3.3.6 The occurrence of a Triggering Event of Default or Default under this Agreement shall, without limiting any other rights or remedy of Lender hereunder, suspend Lender's obligation to make further disbursements. Upon Borrower's written request and Lender's written consent, which may be granted or withheld in Lender's sole and absolute discretion, Lender's obligation to make further disbursements shall be reinstated if all Triggering Events of Defaults and Defaults under this Agreement have been cured.

The Loan shall become immediately due and payable at the option of Lender upon the occurrence of any one or more Defaults, whether such Default shall be voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or pursuant to or in compliance with any judgment, decree or order of any court or any rule or regulation of any administrative body or Governmental Agency:

7.1.1 if (a) any sum payable by Borrower under the Note, the Security Agreement and Second Deed of Trust or any of the Other Loan Documents (other than the outstanding amount of the Loan at maturity) is not paid within ten (10) days after written notice from Lender that such payment is past due; or (b) if the outstanding amount of the Loan is not paid in full at maturity;

7.1.2 if any representation or warranty of Borrower, Endeavor North or any Guarantor contained in this Agreement, the Note, the Security Agreement and Second Deed of Trust or any of the Other Loan Documents, shall prove false or misleading in any material respect or shall have omitted any substantial contingent or unliquidated liability or claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the default under this Section 7.1.2 is not the result of gross negligence or intentional misconduct, and Lender reasonably determines that the Project is not in imminent danger of significant harm, then Borrower shall have a period of ten (10) days following receipt of written notice from lender to cure such default, provided that if such default cannot reasonably be cured within such ten (10) day period and Borrower shall have commenced to cure such default within such ten (10) day period and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, such ten (10) day period shall be extended for so long as it shall require Borrower in the exercise

of due diligence to cure such default, it being agreed that no such extension shall be for a period in excess of sixty (60) days, unless Borrower can demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender that it can cure such default within an additional sixty (60) days, in which case such period shall be extended for an additional period of time agreed to by the Lender in the exercise of reasonable discretion not to exceed sixty (60) days;

7.1.3 if Borrower, Endeavor North, a Guarantor or any member in Borrower (each of whom is hereinafter in this subparagraph referred to as an "Obligor") shall commence any case, proceeding or other action relating to it in bankruptcy or seeking reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, arrangement, composition or readjustment of its debts, or for any other relief, under bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, arrangement, composition, readjustment of debt or other similar act or law of any jurisdiction, domestic or foreign, now or hereafter existing; or if an Obligor shall apply for a receiver, custodian or trustee of it or for all or a substantial part of its property; or if an Obligor shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or if an Obligor shall be unable to, or shall admit in writing the inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; or if an Obligor shall take any action indicating its consent to, approval of, acquiescence in, or in furtherance of, any of the foregoing; or if any case, proceeding or other action against an Obligor shall be commenced in bankruptcy or seeking reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, arrangement, composition or readjustment of its debts, or any other relief, under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, arrangement, composition, readjustment of debt or other similar act or law of any jurisdiction, domestic or foreign, now or hereafter existing, and such condition shall continue for a period of sixty (60) days undismissed, undischarged or unbonded; or if a receiver, custodian or trustee of an Obligor or for all or a substantial part of its property shall be appointed and such condition shall continue for a period of sixty (60) days undismissed, undischarged or unbonded; or if a warrant of attachment, execution or distraint, or similar process, shall be issued against any substantial part of the property of an Obligor and such condition shall continue for a period of sixty (60) days undismissed, undischarged or unbonded;

7.1.4 if there exists a Default by Borrower under the Note, the Security Agreement and Second Deed of Trust or any of the Other Loan Documents;

7.1.5 if Borrower shall be in default beyond any applicable notice or cure period under the Existing Loan Agreement, the Existing Deed of Trust or any other agreement in respect of the Existing Loan or any other indebtedness of Borrower or otherwise material to the Project, the Mortgaged Property, or Borrower;

7.1.6 if Borrower shall continue to be in default under any of the other terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement for ten (10) days after notice from Lender in the case of any default which can be cured by the payment of a sum of money or for thirty (30) days after notice from Lender in the case of any other default, provided that if such default cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period and Borrower shall have commenced to cure such default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, such thirty (30) day period shall be extended for so long as it shall require Borrower in the exercise of due diligence to cure such default, it being agreed that no such extension shall be for a period in excess of one hundred twenty (120) days.

7.2 Remedies. During the continuance of an Event of Default or upon the occurrence of a Default, Lender may, at its option, exercise any and all rights, remedies and recourses granted under the Note, the Security Agreement and Second Deed of Trust and the Other Loan Documents, or now or hereafter existing in equity, at law, by virtue of statute or otherwise.

7.3 Lender Cure Right. If Borrower shall fail to do any act or thing which it has covenanted to do hereunder or any representation or warranty of Borrower shall be breached, and a Default occurs

hereunder, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) do the same or cause it to be done or remedy any such breach and there shall be added to the Loan the cost or expense incurred by Lender in so doing, and any and all amounts expended by Lender in taking any such action shall be repayable to it upon its demand therefor and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date advanced to the date of repayment prior to maturity or acceleration of the Loan.

