Loan to Borrower, subject to Borrower’s compliance with and observance of the
terms, conditions, covenants, and provisions of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, and Borrower has made the covenants, representations, and

will be evidenced, secured and guaranteed by the Loan Documents.
Section

on Interest.
All
agreements between Borrower and Lender, whether now existing or hereafter

contingency, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of any
indebtedness governed hereby or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for,
charged or received by Lender exceed the maximum amount permissible under
applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise
be payable to Lender in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest
payable to Lender shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under
applicable law; and, if from any circumstance the Lender shall ever receive
anything of value deemed interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum
lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to
the
reduction of the principal of the Loan and not to the payment of interest,
or,
if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Loan,
such excess shall be refunded to Borrower. All interest paid or agreed to be
paid to Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized,
prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full period until payment in
full
of the principal of the Loan (including the period of any renewal or extension
thereof) so that interest thereon for such full period shall not exceed the
maximum amount permitted by applicable law. This paragraph shall control all
agreements between the Borrower and Lender.

principal of the Loan from the date of the initial advance under the Loan to

interest then due and payable on the Note, and the amount thereof shall reduce

interest is due under the Note, Borrower shall apply all such Net Operating
Cash
Flow toward the payment of interest due under the Note. Notwithstanding anything

principal of the Note be disbursed to pay accrued interest thereon upon
depletion of the balance of the Interest Reserve Account. The depletion of

obligation to continue to pay all interest accruing on the Loan. In lieu of
disbursing principal of the Note to Borrower for payment of accrued interest
thereon, Lender may handle such disbursement and payment by making appropriate

shall be held in trust for Lender and promptly delivered to Lender by Borrower
with Borrower’s endorsement to Lender.
25
Policies
or binders, together with evidence of the above required insurance on XXXXX
Form
27 or its equivalent, must be submitted to Lender prior to setting the interest
rate on the Loan.
With
respect to insurance policies which require payment of premiums annually, not
less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration dates of the insurance
policies obtained pursuant to this Agreement, Borrower shall pay such amount,
except to the extent Lender is escrowing sums therefor pursuant to the Loan
Documents. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration dates of
the
insurance policies obtained pursuant to this Agreement, originals or certified
copies of renewals of such policies (or certificates evidencing such renewals)
bearing notations evidencing the payment of premiums or accompanied by other
evidence satisfactory to Lender of such payment, which premiums shall not be
paid by Borrower through or by any financing arrangement, shall be delivered
by
Borrower to Lender at the address set forth in Section 10.7 hereof and in
Exhibit
“E”
hereto.
Borrower shall not carry separate insurance, concurrent in kind or form or
contributing in the event of loss, with any insurance required under this
Section 5.5. If the limits of any policy required hereunder are reduced or
eliminated due to a covered loss, Borrower shall pay the additional premium,
if
any, in order to have the original limits of insurance reinstated, or Borrower
shall purchase new insurance in the same type and amount that existed
immediately prior to the loss.
If
Borrower fails to maintain and deliver to Lender the original policies or
certificates of insurance required by this Agreement, Lender may, at its option,
procure such insurance and Borrower shall pay or, as the case may be, reimburse
Lender for, all premiums thereon promptly, upon demand by Lender, with interest
thereon at the Default Rate from the date paid by Lender to the date of
repayment and such sum shall constitute a part of the Loan
Obligations.
The
insurance required by this Agreement may, at the option of Borrower, be effected
by blanket and/or umbrella policies issued to Borrower or to an Affiliate of
Borrower covering the Facility and the properties of such Affiliate; provided
that, in each case, the policies otherwise comply with the provisions of this
Agreement and allocate to the Facility, from time to time, the coverage
specified by this Agreement, without possibility of reduction or coinsurance
by
reason of, or damage to, any other property (real or personal) named therein.
If
the insurance required by this Agreement shall be effected by any such blanket
or umbrella policies, Borrower shall furnish to Lender original policies or
certified copies thereof, with schedules attached thereto showing the amount
of
the insurance provided under such policies which is applicable to the
Facility.
Neither
Lender nor its agents or employees shall be liable for any loss or damage
insured by the insurance policies required to be maintained under this
Agreement; it being understood that (a) Borrower shall look solely to
its
insurance company for the recovery of such loss or damage, (b) such
insurance company shall have no rights of subrogation against Lender, its agents
or employees, and (c) Borrower shall use its best efforts to procure
from
such insurance company a waiver of subrogation rights against Lender. If,
however, such insurance policies do not provide for a waiver of subrogation
rights against Lender (whether because such a waiver is unavailable or
otherwise), then Borrower hereby agrees, to the extent permitted by law and
to
the extent not prohibited by such insurance policies, to waive its rights of
recovery, if any, against Lender, its agents and employees, whether resulting
from any damage to the Facility, any liability claim in connection with the
Facility or otherwise. If any such insurance policy shall prohibit Borrower
from
waiving such claims, then Borrower must obtain from such insurance company
a
waiver of subrogation rights against Lender.
26
Borrower
appoints Lender as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, which appointment shall be
deemed irrevocable and coupled with an interest, to cause the issuance of an
endorsement of any insurance policy to bring Borrower into compliance herewith
and, as limited above, at Lender’s sole option, to make any claim for, receive
payment for, and execute and endorse any documents, checks or other instruments
in payment for loss, theft, or damage covered under any such insurance policy;
provided, however, that in no event will Lender be liable for failure to collect
any amounts payable under any insurance policy.

