) the cost of restoration does not exceed twenty percent
(20%) of the stated amount of the Note, (v) if Lender determines
that the cost of restoration exceeds $5,000,000, Lender determines in its
reasonable discretion that the values set forth in the Appraisal reviewed and
approved by Lender at Closing remain valid; (vi) in Lender’s reasonable
determination, the Project can be restored to an architecturally and
economically viable project in compliance with applicable Laws, (vii) Guarantor
reaffirms the Completion and Carveout and the Limited Payment Guaranty in
writing, (viii) Borrower shall have provided evidence reasonably acceptable to
Lender that following restoration (and completion of the Project) the Pre-Sale
Requirement will remain satisfied, (ix) the Hotel Documents, and the management
agreement for the Venue, will each remain in full force and effect; and (x) in
Lender’s reasonable determination, such restoration is likely to be completed so
that the Residential Units sufficient to satisfy the Pre-sale Requirement may be
delivered to all Residential Unit Purchasers prior to the outside delivery dates
contained in their respective Sales Agreements and in any event not later than
the Maturity Date. On and after such time as the condominium is
formed, Borrower agrees to vote its votes with respect to all unsold Residential
Units (and to cause all Borrower appointed directors to vote their votes) in a
manner consistent with the provisions of this Article 16.
16.2 Borrower’s
Obligation to Rebuild and Use of Proceeds Therefor.
In case
Lender does not elect to apply or does not have the right to apply the Proceeds
to the indebtedness, as provided in Section 16.1 above,
Borrower shall:
(a) Proceed
with diligence to make settlement with insurers or the appropriate Governmental
Authorities and cause the Proceeds to be deposited with Lender;
(b) In the
event the Proceeds and the available proceeds of the Loan are insufficient to
assure Lender that the Loan will be In Balance, promptly deposit with Lender any
amount necessary to place the Loan In Balance; and
(c) Promptly
proceed with the assumption of construction of the Improvements, including the
repair of all damage resulting from such fire, condemnation or other cause and
restoration to its former condition.
Any
request by Borrower for a disbursement by Lender of Proceeds and funds deposited
by Borrower shall be treated by Lender as if such request were for an advance of
the Loan hereunder, and the disbursement thereof shall be conditioned upon
Borrower’s compliance with and satisfaction of the same conditions precedent as
would be applicable under this Agreement for an advance of the
Loan.

and Participations.
Lender
may from time to time, with written notice to Borrower, sell the Loan and the
Loan Documents (or any interest therein) and may grant participations in the

to do any of the foregoing and to execute all documents reasonably required by
Lender in connection therewith that do not materially adversely affect
Borrower’s or Guarantor’s rights under the Loan Documents or materially increase
Borrower’s or Guarantor’s obligations under the Loan Documents.
17.2 Prohibition
of Assignments and Transfers by Borrower.
Borrower
shall not assign or attempt to assign its rights under this Agreement and any
purported assignment shall be void. Without the prior written consent
of Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, Borrower shall not suffer or permit (a)
any change in the ownership, or management or economic interests (whether direct
or indirect) of the Project, or (b) any Transfer. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (A) so long as CJUF continues to hold the ownership interest in
Borrower which CJUF held at Closing and no monetary Event of Default then exists
(including without limitation default in making a Deficiency Deposit), or if a
monetary Event of Default does exist and is cured by Borrower or CJUF, CJUF
may with prior written notice to Lender (but without Lender’s
consent) replace Xxxxxxx Xxxxx 00 Xxxxxxxxxxx, X.X. as the managing member of
Borrower (with Xxxxxxx Xxxxx 00 Xxxxxxxxxxx, X.X. retaining its current
ownership interest but as non-managing member), (B) even if a monetary Event of
Default then exists, so long as CJUF continues to hold the ownership interest in
Borrower which CJUF held at Closing, CJUF may request that Lender approve CJUF
replacing Xxxxxxx Xxxxx 00 Xxxxxxxxxxx, X.X. as managing member of Borrower
(with Xxxxxxx Xxxxx 00 Xxxxxxxxxxx, X.X. retaining its current ownership
interest but as non-managing member), and Lender shall grant or deny such
consent in its reasonable discretion, and (C) the following Transfers of
interests as Borrower’s direct or indirect constituent entities shall be
permitted without Lender’s consent: (i) Transfers of direct or
indirect interests in Canyon-Xxxxxxx Urban Fund II, L.P., (ii) Transfers of
non-controlling interests in Guarantor, (iii) Leases permitted hereunder; and
(iv) the sale and release of various components of the Project pursuant to Sections 14.9 and
14.9A
hereof. The sale and conveyance of Residential Units shall be
permitted in accordance with Article 14
hereof. Borrower may also dispose of immaterial quantities of
personal property without Lender’s prior consent.
17.3 Prohibition
of Transfers in Violation of ERISA.
In
addition to the prohibitions set forth in Section 17.2 above,
Borrower shall not assign, sell, pledge, encumber, transfer, hypothecate or
otherwise dispose of its interest or rights in this Agreement or in the Project,
or attempt to do any of the foregoing or suffer any of the foregoing, nor shall
any party owning a direct or indirect interest in Borrower assign, sell, pledge,
Deed of Trust, encumber, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any of
its rights or interest (direct or indirect) in Borrower, attempt to do any of
the foregoing or suffer any of the foregoing, if such action would cause the
Loan, or the exercise of any of Lender’s rights in connection therewith, to
constitute a prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code or
otherwise result
72
in Lender
being deemed in violation of any applicable provision of
ERISA. Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Lender free and harmless
from and against all losses, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses), taxes, damages (including consequential damages) and expenses Lender
may suffer by reason of the investigation, defense and settlement of claims and
in obtaining any prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA necessary or
desirable in Lender’s sole judgment or by reason of a breach of the foregoing
prohibitions. The foregoing indemnification shall be a recourse
obligation of Borrower and shall survive repayment of the Note, notwithstanding
any limitations on recourse contained herein or in any of the Loan
Documents.
17.4 Successors
and Assigns.
Subject
to the foregoing restrictions on transfer and assignment contained in this Article 17, this
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding on the parties
hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