7.4 Cumulative Remedies. Lender's rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Note, the Security Agreement and Second Deed of Trust and the Other Loan Documents are cumulative and shall be in addition to all rights and remedies provided by law from time to time. The exercise by Lender of any right or remedy shall not constitute a cure or waiver of any default, nor invalidate any notice of default or any act done pursuant to any such notice, nor prejudice Lender in the exercise of any other right or remedy, until Lender realizes all amounts owed to it under this Agreement, the Note, the Security Agreement and Second Deed of Trust and the Other Loan Documents, and all Defaults are cured.

8. GUARANTY

8.1 Guaranty.

8.1.1 Subject to subsection 8.1.2 below, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally jointly and severally guarantees (such guarantees being collectively called the "Guaranty") to the Lender that: (i) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Note, and all costs and reasonably attorneys' fees, including any allocated in-house attorneys' costs and fees, incurred by Lender in connection with the collection thereof promptly will be paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, of the Note, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Borrower to the Lender hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of the Note or any of such other obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due by the Borrower of any amount so guaranteed for whatever reason, each Guarantor shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that he or she shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to Lender in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby.

8.1.2 This is a guaranty of payment and performance, not collection; each Guarantor hereby agrees that his or her obligations hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of:

(a) any lack of validity, regularity or enforceability of the Note, this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the amounts payable or obligations to be performed by Borrower under the Note or pursuant to the Loan Documents, including interest or the principal amount of the Loan and Lender's costs and expenses of collection (collectively, the "Indebtedness") or of any of the Loan Documents, or any other amendment, waiver or consent by the Lender to any departure from the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any increase in the Indebtedness resulting from the extension of additional credit to Borrower or otherwise;

(c) the absence of any action to enforce the Note or this Loan Agreement, or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor;

(d) the recovery of any judgment against the Borrower, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor, including, but not limited to, the taking, holding or sale of any Collateral or any termination or release of any Collateral from the Liens created by any Loan Documents;

(e) whether now or hereafter recovery upon such Indebtedness may be or hereafter become barred by any statute of limitation; or

(f) any change, restructuring or termination of the limited liability company or other structure or existence of Borrower or of any owner or partner of Borrower.

8.1.3 Each Guarantor hereby waives:

(a) promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, and any other notice with respect to any of the Indebtedness or this Guaranty;

(b) presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Borrower, any right to require a proceeding first against the Borrower or any other person or the Mortgaged Property or any other Collateral, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever;

(d) any and all defenses now or hereafter arising or asserted by reason of: (1) any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by Lender which in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects Guarantors' respective subrogation, contribution or reimbursement rights or other rights to proceed against Borrower or any other person or any Collateral (to the extent such rights have not been effectively waived as hereinafter provided); (2) any disability or other defense of Borrower or any other guarantor or any other person with respect to the Indebtedness; (3) the unenforceability or invalidity of any security, indemnity or guaranty for the Indebtedness or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Indebtedness; (4) the cessation for any cause whatsoever of the liability of Borrower or either of the Guarantors or any other person (other than by reason of the full payment and performance of all Indebtedness); (5) except as otherwise provided in any Loan Document, any failure of Lender to give notice of sale or other disposition of Collateral to Borrower or Guarantors or any other person or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any sale or disposition of Collateral; (6) except as otherwise provided in any Loan Document, any failure of Lender to comply with applicable laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any Collateral or other security for any Indebtedness, including without limitation, any failure of Lender to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of any Collateral or other security for any Indebtedness; (7) any act or omission of Lender or others that directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge or release of Borrower, either of the Guarantors or any other person or the Indebtedness or any other security or guaranty therefor by operation of law or otherwise; (8) any law which provides that the obligation of a surety or guarantor must neither be larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal or which reduces a surety's or guarantor's obligation in proportion to the principal obligation; (9) any failure of Lender to file or enforce a claim in any bankruptcy or other proceeding with respect to any person; (10) the election by Lender, in any bankruptcy proceeding of any person, of the application or non-application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code; (11) any extension of credit or the grant of any lien under Xxxxxxx 000 xx xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Bankruptcy Code; (12) any use of cash collateral under

Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code; (13) any agreement or stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding of any person; (14) the avoidance of any Lien in favor of Lender for any reason; (15) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding commenced by or against any person, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the Indebtedness (or any interest thereon) in or as a result of any such proceeding; (16) to the extent permitted in NRS 40.495(2), the benefits of the one-action rule under NRS 40.430; and (17) Guarantors' respective rights under NRS 104.3605, Guarantors specifically agreeing that the provisions of this clause (17) shall constitute a waiver of discharge under NRS 104.3605(9).

8.1.4 If Lender is required by any court or otherwise to return to Borrower or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to Borrower, any amount paid by Borrower to such trustee or such Lender, this Guaranty, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution or indemnification in relation to Lender in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby or any suretyship or guarantor defenses he or she might have under Nevada law or other applicable law (including any defense or benefit that may be derived from NRS 40.430 and judicial decisions relating thereto, and/or NRS 40.451 et seq., and judicial decisions relating thereto) until payment in full and performance of all obligations guaranteed hereby is complete. Each Guarantor covenants that this Guaranty shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Note and this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and agrees that he or she will be fully liable under this Guaranty even though Lender forecloses on any of the Mortgaged Property.