approve plans and specifications and completed construction and to approve
all
requests for disbursement, which approvals shall be conditions precedent to
release of proceeds as work progresses;
(g) no
portion of such proceeds shall be made available by Lender for architectural
reviews or for any purpose which is not directly attributable to the cost of
repairing, restoring or replacing the Improvements, Equipment and Inventory
for

insurance;
(h) Borrower
shall diligently pursue such work and shall complete such work prior to the
earlier to occur of the expiration of business interruption insurance or the

deleted];
(j) each
disbursement by Lender of such proceeds and deposits shall be funded subject
to
the conditions and in accordance with the terms hereof;

Lender shall request to create, evidence, or perfect such lien and security
interest; and
(l) in
the
event and to the extent such proceeds are not required or used for the repair,
restoration and replacement of the Improvements, Equipment and Inventory for
which a loss or damage has occurred, or in the event Borrower fails to timely
make the election to have insurance proceeds applied to the restoration of
the
Improvements, Equipment, or Inventory, or, having made such election, fails
to
timely comply with the terms and conditions set forth herein, or, if the
conditions set forth herein for such application are otherwise not satisfied,
then Lender shall be entitled without notice to or consent from Borrower to
apply such proceeds, or the balance thereof, at Lender’s option either (i) to
the full or partial payment or prepayment of the Loan Obligations (without

nature, primarily to inform Lender of the progress of construction of the SNF;
and that, in any event, Borrower shall not be entitled to rely on any such
inspection(s) as constituting Lender’s approval, satisfaction or acceptance with
respect to materials, workmanship, conformance to Plans or otherwise. Borrower
hereby agrees to make its own inspections of the construction to determine
that
the quality of the SNF and all other requirements of the work of construction
financed by the Loan are being performed in a manner satisfactory to Borrower,
and Borrower agrees to immediately notify Lender in writing should the same
show
any work to be unsatisfactory in any manner. Without limiting the foregoing,
Borrower shall permit Lender to examine and copy all books and account records

not (A) to mislead others as to the identity with which such other party is
transacting business, or (B) to suggest that it is responsible for the debts
of
any third party (including any of its partners, principals or affiliates, or
any
general partner, principal or affiliate thereof); or

or
(ii) obtain lawful capital contributions in accordance with applicable law
from
its Affiliates to the extent necessary to satisfy its obligations as they become
due; provided, however, that all such transactions are accurately reflected

the
time of the requested advance, Borrower must (i) not be in Default under this
Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document; (ii) have cured any

42
(b) Subject
to the provisions of this Agreement, advances of the Loan will be made by Lender

Property and the construction and equipping of the SNF as shown in the Approved
Budget.
(c) The
Loan
shall not exceed eighty percent (80%) of total Costs of Construction of the
SNF,
as set forth in the Approved Budget; the amount of the developer fee for the
Facility will not exceed Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00)
and is payable pro-rata during construction of the Facility, based on the
progress of construction as determined by Lender and its Inspector.
(d) Disbursements

(i) An
updated list of Major Subcontractors for the Facility. Lender will not be
obligated to disburse for any costs incurred with respect to work performed
by
any Major Subcontractors which Borrower has not listed for Lender prior to
such
disbursement request. If Lender so requests, Borrower will assign Borrower’s
interest or cause the interest of the General Contractor in any or all
subcontracts entered into by Major Subcontractors to be assigned to Lender,
if
assignable.
(ii) A
schedule of estimated monthly disbursements, which must be updated each month
and accompany each disbursement request.
(iii) Requisitions
submitted to Lender in the form attached hereto as Exhibit

stating:
(A) The
percentage of completion of the SNF on a line item basis (as such line items
are
identified in the Approved Budget) with respect to each aspect of the cost
of
construction;
(B) The
costs
to complete the SNF in accordance with the Plans approved by Lender on a line
items basis (as such line items are identified in the Approved Budget);
and
(C) That
the
SNF is constructed in substantial conformance with the Plans approved by
Lender.
(vi) Appropriate
lien releases from all contractors, subcontractors and material men who were
the
paid with the Loan disbursements made during the prior month, including, but
not
limited to, an unconditional lien release executed by General Contractor for

release executed by General Contractor for payment requested in current
disbursement.
(vii) Copies
of
all invoices in current request greater than or equal to Five Thousand Dollars
($5,000).
(e) Prior
to
any advance of Loan proceeds for costs incurred in connection with the

