rights, and rights-of-way or other similar property interests (collectively,

and used is not in material violation of any recorded and, to the best
knowledge of Borrower, unrecorded covenants, conditions or restrictions
of any kind or nature affecting all or any part of the Property or any
interest therein of which Borrower has knowledge. To the best knowledge
of Borrower, the Improvements can be fully rebuilt in the event of
casualty or destruction thereof under the Permits applicable to the
Property, subject, however, to non-discretionary requirements of any
Governmental Authority. No amendment or change in any Permit and no
amendment or change in zoning or any other land use control is being
sought or obtained by Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower or will be
sought or obtained by Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower with
respect to the Property or the Improvements, except as specifically and
reasonably approved in writing by Lender.

disclosed by the Engineer's Report, all Permits required by any
Governmental Authority for the operation of the Improvements and the
actual and contemplated uses thereof or otherwise required to be in
compliance with any Environmental Laws have been obtained. The copy of
the certificate of occupancy for the Property delivered to Lender is a
true and correct copy of the certificate of occupancy for the Property
and such certificate is in full force and effect and is not subject to
any conditions or limitations other than those of general applicability
to all certificates of occupancy for similar properties in the
applicable jurisdiction.
4.12.3 Borrower has heretofore delivered to Lender true,
correct and complete copies of each material Permit.
4.12.4 There are no pending or, to the best knowledge of
Borrower, threatened actions, suits or proceedings to revoke, attack,
invalidate, rescind or modify the zoning of the Property, or any
material Permits issued with respect to the Property or any part
thereof, or asserting that such Permits or zoning of the Property do
not permit the use of the Property as contemplated by the Loan
Documents.
Section 4.13 No Condemnation. Borrower has not received any notice of,
and to the best of Borrower's knowledge there does not exist, any actual,
proposed or threatened exercise of the power of eminent domain or other taking
by any governmental or quasi-governmental body or agency of all or any portion
of the Property or any interest therein or any right of access thereto.

other Significant Party is Insolvent or will be rendered Insolvent by execution

transactions contemplated thereby.

the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document with
the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor and (b) has received
reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Note, this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Giving effect to the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents, the fair salable value of Borrower's assets
exceeds, and will immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan
Documents and the advance of the proceeds thereof, exceed, Borrower's total
probable liabilities, including, without limitation, the maximum amount of its
subordinated, unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities. Borrower's
assets do not, and immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan
Documents and the advance of the proceeds thereof, will not, constitute
unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed
to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will,
incur debts and liabilities (including, without limitation, contingent
liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts and
liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts to be
payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower).

retained by Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower in connection with the Loan or
the Loan Documents. Borrower will pay any and all fees due to Broker in

Parties harmless from and against all loss, cost, liability and expense arising

any employee or agent of Borrower has dealt, including, without limitation,
sales, mortgage or leasing brokers or consultants.

knowledge, have ever been located, produced, used, stored, treated, transported,

currently located, stored or used at the Property, except with respect to such
Hazardous Substances which are (x) customarily located, stored or used in

described in (x) or (y) are at all times stored, located and used in compliance
with all Environmental Laws; (iii) to Borrower's knowledge, no Hazardous
Substances have been discharged, released or emitted, upon or from the Property
into the environment and no threat exists of a discharge, release or emission of
a Hazardous Substance upon or from the Property into the environment, which
discharge, release or emission, in either case, would subject the owner of the
Property to any damages, penalties or liabilities under any applicable
Environmental Laws; (iv) the Property has never been used as or for a mine, a
landfill, a dump or other disposal facility or a gasoline service station; (v)

any prior owner of the Property) as a permanent or temporary treatment, storage
or disposal site for any Hazardous Substance subject to regulation under
Environmental Laws; (viii) no violation of any Environmental Law now exists or
has ever existed in, upon, under, over or from the Property, no notice of any
such violation or any alleged violation thereof has been issued or given by any
governmental entity or agency, and there is not now nor has there ever been any
investigation or report involving the Property by any governmental entity or
agency which in any way relates to Hazardous Substances; (ix) no Person has
given any notice of or asserted any claim, cause of action, penalty, cost or
demand for payment or compensation, whether or not involving any injury or
threatened injury to human health, the environment or natural resources,
resulting or allegedly resulting from any activity or event described in clauses
(i)-(viii) above and to the knowledge of Borrower, no basis for such a claim
exists; (x) there are not now, nor to Borrower's best knowledge have there ever
been, any actions, suits, proceedings or damage settlements relating in any way
to Hazardous Substances, in, upon, under, over or from any Property; (xi) no
oral or written notification of a Release (as such term is defined in 42 U.S.C.
* 9601(22)) of any Hazardous Substances has been filed by or on behalf of
Borrower through authorized employees or agents and no Property is listed in the
United States Environmental Protection Agency's List of Hazardous Waste Sites or
any other list of Hazardous Substance sites maintained by any federal, state or

were made, not misleading.

except the indebtedness set forth on Exhibit B hereto.
Section 4.27 ERISA.
4.27.1 The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement, the Mortgage, and the other Loan Documents do not constitute
a Prohibited Transaction, assuming solely for this purpose that Lender
is a party in interest as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA ("Party In

ARTICLE V. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS
From the date hereof and until payment and performance in full of all
obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents or the earlier release of the
Liens of all Mortgages encumbering the Property (and all related obligations) in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender as follows:
Section 5.1 Transfers.
5.1.1 Except as expressly permitted in this Section 5.1 and
Section 8.7, and subject to Section 8.10 hereof, Borrower will not,
directly or indirectly, sell, assign, convey, pledge, hypothecate,
encumber or otherwise transfer (each of the foregoing constituting a
"Transfer") the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein or
suffer, consent to or permit the foregoing without, in each instance,
the prior written consent of Lender. Borrower will not permit any owner
of a legal or beneficial interest in Borrower (including, without
limitation, any owner (directly or indirectly) of a legal or beneficial
ownership interest in the SPE Entity) to Transfer such interest,
whether by transfer of stock, assignment of partnership interest or
other transfer of legal or beneficial interest in Borrower or in any
direct or indirect owner thereof, or otherwise permit any new or
additional legal or beneficial ownership interests in Borrower or any
direct or indirect owner, to be issued, including, without limitation,
by admission of new partners or members, without, in each instance, the
prior written consent of Lender. The foregoing provisions of this
Section 5.1.1 shall not, however, apply to (a) Transfers of ownership
interests in Borrower or the SPE Entity by or on behalf of an
individual owner thereof who is deceased or declared judicially
incompetent, to such owner's heirs, legatees, devisees, executors,
administrators, estate or personal representatives, but shall continue
to apply as to any subsequent Transfer and (b) sales of publicly owned
and traded shares of Golf Ventures, Inc., provided that Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxxxx shall not sell more than forty percent (40%) of the shares of
common stock of Golf Ventures, Inc. owned by him on the date hereof.
5.1.2 To the extent Lender elects to consent to any Transfer
as to which its consent is required hereunder, Lender shall be entitled
to condition its consent on such matters as Lender may elect, in its
sole reasonable discretion, including, without limitation, execution of
instruments of assignment and assumption with respect to the Loan
Documents and the collateral therefor, payment of reasonable
consideration, delivery of Officer's Certificates and affidavits and
indemnities, including an affidavit and indemnification regarding
Internal Revenue Code Section 1445 and 7701, receipt by Lender of
opinions regarding "non-consolidation" regarding the parties to the
Transfer and their respective Affiliates and the assumptions of
obligations hereunder, receipt of confirmations from the Rating
Agencies that the then current rating for the Securities will not be
withdrawn, qualified or downgraded as a result of the Transfer, the
transferee under the Transfer satisfies the criteria set forth in
Article IX of this Agreement and such other matters or documents as
Lender may request. Within ten (10) days after closing of any Transfer,
whether or not such Transfer required Lender's consent, if the Property
or any part thereof or if any interest therein or if any direct or
indirect ownership interests in Borrower is transferred, Borrower will
provide Lender with a copy of the deed or other instrument of Transfer
to the transferee. Borrower will promptly after request therefor
provide Lender with such other information and documentation with
respect to such Transfer as Lender reasonably requests, including,
without limitation, information as to ownership of such transferee.
5.1.3 Upon the occurrence of any Transfer, the provisions of
this Section 5.1 shall continue to apply to the transferee as if it
were the transferor hereunder and any consent by Lender permitting a
transaction otherwise prohibited under this Section 5.1 or any right of
Borrower or any other Person to Transfer without such consent, shall
not constitute a consent to or waiver of any right, remedy or power of
Lender to withhold its consent on a subsequent occasion to a
transaction not otherwise permitted by the provisions of this Section
5.1. Notwithstanding the giving of any consent hereunder by Lender,
Borrower shall not engage in any Prohibited Transaction.
5.1.4 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.1.1 above,
Obsolete Collateral (as such term is defined in the Mortgage) may be
sold or otherwise disposed of, provided, that either (x) such Obsolete
Collateral has been or is contemporaneously being replaced by
Collateral (as such term is defined in the Mortgage) of at least equal
value and utility which is subject to the lien of the Mortgage with the
same priority as with respect to the Obsolete Collateral or (y) such
Obsolete Collateral may be removed without adversely affecting the
maintenance, safety and operations at the Property, and upon the sale
of such Obsolete Collateral any net cash proceeds received from such
disposition are deposited as ordinary Receipts in the Cash Collateral
Account and applied as provided in the Cash Management Agreement.
Section 5.2 Liens. Borrower shall not create, suffer or permit to exist
any Lien on, of or against, or otherwise affecting, all or any portion of the
Property (including, without limitation, fixtures and other personal property),
or any other property of Borrower (whether tangible or intangible and now owned
or hereafter acquired) in favor of any Person other than Lender, without the
prior written consent of Lender, other than the Permitted Encumbrances.
Section 5.3 Indebtedness.
5.3.1 Borrower shall not create, incur or assume any
indebtedness for borrowed money or otherwise evidenced by a note or
notes, whether secured or unsecured except for the Loan. Borrower shall
not create, incur or assume any other indebtedness, if doing so would
cause Borrower to be in violation of Section 9.1(h) hereof, or any
other provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
applicable thereto.
5.3.2 Notwithstanding that any indebtedness incurred with
respect to the Property is otherwise permitted hereunder, Borrower
shall (subject to the terms of the next sentence) pay any portion of
such indebtedness which becomes due and payable within sixty (60) days
following the date on which each such amount is due and payable.
Nothing contained in this Section 5.3 shall be deemed to require
Borrower to pay any amount, so long as Borrower is in good faith, and
by proper legal proceedings, diligently contesting the validity, amount
or application thereof, provided that in each case, at the time of the
commencement of any such action or proceeding, and during the pendency
of such action or proceeding (i) adequate reserves with respect thereto
are maintained on the books of the Borrower in accordance with GAAP (as
determined by the Approved Accountant), (ii) such contest operates to
suspend collection or enforcement, as the case may be, of the contested
amount and such contest is maintained and prosecuted continuously and
with diligence and (iii) Borrower shall deliver to Lender cash in an
amount equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the amounts
being contested which exceed One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars
($100,000.00) in the aggregate and any additional interest, charge or
penalty arising from such contest. Any cash delivered shall constitute
additional security for the Loan. Any such cash shall be held and
invested in the same manner and subject to the same general terms as
amounts deposited in the Cash Collateral Account under the Cash
Management Agreement and, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
Lender may apply such monies in the same manner as other monies held in
the Cash Collateral Account. Borrower shall execute such instruments as
Lender shall require to evidence Lender's perfected first priority
security interest therein and to effectuate the provisions hereof. If
prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall provide
evidence satisfactory to Lender, in its reasonable judgment, that
Borrower has paid the disputed amount, or otherwise settled the same
and paid any amount to be paid under such settlement, or that Borrower
has received a final unappealable judgment in its favor that it need
not pay any disputed amount, together with an Officer's Certificate
confirming the foregoing, then Lender shall return any cash deposited
with Lender with respect to such disputed amount. If Borrower ceases to
pursue continuously and with due diligence any contest described above,
or fails to provide Lender with evidence satisfactory to Lender that it
is doing so within ten (10) days after Lender's request, or if there
shall be a final judgment against Borrower with respect thereto, then
Lender may apply all or any portion of the cash to pay such disputed
amount and Lender shall have no liability to Borrower for any
determination made by Lender, in good faith, that it is entitled to do
so or as to the amount to then be paid with respect to such disputed
amount, whether or not that determination is found to be accurate.