8.1.5 It is the intention of each Guarantor and Borrower that the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be, but not in excess of, the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Accordingly, if the obligations in respect of the Guaranty would be annulled, avoided or subordinated to the creditors of any Guarantor by a court of competent jurisdiction in a proceeding actually pending before such court as a result of a determination both that such Guaranty was made without fair consideration and, immediately after giving effect thereto, such Guarantor was insolvent or unable to pay his or her debts as they mature or left with an unreasonably small capital, then the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be reduced by such court if such reduction would result in the avoidance of such annulment, avoidance or subordination; provided, however, that any reduction pursuant to this Section 8.1.5 shall be made in the smallest amount as is strictly necessary to reach such result. For purposes of this paragraph, "fair consideration," "insolvency," "unable to pay his or her debts as they mature," "unreasonably small capital" and the effective times of reductions, if any, required by this paragraph shall be determined in accordance with applicable law. Any such reduction in respect of any individual Guarantor shall not affect the joint and several nature of this Guaranty or the obligations of any other Guarantor hereunder.

8.1.6 Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Lender against Borrower in respect of any amounts paid by such Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of the Guaranty or this Agreement; provided, however, that such Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Note and all other sums due and owing by or on behalf of Borrower to Lender shall have been paid in full.

8.1.7 Each of the Guarantors acknowledges that he or she will receive direct and indirect benefits from the Loan and that the waivers set forth in this Guaranty are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits and that such waivers are a material part of the consideration Lender is receiving for extending financial accommodations to Borrower. Each of the Guarantors hereby acknowledges and agrees that such waivers are intended to benefit Lender and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Guarantor's liability hereunder, under any other Loan Document to which any of the Guarantors is a party, or the enforceability hereof or thereof. Each of the Guarantors further represents, warrants and agrees that each of the waivers and consents set forth herein is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences, with the understanding that events giving rise to any defense waived may diminish, destroy or otherwise adversely affect rights which either of the Guarantors otherwise may have against Borrower, any other guarantors, Lender, or others, or against any Collateral. If any of the waivers or consents herein is determined

to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waivers and consents shall be effective to the maximum extent permitted by law.

8.2 Execution and Delivery of Guaranty. To evidence the Guaranty set forth in Section 8.1, Borrower and each Guarantor hereby agree that the Note will refer to such Guaranty and that this Agreement shall be executed by each Guarantor.

8.3 Release of Guarantors. The Guarantors shall be released from their obligations under the Guaranty and under this Agreement if and when the grantee of the Option exercises the Option.

9. SUBORDINATION OF NOTE

9.1 Note Subordinated to Senior Debt. Borrower, for itself, its successors and assigns, covenants and agrees, and Lender likewise covenants and agrees, that the indebtedness evidenced by the Note (and any renewals or extensions thereof), including the principal of, premium, if any, and interest thereon and any interest payable on such interest, shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt, and that each holder of Senior Debt whether now outstanding or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed shall be deemed to have acquired Senior Debt in reliance upon the covenants and provisions contained in this Agreement and the Note.

9.2 Note Subordinated to Prior Payment of all Senior Debt on Dissolution, Liquidation, Reorganization, etc. of Borrower. Upon any payment or distribution of the assets of Borrower of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (including any collateral at any time securing the Note, except for property as to which the Security Agreement and Second Deed of Trust expressly provides is subject to a first Lien in favor of Lender) to creditors upon any dissolution, winding-up, total or partial liquidation, reorganization, or recapitalization or readjustment of Borrower or its property or securities (whether voluntary or involuntary, or in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, or receivership proceedings, or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of Borrower or otherwise), then in such event,

9.2.1 all holders of Senior Debt shall first be entitled to receive payment in full in cash, before any payment is made on account of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on the indebtedness evidenced by the Note;

9.2.2 any payment or distribution of assets of Borrower, of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (other than equity interests in Borrower), to which Lender would be entitled except for the provisions of this Section 9, except for property as to which the Security Agreement and Second Deed of Trust expressly provides is subject to a first Lien in favor of Lender, shall be paid or delivered by any debtor or other person making such payment or distribution, directly to the holders of the Senior Debt or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Debt may have been issued, ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of the Senior Debt held or represented by each, for application to payment of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Debt in full after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Debt; and

9.2.3 in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.2, any payment or distribution of assets of Borrower, whether in cash, property or securities (other than equity interests in Borrower), shall be received by Lender before all Senior Debt is paid in full, such payment or distribution (subject to the provisions of Sections 9.6 and 9.7) shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be immediately paid or delivered by Lender, as the case may be, to the holders of Senior Debt remaining unpaid or unprovided for, or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any

instruments evidencing any of such Senior Debt may have been issued, ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of the Senior Debt held or represented by each, for application to the payment of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Debt in full after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Debt.

Borrower shall give prompt written notice to Lender of any action or plan of dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company or any other facts known to it which would cause a payment to violate this Section 9.

Upon any payment or distribution of assets of Borrower referred to in this Section 9, Lender shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making any distribution to Lender, for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt and other debt of the Company, the amount thereof payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Section 9.