Borrower shall furnish Lender with a statement of additional expenses which
covers all additional costs which are to be incurred in connection with the
acquisition and development of the Land and the portions thereof to be financed
by the Loan, with the dollar cost breakdown in such detail as Lender may
require, including verification of any costs specified by Lender. Lender shall
reserve the right to withhold its consent to any proposed amendment to the
Approved Budget until such time as Borrower has complied with the terms of
Section
7.2
(Borrower’s Funds).
Section
7.2 Borrower’s
Funds.
Any
money
required in excess of the Loan proceeds to fully pay all Costs of Construction
is to be provided by Borrower (“Borrower’s Deposit”). Prior to the Closing Date,
Borrower shall provide to Lender (a) evidence satisfactory to Lender that such
money is available for payment of such costs and/or (b) copies of paid receipts
evidencing payment by Borrower of such costs in an amount such that the
remaining Costs of Construction after the Closing Date will not exceed the
Loan
proceeds available pursuant to the Approved Project plus any money available
under clause (a) above. After the Closing Date, if the aggregate amount of
Costs
of Construction increases, Borrower shall provide to Lender either (a)
satisfactory evidence that money required in excess of the Loan proceeds to
fully pay Costs of Construction is available for payment of such costs or (b)
such money shall be actually deposited by Borrower with Lender and advanced
by
Lender prior to the advance of any Loan proceeds hereunder. The amount of
Borrower’s initial equity contribution, if any, is set forth in Exhibit
C
attached
hereto. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained herein, at
no
time shall Lender be obligated to make any advance hereunder if, in Lender’s
reasonable judgment, it appears that for any reason the remaining undisbursed
Loan proceeds will be insufficient to complete construction of the Improvements
in accordance with the Plans and to pay for all Costs of Construction to be
incurred by Borrower until Borrower deposits with Lender such additional cash
or
liquid collateral as, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, will be sufficient to
complete and fully pay the Costs of Construction. Borrower shall deposit such
additional money with Lender into an interest bearing custodial account held
by
Lender (or provide evidence satisfactory to Lender of the availability of such
additional funds) within seven (7) days after its receipt of Lender’s written
demand therefor. Any money deposited by Borrower with Lender pursuant hereto
shall constitute additional collateral for the Loan and shall be advanced prior
to the Loan proceeds unless Lender in its sole discretion determines
otherwise.
44
Section
7.3 Cost
Savings.
Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section
7.1
(Advances of Loan Funds) and Section
7.2
(Borrower’s Funds), in the event that the Costs of Construction with respect to
a particular line item are less than the budgeted amount for such item, as
established upon completion of all work to be performed in connection with
such
line item, then the amount unexpended for such line item may be reallocated,
at
Borrower’s direction and with Lender’s consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, to either another line item in the Approved Budget or
to
the contingency.
Section
7.4 Payment
to Lender or Third Parties.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein contained, at Lender’s election, without further
notice to or authorization by Borrower, Lender may use and disburse Loan
proceeds and Borrower’s Deposit to pay or provide, as and when due, any Loan or
commitment fees owing to Lender, interest on the Loan and such other sums as
may
be owing to Lender or to any third parties with respect to the Loan. Lender
will
disburse Borrower’s Deposit prior to making further advances on the Loan. In any
such event, the amount of Borrower’s Deposit, if any, will be recalculated and
Borrower will add additional cash or liquid collateral (or provide evidence
satisfactory to Lender of the availability of such funds) to Borrower’s Deposit
prior to Lender making further advances under the Loan for Costs of
Construction.
Section
7.5 Offsite
Materials.
In
the
event that any disbursement request includes the cost of materials stored at
a
location other than the Land (“Offsite Materials”), precedent to such
disbursement, Borrower shall provide:
(a) evidence
that Borrower has paid for the Offsite Materials;
(b) if
the
Offsite Materials are stored at the facility of the supplier (an “Offsite
Supplier”), a written statement from the Offsite Supplier that the Offsite
Materials have been paid for by Borrower, have been segregated from other
materials in such facility and have been marked with Borrower’s name. Such
statement shall also acknowledge (i) Lender’s or Inspector’s right to enter the
offsite supplier’s facility at reasonable times to inspect or remove the Offsite
Materials and (ii) Lender’s security interest in the Offsite
Materials;
45
(c) if
the
Offsite Materials are stored in a place other than the facility of the Offsite
Supplier, a written statement from the bailee or other custodian acknowledging
(i) Lender’s or Inspector’s right to enter the storage site at reasonable times
to inspect or remove the Offsite Materials and (ii) Lender’s security interest
in the Offsite Materials;
(d) certificates
of insurance acceptable to Lender showing the Offsite Materials to be insured
as
required hereunder and showing Lender as co-insured; and
(e) evidence
that Borrower has paid all personal property taxes applicable to the Offsite
Materials.
Lender
shall not be required to make disbursements for any Offsite Materials until
Lender or Inspector has inspected and approved such Offsite
Materials.
Section
7.6 Reallocation
of Budget Line Items.
Borrower
shall have the right, at any time and from time to time (but not more often
than
once per calendar month, and then only in connection with a request for an
advance), with the prior consent of Lender, to reallocate all or portions of
the
Loan contingency to a more specific line item in the Approved Budget, including
amounts which may be necessary to cause a line item in the Approved Budget
to be
in balance, or to a new line item to fund other third-party costs and expenses
incurred or to be incurred in connection with the development of the Property
for which there is no existing line item in the Approved Budget.