ARTICLE VII. GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 7.1 Rights Cumulative; Waivers.
7.1.1. Each right, power and remedy conferred upon Lender
herein or in any of the other Loan Documents is cumulative and in
addition to every other right, power or remedy, express or implied, now
or hereafter provided by law or in equity, and each and every right,
power and remedy herein set forth or otherwise so existing may be
exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to time as often
and in such order as may be deemed expedient to Lender. The exercise of
one right, power or remedy shall not be a waiver of the right to
exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or
remedy; and no delay or omission of Lender in the exercise of any
right, power or remedy accruing hereunder or arising otherwise shall
impair any such right, power or remedy, or be construed to be a waiver
of any default or acquiescence therein. Enumeration of special rights
or powers herein, in the Mortgage or in the other Loan Documents shall
not be construed to limit any grant of general rights or powers herein,
in the Mortgage or in the other Loan Documents or limit Lender's
exercise of any and all rights granted under the laws of the State of
New York or the United States of America. No act of Lender shall be
construed as an election to proceed under any provision herein or in
any other Loan Document to the exclusion of any other provision herein.
Except as otherwise specifically required herein, notice of the
exercise of any right, remedy or power granted to Lender by this
Agreement or any other Loan Document is not required to be given.
Lender shall be entitled to enforce payment of the Loan and any other
amount payable under the Loan Documents and performance of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise all rights and
remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or otherwise
at law or in equity, notwithstanding that some or all of the
indebtedness secured thereby may now or hereafter be otherwise secured,
whether by mortgage, security agreement, pledge, lien, assignment or
otherwise. Neither the acceptance of this Agreement nor its
enforcement, shall prejudice or in any manner affect Lender's right to
realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by
Lender, it being agreed that Lender shall be entitled to enforce this
Agreement, the Mortgage, and any other security now or hereafter held
by Lender hereunder, under any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise
in such order and manner as Lender may determine in its absolute
discretion.
7.1.2. Lender may, by written notice to Borrower, at any time
and from time to time, waive in whole or in part and absolutely or
conditionally any default or Event of Default hereunder. Any such
waiver shall be subject to such conditions or limitations as shall be
specified in any such notice. In the case of any such waiver, the
rights of Borrower shall be otherwise unaffected, and any default or
Event of Default so waived shall be deemed to be cured and not
continuing only to the extent and only on the conditions or limitations
set forth in such waiver, but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other default or Event of Default, or impair any right,
remedy or power consequent thereupon.
Section 7.2 Lender's Action for its Own Protection Only. The authority
herein conferred upon Lender, and any action taken by Lender, to inspect the
Property, to review and/or approve all documents and instruments submitted to
Lender, or otherwise, will be exercised and taken by Lender and by Lender's
employees, agents, consultants and representatives for their own protection only
and may not be relied upon by Borrower or any other party for any purposes
whatever; and neither Lender nor Lender's employees, agents, consultants and
representatives shall be deemed to have assumed any responsibility to Borrower
or any other party with respect to any such action herein or under any of the
other Loan Documents authorized to be taken by Lender or Lender's employees,
agents and representatives. Any review, investigation or inspection conducted by
Lender, any architect, engineer or other consultant retained by Lender, or any
agent or representative of Lender in order to verify independently Borrower's
satisfaction of the covenants, agreements and obligations of Borrower under this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or the validity of any
representations and warranties made by Borrower (regardless of whether or not
the party conducting such review, investigation or inspection should have
discovered that any of such conditions precedent were not satisfied or that any
such covenants, agreements or obligations were not performed or that any such
representations or warranties were not true) shall not affect (or constitute,
except as may specifically be provided in this Agreement or in the other Loan
Documents to the contrary, a waiver by Lender of) (i) any representations and
warranties under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or Lender's reliance
thereon or (ii) Lender's reliance upon any certifications of Borrower or any
other party in connection with the Loan, or any other facts, information or
reports furnished to Lender by Borrower or any other party in connection with
the Loan. 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 Property, and 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.
Section 7.3 No Third Party Beneficiaries. All conditions to the
obligations of Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are imposed
solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and its participants, if any,
and assigns and no other Person (other than Servicer) shall have standing to
require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be
entitled to assume that Lender will advance proceeds of the Loan or agree or
consent to any matter in the absence of strict compliance with any or all
thereof, and no other Person shall, under any circumstances, be deemed to be the
beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in
whole or in part by Lender at any time if in its sole discretion it deems it
advisable to do so, it being further understood that Lender and its assigns or
participants, if any, shall have no obligation to see to it that the
Improvements or any other work required or contemplated hereby or by the other
Loan Documents are properly and/or timely completed.
Section 7.4 Payment of Expenses.
7.4.1. Borrower will, at and in connection with the closing of
the Loan and at all times thereafter, pay all reasonable and actual
costs and fees incurred by Lender in connection with the preparation,
negotiation, consummation, execution, administration, repayment,
collection and enforcement of the Loan, the Loan Documents and any
approval, consent, amendment, modification or waiver related thereto.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower will pay:

Lender's Consultant in connection with the foregoing;
(b) all taxes and recording fees and expenses,
including, without limitation, stamp and/or mortgage taxes and
transfer taxes, if any;