9.3 Lender to be Subrogated to Right of Holders of Senior Debt. Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Debt in cash or cash equivalents, the Lender shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with the holders of all debt of Borrower that, by its terms, is not superior in right of payment to the Note and ranks on a parity with the Note) to the rights of the holders of Senior Debt to receive payments or distributions of assets of Borrower applicable to the Senior Debt until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, on the Note shall be paid in full, and for purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of Senior Debt of assets, whether in cash, property or securities, distributable to the holders of Senior Debt under the provisions hereof to which Lender would be entitled except for the provisions of this Section 9, and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9 to the holders of Senior Debt by Lender shall, as between Borrower, its creditors (other than the holders of Senior Debt) and lender, be deemed to be a payment by Borrower to or on account of Senior Debt, it being understood that the provisions of this Section 9 are, and are intended, solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of Lender, on the one hand, and the holders of Senior Debt, on the other hand.

9.4 Obligations of Borrower Unconditional. Nothing contained in this Section 9 or elsewhere in this Agreement or in the Note is intended to or shall impair or affect, as between Borrower, its creditors (other than the holders of Senior Debt) and Lender, the obligation of Borrower, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to Lender the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Note, as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance wits terms, or to affect the relative rights of Lender and creditors of Borrower other than the holders of Senior Debt, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent or limit Lender from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon the happening of an Event of Default hereunder, subject to the rights, if any, under this Section 9 of the holders of Senior Debt in respect of assets, whether in cash, property or securities, of Borrower received upon the exercise of any such remedy. Nothing contained in this Section 9 or elsewhere in this Agreement or in the Note, shall, except during the pendency of any dissolution, winding-up, total or partial liquidation, reorganization, recapitalization or readjustment of Borrower or its securities (whether voluntary or involuntary, or in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation or receivership proceedings, or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors, of any other marshalling of assets and liabilities of Borrower or otherwise), affect the obligation of Borrower to make, or prevent Borrower from making, at any time (except under the circumstances described in Section 9.5 hereof), payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Note.

9.5 Borrower not to Make Payments with Respect to Note in Certain Circumstances.

9.5.1 Upon the maturity of any Senior Debt by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise, all principal thereof and interest thereon and all other obligations in respect thereof shall first be paid in full in cash or cash equivalents, or such payment duly provided for, before any payment is made on account of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Note in cash or property (other than property as to which the Security Agreement and Second Deed of Trust expressly provides is subject to a first Lien in favor of Lender), or to acquire or repurchase the Note.

9.5.2 Upon the happening of an event of default (as such term is used in any instrument governing Senior Debt) in respect of the payment of any Senior Debt, then, unless and until such default shall have been cured or waived by the holders of such Senior Debt or shall have ceased to exist, no payment shall be made by Borrower with respect to the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Note in cash or property or to acquire or repurchase the Note.

9.5.3 Upon the happening of a default or an event of default with respect to any Senior Debt as such terms are used in such instruments, other than a default in payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Senior Debt, or if an event of default would result upon any payment with respect to the Note, upon written notice of (i) the default given to Borrower, each Guarantor and Lender by holders of Senior Debt representing a majority of the principal amount thereof or their representative, or (ii) the event of default given to Borrower, each Guarantor and Lender by the holders of Senior Debt representing a majority of the principal amount thereof or their representative, then, unless and until such default or event of default has been cured or waived or otherwise has ceased to exist, no payment may be made by Borrower with to the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Note in cash or property (other than property as to which the Security Agreement and Second Deed of Trust expressly provides is subject to a first Lien in favor of Lender), or to acquire or repurchase the Note for cash or property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if the event of default in respect of Senior Debt relates solely to the failure of Borrower to make payments to Lender on the Note and such default can be cured by payment of funds in the Shortfall Reserve Account, then such funds may be applied to such payment; and (ii) unless the Senior Debt in respect of which such default or event of default exists has been declared due and payable in its entirety, in the case of a default, within thirty (30) days and, in the case of an event of default, within 180 days after the date written notice of such default or event of default is delivered as set forth above (the "Payment Blockage Period"), and such declaration has not been rescinded, Borrower is required then to pay all sums not paid to Lender during the Payment Blockage Period due to the foregoing prohibitions and to resume all other payments as and when due on the Note. Any number of such notices may be given; provided, however, that (x) during any 360 consecutive days, the aggregate of all Payment Blockage Periods shall not exceed 180 days, (y) there shall be a period of at least 180 consecutive days during each continuous 360-day period when no Payment Blockage Period is in effect, and (z) any default or event of default that resulted in the commencement of a 180-day period may not be the basis for the commencement of any other 180-day period.

In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.5, any payment or distribution of assets of Borrower, whether in cash, property (except as aforesaid) or securities (other than equity interests in Borrower), shall be received by Lender at a time when such payment or distribution should not have been made because of Section 9.5, such payment or distribution (subject to the provisions of Sections 9.6 and 9.7) shall be held in trust for the benefit of the holders of, and shall be paid or delivered by Lender, to the holders of the Senior Debt remaining unpaid or unprovided for or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Debt may have been issued, ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of the Senior Debt held or represented by each, for application to the payment of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all

Senior Debt in full after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Debt.