If
an
O&M Program has been established with respect to Hazardous Materials,

under any O&M Program shall be paid by Borrower, and Lender’s out-of-pocket
costs incurred in connection with the monitoring and review of the O&M
Program and Borrower’s performance shall be paid by Borrower upon demand by

Conditions.
(b) No
Prohibited Activities and Conditions exist or, to the best of Borrower’s

and the Improvements have not contained any underground storage tanks in the
past. If there is an underground storage tank located on the Land or the
Improvements which has been previously disclosed by Borrower to Lender in
writing, that tank complies with all requirements of Hazardous Materials
Laws.
47
(d) Borrower
has complied with all Hazardous Materials Laws, including all requirements
for
notification regarding releases of Hazardous Materials. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Borrower has obtained all Environmental Permits
required for the operation of the Land and the SNF in accordance with Hazardous
Materials Laws now in effect and all such Environmental Permits are in full
force and effect. No event has occurred with respect to the Land and/or
Improvements that constitutes, or with the passing of time or the giving of
notice would constitute, non-compliance with the terms of any Environmental
Permit. Borrower will obtain all Environmental Permits required for the
operation of the SNF in accordance with Hazardous Materials Laws upon completion
of construction and prior to occupancy of the SNF.
(e) There
are
no actions, suits, claims or proceedings pending or, to the best of Borrower’s
knowledge after reasonable and diligent inquiry, threatened that involve the
Land and/or the Improvements and allege, arise out of, or relate to any
Prohibited Activity and Condition.

and warranties in this ARTICLE
VIII

continuing representations and warranties that shall be deemed to be made by
Borrower throughout the term of the Loan, until the Loan Obligations have been
paid in full.
Section
8.6 Notice

occur:
(a) Borrower’s
discovery of any Prohibited Activity and Condition.
(b) Borrower’s
receipt of or knowledge of any complaint, order, notice of violation or other
communication from any Governmental Authority or other Person with regard to
present, or future alleged Prohibited Activities and Conditions or any other
environmental, health or safety matters affecting the Land, the Improvements
or
any other property of Borrower that is adjacent to the Land.
(c) Any
representation or warranty in this ARTICLE
VIII

Any
such

of, any obligation under this Agreement, the Note, or any of the other Loan
Documents.
Section
8.7 Costs
of Inspection.
Borrower
shall pay promptly the costs of any environmental inspections, tests or audits
(“Environmental Inspections”) required by Lender in connection with any
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, or, if required by Lender, as a
condition of Lender’s consent to any “Transfer” (as defined in the Security
Instrument), or required by Lender following a reasonable determination by
Lender that Prohibited Activities and Conditions may exist. Any such costs
incurred by Lender (including the fees and out-of-pocket costs of attorneys
and
technical consultants whether incurred in connection with any judicial or
administrative process or otherwise) which Borrower fails to pay promptly shall
become an additional part of the Loan Obligations. The results of all
Environmental Inspections made by Lender shall at all times remain the property

available to Borrower or any other party such results or any other information
obtained by Lender in connection with its Environmental Inspections. Lender
hereby reserves the right, and Borrower hereby expressly authorizes Lender,
to
make available to any party, including any prospective bidder at a foreclosure
sale of the Mortgaged Property, the results of any Environmental Inspections
made by Lender with respect to the Mortgaged Property. Borrower consents to
Lender notifying any party (either as part of a notice of sale or otherwise)
of
the results of any of Lender's Environmental Inspections. Borrower acknowledges
that Lender cannot control or otherwise assure the truthfulness or accuracy
of
the results of any of its Environmental Inspections and that the release of
such
results to prospective bidders at a foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Property
may have a material and adverse effect upon the amount which a party may bid
at
such sale. Borrower agrees that Lender shall have no liability whatsoever as
a
result of delivering the results of any of its Environmental Inspections to
any
third party, and Borrower hereby releases and forever discharges Lender from
any
and all claims, damages, or causes of action, arising out of, connected with
or
incidental to the results of, the delivery of any of Lender's Environmental
Inspections.