Lender, including all expenses of Lender and its respective

hereunder, under the Note, or under any other Loan Document or
the collection or enforcement thereof;
(d) subject to Section 5.17, all fees and expenses of
any environmental, engineering, appraisal, construction,
insurance or other consultants retained by Lender in
connection with the Loan or the administration, enforcement or
collection thereof; and
(e) all brokers' fees and commissions relative to the
Loan, the Property and any lease or purchase contract
affecting same except to the extent any such claims are made
solely as a result of any dealings between Lender and any
broker, finder or similar person claiming to be entitled to a
commission in connection with the Loan, and with whom Borrower
has had no dealings in connection with the Loan.
7.4.2. All reasonable and actual costs and expenses incurred
and payments made by Lender under this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents from time to time, which are to be paid or reimbursed by
Borrower as described herein or in any of the other Loan Documents
shall, as and when advanced or incurred by Lender, constitute
protective advances evidenced by the Note and secured by the Mortgage
and the other Loan Documents to the same extent and with the same
effect as if the terms and provisions of this Agreement were set forth
therein, whether or not the principal balance of the Note plus such
protective advances shall exceed the face amount of the Note. If
Borrower shall fail to reimburse or pay to Lender the amount of such
protective advances by the applicable due date therefor, interest at
the Default Rate shall accrue on such protective advances from the date
such protective advances were made by Lender to and including the date
that such protective advances are reimbursed or paid to Lender in full
together with all such accrued interest thereon.
Section 7.5 Indemnification.
7.5.1. In addition to any other indemnifications provided
herein or in the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall protect, defend,
indemnify and save harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against
all liabilities, obligations, claims, demands, damages, penalties,
causes of action, losses, fines, costs, expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) and
Environmental Costs, imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against
any Indemnified Party (other than by reason of such Indemnified Party's
gross negligence or willful misconduct, provided such gross negligence
or willful misconduct is determined to have occurred by a final and
unappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction) by reason
of (a) any funds deposited with Lender, (b) receipt and application of
any Receipts or an Indemnified Party's payment or non-payment of costs
and expenses of operating the Property following an Event of Default
which continues beyond any applicable grace or cure period; (c) any
accident, injury to or death of Persons or loss of or damage to
property occurring on or about the Property or any part thereof or on
the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking
areas, streets or ways; (d) any design, construction, alteration,
operation, maintenance, use, nonuse or condition of the Property or any

adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (e) any failure on the part of
Borrower to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document; (f) performance of any labor or services or
the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the
Property or any part thereof; (g) any failure of the Property to comply
with any Requirements; (h) the presence in, at or under the Property of
any Hazardous Substance, or any release or discharge on or from the
Property of any Hazardous Substance; (i) any representation or warranty
made in the Note, the Mortgage, this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents being false or misleading in any material respect as of the
date such representation or warranty was made; (j) except to the extent
any such claims are made solely as a result of any dealings between
Lender and any broker, finder or similar person claiming to be entitled
to a commission in connection with the Loan, and with whom Borrower has
had no dealings with in connection with the Loan, any claim by brokers,
finders or similar Persons claiming to be entitled to a commission in
connection with any Lease or other action involving the Property or any
part thereof; or (k) the claims of any lessee of any portion of the
Property or any person acting through or out of any lessee or otherwise
arising out of or as a consequence of any Lease. Any amounts payable to
any Indemnified Party by reason of the application of this Section 7.5
shall become immediately due and payable and shall bear interest at the
Default Rate from the date any Indemnified Party advances any funds to
pay any such loss or damage until paid. The obligations and liabilities
of Borrower under this Section 7.5 shall survive any termination,
satisfaction, or assignment of this Agreement and the exercise by
Lender of any of its rights or remedies hereunder, including, but not
limited to, the acquisition of the Property by foreclosure or a
conveyance in lieu of foreclosure.
7.5.2 In case any claim, action or proceeding (a "Claim") is
brought against any Indemnified Parties in respect of which
indemnification may be sought by such Indemnified Parties pursuant to
Section 7.5.1, such Indemnified Parties shall give notice thereof to
Borrower, provided, however, that the failure of such Indemnified
Parties to so notify Borrower shall not limit or affect such
Indemnified Parties' rights to be indemnified pursuant to Section
7.5.1, except to the extent such failure shall materially and adversely
prejudice Borrower's defense of such Claim. Upon receipt of such notice
of Claim, Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, diligently
defend any such Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
Indemnified Parties (it being understood that counsel selected by
Borrower's insurance carrier shall be deemed to be acceptable to such
Indemnified Parties provided such insurer is an acceptable insurer
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or otherwise was
accepted by Lender as an insurer), which counsel may, without limiting
the rights of Indemnified Parties pursuant to the next succeeding
sentence of this Section 7.5.2, also represent Borrower in such Claim.
In the alternative, Indemnified Parties may elect to conduct their own
defense through counsel of their own choosing, and at the expense of
Borrower, if (A) such Indemnified Parties reasonably determine that the
conduct of its defense by Borrower presents a conflict or potential
conflict between Borrower and Lender that would make separate
representation advisable or otherwise could be prejudicial to its
interests, (B) Borrower refuses to defend or (C) Borrower (or, if
applicable, its insurance carrier) shall have failed, in Lender's
reasonable judgment, to diligently defend the Claim. Except as provided
in the preceding sentence, Borrower shall not be responsible for the
fees of counsel for any Indemnified Parties incurred in connection with
the indemnification contained in Section 7.5.1. Borrower may settle any
Claim against Indemnified Parties without such Indemnified Parties'
consent, provided (i) such settlement is without any liability, cost or
expense whatsoever to such Indemnified Parties, (ii) the settlement
does not include or require any admission of liability or culpability
by such Indemnified Parties under any Requirement, whether criminal or
civil in nature, and (iii) Borrower obtains an effective written
release of liability for such Indemnified Parties from the party to the
Claim with whom such settlement is being made, which release must be
reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Parties, and a dismissal with
prejudice with respect to all claims made by the party with whom such
settlement is being made, with respect to any pending legal action
against such Indemnified Parties in connection with such Claim. If
Indemnified Parties are conducting their own defense as provided above,
Borrower shall be responsible for any good faith settlement of such
Claim entered into by such Indemnified Parties upon Borrower's consent.
Nothing contained herein shall be construed as requiring any
Indemnified Parties to expend funds or incur costs to defend any Claim
in connection with the matters for which such Indemnified Parties are
entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.5.1.
Section 7.6 Notices. Any notice, report, demand or other instrument
authorized or required to be given or furnished ("Notices") shall be in writing

United States mail as first class certified mail, return receipt requested,

Lender may also be given by the Servicer.

in writing executed by Lender and Borrower and that none of the rights or
benefits of Lender can be waived permanently except in a written document
executed by Lender. Borrower further acknowledges Borrower's understanding that
no officer or administrator of Lender has the power or the authority from Lender
to make an oral extension or modification or amendment of any such instrument or
agreement on behalf of Lender.

shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Lender) and, upon
such assignment to any such Assignee, be released from its rights and
obligations as Lender in respect of such portion of the Loan, this

released from the obligation to make Subsequent Advances hereunder, nor
shall such obligation be reduced or diminished, prior to the Outside
Funding Date.
7.8.2 Participations. Lender and each of the other Assignees
may sell participations in the Loan to one or more Persons

the selling party shall remain solely responsible to Borrower for the
performance of such obligations. In order to assist Lender in any sales
of interests in the Loan, Borrower agrees for itself and agrees to
cause the SPE Entity, each Guarantor and the Manager to reasonably
cooperate with Lender in connection with any efforts by Lender to

instruments or agreements, in each case, as Lender or any Assignee or
Participant may reasonably require.
7.8.3 Assignment and Acceptance. From and after the effective
date of any assignment to an Assignee (i) the Assignee shall be a party
hereto and to each of the other Loan Documents to the extent of the
applicable percentage or percentages assigned to such Assignee and,

obligations of Lender hereunder in respect of such applicable
percentage or percentages, and (ii) Lender shall relinquish its rights
and be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Loan
Documents accruing after the date of such assignment to the extent of
such applicable percentage or percentages. The liabilities of Lender
and each of the other Assignees shall be separate and not joint and
several. Neither Lender nor any Assignee shall be responsible for the
obligations of any other Assignee. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Lender shall not be released from the obligation to make Subsequent
Advances hereunder, nor shall such obligation be reduced or diminished,
prior to the Outside Funding Date.

Participant and their respective Affiliates may accept deposits from,
lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage
in any kind of business with, Borrower, any Affiliate of Borrower, any

own interests in or securities of Borrower or any such Affiliate or
subsidiary, without any duty to account therefor to each other.