9.6 Lender Entitled to Assume Payments not Prohibited in Absence of Notice. Lender shall not at any time be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment to Lender, unless and until Lender shall have received written notice thereof at its address set forth for notice in Section 11.1 hereof from Borrower or from one or more holders of Senior Debt or from any representative thereof or trustee therefor, and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, Borrower shall be entitled to assume conclusively that no such facts exist, and shall be fully protected in making any such payment in any such event.

Lender shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself or itself to be a holder of Senior Debt (or a trustee on behalf of such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of Senior debt or a trustee on behalf of any such holder. In the event that Lender determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Debt to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Section 9, Lender may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender as to the amount of Senior Debt held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Section 9, and, if such evidence is not furnished, Lender may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment.

9.7 Application by Lender of Monies Deposited with it. Any deposit of monies by Borrower with Lender for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Note shall be subject to the provisions of Section 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 and 9.5 hereof, except (a) as otherwise provide in Section 9.5 and (b) that, if prior to the opening of business on the second Business day next prior to the date on which, by the terms of this Agreement, any such monies may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Note) Lender shall not have received with respect to such monies the notice provided for in Section 9.6, then Lender shall have the full power and authority to receive such monies and to apply such monies to the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it on or after such date; without, however, limiting any rights that holders of Senior Debt may have to recover any such payments from Lender in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.

9.8 Subordination Rights Not Impaired by Acts or Omissions of Borrower or Holders of Senior Debt. No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Debt to enforce subordination, as herein provided, shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of Borrower or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any non-compliance by the Borrower with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement, the Note, or any other agreement or instrument regardless of any knowledge thereof any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with.

Lender, by its acceptance thereof, undertakes and agrees for the benefit of each holder of Senior Debt to execute, verify, deliver and file any proofs of claim, consents, assignments or other instruments that any holder of Senior Debt may at any time require in order to prove and realize upon any rights or claims pertaining to the Note and to effectuate the full benefit of the subordination contained in this Section 9, and upon failure of Lender so to do, any such holder of Senior debt (or a trustee or representative on its behalf) shall be deemed to be irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney-in-fact of Lender to execute, verify, deliver and file any such proofs of claim, consents, assignments or other instrument.

Without limiting the effect of the first paragraph of this Section 9.8, any holder of Senior Debt may at any time and from time to time without the consent of or notice to Lender, without impairing

or releasing any of the rights of any such holder of Senior Debt hereunder, upon or without any terms or conditions and in whole or in part:

(i) change the manner, place or terms of payment, or change or extend the time of payment of or increase the amount of, renew or alter, any Senior Debt or any other liability of Borrower to such holder, any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and the provisions hereof shall apply to the Senior Debt of such holder as so changed, extended, renewed or altered;

(ii) sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or however securing, any Senior Debt or any other liability of Borrower to such holder or any other liabilities incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, or any offset against it;

(iii) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights or remedies against Borrower or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting or for any reason fail to file, record or otherwise perfect any security interest in or lien on any property of Borrower or any other Person;

(iv) settle or compromise any Senior Debt or any other liability of Borrower to such holder or any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of Borrower to creditors of Borrower other than such holder; and

(v) apply any sums by whomsoever paid and however realized to any liability or liabilities of Borrower to such holder (other than in respect of the Note or any liability or liabilities which rank pari passu or junior in right of payment to the Note) regardless of what liability or liabilities of Borrower to such holder remain unpaid.

9.9. Section 9 not to Prevent Events of Default. The failure to make a payment on account of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Note by reason by any provision in this Section 9 shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of an Event of Default.

10. SUBORDINATION OF GUARANTY

10.1 Guaranty Subordinated to Senior Debt. Each Guarantor, for his or her self, their successors and assigns, covenants and agrees, and Lender, by its acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that payments by the guarantors in respect of the Guaranty shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt, and that each holder of Senior Debt whether now outstanding or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed shall be deemed to have acquired Senior Debt in reliance upon the covenants and provisions contained in this Agreement and the Note. For purposes of this Section 10, "payment in respect of the Guaranty" means any payment made by or on behalf of any Guarantor in respect of the Guaranty, including, but not limited to, any payment on account of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Note in cash or property or to acquire or repurchase the Note.

10.2 Guaranty Subordinated to Prior Payment of all Senior Debt on Dissolution, Liquidation, Reorganization, etc. of the Guarantor. Upon any payment or distribution of the assets of any Guarantor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (including any collateral at any time securing the Note) to creditors upon any dissolution, or winding-up, or total or partial liquidation, or reorganization, or recapitalization or readjustment of any Guarantor or his or her property or securities (whether voluntary or involuntary, or in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, or receivership proceedings, or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of such Guarantor or otherwise), then in such event,

10.2.1 the holders of all Senior Debt shall first be entitled to receive payment in full in cash or cash equivalents before any payment in respect of the Guaranty is made;

10.2.2 any payment or distribution of assets of any Guarantor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which Lender would be entitled except for the provision of this Section 10-, shall be paid or delivered by any debtor or other person making such payment or distribution, directly to the holders of the Senor Debt or their representatives or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Debt may have been issued, ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of the Senior Debt held or represented by each, for application to payment of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Debt in full after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Debt; and

10.2.3 in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.2, any payment or distribution of assets of any Guarantor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, shall be received Lender before all Senior Debt is paid in full, such payment or distribution (subject to the provisions of Section 10.6 and 10.7) shall be held in trust for the benefit or, and shall be immediately paid or delivered by Lender, to the holders of Senior Debt remaining unpaid or unprovided for, or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustee under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Debt may have been issued, ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of the Senior Debt held or represented by each, for application to the payment of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Debt in full after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Debt.