liability does not exceed $200,000 and any Guarantor’s maximum liability does
not exceed $500,000).

(u) The
occurrence of any other event or circumstance identified as an Event of Default

Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein, in the event that any Event of
Default shall occur with respect to Guarantor under Section 19.1(g),
(h), (i), (j), (m), (n) or (o) (a “Guarantor Financial
Default”), Borrower or Guarantor may cure such Event of Default by
depositing with Lender, within ten (10) Business Days following Lender’s written
notice to Borrower of such Event of Default, an irrevocable and unconditional
letter of credit in the amount of Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000.00) from
an issuer and otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in its sole
discretion. Once such letter of credit is deposited with Lender
pursuant hereto and for so long as same remains in effect, no Guarantor
Financial Default shall be considered an Event of Default
hereunder. Lender may draw upon such letter of credit and apply such
drawn funds to the indebtedness under the Loan Documents in such order as Lender
shall elect if an Event of Default occurs thereafter (except for a Guarantor
Financial Default), or the letter of credit shall expire in less than thirty
(30) days, or if the Loan is not paid in full on the Maturity Date.

LENDER’S
REMEDIES IN EVENT OF DEFAULT
20.1 Remedies
Conferred Upon Lender.
Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may pursue
any one or more of the following remedies concurrently or successively, it being
the intent hereof that none of such remedies shall be to the exclusion of any
other:
(a) Take
possession of the Project and complete the Construction and do anything that is
necessary or appropriate in its sole judgment to fulfill the obligations of
Borrower 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,
Borrower hereby appoints and constitutes Lender its lawful attorney-in-fact with
full power of substitution in the Project to complete the Construction in the
name of Borrower; to use unadvanced funds remaining under the Note or that may
be reserved, escrowed or set aside for any purposes hereunder at any time, or to
advance funds in excess of the face amount of the Note, to complete the
Construction; to make changes in the Plans and Specifications that shall be
necessary or desirable to complete the Construction in substantially the manner
contemplated by the Plans and Specifications; to retain or employ new general
contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers and inspectors as shall be
required for said purposes; to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and
claims that may be liens or security interests, or to avoid such bills and
claims becoming liens against the Project; to execute all applications and
certificates in
76
the name
of Borrower prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with
the Improvements or Project; and to do any and every act that 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) Withhold
further disbursement of the proceeds of the Loan and/or terminate Lender’s
obligations to make further disbursements hereunder;
(c) Declare
the Note to be immediately due and payable;
(d) Use and
apply any monies or letters of credit deposited by Borrower with Lender,
regardless of the purposes for which the same was deposited, to cure any such
default or to apply on account of any indebtedness under this Agreement that is
due and owing to Lender;
(e) Fund
proceeds of the Loan to Guarantor to complete the Project (if Guarantor is
entitled to receive such proceeds under the Completion and Carveout Guaranty or
Lender otherwise elects to fund such proceeds to Guarantor), and in such event
such proceeds shall be considered disbursements of the Loan, whether or not
requested by Borrower (Borrower’s authorization of such disbursements being
deemed given hereby);
(f) Assess
interest on all amounts outstanding under the Note at the Default Rate;
and
(g) 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 19.1(g) with
respect to Borrower, all amounts evidenced by the Note shall automatically
become due and payable, without any presentment, demand, protest or notice of
any kind to Borrower.