Section
8.8 Remedial
Work.
If
any

improvement of the Land under any Hazardous Materials Law, Borrower shall,
by

Law
or (b) thirty (30) days after notice from Lender demanding such action, begin
performing the Remedial Work, and thereafter prosecute it with reasonable
diligence to completion, and shall in any event complete such work by the time
required by applicable Hazardous Materials Law. If Borrower fails to begin

its option, cause the Remedial Work to be completed, in which case Borrower
shall reimburse Lender on demand for the cost of doing so. Any reimbursement
due
from Borrower to Lender shall become part of the Loan Obligations.
Section
8.9 Cooperation

any
Hazardous Materials Laws and any alleged Hazardous Materials Law and/or
Prohibited Activity and Condition. Borrower, at its own expense, may contest
by
appropriate legal proceedings, conducted diligently and in good faith, the
amount or validity of any such order, if (i) Borrower notifies Lender of the
commencement or expected commencement of such proceedings, (ii) the Mortgaged
Property is not in danger of being sold or forfeited, as determined by Lender,
(iii) if requested by Lender, Borrower deposits with Lender cash reserves or
other collateral sufficient to pay the contested order, (iv) Borrower furnishes
whatever security is required in the proceedings or is reasonably requested
by
Lender, which may include the delivery to Lender of the reserves established
by

(b) Counsel
selected by Borrower to defend Indemnitees shall be subject to the approval
of
those Indemnitees. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, any Indemnitee
may
elect to defend any claim or legal or administrative proceeding at Borrower’s
expense if such Indemnitee has reason to believe that its interests are not
being adequately represented or diverge from the other interests being
represented by such counsel. Nothing contained herein shall prevent an
Indemnitee from employing separate counsel in any such action at any time and
participating in the defense thereof at its own expense.
(c) Borrower
shall not, without the prior written consent of those Indemnitees who are named
as parties to a claim or legal or administrative proceeding arising in
connection with any Hazardous Materials Laws (a “Claim”)
settle
or compromise the Claim if the settlement (i) results in the entry of any
judgment that does not include as an unconditional term the delivery by the
claimant or plaintiff to Lender of a written release of those Indemnitees,
satisfactory in form and substance to Lender; or (ii) may materially and
adversely affect any Indemnitee, as determined by such Indemnitee in its sole
discretion.

release or substitution in whole or in part of any security for the Loan
Obligations.
(vi) Lender’s
failure to properly perfect any lien or security interest given as security

shall, at its own cost and expense, do all of the following:

VIII
shall be
in addition to any and all other obligations and liabilities that Borrower
may
have under the applicable law or under the other Loan Documents, and each
Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification under this ARTICLE
VIII
without
regard to whether Lender or that Indemnitee has exercised any rights against
the
Land and/or the Improvements or any other security, pursued any rights against
any guarantor, or pursued any other rights available under the Loan Documents
or
applicable law. If Borrower consists of more than one person or entity, the
obligation of those persons or entities to indemnify the Indemnitees under
this
ARTICLE
VIII
shall be
joint and several. The obligations of Borrower to indemnify the Indemnitees
under this ARTICLE
VIII
shall
survive any repayment or discharge of the Loan Obligations, any foreclosure
proceeding, any foreclosure sale, any delivery of any deed in lieu of
foreclosure, and any release of record of the lien of the Mortgage.
Notwithstanding anything in this Article VII to the contrary, the liability
of
Borrower hereunder shall not extend to any Prohibited Activity and Condition
arising solely after the date the Lender, or its duly authorized agents, take