Each Guarantor shall give prompt notice to the trustee and any paying agent of any liquidation or reorganization of such Guarantor or any other facts known to it which would cause a payment to violate this Section 10.

Upon any payment or distribution of assets of any Guarantor referred to in this Section 10, Lender shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making any distribution to Lender, for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt, the amount thereof payable thereon, the mount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Section 10.

10.3 Lender to be Subrogated to Rights of Holders of Senior Debt. Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Debt in cash or cash equivalents, Lender shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior Debt to receive payments or distribution of assets of any Guarantor applicable to the Senior Debt until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Note shall be paid in full, and for purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of Senior Debt of assets, whether in cash, property or securities, distributable to the holders of Senior Debt under the provisions hereof to which Lender would be entitled except for the provisions of this Section 10, and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10 to the holders of Senior Debt by Lender shall, as between any Guarantor, his or her creditors (other than the holders of Senior Debt) and Lender, be deemed to be a payment by any Guarantor to or on account of Senior Debt, it being understood that the provisions of this Section 10 are, and are intended, solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of Lender, on the one hand, and the holders of Senior Debt, on the other hand.

10.4 Obligations of Guarantors Unconditional. Nothing contained in this Section 10 or elsewhere in this Agreement or in the Note is intended to or shall impair or affect, as between any Guarantor, its creditors (other than the holders of Senior Debt) and Lender, the obligation of any Guarantor under

the Guaranty, or to affect the relative rights of Lender and creditors of any Guarantor, other than the holders of Senior Debt, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent or limit Lender from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon the happening of an Event of Default hereunder, subject to the rights, if any, under this Section 10 of the holders of Senior Debt in respect of assets, whether in cash, property or securities, of any Guarantor, received upon the exercise of any such remedy. Nothing contained in this Section 10 or elsewhere in this Agreement or in the Note, shall, except during the pendency of any winding-up, total or partial liquidation or readjustment of any Guarantor (whether voluntary or involuntary, or in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation or receivership proceedings, or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any other marshalling of assets and liabilities of such Guarantor or otherwise), affect the obligation of such Guarantor to make, or prevent such Guarantor from making, at any time (except under the circumstances described in Section 10.5 hereof), any payment in respect of the Guaranty.

10.5 Guarantor Not to make Payments in Respect of the Guaranty in Certain Circumstances.

10.5.1 Upon the maturity of any Senior Debt by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise, all principal thereof and interest thereon and all other obligations in respect thereof shall first be paid in full in cash or cash equivalents, or such payment duly provided for before any payment in respect of the Guaranty is made.

10.5.2 Upon the happening of an event of default (as such term is used in such instrument) in respect of the payment of any Senior Debt), then, unless and until such default shall have been cured or waived by the holders of Senior Debt or shall have ceased to exist, no payment in respect of the Guaranty shall be made.

10.5.3 Upon the happening of a default or an event of default with respect to any Senior Debt, other than a default in payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Senior Debt, or if an event of default would result upon any payment pursuant to the Guaranty with respect to the Note, upon written notice of (i) the default given to Borrower, each Guarantor and Lender by holders of Senior Debt representing a majority of the principal amount thereof or their representative, or (ii) the event of default given to Borrower, each Guarantor and Lender by the holders of Senior Debt representing a majority of the principal amount thereof or their representative, then, unless and until such default or event of default has been cured or waived or otherwise has ceased to exist, no payment in respect of the Guaranty may be made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Senior Debt in respect of which such default or event of default exists has been declared due and payable in its entirety, in the case of a default, within 30 days and, in the case of an event of default, within 180 days after the date written notice of such default or event of default is delivered as set forth above (the "Payment Blockage Period"), and such declaration has not been rescinded, each Guarantor is required then to pay all sums not paid to Lender during the Payment Blockage Period due to the foregoing prohibitions and to resume all other payments as and when due on the Note. Any number of such notices may be given; provided, however, that (i) during any 360 consecutive days, the aggregate of all Payment Blockage Periods shall not exceed 180 days, (ii) there shall be a period of at least 190 consecutive days during each continuous 360-day period when no Payment Blockage Period is in effect, and (iii) any default or event of default that resulted in the commencement of a 180-day period may not be the basis for the commencement of any other 180-day period.

10.6 Lender Entitled to Assume Payments not Prohibited in Absence of Notice. Lender shall not at any time be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment to Lender, unless and until Lender shall have received written notice thereof at the address set forth in Section 11.1 hereof from Borrower or any Guarantor or from one or more holders of Senior Debt or from any representative thereof or trustee therefor, and, prior, to the receipt of any such written notice, Lender shall be entitled to assume conclusively that no such facts exist, and shall be fully protected in making any such payment in any such event.