GENERAL
PROVISIONS
21.1 Captions.

captions and headings of various Articles, Sections and subsections of this
Agreement and Exhibits pertaining hereto are for convenience only and are
not to be considered as defining or limiting in any way the scope or intent of
the provisions hereof.
21.2 Modification;
Waiver.
No
modification, waiver, amendment or discharge of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document shall be valid unless the same is in writing and signed by the party
against which the enforcement of such modification, waiver, amendment or
discharge is sought.
77
21.3 Governing
Law.
Irrespective
of the place of execution and/or delivery, this Agreement shall be governed by,
and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of
Illinois.
21.4 Acquiescence
Not to Constitute Waiver of Lender’s Requirements.
Each and
every covenant and condition for the benefit of Lender contained in this
Agreement may be waived by Lender, provided, however, that to the extent that
Lender may have acquiesced in any noncompliance with any construction or
nonconstruction conditions precedent to the Closing Funding, the Full Opening of
the Loan or to any subsequent disbursement of Loan proceeds, such acquiescence
shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver by Lender of such requirements with
respect to any future disbursements of Loan proceeds.
21.5 Disclaimer
by Lender.
This
Agreement is made for the sole benefit of Borrower and Lender, and no other
person or persons shall have any benefits, rights or remedies under or by reason
of this Agreement, or by reason of any actions taken by Lender pursuant to this
Agreement. Lender shall not be liable to any contractors,
subcontractors, supplier, architect, engineer, tenant or other party for labor
or services performed or materials supplied in connection with the
Construction. Lender shall not be liable for any debts or claims
accruing in favor of any such parties against Borrower or others or against the
Project. Lender, by making the Loan or taking any action pursuant to
any of the Loan Documents, shall not be deemed a partner or a joint venturer
with Borrower or fiduciary of Borrower. No payment of funds directly
to a contractor or subcontractor or provider of services shall be deemed to
create any third-party beneficiary status or recognition of same by
Lender. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing:
(a) Lender
shall have no liability, obligation or responsibility whatsoever with respect to
the Construction. Any inspections of the Construction made by or
through Lender are for purposes of administration of the Loan only and neither
Borrower nor any third party is entitled to rely upon the same with respect to
the quality, adequacy or suitability of materials or workmanship, conformity to
the Plans and Specifications, state of completion or otherwise;
(b) Lender
neither undertakes nor assumes any responsibility or duty to Borrower to select,
review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform Borrower of any matter
in connection with the Project, including matters relating to the quality,
adequacy or suitability of: (i) the Plans and Specifications, (ii)
architects, contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers employed or
utilized in connection with the Construction, or the workmanship of or the
materials used by any of them, or (iii) the progress or course of Construction
and its conformity or nonconformity with the Plans and Specifications; Borrower
shall rely entirely upon its own judgment with respect to such matters, and any
review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information
to Borrower by Lender in connection with such matters is for the protection of
Lender only, and neither Borrower nor any third party is entitled to rely
thereon; and
78
(c) Lender
owes no duty of care to protect Borrower, Guarantor, or any Tenant or
Residential Unit Purchaser against negligent, faulty, inadequate or defective
building or construction.
21.6 Partial
Invalidity; Severability.
If any of
the provisions of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person,
party or circumstances, shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the
remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such provision or provisions
to persons, parties or circumstances other than those as to whom or which it is
held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and every
provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent
permitted by law.
21.7 Definitions
Include Amendments.
Definitions
contained in this Agreement that identify documents, including, but not limited
to, the Loan Documents, shall be deemed to include all amendments and
supplements to such documents from the date hereof, and all future amendments,
modifications, and supplements thereto entered into from time to time to satisfy
the requirements of this Agreement or otherwise with the consent of
Lender. Reference to this Agreement contained in any of the foregoing
documents shall be deemed to include all amendments and supplements to this
Agreement.
21.8 Execution
in Counterparts.
This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties
hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed
to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the
same agreement.
21.9 Entire
Agreement.
This
Agreement, taken together with all of the other Loan Documents and all
certificates and other documents delivered by Borrower to Lender, embodies the
entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements, written or oral, relating
to the subject matter hereof.
21.10 Waiver
of Damages.
In no
event shall Lender be liable to Borrower for consequential, punitive or
exemplary damages, whatever the nature of a breach by Lender of its obligations
under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, and Borrower, for itself and
Guarantor, waives all claims for consequential, punitive or exemplary