grace period described in the document under which such default occurred;
or
(x) Failure
to complete construction of the SNF substantially in accordance with the Plans
on or before the Completion Date, subject to Force Majeure.
Notwithstanding
anything in this Section, all requirements of notice shall be deemed eliminated
if Lender is prevented from declaring an Event of Default by bankruptcy or
other
applicable law, in which case, the cure period, if any, shall then run from
the
occurrence of the event or condition of Default rather than from the date of
notice.
Section
9.2 Remedies.
Upon
the
occurrence of any one or more of the foregoing Events of Default, Lender may,
at
its option:
(a) Immediately
terminate any further advance of Loan proceeds hereunder, and from time to
time
apply all or any part of the undisbursed Loan proceeds to payment of accrued
interest under the Note and/or upon any other obligations of Borrower hereunder
or under the Loan Documents.
(b) Declare
the entire unpaid principal of the Loan Obligations to be, and the same shall
thereupon become, immediately due and payable, without presentment, protest
or
further demand or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly
waived.
55
(c) Enter
upon the Land and complete construction of the Improvements in accordance with
the Plans with such changes therein (except for material changes as to scope
or
use) as Lender may from time to time and in its judgment deem appropriate,
all
at the risk and expense of Borrower. Lender shall have the right at any time
to
discontinue any work commenced by it with respect to the Improvements or to
change any course of action undertaken by it and not be bound by any limitations
or requirements of time whether set forth herein or otherwise. Lender shall
have
the right and power (but shall not be obligated) to assume any construction
contract made by or on behalf of Borrower in any way relating to the
Improvements and to take over and use all or any part of the labor, materials,
supplies, and equipment contracted for by or on behalf of Borrower whether
or
not previously incorporated into the Improvements, all in the discretion of
Lender. In connection with any work of construction undertaken by Lender
pursuant to the provisions of this Section
9.2(c),
Lender
may (i) engage builders, contractors, architects, engineers and others for
the
purpose of furnishing labor, materials and equipment in connection with the
construction of the Improvements, (ii) pay, settle or compromise all bills
or
claims which may become liens against the Land or which have been or may be
incurred in any manner in connection with completing construction of the
Improvements or for the discharge of liens, encumbrances or defects in title
of
the Land, (iii) take such other action, including the employment of watchmen
to
protect the Improvements, or refrain from taking action under this Agreement
as
Lender may in its discretion determine from time to time. Borrower shall be
liable to Lender for all sums paid or incurred for completing construction
of
the Improvements, whether the same shall be paid or incurred pursuant to the
provisions of this Section
9.2(c)
or
otherwise, and all payments made or liabilities incurred by Lender hereunder
of
any kind whatsoever shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand, with
interest at the Default Rate set forth in the Note, and all of the foregoing
shall be deemed and shall constitute advances under this Agreement and be
secured by the Loan Documents. For the purpose of carrying out the provisions
and exercising the rights, powers and privileges granted by this Section
9.2(c),
Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender
its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to enter into such contracts, perform
such
acts and incur such liabilities as are referred to in this Section
9.2(c)
in the
name and on behalf of Borrower. This power of attorney shall be deemed
irrevocable and is coupled with an interest.
(d) Where
substantial deviations from the Plans appear which have not been approved as
set
forth herein, or defective or unworkmanlike labor or materials are being used
in
the construction of the Improvements, or upon receipt of knowledge of
encroachments to which there has been no consent, Lender shall have the right
immediately to order stoppage of the construction and demand that such
condition(s) be corrected. After issuance of such an order in writing, no
further work shall be done on the Improvements without the prior written consent
of Lender unless and until said condition has been fully corrected.
(e) Proceed
to protect and enforce its rights by action at law (including, without
limitation, bringing suit to reduce any claim to judgment), suit in equity
and
other appropriate proceedings including, without limitation, for specific
performance of any covenant or condition contained in this
Agreement.
(f) Exercise
any and all rights and remedies afforded by the laws of the United States,
the
states in which any of the Mortgaged Property is located or any other
appropriate jurisdiction as may be available for the collection of debts and
enforcement of covenants and conditions such as those contained in this
Agreement and the Loan Documents.
56
(g) Exercise
the rights and remedies of setoff and/or banker’s lien against the interest of
Borrower in and to every account and other property of Borrower which is in
the
possession of Lender or any Person who then owns a participating interest in
the
Loan to the extent of the full amount of the Loan.
(h) Exercise
its rights and remedies pursuant to any other Loan Documents.
ARTICLE
X
MISCELLANEOUS
Section
10.1 Waiver.
No
remedy
conferred upon, or reserved to, Lender in this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies,
and
each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every
other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing in law or in equity.
Exercise of or omission to exercise any right of Lender shall not affect any
subsequent right of Lender to exercise the same. No course of dealing between
Borrower and Lender or any delay on Lender’s part in exercising any rights shall
operate as a waiver of any of Lender’s rights. No waiver of any Default under
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall extend to or shall
affect any subsequent or other then existing Default or shall impair any rights,
remedies or powers of Lender.
Section
10.2 Costs
and Expenses.
Borrower
will bear all taxes, fees and commercially reasonable expenses (including actual
attorneys’ fees and expenses of counsel for Lender) in connection with the Loan,
the Note, the Security Instrument, the preparation of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents (including any amendments hereafter made), and in
connection with any modifications thereto and the recording of any of the Loan
Documents; excluding, however, taxes assessed against Lender on the basis of
its
income or assets. If, at any time, an Event of Default occurs or Lender becomes
a party to any suit or proceeding in order to protect its interests or priority
in any collateral for any of the Loan Obligations or its rights under this
Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, or if Lender is made a party to any
suit
or proceeding by virtue of the Loan, this Agreement or any Mortgaged Property
and as a result of any of the foregoing, Lender employs counsel to advise or
provide other representation with respect to this Agreement, or to collect
the
balance of the Loan Obligations, or to take any action in or with respect to
any
suit or proceeding relating to this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents,
any Mortgaged Property, Borrower, any Guarantor, General Partner, or Manager,
or
to protect, collect, or liquidate any of the security for the Loan Obligations,
or attempt to enforce any security interest or lien granted to Lender by any
of
the Loan Documents, then in any such event, all of the actual attorneys’ fees
arising from such services, including attorneys’ fees for preparation of
litigation and in any appellate or bankruptcy proceedings, and any expenses,
costs and charges relating thereto shall constitute additional obligations
of
Borrower to Lender payable on demand of Lender. Without limiting the foregoing,
Borrower has undertaken the obligation for payment of, and shall pay, all
recording and filing fees, revenue or documentary stamps or taxes, intangibles
taxes, and other taxes, expenses and charges payable in connection with this
Agreement, any of the Loan Documents, the Loan Obligations, or the filing of
any
financing statements or other instruments required to effectuate the purposes
of
this Agreement (excluding taxes assessed against Lender on the basis of its
income or assets), and should Borrower fail to do so, Borrower agrees to
reimburse Lender for the amounts paid by Lender, together with penalties or
interest, if any, incurred by Lender as a result of underpayment or nonpayment.
All such amounts shall constitute a portion of the Loan Obligations, shall
be
secured by the Security Instrument and shall bear interest at the Default Rate
from the date advanced by Lender until repaid.
57
Section
10.3 Performance
of Lender.
At
its
option, upon Borrower’s failure to do so, Lender may make any payment or do any
act on Borrower’s behalf that Borrower or others are required to do to remain in
compliance with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and Borrower
agrees to reimburse Lender, on demand, for any payment made or expense incurred
by Lender pursuant to the foregoing authorization, including, without
limitation, attorneys’ fees, and until so repaid any sums advanced by Lender
shall constitute a portion of the Loan Obligations, shall be secured by the
Security Instrument and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date
advanced until repaid.
Section
10.4 Indemnification.
Borrower
shall, at its sole cost and expense, protect, defend, indemnify and hold
harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all claims, suits,