Lender shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself or itself to be a holder of Senior Debt (or a trustee on behalf of such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of Senior Debt or a trustee on behalf of any such holder. In the event that Lender determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Debt to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Section 10, Lender may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender as to the amount of Senior Debt held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Section 10, and, if such evidence is not furnished, Lender may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment.

10.7 Application by Lender of Monies Deposited with it. Any deposit of monies by any Guarantor with Lender for any payment in respect of the Guaranty shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.5 hereof except that, if prior to the opening of business on the second Business Day next prior to the date on which, by the terms of this Agreement, any such monies may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of principal of, or interest on, the Note) Lender shall not have received with respect to such monies the notice provided for in Section 10.6, then Lender shall have the full power and authority to receive such monies and to apply such monies to the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it on or after such date; without, however, limiting any rights that

holders of Senior Debt may have recover any such payments from Lender in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.

10.8 Subordination Rights not Impaired by Acts or Omissions of Guarantors or Holders of Senior Debt. No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Debt to enforce subordination, as herein provided, shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any Guarantor or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any non-compliance by any Guarantor with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement, the Note, or any other agreement or instrument regardless of any knowledge thereof any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with.

Lender undertakes and agrees for the benefit of each holder of Senior Debt to execute, verify, deliver and file any proofs of claim, consents, assignments or other instruments that any holder of Senior Debt may at any time require in order to prove and realize upon any rights or claims pertaining to the Guaranty and to effectuate the full benefit of the subordination contained in this Section 10; and upon failure of Lender so to do, any such holder of Senior Debt) or a trustee or representative on its behalf) shall be deemed to be irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney-in-fact of Lender to execute, verify, deliver and file any such proofs of claim, consents, assignments or other instrument.

Without limiting the effect of the first paragraph of this Section 10.8, any holder of Senior Debt may at any time and from time to time without the consent of or notice to Lender, without impairing or releasing any of the rights of any such holder of Senior Debt hereunder, upon or without any terms or conditions and in whole or in part:

(i) change the manner, place or terms of payment, or change or extend the time of payment of or increase the amount of, renew or alter, any Senior Debt or any other liability of any Guarantor to such holder, any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and the provisions hereof shall apply to the Senior Debt of such holder as so changed, extended, renewed or altered;

(ii) sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or however securing, any Senior Debt or any other liability of any Guarantor to such holder or any other liabilities incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, or any offset against it;

(iii) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights or remedies against any Guarantor or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting or for any reason fail to file, record or otherwise perfect any security interest in or lien on any property of any Guarantor or any other Person;

(iv) settle or compromise any Senior Debt or any other liability of Borrower to such holder or any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of any Guarantor to creditors of any Guarantor other than such holder; and

(v) apply any sums by whomsoever paid and however realized to any liability or liabilities of any Guarantor to such holder (other than in respect of the Guaranty or any liability or liabilities which rank pari passu or junior in right of payment to the Guaranty) regardless of what liability or liabilities of such Guarantor to such holder remain unpaid.

10.9 Section 10 Not to Prevent Events of Default. The failure to make a payment in respect of the Guaranty, by reason by any provision in this Section 10 shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder.

10.10 Lender not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Debt. The provisions of this Agreement are not intended to create, nor shall they create, any trust or fiduciary relationship between Lender and the holders of Senior Debt, nor shall any implied covenants or obligations with respect to holders of Senior

Debt (other than those expressly set forth herein) be read into this Agreement against Lender. Accordingly, notwithstanding any provision of this Section 10, to the contrary, Lender shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall in good faith, inadvertently pay over or distribute to holders or any Guarantor or any other person monies or assets to which any holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled by virtue of this Section 10 or otherwise.

11.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the making by Lender of the Loan and the execution and delivery to Lender of this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect until the Loan is paid in full and any other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, the Note, the Security Agreement and Second Deed of Trust and the Other Loan Documents are performed in full. Whenever in this Agreement either of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of Borrower, Endeavor North and the Guarantors which are contained in this Agreement shall bind the successors and assigns of Borrower, Endeavor North and the Guarantors and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of Lender.

11.5 Estoppel Certificates. Borrower, within ten (10) days after request by Lender and at Borrower's expense, will furnish Lender with a statement, duly acknowledged and certified, setting forth the amount of the Loan and the defenses, thereto, if any.

11.6 Further Acts, etc. Borrower will, at the cost of Borrower, and without expense to Lender, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every such further acts, deeds, conveyances, mortgages, assignments, notices of assignments, transfers and assurances as Lender shall, from time to time, reasonably require for the better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring and confirming unto Lender the property and rights hereby mortgaged or which Borrower may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to Lender, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Agreement, the Note, the Security Agreement and Second Deed of Trust or the Other Loan Documents, or for filing, registering or recording the Security Agreement and Second Deed of Trust or the Other Loan Documents.