Section 7.16 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence as to
Borrower's obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 7.17 Consents.
7.17.1. Any consent or approval by Lender in any single
instance shall not be deemed or construed to be Lender's consent or
approval in any like matter arising at a subsequent date. Any consent
or approval requested of and granted by Lender pursuant hereto or any
of the other Loan Documents shall be narrowly construed to be
applicable only to Borrower and the matter identified in such consent
or approval and no third party shall claim any benefit by reason
thereof. Wherever this Agreement, the Mortgage, the Cash Management
Agreement or any other Loan Document refers to the consent or approval
of Lender, or provides that any document or Person will be satisfactory
or acceptable to Lender or words of similar import, (x) such consent or
approval may be given or withheld by Lender, and such document or
Person must be satisfactory or acceptable to Lender, in its sole and
absolute discretion, unless otherwise expressly provided herein or
therein and (y) such consent or approval shall not be effective unless
given in writing. Wherever this Agreement, the Mortgage, the Cash
Management Agreement or any other Loan Document refers to the provision
of documents or other items being as Lender may require, provides for
the selection by Lender of any Person to provide reports or other items
hereunder or thereunder or selection by Lender of any means of
determining any matter or otherwise refers to terms and conditions
hereof being as Lender deems appropriate, any such requirement,
selection or determination of appropriateness shall be made by Lender
in its sole and absolute discretion, unless expressly provided
otherwise herein or therein. The foregoing provisions are intended to
be effective whether or not the applicable provision hereof or of any
other Loan Document specifies that the applicable consent, approval or
other matter is to be determined by Lender in its "sole and absolute
discretion" or words of similar import.
7.17.2. Wherever in this Agreement, the Mortgage, the Cash
Management Agreement or any other Loan Document, reference is made to
any consent or approval not being "unreasonably withheld" or words of
similar import, the same shall be deemed to include within its meaning
(unless expressly provided otherwise) that if such consent or approval
is to be granted, the same will occur within a commercially reasonable
period of time. If Borrower believes that Lender has improperly failed
to grant its consent or approval (or otherwise improperly failed to act
as requested by Borrower as described in Section 7.17.1 (e.g.,
determined that a document is not acceptable to Lender) hereunder or
under the Mortgage, the Cash Management Agreement or any other Loan
Document (including, without limitation, by failing to respond within a
commercially reasonable period of time) where such consent or approval
is required to be given by (or such action which was not taken is in
breach of) the terms of this Agreement or such other Loan Document,
Borrower's sole remedy shall be to obtain declaratory relief in a
final, non-appealable judgment determining such withholding to have
been improper, whereupon such consent or approval shall be deemed given
(or such other action described in Section 7.17.1 shall be deemed
taken), and Borrower hereby waives all claims for damages or set-off
resulting from any withholding of consent or approval (or failure to
take any other action described in Section 7.17.1) by Lender.
Section 7.18 No Partnership. Nothing contained in this Agreement, or
the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to create an equity investment on the
part of Lender, or a joint venture or partnership between Lender and Borrower,
it being the intent of the parties hereto that only the relationship of lender
and borrower shall exist with respect to the Property. Borrower agrees that it
shall report this transaction for income tax purposes, and file all related tax
returns, in a manner consistent with the form of this transaction as a loan.
SECTION 7.19 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY
KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO
A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED ON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER,
OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT, THE MORTGAGE, THE CASH MANAGEMENT
AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF
DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTIONS OF BORROWER, ANY OTHER
SIGNIFICANT PARTY, THE GUARANTORS OR LENDER RELATING TO THE LOAN, AND THE
LENDING RELATIONSHIP WHICH IS THE SUBJECT OF THIS AGREEMENT. THIS PROVISION IS A
MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR LENDER MAKING THE LOAN AND ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT
AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.
Section 7.20 Limited Recourse. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, except as
provided otherwise in this Section, neither Borrower nor any direct or indirect
member, shareholder, partner, principal, any Affiliate of Borrower, any SPE
Entity or any Significant Party, employee, officer, director, agent or
representative or Affiliate of any of them (each, a "Related Party") shall have
any personal liability for (a) the payment of any sum of money which is or may
be payable hereunder or under the Note, or any other Loan Document, including,
but not limited to, the repayment of the Indebtedness, or (b) the performance or
discharge of any covenants, obligations or undertakings of Borrower hereunder or
under any other Loan Document and no monetary or deficiency judgment shall be
sought or enforced against Borrower or any Related Party with respect thereto;
provided, however, that a judgment may be sought against Borrower to enforce the
rights of Lender in, to, or against the Property, including the Receipts, and
all other collateral granted as security under any Loan Document and Lender
shall have full recourse to and the right to proceed against the Property and
such other collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein
shall (i) impair the validity of the Indebtedness or in any way affect or impair
the Lien of the Mortgage, or the right of Lender to enforce any and all rights
and remedies under and by virtue of the Note, this Agreement, or any other Loan
Document (limited, however, as expressly provided otherwise above), including,
without limitation, naming Borrower as a party defendant in any foreclosure
action, or (ii) limit Lender from pursuing or seeking to enforce the rights of
Lender against any third parties, including any guarantor, indemnitor or surety
under any guaranty or indemnity delivered in connection with this Agreement, the
Note, or otherwise in connection with the Loan. Additionally, the provisions of
this Section 7.20 shall not relieve Borrower from any personal liability for,
and Borrower (as well as the Guarantors, to the extent provided in the Guaranty)
shall be fully and personally liable for, any liabilities, costs, losses
(including, without limitation, any reduction in value of the Property, or any
other collateral securing the Loan, or the loss of any such collateral or
Lender's security interest therein), damages, expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, and court costs, if
any), or claims suffered or incurred by Lender (or any Indemnified Party) by
reason of or in connection with the following:
(a) fraud or misrepresentation by Borrower, any Related Party
or any Guarantor in connection with the Loan;
(b) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Borrower;
(c) physical waste of the Property;
(d) the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or
indemnification provision in the Environmental Indemnification

(f) the misapplication or conversion by Borrower of (i) any
insurance proceeds paid by reason of any loss, damage or destruction to
the Property, (ii) any awards or other amounts received in connection
with the condemnation of all or a portion of the Property, (iii) any
Receipts or (iv) any monies held in or paid out from any account
(including any reserve or escrow) maintained under this Agreement, the
Cash Management Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;
(g) failure of Borrower to pay charges for labor or materials
or taxes or other charges that can create liens on any portion of the
Property to the extent funds are available from the operation of the
Property;
(h) failure of Borrower to deliver to Lender any security
deposits collected with respect to the Property upon a foreclosure of
the Property or action in lieu thereof, except to the extent any such
security deposits were applied in accordance with the terms and
conditions of any of the Leases prior to the occurrence of the Event of
Default that gave rise to such foreclosure or action in lieu thereof;
(i) any damage or destruction of the Property or any part
thereof due to fire or other casualty to the extent not covered by
insurance required hereby but only to the extent the same would have
been covered by insurance if Borrower had obtained and maintained the
insurance coverage required under this Agreement, and
(j) the cost of enforcement of any of Lender's rights or
remedies hereunder or under any Guaranty or any of the other Loan
Documents or costs incurred in any bankruptcy or similar proceeding
which may be brought by or against Borrower.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents
(i) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have
under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Indebtedness secured
by the Mortgage or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all
of the Indebtedness owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents, and
(ii) the Indebtedness shall become fully recourse to Borrower in the event that:
(A) the first full monthly payment of principal and interest under the Note is
not paid when due; (B) Borrower violates the provisions of Article 9 of this
Agreement or fails to maintain its status as a single purpose entity in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; (C) any violation of Sections
5.2 or 5.3 of this Agreement or failure to obtain the prior written consent of
Lender to any subordinate financing or other voluntary lien encumbering all or
any portion of the Property as required by this Agreement; (D) any violation of
Sections 5.1 or 5.7 of this Agreement or failure to obtain the prior written
consent of Lender to any assignment, transfer, or conveyance of all or any
portion of the Property or any interest therein as required by this Agreement;
(E) all or any material portion of the Property shall be forfeited by reason of
criminal activity by Borrower or a Related Party; (F) a receiver, liquidator or
trustee of Borrower or a Guarantor shall be appointed or if Borrower or a
Guarantor shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or if any petition for
federal bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement pursuant to federal bankruptcy
law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by, consented to, or
acquiesced in by, any Borrower or a Guarantor or if any proceeding for the
dissolution or liquidation of Borrower or the Guarantor shall be instituted by
Borrower or Guarantor or any Related Party or (G) following an Event of Default,
Borrower, Guarantor or any Related Party delays, hinders or interferes in any
material respect with Lender's pursuit of any of its rights or remedies under
the Note, this Loan Agreement, the Mortgage or any of the Loan Documents.
Section 7.21 Limitation on Liability. In no event shall Lender be
liable to Borrower for consequential damages, whatever the nature of a breach by
Lender of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents and Borrower for itself and all Related Parties hereby waives all
claims for consequential damages.
Section 7.22 Jurisdiction, Venue, Service of Process. ANY LEGAL ACTION
OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN XXX XXXXXX XX XXX
XXXXX XX XXX XXXX, XXX XXXX XXXXXX OR OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK IN WHICH THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED. BORROWER HEREBY
ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY, THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS.
BORROWER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF THE
AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES
THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO BORROWER AT ITS