damages.
21.11 Claims
Against Lender.
Lender
shall not be in default under this Agreement, or under any other Loan Documents,
unless a written notice specifically setting forth the claim of Borrower shall
have been given to Lender and Lender shall have failed to cure such default
within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from Borrower, provided
that if any such default cannot reasonably be cured
79
within
said thirty (30) day period, then Lender shall have an additional sixty (60) day
period to cure such failure and no default shall be deemed to exist hereunder so
long as Lender commences such cure within the initial thirty (30) day period and
diligently and in good faith pursues such cure to completion within such
resulting ninety (90) day period from the date of Borrower’s
notice. Borrower waives any claim, set-off or defense against Lender
arising by reason of any alleged default by Lender as to which Borrower does not
give such notice timely as aforesaid. Borrower acknowledges that such
waiver is or may be essential to Lender’s ability to enforce its remedies
without delay and that such waiver therefore constitutes a substantial part of
the bargain between Lender and Borrower with regard to the Loan.
21.12 Jurisdiction.
TO THE
GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO
REQUIRE MARSHALLING OF ASSETS BY LENDER. WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUIT,
ACTION OR PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (EACH, A “PROCEEDING”),
BORROWER IRREVOCABLY (A) SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE
AND FEDERAL COURTS HAVING JURISDICTION IN THE COUNTY OF XXXX AND STATE OF
ILLINOIS, AND (B) WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY HAVE AT ANY TIME TO THE
LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT, WAIVES ANY CLAIM
THAT ANY PROCEEDING HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND FURTHER WAIVES
THE RIGHT TO OBJECT, WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PROCEEDING, THAT SUCH COURT DOES NOT
HAVE JURISDICTION OVER SUCH PARTY. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL
PRECLUDE LENDER FROM BRINGING A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION NOR WILL
THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY ONE OR MORE JURISDICTIONS PRECLUDE THE
BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. BORROWER FURTHER
AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT, IN ADDITION TO ANY METHODS OF SERVICE OF PROCESS
PROVIDED FOR UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ALL SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY PROCEEDING IN
ANY ILLINOIS STATE OR UNITED STATES COURT HAVING JURISDICTION OVER THE COUNTY OF
XXXX MAY BE MADE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED
MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, DIRECTED TO BORROWER AT THE ADDRESS INDICATED
BELOW, AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE COMPLETE UPON RECEIPT; EXCEPT THAT IF
BORROWER SHALL REFUSE TO ACCEPT DELIVERY (AS OPPOSED TO UNABLE TO RECEIVE
DELIVERY), SERVICE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETE FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER THE SAME SHALL
HAVE BEEN SO MAILED.
21.13 Set-Offs.
After the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby
irrevocably authorizes and directs Lender from time to time to charge Borrower’s
accounts and deposits with Lender (or its Affiliates), and to pay over to Lender
an amount equal to any amounts from time to time due and payable to Lender
hereunder, under the Note or under any other Loan Document. Borrower
hereby grants to Lender a security interest in and to all such accounts and
deposits maintained by Borrower with Lender (or its Affiliates).
80
21.14 Binding
Effect.
The
covenants, conditions, waivers, releases and agreements contained in this
Agreement shall bind, and the benefits thereof shall inure to the parties hereto
and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and
assigns.
21.15 Waiver of Accord and
Satisfaction.
Borrower
hereby expressly waives any and all rights to effect an accord and satisfaction
of any secured obligation or any other debt of Borrower to Lender in accordance
with section 3-311 of the UCC. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this agreement or any other loan document, except as
expressly directed in a writing addressed to Borrower after the date hereof, any
and all communications or notices by Borrower or any other loan party to Lender
concerning disputed debts, obligations or liabilities, whether arising under
this agreement or otherwise, including without limitation any instrument
tendered as full satisfaction of a debt, shall be, in addition to the notices
required under Article 22
hereof, delivered to Corus Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 000, xxxxxxxxx Xxxx Xxx, 0000 Xxxxx

Illinois Collateral
Protection Act Notice
Unless
Borrower provides Lender with evidence of the insurance coverage required by
this Agreement, Lender may purchase insurance at Borrower’s expense to protect
Lender’s interest in the Project. This insurance may, but need not,
protect Borrower’s interest. The coverage that Lender purchases may
not pay any claim that Borrower makes or any claim that is made against Borrower
in connection with the Project. Borrower may later cancel any
insurance purchased by Lender, but only after providing Lender with evidence
that Borrower has obtained insurance as required by this
Agreement. If Lender purchases insurance for the Project, Borrower
will be responsible for the cost of that insurance, including interest and any
other charges Lender may impose in connection with the placement of the
insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the
insurance. The cost of the insurance may be added to Borrower’s total
outstanding balance or obligation. The cost of insurance may be more
than the cost of insurance Borrower may be able to obtain on its
own.