11.7 Usury Laws. This Agreement, the Note, the Security Agreement and Second Deed of Trust and the Other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance due under the Note at a rate which could subject the holder of the Note to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower is permitted by law to contract or agree to pay. If, by the terms of this Agreement, the Note, the Security Agreement and Second Deed of Trust or the Other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due under the Note at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the rate of interest under the Note shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and the interest payable shall be computed at such maximum rate and all prior interest payments in excess of such maximum rate shall be applied and shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of the principal balance of the Note.

11.9 Delay not Waiver. No delay on the part of lender in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement, the Note, the Security Agreement and Second Deed of Trust or the Other Loan Documents or failure to exercise the same shall operate as a waiver in whole or in part of any such right or remedy or be construed as an election of remedies. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions, the acceptance by lender from time to time of any payment under this Agreement or the Note which is past due or which is less than the payment full of all amounts due and payable at the time of such payment, shall not (i) constitute a waiver of or impair or extinguish the right of the holder hereof to accelerate the maturity of the Note or to exercise any other right or remedy at the time or at any subsequent time, or nullify any prior exercise of any such right or remedy, (ii) constitute a waiver of the requirement of punctual payment and performance, or (iii) constitute a novation in any respect, except that Lender's written acceptance of past due payment as payment in full shall constitute a cure of such payment default. No notice to or demand on Borrower shall be deemed to be a waiver of the obligation of Borrower or of the right of Lender to take further action without further notice or demand as provided in this Agreement, the Note, the Security Agreement and Second Deed of Trust and the Other Loan Documents.

11.10 Relationship. The relationship of Lender to Borrower hereunder is strictly and solely that of lender and borrower, and nothing contained in this Agreement, the Note, the Security Agreement and Second Deed of Trust or any of the Other Loan Documents now or hereafter executed and delivered in connection therewith or otherwise in connection with the Loan is intended to create, or shall in any event or under any circumstance be construed as creating, a partnership, joint venture, tenancy-in-common, joint tenancy or other relationship of any nature whatsoever between Lender and Borrower other than as lender and borrower.

11.11 Written Modification only. This Agreement may only be modified, amended, changes or terminated by an agreement in writing signed by Lender and Borrower, or in the case of the Guaranty, each Guarantor. No waiver of any term, covenant or provision of this Agreement shall only be effective unless given in writing by the waiving party, and, if so given, shall only be effective in the specific instance in which given.

11.12 Offsets and Defenses. This Agreement, the Note, the Security Agreement and Second Deed of Trust and the Other Loan Documents set forth the entire agreement and understanding of Lender, Borrower and each Guarantor regarding the Loan. Borrower and each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and all right to assert any offset with respect to amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement, the Note, any of the Security Agreement and Second Deed of Trust or any of the Other Loan Documents. In addition, in connection with any action brought by Lender to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, the Note, any of the Security Agreement and Second Deed of Trust or any of the Other Loan Documents or to enforce, foreclose and realize upon the Liens created hereby, by the Security Agreement and Second Deed of Trust or by the Other Loan Documents, Borrower absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and all right to assert in such action any noncompulsory counterclaim or cross claim of any nature whatsoever with respect to (i) this Agreement, the Note, the Security Agreement and Second Deed of Trust or the Other Loan documents, (ii) the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, the Note, the Security Agreement and Second Deed of Trust or the Other Loan Documents, (iii) the obligations of any other person or party relating to this Agreement, the Note, the Security Agreement and Second Deed of Trust or the Other Loan Documents, (iv) the obligations of Borrower hereunder or otherwise with respect to the Loan, or (v) any claim or other matter relating to the Existing Loan or the Existing Loan Documents or the respective obligations of any of the Borrower Parties or Lender thereunder.

As a material consideration to Lender, in any action brought by Lender to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, the Note, the Security Agreement and Second Deed of Trust or any of the Other Loan Documents, Borrower and each Guarantor absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and all right to assert any defense for the sole purpose (as judicially determined) of delaying, hindering or impairing Lender's rights or remedies.

11.13 Entire Agreement. Borrower and each Guarantor acknowledges that no oral or other agreements, understandings, representations or warranties exist with respect to this Agreement, the Note, the Security Agreement and Second Deed of Trust or Other Loan Documents with respect to the obligations of Borrower, except those specifically set forth herein or therein.

11.14 Sale; Assignment. Borrower and each Guarantor acknowledges that Lender shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion during the term of the Loan (i) to sell and assign the Loan or participation interests in the Loan, and/or (ii) to effect a so-called securitization of the Loan, in each instance in such manner and on such terms and conditions as Lender shall deem to be appropriate. Borrower and each Guarantor shall reasonably cooperate, at Lender's expense, in all respects with Lender in connection with such sale, assignment, participation and/or securitization, and shall, in connection therewith, execute and deliver such estoppel certificates, instruments and documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender. Borrower and each Guarantor grants to Lender the right to distribute on a confidential basis financial and other information concerning Borrower, each Guarantor

and the Project and other pertinent information with respect to the Loan to any party who has indicated to Lender an interest in entering into such sale, assignment and/or securitization of the Loan. If Borrower or any Guarantor shall default in the performance of its, his or her obligations as set forth in this Section, and if such default shall not be remedied by Borrower or such Guarantor within ten (10) days after written notice by Lender, Lender shall have the right in its discretion to declare the Loan immediately due and payable.