in value, fines, penalties, charges, fees, expenses, judgments, awards, amounts
paid in settlement, punitive damages, foreseeable and unforeseeable

of any Rents, (b) any amendment to, or restructuring of, the Loan Obligations
and/or any of the Loan Documents, (c) any and all lawful action that may be
taken by Lender in connection with the enforcement of the provisions of the
Loan
Documents, whether or not suit is filed in connection with same, or in
connection with Borrower, Guarantor, General Partner, Manager, any other

or
renewal thereof or substitution therefor, (j) performance of any labor or
services or the furnishing of any materials or other property with respect

of the transaction in connection with which the Loan is made, (l) any
misrepresentation made to Lender in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan
Documents, (m) any tax on the making and/or recording of the Security
Instrument, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents; (n) the violation
by
Borrower of any requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of
1974, as amended, (o) any fines or penalties assessed or any corrective costs
incurred by Lender if the Facility or any part of the Land and/or Improvements
is determined to be in violation of any covenants, restrictions of record,
or
any applicable laws, ordinances, rules or regulations, or (p) the enforcement
by
any of the Indemnified Parties of the provisions of this Section
10.4.
Any
amounts payable to Lender by reason of the application of this Section
10.4,
shall
become immediately due and payable, and shall constitute a portion of the Loan
Obligations, shall be secured by the Security Instrument and shall accrue
interest at the Default Rate. The obligations and liabilities of Borrower under
this Section
10.4
shall
survive any termination, satisfaction, assignment, entry of a judgment of
foreclosure or exercise of a power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of
foreclosure of the Security Instrument. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein, the liabilities and obligations of the Borrower under Section 10.4(d),
(e), (h) or (o) shall not extend to any activity or condition giving rise to
any
such liability or obligation which activity or condition arises solely after
the
date the Lender, or its duly authorized agents, take possession of the Land
and
the Improvements pursuant to a receivership action, foreclosure or deed in
lieu
of foreclosure. For purposes of this Section
10.4,

term “Indemnified Parties” means Lender and any Person who is or will have been

full or partial interest in the Loan or the Mortgaged Property, whether during
the term of the Security Instrument or as a part of or following a foreclosure
of the Loan and including, without limitation, any successors by merger,