hereby designates the Secretary of State of the State in which Borrower was
organized as its agent to accept service of process in any action or proceeding
arising under or in connection with this Agreement, the Mortgage, and the other
Loan Documents.
Section 7.24 Rule of Construction. This Agreement and the other Loan
Documents shall not be construed more strictly against one party than against
the other, merely by virtue of the fact that it may have been prepared by
counsel for one of the parties, it being recognized that both Lender and
Borrower have contributed substantially and materially to the preparation of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 7.25 Further Assurances.
7.25.1 Borrower will, at its sole cost and expense, do,
execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be done, executed,
acknowledged and delivered all such further acts, conveyances, notes,
mortgages, assignments, security agreements, financing statements and
assurances as Lender shall from time to time require or deem advisable
(v) to carry into effect the purposes of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, (w) for the better assuring, conveying, mortgaging,
assigning and confirming unto Lender of all property and rights
mortgaged, granted, bargained, alienated, confirmed, pledged,
hypothecated, conveyed or assigned by this Agreement, or any of the
other Loan Documents or property intended now or hereafter to be, or
which Borrower may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign
to Lender, (x) for facilitating the placement of a Loan Interest in a
Loan Pool as described in Section 7.26 below, (y) for the perfection of
any such lien or security interest granted herein or in the other Loan
Documents and (z) for the better assuring and confirming of all of
Lender's rights, powers and remedies hereunder. Borrower, on demand,
will execute and deliver and hereby authorizes Lender to execute in the
name of Borrower or without the signature of Borrower to the extent
Lender may lawfully do so, one or more financing statements, chattel
mortgages or other instruments, to evidence more effectively the
security interest of Lender in the Property and the other collateral
under the Loan Documents.
7.25.2 Borrower forthwith upon the execution and delivery of
this Agreement and thereafter, from time to time, will cause the
Mortgage and any security instrument creating a Lien or security
interest or evidencing the Lien of the Mortgage and the other
applicable Loan Documents upon the Property or other property and each
instrument of further assurance to be filed, registered or recorded in
such manner and in such places as may be required by any present or
future Legal Requirement in order to publish notice of and fully to
protect the Lien or security interest of, and the priority of, the
Mortgage and the other Loan Documents upon, and the interest of Lender
in, the Property or other applicable property. Borrower will pay all
filing, registration or recording fees, and all expenses incident to
the foregoing and all taxes, duties, assessments and charges of any
Governmental Authority arising out of or in connection with the
execution and delivery of the Mortgage, any other security instrument,
any instrument of further assurance or any other Loan Document. Upon
Lender's request, Borrower shall, from time to time, furnish Lender
with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that such property is
free of Liens and security interests (except as permitted hereunder),
including searches of applicable public records.
7.25.3 Upon any failure by Borrower to do so, Lender may make,
execute, record, file, re-record or refile any and all such mortgages,
instruments, certificates and documents for and in the name of
Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints (which appointment
is coupled with an interest and with full power of substitution) Lender
the agent and attorney-in-fact of Borrower to do so; and Borrower shall
reimburse Lender, on demand, for all costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Lender in connection therewith.
Upon foreclosure, the appointment of a receiver or any other relevant
action, Borrower will, at Borrower's sole cost and expense, cooperate
fully and completely to effect the assignment or transfer of any
Permit, agreement or any other right necessary or useful to the
operation of the Property and shall deliver to Lender all books and
records relating to the Property.
Section 7.26 Placement of Loan.
7.26.1 Borrower acknowledges that Lender, any Assignee or any
Participant (each of Lender, such Assignee or Participant is called a
"Placement Party") may elect to place the Loan, or its participation
interest, as the case may be (whichever of the Loan or such
participation is to be so placed is called the "Loan Interest") in a
pool of loans, participation interests and/or notes secured by or
dependent on the cash flow of mortgage loans, which will constitute
security for a rated securities offering (such pool is called a "Loan
Pool"; such rated securities being the "Securities" and such offering
being a "Securitization").
7.26.2 At the request of Lender, Borrower will use
commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy the market standards to
which Lender customarily adheres or which may be required in the
marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in order to enable a Placement
Party to place a Loan Interest in a Loan Pool, including, without
limitation, to:
(a) structure and maintain its organizational,
operational and financial affairs and those of its Affiliates
(collectively, the "Entities") as special-purpose
bankruptcy-remote entities to enable its counsel to render a
reasoned opinion customarily given in securitization
transactions that upon a petition for bankruptcy under the
bankruptcy code, none of the Entities as a debtor in
possession nor its bankruptcy trustee or creditors could cause
a court to order the substantive consolidation of the assets
and liabilities of any such entities with those of the
Borrower or the SPE Entity, which counsel shall be reasonably
satisfactory to, and which opinions or memoranda shall be
satisfactory to, Lender and the Rating Agencies;
(b) provide such financial and other information with
respect to the Property, the Manager and the Entities as may
be reasonably requested by Lender or the Rating Agencies or
annual rating reviews for the Property prepared by a firm of
certified public accountants reasonably acceptable to Lender
and the Rating Agencies (Lender acknowledges that the Approved
Accountant is an accounting firm acceptable to Lender);
(c) prepare and deliver such agreements and
instruments relating to the Note, the Loan Interest, the
Property and the Entities, including (A) agreements to
indemnify the Rating Agencies, Lender and any servicer or
trustee (except to the extent that any requested
indemnification for any loss, claim, damage, cost, expense or
liability results solely from the negligent or willful, or
with respect to Lender, grossly negligent or willful, acts or
omissions by such indemnified party in performing the duties,
functions and activities undertaken by it in connection with
the placement of the Loan Interest in a Loan Pool, including,
without limitation, any failure by such indemnified party or
parties to comply with all applicable securities laws and
regulations) and (B) amendments of any of the Loan Documents
that are necessary to effect the placement of the Loan
Interest in a Loan Pool, as may be reasonably requested by,
and in form and scope reasonably satisfactory to, Lender and
the Rating Agencies; provided, however, that such amendments
shall not without the consent of the Borrower affect the terms
and conditions of the Note, or any other material business
term of, or material obligation of the Borrower under, the
Loan Documents;
(d) cause to be performed such site inspections,
appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews and reports
(Phase I assessments and, where appropriate, Phase II),
Engineer's Reports and other due diligence investigations of
the Property customarily and reasonably requested by Lender or
the Rating Agencies in connection with the placement of the
Loan Interest in a Loan Pool and the rating of any securities
issues in connection therewith;
(e) provide business plans, budgets and title
insurance (including surveys) relating to the Property as may
be reasonably requested by Lender or the Rating Agencies;
(f) cause counsel to render opinions as to "true
sale" and bankruptcy remoteness and other matters customary in
securitization transactions with respect to the Property, the
Entities, the Loan Interest and the Loan Documents, which
counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to, and which opinion
shall be satisfactory to, Lender and the Rating Agencies;
provided, that Borrower shall not be responsible for providing
a "true sale" opinion that relates solely to the sale by
Lender of the Loan or a Loan Interest into a Loan Pool; and
(g) make the representations and warranties contained
in the Loan Documents as of the date of the closing of the
transfer of the Loan Interest to the extent such
representations and warranties may be truthfully made and make
such other representations with respect to the Property, the
Entities, the Loan Interest and the Loan Documents as are
customarily provided in securitization transactions and as may
be reasonably requested by Lender or the Rating Agencies in
connection with such closing to the extent such
representations and warranties may be truthfully made.
7.26.3 At Lender's request, Borrower shall cooperate with
Lender's preparation of a private placement memorandum or registration
statement and amendments and supplements thereto (the "Disclosure
Document") to privately place or publicly distribute the Note or the
Loan Interest or securities issued in connection therewith in a manner
that satisfies the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), the Securities and Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and applicable state
Requirements. At the time of Lender's preparation of such Disclosure
Document, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender and any
underwriter or placement agent an instrument (a "Securitization
Indemnification") (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Lender) (i) certifying as to the veracity in all material respects of
all written information that it supplied and was incorporated in such
Disclosure Document and (ii) indemnifying and holding each of them and
any Person who controls any of them within the meaning of Section 15 of
the Securities Act or Section 70 of the Exchange Act (each, an
"Securitization Indemnified Party") harmless against all costs,
expenses and damages incurred by any Securitization Indemnified Party
as a result of any untrue statement of a material fact made or supplied
by Borrower as contained in such Disclosure Document or the failure by
Borrower (after receipt of a draft of the Disclosure Statement) to
specify for inclusion in the Disclosure Document any material fact
regarding Borrower (or any member or partner thereof), the Property or
the Loan necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but only
to the extent that such statement of material fact is made in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information Borrower furnished for
use therein or the omission of such a material fact is based upon
Borrower's failure to specify such material fact or upon Borrower's
furnishing inaccurate information that shows that such material fact is
not material. If Lender (or a placement agent or underwriter acting on
behalf of Lender) shall deliver a draft of the Disclosure Document to
Borrower for its review, Borrower shall provide Lender (or the
placement agent or underwriter acting on behalf of Lender) with its
comments, if any, on such Disclosure Document as soon as practicable,
but in all events within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof, in
the case of the first draft of such Disclosure Document, and within
five (5) Business Days after receipt of any subsequent draft of such
Disclosure Document. If in connection with such review, Borrower
advises Lender of the existence of a fact regarding Borrower (or any
member or partner thereof), the Property or the Loan and advises Lender
that it deems such fact material, Lender shall include such fact in the
Disclosure Document or shall waive the rights of the Indemnified
Parties with respect to such fact. Upon receipt of the Securitization
Indemnification, Lender shall execute and deliver to Borrower an
instrument (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Borrower)
indemnifying and holding Borrower harmless against all costs, expenses
and damages incurred by it as a result of the preparation or
distribution of, and any untrue statement of a material fact contained
in, such Disclosure Document or the failure to include therein any
material fact in order to make the statements made therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided,
however, that such indemnification shall not apply if any such costs,