Either
party may change its address to another single address by notice given as herein
provided, except any change of address notice must be actually received in
order
to be effective. Each party agrees that it will not refuse or reject delivery
of
any Notice given in accordance with this Section
10.7
(Notices), that it will acknowledge, in writing, the receipt of any Notice
upon
request by the other party and that any Notice rejected or refused by it shall
be deemed for purposes of this Section
10.7
to have
been received by the rejecting party on the date so refused or rejected, as
conclusively established by the records of the U.S. Postal Service or the
courier service.
Section
10.8 Benefits.
All
of
the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. No Person
other than Borrower or Lender shall be entitled to rely upon this Agreement
or
be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.
Section
10.9 Participation.
Borrower
acknowledges that Lender may, at its option, sell participation interests in
the
Loan or to other participating banks or Lender may (but shall not be obligated
to) assign its interest in the Loan to its affiliates, or to other assignees
(the “Assignee”) to be included as a pool of properties to be financed in a
proposed Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit (REMIC). Borrower agrees with
each present and future participant in the Loan or Assignee of the Loan that
if
an Event of Default should occur, each present and future participant or
Assignee shall have all of the rights and remedies of Lender with respect to
any
amount due from Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents. The execution by a
participant of a participation agreement with Lender, and the execution by
Borrower of this Agreement, regardless of the order of execution, shall evidence
an agreement between Borrower and said participant in accordance with the terms
of this Section. If the Loan is assigned to the Assignee, the Assignee will
engage an underwriter (the “Underwriter”), who will be responsible for the due
diligence, documentation, preparation and execution of certain documents
required in connection with the offering of interests in the REMIC. Borrower
agrees that Lender may, at its sole option and without notice to or consent
of
Borrower, assign its interest in the Loan to the Assignee for inclusion in
the
REMIC and, in such event, Borrower agrees to provide the Assignee with such
information as may be reasonably required by the Underwriter in connection
therewith or by an investor in any securities backed in whole or in part by
the
Loan or any rating agency rating such securities. Borrower irrevocably waives
any and all right it may have under applicable law to prohibit such disclosure,
including, but not limited to, any right of privacy, and consents to the
disclosure of such information to the Underwriter, to potential investors in
the
REMIC, and to such rating agencies.
Section
10.10 Signs.
Borrower
will not place a sign on the Land and/or the Improvements, evidencing that
construction financing is being provided by Lender, without the prior written
consent to and approval of such sign by Lender.
Section
10.11 Supersedes
Prior Agreements; Counterparts.
This
Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the instruments referred to herein
and
therein supersede and incorporate all representations, promises, and statements,
oral or written, made by Lender in connection with the Loan. This Agreement
may
not be varied, altered, or amended except by a written instrument executed
by an
authorized officer of Lender. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of
counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be an original,
but such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same
instrument.
Section
10.12 Loan
Agreement Governs.
The
Loan
is governed by terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents and in the event of any irreconcilable conflict between the
terms
of the other Loan Documents and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this
Agreement shall control; provided, however, in the event there is any apparent
conflict between any particular term or provision which appears in both this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and it is possible and reasonable for
the
terms of both this Agreement and the Loan Documents to be performed or complied
with then notwithstanding the foregoing both the terms of this Agreement and
the
other Loan Documents shall be performed and complied with.

THE PARTIES THERETO, SO THAT IT IS TO BE BROUGHT IN A UNITED STATES DISTRICT
COURT, IT SHALL BE BROUGHT IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN
DISTRICT OF TEXAS OR ANY SUCCESSOR FEDERAL COURT HAVING ORIGINAL
JURISDICTION.
Section
10.15 WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL.
TO
THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY
WAIVES ANY RIGHT THAT EACH MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY CLAIM,
COUNTERCLAIM, SETOFF, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (A) ARISING OUT OF

OTHERWISE, OR THE CONDUCT OR THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES HERETO, IN ALL

THE FOREGOING CASES WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING AND WHETHER
SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. BORROWER AGREES THAT LENDER MAY FILE
A
COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING,
VOLUNTARY, AND BARGAINED AGREEMENT OF BORROWER IRREVOCABLY TO WAIVE ITS RIGHTS
TO TRIAL BY JURY AS AN INDUCEMENT TO LENDER TO MAKE THE LOAN, AND THAT, TO
THE
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY WHATSOEVER
(WHETHER OR NOT MODIFIED HEREIN) BETWEEN BORROWER AND LENDER