expenses or damages arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement
of a material fact or an omission to state a material fact in such
Disclosure Document made in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished by Borrower expressly for use therein or
(after receipt of a draft of the Disclosure Statement) the omission of
a material fact concerning Borrower (or any member or partner thereof),
the Property, the Loan (other than the express terms of the Loan
Documents) necessary to make the statements in the Disclosure Statement
not misleading. Borrower shall notify Lender if, in Borrower's opinion,
it is necessary to amend or supplement such Disclosure Document at any
time in order that such Disclosure Document does not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Lender shall
prepare as soon as may be reasonably practicable an amendment or
supplement to such Disclosure Document correcting such statement or
omission. At the request of Lender, in connection with any sale of the
Note or any Loan Interest, Borrower shall confirm, as of the date of
such sale, that such Disclosure Document, as it may be so amended or
supplemented, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact
concerning Borrower, the Property or the Loan or omit to state a
material fact concerning Borrower, the Property or the Loan necessary
in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
7.26.4 It is expressly understood hereunder that in connection
with the placement of any Loan Interest in a Loan Pool, Lender intends
to transfer the Loan Interest to a trustee which shall hold such Loan
Interest for the benefit of the holders of the interests in the Loan
Pool. In connection therewith, Borrower shall execute and deliver or
cause to be executed and delivered, all such additional instruments,
and do, or cause to be done, all such additional acts as (i) may be
reasonably necessary or proper to carry out such transfer, including,
without limitation, the delivery of such instruments and documents,
including assignments of mortgage (and similar documents), assignments
of Loan Documents, re-certifications of surveys with respect to the
Property, and the delivery of such Lender's title insurance
endorsements in favor of the trustee as may be reasonably required to
confirm and/or evidence the transfer to the trustee of the title
insurance issued to Lender in respect of the Property or, the Mortgage,
including payment of all fees, title insurance premiums and other
insurance premiums in connection therewith or (ii) Lender may
reasonably request.
7.26.5 Lender shall be permitted to share any information
provided by Borrower pursuant to this Section 7.26 in connection with
the placement of a Loan Interest in a Loan Pool with the investment
banking firms, Rating Agencies, accounting firms, law firms and other
third-party advisory firms involved with any transfer of the Loan, the
Loan Documents or the applicable Securitization. It is understood that
the information provided by Borrower to Lender may ultimately be
incorporated into the offering documents for the Securitization and
thus various investors may also see some or all of the information.
7.26.6 Borrower acknowledges that any transfer of the Loan or
the placement of the Loan Interest in a Loan Pool may occur at any time
during the term of this Agreement and the provisions of this Section
7.26 shall be applicable throughout the term of the Loan.
Section 7.27 Servicer. At the option of Lender, the Loan may be
serviced by a Servicer selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any
portion of its responsibilities under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan
Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement between Lender and
Servicer. Borrower shall pay (a) any set-up fees or other initial costs relating
to or arising under such servicing agreement, (b) a monthly servicing fee due to
the Servicer in an amount not to exceed 0.2% per annum of the outstanding
principal balance of the Loan and (c) the fees of the Servicer in accordance
with the customary fees then charged by the Servicer for services requested by
Borrower, as such fees are established from time to time. Any action taken by
such Servicer or other agent on behalf of Lender hereunder or under any other
Loan Document shall have the same force and effect as if taken by Lender.
ARTICLE VIII. SPECIAL PROVISIONS
Section 8.1 Deposits for Tax and Insurance Premiums. In order to assure
the payment of Taxes and premiums with respect to all insurance coverage
required pursuant to Paragraph 7 of the Mortgage (collectively, "Insurance
Premiums") as and when the same shall become due and payable, the following
provisions shall apply:
8.1.1 On the date hereof, Borrower shall deposit with Lender
the sum set forth on Exhibit K hereto as the Tax and Insurance Deposit
to be held in an account maintained at a bank designated by Lender and
pledged to Lender as additional collateral for the Loan, all as more
particularly described in the Cash Management Agreement, and referred
to therein as the "Tax and Insurance Impound Fund Account" (the "Tax
and Insurance Escrow Account"). Thereafter, on each Payment Date,
Borrower shall pay to Lender, in immediately available funds for
deposit into the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account an amount equal to
one-twelfth (1/12) of the Taxes and Insurance Premiums to become due
during the period commencing on the first day of the first month
following such Payment Date and ending twelve (12) months following
such first day. In all cases there must be paid hereunder to be
deposited and held in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account, an amount
sufficient to pay such Taxes and Insurance Premiums, one month prior to
the date when they are due and payable. The amounts of such deposits
with respect to Taxes and Insurance Premiums (herein collectively
called "Tax and Insurance Deposits") shall be based upon Lender's good
faith estimate as to the amount of Taxes and Insurance Premiums.
Borrower shall promptly, upon the demand of Lender, make additional Tax
and Insurance Deposits as Lender may from time to time reasonably
require due to (i) failure of Borrower to make Tax and Insurance
Deposits in previous months, (ii) underestimation of the amounts of
Taxes and/or Insurance Premiums, (iii) the particular due dates and
amounts of Taxes and/or Insurance Premiums, or (iv) application of the
Tax and Insurance Deposits pursuant to this Agreement. All Tax and
Insurance Deposits shall be held by Lender in the Tax and Insurance
Escrow Account and invested and applied as provided in the Cash
Management Agreement.
8.1.2 Provided no Event of Default has then occurred and is
continuing, Lender will, out of the funds in the Tax and Insurance
Escrow Account (provided such funds are sufficient for such purpose),
upon the presentation to Lender by Borrower of the bills therefor, pay
the Taxes and Insurance Premiums or will, upon the presentation of
official receipted bills therefor, reimburse Borrower for such payments
made by Borrower. If the total of all funds in the Tax and Insurance
Escrow Account shall not be sufficient to pay all of the Taxes and
Insurance Premiums when the same shall become due, then Borrower shall
pay to Lender on demand the amount necessary to make up the deficiency.
Lender shall be entitled, without request of Borrower, but, prior to an
Event of Default upon two (2) Business Days notice to Borrower, to
apply any funds in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account to the payment
of any Taxes (other than any Taxes which Borrower has notified Lender
that it is contesting and such contest is then permitted under the
Mortgage) and Insurance Premiums which have become due and have not yet
been paid. Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that Borrower
shall not be in default under the Mortgage for failure to pay Taxes or
Insurance Premiums, if such failure arises by reason of Lender's
failure to comply with its agreement contained in this Section 8.1.2.
8.1.3 Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, Lender may, at its option, without being required to
do so, apply any Tax and Insurance Deposits on hand to pay Taxes,
Insurance Premiums or to pay principal, interest and other amounts
payable to Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, all in
such order and manner as Lender, in its sole discretion, may elect.
When the principal and interest under the Note and all prepayment
premiums, if any, in connection therewith and all other Obligations
have been fully and properly paid, any remaining Tax and Insurance
Deposits shall be returned to Borrower.
8.1.4 Lender shall be absolutely entitled to rely on any
statements of any Governmental Authority with respect to Taxes and any
statement of Borrower's insurance carrier or its agent with respect to
Insurance Premiums.
8.1.5 Borrower and Lender acknowledge that Borrower shall not
be in default hereunder in its obligation to make the Tax and Insurance
Deposit on any Payment Date, to the extent funds are available to make
such deposit from monies deposited in the Cash Collateral Account
during the applicable Collection Period after applying such funds to
any item with a higher priority than such application to the Tax and
Insurance Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of the Cash
Management Agreement. Any transfer of funds from the Cash Collateral
Account to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account shall satisfy
Borrower's obligation hereunder to make the corresponding Tax and
Insurance Deposit, to the extent of the funds so transferred.
8.1.6 No provision of this Agreement, the Mortgage or any
other Loan Document shall be construed as creating in any party other
than Borrower and Lender (and the Servicer), any rights in and to the
Tax and Insurance Deposits or any rights to have the Tax and Insurance
Deposits applied to payment of Taxes and Insurance Premiums. Lender
shall have no obligation or duty to any third party to collect Tax and
Insurance Deposits.
Section 8.2 Replacement Reserve Fund.
8.2.1 For purposes hereof, the term "Replacement Revenue
Contribution" shall mean the lesser of (i) the sum set forth on Exhibit
K hereto as the Replacement Reserve Contribution per month and (ii) the
amount, if any, by which the balance in the Replacement Reverse Account
(as hereinafter defined) shall be less than the sum set forth on
Exhibit K hereto as the Replacement Reserve Cap.
8.2.2 Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date an
amount equal to the Replacement Reserve Contribution for deposit into
an account maintained at a bank designated by Lender and pledged to
Lender as additional collateral for the Loan, all as more particularly
described in the Cash Management Agreement, and referred to therein as
the "Replacement Escrow Fund Subaccount" (the "Replacement Reserve
Account").
8.2.3 Provided that no Event of Default shall exist hereunder
and be continuing, Lender shall disburse funds from the Replacement
Reserve Account to Borrower to pay the costs of Replacements (as
hereinafter defined) which, in the reasonable, good faith opinion of
Lender, are necessary or desirable for the Property. Such disbursements
shall be made within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of (i) a
request by Borrower describing the costs for which such disbursement is
requested and the amount sought, (ii) invoices, receipts and/or other
evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender evidencing that such costs
are payable and that the work to which such costs relate has been
completed, (iii) lien waivers or other evidence reasonably satisfactory
to Lender that all materialmen, laborers, subcontractors or other
parties who could claim any statutory or common law lien against the
Property in connection with such Replacement and who are being paid
from such disbursement have been (or will, upon such disbursement, be)
fully paid for all labor or materials furnished to date and have waived
any such lien, (iv) for disbursement requests relating to a Replacement
which shall cost in excess of $75,000 for the Property, the
certification of an architect or other third party reasonably
acceptable to Lender verifying that the portion of the Replacement for
which disbursement is sought has been completed in accordance with
plans approved by Lender, if any, and the cost thereof and (v) for
final disbursement requests relating to a Replacement which shall cost
in excess of $75,000 for the Property, a new certificate of occupancy
for the portion of the Improvements affected by such Replacement, if
such new certificate of occupancy is required, or a certification by
Borrower that no new certificate of occupancy is required. Lender may
retain ten percent (10%) of the amount of any disbursements requested
hereunder and shall disburse such retained amounts to Borrower in
accordance herewith upon completion of the Replacement to which such
retainage relates. Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements
from the Replacement Reserve Account more frequently than once in any
thirty (30) day period. In addition, Lender shall not be obligated to
disburse any funds from the Replacement Reserve Account for a
Replacement if, in the reasonable, good faith opinion of Lender, the
balance in the Replacement Reserve Account shall be insufficient to pay
for such Replacement.
8.2.4 If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
hereunder, Lender may apply all amounts on deposit in the Replacement
Reserve Account to the Indebtedness in such order, priority and
proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper.
8.2.5 For purposes hereof, "Replacement" shall mean repairs,
replacements and improvements to the Property in the ordinary course of
operating the Property which would, for federal income tax purposes, be
included in the cost of such Property, excluding the Required Work.
8.2.6 Nothing contained in this paragraph shall limit the
obligation of Borrower to perform any work or otherwise to repair and
maintain the Property in accordance with the Mortgage or any other Loan
Document or shall be deemed approval by Lender of any work otherwise
requiring the approval of Lender under the Mortgage or any other Loan
Document. The Replacement Reserve Account shall not constitute a trust
fund and may not be commingled with other monies held by Lender. Upon
assignment of the Note and the Mortgage by Lender in their entirety,
Lender's security interest in, and all other right, title and interest
of Lender in and to, the funds in the Replacement Reserve Account shall
be transferred and assigned to the assignee and Lender shall have no
further obligation with respect thereto.
Section 8.3 Interest Reserve.
8.3.1 On the date hereof, Borrower shall deposit with Lender
the sum set forth on Exhibit K hereto as the Interest Reserve to be
held in an account maintained at a bank designated by Lender and
pledged to Lender as additional collateral for the Loan (the "Interest
Reserve Account"). The Interest Reserve Account shall be an
interest-bearing account and all interest earned thereon shall become
part of the Interest Reserve Account for the benefit of Borrower.
8.3.2 Provided that no Event of Default shall then exist and
be continuing, if, on any Payment Date, the amount then on deposit in
the Monthly Debt Service Subaccount (as defined in the Cash Management
Agreement), minus the amount, if any, due under Section 8.7.3 hereof,
shall be less than the amount of interest then due under the Note,
Lender shall disburse the amount of such deficiency from the Interest
Reserve Account to pay such interest. Any such amounts so disbursed
shall be deemed paid by Borrower and Borrower shall not be deemed to
have failed to pay such interest for the purposes of Section 6.1.1 by
reason thereof.
8.3.3 If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
hereunder, Lender may apply all amounts on deposit in the Interest
Reserve Account to the Indebtedness in such order, priority and
proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper.
8.3.4 Nothing contained in this paragraph shall limit the
obligation of Borrower to pay interest or other amounts due under the
Note or any other Loan Document. The Interest Reserve Account shall not
constitute a trust fund and may not be commingled with other monies
held by Lender. Upon assignment of the Note and Mortgage by Lender in
their entirety, Lender's security interest in, and all other right,
title and interest of Lender in and to, the funds in the Interest
Reserve Account shall be transferred and assigned to the assignee and
Lender shall have no further obligation with respect thereto.
Section 8.4 Approved Budget.
8.4.1 The term "Approved Budget" shall mean, upon approval by
Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed, Borrower's proposed operating budget for the Property,
which sets forth the estimated Operating Expenses to be incurred in
connection with the Property for each month of the applicable calendar
year.
8.4.2 Borrower shall deliver to Lender not later than sixty
(60) days prior to the commencement of each calendar year a proposed
operating budget in form satisfactory to Lender setting forth in
reasonable detail budgeted monthly operating income and monthly
operating capital and other expenses for the Property. Lender shall
have the right to approve such budget, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
8.4.3 If Lender shall object to the proposed budget submitted
by Borrower, Lender shall advise Borrower of such objections within
fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof (and deliver to Borrower a
reasonably detailed description of such objections) and Borrower shall
within ten (10) days after receipt of notice of any such objections
revise such budget and resubmit the same to Lender. Lender shall advise
Borrower of any objections to such revised budget within ten (10) days
after receipt thereof (and deliver to Borrower a reasonably detailed
description of such objections) and Borrower shall revise the same in
accordance with the process described in this subparagraph until the
Lender approves a budget, provided, however, that if Lender shall not
advise Borrower of objections to a proposed budget within the time
period set forth in this paragraph, then such proposed budget shall be
deemed approved by Lender.
8.4.4 Borrower shall operate the Property in accordance with
the Approved Budget and shall not enter into any contracts or other
agreements nor expend any funds not provided for therein, other than
expenditures required to be made by reason of the occurrence of an
emergency (i.e., an unexpected event which threatens imminent harm to
persons or property at the Property) and with respect to which it would
be impracticable, under the circumstances, to obtain Lender's prior
consent thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall notify
Lender as promptly as practicable with respect to any such emergency
expenditures made.
8.4.5 In the event that there shall not be an Approved Budget
with respect to a calendar year prior to the commencement thereof, then
the most recent Approved Budget (subject to any increases required by
reason of increases in non-discretionary expenses such as real estate
taxes and utility costs) shall continue to be the Approved Budget.
Section 8.5 Working Capital Reserve.
8.5.1 On the date hereof, Borrower shall deposit with Lender
the sum set forth on Exhibit K hereto as the Working Capital Reserve to
be held in an account maintained at a bank designated by Lender and
pledged to Lender as additional collateral for the Loan (the "Working
Capital Reserve Account"). The Working Capital Reserve Account shall be
an interest-bearing account and all interest earned thereon shall
become part of the Working Capital Reserve Account for the benefit of
Borrower.
8.5.2 Provided that no Event of Default shall then exist and
be continuing, if, on any Payment Date, (a) the amount then on deposit
in the Tax and Insurance Impound Account (as defined in the Cash
Management Agreement) shall be less than the amount required to be
deposited in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account on such Payment Date
in accordance with Section 8.1 hereof, (b) the amount then on deposit
in the Replacement Escrow Fund Subaccount (as defined in the Cash
Management Agreement) shall be less than the amount required to be
deposited in the Replacement Reserve Account on such Payment Date in
accordance with Section 8.2 hereof, or (c) the amount then on deposit
in the Operating Expense Subaccount (as defined in the Cash Management
Agreement) shall be less than the Budgeted Expenses (as defined in the
Cash Management Agreement) for the month in which such Payment Date
shall occur, Lender shall disburse the amount of any such deficiency
from the Working Capital Reserve Account and deposit such amount on the
Payment Date to the account or accounts in which such deficiency shall
exist in the order set forth above.
8.5.3 In addition, provided that no Event of Default shall
exist hereunder and be continuing, Lender shall disburse funds from the
Working Capital Reserve Account to Borrower to pay the costs of
Operating Expenses incurred by Borrower in any period in excess of the
Budgeted Expenses for such period. Such disbursements shall be made
within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of (i) a request by
Borrower describing the Operating Expenses for which such disbursement
is requested and the amount sought, (ii) the Financial Statements
required hereunder for such period and (iii) invoices, receipts and/or
other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender evidencing that such
Operating Expenses are payable. Lender shall not be obligated to make
disbursements from the Working Capital Reserve Account under this
Section 8.5.3 more frequently than once in any calendar month thirty
(30) day period.
8.5.4 If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
hereunder, Lender may apply all amounts on deposit in the Working
Capital Reserve Account to the Indebtedness in such order, priority and
proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper.
8.5.5 Nothing contained in this paragraph shall limit the
obligation of Borrower to pay interest or other amounts due under the
Note or any other Loan Document. The Working Capital Reserve Account
shall not constitute a trust fund and may not be commingled with other
monies held by Lender. Upon assignment of the Note and Mortgage by
Lender in their entirety, Lender's security interest in, and all other
right, title and interest of Lender in and to, the funds in the Working
Capital Reserve Account shall be transferred and assigned to the
assignee and Lender shall have no further obligation with respect
thereto.
Section 8.6 Right of First Refusal to Provide Permanent Financing.
8.6.1 Offer. In the event that Borrower obtains a bona fide
commitment from a third party to provide Permanent Financing to be
secured by all or any portion of the Property, or such third party
provides a term sheet to Borrower containing all of the material terms
of such Permanent Financing, or Borrower otherwise desires to close any
such Permanent Financing (any of the foregoing being hereinafter
referred to as the "Offer"), then, Borrower shall deliver to Lender
written notice of Borrower's intent to close such Permanent Financing,
together with a copy of the commitment, term sheet or any other
documents and instruments setting forth the material terms of such
Permanent Financing or, if delivery of any such documents is prohibited
by the terms thereof, such other documentation as Lender shall deem
sufficient evidence of such Offer.
8.6.2 Notice from Lender. Lender shall have ten (10) days from
the date of receipt of all of the information required to be delivered
to Lender under Section 8.6.1 above (the "Offer Period"), to notify
Borrower in writing of Lender's interest in providing the Permanent
Financing on the same material terms and conditions as are set forth in
the Offer and which are no less favorable to Borrower than those
contained in the Offer. If Lender gives notice to Borrower during the
Offer Period that Lender does not desire to provide the Permanent
Financing, or if Lender fails to respond within the Offer Period,
Borrower shall have one hundred and twenty (120) days from the date of
receipt by Borrower of such notice from Lender or the expiration of the
Offer Period if Lender fails to respond, as the case may be (the
"Closing Period"), to close the Permanent Financing on the same
material terms as contained in the Offer.
8.6.3 Closing. If Lender notifies Borrower in writing during
the Offer Period that Lender is interested in providing the Permanent
Financing, Lender and Borrower shall have thirty (30) days (or such
longer period of time as is necessary under the circumstances Borrower
is acting in good faith) from the date of Borrower's receipt of such
written notice from Lender to agree upon the terms and conditions of
and close such transaction and the documentation thereof, which shall
be in all material respects the same as the terms and conditions of the
Offer, to the extent the same are specified in the Offer, except that
any loan documents to be executed in connection with such Permanent
Financing shall be substantially identical in all material respects to
the Loan Documents, except to the extent inconsistent with the terms of
the Offer.
8.6.4 Failure to Close. If Borrower fails to close the
Permanent Financing with the third party lender prior to the expiration
of the Closing Period, Borrower shall be required to make a new offer
to Lender in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.6 before
such Borrower accepts any Permanent Financing from any other party.
8.6.5 Compliance with Offer. Any Permanent Financing must be
consummated substantially in accordance with the terms and provisions
of the documents provided to Lender evidencing the Offer, or terms and
provisions which are more favorable to Borrower than such terms and
provisions provided to Lender, and in compliance with the requirements
of this Section 8.6. In the event that the terms are modified by such
third party prior to such closing to be less favorable to Borrower,
Borrower shall re-submit such revised terms to Lender for consideration
under Section 8.6.1.

or practice, be assigned a separate tax lot or
similar designation by the appropriate Governmental
Authority and no further action (other than filing of
such Subdivision Map in the Office of the Clerk of
the County in which the Property is located, if such
Subdivision Map has not been previously filed

commercially reasonable terms and conditions, together with
evidence that the purchaser under each such Bona Fide Contract
has deposited, on account thereof, and Borrower is holding in
escrow with respect thereto, not less than 10% of the sales
price thereunder, which amounts shall be applied by Borrower
to the purchase price upon the closing of such sale.
8.7.5 Lender shall have no obligation whatsoever to grant any
release which does not satisfy all of the terms and conditions
precedent thereto set forth in this Section 8.7; provided, however,
that Lender hereby reserves the right to release any Lot or without
notice to, or the consent, approval or agreement of other parties in
interest, including, but not limited to junior liens or, if any, and
such releases shall not impair in any manner the validity or the
priority of the Mortgage on any property remaining subject thereto, nor
release Borrower from the obligations and liabilities set forth therein

consent by Lender to the placing of any such junior liens or other
interests or a waiver of the provisions hereof). Upon the filing of a
Subdivision Map for a portion of the Property not previously covered

commercially reasonable efforts to market and sell each of the Lots.
The Subdivision Map, Declaration, Offering Materials and all
documentation in connection therewith, including, without limitation,
the by-laws and rules and regulations of the homeowner's association,
if any, the management agreement, the form of contract of sale and
deeds, and all other documents used by Borrower in connection with the
subdivision of the Property, the sale of Lots and the operation,
regulation, management and administration thereof shall be submitted to
Lender for review and approval prior to the submission or resubmission
thereof to any Governmental Authority or third parties and no changes
or modifications thereto shall be made without Lender's prior approval,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
Borrower shall not sell Lots unless and until the Subdivision Map,
Declaration and Offering Materials, as applicable, shall have been
approved by Lender and applicable Governmental Authorities.
8.8.2 Borrower shall sell Lots in a manner which is in
compliance with all Legal Requirements including, without limitation,
the Interstate Land Sales Act, to the extent applicable, and Borrower
will not accept money or other sums, consideration or compensation in
connection with the sale of a Lot, other than what is expressly set
forth in the Bona Fide Contract as consideration for the purchase.
8.8.3 Borrower shall perform or cause to be performed all
obligations of the developers or sponsors under the Declaration or
Offering Materials, as applicable, and do or cause to be done all
things necessary to operate and maintain the Property in compliance
with all Legal Requirements, and will comply with the regulations of
any relevant Governmental Authority, including securities regulations,
which may apply to the sale of Lots and will furnish such evidence of
compliance therewith as Lender may reasonably request.
8.8.4 Borrower shall (and hereby does) collaterally assign to
Lender all of Borrower's right, title and interest in the Offering
Materials so that Lender or any subsequent owner of the Mortgaged
Property who acquires title thereto pursuant to a foreclosure hereunder
or by taking a deed in lieu thereof may complete the filings required
in order to sell the Lots to the public. Borrower covenants and agrees
to execute and deliver to Lender or such subsequent owner such
documents, and deliver to Lender or such subsequent owner such
financial information concerning the Mortgaged Property, as Lender or
such subsequent owner may reasonably request in order to complete such
filings. In addition, promptly after a contract of sale is entered into
for the sale of a Lot, such contract and the right to receive any
deposit made thereunder, to the extent not prohibited by applicable
law, shall be collaterally assigned to Lender as security for the
Indebtedness. At Lender's request, each collateral assignment referred
to above shall be further evidenced by an instrument of assignment,
executed and delivered by Borrower, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Lender, which collateral assignment shall be released
upon the termination of the contract of sale on account of which such
deposit was made in accordance with its terms and return of such
deposit to the purchaser thereunder.
8.8.5 The rights granted hereunder to Lender to review,
approve and comment upon the Subdivision Map, Declaration and Offering
Materials are not intended to, nor shall they be deemed to, constitute
Lender as a sponsor or developer for the purposes hereof but is
intended merely to afford Lender the ability (i) to insure correct
disclosure of Lender's involvement with the Mortgaged Property, and
(ii) to protect and preserve the security intended to be granted to
Lender under this Mortgage and the Loan Documents, and Lender shall
have no liability for the performance of any obligations of Borrower or
any such sponsor or developer thereunder. Any approval by Lender of any
such documents shall be evidence solely of Lender's determination that
such document properly discloses such involvement and that the terms
thereof, if implemented, would not have an adverse effect on such
security, and not evidence of Lender's (A) determination that such
document is in compliance with any laws, rules or regulations or (B)
approval of the terms of such documents.
8.8.6 Upon the filing of the Subdivision Map, all references
herein to the Property shall be deemed to refer to the Property
excepting therefrom those Lots which may have been released from the
lien of this Mortgage in accordance with the provisions hereof.

8.10.5 Compliance with Offer. Any sale must be consummated
substantially in accordance with the terms and provisions of the
documents provided to Lender evidencing the Offer, or terms and
provisions which are more favorable to Borrower than such terms and
provisions provided to Lender, and in compliance with the requirements
